Yo, I’m Caden Howlett. I just finished the second year of my PhD in Geosciences at the University of Arizona. This video intends to share a few things I’ve learned that might be helpful to someone looking to succeed in graduate school (or perhaps outside of school as well). Please reach out with any questions and I hope you enjoy the video.

Great advice, Caden! I needed to hear this today!

8:58 If anything, this was the one thing that I feel like helped me the most. My attitude towards my professors & teachers I'd call the respectful casual. It's not really a play to use them or anything, it really is just befriending some people who you collaborate with. Yes, I also view learning and being taught as a collaboration. It should be a back and forth - and it only becomes that if you approach your professors. They want to help you, they are not scary. :D

I love the commando entrance.

Great video! When I'm in need of some extra external motivation, I read von Humboldt.

THIS MUST BE IMPORTANT

These were actually veryyy helpful though I myself am almost at the end of the second year of my Ph.D. in Hydrogeology! I am really glad to have found a YT channel of a fellow geoscientist and have cruised through most of your videos! Hope to meet you may be in a geological conference one day! ^_^

@cadenhowlett Год назад

Excellent, glad it could be of use. Do you have to take a comprehensive exam this year? If so, good luck :) I will look for your name at conferences in the future.

@rakibasultana9823 Год назад

@@cadenhowlett Yeah!! Thank you!! Will look for your name too!

Thank you for this. I'm 33 years old a mother to 6 children and I just registered for my 1st college classes. I am going to study geology and I would like to minor in paleontology. I'll have to uproot and move my family in a year in order to finish my degree. There are so many unknowns and I'm over the moon excited for all of it. Thanks for these reminders. They are simple and may seem silly or cliche but honestly it is a humbling reminder that we are all human, we need to be patient with the process and just take it as it comes. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!

thanks for the nice words and I hope you deeply enjoy your pursuits in geoscience

I’m not a graduate student, I havent even set foot in a classroom since I graduated high school, but i still found a lot of these tips helpful. Really good things to remember and keep in mind for self discipline and motivation. I like the idea these tips can be used for the Students of Life, like myself, as well lol

@cadenhowlett Год назад

awesome, I really hope my videos resonate with people outside of universities. When it comes down to it, it is all made for the general science enthusiast.

@MagzzEditz 2 года назад

Hell ya 2nd year in the books my man

@gracemckenney5477 Год назад

As someone getting their masters degree (environmental science w/ focus on wildfires), I concur with all of these tips!

@cadenhowlett Год назад

Yay cool!

I have MAJOR imposter syndrome just as a community college student. I haven't taken a single Geo class and I just finished my first year. Next year, I'm hoping I can finally begin. on them. The rest of my general Ed can wait.

@abeunderhill 2 года назад

Hey it all takes time! I decided to return to school to get my undergrad at 29 and had to do the CC route first. But after one full year at a university now, it’s been worth it. I can relate to the imposter syndrome since my classmates are mostly younger and don’t have a wife or a mortgage and stuff. For me, I just have to keep my goals in mind and understand that everyone’s path is different. Like Caden said, it’s difficult for everyone but that doesn’t mean it’s difficult in the same way. Idk if that helps at all but I related to what you said and wanted to drop something positive. Keep it up!

@Canis_Fatalis Год назад

@@abeunderhill Thanks. Sorry, for some reason my notifications for response comments were turned off. Since I've posted this comment, I have already taken one of my major specific courses and am half way through my second required geology course. The biggest stress right now is maths being a gatekeeper. But to say the least, I've begun to look differently at my progress and now celebrate my current. trajectory. Thanks for your response. It certainly helps.
