I think that your self-awareness of being just a girl at the end of the day, with human limitations and all, it's what makes me want to watch every step of your journey. Yes, I love the PhD content being a school girlie myself, but I follow you specifically BECAUSE you are an inspiration in every wayyyy. Keep going!!!!
What I love about you is that you are normal friendly human being and act like one. I am fed up with the social media (tiktok, insta) washed "influencers" that all talk, behave and make content in the same way. You achieved a lot already all by yourself and what is most important - you stay down to earth, you dont look down on people, you are not arrogant (like some people tend to be)! I would genuinely watch your videos just for the vibe and warmth you radiate. It is comforting to see a human in our (sometimes very dry and unfriendly) academic world 💗 PS i love when you talk to us in that pink bath robe (i hope its a bath robe :D)
I’m glad you raised your insecurity about your skin. I too am currently going through this phase, although for more than 6 years now. It sucks because I feel like I’ve diminished my potential by giving it much attention than I should have given it. I’m a huge scholar- often times, my insecurities sucks the motivation out of me to study. Now imagining what I could have achieved had I not buried myself in my insecurities. Truth is, it sucks, but you can always fix your skin or somewhat improve it , but you can never get the opportunities back!
Vee, I don't watch you because I see you as an influencer who needs to look a certain way or present a certain quality of content, whether that's in terms of actual video file quality or in terms of editing or even in terms of video format. I watch you because I enjoy seeing your day to day life. You are, objectively, a high flier. Even if you quit everything right this second you have still achieved so much. You never see the day to day behind people in similar boats as you. I'm doing a masters degree now. You don't see the day to days behind the postdocs and professors who supervise you whilst you're in academia, and it can feel like I'm going insane sometimes thinking that everyone who is a high flier is being/has been hyperproductive and is keeping up with workloads effortlessly etc. You keep it real. Your content is reassuring and inspirational, even when it's just chatty stuff like this. I don't want to be cliche and say "there's no need to feel insecure", as true as that is, cause my point is what you put out is more than enough!! And if you do step away from youtube someday, then you've still made such an impact on thousands of people's mindsets - and not a single person will look back and think "ew she filmed videos on her phone" or "her skin wasnt clear". Do what makes you happy, do what excites you, and do what is conducive to you living a happy life in the present moment.
Also, girl, you had one hell of a year last year. From what you shared publicly, there were loads of ups and downs that would leave the average person reeling, and needing a good break to recover. I'm talking several months to fully get over the whiplash. You have pushed through and keep pushing through. I think what you're feeling now could be considered exhaustion. You are allowed to be exhausted. You are allowed to put a pause on your passions and go on what I'd call "battery efficiency mode" - just focusing on the things that need to get done and staying in bed the rest of the time. Recently I quit all my part time work and side projects, and it feels weird going against the side of myself that equates productivity with self worth. I'm unsure if you feel the same sometimes, but remember the biggest thing you're responsible for is yourself. Don't neglect her of rest!
Girl I’m totally in the same boat, I’m a 2nd year PhD constantly feeling like I’m not doing enough and now my health is also bothering me a lot, especially my skin and I probably have PCOS but I need to wait another month to see a doctor 😅 but hey we’re gonna get through it! It’s always helpful to me to hear you’re not alone with stuff
hey Vee! I don't usually comment, but I just had to say a big thanku :)💐💐 I finished my master's (results came yesterday!) and I really don't know how I would've done it without ur videos. I would put them when I was doing assignments, especially when still trying to finish them in the am 😂 so glad you're still making vids💛
Veee ure literally the only vlogger I watch! You’re such an inspiration I’m moving from Zimbabwe and starting my phd in a few months and uve played a huge role. Please don’t quit RUclips.
Phone quality is great! I watch your videos to see what you are up to, not to scrutinize your videography! If it was all grainy and stuff that would be another story, but phone video is pretty good these days. Good enough is good enough, there is no need to have the Best Possible Quality simply because it's out there! So if it helps RUclips feel more sustainable just film on your phone
You are gorgeous and beautiful Vee never doubt yourself ok you are so inspiring and amazing I love you so much you have accomplished so much can’t wait to see what you do in 2025
you actually look beautiful; girllll l had breakouts but l was like nahhh l won't stress about my skin anymore surprisingly everything cleared up quick quick😂
Third video in two weeks what is happening Dr. Vee!!!
It’s that 2025 energy!! If you keep coming back , I’ll keep uploading !! Let’s goooo
