I'm intrigued how repaying student loans works in the US. I trained as a nurse from age 18-21 then returned to uni aged 40 to gain my BSc (Hons) in psychology. Here In the UK you start repaying your loans directly from your salary once you're earning above a certain amount. It increases or decreases according to your earnings and, like paying tax, National Insurance and work-place pensions- it becomes a 'normal' regular outgoing. The repayment plans have changed with different governments but the one I'm on (plan 1) any remainder will be written off after I hit 65 (not so far away 😂) Otherwise, I think any balance is written off 30 years from your first payment. Student debt doesn't affect credit scores either- is that the same there?
your ads are really the best. I've never watched a youtuber who puts so much respect, creativity, time, and professionalism into their ads. seriously it always puts a smile to my face, like watching a bestie make an audition skit or something hehe
@@ChelseaCallahan and i commented before you mentioned the short film! how exciting!! that'll be so fun to watch! i was wondering when you were going to incorporate some more *acting* in your videos :)
I did my degree at 33, my Masters at 50 and, at 53, I'm doing my PhD. If I'd done it all sooner, I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much, or valued it as much.
Bravo! Many years ago I met a lady who went back to school in her late 50's. She always wanted to be a teacher but got married very young and was a stay at home mother her entire life. After much mental nagging she decided to take the plunge. She first had to get her ged then enroll in college. She said she got her first job as a teacher when all her friends were retiring. She went on to teach for 18yrs into her 80's and she loved it!!
Loved that coat with your outfit. Perfect length. 33 is a great age. At that age I felt like I was finally an adult and people started taking me seriously. I think the best decade of my life was actually in my 40's. So at 33 your just getting there. I'll be 70 on November 5th by the way. I don't feel that old, well except first thing in the morning. 😊
I feel this! I’m 42 and feel so young, I feel like I’ll never feel old. As life goes on I find better ways to take care of myself, learn more about how to manage my feelings and move in the world, find out who I am more… more time seems to bring more mellowing and the benefits of experience!
@AnneLilley Ditto! I'm 31 now and I finally feel like a real adult in my career and that both my colleagues and students take me seriously, and I feel it'll only get better with age👍🏾
I hear this. I’m in my 50s now and am feeling like I’m entering an entirely new phase in life, one I couldn’t have imagined in my 30s. As long as we’re living, we are never really “finished” with becoming who we are. It’s constant growth and new opportunities and discoveries.
The 40's has been the worst decade of my entire life. My muscles are weakening, face is changing, metabolism is slow, sex is definitely no where near as fun as 20's, hormones are a rollercoaster ride, body shape is changing, would love more kids but my time is about over which really depresses me, energy at an all time low, my elder family members have died, I feel like I'm running out of time. I take vitamins/supplements, read a lot, go for walks with my dogs and kids, eat healthy and work out. But this totally sucks and I wonder why so many women told me it was great. It's not... and I feel lied to.
I think I needed to hear the message of this: "The excitement doesn't end when you are in your thirties, or fifties, or sixties --and beyond." Good message for us all. Thanks, Chelsea, for sharing a part of yourself.
I agree with your higher education rant. I would also add that employers often are very judgmental about prospective employees when they see a "gap" in their resume - they expect that you'll never, ever be without a job. And that's where including genuine life experience is valuable, but not to most employers. I love that you realize that the fun of life does not stop at a certain age...no, if we can remain "open" to life experiences, than life will continue to be precious and fascinating. "The best is yet to come!"🌻
That thing about having a gap in your resume is so bonkers, especially for how people want to work nowadays. I think with more men staying home with kids for a period of time and with some people working for a period and then taking a period to travel, etc. these stigmas will hopefully change.
Chelsea, I’m glad that you don’t try to be something that you’re not You’re just Chelsea. You don’t try to be perfect You don’t try to make your videos perfect Just a normal human being . such a relief.
