hi, i’m dean (like a college dean) and welcome to my little corner of the internet! I recently graduated and moved to New York City, where I work in tech consulting and go on side quests like learning how to shuffle.

THE FIT TRANSITION i'm obsessed. Fav comfort vlogger <3
thanks for stopping by queen!! my fav creator PERIOD
This was so wholesome and beautiful! ✨🥹 I get the entire, ‘being in your twenties’ cause you want to do so much, feel so much, achieve so much as you never know what tomorrow holds, and let me tell you, you have done so much, achieved so much, given so much that we are honoured to have this, to have you. Yes, there might be a long way to go but you’re pretty incredible even now. 🫂 Thank you for this!
Aw Yamini you make my heart melt! Thank you for all your positivity and light, I always look forward to hearing your thoughts 💖
omg I love illenium songs
same! i mostly went for illenium lol but the overall lineup was solid
when the world (me. I’m the world) needed her the most she returned.
hope you’ve been well!! appreciate u sticking around through my irregular posting schedule gaha
Thanks for the tips I'm actually in a less developed country were we don't know much technology but I'll try to make it
Hey Leticia! All the best, I believe in you 💪
promo sm 😕
You always have something important to say That line of you " That we touch more lives than we think" really is great and in same way you also touched many lives ... It's great to have a senior like you to look upto ourselves life after some year . (Lastly I just wanna add you are always doing great as always 💫)
Thank you Swasti! This means a lot, I hope you are doing well 🥰
Yes sister 🤗
hi dean!! currently going through the one year post-grad life and it is a weird period.. but i love how you are talking about it. i definitely relate to what you said about being intentional with recharging on the weekends. it’s like you want to have plans but not any that are too draining. 😭 hope you are doing well and i’m super jealous you’re living in nyc!! 🩵
brooke!! so good to hear from you, hope you’re doing well after grad too 💕 i really feel the struggle with weekends in nyc because there’s so much to do lol. but if you’re ever in the city and down to hang out, let’s plan something :)
I've been back to my college town every year for 3 years now (brother goes there, I help him move in). It's a weird feeling when you go there and see everything look so familiar but all of your friends have moved on. Makes you realize maybe that you don't miss college but you miss the place that fostered your community. Love this video Dean!
Hey Evan! You’re spot on - it’s the people that make college special, and other life experiences too. I know summer’22 wouldn’t have been as fun without our Bachelorette watch parties haha. We need to catch up!
DEAN FAN CLUB STILL EATINGGG LETTSSS GOOO
IM SO GLAD I CAUGHT U!! it's been a long time coming
Life doesn't get easier on its own. it only gets easier if you work in the right habits now! Glad to see that you're doing well for yourself psis!
Spitting facts pbro! Let's work hard and thrive this year
The video I needed, thank you!
Thank YOU for being here! I'm glad it resonated :)
Dean I really love your story telling & transitions! It was fun to see you teaching your friends to shuffle, always spreading smiles :) you’re doing it & as time goes on you’ll find more ways to fill your day with what makes you feel fulfilled in yourself, they might be small but beautiful. Keep it up 🦋🫶 life moves so fast with a routine but we find ways to slow it down and be present, friendship and connections with loved ones has been the most special for me. Your video warmed my heart and motives me to keep that balance as well 😌
Karleen!! Thank you for stopping by, your note means everything - you're the first person I think of when it comes to finding balance, and I hope 2024 brings even more opportunities for us to grow 💞
this was so bittersweet. year 1 post-grad is such a huge transition, but it’s nice to know that we’re all going through the same experiences and will learn and grow with time :’)
thank you maryann! ya it's a bumpy journey, but at least we're in the same boat and rowing ahead 💓
Ya work life is just diff, I feel its not something u truly understand without going through it
Trial by fire fr, i'm just glad we're in this together 💪
awesome video!
thank you william! i'm just finding out that you have geckos?!
@@deansodium hehe geckos and frogs they’re my babies. and now my babies have babies! so i’m a v happy grandpa

@@deansodium wellp ur videos can help me imagine what it can b like post grad 🥲
Can’t wait for your next video!!! Hope life is treating you well too Dean :))
thank u darell!! happy 2024 🎉
I love this so much. Have been watching it in chunks due to college commitments and a hectic schedule, but finally finished today. Thank you for unintended book recommendations, I enjoy it thoroughly. It feels so good to see you work, travel, have fun, along with taking out some time for yourself. ✨ Waiting eagerly for more wholesome, therapeutic videos. 🥹
Love you Yamini! I hope school gets less hectic for you this semester, thanks for making time for me in your busy schedule ☺️
love your vlogs, I feel like I’m catching up with you through them :)

Thank you again Deanna. You are the reason I actually got excited about college and 4 years later you are inspiring to be excited about working. Well done and thank you!
You are too kind! I'm glad to've played a part in your excitement for college and work, and hope you have the best time at each stage ❤
Your enunciations are treat to my ears! Loved the video❤
Thank you Akshita! You are so kind 🥰
can you make a video on how to decide what to do in your life after highschool...
this is such a great question, I’ll def plan to make one!
🔥🔥🔥
thanks jasp ☺️☺️
if only we could have these videos every other week. free therapy for real. 🥹 we would definitely want a separate video on how tech consulting has helped you work out of your comfort zone. 🤍 I hope you're taking care of yourself. moving to nyc, doing the most to make yourself feel good, and delivering day after day can be a task. sending lots of good health, happiness and peace your way. do take atleast 15 minutes a day to walk by yourself or do any other activity which allows you to unfold your thoughts and relax a bit. you ARE the main character! 🥳
okay yamini with the most encouraging words 🥹 glad to hear you’d want to see a vid on tech consulting, that’s something I’ll def get working on! Hope you are thriving as well ❤️
another great vlog !
thank u Krish!! ☺️
hope you can get some good rest on your vacay bbg #deserve #restisforqueens #deanisaqueenbtw
