PhD Candidate by day,
Blogger by night.
I’m Georga-Kay, the founder and voice behind this blog. I started Scholastic Babe in 2018 as a Tumblr blog to document my journey as a first-generation college student. Several years later, it has followed me to where I am now—a History PhD candidate at Brown University.
What began as an outlet for my love of learning has grown into a go-to resource for students navigating the often confusing world of higher ed. Whether it's how to apply to college or grad school, or even how to communicate with professors, I break down the things that seem obvious (but let’s be real—they’re totally not!).
Here, you’ll find real tips and behind-the-scenes insights to help you move through academia with confidence and ease.
Struggling to find the right CV template?
Same here. That’s why I created this one—with early-career scholars and graduate students in mind.
