    I'm a few days late here, but I just wanted to say that this is such a well-put and important to remember point; the dissertation is never going to be incredible, but *useful* is the goal. And especially in the humanities, it's really a *draft* of your first book--so it's kind of implied it isn't even done yet!

      Thank you! And yes!!! I love how you said "first draft of the book" that is SUCH a powerful way to reframe your dissertation! Thank you so much for commenting and sharing your perspective!!!! I really appreciate it

    I discovered your channel two days ago. Am currently in the last leg of my PhD writing, struggling to tie the loose ends together, questioning everything I did till now and wondering whether any of it is making any sense. Your words were just what I needed. And although I may still go in a downward spiral on opening my word document tomorrow, it helps to know that I can remind myself of your thoughts here and try and push myself to keep at it till the whole darn thing is finished. Thanks for your videos :)

      YESSSSS!!!! Thats why i needed to make this video because I also go into a downward spiral every so often and these gentle reminders can be super helpful! Thank you for commenting and letting me know I am not alone!!! I am so so so happy this video was helpful to you and I wish you good vibes and peace on this last bit of your writing! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!

    I am so happy to be able to watch your informative videos again! My previous TH-cam account was started with my undergrad email and when that expired, I didn't know how to recover the account, so I started a new one with a new address! That being said, I am sure that your dissertation is well researched and will impress! I was so busy last semester that I didn't have time to keep up with your latest videos. Now that the holiday break is here, I am working my way through them!

      TIM!! How is everything! I can imagine how busy you have been! Are you feeling like you're in the swing of things!? I am sooo happy to hear from you!
      (I will have more informational videos coming soon.... I have just been struggling finding balance!)

      I love your videos! So busy this semester! I finally had my committee set up and the form filled out. However, I managed to spill my latte all over it! Now, I have to get it resigned, which will be embarrassing! I am teaching again this semester, but I only have 30 students instead of 60, so it won't be as busy. Otherwise, I am just trying to stay in the game!@@BrisaMarie

      @TimothyFewless hi! How exciting!!! I can totally relate to having to go back because of a simple mistake!!!!! Lattes are sneaky ahhaha but I'm happy you're making progress!
      How are you liking teaching? I'm sure your students love you!
