    hi friends ~ sorry this video is so long . I'm going to switch my filming schedule to try and make them shorter, which may let me upload twice a week at times !
    I spend a lot of time just . thinking . looking back (even though it was only a few days ago), I do think my anxiety made me think to deeply about a lot of things and that none of this was really necessary .. I decided to leave it in anyway, in case someone relates !
    I'm also editing a bit differently (and not really using text, since I talk so much and find the text unnecessary at this point) and will try some different styles and things over the next few videos (: I hope this video was still somewhat enjoyable, even though I'm always unsure of what people will think . anyway ! much love . see u next saturday ~

    You don't need to apologize for the long video I think we can all agree that we LOVE long vlogs from you 💕 also I completely understand the way you feel and to be honest I'm already 27, I studied and started working at hospitality cause that was my dream career but then I realized that it's actually not! I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing and there are so many important things in life that can bring us joy and happiness. Jobs are very important but they are not everything. Sending you much love ❤️

    Hi Leah, I just listened to your reflection about your career and I kind of agree. I think we all have to learn that it's not important if our job is our passion, the reason we're alive, etc.. there are (and will be) so many things that bring us joy instead of our professional careers. We're young and we will make mistakes but hopefully, we will have our friends/family to support us so I guess we'll be alright

    5:33-10:30 resonated so so much with me leah! It's like you just jumped in my mind and talked about my thoughts! You're not alone- and always remember that you've built such a beautiful and supportive community on here too! Whatever you do as long as you are happy and comfortable and know you'll be amazing at it! Sending lots of love xxx p.s your videos are just the most comforting thing ever I wish I'd found them earlier- it would have helped me through some really difficult times

      thank you so much Aaliyah 🥹 reading all these comments has made me feel so much better, knowing we are all thinking the same things but often not sharing. I'm so happy I can share things and hear what everyone thinks, it's like having loads of friends (in the most not parasocial way possible lol).
      I will keep making videos, even after uni, and hope people decide to keep watching and share their thoughts

    i think none of us really know what to do in life, we just wander around trying to find something meaningful. 3 years ago i thought studying history was my dream and now i don't think it is anymore. i'm on my last semester as well, but i will be studying literature for my masters because i think it would make me happier. you don't have to be an expert in anything to do anything, i've taken lit courses and i am an avid reader, but despite that i'm no genius! if you think art would make you satisfied, go for it! lots of love

    hey Leah! just wanted to share my story and say that i totally understand how you feel. i went to law school because I felt so pressured to become "someone important" (or what my parents/society made me believe was important), and halfway through it I realized I hated it so so much. so I got another degree and became an English teacher and it was something that made me happy for a while. i wasn't make a lot of money, and I was working insane hours, but still, I felt happy and fulfilled, I felt like I was doing something that mattered. until I got too tired and realized I'm still so young (I'm 25) and it's okay if I'm not ready to settle down and find the job I'll do for the rest of my life. it's okay if I'm not sure yet. so I'm taking two years "off" to travel abroad and work, study, travel and experience another culture. for a while I thought that people my age who were getting married, or getting really great jobs were "ahead" of me, but now I realized that I'm just taking a different path, and that's okay. after years of trying to meet other people's expectations, I'm finally ready to find what makes ME happy!

    You don't know what you don't know; sometimes it takes us doing something to realise it's not for us. This degree has transferable skills you can use should you choose to pivot careers; you have time. :) (ps. my undergrad is in Theatre and English Lit but I went back to school in my late 20s to pursue a career as a therapist ~ I would never have known this was what I wanted unless I have pursued other things that led me here).

      thank you for sharing Lyndsey!! your career path sounds interesting and definitely gives me hope that I can still explore new things ~ often I feel like the main thing I've learnt throughout this course is what I don't want to pursue .. but you're absolutely right that I've developed transferable skills (: thanks again !

    I live in Norway, and here higher education (uni) is free. I’m only in my second semester of studying law and I’ve decided to drop out. It probably sounds crazy to some. Even though I don’t have the guilt of wasting money, I definetly feel like I’ve wasted time and that I took a place from someone who would appreciate it more than me. I was never interested in law, my decision was spontaneous. However, I would be living a lie for myself and others and I find it illogical to spend three years doing something I don’t enjoy. Life goes on, things change. I’m starting a bachelor in history, something I’m passionate about. I trust you’ll end up in the right place when you pursue what you love. The ultimate goal is hapiness.

