As someone who's been watching you since your first year of A-levels, it's so crazy to see how far you've come! From crying after your A-level biology exam, to travelling the world during your gap year and then doing this crazy 4-year degree - thank you for sharing your journey x
it's honestly so crazy that you've watched me grow through all these phases of life!! 🥹 thank you so much
jade it’s insane to think you’re graduating i’m so proud of you
Ye it is
@@dglife9883 person
i knowww 😭🥹 thank u so so so much for following me on this journey!!
as someone who graduated three years ago, my advice is: take the risk of doing something you love for work, even if there's instability/uncertainty. I had to work a different job while I searched for a career I actually liked in order to support myself and save up, and then I took the leap---it has been so rewarding, and I couldn't be more grateful!
and what are you doing now?
Can I ask a little on how you explored different areas to find a career you actually liked?
@@sennosci’m curious too!
@@Ayesha-vy9gy great question!
I think it really starts with knowing yourself-your strengths and weaknesses, your likes and dislikes. And if you’re not sure, it takes experimentation
I worked a few diff internships during my college years so I knew where my priorities were (meaningful work mattered more to me than cool job perks, for instance). Through experience, confirmation from other people, self-reflection, and online tests I figured out my strengths (creative problem solving, innovation, adaptability, etc) and weaknesses (detail oriented work, repetitive tasks, etc). And I had studied abroad for a semester so I knew I could do overseas work and really enjoy it and not get too homesick
I hope that helps! Sending good wishes your way!
@AndromedaMoon Thank you so much for your advice! I'm in my last year of uni and every now and then I get overwhelmed and confused on whether this is the field I want to further pursue or not, and there arent much people i can talk about this with. I'll try to do just as you advised. Sending love your way ❤️
As someone who graduated a few years ago, I would say the main pieces of advice:
- Take the time to work out what you want to do! I did not do this really, and as you say having the time to be able to process it all. So the fact you are admitting you don't know what you want to do is amazing.
- Get a catch-up with your uni friends in the diary soon! It can be difficult to get it in the diary, start it off now :) Plus it gives you something to look forward to every few months.
- You will make mistakes and regret it, however that's ok! In some ways, it's better to work out what you DON'T want to do than what you like to do.
- Hold on to good people in workplaces, you'll know a good manager/work colleagues when you see it. Enjoy working with them too, a positive work culture makes all the difference.
- Try voluneering for a while! You'll meet so many new people and giving back to your community is always a good thing.
- Keep journalling and reflect on your work or volunteering experiences. Why did the role make you happy? Is the team good to work with and why?
- Trust your gut - if something isn't working out (job, etc) then work out how to manage it or what to do next. No job is worth damaging your own mental health.
- Consider working with a counsellor or a career coach to help you process your feelings, especially graduate blues (which I definitely had).
- Sometimes your "idea" or "plan" that you had after uni didn't work out...that's ok. You're taking the long road to where you want to be.
- Never stop learning!
great advice!
@@annoar9776 thank you! 💚☺️

My casual magic today was sitting on the floor in the loungeroom with my parents, hugging my new guinea pig squishmallow and doing a paint by number :) I feel like I have finally re-learned how to rest and it feels amazing. Thank you so much Jade for being a rock I can always come back to to feel valid and loved 🌱
guinea pig!!! 🥹 aaaaah so lovely, thank you for sharing a slice of your life x

What r u talking about
Depends on your point of view ..
