Hi Katie. I'm Colleen. Just started subscribing to your channel and Kaelyn Grace Apple's as well, since I'm a PhD Sociology student in the University of the Philippines Diliman, and I also just inquired about joining Accepted Society. I know you posted this particular vlog a few months ago, and I know the things you shared here aren't what you might be feeling anymore right now, but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the vulnerability you shared here, with your feelings of sadness, being overwhelmed, and the challenges you had with your thesis. Of course, I don't want anyone to feel those things, but I've been going through the same things right now with my own final research papers. I also have bipolar II disorder. So, it felt rather comforting to know that I have never been alone in feeling this way because of course there are other grad students who are "neurodivergent" and have also struggled in school. What's important is that you also stayed positive here by being grateful and proud of yourself for what you had achieved in this video, with your thesis. I also have similar concerns as well with my own journey, but mine are more on worries about maybe being dropped from the PhD program if I am not able to meet my deadlines today for my final papers (I've had a hard semester applying and working in jobs in a call center and finally getting a job in a government development agency in the research department, and I think my mental health is getting affected with the lack of sleep I've had this week, working on my papers). But I hope that if I would ask for an extension from my professors, they would understand. I have already asked for consideration on these papers because these are actually delayed research papers that I have from the past year. But I've had a financially difficult time the past year, although I am very grateful that things are looking up since my current job pays well. Moreover, I feel a bit of shame of the idea of asking for another extension from my professors for making bipolar II disorder a reason for being unprofessional about my deadlines, but I just can't help it. My brain hasn't been functioning since yesterday because I feel a bit overwhelmed. I think I might do what you did in this video and get myself some bright light therapy outdoors this morning. In any case, I think I'm going to visit a psychiatrist as well to get an appointment, since that has been long overdue for me. Nothing beats getting a professional to help you out when you need it. But overall, I just wanted to affirm the experiences you've shared in your channel, and how much it is helping people like me. Whatever the future holds, I hope I will be able to stay committed to my goal of developing my country through development work and education (since I was also a college professor), and to graduate from my PhD. Thanks, Katie, and wishing you all good blessings in your schooling and in life!

Enjoying your videos for the last two years. What was your experience like at The New School/Parsons? And in comparison to UC Berkeley?

@TheVintageAcademic15 күн бұрын

Ooh that’s a huge question! Long story short is that they are two entirely different cultures that took some adjusting to in both cases. I found that I really enjoyed learning at Parsons because UC Berkeley (and community college) gave me a good foundation to work from. It would take a whole video to explain this in depth, but I will add your question to a Q&A video in the future! ♥️

I am submitting my master's thesis in about a month and my ADHD brain is not cooperating as well as I would like it to, but I know I can and will do it! Congrats on submitting your thesis! This is really motivating me right now.

You’ve got this!! Don’t be afraid to trust yourself and lean into your ADHD ability to respond to deadline pressure - just remember to also take care of yourself with sleep, adequate nutrition, water, movement, etc. I know you can do it!! I’ll cross my fingers for you and please update me when you’ve finished!

@SapphirePanorama17 күн бұрын

Thank you! This is so extremely relatable. I struggle with figuring out how to organize all the stuff that gets piled up on shelves, the floor, etc. when it doesn't have a clear place to belong. So I end up leaving stuff in piles gathering dust for months, sometimes years. I need a class on all of this!!

@TheVintageAcademic17 күн бұрын

I get that!! I also still leave piles of stuff around the house- especially piles of books lol. It’s something I’m not sure I’ll ever get the hang of 😅

Aw thank you! It’s something I want to do before I dedicate myself to more years of study. I think it’s important to have a good sense of self when you’re in academia

@assailedloner704418 күн бұрын

I related to a lot of this. I had a joke where I'd say "When people ask me what I'm going to do after I graduate, I tell them 'Take a nap!'" But yeah, life moves on, and another massive undertaking is on the horizon. Cool. =)

@TheVintageAcademic17 күн бұрын

Taking naps is precisely what I’ve been doing ever since graduation lol. Life does indeed move on and I look forward to what’s next!

Oooooh the tradwife research would be so cool, like studying the political connections and implications and the connection with cottagecore etc. It is indeed emotionally heavy for sure, and I hope you get to do that! 💜 I really loved your observations about how academic work requires a lot of compartmentalization of emotions and the very physical process of thinking, I think I forget that sometimes

@TheVintageAcademic18 күн бұрын

Yes!! It's super interesting stuff- I presented it recently and it received some really positive feedback so I'm excited to continue pursuing that research in the future. And I'll always be the first to advocate for our brains as a part of our bodies. Thinking takes so much energy! And thank you for naming compartmentalization, that's definitely the phrase I was reaching for and couldn't find lol

Thank you for this! If you don't mind me asking, could you provide more context & advice when it comes to finances, especially regarding housing & affording NYC in general? Would you consider your background to be low-income, middle-class, upper-middle-class, wealthy, or ultra-wealthy? Also, do you get financial support from your parents while in school? Additionally, what advice to you have for affording such an expensive city on a daily basis? I'd appreciate a response is as little or as much detail as you're comfortable with sharing & thanks in advance! :)

There's nothing racist about being a heterosexual, white person who believes in God and a nuclear family.

@TheVintageAcademic23 күн бұрын

Not inherently, no. But purporting it to be the correct way to exist as the foundation of nationhood is racist

@cozycodingmeg23 күн бұрын

@@TheVintageAcademic living as a white, heterosexual, Christian person who believes in a nuclear family, is in no way shape or form mutually exclusive with racism. Unless a person is harming another person or mistreating them based solely off of race. Racism is defined as having a prejudice against another race, or discriminating/antagonizing another individual based solely on their race - NOT their way of living. Deciding to be a person who has old-school values such as traditional gender roles, a home based upon a religious foundation, and homemaking are not inherently associated with just the white race. ALL races have this concept.

@TheVintageAcademic23 күн бұрын

@@cozycodingmeg but saying that it’s the right way to live and wanting everyone else to do the same can be racist. Racism is more than direct, overt, interpersonal prejudice from person to person - It’s also subtle, cultural and systematic and governmental etc etc that act to oppress people of certain skin color and/or backgrounds that we might not see on the surface. I’d also encourage you to rethink the claim that “all races have this concept” bc race and culture are not necessarily the same thing, and cultural norms about what makes up a family unit and what is expected in the household and conceptions of gender all changes from culture to culture
