Miss Kiara. Girl, have done it again. Constantly raising the bar for us all, and doing it flawlessly. I’d say I’m surprised, but I know who you are. I’ve seen it up close and personal. Girl you make me so proud, and I love you
omg. when you quote my literal fav person ever 😍. love you lots Hannah...I forgot to check in yesterday on our usual Wednesday chat...so lets catch up soon. ily.
Wait lemme get this straight so Kiara you're going to be a health professional and you manage youtube along with your studies girl hats off to you. I can barely handle 12th grade. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm proud of overcoming my own self doubt! I finished university in June and had no confidence that I'd be able to find a job; the thought of having to put myself out there and get a 'proper' job has terrified me for years!! Every application I read just seemed way above my skillset and I stopped myself from applying to a few amazing jobs because of this self doubt even though on paper I fulfilled what the companies were asking for. I eventually managed to get one interview at a haematology lab but was told I wasn't successful, however, a week later their recruiter rang me and said they had another position open up and want me to fill it! I start next week and am so nervous but very excited! Everything always works out in the end :)
I’m proud of overcoming depression in 2020. I never really thought this would this year but yes it happened. All thanks to you it’s cuz of your videos I recovered from depression. Thanks a ton.❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love from India.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just started freshman year of college completely online and at home and I just found out I failed my first midterm!! I really wanted to make the deans list this semester to prove to myself that i can do it despite all the chaos going on in my life. My older brother passed away on my first day of classes and there has been a lot of other family drama going on as well. And now I am feeling really disappointed and overwhelmed and i don’t know how to get motivated again after putting so much effort into my midterm and still failing. you’re videos never fail to put a smile on my face:) thank you for being a ray of sunshine in my day
Recently just rediscovered your channel and man these videos are such nice inspiration and motivation, this is normally not at all the type of content I'd watch but I like how you talk to us like old pals! would 100% trust you to hold my drink at a party
I’ve been going through a month long depressive episode since starting school (I’m in my junior year of high school) and I’m not used to having so much work. It’s definitely stressing me out and I haven’t felt like myself. I just need to get out of this rut. Thank you for being so positive and always putting beautiful videos out into the world. ❤️
Same, being a junior + online is so much harder than former years. I am just satisfied if I get out of my room during the day!! It's difficult to be under that amount of stress but I am with you and let's see if next year will be better😅
I'm proud of overcoming all the stress from trying to graduate college. I'm finally finished with classes, even though I'm not getting the graduation I wanted because of the pandemic, I'm grateful to be able to finish such an important part of my life.
Girl I feel ya with the workload of college work and getting a certification! I took an EMT-B class at night while I did my senior year of high school, taking college courses, and playing sports, and doing music. Idk how I did it but I’m sure you did an equal amount of activities at some point in your life! Knowing I could do it and that working so hard was so rewarding in the end because I have a certification I love that changes people’s lives was more than worth the work. You’ve got this girl!! Keep going :)
Love that you are "keeping it real" showing that not every day is just amazing, even if you are working for your dreams. Starting off this fall semester all online has been super rough and overwhelming especially since the days are getting shorter and there is less daylight. BUT I'm a proud of keeping up with my studies and staying on schedule AND not beating myself up for having unproductive/moody days every now then!
I find myself being on the screen for so many hours of the day doing schoolwork and then never being able to have some genuine human connection with people out in the world whether its at school or just on the sidewalk. But your videos always make my day a little bit better and make me find a positive outlook on life.
That is where the tracks that goes to oaks park because it’s the trolley line to boring Oregon before the tracks were removed in 1981. Those railroad tracks are Branchline railroads where the Southern Pacific 4449 and the Spokane Portland and Seattle 700 were put on display until 1974 for the American freedom train for the bicentennial celebration in 1976 and then made a train run from Portland Oregon to New Orleans Louisiana for the World’s Fair in 1984.