Hey Chelsea, I'm a 37 yr old woman living on my own in London. I moved here in my early 30s and it was a big fresh start moment for me. I love listening to your musings about life and relate to many of the little moments you share about living in your own in a big city. 30s are such a wonderful time to get to know yourself more deeply and find out what you're made of. Hearing you reflect on this time in your life helps me to do the same and feel grateful. The realness of what you share here is really valuable. Thank you for doing what you do :)
"Doing the same old thing" is exactly why your channel is my favorite 💖💖 Because that's literally my life! I can relate to you and it's so comforting ☺
Bro I feel like this upload is going to heal my soul lollll I just had a work interview where I’m convinced I sounded so awkward and nervous 😅 now on my lunch break and got SO HAPPY when I saw this vid. Now I get to relax & eat leftovers & “hang” with you guys to take my mind off it. Happy weekend everyone!
Completely agree about waiting for school. I was entirely unprepared for university at 18 so I dropped out after the first year and entirely switched gears. I worked for a year (as a manager at Blockbuster - I'm also only 33 but that one makes me feel old lol) and then got an associate's degree to be a paralegal. That let me save and go back to school for a full degree later. The satisfaction I got graduating at 27 was sooooo much better than I would have gotten when I was younger. ANYWAY. I always tell young people there's no shame in waiting but society is going to society. I am so happy I did.
You're the most authentic ad creator lol. It's not cringey at all. Also, I almost didn't recognize your bedroom. It looks amazing! You've come so far into the events and everything. I love seeing the life you've created over the past year.
Great Vlog Chelsea. And thank you for standing up for us who do not have a college education. We are smart and hard working people who have the same dreams as everyone else. You're awesome, so stay that way 🙂
I tend to think that having a reset every 7-10 years shows that we grow and reassess our value and needs. All of our body parts regrew and got replaced over that time, so it’s a different person making choices today than the version that existed in the last decade. It’s like getting multiple lives and I love that. On a side note, ‘tonight I have no plans’ is basically a gold ass bliss move ❤
I really love the new art above your bed, Chelsea! I'm not sure if I missed you documenting hanging it, but it's a vibe! Your bedroom has come together so nicely 😊
While I agree that there shouldn’t be pressure for someone to go to college right away and that student debt is high, college isn’t about your major it’s about the life skills necessary to navigate the world. The ability to write, research, consume data and determine the critical information to be memorized. College is an investment in one’s self. I’d assert that much of what you’ve been able to do with your channel is a direct result of skills you learned in college. Going to college is a critical strategic choice, over a lifetime college graduates make over $2M more than their counterparts without a degree. And the stats show that every year removed from primary education the percentage of likelihood to return to higher education plummets. I think we must change the way we speak about college to help young people understand the choice and weigh their options.
Put a couple of open containers of baking soda in a couple of rooms and it will absorb the smell. If you have some oils you can put some drops in like tea tree oil or lemon or something you enjoy! It works very well. I just use a candle holder that’s empty or an empty jars or plastic cup or bowl where the cats won’t get to it! It’s not dangerous to them but it could spill everywhere! Glad you went out again! You’re doing so much more now, proud of you! Smartest thing you could have ever did was pay off those loans ( smart super smart)!no one needs that hanging over your head! That’s awesome!!!!
