Day in the life of a Literature PhD 📚 📖 Dissertation Writing

A realistic day in my life working on my doctoral dissertation: some reading, some writing, some spiraling into self-doubt...

I talk all the time about the process of writing my dissertation, and my next video will be digging into the actual content of my dissertation: what my research topic is, and how I arrived at it! Let me know in the comments any questions or curiosities you have, and I'll answer them in that video.

Thanks for watching, and check me out on Instagram and TikTok if you’d like to see more of my writing, reading, and the meals I make while working from home!
