Life Update | 3rd Yr Yale History PhD @ Yale | Dating, What I'm Reading, Research Plan, etc.

[@bibichelangelo]

I'm so glad you're feeling comfortable with your content again! Personally, I think academics can sometimes feel isolated or lonely since our experiences are so unique and specific but watching your videos gives me the reassurance that someone else is going through similar things when it comes to historical research and academic life, and that's so important to me. Thank you for the company and all the effort you put into this, it never goes unnoticed

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thank you so much

[@ImanZaineb]

Yesterday, a friend posted on her FB, “when you find something you admire in someone, you’ve already begun acquiring that thing you appreciate.” So, this is why I tune in: to learn and adopt more to help me grow and prepare for the very thing I follow the channel for- academic excellence. You inspire that. 🙂

[@amys2168]

I really hope you keep the channel since I only just found it! Life events interrupted my PhD program and now I'm trying to re-enter the program. I find your videos incredibly motivating as you are honest about both your ups and downs. I appreciate that you don't sugar coat everything and are honest that you're not 100% motivated all the time, but you manage to push forward any way. You remind me that I have the ability to be resilient as well. I also find it useful to see how another student hones their skills in writing, research, etc. Most often we don't talk about the technical know-how of writing, researching, and active reading. It's nice to get some tips to improve the process! Good Luck in your up-coming research trip!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

I have no plans of stopping

[@HollyJaneYT]

Kaelyn, I LOVED this vlog. You continue to inspire me as a "scholarpreneur", and I'm so excited for you and all of the wonderful things you have upcoming. I'm loving all the research updates, especially, so please feel free to share more of your PhD research project as it progresses.

[@amandanaseri]

You do you girl! The viewers that are truly with you in this journey will love anything you post. One of the things I love about your videos is just learning more about you! You have a lovely heart and are so passionate about what you study. It's truly refreshing. We watch you because you're different than other creators, keep doing what you love!

[@janalewis3030]

I love watching your channel and learn so much. I am starting to research the possibility of getting a MA in a few years (after my son graduates from HS) and love the videos you post. I love seeing New Haven (and Moo!). Your education is changing and it's great to see what to expect. I've also mentioned several things to my daughter, who starts college this fall, so she can see how some things can be done. It is great to be able to give her some ideas as her degree will take a while. You have every right to privacy and if people demand certain videos from you, then they can pay you a monthly salary to create those videos! :) Ha, ha, ha! I can't wait to see England when you get back there. I am hoping to get to Europe in a few years, as well. Always learning, always looking at the past to remind me that all is not lost - humans have survived a lot and we can survive what we're going through now. Have a great week and good luck with your research!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thank you Jana for this thoughtful and kind message

[@astudyofrose5686]

Kaelyn I’m just so impressed that you are able to run such a successful KZbin channel alongside your PhD! It’s no small task and you should be so proud. People are becoming increasingly demanding as a society and need to realise content is not dictated by them, it is a privilege to have content creators share so much of their lives and offer FREE education tools and advice. Keep making the kind of videos YOU want to and the followers who truly support you will understand. Xx

[@annabellecane7956]

Hey Kaelyn, I really loved the style of this vlog too! When you love the videos you make, it really shows!! Just watching your day to day as a PhD student is relatable, and hearing your outlook on it is so inspiring. It made me so sad to hear about your followers leaving hate and being demanding. Please keep making the content that YOU love. We can feel your passion through it :)

[@KaelynGraceApple]

This truly means so much to me! Thank you!!!

[@emmajones3991]

I have been finding myself being more productive because of your content regardless whether it’s just a study with me or vlog. I’m only finishing up my bachelors but your content is really connectable to business majors who are interested in getting their masters degrees too.

[@peerreviewed]

This was such a great vlog, and I'm so glad to hear you're finding your way back out of the weeds with KZbin. You're definitely one of those comfort KZbinrs for me, your vlogs especially, but like you said it never once occured to contact you about getting more of them. Like we're all busy, and quite frankly you owe random people on the internet nothing at all 🤷🏼‍♀️ I know sometimes it seems like the demands and hate comments are a bit part of the audience, but remember that there's a whole lot of people like me just tuning in in silence and enjoying your presence whenever you pop up in our sub boxes!

[@sosweetss57]

Setting boundaries as a creator is so necessary and I love to see it! Watching your journey has always been encouraging to my own, as I try to figure out who I am, what I want, and what I want my work in life to be. I love your content and this video was definitely amazing! Keep doing you and I can't wait to see the rest of your journey play out

[@jenniferliston3623]

I just stumbled upon your KZbin channel today while I was looking for videos about Yale and I’m already so intrigued and interested in your content and business. I graduated undergrad in Dec and moved up to New Haven to start a clinical research position for the school of medicine at Yale and I have only been here for a little over a month and am still getting settled in and trying to get acclimated to my new environment and job. I find your videos very comforting because I don’t exactly know the path I want to go down in terms of career and grad school yet but to see a woman as driven and passionate as yourself inspires me on so many levels. Will definitely be subscribing and following you along your journey!

