SO PROUD OF YOU 😭😭

[@maria-zm1ul]

Hi Viola, I’ve watch your videos here and there, but I’ve got to say this video was so comforting to watch. I know you were upset that your plans were delayed but the same thing happened to me. And seeing how you didn’t give up and just thought it’s never easy I’ll apply next year was so motivating for me. I too wasn’t allowed the visa because they weren’t releasing them due to Covid. So, I’m planning to study abroad in the near future. Hope you enjoy this new adventure 🎉❤

[@violahelen_]

thank you so much for your kind words, Maria! yes, I had already deferred my place by one year so I didn't want to defer it by a second year and really thought I'd be going in 2025 (I really wanted to focus on other things for the next couple of years). but things change!! good luck for your future studies xx

Nice propaganda...

好棒了！Super cool that you're moving here! And also, the first 6 or so minutes of this video is a snapshot of what it's been like to live here the past few years. 🥲 I know it was rough for you, but I'm glad you're missing all of that 2022 madness. Yay!