It looks like you had so much fun going out! Congratulations on paying off student debt, that’s a huge worry. Love seeing the beautiful kitties as always, they’ve grown so quickly! Looking forward to whatever you post next. Thank you for always keeping it real! ❤
One of the things I love about your vlogs the most, Chelsea, is how they will live on as a scrapbook of these "average" days. Someday you can look back at them and realize what a full and fabulous life you lived that was very worthy of sharing! What a wonderful gift to yourself to see these days again via your vlogs, right? It makes me wish I had any interest in being on camera (nope!) so I could do the same. :) But I shall live vicariously through you as your content helps me remember my own NYC days (also from my thirties) with immense fondness! I am eternally grateful for that. Clinkety clink! ☕❤☕
Love Love Love your vlogs!!!! For an introvert like me, it feels like I'm visiting with friends. We laugh. We cry. We learn. We share. It's awesome!! I look forward to it every week ❤ can't wait for your wee film 🎉 have an awesome weekend x
I love your videos. They're so calming and realistic. The cats are adorable. When you were talking about oversharing when you're out that is so me people always. I feel like I've known you forever. It's because I don't stop talking and sharing. LOL in my head the whole time I'm like okay. I need to stop talking but I can't stand silence.😅
Ya age is just a number. My whole life changed in my 30’s . Left my fiancé after a 9 year relationship with him. Met my now husband, got married and then pregnant at 37… first time mom at 38, and now I’m living the best part of my life with a 9 month old baby and I’m turning 39 next month ✨
Sooo proud of you for paying off your student debt! Money shame is real ❤️ And I freaking love watching what you cook. I’m so excited for the short film next week!! I’m here for allll of the creativity x
Congratulations on paying off your student loan Chelsea!! I just paid mine off two a few months ago! I paid off $50k in 5 years and I am so proud of myself! It is such a relief :)
I lived in NYC when I was 30-33. I paid off my student debt during that time. I moved back closer to family, met my husband thru friends at 34, married at 35, became a Mom at 36. Your channel resonates for me.
you're little calico is the spitting image of my elsie (aka elsifer) who lived to 18.5 ... still miss her. I know I've written that before but every time i see her it warms the cockles of my heart
Love watching you engaging with your darling furbabies knowing how in love you are with them!! Thought Gordo was sooooo sweet sitting up on his hind legs on the bed when when you were laying with Deli...glad to see you are put and about enjoying life more too. Fantastic that $0 balance on student loans!! Onward and upward!!
Chelsea I just turned 33 in May ! I feel the same as you, that when I turn 34 next year I will still feel young. I further agree that when we least expect it someone can walk into our lives.
i look forward to upload day every week, and pasta chats is exactly what i needed this week. i'm about to turn 25 and have never felt more lost and sometimes hopeless, but then its like you read my mind and said what i needed to be reminded. i found your channel during a hard time in life and am just reminded time and time again why I watch you still - the light you provide is needed and i am so thankful to be able to experience you! if you ever feel like you aren't doing enough, just know you saved a lil life somewhere out there
The comment about feeling like life can change at any age made me feel better too! I honestly at 36, feel a bit lost! Congrats on paying off your student loans, what a major accomplishment! You’re a mega inspiration, Chels!
“ I will literally tell someone my SSN to keep the conversation going” had me 😂😂😂 I get that… I am an extroverted introvert, IYKYK! I am good with one event per day and need to reenergise at home ❤ 😊 love all your vids CC x
What all ads aspire to be. Honestly the warmth and genuine care you put into your storytelling is top tier girly. Also your kittens are adorbs, I hope the tummy troubles are behind you! My kittens blood work came back as "general dehydration" so now there are glass bowls everywhere cause she's too bougie for her metal water dish 😆😆😆
Congrats on knocking that student loan off your radar! Your gentle “rant” on what we do right out of high school resonated with this grandma of a certain age. I did the same thing (straight on to 4 yrs of college) because that’s just the expectation that resonated within my family. No real regrets, but the worldly wisdom of hindsight illuminated options I’d never considered at that tender age. I love the way you expressed your thoughts on this subject. Love you lady❤️
33 is still so young to start a new chapter in your life, it’s societal expectations that put so much pressure on us. I so resonate with you about higher education, I wish I had waited a few years also before making a decision, I’m currently going through a career transition myself. I luv seeing Gordo and Delila, you have created a beautiful little family 🫶
Chelsea, what you say about the education system is so spot on.. you go, show up, memorize and move on.. I am more impressed with street smarts , common sense and life experiences than a college degree ( which I have) It’s always been my opinion that the people with street smarts make a much better employee than the one with just a piece of paper.. nuff said, love your puddies.. give them kisses for me 😻😉
Huge, HUGE applause for paying off your student loan! That is so rare these days and you’re so lucky to have the means to do that. I’m annoyed how much tuition costs now. It puts higher education out of reach for so many who want, and deserve, to go and continue learning and growing. I went to college at a time when I could pay it myself from a part-time job, but that is next to impossible anymore. Very proud of you! 😊
It's so weird, having watched you for almost a year and a half from across the country, to be like "oh, i know what day that was. I got caught in that storm. I stopped into an izakaya to escape. I had planned to walk by the water but it was way too cold and windy for what i was wearing." Thanks for helping the city feel not so intimidating
I love how you go to events and chat to people. I can do anything on my own except talk comfortably to other people. Maybe its a British thing. Delilah is so cute when she snuggle sleeps with you.x
Gordo is adorable. I have a mainecoon named Bruce and he looks exactly like Gordo except totally grown up. He is a wonderful, loveable and perfect little (big) furball. Also a rescue!