    That sincerity within your videos what makes them dear to us!! Everyone's going through the same stuff, we are just not used to communicating this part of ourselves, an important part, and rather seem like we are "perfect" when we are not. And what is more hurtful is when we are going through these, we tend to compare ourselves to other people and think "am i overthinking this?" but we're not, it's just the people that we compare ourselves to did not show what goes behind their head when they're alone. Thank you for breaking that wall of cliché, my life is perfect and i'm having the best time of my life vlogs :) Take care

    Leah, I'm currently completing a Masters as I felt I wasn't done with learning. To be completely honest, 50% of the choice was procrastinating because I didn't want the uncertainty of graduating. I'm still glad I've made this decision, but I definitely rushed into it because I felt out of control. In a way, I wish I had given myself some time to find my feet and see what I ACTUALLY want to do. Don't feel pressured into making a decision quickly. I think this feeling is a lot more common than we realise. No one likes talking about uncertainty, but it doesn't mean they're not feeling it as well. P.S your vlogs bring me so much joy, please keep doing what you're doing!!

    I relate to every little thing you said... Sometime it just feels to much. Especially when you are in your final year, there is this pressure to have your future already plan out.
    It took me a few years to understand the only person building this pressure is me. Every now and then this thought come back though but I tell myself that I'm not alone and that if I am where I am now it is for a reason.
    We are not perfect humain being, we all needs to experience thing to understand ourself.
    I hope everything will go easily for this new semester !💓💫

Since I discovered your channel, I've been receiving these peaceful, atmospheric and artsy vibes from you and that's been really good for my mental health. Thank you. I hope you eventually figure out what to do after graduation. And I sincerely hope you pursue something that you really enjoy

  • @hiraansari9001
    @hiraansari9001 Рік тому

    Leah, I completely relate to what you are saying. I focussed on sciences in high school and then spent the first two years of my undergrad in a rigorous pre-med program which I absolutely hated. I also went into science simply because I was good at it, but it was never something I loved. I am now applying to universities to study a field that interests me, and although it feels 'late', better late than never! I can't even express to you the weight lifted off of my shoulders when I decided to make the change. I hope you find whatever it is you are looking for, and that you are unafraid to take risks, as you mentioned. Best of luck with everything

    As someone who has to go to university soon and doesn't really know what to do, or feels pressure/judgement from others to pursue a certain thing, hearing what you had to say was really comforting and affirming, and you're feelings are super valid. I just know that everything will be ok for you, despite this feeling of uncertainty and the days when life feels super overwhelming. I love your videos and appreciate you so much. Congrats on being at the last stretch of uni, you're doing amazing!

    Your vlogs are so calming, honestly I needed to hear this because I’ve been struggling finding myself, and feel rather pressured about deciding my future when I’m still undecided what I enjoy. You should definitely consider group art classes, I started doing evening yoga classes to meet new people and it’s so refreshing to be around some kind faces 😊

    the 'unsure about the career and study choices' section resonated so much with me, about to graduate and I have been having the same thoughts. I sorta feel like it is all 'one specific thing' and the field I am majoring in has nothing creative or anything of personality going on, I have been contemplating starting a youtube channel or something of that sort as a creative outlet while I finish my internship to try and stay sane. have also found that it's usually never too late to make changes, the skills I am learning right now I might put to use in a different field, and I talked to some friends from uni and found out many have been going through the same thing, so I really appreciate the video!

  • @gwencaster6485
    @gwencaster6485 Рік тому

    I definitely related to what you said about university and following a path others have laid out for you. It's easy really, it requires little thinking, reflection & decision making. I realised when I was 18 that I soon would quit that part of my life I hated so much, having to go to school each day with only one friend in the building, waking up early, working for hours since the school was so hard etc., but I also realised I actually loved it because I didn't have to carve out a life for myself. University would be closer to that, but it would still be far away from actually doing a job, choosing where I'll live & work etc. I chose to study something I was good at and I liked (Linguistics & Literature in English and German) but it's becoming glaringly obvious that there's basically no jobs in that. Now I'm almost done with my master's and I might just go on to do a PhD, I'm good at academics and would get the best income I can possibly get with my degree. Yet, I would hate that outcome. I realise now is really the time to put an effort into thinking about what else I could possibly do that would actually make me happier, something that perhaps is less brainy than what was always expected of me.
    I hope you will find something to do with your problem, I see that money is a very stressful issue in the UK-education system. I'm sure you'll have thought of it already, but maybe you can check if you can study cheaply in another european country, there's some post-Brexit info here www.savethestudent.org/study-abroad/is-studying-abroad-a-cheaper-way-to-get-your-degree.html

