living alone in lockdown in the uk (one year later) | day in the life of an american expat

This video is in honor of the one year anniversary of a reporter from bbc breakfast finding my sad girl tweets complaining about living alone during lockdown and deciding that this was the story that needed to be told 🤪 One year later I'm still living alone and still terrible at yoga.

ah, I think I would be speaking for almost all of us when I say we all had many manyyy days of nonstop crying. it's all about coming out at the better side!

Omg Mer! I don’t know if you remember me but I’m nicole from your French class freshman year at UNC! I didn’t know you were still living in Europe! I texted you a couple months ago but I’m not sure if you kept the same number. ❤️ so glad you are still making videos :)

NICOLE OH MY GOD OF COURSE I REMEMBER YOU!! COMMENT ÇA VA BABE?? Yeah I'm still here 😂And I have a uk number so I don't receive texts from my old one, but if you still have instagram or facebook or something I'd love to hear how things are going with you ❤️either way it made my day to hear from you again 😭

What I do is I think about the Great Depression, World War II, and the Black Death. Then I think, "This is not THAT bad; it's not even a 5 on a 10-point scale of bad things in history. Does that help?

Finally a video after so long! I'm moving to Glasgow this September and I'm so worried about finding the right apartment. Are there any specific websites I should look into for flats? Thank you x

[@meredithellington934]

I'd recommend spareroom or rightmove!