I’m 33 right now loved hearing your perspective. I am so happy for you paying off your student loans!! Loved hearing your insights on higher education, it’s crazy to me how normalized it is for 18 year olds to take on that much debt. We think it’s the next thing we just have to do, why doesn’t anyone question it? I think things are changing though and people are starting to realize
I just feel like your skills in making UA-cam videos keep getting better and better. Like I love your edits and the overall production quality. The ad being a dream and then the next clip being waking up is so cool
I just wanted to say I’m excited for anything you try that is more cinematic (but live your current content too) bc I actually like seeing your sponsor ads. Other UA-camrs just kinda dial it in on the ads but you always get creative and I like to see how you approach them.
Everytime you dress up im just at a loss for words because of how good you look every time!!!!! ✨💕 also what you said at 15:15, about being street smart is exactly what i've been trying to put into words. I have an art degree as well and most people don't really make a full time living out of doing art (neither do i lmao). I always put my 20+ years of being a scout on my resume hoping employers will be impressed hahahah, i can't do a spreadsheet on Excell but i WILL make a campfire thank you.
I know other people tell you this in the comments too, but here I am telling you the same: I FREAKING LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE your vlogs and your creative ads are unmatched! I mean it!
YES GIRL! Solid advice on student loans and waiting until you're older and have a solid meaning of what that debt looks like. I wouldn't have honestly gone to college (don't need it for my role), but now I'm saddled with over $60k in student loans. Bravo to you for paying it off!
Chelsssss!!! You’ve blossomed so much over the years into an amazing and more confident woman. Huge fan! You still give me the hip/fun chic side of Miranda Hobbs. LOVE IT! ♥️
Congrats on paying off your loans!!! I got a BFA on a full ride and tell people all the time staying in my dinky town for free college was the best choice I ever made. So much more freedom in my early adult life without debt hanging over me. I hear and second your whole college message!
Cutest Brooklinen ad I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a lot. Almost every creator I follow has done one but I skip most of them not gonna lie 😅 I didn’t skip this one! It was so sweet. Love that you are going to play around creatively. Looking forward to seeing what you do next.
Hi Chelsea! "The excitement doesn't end when you're in your 30s or 40s or 50s or 60s and beyond." Amen to that! ❤And congratulations on paying back your student loan...! Must be a huge actual and psychic relief. I agree with you though, that there are many different pathways to success, and real word experience is so valuable, as is knowing your true strengths and desires...Going into debt/rushing into post secondary education because you believe college - immediately after high school or ever - is the only way to be successful needs to be re-thought. Whew!
This video was awesome! I love the effort you are putting in with the film-making aspects as well as making sure to keep it real as well. You’re also inspiring me to get out more and be more social. I feel the same way you describe with social stuff and I think it’s bc of my ADHD, but I know im happier when im social, so I’m working on it!!
Just coming back from a social media free summer and your video popped up…… I have so missed you beautiful smile and heart. Thank for always being true to yourself and your subscribers. You are truly beautiful inside and out…..hugs
Love your videos, watching you do just ordinary everyday things. So peaceful and calming. Love your sense of humour and your kitties are just so much fun. Congratulations on paying off your student loan. I am in my 70s but I can still remember what it was like to be your age. Your 30s and 40s are a magical time. Enjoy every minute of it. It goes by incredibly fast.
