Monica, I’m almost old enough to be your grandma. I watch you because I want to keep in touch with young people. What a great representative of your generation you are. My biggest mistake? Not believing in myself soon enough.
I absolutely enjoyed this. I know I'm not the first to say this but it would be amazing if you could give us some insight on how you manage your money/whether or not you budget. You seem to make smart financial decisions!
Wow Monica... I learned so much for every single mistake that you said..... this helped me a lot.... thank youu Monica,this is an amazing and I genuinely loved it!
I can totally relate to the whole “I want to get out of my hometown” thing because I myself have said some horrible things about the people who want to stay in my crappy town and yeah I’ve definitely been put in my place
Thanks for making this video Monica, it was lovely to see you reflect on mistakes you've made in that past. It's really wonderful to see how much you've grown since then. Your videos always make me smile, thanks for being such a positive influence on so many people, including myself.
Okay, why is Monica such a real, perfectly imperfect human being. You are honestly goals on how I want to be around my 20s, and you've matured so much over the last few months. I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU MONICA. IT'S AWESOME TO SEE YOU'VE FOUND YOUR HAPPINESS IN THIS WORLD!
Monica I just want to say I really really loved this video. I felt like you were sitting down in front of me and giving me advice. I like the sit down style a lot ❤️ Also definitely relate to #5 because I do that too, definitely changed my perspective, thanks
Even though it may be different now, you can always go to college later when you are ready. The experience is worth it. Regardless of how old you are. :)
I have to agree with your college mistake. I went to a jc and have been stuck there for a very long time. If I had choose to go straight to a 4 year I would not have this problem. Great video as always Monica.
bmartens1390 this comment is so hurtful because 10+ people have thumbs-ed it up, and it received a heart. Listen, just because community college didn’t work out for you, that doesn’t mean jc ducks&doesn’t lead to success. 4 years don’t guarantee anything either! Don’t blame your lack of action on jc, don’t be-little jc.
Haley you don’t know anything about my life or my schooling just by one comment I made. FYI I was only able to go to school for 4 years until I was required to go to work full time. So if I had gone to a 4 year right out of high school I would be done.
bmartens1390 ok sorry about that, but just for the record- you can’t blame me for reacting the way I did. Your first comment really did make it sound like you thought one couldn’t finish and transfer out of jc within 2 years, to a 4 year to finish the remaining 2.
Haley realistically now it is extremely hard to transfer with in 2 years where I live because it is different to get in to the classes that are needed. Thank you and good luck to you in your life.
My mistake was getting attached to someone so much. Never let love take over you so much and be prepared to never expect to it last forever. I love someone and for the first half year we were good together, but then 2018 started and they completed changed. They rarely talk to me now, I kept trying to talk to them but I just gave up. We only say a word or 2 a day, or not even.
I loved this Monica! You're so wise and I agree with all of this. I used to look down on people who never left my hometown when in reality it's always what they wanted... it's just not what I wanted! How silly of me. After moving away and living on my own for 2 years I can totally see why someone would want to stay. Moving away is hard!
Number three hit close to home - I really enjoyed hearing about which mistakes you've made and how you learned from them :) Thanks for the great content!
Damn number 3 hit me hard im inone of those situations right now hearing you talk about it helps I think I'm going to break things off with the guy tonight
I was one of those people that called you out on your video from a few weeks ago. So glad that I stuck with you and that you sincerely feel sorry for what you said. I've been a viewer for a long time and I love watching everything that you post. Thanks for owning up to your mistakes, you really are maturing so much Monica!
Monica I just want you to know that you are someone that i look up to so much, you have such a good attitude towards life and the hardships it brings. You make me think differently and im a very stubborn person so thank you! Lol you are truthfully a beautiful human being! And thank you for that.
I really love and appreciate your vlogs! I don’t want to sound cheesy but you are the person I aspire to be. I have been going things in my life like all people do and your happy, go lucky personality has been a breathe of fresh air! You remind me of myself in a happier state. Keep living your life and doing what you can while you can! I’m also PNW born! Thank you!
One regret I have was actually college in a way. I spent 5 years there thinking I finally found what I wanted to do (being a writer), but years after college, I am a film actor and although I do writing on the side, acting I feel is my true passion. I definitely got the college experience but had so many weekends I didn't go out or have fun because I was overworking on something I wouldn't end up doing the rest of my life lol
As someone currently experiencing number 3, your insight and advice really struck a chord with me. Thank you so so much, and I hope you keep up this kind of content! (:
I'm 100% with you on the hometown thing a lot of us realize the opportunities and "bigger" things in this world than the place you grew up in. I can also so see that someone else's hometown might be my dream place in my hometown might be someone else's dream place. Although I wasn't offended by what you said I guess I can see how other people are. But I'm 100% with you still I'm ready to pursue something bigger than just being in my hometown getting a regular job when there are so many opportunities all over this country.
i just wanna say i am really happy you made this and shared it with us, because concerning your statement of the hometown and the people getting angry about that, i have had sooo many similar experiences, and im happy to see one of my favorite vloggers has made the same mistakes too its just so nice knowing i wasnt the only one embarrassed.
I really really liked this video. I don’t normally comment but I felt the need to with this video. It is so personal and relatable to a wide variety of people. Well done Monica!
So proud of you, especially for the last thing you said because it takes a mature, humble person to admit a mistake, especially on the internet! I rememver when you said that and I thought "whoa that's kinda harsh, I disagree" but I didnt say anything.. I'm glad people told you their hobest opinion :) i love your vids mon!
Love the video, I saw the little "missing file" and went IT HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME!! I spend forever on a video and export it, upload it and ughh a clip is missing. Sucks soo bad. Also nice to know I'm not the only one who has these editing messups 😂😂. Really motivatig, just as the rest of the video💕💕
I wouldn't say not going to college was a mistake. I went to college for 2 years before I decided it wasn't for me... And now I have to finish because I'm so invested... You definitely made the right decision
