Behind the Blog
“I hope this blog can be a space for students who are trying to piece together their ideal educational experience and chase their goals of becoming an academic weapon”
I started this blog in college with stars in my eyes and a lot of big plans. Now, as a full-time PhD student, it’s safe to say I’ve learned a lot on this journey. As a first-gen student who grew up feeling like I was navigating an alien world while applying to college on my own and then figuring out the frightening process of applying to a PhD program, I hope this blog can be a space for students who are trying to piece together their ideal educational experience and chase their goals of becoming an academic weapon (is that still a thing?). Join me on this journey as I share the highs and lows of being a first-gen student of color pursuing my dream of being an academic, and hopefully, paving a path to make it easier for those who come after me.