Your videos make me so happy. I’ve been having a trying week between being a senior in college, trying to be more proactive in my life through therapy to assist with emotions and past hurts - my week has been a lot. I found out about a month ago a friend I grew up with passed away and then one of my family’s dog had to be put down (due to pain and keeping her out of pain). I just have a lot of memories tied to her and it’s been rough. Just trying to get through, sort through emotions, and become a stronger better person through it. You’re so great and I love your videos! I’m proud of overcoming fear in my life, and that’s what I’m trying to work through!
Nice to hear your real talk. I’ve been working through lockdown busier than ever, am so grateful but my anxiety’s through the roof and my friends have had nothing to do and can’t relate
I just recently started university classes coming from a community college and I am so unbelievably overwhelmed and stressed at the moment. But I always try to make time for myself, and I'm so glad to see you doing that as well! Mental health is so important and taking time to recharge helps so much. I love school and I'm so excited to be working towards my dreams and I feel like you can relate to that too. Sending so much love and support!! ❤️
thanks for sharing with us. I went abroad to Scotland for university and I am in a dorm room. we weren't allowed to go to parties or be with other household, however some students did that anyway. Now, I have been in quarantine for more than a week and I have to be in here for 4 more days. It's really getting to me and I am very mad at those students. Also it shows me how much I like being outside and how important it is for (mental) health.
I am proud over coming need a help of people that i love in every bad situation..i feel like i can handle myself by my own..and we are the only person that can handle our situation well..rather than asking others for it..
I needed to hear a message more than today ... My dad suddenly passed 4 years ago today, 22 days before my birthday 😞 I've been crying off and on all day, my allergies decided to go insane too ... I'm having a very rough day
Honestly, got almost the same day. My grandpa passed 2 months ago and my other one is not doing well. I can't stop thinking about them and my allergies showed up bad today as well!!! So I wish you a good day tomorrow!!
Just had a similar talk with myself! Decided that being present, being grateful, and eating something delicious are my keys to moving forward and growing. 💛💚
This video is exactly what i needed to watch. I've been feeling very unmotivated, i can't pay attention to my classes or do my homework because I feel like I don't fit in with this online school mode. But I feel a little better seeing how more people like you are going through something similar as having a bad time or day.
Felt this video so hard Kiara omg! Mental health rn for so many young people (especially students) is just not ok because this year has been nuts. I have to constantly remind myself to take breaks when studying and that it's ok to be in a funk somedays. I always appreciate your positivity in videos about school/life but it's nice to see that even people I look up to, get in a rut now and then as well. Lots of love...we can do this! ♡
currently doing my senior year of college online and working at the same time, some days I want to scream about how overwhelmed I am, but I remind myself that I've made it this far and in just two short months I'll be graduating!! Felt very identified with your video Kiara, it's hard to be a student and manage all the pressure from school!!
Honestly, I was feeling a little bit down tonight and I thought that watching your night vlog might give some good vibes. And the. Here you are talking about it exactly... Exactly what I felt!!! It IS a sign, thank you ❤️❤️
The coconut lime chicken sounds amazing and doesn't look hard. I love simple tasty meals because I hate following recipes. Yes it is great cleaning before eating dinner; I feel more cozy eating dinner. It is tough staying home, but I am trying to get out and take short walks before it gets rainy. It is very relaxing and calming. Happy birthday I hope you had a great week!
I understand your feelings! My classes started a few weeks ago and it's been so challenging to adapt to the new schedule and this semi-online version of med school. It's overwhelming to see a never ending to-do list, but I guess we just have to take it one step at a time :)
I’ve been struggling with the expectations I set for myself. I’m a senior and I work everyday right after school. I feel like I have to be overwhelmed to be productive and feel too tired to take care of myself so I mostly watch UA-cam to make me feel better. My senior year sucks and I’m having to let go of a lot. I struggle with change. I look up to you a lot Kiara:)) thanks for letting me rant
Kiara I started crying when I watched this. I just finished my first week in training to be a behavioral therapist and I feel the same way. This video helped me feel less alone, I honestly feel like you’re the only person who really understands right now. Thank you for posting this, I feel like it was a god-send. I love you ❤️💕😘
I find myself with the opposite problem. I am on a break from school and I’m constantly looking for stuff to do. We are all kind of down this year but at least we’re in it together!