the top biggest mistakes I made were getting into alcohol and allowing myself to get addicted to cigarettes. You shouldn't feel embarrassed for your mistakes, thats growing up. I grew up a gymnast as well, was one for 9 years, but once I stopped and got into a bad place, I let music help me. Now i'm going to school for music therapy and am looking to influence others as you do. Lets get it!!
I remember watching the vid of you crying in the car and being like “yeah girl, I understand, I won’t do that,” but then I did the same thing! But that’s a mistake everyone has to learn on their own.
I’ve been watching your vlog channel for so long and this is the first main channel video I’ve seen in a long time and wowzers its so different! I love both your channels so much but you’re different in both channels. Beautiful video
I know I am late but the last one is also similar to what I did ,I did not judge people but I judged my country for it not being well facilitied like other countries . I will learn from it.
Totally agree with you on #5 (last one). I use to do that to - the, "if your area''s of interests/job/hobby are not the same as mine you're a total loser". I was young dumb and immature at that point to, but getting to know that you're wrong about this comes more from life experiences and maturity. When we're young we're so focused on developing our careers and finding out who we are we think that is what the world is about and revolves around. Then you start figuring stuff out and you let other stuff in - interests, reading, etc. You discover the world is filled with all types of fascinating things, people, and experience and you learn to really appreciate them (even if they aren't your favorite thing in the world you still see them as kind of cool and interesting (or at least acknowledge others like them). Disagree with you a bit on the college thing - the Greek life/fraternity thing isn't that big of a deal when you look back at at (at least I don't think so). If you thing college can make you smarter and grow you as a person you should definitely go. Yeah, the partying at this point in your life may not be fun or even an experience for you but learning stuff that you are genuinely passionate about will change you and make you a more fulfilled person. Thanks for the video - hope all is well.
Thank you for admitting to your hometown comment. It hit close for me because I live an hour south from your hometown (which if I told you, you’d think it was even more “loser” 😭) after 10+ years living in Seattle area. I traded hours of sitting on public transportation and driving in traffic for more time with my family and a spacious property. I did enjoy my time in Seattle but if you don’t live right in the middle of the city you are losing a lot of time. When my time was my own it was much more fun. 😉 Enjoy it!
Very nice video vloog Monica love your vlog style you are so pretty i know the the situations very good Monica Thank you so much, Monica love greetings from Germany and i understand you very i must lern this too
i remember seeing that vlog about what you said in the town, you know i am so sorry that happened, i agreed with you on that too! sorry that so much got wrong
My mistakes? 1) being too trusting to strangers (not since feburary because of a shitty incident which i hope has passed) 2) not believing in myself 3) not being assertive 4) not knowing how to get around because of always having a book in my face 5) not "stopping and smelling the roses"
One time, I got really insensitive and said some horrible things about vendors which are meant as a joke while I'm in a marketplace (which is very stupid of me). A vendor overheard me and scolded me in an angry but caring kind of way. I was really mad and ashamed of myself for thinking that way about vendors. So yeah, being mad and ashamed of yourself for doing the wrong thing is a good thing because you know that you're wrong and you're pretty sure that you'll never do that mistake EVER again.
Number 1 is me but I choose not to go to college because of college debt. I don't want to work longer than expected to pay off my student loans. Plus I would be an undeclared major and I believe going to college is meant for people who really needs the degree for their job such as medical, engineers, etc.
This makes me feel more connected to you and like you’re my big sister lol its all relevant to my life mainly point four and five :) thanks hahaa it’s good advice lets hope I learn from ur mistakes
You are a amazing person! IMHO, the reasion people go to college is to become accredited and that credentialing lets them get better jobs and have better rest of their life. thumbs up
My sisters both went away to college. I went to a local 2 year, i feel like that's a mistake I've made because they got a chance at living somewhere else besides my hometown and i haven't.
Monica, I’m almost old enough to be your grandma. I watch you because I want to keep in touch with young people. What a great representative of your generation you are. My biggest mistake? Not believing in myself soon enough.
wow, this is so cool.
I’m glad I came across this comment 💛💛💛✨
That's actually amazing! And it's good that you believe in yourself now ❤ Greetings from Czech Republic 😊
Thanks for keeping it real as alwayssss, lots of good wisdom in this 🙌🏻💕
I absolutely enjoyed this. I know I'm not the first to say this but it would be amazing if you could give us some insight on how you manage your money/whether or not you budget. You seem to make smart financial decisions!
I made a mistake by watching Jake Paul
Maya 8798 me to
I thought you were going to say one of the biggest mistakes was buying your Hawaii plane ticket earlier and having to pay the fee to change it lol.
Haha seriously!!
Wow Monica... I learned so much for every single mistake that you said..... this helped me a lot.... thank youu Monica,this is an amazing and I genuinely loved it!
I can totally relate to the whole “I want to get out of my hometown” thing because I myself have said some horrible things about the people who want to stay in my crappy town and yeah I’ve definitely been put in my place
Thanks for making this video Monica, it was lovely to see you reflect on mistakes you've made in that past. It's really wonderful to see how much you've grown since then. Your videos always make me smile, thanks for being such a positive influence on so many people, including myself.
Okay, why is Monica such a real, perfectly imperfect human being. You are honestly goals on how I want to be around my 20s, and you've matured so much over the last few months. I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU MONICA. IT'S AWESOME TO SEE YOU'VE FOUND YOUR HAPPINESS IN THIS WORLD!
Monica I just want to say I really really loved this video. I felt like you were sitting down in front of me and giving me advice. I like the sit down style a lot ❤️ Also definitely relate to #5 because I do that too, definitely changed my perspective, thanks
My biggest mistake: pleasing others!!
Kait Miller so true!
Agree so much!!!
I love everything you do and how you have grown as a person your so inspiring
Even though it may be different now, you can always go to college later when you are ready. The experience is worth it. Regardless of how old you are. :)
This video made me genuinely happy! And the content itself is SO amazing. Thank you so much Monica❤️
I have to agree with your college mistake. I went to a jc and have been stuck there for a very long time. If I had choose to go straight to a 4 year I would not have this problem. Great video as always Monica.

