Aloha! 🌈 We are Alexus and Michi: PhD students and an international (Mexican American German) LGBT couple at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, located in Honolulu, Hawaii (Oahu). Alexus is a fourth year PhD student studying Biological Oceanography (Marine Ecology, Deep-sea Biology) and Michi is a fifth year PhD student studying Second Language Studies (Applied Linguistics, Language Teaching).
Today, we're shifting gears from the most challenging to the 5 best parts of doing a PhD! 🎓 In this video, we will talk about PhD student life and all of the things that make doing a PhD a fun, enjoyable, and valuable experience. We share some of our favorite parts such as having the ability to travel as a PhD student for conferences, the flexibility that you have as a PhD student to set your own work schedule, and the ability to do many different types of work (lab work, field work, writing, reading, etc.). We cover all of the perks of doing a PhD such as student discounts and free food. Lastly, we talk about some other benefits of doing a PhD, including other people’s impression of PhD students and the assumptions people make about PhD students. We'll share personal anecdotes and offer valuable advice for prospective or new PhD students, drawing from our own experiences in graduate school.

Hi! I would love to connect to learn more about second language studies/linguistics, I am thinking about going back to school for this and I am just starting to explore the exciting possibilities! Is IG best to connect? Would love to hear your experiences. (also my undergrad was in oceanography at UCSB so double crossover)

[@alexusandmichi]

Hey there!! That’s so cool that you’re interested in both of the topics that we study! So glad you found our videos ☺️ IG is the best way to get in touch with us, just send us a DM @michaelanu for SLS/linguistics or @alexuscazares for oceanography stuff!