Hi Kiara, since I live in the Czech Republic, the school system is quite different. I'm 18 years old, and now I'm a senior in high school. In June, I have a graduation exam from four classes in all four years. I'm going to college after my exam. Unfortunately, the situation with Covid has made it mentally challenging. I entered my senior year in September, and just yesterday we were notified that all schools in our republic were closing. So home schooling again and full of homework, no friends. It's horrible, and it's exhausting mentally. I wish you good health! 🧡 Lucy
My life is basically a mess this year because of the pandemic. Lost my job but in a way it's almost a blessing in disguise because it was such a toxic work environment with no benefits. Overworked and underpaid. The trick is just finding a job now 😬 Your vlog is oddly making me miss school. I graduated from grad school several years ago but I continue to love learning and the structure of university life. I'm glad you found a path to achieving your academic and career goals that works for you. I'm looking forward to you showing us more about school in the medical field and work. I've always had an interest in the medical field but didn't pursue a career in it.
I have been feeling pretty stressed out lately about my college education. With Covid in all I have to wait to go to college bc they are charging full price for online college and I can't afford that if it's just online plus I have to do all my science classes with lab and that can't be done off campus. I am just playing the waiting game and I am been feeling overwhelmed because I am going pre med in college and Idk when I can go. But it's going to happen eventually and I am super excited for when it does! :) Thanks for letting me rant Kiara! I feel better just getting off my chest! ♥️
Since we’re talking about what’s stressing us out. Where I’m from the school year starts in January and ends November/December. I’m in grade 12. So I missed almost 4 months of hands on learning. I start finals in less than a month. My mom lost her job because of Covid and I’m struggling to find a bursary for university. If I can’t get a bursary then I can’t study.
I’ve found that with online varsity it’s so easy to try to fill every hour with work and I feel guilty if I take a break. I’m seriously struggling to take time for myself, so this was a pretty good reminder to do so 😅 just remember that all your hard work will pay off, and it’s worth it 💕
I just moved from Portland to Ohio for my ABSN program and watching your clips of downtown made me miss PDX so much😭 Thank you so much for talking about self care. Since my program is accelerated I feel like I don’t have time for myself anymore but I am thankful for this opportunity to become a nurse.
Omg so excited for you! All my friends are in ABSN programs right now and they are so overwhelmed so that's normal! Keep taking care of yourself and doing things that make you happy. Sending you lots of good study vibes 💕
Kiara, I am just finishing OHSU's Acc Bacc program, let me know if you need any tips! I can say, without a doubt, taking the CNA course will be the best thing you ever did for yourself as a future nurse. All the steps to becoming a nurse in Oregon are tedious, but I promise, it will ALL be worth it! I'm in labor and delivery now, and every day I thank my past self for never giving up. You will be the most amazing nurse, please reach out if you have any questions about nursing in Oregon, being a CNA1 and 2, or the OHSU program. You've got this!
Wow thanks Sarah! You are living my actually dream (except I think I want to be in Peds or NICU, but who knows). I know that program is crazy competitive to get into, if there anything you feel like helped you stand out in your essays or during your interview that you would recommend? Also, do you recommend getting your CNA 2 license right after you get your CNA 1?
@@KiaraMadisen I think you'd LOVE the NICU! My best friend is there and it's my second choice. I feel like OHSU really values diverse life experiences over grades, so any volunteer work you did, jobs related to working with vulnerable people, etc. will really help! And for interviews, it really helped me to run through some practice questions and kind of compile a list of clinical stories I might want to reference. I also tried to be easy going and team focused, complimenting others' on their answers and not being super braggy or competitive. For the purpose of getting into school, CNA1 is fine, but if you want to work as a CNA either before or during nursing school, I'd definitely recommend CNA2 so you can be in a hospital and start making connections! I work at Center for Medically Fragile Children as a CNA2 and that job has gotten me so far in terms of having a leg up on experience in nursing school clinicals and making connections.
Sarah Dole wow thank you so much for your honest answer! So good to know! I’ve wanted to work at that center for fragile children for a long time so that might mean I have to get my CNA 2! Do you think it’s doable to work while in an ABSN program??
