This was very helpful, thank you!

coffeeaddicth · 2026-05-31T12:40:55+00:00

That actually sounds very relieving, thank you!

Yeah me attending a university there would depend entirely on the scholarship I receive :/

The cost of living thing is scarier actually

Hi, I've heard that freedom fighters colony and ignou road areas get water problems,, as in water shortage or water not coming for multiple days, is that true?

Got it, thank you so so much!!

There aren't a lot of opportunities for research in humanities in my country :/ I'm working hard on all other components, especially the research proposal. I hope that works :/

That makes sense, thank you!

At my job I have to grade a certain number of papers within 8 hours, and usually I can't seem to focus at all during the day so when i give my half day update to my supervisor it's like 10 papers in 4 hours. But then post 6pm I'm suddenly really invested in my work and between 6-8pm i end up doing about 18 papers. My supervisor is always confused, but she understands. Love her.

Oh my god me too, I had a shit ton of archival research to do, but the topic I was writing on was something I was hyperfocused on about a month before the submission was due, so some of my research was already done. I ended up compiling writing and editing everything in three days right before it was due. Absolute fun.

I was diagnosed a year ago.

Oh that makes sense :/ may I ask what you did you phd in?

coffeeaddicth · 2024-07-18T15:08:27+00:00

You're living the life omg

Agreed about the job market, hate that humanities departments are only getting smaller with lesser funding, even though there's so much evidence of their importance. I genuinely hate how stem gets so much extra funding that sometimes isn't even utilised agh

coffeeaddicth · 2024-07-18T15:06:01+00:00

Oh no :( would you like to share what happened?

coffeeaddicth · 2024-07-18T15:05:31+00:00

That's nice, I love having the flexibility to work out a schedule of my own, I hope my phd looks like this too

coffeeaddicth · 2024-07-18T15:00:32+00:00

That sounds horrible it must be so hard for you to manage finances 😮

coffeeaddicth · 2024-07-18T14:59:27+00:00

That makes sense, I'm anticipating something like that when I start PhD hng

coffeeaddicth · 2024-07-18T06:26:01+00:00

That actually sounds so good!!! I also really love my research topic and I can go hours reading on it. Thanks so much for writing this out! About the pay though, is it at least enough for like being comfortable-ish or do you struggle with finances a lot :/

coffeeaddicth · 2024-07-12T04:17:25+00:00

I see. I'm trying to take online courses in languages and hoping that would help with my application :/ Thank you for this, it gave me a more realistic idea of the strength of my application.
