As someone who is also in the process of completing a PhD, I found this SO COMPLETELY comforting. Finding a lot of joy and inspiration in this as I start my own thesis-writing-filled day. Thank you, thank you!
P.S. YOUR HELEN CHAPTER SOUNDS SO FASCINATING!
I have always enjoyed that we were in similar stages with our thesis. I am planning on handing mine in at the end of the month. So my day today was: waking up at 8, breakfast, getting ready, cleaning the house until noon, having lunch, going for a walk (luckily no rain here) and then going through my tables and adding information for about 5-6 hours. Now I had dinner and watched this. :) Winding down in the evenings is so important for me, too, because otherwise I won't sleep and then a lose a productive morning - or worse get a migraine.
Love this! Another PhD student here pushing through those final months. Could relate to so many moments you shared (I made the same comment just yesterday about it being March - no April 🤦♀️).
All the very best for your redrafting and getting through these final stages.
I cant wait to read your PhD once its finished omg feels like ive been following this journey !
ah this was so fun and interesting to watch! also your apartment is just too darn cute i love it! good luck finishing up your doctorate you can do it!! :)
You are doing amazing. Gives me so much hope for my MPHIL thesis. Loads of love
That 'I Could be Reading' sticker on your laptop is such a mood 😂
It truly is ahahaha!
I loved this video Jean, thank you so much for sharing
I love this video! Please do more
This was a lovely video! Huge good luck with the final stretch! I'm currently a part time MSc video and hoping to go onto a PhD🤞
Thanks for this video!
I love these sorts of videos! It's also good to know that you take time for yourself and your wellbeing.
I've looked at PhDs (I did my MA in 2011) but I still don't understand how people know what to do or how to even begin lol
Omg I love these Kin of vlogs. Do more!!
I have my MFA in creative writing and had my eye on applying to PhD but then proceeded to have three kids. This video makes me want to consider it again. I love school. What an incredible thesis you’re writing. 🤯
I love this! It is interesting to see a tiny snippet of being a PhD student and totally with you on clean bedding being pure joy!
Yay I'm glad you enjoyed it - never sure if these kind of videos will be of interest.
@@JeansThoughts sometimes it is lovely to just see someone living their life. I find it comforting.
Loved this! I’m in the diss writing phase and hoping to defend in about a year. I’m in Ontario, Canada and we’ve been having terrible rain here too but I try to still take regular walks to clear the mind! Best of luck as you finish up and submit :)
Eeeeh we're in this together. I should be defending summer/early autumn and I'm terrified - mainly of blanking on the spot aha - but realistically I'm sure it'll be fine.
This video reminds me when I was writing my MA's dissertation (don't know how it works in the UK but in France we have one in MA) and I feel so stressed 😂 I loved reading articles and books but I hated having to read eveything again and again and again to correct my typos and my wording. I wanted to cry every day 😂
So interesting and thanks for the insights! When I finished my MA a few years ago I swore I would never do anything academic again, but I am starting to have the urge!
Also, totally going to buy that ring. Gorgeous!
Aha tbh I’m at that stage - so ready to finally be done with academia but maybe in 10 years I’ll change my mind!
This gave me so many flashbacks to the final months working on my master's thesis! Those moments of like I know I need to get more sources but gosh how many times do I have to tread this ground!? haha In good company for sure.
Totally agree about buying yourself jewellery! The rune stones are lovely
Periods do suck
This was great to watch while im in bed ill and feeling bad that i havent done any editing
I literally just found your channel and I should have come across it much much sooner 😭 I'm about to start my PhD on Greek mythology and I think your channel is going to help me get through it ♥️🥺
"I'll have breakfast and then crack on with editing"
Next shot: **reads books**
Perfect representation of my PhD experience :-D
Ooh congrats on the new book deal, by the way!!
Aw thank you!!! It's another children's book and I'm super excited to announce more details :D
I had many of these days last year while finishing my Doctorate! Wishing I had accomplished more, but glad I accomplished something. You will get there, just keep plugging away a little each day! 💗📚
I'm very glad to hear that Low to mid accomplishment days are pretty common at end stage of PhD aha - it feels like every day I should be doing so much until it's done now!
@@JeansThoughts they all add up. As long as you keep doing something each time, it will get done. I can't wait to celebrate with you!!
I'm watching your video right after writing about Ciceronian ethos. I also work on rhetoric but in the Renaissance 😊
You have best communication skills
My approach to tarot is quite similar to yours.. have you tried the literary witches oracle? the book is better than the oracle if I'm being honest, but it is also a good and bookish way to find a prompt for some self-therapy :)

Great content and subscribed! Would love to hear what you think of our grad school channel. Thank you.
Have you ever played Assassin's Creed Odyssey? I'd be very curious to hear your take on the accuracy of the stories in that world.
Aha I haven't - it's not really the kind of video game I enjoy but I know Dr Ellie Mackin on insta/tiktok/twitter talks a lot of about video games inspired by antiquity and she is an absolute expert in her stuff!
@@JeansThoughts I'll check her out! I'm not very knowledgeable on ancient times but also wonder about popular movies like Troy. What did they get right, what did they get wrong. It's a fun way to learn history through modern entertainment.