You do the best adds! Usually when people do adds they annoy me but I get excited when I see your adds. You are so creative. The sheet fort was genius!
I love watching your ads, Chelsea. You put so much thought into creating them! Never have I ever wanted to watch an ad before. With yours, I look forward to them!!! And obviously all the rest of the content. BTW I loved the black trousers and shoes you were wearing to the Theatre! And the kitties are just gorgeous. Gordo looked like a meerkat at the side of the bed - so funny haha
Greetings Poland, from Buffalo, New York! 👋 My Grandparents were from Poland. Poznan area. Cool thing about UA-cam communities is the transcontinental nature of it. People from every corner of the planet hanging out together. It’s a lovely thing! ❤
Chelsea!! I used your skill share link and have begun to learn acrylic painting!! Been doing at home date nights with our skill share 😁 and I love factor! Your sponsors are the only ones I’ve ever actually clicked on 💗 something about you seems so trustworthy
14:51 everyone.. well okay SOME people do judge you if you don’t go. I’m so glad I didn’t. I would have ended up in the street😅 my parents didn’t set aside a plan for me and there were no loans for me in my situation at the time. Life has been a struggle but I’m free of the kind of debt my parents had and that feels like a vacation in itself. I just hope one day people can be a whole lot kinder to one another about college vs not college.
First Congratulations on paying your student debt that will be such a relief for you. Second You looked beautiful in that black top and the coat when you went to the show. Third You are so creative on your sponsorship you should do films, commercials whatever is in that field. Love those gorgeous fur babies they are getting big. ❤❤
Thank you Chelsea,I look forward to your videos every week.As a fellow New Yorker, I'm familiar with some of the places you have been. Very entertaining.Keep doing what you do lovely lady.💐
This video is exactly what I needed to decompress after such along day. Congratulations on paying back our student loan, that is huge!! The babies are getting so big, so fast. Sending you much love and light from afar. Have an awesome weekend! Greetings from Germany 🤍
Love y'all 💘💘

9 years of post secondary education and at 40 I've just paid off my student loan. So happy for you, Chelsea. Well done!
Congratulations!!!!!!
It looks like you had so much fun going out! Congratulations on paying off student debt, that’s a huge worry. Love seeing the beautiful kitties as always, they’ve grown so quickly! Looking forward to whatever you post next. Thank you for always keeping it real! ❤
That shot with the paw on the sheets!! So adorable!!! Love this AD!!
You seriously make the sponsored part of the video so entertaining. I love it every time you make it a whole skit! Love love you and your content!!
One of the things I love about your vlogs the most, Chelsea, is how they will live on as a scrapbook of these "average" days. Someday you can look back at them and realize what a full and fabulous life you lived that was very worthy of sharing! What a wonderful gift to yourself to see these days again via your vlogs, right? It makes me wish I had any interest in being on camera (nope!) so I could do the same. :) But I shall live vicariously through you as your content helps me remember my own NYC days (also from my thirties) with immense fondness! I am eternally grateful for that. Clinkety clink! ☕❤☕
Girl that rant about Jobs/education was everything! I'm so glad someone else thinks the same as I
Love Love Love your vlogs!!!! For an introvert like me, it feels like I'm visiting with friends. We laugh. We cry. We learn. We share. It's awesome!! I look forward to it every week ❤ can't wait for your wee film 🎉 have an awesome weekend x
My favorite part of the day! Hanging with my girl!!❤❤
I love your videos. They're so calming and realistic. The cats are adorable. When you were talking about oversharing when you're out that is so me people always. I feel like I've known you forever. It's because I don't stop talking and sharing. LOL in my head the whole time I'm like okay. I need to stop talking but I can't stand silence.😅
Got the notification for this video at the perfect time - Thanks for spending my lunch break with me I hope you're doing awesome!
New viewer here. Love your talk about education. Congrats on paying off your loans!!!!!!!🎉 I’m on the same journey
Ya age is just a number. My whole life changed in my 30’s . Left my fiancé after a 9 year relationship with him. Met my now husband, got married and then pregnant at 37… first time mom at 38, and now I’m living the best part of my life with a 9 month old baby and I’m turning 39 next month ✨
Wow, the rant about college really hit home for me. This is why I love your channel! Thanks for being so honest
❤❤❤
Sooo proud of you for paying off your student debt! Money shame is real ❤️
And I freaking love watching what you cook.
