I'm currently an aerospace engineering PhD candidate. I'm also passionate about the creative arts, music, dance, fashion, beauty, health, and general wellness.
As an aerospace engineer, I've found it hard to embrace all these dimensions of myself. I've been working on finding more confidence in who I am, and I want to document my professional and personal journey on my channel. My biggest goal is to encourage all of us to pursue our passions and be our true selves. Welcome!!

Babe you seem lost
That’s pretty cool you get to go back to China so often!
I actually don't get to go back to China often at all 😓😓 I have a bunch of China vlogs from before my PhD that I am still editing and posting when I get the chance 😔 if the video is on my china study abroad playlist, then it's from before my phd lol. I am hoping to go back this year though!!
Ah, okay gotcha. lol I was wondering how you could do that as a PhD student haha
该回来了吧❤
在努力😥😥
Yeah CS compared to aerospace engineering is way easier. Aerospace yur dealing with physics and mathmatics and chemistry. Where as CS your dealing with math and CS subjects unless you have other disciplines attached
Agreed tbh, but it's all hard once you start to get more specialized 😅
This was such a great video. Thank you for sharing bits of your experience with us!
Thank you for watching!! I'm so happy you enjoyed it!!
I love your videos they are sooo realistic and fun to watch
Thank you so much for watching!! I'm so glad they're fun to watch :))))
Never stop making these videos 📸 they are so fun!!!
Ahhhh thank you for saying that!! You have no idea how much that means to me!!
Love your videos!
Ahhh thank you thank you!! Means a lot!!
Great, I think I will be in Tshingua this year too.
That's awesome!! I hope you have a great time!!
@@riverxiaoking Hopefully, I'm already crying in Computer Science.
you got this!!
Heya!!! One question, I have a bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering and I have the option of choosing masters in Aerospace Engineering or Mechanical Engineering. What you think would be beneficial. What's your perspective on this? I would love to hear from you. I'm in a dilemma. Both the programs are good with few misses. As always, love your videos.
Hi! What industry do you want to go into? If you're looking to work in the aerospace industry, I would pick doing an aero MS. If you're trying to stay in the more generalized/product-focused engineering fields, then I would pick the mechE MS. Of course, even if you pick the aero MS, you can definitely still work in other engineering fields and vice versa, but it would just be a more circuitous route. Also, what's you're funding/scholarship, location, etc. situation? If they're drastically different between both programs, I would consider that as well! Thanks for watching my videos!! Means a lot to me :)
@@riverxiaoking I'd like to keep my options wide open on industry. Yep, that's what I'm thinking. Aerospace does make indirect way with Mechanical on many industries. Now with all the Energy transition phase, I'm thinking to get into Fluid Dynamics and Heat/Mass transfer which in one way or the other does impact with others such as - Energy, Bio Engineering and Space etc. (As you know). I'm mainly choosing funded programs but with these high cost of living and tuition fees makes me to sit at home and do self study. Mind telling me what are you working on? I appreciate and thank you for your time.
If you have the option of doing a funded program, I would heavily consider that choice. Or if you can do an in-state program, or a public university, you can lower your tuition significantly that way too. I think self-study could be a good option if you already have a job you like that doesn't really require the additional degree, or if you can get the job you want without the masters. If the job you want to go for requires you to have your masters, then you would need to consider pursuing that. Also, some companies will also pay for your masters, so that could be a good option too! I am an aerospace engineer and have gone the satellite/space track :)
@@riverxiaokingHi, Yep, thinking exactly the same. By the way, you working? I mean you're an Aero grad student and I believe working with your professor for publications? Don't know how you guys work out with writing , publishing , attending conferences , teaching some classes , 3 - 5 years of commitment and most importantly studying. Keep the heads up. I don't know if I can help you in anyway, you're not short on help. But the important aspect I kept ignoring is that health and sleep during my studies. I really really really wish you the very best. As earlier, I will always love watching your videos.
Yep, I am pretty bad at taking care of my health and sleep tbh so I'm trying really hard to work on that. I'm thinking of doing a "going to bed at 10 pm challenge" or something like that bc right now I sleep so late every day

