I love school. I like learning and and being a student. All the things that come with being a student. I think it’s stressful, but a good kind of stress. And this fall, after 2 years of being not-a-student, I am super excited to be going back for a PhD!
The whole concept of Ikigai is based on finding your purpose, that thing you should be doing with your life. I can’t say that I have it all figured out, but I think mine revolves around education. Maybe, not in the traditional sense, but in the exchange of knowledge. Giving and receiving information. I like it. It makes me happy.
I created this category for sharing whatever new thing I find myself learning. A PhD really tops the list on the learning scale, no? And I will be here talking about this journey a lot! Maybe I should get a new category. Yeah, something specifically about grad life.
Even though I am super excited, I still expect to be on here occasionally, crying and ranting as if I was tortured and forced to apply for this program under duress, lol. Like I always say, bear with me and just enjoy the ride. I never claimed to be put together.
See ya,
Chioma.