Oh my word, it’s so comforting to hear a different perspective about graduation and life after uni. I’ve been in such a dark place in regards to my career, this awkward and unwanted gap year, what to do after graduating my second degree, wanted to do my masters but couldn’t because of financial constraints... This video just gave me a sense of peace for this season. I just need to process the life I’ve lived in uni and eventually, when I’m ready and everything around me allows, I’ll get onto the next chapter.🌵
We're all on our own timelines and I'm coming to embrace it more and more!! 🦋 yes yes yes i love this for you
As someone who was not mature enough to take the time off after finishing uni, and then finishing a master, please enjoy this time of freedom and peace! I went straight into my „dream job“ without having processed any of my student years and I am deeply regretting it. I love my job but I wish I would have not jumped head first into full time work as you are expected. Sending you much calmness and joy for the coming months 🧡🌞
I had a 'mourning period' after uni and it was a great thing for me. University is such an intense time emotionally and it's important to process it to be able to start a new chapter. It's not easy at first because life really slows down but it's totally worth it! Everything will work out - you have so much potential Jade xx
My casual magic: Today it started to rain heavily in Taiwan and I just can’t appreciate it more as a rain lover, the sound of rain just makes me feel alive and cozy. And knowing that we’re gonna have more water in our reservoirs is simply exciting! Thanks for making these videos, they always give me motivation to live more mindfully and actively!🍀
That sounds so lovely 🥰
Wow, you painted this picture so well. thank you for taking me back to taiwan in your words
AHHHHH CONGRATS JADE!!! 🎉❤ it's a time for you to reflect on and accept all the change with open arms! I still can't believe you're graduating already, it feels like I've grown up with you too. May u have a happy and healthy life❤
You inspire me so much! ❤ I love that you’re gonna give yourself time to process all these lives you’ve lived instead of being in a rush to live more and more. Sometimes a break is all we need to find what’s the next step for us.
Thanks for being so genuine. Lots of love 💕
I’ve been following you since before you started at Minerva and all this time, you have been one of my biggest inspirations Jade
It's been amazing watching you grow over the last few years. Remember you're not alone!! Postgrad life is very different and has it's own challenges but the friends you've made at uni are experiencing the very same thing, even if you're miles away from each other you'll still have that support circle. We can't wait to see what your next chapter holds!!
Its been such a long and beatiful journey seeing you grow up and growing as a person along with you.I'm 17 and going to be 18 this year and taking my first step towards my future and your videos have been such a motivation and you have been a great inspiration throughout this journey .Your positivity is honestly my casual magic mostly☘️.Hope you have a great future and life ahead♥✨
This honestly means so much, thank you for growing up alongside me
Congratulations Jade on graduating!! It's such a big thing! I graduated 5 years ago and honestly still don't know what I want to do. Chatting to a lot of my friends over the past year we're all at the same stage where we're in our mid 20s and still don't know what we want to be doing or where we want to be living. Society and media and films and books all sell you that you'll have your life together by your early 20s; you'll be settled in your dream job living with a close group of friends and from my experience this isn't the case. But that's okay! Being honest it can be a lonely time. You move away from your friends and maybe move to somewhere new for a job and it's then trying to create yourself a circle of friends. My advice would be keep finding gratitude in the everyday and enjoy exploring whatever area you're in. Enjoy what you're currently doing without worrying about whether you want to be going the same thing in 3 years time. Opportunities will open up! X
I'm so proud of you, I've been watching you since forever and you still inspire me everytime. Congratulations Jade, i love you
Watching this video, hearing from you is my casual magic today. Thank you so much Jade. You have an incredible outlook and growth mindset. You will only continue to florish from here on. All the best with graduation, you wonderful, beautiful, and absolutely incredible human being! 💙🦋🍀
Thank you so much 🥹🦋🌱
Congrats on graduating Jade!! Your passion for learning and inspiring way of looking at life just radiates from you
I am genuinely so comforted by you Jade, thank you for your amazing thoughtful content.
Hi Jade, I'm also graduating and finishing uni in a week and this video has been such a great comfort! I would actually say this video is my casual magic of the day because of how it is making me feel. Thank you so much, I have loved going through uni together 🪴
Thank you Jade. Not many people go on UA-cam and talk about the very important phase of discovering the next step, rather than announcing the next step. I’m still at University, and even though I’m at the age where most of my friends have completed a lot of the units whereas I have just found a major, that I think I love- I’m training my mind, body and soul to be content and at peace with where I am. Your video made me feel supported in this goal. I pray to God that you get to spend quality time with your family, that you get to find a way to incorporate your love of learning, no matter where you are and what you do. I pray that your 1 moth of graduation goes splendidly, and that whatever is meant to reach, you, reaches you.
