    Fun fact: the feelings you describe regarding you starting your project (and how you know they turn up at every project but still stress you out) we’re summarized in a model called the Information Seeking Process by Carol Kuhlthau. We learned about it in our first semester and it’s given me peace with those feelings ever since because I can always track where I am at in the process :D

      I know this is a 2 month old comment but I wanted to reply to say thank you! I'm working on my masters and I've been stuck at the exploration stage (i.e. confusion and doubt) for so long and I didn't know this was a thing so it helps to learn about it

    The Harvard internship is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Do not let this lockdown crisis depress you, the world has beaten tougher obstacles.
    Work hard and let nothing deter you from completing the programme. Get to know your subject backwards, paper your walls with memo notes.

    I can so relate to you with working on a thesis and studying from home. You don't talk to anyone and then get doubts if we are putting enough effort or going in the right direction with the research. Talking to people really helps to know I we are doing too much or too little. sometimes I exhaust myself thinking that I am not doing enough since there is no baseline. It really helps to see a video like this to stay grounded. Cheers to you!

    So good to see that you make time to relax even though you have stuff to finish! I'm always surprised when people in studyvlogs just keep on going and going, I feel like that gives a very unrealistic example. I also loved the chill vibe of the video! I'm going to continue writing a big paper this week after a bit of a break, and you're definately motivating me!

    I had the same thing happen with this recent project. So, I'm in my last PoliSci class for my minor. I took this professor I've never taken before, but I knew he was one of the three godfathers of the Political Science department and is fantastic. This guy is the ideal of what I hold all profs up to and I wanted to do well. Throughout the semester though, I got 70s and 75s on everything when I'm used to getting 86's. So, for our final paper, I worked furiously.
    I spent 5 weeks on it, I was eating an extra thousand calories a day because, for every 500 words you write, you burn 250 calories, I didn't work out, and my stomach was in knots. But, in my head, this paper had to be perfect. My topic started as looking at "Why does Quebec have so many S.15 charter challenges," then it became "Why does Quebec have so many pay equity S.15 charter challenges?" Then, by the end, it was, "What makes Quebec unique when it comes to pay equity charter challenges?" And, nothing really came together, it was over word count, I didn't like my writing, so on and so forth. But, I just handed it in because it's only worth 25% of my grade.

    Hey Leonie, I really resonated with what you said about not comparing yourself to others. It's something that I am struggling with right now because I am also doing my masters in Copenhagen and I constantly feel like what I am doing isn't enough and I'm not quite sure how much I enjoy my program. I really appreciate seeing your process and learning about your masters journey because it helps to clarify some of my own doubts. Love these types of study vlogs! Thanks for being a great content creator 🙏💕

So seeing videos like yours where you set yourself realistic goals and describe your real progress is so lovely. And your voice is soooo soothing. Thank you for your videos, Leonie. ❤️

I'm currently starting in a project which goal is to use multi-omics data (like RNA-sequencing data, methylation and mutation data) to study gliomas (brain tumors), also as part of my Master's thesis, so it feels like we are going through (quite similar) things together eheh.

    Great vlog! I'm actually looking into Python myself because my supervisor wants to use single cell RNA sequencing in a future experiment, which is... Completely new and really interesting but scary if you haven't done big data analysis since uni. 😅 I'm actually doing the same as you, reading and just putting it all in one big file! I'm still at that stage at the moment... I think it's a great method but the downside is that after a week of reading and nothing concrete to show it sometimes feels as if you're not really making progress.
    Good luck with your internship and I hope you share some more of these vlogs in the future!
