Am I Really Happy in My PhD Program? The Truth About PhD Life in Hawaii | Vlogmas 2024 LGBT Student

Am I Really Happy in My PhD Program? The Truth About PhD Life in Hawaii | Vlogmas 2024 Aloha! 🌴 Welcome to this LGBT PhD Student Vlogmas 2024 (Day 2). This is an honest reflection on PhD life in Hawaii. An undergrad asked me if I am happy in my PhD program, so I dive deep into what happiness means as a PhD student. I share the honest truth about doing a PhD (the positives and negatives). From the time flexibility, freedom, and autonomy to the darker, uglier reality like PhD challenges and struggles…constant overwhelm, burnout, and work life balance. This is my unfiltered experience as a PhD student living in Oahu, Hawaii. Despite the PhD challenges, I find gratitude in my PhD journey and PhD life—from meeting my wife to creating unforgettable memories here in Oahu, Hawaii. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, even in Hawaii. Join us this Vlogmas 2024 for a look into the life of a PhD student in Hawaii (STEM, Marine Science, Oceanography).