@@KiaraMadisen Also just knowing you from your videos you have what it takes to do whatever you set your mind to, whether that be working during an accelerated program, or whatever! Good sleep hygeine, meal prep, being organized, and staying grounded is all it takes - and you've got all those skills down! Which truly make all the difference. So I wouldn't worry one bit!
I’m proud of overcoming so much self doubt in 2020! With covid I really took time to work on myself and build myself up :) also I totally felt it when you said it’s hard to wake up early, do 6 hours of school, come home and do more because that is ME !! If anyone can make it through it’s you tho! Keep being AMAZING ❤️
rewatching one of your old videos where you talk about watching Don't F*ck with Cats. I'm from MTL and I live 4 blocks from that apartment building lol
Im a junior at the university of Oregon right now and I feel so overwhelmed! I love watching your videos because nursing is something I think about all the time. Im trying to grow my instagram also to have a creative outlet as well. I have so many dreams
WOW. Go you, but also hope you're still breathing at the moment. I am so proud of you for powering through, don't forget to take care of yourself. Love you lots 💕
I’m in my master’s program which is Applied Behavior Analysis. I’m always working at a clinic full-time where I’m the Lead Registered Behavior Technician. One of my coworkers had to take a leave of absence for 2 months due to a family medical problem. I’m so happy I could step up and make that transition at work with our clients easier; however, I have so much on my plate and often times feeling very overwhelmed during the week and on the weekends due that me having to do most of my homework for my masters then. Thanks for the little vent sesh. Let’s me know I’m not the only one with a lot of their plate. I’m currently sitting on my front porch drinking coffee and this is my absolute favorite place to take a breather 🤍🤍
I’m proud of making it to my second year of photography uni. It’s been rough, needing to only take self portraits or take pictures of my sister I’m living with, and just being very very limited in my options. School didn’t give a crap, and didn’t change the (final) assignments, so I’m proud of myself for making it through. I’m also proud of myself for still going back to college, eventhough I’m 22 and I had a pretty well paying job for the past 3 years. If anyone reading this is in the same situation, you got this, and you can do it 💜💜
Hi Kiara, as I had my first uni lecture today, I totally understand your situation. I feel quite overwhelmed with all the new tasks and routines. Everything being online doesn't help eighter. But I know that it will eventually get better as I settle into my new routine. P.S.: when I saw you cutting the bell pepper I had to chuckle. I always cut it the way you do, but last week my cousin showed me a lifechanging way of doing it :) When you cut horizontally throgh the pepper an inch under the green part, you can easily pull the seeds out with your hand. To remove the stem you can just break it away from the yellow parts (the yellow looks like a donut then) Just thought I would mention it, because it shook my world and makes cutting a pepper so much easier :) Hope you have a lovely day, Hannah from Germany
First of all you are so not alone and we both will settle into our new routines more and more & second of all, this pepper trick sounds amazing....I think I get what you're saying but I might have to google it or have you give me some feedback to see if I am doing it right ;) Thanks so much for watching! 💕
I did not overcome anything in 2020, but I survived a really strong earthquake, loss of a very close person, 5 year relationship breakup and dropping out of medical school for my own good. Looking forward to 2021, so I can start overcoming it all, hopefully.
I would say you overcame quite a lot...or honestly better...grew a ton! Good for you for making decisions for yourself and looking forward, not back. Hope you're having a good week ❤️
I’ve been having a rough month too honestly. We are packing/moving because we bought a house and this is our last weekend to pack before our big move which I’m super excited for. But my cat legit just one minute ago broke my apartment complex blinds and I haven’t been doing much self care lately so I think tonight I’m going to pack more, make some dinner and really just relax.
It's crazy that I recently sent you a DM ranting about how much I lack motivation to study for my B-school prep and you unknowingly came up with this video. I have been feeling exactly how you did in this video. I guess this is a part of the path to success. Good luck to you Kiara. Your videos are motivational!
I'm feeling stressed af too! I'm in grad school and this semester is definitely the toughest. We can all get through this! We will persevere and get to our goals!! Love your videos!
