vulnerable PHD DIARIES vlog: productivity, gratitude, reflection, & winning a big award?!

Welcome or welcome back! ❤️
This vlog is a bit of a rollercoaster! I set out to make a "romanticizing my life" / gratitude vlog, but I ran into a lot of frustration with my dissertation (what else is new?), so I had to take a step back. I reflect on where I was at this time a few years ago and make some manifestations for the coming year. AND I FOUND OUT I WON A HUGE TEACHING AWARD?!

I just got accepted into the masters program in Jewish Studies at IU Bloomington!! I've been watching your videos for months and feel so lucky and excited to start in the Fall

[@MaddieMettler]

Super huge congrats on the award! Your passion and talent for teaching really comes through in your vlogs! I really related to this video, especially you reflecting on your breakdown. I too have a YT video of a breakdown about grad school (I think it's literally called "should I quit grad school") after SEVERE burnout 1.5 years into my program. But looking back on that person, I am in such a better place and such a different person, student, researcher, and engineer. I am so glad at this point that I stuck it out because it did get better.

Thank you so much 🥹 it can be tough, but it’s always so refreshing to look back and see how much we‘ve grown 😭

[@bpal5644]

Congratulations. You deserve it! I learn so much from your channel and I’m in a completely different discipline to you. You should feel proud about your teaching ability 😊

[@katokat-19]

I so look forward to these vlogs every week!! I love hearing about your phd journey including the day-to-day stuff and the bigger reflections. Makes me feel in community as I work on my own

[@lfiz983]

Congratulations on the award!! Teachers make or break the college experience, you should be so proud of being a great one. Not wanting it enough to go through the bullshit is such a relatable phd feeling, but the moments like those make it worth it

Congratulations!!!!! So excited for you, what a well deserved award. It seriously feels like academia is fueled by imposter syndrome. It's normal to have all of the emotions and I am sending you the best vibes for fellowships and teaching jobs.

Congratulations, Sarah!! Your dedication to teaching and your topic shines through constantly in your vlogs. I know how easy it is to doubt ourselves in academia, but let this award be a sign that you're on the right path, despite the hardships.