Very cool seeing all the different types of food. I love tofu too…so i hope to one day be able to try all those tofu foods
Yes I hope you get to!! The Chaoshan region is just an amazing food city in general!
She looks so much like yoora Jung
I love Yoora's vlogs!!
Starting my PhD in CS this fall, not sure if this makes me nervous or excited lol
Oh I think you'll be fine! My department is notoriously tough at my school. The cs department at my school has a way better program - I have a few cs phd friends and they can confirm their lives are much easier 😅😅
Fellow engineering student here. Love your videos
Hi!! Welcome!! I'm so glad you like them!
love your vlogs
Thank you!! Hehe I see your comment on my other video too. I'm so happy you're enjoying these :)
watching this as an aerospace engineering student in the uk is so relatable! your videos are so helpful and amazing to watch, wishing you so much luck in life (:
Yoooo I'm also aerospace :) Good luck with all your studies, and I'm glad you're enjoying these vlogs!!
I was so happy when you submitted it 😂 Love your vlogs ❤
Hahahaha awwww ❤️ I’m so glad you love them!!!
Good luck with your PhD! I quit my PhD and pivoted away from a career in academia to pursue seminary and pastoral ministry. Hopefully the PhD becomes enjoyable or leads to a career you find enjoyable.
That's so fascinating! I'm Christian as well, and it can be difficult to find that community in grad school/engineering but I'm super glad I'm starting to seek it out more actively!!
@@riverxiaoking Oh woah haha that's pretty awesome! I'm assuming you go to Stanford? I was born and raised a little south of Sacramento and was doing my PhD out at The Ohio State University. But yeah, definitely finding a small group to plug into to have fellowship is something that will enhance your wellbeing in grad school. It was probably the highlight of my time in grad school hahaha My cousin is doing her PhD at UC Irvine and is the same way. Her church small group goes to Disneyland and rides the rides like every week lol
Oh wow Disneyland every week?? That's elite 😂 My bible study group just convenes at the dining hall lol but it's been great and I've loved it!!
Sorry, new subscriber. What year are you into your PhD? Curious because I'm loving your grad school vlogs.
Yay I'm so glad you're enjoying these vlogs! I'm a 1st year but I already did my master's so my PhD will probably be shorter than the average length of direct PhD programs. I go back and forth between calling myself a 1st year vs 3rd year PhD 😅😅
Your opening intro card is really fun. Great vlogs.
I'm so glad you like it! It's a bop for sure 😂😂
Ugh! Super difficult classes just take so much out if you. But I’m so glad you asked for an extension! So many students don’t and end up turning in subpar work. As a professor, i love when students ask for extensions.
I'm glad some profs feel this way! Now that I'm PhD, I definitely advocate for myself a lot more than I used to
just stumbled across your channel ,thank you :) for letting me and others know we are not alone in the difficulties of school ♥
We are definitely not alone in the struggle with school!! You got this!!
We love engineering😉💪😂
We try our best to love it 😅😅
You are smart✨️💯thanks for your inspiring vlogs🙋♀️
You too!! Glad that my videos help!!
summer session is tough. p.s. i'm currently in the same situation and you inspire me to keep going honestly. thank you
Glad my videos are helping you through tough times! Hang in there!!
You can do this ❤❤❤
Thank you! 🥲🥲🫶🫶
Which engineering branch are you doing and nice vlog
Thank you! Aerospace engineering 😬😁
Keep pushing! I’m rooting for you! I hope you do really well in school!!! 😄
Omg thank you so much!! Hope you're doing well too!!
Which branch of engineering are you pursuing?
I'm in the aerospace engineering department!!
girl oh my god i finally found an engineering student's vlog, cause all the vlogs are mostly med! i am very much junior to you like i am in my 2nd year (gonna go after summer break)of electronics engineering and you are doing PHD so yeaaaaaaa. i am subscribing!
Yay I'm so glad you're here!! I totally get you, so much college/academic/vlog content are med school or pre-med related!
girlllll i love your videos, whish you all the best <3 <3 <3
Hii, thank you so much!!!! ❤️❤️
If there's a will there's a way. Did Richard Nixon or Regan become the president without hard work. You got this.
Lol very good point, thank you!!

RUclips recommended this while i was researching about Tsinghua, I am going to be studying there in the future(well at least i hope so). And i know this is a year old video but it's really pretty :D. And what is that music/vocal class? that looks fun ‼
Hii! Thank you! I hope you get the chance to study at Tsinghua, it was an amazing experience! I joined the choir while studying there, in the vlog that was our Sunday weekly rehearsal :)
such a great vlog! It made me miss California so much (I currently live in NYC bc I'm doing my PhD but lived in The Bay (SF/Oakland) for a decade and grew up in SoCal). Also, I totally felt that talk you had about outfits and how women are perceived in male-dominated spaces. My field is much more female oriented but for some reason, the opinions of men are still overvalued. I learned to just be myself and that not everyone will think I belong but as long as I KNOW that I belong, that's all that matters! <3
I'm new to Cali since coming here for grad school, and I love it here. But NYC is so fun too! Yeah, I'm trying really hard to stay true to myself while being in this field. And I totally feel you on their opinions being overvalued, even in female-dominated fields :/
I’m glad you did well in your class. As a 4th year PhD candidate, i do not miss those stressful nights studying or writing papers. But just remember you just have to get through this part to get to the fun part of doing your own research! Sending you the best of luck! Subscribed!
Thank you! I can't wait to finish my course requirements. Good luck with you research too!
I love how realistic you are. Being serious I am struggling with uni a lot and I am in my second semester. I never felt so lonely. But when I watch ur videos I realize that struggling is also a part of studying and that's okey. My exams are also very soon. I wish you good luck, u are doing so great. Thank you for being you 🤍
Wishing you all the best! College can be so, so hard, and I feel like no one talks about how prominent loneliness is after high school. Just keep going, it does get better ❤️🫂 Good luck with your exams!
From one River to another, you've got this queen!!! 🫶🏾🙆🏾
Ahhh hi!!! Thank you!!!
Keep it up 💪
Thanks!! 🙏🫡