I think it is so empowering that you are taking time to process all the lives you have lived and know yourself well enough that you need time to ground. That is so important, and I think most people lose this in college. I also think it's important how you worded it, "all the lives I've lived." How many of us push so much that we feel we live different lives through the semesters of college?? I think that's so honest and just so wise, but so tied to the fact that you traveled for your degree specifically!
I also LOVE the reminder that there are two ways to see things: life is full of possibility, or nothingness. We choose how we see it.
It has been such an amazing journey watching you since high school and now being able to see you graduate like WOAH.. Time just flew by so fast.. I'm feeling so proud of you, you definitely deserve the whole world
What a beautiful video this is. I’ve followed you since we we’re both doing our GCSEs and I am now finishing my masters and relate to you so much. It’s so beautiful to be in this transformative time and I hope you enjoy a restful summer at home❤️
I'm going to graduate with an MBiol this summer, and I'm sharing a lot of the feelings you've explained in this video. Thank you so SO much for sharing, because I feel a lot less alone. Congratulations on finishing your degree and have an amazing graduation!
Hey Jade💚I'm 23 and graduated as a nurse in December and I started my full time nursing job in Feb. But now I'm taking some time out of work and doing what I've always wanted to do - work as a camp counselor in a summer camp in the US! When I come back I'm hoping to work in my favourite book shop then afterwards I want to work a ski season in a chalet and try skiing for the first time!! I'm so excited! Do WHATEVER you want to to do, it is freeing, both for the mind and soul❤️☘️
It’s amazing to see how far you’ve come since you started your channel. I’m so proud of you, Jade 🩵
The best part of my day so far is starting to feel better after my new treatment 🌵 congrats on your graduation queen👑!
I just finished my first semester in college, and I didn't do well. I thought that I needed to work hard for my second semester. Recently, my second semester started, and I was feeling low. But when I watched your video, I felt motivated. You are just like sunshine. Keep smiling, Jade. Your smile is precious. I wish you all the best for your next journey."
oh jade i'm so proud of you :') as a fellow brit studying abroad (in south korea rn!!) i feel for you so much, especially what you said about nostalgia, and i feel so blessed that i am able to feel such strong nostalgia for such a beautiful and complex experience i've had. wishing all the best for you sweetheart
gahhhh thank you so so much!! i'm glad you're having an experience worth being nostalgic about 💌 oh my gosh this is the cutest interaction!! i love humans
THANK YOU JADE! I’m also graduating in a few weeks and I’ve started to freak out a lot. This video makes me feel less scared of the future ahead. I wish you well in your new journey! 🙌❤️
Congratulations, Gosh! I feel like a proud mum. 'Been watching you since 2018. Good luck on your life endeavors Jade!
I loved this video Jade 🌱everytime I watch these kinds of videos I'm amazed at how much you have grown. It's true, I don't know you personally but I still feel through these videos that I, or anyone really, have so much to learn from you! Thank you for sharing your insights and making youtube videos :)
gahhh this is too lovely, thank you 🥹💐🌱
My casual magic today was watching your video an getting this calm feeling of hope and contendness that I too can find a path after highschool on which I can thrive and grow and have stressfull and dark moments yes, but also overcome them.
As someone who is in her final years of gymnasium ( you know what that is from your time in berlin I'm sure 😊 ) and struggles with panic attacks and anxiety seeing this just gave me so much peace and I really wish that in a few years time I can look back at these moments right now and be as soft and real and in love with me and my younger self as you are.
So thank you jade for giving me hope. ☘️
I love you so much Jade. You are so real and transparent and I appreciate that. Sending you all the love. My casual magic for the day was graduating from college today and just enjoying moments with love ones❤️
aw, it's so good to see you again! I used to watch you during your A-levels, which was when I finished secondary school. I lost track of you after that, but now I am also about to graduate uni, and I am also having a hard time deciding what to do next. It's very comforting to hear that I am not alone in this struggle. I look forward to seeing what you will do next!