    Leah one thing i can say is it’s so positive you’re having these thoughts and considerations now, don’t let that be something that makes you feel foolish - you’re so young and you’ve got so much time and so many options and let that excite you! I am in the same boat as you now but at 24 after doing both a degree and masters that I’m just not interested in at all anymore, and working in a corporate field that similarly doesn’t fulfil me - but we are young and you should reflect that you’ve got this foundation of a great education and now the motivation to go after what you really want! You should be so proud of yourself for thinking so broadly and considering all angles for your future 🧡

      I will ALSO add that in-response to your discussion, you're not alone in that feeling. After a year in my first job after college, doing what my degree told me I was good at, I am leaving that job for something I loved doing when I was in college and not in class: working with students. Instead of being a law "person", I am shifting to be a mentor and tutor to other students in college/uni. And I couldn't feel anymore excited and happy than I do now (I start in 2 weeks). I will be leaving an environment that gave me stress daily. Do what you love, not what your degree says you're good at.

    dear leah, thank you for being there for me through your youtube videos even though we personally do not know each other! i am about to finish my master's program with a 4 GPA but i still have no idea about my future career… some days ago, i thought that i would be much happier if i were a café employee. and this thought breaks my heart because i chose my major with great willingness, i still have so much passion for it, and i worked too much to be successful. i truly hope i'm just overwhelmed and it will be okay in the future.

    hi Leah! also a third year graduating this year with no idea what I want to do haha! I also sit and reflect about the fact I chose my degree when I didn't even really know what I wanted either... and now the things I am interested in are not possible to study :( just wanted to say you're not alone in this and it's really nice to hear someone else feel the same because everyone I know on my course has some sort of idea on what they're going to do after we graduate... wishing you the best

    I'm completely with you on this one Leah!
    I'm in my 3rd year of uni and it genuinely feels like I'm the only one who chose to major in something I have no future in. And I have no idea what I'm going to do in my life, in terms of career and just everything... It's been really scary because it feels like everyone around me has their life together and I'm the only one who's so lost☹️
    But thank you... You made me feel like I'm not alone.
    I'm so happy you exist🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️

    Hi Leah! I really resonated with your discussion about only choosing what you think you should rather than what you actually want. I'm a bit older than you (okay prob a lot) but I felt exactly the same way you did (and still do most days since graduating). But I've realised you can do a masters in practically any subject you want (I only realised this a few days ago and I am feeling like my life has opened up a lot) (yes, education and accessibility is a massive issue esp with gov cutting funding etc) but there are so many paths your degree can take you. Please don't feel like you've wasted this time - anxiety is the worst when it comes to us thinking these things. I hope you have a better week

    This happened to me years ago, I choose a career out of pressure and I ended up dropping out of Uni because I was not happy. I gotta say it took me a few years and tries to find my career but, now I’m enrolled in what I like and that’s ok. Life is different for everyone. Keep it strong I send you a bear hug 🧸

    honestly your videos are such a blessing for me i am so glad i found your channel ✨️ i am also mentally in a weird place rn i'm studying something at uni which initially wasn't my number 1 choice (english and geography as teacher's subjects) because i always wanted to do something like art and on one side i always feel such a pity that i didn't start studying arts but on the other hand i'm kind of glad i didn't??? it's so hard to explain D: especially bc i'm already in my 4th semester and just randomly changing your study course would make everything more complicated. so yeah i'm kind of torn... i have way too many interests but i can't decide on what to do so i guess for now i'll just finish this study course :')

      I am with you on the having so many interests and not knowing which to pursue. I ended up graduating with one major and two minors. I would’ve done more if I had the time to. And now I’m pursuing one of my minor studies for a graduate degree! Life is so strange. I hope you can figure out how to choose 💗

    I actually have the same thoughts as you about my life, future, career and passion… It could make me feel low and lack of control of myself, but I suppose that uncertainty itself sometimes is fascinating and makes the future kind of exciting. We should believe in our own strength, tenacity and all the possibilities on us. Btw I am a huge Murakami fan and recently I just finished Kafka on the Shore. And I love your videos so much ❤❤

