[@KaelynGraceApple]

Dissertation writing QUEEN!!!! You are my inspiration atm as I work on my chapter

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Omg 🥹❤️🫶

Not me watching this video for the third time to get a cozy and inspiring vibe for todays writing endeavors 😄

Sitting here at Starbucks at 6 am watching your vlog as motivation to kick off my own early morning dissertation writing is just ... *chef's kiss*!

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Aw! I love that my vlogs get to make it into your writing process :')

[@CDNBaconBits3]

was watching the last vlog and when it ended I was bummed there was no new content for me to write my last essay of my undergrad too! About an hour or so later I have a new video to binge!!! Thank You Sarah for helping me stay sane through the last push!

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Omg this is so sweet! Thank you so much! Good luck!

As a WGS undergrad I really love hearing how you're using feminist methods in your research, as if more people keep using these methods it will add to general academic conceptions of the importance of Women & Gender Studies as a field. Hearing you talk about this also satisfies a niche that's missing on KZbin of WGS-academic vloggers, so I really appreciate it

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

This is such an excellent point! If I could go back in time, I'd minor in WGS! Thank you

[@mansoor3159]

Glad to see you back Sarah and I really really needed this vlog you are my inspiration and I wish you have a blessed week ahead 🥹🥹💗💗💗

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Thank you so much for all of your support!

[@KatieIbsen]

I love love love your vlogs Sarah! They have kept me company through writing my MA diss ♥️

[@Laurie_Chin]

Watching this as I wait for my committee to deliberate on my dissertation defense (and trying not to catastrophize!) Congrats on making progress on the diss, it is such a great feeling!

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Omg I am honored! I hope you passed! ❤️

[@Laurie_Chin]

@@SarahFischerVlogsYes, I passed with no revisions! 🎉 I was shocked because I was definitely expecting at least minor revisions. Waiting outside while the committee deliberated reminded me of your prospectus defense vlog, because I started freaking out when it took longer than 15-20 mins like “oh my gosh, I might actually fail?? 😭” But it is always much worse in our heads than reality. I so SO appreciate your vlogs getting me through the last few years of grad school. Thank you for the work that you contribute to embodied rhetoric (theory development is a HUGE undertaking that you are more than capable of accomplishing!), and I can’t wait to watch you pass your defense as well, future Dr. Fischer! 🥳 I hope you’re able to look back on these vlogs someday with pride in your growth, both personally and professionally!

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

@@Laurie_ChinCONGRATULATIONS! And thank you so much 🥹❤️

I do agree about defining the specific methodology. For instance, students throw around "narrative analysis" haphazardly as though there aren't different forms with specific constructs.

[@moriahsilvers1245]

You have me hooked on Unriddle! I don’t think I will ever write without it now

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Love to hear that!

[@EmiWoodScully]

Loved this video… So inspiring and just the boost I always need to get me moving on my dissertation! I feel like I’ve had zero motivation to do that, and too many distractions, over the last few months. I really need to cut the cycle. Anyway, so happy that your BF made a cameo! 😅

[@PatriceSharay]

I wish I could use unriddle. My professors consider any use of AI as plagiarism 🙄

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Ugh. I hate that. I could make an entire video ranting about how we need to work *with* AI instead of against it and how writing with AI is a critical literacy!

[@shaffroncity]

Hahaha my cat just ate so much grass and threw up too. Then she begs for more grass 😅

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

hahaha I ended up letting her back outside and had to watch her diligently :')