I can't express how thankful I am that I found your channel last year at the time that I did🤍🤍.I was preparing myself for an internship abroad in London and seeing your videos and your advices on living in a new place, exploring life and making friends really helped me out. And a funny thing is during my internship I actually met someone in your class who was also doing an internship at the time. I am also going to be graduating from uni in a month so this video was also relatable and the timing is just 👌🏾. I plan to move to London on September and I am really excited to see what the future holds for you.
🌿My casual magic today was sitting in my uni compound earlier and just seeing the beautiful nature and trees while it was raining. It really made me pause for a few minutes and just be present in the moment instead of rushing to the next thing🌿
Jade! 🌸 You are such a beautiful soul on this planet! I was an older learner going back to school and found myself struggling to find good study habits and I ran across your channel! So fun to see you blossom! ✨🌸 My casual magic for the day was sipping a coffee and watching the leaves dance in the breeze! 🍃✨Can’t wait to see what you do next!
🧚🧚♂🧚♀Congratulations on graduating!!! Honestly I've loved wathcing your minerva experience. At the start of the pandemic it felt like we were traveling with you and I'll always be grateful for that. I'm 34 so I graduated a few years ago already and my advice is not to worry about the passing of time and try not to compare your journey with others'. Go with the flow of life, doing what feels right, taking the opportunities that arise. Focus on casual magic as you do and just take the days on with that contagious excitment you have about life. Lots of love💞
Jade
Heyy Jade! My casual magic of today was cycling through the rain with my favorite podcast on!! I was genuinely so happy at that moment also because the air smelled just so gooood when it rains and it made my day. Hope you have a wonderful day too! 🌿🌺
We started uni around the same time and I am also graduating soon! I just want you to know that you’ve been a massive help during my uni days. I watched your “A message I wish I’d seen before my exam” pretty much before every exam and it got me through 4 years of uni.
So proud of you and thanks for all you’re doing!
Just found your channel by watching your gap year video and as I'm graduating soon just watched this video and to see you grow within 40 and talk about your life has been soo lovley to watch. These 2 very videos have just helped me so much as someone who is graduating and terrified and someone who is looking to go on a gap year these vids have helped me realise alpt thank you ever so much. New subscriber her for sure and im wishing you the best of luck in this new phase!!!
I absolutely love you jade, you are a kind-hearted person , so full of energy and beautiful, I remember I started watching your videos 4 years ago, during A levels, and how we both hated chemistry 😅I felt so related to you, especially that we are the same age, you were my guide to academic life and mental health, even now still, I always look forward to seeing your post, you have an amazing platform, I love this community😍😍🥰🥰 IM SO PROUD OF YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Absolutely lovely video Jade! Congratulations on finishing your degree
it is so wonderful to listen to you talking about your life lately. Makes me feel so calm✨
It is just insane how fast time has passed🤯 I'm so proud of you Jade, you have worked so so hard!! Please remember to be proud of yourself too and take some time to rest🫶🏻🌞My casual magic of the day was having ice cream with my family and enjoying the beautiful sunny weather🍦💛
it really, really is. thank you so much!! 🥹 i will do my best. rest is one of the skills i'm ready to work on
I've always loved your videos but I felt like this one was my favourite by far. Possibly because I am entering a similar phase (just graduated last month). I love the feelings of abundance and inspiration that you invoke in this uncertain transitional period. I also loved the way you talked about friendship circles, I think that its such a lovely way to visualise friendships as movements rather than "loss and gains". THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT I LOVED THE WAY U TALKED ABOUT IT. WORDS TRULY ARE YOUR PAINTBRUSH AND THIS WAS A MASTERPIECE. okay thank you have a wonderful day to you and everyone
🥹🥹🥹🥹 gahhh THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! and good luck in this crazy, abundant, ever-expanding post-grad period
You are so real for talking about parents getting older and us graduate students realising this. As someone who has lived 12-hours of flight away from their family for 4+ years, I feel this. It's a constant feeling of being split and guilt for missing out on big things. Thank you for bringing it up.