I’m so excited for the short film next week!! I’m here for allll of the creativity x

Congratulations on paying off your student loan Chelsea!! I just paid mine off two a few months ago! I paid off $50k in 5 years and I am so proud of myself! It is such a relief :)
I lived in NYC when I was 30-33. I paid off my student debt during that time. I moved back closer to family, met my husband thru friends at 34, married at 35, became a Mom at 36. Your channel resonates for me.
you're little calico is the spitting image of my elsie (aka elsifer) who lived to 18.5 ... still miss her. I know I've written that before but every time i see her it warms the cockles of my heart
awe 💓much love xx
Love watching you engaging with your darling furbabies knowing how in love you are with them!! Thought Gordo was sooooo sweet sitting up on his hind legs on the bed when when you were laying with Deli...glad to see you are put and about enjoying life more too. Fantastic that $0 balance on student loans!! Onward and upward!!
Chelsea I just turned 33 in May ! I feel the same as you, that when I turn 34 next year I will still feel young. I further agree that when we least expect it someone can walk into our lives.
i look forward to upload day every week, and pasta chats is exactly what i needed this week. i'm about to turn 25 and have never felt more lost and sometimes hopeless, but then its like you read my mind and said what i needed to be reminded. i found your channel during a hard time in life and am just reminded time and time again why I watch you still - the light you provide is needed and i am so thankful to be able to experience you! if you ever feel like you aren't doing enough, just know you saved a lil life somewhere out there
I love the painting in your bedroom… it’s such a vibe 😊
Just sat down for dinner, such good luck!
bon appetite
Oh, hey, Lol, Buffalo, here! I’ll go for you. 😆
And wow, totally looking forward to your short film endeavor! Can’t wait!! 🫶
YES!!! you should go!! haha. and thank you
The comment about feeling like life can change at any age made me feel better too! I honestly at 36, feel a bit lost! Congrats on paying off your student loans, what a major accomplishment! You’re a mega inspiration, Chels!
Hey, I watch you all...
Tisha, Alexa, Lucia and of course Chelsea!
“ I will literally tell someone my SSN to keep the conversation going” had me 😂😂😂 I get that… I am an extroverted introvert, IYKYK! I am good with one event per day and need to reenergise at home ❤ 😊 love all your vids CC x
What all ads aspire to be. Honestly the warmth and genuine care you put into your storytelling is top tier girly. Also your kittens are adorbs, I hope the tummy troubles are behind you! My kittens blood work came back as "general dehydration" so now there are glass bowls everywhere cause she's too bougie for her metal water dish 😆😆😆
love your energy & cool NYFW-lifestyle experience vlog!!! ❤❤❤
Love that you were able to pay off your loans. So true about college. I just feel like educating yourself without a degree is valuable.
Congrats on knocking that student loan off your radar! Your gentle “rant” on what we do right out of high school resonated with this grandma of a certain age. I did the same thing (straight on to 4 yrs of college) because that’s just the expectation that resonated within my family. No real regrets, but the worldly wisdom of hindsight illuminated options I’d never considered at that tender age. I love the way you expressed your thoughts on this subject. Love you lady❤️
33 is still so young to start a new chapter in your life, it’s societal expectations that put so much pressure on us. I so resonate with you about higher education, I wish I had waited a few years also before making a decision, I’m currently going through a career transition myself. I luv seeing Gordo and Delila, you have created a beautiful little family 🫶
Chelsea, what you say about the education system is so spot on.. you go, show up, memorize and move on.. I am more impressed with street smarts , common sense and life experiences than a college degree ( which I have)
It’s always been my opinion that the people with street smarts make a much better employee than the one with just a piece of paper.. nuff said, love your puddies.. give them kisses for me 😻😉
I know it has been said already, but the way you made that ad your own, and kept me engaged the whole way through, bravo!!
