In this POV day-in-the-life, I’m taking you through what a regular day looks like for me as a third-year accounting PhD student in Canada at the University of Waterloo. If you’re curious about what “PhD life” actually feels like day to day (not the romanticized version), this is my attempt to show the realistic rhythm—how I structure my time, what I prioritize, and how I keep things moving even when research is slow or messy. This video is in the same lane as my week-in-my-life vlogs and study sessions: a grounded look at studying, research, and the little routines that keep me sane. I also share the behind-the-scenes side of filming my PhD content—what I use to shoot and why—so if you’re a student thinking about starting YouTube or just like the “desk setup / study with me” vibe, you’ll feel at home here. The big takeaway is that consistency matters more than intensity: I try to show up, do the work, and let the progress compound over time.