I also graduated this past week! It’s been awesome to follow your journey and I think it’ll be cool to follow your transition to your next chapter of life 🤗
I’m also avoiding jumping into work straight away and want to take a period of time to just breathe
Oh my CONGRATS🎉🎉🎉
This is SO EXCITING!! huge well done for graduating
casual magic: doing yoga while the sun was shining in my face ☀ 🌱
thank you so much jade for your motivation and good luck with graduation!! 💖
this sounds so healing 🌱🌞✨ thank you for sharing
I was watching your videos when I was feeling very insecure about exams!!! I had an important test to take and I watched your videos! It’s all about balance ❤️ you’re an amazing gal!!! I follow you for many years and it’s amazing to see that you’ll be graduating!!!!!
So I’ve been around since you were finishing your A Levels and were sad that you didn’t get into Oxford… GIRL, I cannot put into words how PROUD I am of you. You have grown SO SO MUCH and watching you grow through your degree has been so lovely to see and you have inspired me so much. You are truly gifted and I cannot wait to see what this universe will gift you with next. Keep that little ray of sunshine you radiate protected, you are a pure beautiful soul. Much love to you ❤️
it's so wonderful to see how far you've come. good luck on your journey ahead and all our love to you 🤍
Hi Jade, I wanted to share my experience with you post graduation! Its been nearly a year since I've left uni and reflecting back I couldn't have been more ready to leave. The education system in the UK drained me, I did a vacational degree so every grade I received back was subjective depending on who marked my work - I felt like I had poured all my energy into something I wasn't really getting any joy from anymore. After graduation I needed to decompress but also did not have the funds to take time out - I needed a job and quick. In this whirlwind I was working 11 HR days everyday for 7 months whilst living in a van to have lower overhead costs. Now I'm 3 months post job and have driven to Africa!! My casual magic for today is waking up in the Atlas mountains - a cool climate but with a hot sun ☀️☀️ 🌵🌵. I am shocked by what imaginable life I'm living now that I couldn't have dreamed of 12 months ago. Feeling very blessed and all because I didn't have a set path I wanted to take. Just took opportunities in their stride and left time to see what could happen. X thank you for this video you've brightened up my Saturday morning and given me something to reflect on :) have a great day!
jade!! it's so crazy that i've been able to follow you these past four years while I have also been moving countries + studying. I'm about to graduate as well from a program called World Bachelor in Business where I studied in Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Milan. watching you go through the ups and downs of studying abroad was beyond helpful in my own journey 💞
i relate with you on long-distance friendships as many in my cohort are from different countries and not headed to the same place as me. I also think your work on education systems is so interesting, with my program you attend different schools in each place so it has been fascinating to see what different systems value as I move around. I am also heading back to my home country (USA) but to a new city (NYC) for my first job! 🌻
my casual magic today was taking a scroll in my street in Milan and reminding myself how lucky I am to live this life. best of luck to you post-grad, you got this 🤝
🌿🌿My casual magic today was finding this video and your channel! I’m 24 and about to graduate college like you! Just a few hours ago I was talking to my mom about how scared I am about graduating and ending this huge chapter of my life, and then this video showed up in my UA-cam home page. I can relate to so many things you said and it’s so nice to be reminded that being scared is okay! Now I can’t wait to binge watch all your videos! Thank you so much and good luck with everything with your thesis!! 💗💗💗
Wait this is so kind thank you!! 🥹 good luck with graduation, it's such a scary time but we've got this
I'm so happy for you Jade, and I'm so happy you are so blessed to have made the most amazing life-long friendships
my casual magic was going to the gym today, like the whole commute there and back plus being there and not focusing on everything going on. Just taking the time to breath, look out the window and listening to music 🪴
your channel inspired me to improve my life, change the way I think about my body and also my mental health. I realised that again when you talked about your body image because without realising it I stopped disliking my body at some point in the past month. That realisation made me very happy.