Huge, HUGE applause for paying off your student loan! That is so rare these days and you’re so lucky to have the means to do that. I’m annoyed how much tuition costs now. It puts higher education out of reach for so many who want, and deserve, to go and continue learning and growing. I went to college at a time when I could pay it myself from a part-time job, but that is next to impossible anymore. Very proud of you! 😊
It's so weird, having watched you for almost a year and a half from across the country, to be like "oh, i know what day that was. I got caught in that storm. I stopped into an izakaya to escape. I had planned to walk by the water but it was way too cold and windy for what i was wearing." Thanks for helping the city feel not so intimidating
🛏️ ⛺ ~ The sponsored advertisements you do are priceless ... 👑
I love how you go to events and chat to people. I can do anything on my own except talk comfortably to other people. Maybe its a British thing.
Delilah is so cute when she snuggle sleeps with you.x
Gordo is adorable. I have a mainecoon named Bruce and he looks exactly like Gordo except totally grown up. He is a wonderful, loveable and perfect little (big) furball. Also a rescue!
I’m 33 right now loved hearing your perspective. I am so happy for you paying off your student loans!! Loved hearing your insights on higher education, it’s crazy to me how normalized it is for 18 year olds to take on that much debt. We think it’s the next thing we just have to do, why doesn’t anyone question it? I think things are changing though and people are starting to realize
I just feel like your skills in making UA-cam videos keep getting better and better. Like I love your edits and the overall production quality. The ad being a dream and then the next clip being waking up is so cool
That's so nice of you, thank you 🙏
I just wanted to say I’m excited for anything you try that is more cinematic (but live your current content too) bc I actually like seeing your sponsor ads. Other UA-camrs just kinda dial it in on the ads but you always get creative and I like to see how you approach them.
Morning from Hawaii that was a good unfiltered life on this video
You make the most creative product ads that are genuinely a pleasure to watch. So creative!!
Everytime you dress up im just at a loss for words because of how good you look every time!!!!! ✨💕
also what you said at 15:15, about being street smart is exactly what i've been trying to put into words. I have an art degree as well and most people don't really make a full time living out of doing art (neither do i lmao). I always put my 20+ years of being a scout on my resume hoping employers will be impressed hahahah, i can't do a spreadsheet on Excell but i WILL make a campfire thank you.
I know other people tell you this in the comments too, but here I am telling you the same: I FREAKING LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE your vlogs and your creative ads are unmatched! I mean it!
What a fun time! Looks like you all had a blast! I follow all your girls vlogs!! hoe great to see you all together!! 😍😍😍
YES GIRL! Solid advice on student loans and waiting until you're older and have a solid meaning of what that debt looks like. I wouldn't have honestly gone to college (don't need it for my role), but now I'm saddled with over $60k in student loans. Bravo to you for paying it off!
Chelsssss!!! You’ve blossomed so much over the years into an amazing and more confident woman. Huge fan! You still give me the hip/fun chic side of Miranda Hobbs. LOVE IT! ♥️
You are so sweet 🥹🩷 thank you so much!! Also I chuckled because I’m watching SATC right now as I saw your comment haha
@@ChelseaCallahan 🤣🤣 love it!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Congrats on paying off your loans!!! I got a BFA on a full ride and tell people all the time staying in my dinky town for free college was the best choice I ever made. So much more freedom in my early adult life without debt hanging over me. I hear and second your whole college message!
omg a BFA on a full ride is amaaaaazing!!!
I love knowing that the people I follow get along with each other. you are beautiful
So awesome you’re going to make a short film. You go girl! Can’t wait to watch.
Love a short vlog like this thrown in the mix honestly! And the growth from you this year is crazy
I love watching your videos and nice seeing @tisha in them too. Love both of you,
A recent new york city girl!
Cutest Brooklinen ad I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a lot. Almost every creator I follow has done one but I skip most of them not gonna lie 😅
I didn’t skip this one! It was so sweet. Love that you are going to play around creatively. Looking forward to seeing what you do next.