I feel you, sis! This week has been overwhelming for me too. I feel like I have tons of assignments that never seem to be over 😫 Take care of yourself, always. ❤❤
One of the best videos in a while😘 The views while driving back from your parents is just beautiful and so peaceful......😍 I am back at my dorm but still attending online classes but thankful for everything that is going on around me and hope everything gets better and safe from now onwards.. Be safe and you can come through every situation much better than before 👍 Love you regardless anything else kiara 😘😍💕 This 2020 I am step ahead towards self love and happiness and overcoming a bit of trust issues after spending a lot of time at home with my family....
Your videos just give me such good inspiration! You are who I look up too because we both have the same exact career goals. 🥺💖💖 Keep doing good things!✨✨
I am so proud of you Kiara, it is going to be worth it for sure! For myself, I am proud of putting my fears of judgement for starting over later in life aside and joint back to college. I am 28 years old, on my second career path. I am half way through my double major curriculum for my Associates Degree in Medical Billing & Coding, along with my Associates Degree for Healthcare Administration. I was so happy to see people of ALL ages and backgrounds in my courses. Also, Happy Mental Health Day! (October 10) 💚
Miss Kiara. Girl, have done it again. Constantly raising the bar for us all, and doing it flawlessly. I’d say I’m surprised, but I know who you are. I’ve seen it up close and personal. Girl you make me so proud, and I love you

the "i just finished a long day of school and it's finally time to get in bed with my fairy lights on" vibes in this video make me so happy

Think like a man and apply for everything. Worst case: "no".
Best case: "can you come in for an interview?" *Contract offered*.
Congratulations.
Why does your busy night so calming to watch? Like you are productivity goals and it seems so nice to watch!
aww thank you! So glad you enjoy them! 💕

I feel like I have to be overwhelmed to be productive and feel too tired to take care of myself so I mostly watch UA-cam to make me feel better. My senior year sucks and I’m having to let go of a lot. I struggle with change. I look up to you a lot Kiara:)) thanks for letting me rant
Kiara I started crying when I watched this. I just finished my first week in training to be a behavioral therapist and I feel the same way. This video helped me feel less alone, I honestly feel like you’re the only person who really understands right now. Thank you for posting this, I feel like it was a god-send. I love you ❤️💕😘
I’m proud of overcoming depression. Still fighting anxiety but I’m SO happy that I’m in a much better place mentally 🤗
I find myself with the opposite problem. I am on a break from school and I’m constantly looking for stuff to do. We are all kind of down this year but at least we’re in it together!
Yes we are in this together! ♥️
You are such an amazing inspiration to all of us !! You’re so strong I love watching you!!! It brings me joy❤️😫
Kiara you are the cutest human! All those fabletics items look SO GOOD on you!!
Hi Kiara, since I live in the Czech Republic, the school system is quite different. I'm 18 years old, and now I'm a senior in high school. In June, I have a graduation exam from four classes in all four years. I'm going to college after my exam. Unfortunately, the situation with Covid has made it mentally challenging. I entered my senior year in September, and just yesterday we were notified that all schools in our republic were closing. So home schooling again and full of homework, no friends. It's horrible, and it's exhausting mentally. I wish you good health! 🧡 Lucy
Your videos make my day way better! I'm proud that 2020 makes me quit smoking and restart a healthy lifestyle
My life is basically a mess this year because of the pandemic. Lost my job but in a way it's almost a blessing in disguise because it was such a toxic work environment with no benefits. Overworked and underpaid. The trick is just finding a job now 😬
Your vlog is oddly making me miss school. I graduated from grad school several years ago but I continue to love learning and the structure of university life. I'm glad you found a path to achieving your academic and career goals that works for you. I'm looking forward to you showing us more about school in the medical field and work. I've always had an interest in the medical field but didn't pursue a career in it.