Thank you for choosing to share your life and thoughts with the world. lots of love.
🍀🍀🍀As I was watching your video I felt that you're the living testimony of the value of journaling and the clarity it gives to the questions you (and others) ask yourself. I relate to you on many levels even though I'm on the verge of another kind of "graduation" (I'm preparing for my Ph.D. thesis defense in a few months). And although I'm 10 years your senior, I really look up to you and your habit of trying to express clearly your thoughts and feelings in order to avoid taking decisions from a place of fear or haziness. So, if I can give you some advice it is: avoid thinking this is the ONE defining moment of the rest of your life, you'll go through many other chapters by the end of each you'll feel similar to how you feel just now, but with more experience accumulated. Good luck on the final month of Uni and celebrations 🍀🍀🍀
This is such incredible advice, thank you
thank you 🥹 really, listening to you answering those questions made me feel so at peace with my life as i’m currently in the middle of my ib finals and i’m not quite satisfied with my performance yesterday 🙃 i’m going to uni in a few months (application process in poland starts after finals) so there’s gonna be a lot of stress hence i’m even happier that i could watch this video and destress a bit, feel that openness you talked about and now i feel like whatever happens happens for a reason and so, my results which i’ll forget about in a few months will mean nothing for my future self and will not determine what i do in 10 years
thank you 💕💕
Oh my god jade u are such an inspiration for me to keep going and do well in my a levels, to end up in a wonderful uni and just love life basically 😊❤️
I just graduated (in april) and I felt so excited for my bachelors end because I studied something I hated for 5 years. now I'm starting a new higher education degree in the area I really wanted to study and my expectations are really high. while I was watching your video, I wanted to cry all the time because, even though I love studying, I truly don't understand this love one might feel about their bachelors experience. I wish I can feel the same soon, because the academic world is beautiful and I'm happy that you are here to show us that.
Wow, thank you for being vulnerable about your experience with academia. I also struggled to find my subject -- being in a liberal arts degree just made it easier to explore. I hope your new higher ed experience fulfils all your hopes n dreams 🦋 lots of love x
Hi Jade, I usually don’t comment on UA-cam videos but I felt obligated to. You’ve been a source of inspiration and motivation for me since I was 14 sitting my junior cert (Irish equivalent of GCSEs). I’m 20 now, and the academic goals and challenges I’ve experienced have been immensely enriched by you, even subconsciously. I wish you all the best in life and wish only amazing things in life for you! 💖💖
Something making me incredibly happy with upcoming summer is the colors of nature, the way sun lights up the grass and it has this magical green color and the sky is so magnificently blue. Thank you for your videos🌷🌱
I feel exactly the same about graduation! No idea what's next, scary but exciting too!! University has changed me so much and my career thoughts are still all over the place. We are a long time working, so for me a year trying things out and travelling is the way forward. xx
Going on a walk and seeing the incredible vibrancy of the flowers at this time of year. So proud of your growth Jade, it makes me so hopeful and inspired for the future and what is to come. Sending you lots of love 🪴🦋
Oh wow, this sounds so gorgeous!! thank you for sharing
Congratulations! I am so thrilled with your graduations and your plans for the immediate future, dearest Jade. Things will become clearer as you relax with your family after graduation. I am eager to see the graduation video soon enough! Oh, wow! Being naked in public! No, that is definitely not something we British do! 😊 I very much enjoyed this video, and learning about your plans to keep your wonderful friendships going.
I really truly deeply understand when you say that now you just want to go home and ‘process’ what you have been living this past years.
