Hi!
I’m wanting to apply for a PhD in English at U of O, and I wondered if any of you had any tips? Or any PhD programs for that matter.
How did you get in? Was it difficult? Do you have any advice?
How do you like it? Is it enjoyable and do you like the people you work for/with?
Please respond if you have because I don’t know anyone who goes there because I’m not from Oregon but I desperately want to get in.
Thank you :)
Does anyone have any good trivia bars in OKC or Edmond or surrounding area? I LOVE trivia but some places are only like once a week. Thanks!
I’m getting my masters right now (F23) in Oklahoma and I want to get my PhD (in English) down the line- but that means that around the time I’d be doing it would be the “right” time biologically to start having or have kids. I never wanted kids until after but some people say have a kid during. I just want some thoughts or things you wish you had know about this. What’s it like being pregnant while getting your PhD? Do you have any advice? I really just want to hear about other people’s experiences :)
I know it sounds superficial, but I am terrified of losing my body. I find it incredibly unfair and upsetting that women are expected to snap back. And funnily enough, dad bods are acceptable even though they didn’t push out a baby.
I (23F) don’t wanna have kids until I’m probably 35. I’m going to be getting my PhD for a long time so that’s one of the reasons why. I am a little bit scared of having a harder time getting back to normal if I have kids that much later in life. Especially because I would wanna have three or four, which means I wouldn’t stop having kids until I’m closer to 40. I know it’s stupid to think about this this far in advance, but I can’t stop thinking about it
I’ve told my boyfriend that if I get pregnant, he has to be able to afford for me to have a surgery that is reconstructive if I want it. That sounds so superficial, but women are taught that they are valued for their appearance and their beauty. I hear so many people talking negatively about women that don’t snap back years after they’ve given birth.
I am very athletic and I have good motivation when it comes to losing weight. I know that your entire body changes so much. Like some peoples abs literally split apart. What should I know? What would you have told your younger self before she got pregnant ?
It sounds like a lot of people in this sub care about appearance and physical health. I’m not obsessive about my looks, I don’t have abs, but I try to stay lean and athletic. I’m not expecting anything crazy. I know that I will change in some capacity. I just don’t want to completely Look like a different person or hate myself.
