About This Video

This video is the final chapter of my comp exam chronicles (!!!) — the day I found out my Major Field Exam results at the University of Toronto… and yes, I passed. I take you with me across campus and do a little visual walkthrough of the whole experience: the room where I wrote, the study spots I lived in, and the places where I fully panicked and then somehow kept going anyway. It’s a results vlog, but it’s also very much a “what did this season do to my brain and my heart” kind of reflection. I share what it was like to open my MFE results and what I actually felt in the moment — not the polished version, the real one. I talk about expectations, imposter syndrome, and that weird mix of exhaustion + relief + disbelief that comes when something you’ve been bracing for is finally over. More than anything, I wanted this to feel like closure: calm campus vibes, honest thoughts, and a reminder that surviving academia sometimes looks like taking it one step at a time. If you’re in your own exam era, I’m rooting for you. Always.