I have been twice on Erasmus during my bachelors degree and after my second one, during the last semester of uni, everyone was making plans about what to do after and I just simply couldn’t think about it and decided to go home for some months and rest. This months have been very valuable for me but honestly I also think that they made me weaker and more attached to routine and familiarity than before. This is not necessary a bad thing, but it has been difficult to admit to my self that I no longer feel like the young girl that constantly wants to explore the world and meet people… this type of person is a version of yourself that you get to be when you are alone somewhere and has to force yourself doing things because otherwise you feel like you are not enjoying your time. It is a very complicated argument to express properly and I don’t want to be misunderstood, but I seriously suggest you Jade to at least find ‘a way of escaping’ after a couple of months spent at home, like for example a volunteer project, a trip far away, a short internship away from home… and then you’ll be really able to reflect about the type of life that you want, but moving back home just because you need time to ‘process’ and without a plan could be very dangerous. Take your time, is important, but also be strong and never loose focus on your dreams ✨
my casual magic today was that I shared with one of my uni tutors (who is Korean) that I am going on exchange to South Korea next semester!! her reaction made me feel so incredibly supported and excited, and Jade, I also 10000% have you to thank for initially planting the exchange inspiration in my head a couple of years ago :) I will be thinking of you and your wise words whilst I am preparing to leave over the next couple of months ❤❤
You're such an inspiration, Jade ❤Wishing you the very best of luck with the future!
It's so beautiful to see you come so far. You really do show that it doesn't have to be a painful process if you are mindful. Also you left the juiciest part out😂!
I can literally feel your positivty through the video😊. My casual magic for today was smelling the air of the first rain of the season and just appreciating nature💚
Jade, it's been amazing watching you over the years, how you've grown and changed and always been a kind, welcoming presence in our lives with your videos. Thank you. I am looking forward to seeing what is next on your path - I am sure it will be something amazing for you and the world! . I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on the climate crisis - as it is such an urgent issue and we need as many people as we can to contribute. Much love. 🌈✨
you are so motivating! enjoy your graduation month!! my magic moment was when i finally saw how two of my ufo-squash plants broke through the earth, they grew a centimeter that day, and this is only the begining 🌱🌱
enjoying the home you have on this earthly life 😊
eeekk 4 years have gone so so fast Jade! 🥰 i love that you are taking time to rest and process before going into your next steps!
My casual magic was watching you today! and basically every time I feel like I need to cheer up🌱
Thank you for being so open and honest about your life, you really are an inspiration. My casual magic for today was feeding chickens with my friend .🌿
thank you for being here 🌱💐💌 eeeep chickens!!
jade, congratulations!! i wish the best for you. thank you for sharing your journey online and inspiring soo many people
gahhh thank you so so much!!
Jade, I was super afraid to finish uni and was loving academia! I decided to go for my master's and now I'm graduating and have a full time job and can definitely say I'm not longer scared, just excited to be independent and on my feet and be able to do what I want, no deadlines!
🌺 today a few of my friends from uni who I spent a lot of time with last year but haven’t seen much this year came round to my house for a big study session. Laughing with them and all sitting together caring about what we’re learning was so nostalgic and wholesome and made my heart feel so full
We're graduating together!! I followed your videos through my entire college career and they helped me a lot when it came to finding motivation and knowing why I was doing it. Wishing you all the best!
i’m so proud of u Jadeeeee!!! i’ve been watching u since your gcse days :) it’s crazy how fast time flies 🥲 i can’t wait to see what this next chapter will bring ❤️
your comment about seeing the world as a place of abundance rather than scarcity is my casual magic of today :) ive felt the pressure of finding a job straight after uni because of financial and visa situation and it really sucked! I ended up not being able to handle the pressure of a stressful graduate job in the city straight after the pressure of final uni year and got fired at my first job and had to return home. So good call on resting and processing before making the next move Jade!
Casual Magic of the day 🌱 finding my old diary from when I was eight years old and realizing how much I miss being in nature every day
Thank you for this lovely video!
Thats so beautiful!
Hi jade congratulations!! So happy to hear from you :)
By the way my casual magic of today is waking up in my own room after months and feeling so refresh after waking up without any alarms and see the gorgeous sunrays on the greenish garden infront of my window with the birds singing and inhale the fresh air of the early morning
As someone who submitted the last assignment for my Master's degree this week, this video is what I needed to see. Glad to know I'm not the only one worried about...what next?. Congrats Jade!