I have been feeling pretty stressed out lately about my college education. With Covid in all I have to wait to go to college bc they are charging full price for online college and I can't afford that if it's just online plus I have to do all my science classes with lab and that can't be done off campus. I am just playing the waiting game and I am been feeling overwhelmed because I am going pre med in college and Idk when I can go. But it's going to happen eventually and I am super excited for when it does! :) Thanks for letting me rant Kiara! I feel better just getting off my chest! ♥️
Yep things are prettyy tough rn. Can relate.
hang in there...it can really only go up from here 😂
Since we’re talking about what’s stressing us out. Where I’m from the school year starts in January and ends November/December. I’m in grade 12. So I missed almost 4 months of hands on learning. I start finals in less than a month. My mom lost her job because of Covid and I’m struggling to find a bursary for university. If I can’t get a bursary then I can’t study.
You have literally been my idol since ive been in hs
I’ve found that with online varsity it’s so easy to try to fill every hour with work and I feel guilty if I take a break. I’m seriously struggling to take time for myself, so this was a pretty good reminder to do so 😅 just remember that all your hard work will pay off, and it’s worth it 💕
Ahhh Im happy to see u doing what I do! (Im a nursing student too currently in my 3rd yr)
That's amazing! Keep working hard!
Kiara Madisen awee! you too!
I just moved from Portland to Ohio for my ABSN program and watching your clips of downtown made me miss PDX so much😭 Thank you so much for talking about self care. Since my program is accelerated I feel like I don’t have time for myself anymore but I am thankful for this opportunity to become a nurse.
Omg so excited for you! All my friends are in ABSN programs right now and they are so overwhelmed so that's normal! Keep taking care of yourself and doing things that make you happy. Sending you lots of good study vibes 💕
I love watching your videos they always motivate me to get my life together
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 yes yes yes to calming drives and making a nice dinner to recenter yourself
Kiara, I am just finishing OHSU's Acc Bacc program, let me know if you need any tips! I can say, without a doubt, taking the CNA course will be the best thing you ever did for yourself as a future nurse. All the steps to becoming a nurse in Oregon are tedious, but I promise, it will ALL be worth it! I'm in labor and delivery now, and every day I thank my past self for never giving up. You will be the most amazing nurse, please reach out if you have any questions about nursing in Oregon, being a CNA1 and 2, or the OHSU program. You've got this!
Wow thanks Sarah! You are living my actually dream (except I think I want to be in Peds or NICU, but who knows). I know that program is crazy competitive to get into, if there anything you feel like helped you stand out in your essays or during your interview that you would recommend? Also, do you recommend getting your CNA 2 license right after you get your CNA 1?
@@KiaraMadisen I think you'd LOVE the NICU! My best friend is there and it's my second choice. I feel like OHSU really values diverse life experiences over grades, so any volunteer work you did, jobs related to working with vulnerable people, etc. will really help! And for interviews, it really helped me to run through some practice questions and kind of compile a list of clinical stories I might want to reference. I also tried to be easy going and team focused, complimenting others' on their answers and not being super braggy or competitive. For the purpose of getting into school, CNA1 is fine, but if you want to work as a CNA either before or during nursing school, I'd definitely recommend CNA2 so you can be in a hospital and start making connections! I work at Center for Medically Fragile Children as a CNA2 and that job has gotten me so far in terms of having a leg up on experience in nursing school clinicals and making connections.
Sarah Dole wow thank you so much for your honest answer! So good to know! I’ve wanted to work at that center for fragile children for a long time so that might mean I have to get my CNA 2! Do you think it’s doable to work while in an ABSN program??
@@KiaraMadisen you should, it's SUCH a special place
@@KiaraMadisen Also just knowing you from your videos you have what it takes to do whatever you set your mind to, whether that be working during an accelerated program, or whatever! Good sleep hygeine, meal prep, being organized, and staying grounded is all it takes - and you've got all those skills down! Which truly make all the difference. So I wouldn't worry one bit!
Loved this vlog. So enjoyable and relaxing to watch☺️
So glad!