    "Don't do what you think you should do, do what you want to do."
    This was very helpful to me and I really thank you for that!
    Well actually for me, I'm in my fourth year of pharmacy, same story as you, I just went to the thing that I had to, and now I'm totally not interested nor i care about it!
    But after everything I'v been through (depression, anxiety, and so many other things) I've just come to the same conclusion you said!
    It's not a life worth living to do something you don't enjoy and don't find yourself in! Because it is literally the journey, not the destination, and as I said "I'd rather fail at something than regret not doing it"
    So I decided just after graduating from uni to finally study another field and try to do something real for me!
    I hope for you to find the thing that you enjoy and to have the courage to do so!
    I love your vlogs and please don't ever feel sorry for providing us with these amazing realistic videos❤️❤️

    It's so good to hear you talk about the topic of "you not wanting your channel to become like a TV show" kind of?... Because, lately, I find it hard to engage with other youtubers and their videos. They all look the same and there was a point where I felt I was watching a Netflix show (so to speak). And what I love about your videos is that I feel like I'm watching someone's journey through life and adulthood; with all the ups and downs. And I'm so happy for every milestone you are achieving I would tell you not to worry about how you look but I'd be lying because I'm very self conscious,tbh🙈 So I understand you. BUT, even with the messy hair you look lovely😊 Have a great week!!!

    i just wanted to reply to what you’re talking about in the start of this video because i think it’s so important that you share those thoughts. i’m 23 now, and studying something that is totally up my alley. which is great, but it took me a tough road to get there. i went on to study after highschool (the same thing i study now), because that’s what everyone was doing so i just went along because i didn’t really know what else to do. i quit after 6 months because i just couldn’t do it, which is okay! it took me a while but i’m back studying now and actually enjoying it. the pressure on young adults/young students is insane. i study social work now, and the more i study and see fault in the system we have in our country (i live in the netherlands) the more i realise that i want to make a difference for the generations after me. instead of figuring out who we ware and what we want, we learn that we need to figure out a job and preferably something that you have to study something really difficult for so that you’ll end up high in the society ranks. there is a shift happening in the mentality of the newer generations which to me, is super exciting. what makes it difficult is that the world we live in is mostly run by older generations who look at life in a different way. anyways, i feel like i’m ranting but i just wanted to say that i relate to what you’re telling us in your video, and that it’s okay to not have it all figured out yet. everything happens for a reason, so look at it with a brighter perspective. it’ll all figure out in the end!

    tbh i feel a kind of similar as i am in my 2nd year but my major is too abstract and mathematical ( its econ) and i find my self tending more to psychology and arts. i feel pressure from the world and my surrounding circle to keep pursuing what the market asks for in regards to job. but all i want is to have a cozy home, wake up early feeling calm and happy, read and write about what i like and paint until i sleep. Now, i decided i will just aim to finish my degree and then if i find a job i will try it out, if not then i will just go with the flow.

    Hi Leah! I know exactly how it feels like to be studying something that one isn't particularly interested in. I took up Laboratory Sciences in uni. But I've always loved the music and the arts. I excelled greatly in both of those fields. I was offered a college scholarship via classical/chorale singing to be in architecture or fine arts. It was a dream come true because I worked so hard to hone my skills in both fields for so many years. But my family was against it. They expressed that it wouldn't be a lucrative career and that I should become a doctor instead. I got my degree for pre-med 2018. I passed my board exam the same year but couldn't get a license for laboratory sciences yet as I was only 20 years old that time. And in my country, you needed to be 21 to get licensed. I helped our family start a business during my gap year after uni and I had learned so many skills which I never would have if I had followed any of the paths I previously took. It was very hard. But the skills I learned prepared me for bigger things in the future. I was able to have more time enhancing my skills in music and art as I was privileged enough to have flexible working days. And on top of that, I slowly started to learn about running a business and the challenges that come along with it, which is an important skill that branches many other skills. I believe that taking the opportunities that are presented to us in the moment will always lead us to where we really are supposed to be. Life will always have enough knowledge to give us along the way. It is never too late to pursue or learn anything. And everything that we have experienced in life, bad or good, will culminate to who we really need to be. We're blank canvases ready to be painted with endless possibilities.