[@cliffer6715]

I kind of feel you with dating, I always felt like when I am interested in dating it needs to be someone who has a passion in something in their lives, not involving a relationship. I think those people tend to just be outwardly attractive personality wise

[@marywong9976]

TOTALLY AGREE ABOUT CONTENT PRODUCERS HAVING THE RIGHT TO PRODUCE WHAT THEY WANT. It's so sad when viewers begin to feel entitled about the content they are seeing on the channel. Just rly wanted to thank you for the inspiration and motivation you provide in every video. Just seeing u go about ur day with the passion for learning, for helping others with ur business---it's such a huge motivation for those of us who may not be pursuing postgrads but are passionate about the work we do 😀😀

[@HxcJinx]

I started following you for academics specifically and as I was prepping for graduate school, but I enjoy both academic-based and daily/week vlogs. I am subscribed so I figure that when you post - I will watch but I guess I don’t expect it from you because you’re human. I hope that people will understand that it’s okay to be excited and eager to see and be included but sometimes you just need to go dark and relax or do whatever else. I can’t wait to see/hear about the Summer research trip but that’s also because I’m in my Masters in Archiving so I get quite excited! Unrelated but - I also feel you about dating. I’ve been on a handful of dates over the last few years and only one was interesting and passionate about his career, hobbies, and life in general. Everyone else has been absolute cardboard or we just don’t mesh at all.

[@madeleinechill3655]

I love your videos SO much and get so much out of them. AND - this channel is yours, and anyone who messages you demanding x or y content.... should just go make it themselves. Or at the very least not harangue you about it. How bizarre. You don't owe your viewers specific videos. No one has to be here if they don't want to! There are lots of creators whose content I watch even though I don't relate to them, I'm not in the same life phase, etc., just because I enjoy the genuine way they communicate and I like seeing the way different people live. But I digress. Looking forward to whatever content you want to post going forward! Loved this video!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I always say that a true fan always waits and understands (at some level) what the creator is going through.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

I appreciate that

[@rebekahstergar2383]

Love that you are making YOU happy. I hope you are able to filter out the unsupportive comments! (Maybe a moderator?)

[@SabrinaScience8]

I'm glad you stood your ground about your boundaries for your blog. I'm in my fourth year of my doctorate in biomedical sciences and I know life gets pretty crazy during a PhD and I really appreciate what you can share and the advice you give. Good Luck as you enter into your next year of the program!

[@charleenealvarez6871]

Congrats on heading to your 3rd year of your PhD journey!!! 💯🥳 You inspired me to go to community college, because I'm also starting my undergrad journey this fall. I haven't heard of these books you mentioned before in the vlog, I'll check them out. It just takes me in a different world, and new experiences when reading books. 🙂

[@vmsingh8]

Hi Kaelyn! Thanks for opening up so much in the past few vlogs. It’s been interesting to hear your reflections. I’ve been following you for a while and your content has helped me so much in feeling less alone while I’ve been working on my MA. Thankfully I graduate in August, but it has been tough on weekends seeing everyone go out and about and live their best life, while I’m at my desk doing homework all weekend. I also work full time, so that adds another layer to it, but I’m glad I had someone who I knew was also doing homework and working on their education. Thanks for your content!

[@michelleblair506]

Hey. I have been watching for a while - but this is my first comment here. Just letting you know: the details of your research process and your authenticity made this my favorite video from you so far. From what I know about you and the content you put out, this channel is a service - a service to your audience and a service to yourself. I hope the channel continues to inspire others and you. And… Thank you. Fellow PhD student

[@KaelynGraceApple]

This comment truly means a lot to me! Thank you so much for your encouragement

[@racheldebasitis8184]

Moooooo!!! I love hearing your perspective on why you're doing what you're doing, and how you approach it. You're so much more analytical than I - I'm learning a lot from you. :)

[@LamisE2012]

I’ve been watching since you were still at Oxford and it’s super cool to see how far you’ve come and how Accepted has come

[@PevarAvel]

I am glad that you are in a very good mental place these days and that you are proud of everything you are doing, from business to PhD. Please please please, try to not care too much about these greedy comments and keep your schedule, everything you’re producing is perfect like it is 😍

[@assailedloner7044]

Congrats on making so much progress on all the things. Keep hanging in there, keep being awesome, and keep doing your thing. =)

[@jamieraintree]

Just sending some love to let you know how much I appreciate you and how much you inspire me-not in a general way, but in a very practical way where I go to your channel to remind myself of what I want and what I’m working so hard for. I appreciate you! Also, smart choice on waiting for someone who is excited about their life. That really makes a big difference in the long run, especially for someone as driven as you. If you ever want a friend in Colorado… 😊❤️❤️

[@dazzlingchick]

Kaelyn, I am glad to see you doing so well. I love all your content. I am sorry that you have had to deal with any negativity or those that cross boundaries which I will never understand. Your hair looks beautiful curled at the end of the video btw. Love to Miss Moo. Continued Blessings and Support. ~Love&Light♥️Carli

[@lindseyflax941]

I am so excited for you and the upcoming trip. You should feel proud of this milestone in your PhD. Do not feel pressured to always pick up the camera. Enjoy the little moments on and off the camera, time will fly by. Thank you for inspiring us even for those of us who are not pursuing a PhD program. You have certainly transformed this community and I always look forward to new projects/content you produce! Thank you always.

[@alexworrall6283]

Thank you for your content. I’m glad you’re feeling better about making it again. Your videos have been immensely helpful for me on my academic pursuits through undergrad, and (hopefully) into graduate school

[@rcoleman1116]

You are amazing Kaelyn!!! Your channel has been so helpful to me in my academic career (even though I am only a rising sophomore in college) and have so much respect and appreciation for the effort you put into what you do. On a side note, if you ever need a dog sitter, I will literally drive from Washington D.C right now, even though it would probably cost me my job!

[@rosy.rambles]

I just want to add to all the positive comments. This was such a delightful video. I loved hearing all about your archive trips; how exciting that you get to do Westminster as well as all the others. There’s a little book called “The Allure of the Archive” by Arlette Farge (I think that’s the right author) which is all about the Bastile archive and it’s just such a fun, fascinating look at archival research. Anyway, I really appreciate your content and thank you for sharing.

It keeps everything fresh and I feel like it really comes across that you enjoy trying different things with your content.