Thank you so much for sharing your life with the world, I find you soo inspiring! I can relate to a lot of what you're saying. Thank you especially for your definition of friendship and how to stay in contact.. Enjoy the last days in San Francisco and congratulations!!!
I’ve followed your journey during my gcses 5 years ago, it truly helped me, i remember seeing how the biology meltdown got so much attention and thinking “finally someone is going to shift the narrative on this education system”.
I havent watched your videos a lot since graduating but i also lived for a while abroad while doing my bachelors and hearing you talk about your experience made me so nostalgic and sad, but it shows how much youve grown these past few years, i can just listen to you explain things i struggled with deciphering and making it make sense for hours.
WHATTTTT! I’m ngl I haven’t really stayed updated on your channel but I used to love your a level videos so much 🥹 It’s my first year in uni and when I got this noti and read the title I just had to click. You helped me get into my dream Uni and really push myself. I’m so happy you’ve come this far and so proud!!!
wait this is so so cooool, huge well done for getting into your dream uni!! 🥹 big love
My casual magic today is my mint tea I just had while watching this video and reflecting on my own life, particularly as I've struggled to make friends at uni so far and what you said about your friendships has really opened my eyes, thank you so much Jade! 🌱🌼
oh wow, i'm so glad it resonated 🥹💐 keep putting yourself out there and being your wonderful, authentic self. i'm certain you'll attract the right people. lots of love!! xx
@@UnJadedJade thank you! I hope graduation month is going well xx
Honestly, haven't watched a video this long without skipping sections, really good reflection! Just earned a subscriber! Much love from Sweden!
my casual magic today was finishing the first half of my gcses! 🌱🌱 exhausted but so grateful for your videos 💞
as someone who graduated a year ago, I can honestly say that it sounds like you are looking at the future in the best way possible. I landed a job I didn't think I wanted and now, as I am wrapping up my time there, to get my MPH, I have realized how beneficial the job itself was for my professional development but also, staying in my college town was an incredibly healing journey for me. didn't think I would feel as successful as I do. you've got this! i admire you so much, Jade!
Hey Jade!🍀
My casual magic for the day is this very moment. I decided to take a detour from my usual path and discovered a lush street with pink blossoms and pine trees with berries that almost look crafted, while I listen to your wonderful journey in this video. The uncanny visuals, the smell of nature, the feel of a cold breeze in summer especially in Texas and your beautiful words in my ears, is etching a smile on my face that I will not forget anytime soon. You are lovely, thank you for sharing your journey with all of us and letting us in for the ride❤️
Just realised I’ve been watching you for the best part of a decade ???!?!? That’s insane. I’ve loved watching your growth and how much joy you find in life❤
I graduated last summer and I definitely felt the post-grad depression people talk about. Honestly not sure I have much advice for it but being thankful for no longer being under academic stress, not comparing/expecting anything from myself and falling in love with old hobbies again definitely helped🥰
Oh, oh wow. time goes SO QUICKLY!! Thank you so much for helping make this corner of the internet what it is 🫶 haha i'm dreading the impending doom of post-grad depression :') but thank you for the advice!!
My casual magic today - picking fallen leaves and blossom petals for my wedding confetti 🌸🍃
Jade I am SO proud of you !! Well done for getting to this point
Congratulations on graduating! 🌿 I have followed your channel since the the gap year stories and I have simultaniously worked on my degree. Honestly I have different problems with my graduation. I have not found a job yet, but at the same time I cant wait to leave Uni live since for me it is more associated with finacial problem due to covid stuff and depression in isolation. I dreamt of Uni beeing engaging and all but instead I got a lot of Home learning due to obvious reasons. I wish you all the best for your final defences of your thesis and I wanted to thank you that your videos showed me the bright sight (or as we say the "Zuckerseite") of that experience I have lived through your videos for the last 2 years. ;)
My casual magic today was watching this video in my favourite cafe in Hamburg.
I’m almost 34. I remember watching you during your study with me days like 5+ years ago. Congrats on graduation! Advice from someone older: just try your best to be happy.