I have to say that, new video from your channel makes my day. Love from Brazil 🇧🇷
I’m proud of overcoming so much self doubt in 2020! With covid I really took time to work on myself and build myself up :) also I totally felt it when you said it’s hard to wake up early, do 6 hours of school, come home and do more because that is ME !! If anyone can make it through it’s you tho! Keep being AMAZING ❤️
Omg so proud of you! That takes a lot to overcome and it sounds like you are absolutely killing it! Way to go 💕
I am finally a nurse. No grad this year because of covid... the study part gets better, enjoy every part of the way.. YOU CAN DO IT!!!! 💪
Aww congrats!! That makes me so happy to hear...excited for the future :)
I really love kiara. She's so energetic and positive in life.
Aww thanks! I love you!
I’m feeling the exact same way cause I’m actually currently in the last year of pediatric nursing school in Germany
Keep hustling it’s worth it 😊
wow you must be so busy! I am so proud of you & excited to hear about your amazing future!
yesss!!! i love your video so much. they literally make me so productive!! lots of love from nyc
an instant mood lifter!
Love you Madisen.. I appreciate people like you in this world ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 💕
Kiara Madisen You’re Welcome Always ❤️❤️
Happy belated birthday 🥳🎂
Thank you!!
Believe it or not, it could be 100 degrees in phoenix from October 13-16!
You have no idea how happy your videos make me! OMG the stethoscope! 🩺 I am so excited for your nursing journey! I love you! ♥️🥰
rewatching one of your old videos where you talk about watching Don't F*ck with Cats. I'm from MTL and I live 4 blocks from that apartment building lol
What your fav go to starbucks drink hot and cold? Im looking for some new options!
Has the raining season in Portland started yet?
Love the video
YAY! Thanks for watching!
I am thankful for knowing an amazing person like you ❤️
Aww Love you!!
Im a junior at the university of Oregon right now and I feel so overwhelmed! I love watching your videos because nursing is something I think about all the time. Im trying to grow my instagram also to have a creative outlet as well. I have so many dreams
started my junior year of hs with 5 college classes and the lack of personal contact is killing me, we’ll all get through it though!
WOW. Go you, but also hope you're still breathing at the moment. I am so proud of you for powering through, don't forget to take care of yourself. Love you lots 💕
the song choices Kiara has are truly amazing , all the best for the journey ahead, all the love and support for India :)
Aww thanks so much Eva!
I’m in my master’s program which is Applied Behavior Analysis. I’m always working at a clinic full-time where I’m the Lead Registered Behavior Technician. One of my coworkers had to take a leave of absence for 2 months due to a family medical problem. I’m so happy I could step up and make that transition at work with our clients easier; however, I have so much on my plate and often times feeling very overwhelmed during the week and on the weekends due that me having to do most of my homework for my masters then. Thanks for the little vent sesh. Let’s me know I’m not the only one with a lot of their plate. I’m currently sitting on my front porch drinking coffee and this is my absolute favorite place to take a breather 🤍🤍
I'm so glad you're taking a break & venting! That's so admirable that you stepped up to help your coworker out! Hope you're having a relaxing weekend!
Kiara Madisen Thanks Kiara! I hope you are relaxing as well!!
I’m proud of making it to my second year of photography uni. It’s been rough, needing to only take self portraits or take pictures of my sister I’m living with, and just being very very limited in my options. School didn’t give a crap, and didn’t change the (final) assignments, so I’m proud of myself for making it through. I’m also proud of myself for still going back to college, eventhough I’m 22 and I had a pretty well paying job for the past 3 years. If anyone reading this is in the same situation, you got this, and you can do it 💜💜
Hi Kiara, as I had my first uni lecture today, I totally understand your situation. I feel quite overwhelmed with all the new tasks and routines. Everything being online doesn't help eighter. But I know that it will eventually get better as I settle into my new routine.
P.S.: when I saw you cutting the bell pepper I had to chuckle. I always cut it the way you do, but last week my cousin showed me a lifechanging way of doing it :) When you cut horizontally throgh the pepper an inch under the green part, you can easily pull the seeds out with your hand. To remove the stem you can just break it away from the yellow parts (the yellow looks like a donut then)
Just thought I would mention it, because it shook my world and makes cutting a pepper so much easier :)
Hope you have a lovely day,
Hannah from Germany
First of all you are so not alone and we both will settle into our new routines more and more & second of all, this pepper trick sounds amazing....I think I get what you're saying but I might have to google it or have you give me some feedback to see if I am doing it right ;) Thanks so much for watching! 💕
I did not overcome anything in 2020, but I survived a really strong earthquake, loss of a very close person, 5 year relationship breakup and dropping out of medical school for my own good. Looking forward to 2021, so I can start overcoming it all, hopefully.