Damn number 3 hit me hard im inone of those situations right now hearing you talk about it helps I think I'm going to break things off with the guy tonight
Kenzie G good luck !
It's definitely hard .. I'm in that position too but I believe in you ❤️❤️
I know someone with the name Kenzie g Kenzie gallion

Monica I just want you to know that you are someone that i look up to so much, you have such a good attitude towards life and the hardships it brings. You make me think differently and im a very stubborn person so thank you! Lol you are truthfully a beautiful human being! And thank you for that.
did anyone else see the missing file thing in beginning
i’ve learned to not trust everyone who seems trustworthy especially with super personal secrets
Wow Monica! This was so thoughtfully and passionately said! I loved hearing this! You have matured so much and are able to articulate it so well!
You are such an amazing person! Like it would be so hard for me to admit to all my mistakes
I really love and appreciate your vlogs! I don’t want to sound cheesy but you are the person I aspire to be. I have been going things in my life like all people do and your happy, go lucky personality has been a breathe of fresh air! You remind me of myself in a happier state. Keep living your life and doing what you can while you can! I’m also PNW born! Thank you!
wow. it's not easy to admit your mistakes and confess that you were wrong, but you handled it perfectly with grace.
I've said it before but I will say it again, you have wisdom beyond your years Monica! Love your channels.
One regret I have was actually college in a way. I spent 5 years there thinking I finally found what I wanted to do (being a writer), but years after college, I am a film actor and although I do writing on the side, acting I feel is my true passion. I definitely got the college experience but had so many weekends I didn't go out or have fun because I was overworking on something I wouldn't end up doing the rest of my life lol
I honestly hate the fact that this is one of your least viewed videos, because honestly, this is great advice.
As someone currently experiencing number 3, your insight and advice really struck a chord with me. Thank you so so much, and I hope you keep up this kind of content! (:

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! You were very sincere and honest about everything. It was as if you spoke from the heart and not a script
I really really liked this video. I don’t normally comment but I felt the need to with this video. It is so personal and relatable to a wide variety of people. Well done Monica!
That hair isn't a mistake - so pretty!
you are super wise and i just wanna say this is one of my favorite videos you've ever made
Agree, never settle!!
Leigh-Anne Marie wth
Emma Miniaci did you watch the video? 6:04
Actually starts around 5:51
So proud of you, especially for the last thing you said because it takes a mature, humble person to admit a mistake, especially on the internet!