Hi Chelsea! "The excitement doesn't end when you're in your 30s or 40s or 50s or 60s and beyond." Amen to that! ❤And congratulations on paying back your student loan...! Must be a huge actual and psychic relief. I agree with you though, that there are many different pathways to success, and real word experience is so valuable, as is knowing your true strengths and desires...Going into debt/rushing into post secondary education because you believe college - immediately after high school or ever - is the only way to be successful needs to be re-thought. Whew!
Always fun to watch and catch up with your life. Thank you !
This video was awesome! I love the effort you are putting in with the film-making aspects as well as making sure to keep it real as well. You’re also inspiring me to get out more and be more social. I feel the same way you describe with social stuff and I think it’s bc of my ADHD, but I know im happier when im social, so I’m working on it!!
ayyyy new video! let me get my snacks, my cat and chill😩
Just coming back from a social media free summer and your video popped up…… I have so missed you beautiful smile and heart. Thank for always being true to yourself and your subscribers.
You are truly beautiful inside and out…..hugs
❤
Love your videos, watching you do just ordinary everyday things. So peaceful and calming. Love your sense of humour and your kitties are just so much fun. Congratulations on paying off your student loan. I am in my 70s but I can still remember what it was like to be your age. Your 30s and 40s are a magical time. Enjoy every minute of it. It goes by incredibly fast.
You do the best adds! Usually when people do adds they annoy me but I get excited when I see your adds. You are so creative. The sheet fort was genius!
I love watching your ads, Chelsea. You put so much thought into creating them! Never have I ever wanted to watch an ad before. With yours, I look forward to them!!! And obviously all the rest of the content. BTW I loved the black trousers and shoes you were wearing to the Theatre! And the kitties are just gorgeous. Gordo looked like a meerkat at the side of the bed - so funny haha
Your videos are always such a treat for me. Thank you again. Give the cats a hug for me.
Love the timing between scenes!

Hi Chelsea! Watching your vlog from Poland
Hi!! So awesome :)
Greetings Poland, from Buffalo, New York! 👋 My Grandparents were from Poland. Poznan area. Cool thing about UA-cam communities is the transcontinental nature of it. People from every corner of the planet hanging out together. It’s a lovely thing! ❤
You literally are an aesthetic, you dont even have to try! I love you, your personality and ur vids
Chelsea!! I used your skill share link and have begun to learn acrylic painting!! Been doing at home date nights with our skill share 😁 and I love factor! Your sponsors are the only ones I’ve ever actually clicked on 💗 something about you seems so trustworthy
you have no idea how happy that makes me!!! thank you ❤️
☺️ 😁
My comfort youtuber 🫶
appreciate you!!
14:51 everyone.. well okay SOME people do judge you if you don’t go. I’m so glad I didn’t. I would have ended up in the street😅 my parents didn’t set aside a plan for me and there were no loans for me in my situation at the time. Life has been a struggle but I’m free of the kind of debt my parents had and that feels like a vacation in itself. I just hope one day people can be a whole lot kinder to one another about college vs not college.
Interesting project to try out the short film! Hope it goes well. Can’t wait to watch it! 🎉
Watching your videos makes me feel comfortable.
First Congratulations on paying your student debt that will be such a relief for you. Second You looked beautiful in that black top and the coat when you went to the show. Third You are so creative on your sponsorship you should do films, commercials whatever is in that field. Love those gorgeous fur babies they are getting big. ❤❤
I love your creativity. I love the vlogs where a persons creativity comes through honestly.
Hey girl hey! the cats in bed sequence was so cute. :)
Thank you Chelsea,I look forward to your videos every week.As a fellow New Yorker, I'm familiar with some of the places you have been. Very entertaining.Keep doing what you do lovely lady.💐
This video is exactly what I needed to decompress after such along day. Congratulations on paying back our student loan, that is huge!! The babies are getting so big, so fast. Sending you much love and light from afar. Have an awesome weekend! Greetings from Germany 🤍
the creativity and quality keeps going up. way to go!