I would say you overcame quite a lot...or honestly better...grew a ton! Good for you for making decisions for yourself and looking forward, not back. Hope you're having a good week ❤️
I’ve been having a rough month too honestly. We are packing/moving because we bought a house and this is our last weekend to pack before our big move which I’m super excited for. But my cat legit just one minute ago broke my apartment complex blinds and I haven’t been doing much self care lately so I think tonight I’m going to pack more, make some dinner and really just relax.
No one.
Kiera: making our day a trillion times better!❤️
I make vidz
OMG I had to do that same CPR online class... I thought it was so awkward lol. Especially in comparison to the in-person classes I've taken before!
You’ll read this on ur birthday. Happy birthday and hang in there. Always looking forward for ur videos. You’re def an inspiration ✌🏻
Thank you so so much!
I love your content :) thats all i have to say
It's crazy that I recently sent you a DM ranting about how much I lack motivation to study for my B-school prep and you unknowingly came up with this video. I have been feeling exactly how you did in this video. I guess this is a part of the path to success. Good luck to you Kiara. Your videos are motivational!
Omg yay! I am so behind on my DMs at the moment, but i hope you are doing well 😊
Haha yes I am! You please take care of yourself ❤️
I'm feeling stressed af too! I'm in grad school and this semester is definitely the toughest. We can all get through this! We will persevere and get to our goals!! Love your videos!
When will you upload an apartment tour? I can see snippets of what it looks like! I love that shelf thing beside your bedroom door!
❤❤❤❤
Your cooking is so good and is your birthday tommorrow?!
My birthday was a few days ago on the 7th! I filmed it, so stay tuned for the vlog!
I feel you, sis! This week has been overwhelming for me too. I feel like I have tons of assignments that never seem to be over 😫
Take care of yourself, always. ❤❤
I’m proud of myself that’s overcame my fear of jumping off of a diving board. Also love u Kiara! U are awesome!
Love that so so much 💕
Hi from Washington! Love pullover /puff jacket weather but it’s been in the 70s!?!? 🙃 love ur content ! 💛
Omg I know it's still so nice! I wear it super early in the morning when it's freezing...low key just waiting for the first snow to pop off 😂
One of the best videos in a while😘
The views while driving back from your parents is just beautiful and so peaceful......😍
I am back at my dorm but still attending online classes but thankful for everything that is going on around me and hope everything gets better and safe from now onwards..
Be safe and you can come through every situation much better than before 👍
Love you regardless anything else kiara 😘😍💕
This 2020 I am step ahead towards self love and happiness and overcoming a bit of trust issues after spending a lot of time at home with my family....
You got this Kiara! 🥺❤️
Where are your bowls from? I love the one you had for your dinner!
Target or Macy's! SO amazing...use them for everything!
Sooo how about we talk about how great this background music is 🙌❤️
omg yay! When I found that song I was like omg this is actually perfect!
I just passed my NLN exam(it's a nurse entrance exam) so now I can start nursing classes in the spring semester 🙌🙌
So proud of you! Congrats!
Your videos just give me such good inspiration! You are who I look up too because we both have the same exact career goals. 🥺💖💖 Keep doing good things!✨✨
I am so proud of you Kiara, it is going to be worth it for sure! For myself, I am proud of putting my fears of judgement for starting over later in life aside and joint back to college. I am 28 years old, on my second career path. I am half way through my double major curriculum for my Associates Degree in Medical Billing & Coding, along with my Associates Degree for Healthcare Administration. I was so happy to see people of ALL ages and backgrounds in my courses.
Also, Happy Mental Health Day! (October 10) 💚
Wow you go girl! That's so amazing...I think it's so important to do what makes you happy :)
Love your videos, they bring me back to life🥰