my biggest mistake: watching this video instead of actually studying for my exam in 4 hours :)
I wouldn't say not going to college was a mistake. I went to college for 2 years before I decided it wasn't for me... And now I have to finish because I'm so invested... You definitely made the right decision
This was a very great video! I enjoyed it, and even my boyfriend was interested to hear the rest lol

thank you for the advice in the in between friendship .
I remember watching the vid of you crying in the car and being like “yeah girl, I understand, I won’t do that,” but then I did the same thing! But that’s a mistake everyone has to learn on their own.
The funny thing about my hometown is that it is Seattle but wow that fifth one is a really really good point
I’ve been watching your vlog channel for so long and this is the first main channel video I’ve seen in a long time and wowzers its so different! I love both your channels so much but you’re different in both channels. Beautiful video
"Which is a ship you should never get on!!" Lmao seriously
I love your vlogs so much Monica!! I’ve been watching your videos for a long time!
Monica! I've been loving your content lately! I feel like you are making videos that are just so real and so original :))
You have such a great perspective!
I really liked your honesty
Your hair is Gorgeous 😍
Hannah Marie your. Your hair.
Alice Mowat aww thank you for that! I totally didn’t even notice ❤️
I know I am late but the last one is also similar to what I did ,I did not judge people but I judged my country for it not being well facilitied like other countries . I will learn from it.
videos like this are something to relate to growing up thank you monica so much 💜
BTW on the oil. You still need to change the oil filter every 4-5,000 miles. So many people skip that part.
Love how real and open you got

I feel like I have an older sister, one that I’ve never actually had. To give me advice and to be someone to look up to :) Thanks Monica!
i relate so hard to number three right now and i just got hurt and now we’re nothing so yep
Thank you for admitting to your hometown comment. It hit close for me because I live an hour south from your hometown (which if I told you, you’d think it was even more “loser” 😭) after 10+ years living in Seattle area.

You're such a kind and intelligent person, I love your advices ❤️❤️
You are too relatable! This story is literally my life.
Very nice video vloog Monica love your vlog style you are so pretty i know the the situations very good Monica Thank you so much, Monica love greetings from Germany and i understand you very i must lern this too
i remember seeing that vlog about what you said in the town, you know i am so sorry that happened, i agreed with you on that too! sorry that so much got wrong
omg I am falling in love with your hair it's so pretty❤❤💜💜
You are a nice person! Keep on doing what you do! Greetings from Germany!
I love you so much you're so genuine😍 also you're one of my fav vloggers
Biggest mistake... not subscribing to you earlier!!! x
My mistakes?
1) being too trusting to strangers (not since feburary because of a shitty incident which i hope has passed)
2) not believing in myself
3) not being assertive
4) not knowing how to get around because of always having a book in my face
5) not "stopping and smelling the roses"
I’m in a situation like number 3, but it’s not me that will be hurt. I don’t use him , but I know I may be stringing him along.
no accidents
no mistakes
no coincidences
this is amazing!! so genuine and inspriring
One time, I got really insensitive and said some horrible things about vendors which are meant as a joke while I'm in a marketplace (which is very stupid of me). A vendor overheard me and scolded me in an angry but caring kind of way. I was really mad and ashamed of myself for thinking that way about vendors.

This makes me feel more connected to you and like you’re my big sister lol its all relevant to my life mainly point four and five :) thanks hahaa it’s good advice lets hope I learn from ur mistakes
The last mistake is so relatable
Wow I needed to hear that friendship advice so bad!
My biggest mistake: not setting boundaries with people and putting people in their place when they deserved it
I love your vlog style sooooo much
You are a amazing person! IMHO, the reasion people go to college is to become accredited and that credentialing lets them get better jobs and have better rest of their life. thumbs up
I love your purple hair! it looks good on you and suits ya well btw great vid too
great,fantastic,beautiful video
I missed your wonderful videos
OMG, i literally just met you, but i love you so much! AWEESOME videos, really
the third wheel part is way too relatable 😂❤️
#5 hits close to home
I love this video. It reminds me of your vlogs. It’s just a lot more you :)
I totally need to film this video!
What was up with the “Missing File” at 0:37? Another mistake? Lol
nadiainthesky it’s kinda a joke, she’s embarrassed of that vlog haha
Out of all the great advise she said, you chose to focus on a small mistake.....
My sisters both went away to college. I went to a local 2 year, i feel like that's a mistake I've made because they got a chance at living somewhere else besides my hometown and i haven't.
you should do more videos like this, really enjoyed it!! xxx
I need that hug
I love this video so so much. Thank you!
Wow I've learned a lot from this. Many of these things apply to me so thanks for this video :)
Good life lessons! I have similar mistakes too.lol
Your rockin that purple hair!!! I really like it!
Great video! I love you Monica!
