how do you pay your rent in summer by the way? you said you only have 9 months stipend

Congrats Katherine. Good to see you. Take care !

Starting year 2 of my PhD! Hope you're almost done :)

Fellow awardee of the Historial here, can't believe I found another FWW specialist here on youtube!

Yeah, an update from you! Congrats on baby nephew and for the award! Glad your travels went well. I've always wanted to see Egypt and hope you have a lot of fun there. I'm still in year 1 of the PhD journey and so far have a chosen topic. It is something that has always interested me even during undergrad. Did you ever feel that your topic was not the one though?? If so, how did you overcome it? Thanks for the update, so good to hear fom you!

Hocking Hills is so pretty! I live just outside of Cincinnati. Wow - hope you get some sleep soon! Ha, ha! Just found your channel and looking into hearing more!

yay so happy to see your face on here again!

After so long . I have been waiting for this 😊❤🎉. Hugs and kisses from 🇮🇳

whats the cost of living right now? im planning for next year?

considering getting a phD because I can't get a job :( I have a BS in ChE

I posted a first day of grad school vlog because you inspired me!😘

Is there need to pay tuition fees of 3rd year of phd or tuition fees is waived off in phd in USA in a fully funded phd??

Hello can you share your experiences for history students?

Hey Katherine, just find out your channel while I was looking for some guidance regarding chapter writing. I am in second year PhD in History and far from writing though but so good to see your videos. I have some doubts though. Can I I get your email id?

We need a new video 😢

Hello Katherine, I am advised by another PHD graduate to keep my first chapter, and conclusion to the end of the thesis. What do you think

I kept logs daily-ish all along my master’s thesis and it was very helpful both as an acknowledgement of what was done that day but especially when I look back at it while planning and also preparing for meetings with my advisor. Turns out without a diary of thesis work i forget half of what i do, never give myself enough credit, and feel much less a sense of achievement than i ought to.

I’m going to NYU for French studies starting in September!

You speak in a very clear manner.. so professional 💙👌🏾

Phone number???

you never buy a car on financing. and get your own credit card and repay it in full every month, best way to build a good credit

Thanks for sharing!

Although not a PHD disertation I will be starting my masters thesis in the fall in History. I enjoy watching yours and several others go through the process and realize the feeling in the pit of my stomach is normal. Keep it up.

Hi Katherine! Is there an email we can reach you at? Would love to discuss a partnership!

hi how many more years you have till you submit your thesis

Your schedule reflects the true essence of a PhD student’s life and thanks for sharing this content.

Very glad you are back! I just started my PhD journey (History) and your channel is very inspirational.

So happy to see your videos again! Definitely looking forward to seeing the video about earning extra income. I am having to put my MA in History on hold due to financial difficulties and am currently looking into continuing my degree online.

Good to see you back Katherine. I am almost done with my data collection and will begin my data management in a month or so. Ph D programs are so different here in India, but following you helps me to keep up with my work. Thanks for making these videos, God bless you my dear!

Glad to see you back! I am a Biology PhD Student and it is so interesting seeing how similar yet different our experiences are in our PhDs :)

Happy to see you back! I’m working on history and library science master’s degrees, and your vids remind me that I can do this despite the challenges!

So glad to see a vlog of yours in my recommendations today!

This woman has a bind of beauty and brilliance...

Hello can you comment about the income tax that you had to pay. Thanks

Thanks. I needed to hear this!

I just got rejected for a PhD from 4 schools. Everything you talked about resonated with me so much. And I thought I was all alone in this coz all you hear about always are the success stories. Thank you ❤

Hi Katherine really inspiring journey of yours let me know how i can reach out to you i want make my path to succeeding academia path

Hi , I have recently done my PhD in history....what is your topic ?

Awesome channel- it opened my eyes to the insane reading volume humanities PhD students have. I have a couple questions: (1) On one of your qualifying exam prep vids, you'd listed some pretty intense themes like the dynamics of violence and extreme violence; how can you read hundreds to a thousand pages of that per week and not be consistently sad and depressed? How do you keep your spirits up when reading about and analyzing tragic events? (2) Did your tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) end up healing up? I assumed you were taking notes by typing, but I saw your note-taking vids, and I guess you hand-write them on the ipad using the ipad pen; as someone who's had tennis elbow triggered by writing in the past, hand writing exacerbated it more than typing.

Hi Katherine! I'll be attending OSU as a PhD student in the Fall and your videos have been incredibly helpful! Which neighborhoods in Columbus do you recommend for grad students (affordable/close to campus/safe)?

That Biden-Harris sticker really diminishes ANY intellect that you claim to have.

I recently received a PhD offer in chemistry from Stony Brook University, including a $37,000 Graduate Teaching Assistantship and an additional $4,000 merit-based scholarship, totaling $41,000. Could you provide information on the estimated tax deduction for this income and help me understand the actual amount I can expect to receive after taxes? 😊

I hear Harvard pays $42,000 a year in stipend

Be grateful the shit University of Chicago rejected you. It would have destroyed your soul and discarded you without a second thought.

Best of luck! Happy new year.

It was a big year, you are doing great So proud of all your hard work, it will pay off love you

Glad to get a chance to catch up on your videos! They always have great tips to help in grad school! I had to reopen a new TH-cam account because my previous one was tied to my undergrad email which expired. Glad to have the opportunity to unwind during the holiday break and catch up on videos!

Congrats! Its been a joy to see your journey so far!

Congrats on a big year, and good luck with your goals for this next year!! I just defended and graduated with my PhD in archaeology from the University of Cincinnati and am looking for non-academic jobs so I have an entirely different set of goals/questions/things to think about than I did for the past almost-decade of grad school, which is exciting but also terrifying.

I hope you achieve all your future goals I have some suggestions if you don't mind How about a video series of tips for new Ph.D. candidates? Include for example A summary of your previous three years - What mistakes do most students make - What computer tools and programs are useful for a phd student in the History Department - What are health tips, especially for those who spend a long time in front of the computer - How can a phd student make time for entertainment, etc.!
