    I absolutely agree with the "living for the weekends" thing, it's a very unhealthy mindset to have! I try to fight that by waking up early and doing my morning routine, it takes away the feeling of "all I do is work"

    Amazing vlog - wish I heard that advice before graduating. I would add that it's ok (normal even) to not get your dream job out of school. Until you've worked in an industry it's hard to know what you like/dislike. Your early 20's should be a time to learn and grow - if it's not the right fit don't be afraid to pursue a new opportunity! Love the chat at the end, too. Rachel is a real one, ya'll! 🌿

    I love Michelle Reed too. Been watching her videos since January 2020. My first job was in accounting but have been working 20 years in a credit union. Have learned a lot in different areas. Despite that, I am tired and wonder what else can I do with my life. I remember feeling life like such a routine after graduating. My besties moved to the states and I (the one born and raised in NY) am still in PR. I have been walking at the track during the week with my little girl, to make my work week meaningful. Helps a lot plus waking up before 5:30am (only week days) 😉

    I think it's SO important to talk about post-grad blues.... I feel like I'm the opposite of everyone, I worked full-time throughout college so the idea of graduating and not having SO much on my plate was so exciting & I was honestly excited to just work a 9-5 and not balance everything else.... But I feel like I'm the rare exception LOL.... also YES to not using your major... me with my useless psychology degree hahahahhahahha

    1. everything you said about transitioning to life post-grad “mundane life, not being able to wake up when you want” is soooo true. I’ve definitely struggled with it, even now 2 years later… 2. Love the mindset of doing meaningful tasks during the weeknights is SO GOOD. 3. The closing words of wisdom you shared is everything ❤️ I appreciate that you clarified that finding our hope in God doesn’t mean we will have the “picture perfect” peace and joy that is portrayed in mainstream media.

    Agreed with everything you said about post grad life. I call the first year out of college my blue period lol but I actually really enjoyed living at home and figuring out adult life. Like you, I was a finance major and don’t use it. But I’m so glad I got my degree because I learned so much more! Love your vlogs 💕

  • @seray8017

    Oh, so true that when you said that: "you may not use your major" In my opinion, it can be difficult to accept that reality but sometimes it's just something else you gotta do. Besides that, we should'nt restrict ourselves to "not to do something else" maybe you'll be even better

    Nice vlog! Your dilemma about the house painting is the best😁 Among all the million of similar tones, I wish you to find a right one!
    As for the transition from college to full-time job, I agree with all your points. It's really important to explore yourself, your interests, talents and aspirations, otherwise adult life would be really hard on you. And also my advice is not to think that some job is impossible to achieve. In my case it was a movies translator. All my life I've liked movies, TV series, and I wanted to be connected to it somehow. My English was not bad at school, so I decided to get a linguist (translator) degree, and then through trial and error I started translating all kinds of TV series from English into Russian professionally. It took time and efforts, but I did it, and now I'm doing my best to be a better specialist.
    In conclusion I say that, in my opinion, adult life is much more interesting and real. It is the time when you can truly find yourself and learn yourself better. It's a big development!

    As much as I agree with you about not using our major for work being normal, I still think it's just wrong in hindsight. Yes we still get priceless experiences during our college days, but to spend an incredible amount for something that you won't use in the future is such a huge loss and ppl be turning a blind eye on that. Heck, sometimes we use the non-academic experiences in college more in our work. It's unfortunate that we have to follow it just so we can qualify for a job that won't even use our major for work.
    In other words, the school system is wack.

  • @thebirchtree8871
    @thebirchtree8871 3 роки тому +1

    Loved this video! Being someone who’s been in the working world a few years now, my advice to my younger self would be, if you are at a job where you have colleagues and a boss who treat you right and support you and are kind, do not take it for granted, even when the work might seem boring at times. Sadly that is not the case in most jobs. I think it’s much more important WHO you work with than WHAT you work with. You could have the dream job but be surrounded by toxic people and it will make daily life so difficult. Btw, would you say that devotional is worth getting? Thinking of it. Thanks.

If you are not born with a sliver spoon and not work you'll ended up poor and not going to pay all the bills and it won't stop. I resigned thinking that I am happy not doing anything will help me get over depression but I was wrong. Looking forward to work in an office with a nice view. Lol God bless and I am so encouraged with your vlogs and excited to have new work soon.

    I can only speak for myself, but my transition from university to full-time work was actually quite easy. I worked part-time during my college/university days (in order to pay my tuition), so whenever I wasn't at school, I was at work. That all ended when I graduated and found a full-time office job. I didn't have to stress over where I should be anymore or what time my part-time retail shift started or ended anymore. I knew when I was supposed to be at work and I knew when I was supposed to be at home. There were clear boundaries, y'know?
