the adventures of vic
Hiiiii, I’m Vic! 👋🏼
I’m a 25-year-old PhD student in Political Science, navigating academia, research, and life as a first-generation scholar. Originally from Toronto, I document my journey through grad school, productivity, travel, and the little joys of everyday life.
Here, you’ll find:
📚 PhD & Grad School Vlogs – A real look into academia and research.
📝 Study & Productivity Tips – Time management, Notion setups, and focus hacks.
🌍 Life Beyond the Books – Travel, personal growth, and embracing the “main character” energy.
If you love deep conversations, personal growth, and romanticizing the mundane, you’ve found the right place. Join the community—there’s so much more to come!
