In this day-in-the-life vlog, I take you along for a realistic slice of my routine as a third-year Accounting PhD student at the University of Waterloo—except it’s one of those days where work and life blend together in a way that actually feels sustainable. The vibe is cozy and a little festive: I’m out exploring a Christmas market, doing some thrifting, and then ending the day with vegan Vietnamese food. It’s not a “perfect productivity” kind of video—more like how my weeks actually look when I’m trying to stay grounded while still being in PhD mode. If you’re into PhD student vlogs for the atmosphere (and the honest pacing), this one is a good reminder that you can still make time for small outings even during a busy season. I also share the kind of simple, everyday moments I lean on to reset—walking around, browsing secondhand finds, and getting a good meal. It’s a chill watch if you want something realistic, seasonal, and student-life focused without the pressure of turning every hour into a productivity sprint.
