Walking straight
Until I realize
I just wanna make things right
Walk
Keep us on the road
Try to find what we had before
Can't just park at night unless they're gone
Won't you stop
Don't you shut us down
I'm equipped with the maybe third coffee of the day
I don't recommend this
I only slept from 1 to 5.30-ish in the morning
So I'm struggling
But I have a group meeting in a couple hours
I just finished Planner Monday
I had my last HR class
It's kinda crazy
It's coming to an end, folks
This is the last week of classes
So I'm feeling a lot of things right now
I don't know
It's honestly just so strange
That I'm having my last classes ever
I remember my first math class that I took in university
I got off the phone with my mom
And started bawling
And saying things to her like
I don't know if I belong here
Blah blah blah
I was so terrified
And here you go
Four years later and I managed to somehow graduate
Where I'm not going
So I'm taking you along this week
You're probably gonna hear a lot more of me
Just reflecting on the past four years
Because that's the state that I'm in this week
I feel very nostalgic about all the memories that I've had here
I mean I still have like a month of exams
So it's not completely coming to a close yet
I still have work to do
But this is big
Or it feels big
I have changed for what feels like the millionth time today
But I have about 10 minutes before I'm supposed to leave for a meeting
And instead of wasting that time
I'm actually gonna respond to some emails
Key to doing YouTube and school
Is to make use of those weird pockets of time
Where you're just waiting to do the next thing
And that's when I do a lot of the not so fun YouTube stuff
Like emails
Winter came back to Canada and it's rude
Just saying
I am home now in the pajamas
And I actually had a meeting this afternoon
With one of my groups
It's like a two hour meeting
And it feels so weird
We're gearing up towards the end of our project that's due on Thursday
I actually have some work to do on that
I have to talk about social media ideas for Hudson's Bay Company
Just kind of nuts that
I feel like my life is gonna look so different a year from today
It's not gonna be studying like I normally do every March-April season
I'm not gonna have assignments to worry about
Or group meetings
Or any of that
That's gonna be a closed chapter
And I'm gonna have
Like my reality is gonna be something different
Which is
For those of you who don't know
Who don't follow me on Instagram
I am gonna do a whole video about talking
About the next steps after university
But I am gonna be going full time with YouTube
Also, if you have any university questions
Or questions about transitioning from university to adult life
Please let me know in the comment section down below
I'm also gonna ask on Instagram stories
And hopefully I can do a video or two
Kind of tackling that subject
Now I must go work and do things like the adult that I am
Lalalalalala
That was so weird
Okay, we're done now
My last lecture at least
Early
Good job
Good morning
It is Thursday morning
And I'm currently reviewing a 20 page report
The Hudson's Bay project that I've been talking about
That I've been working on
It is finally done
Today we're presenting
It's like a 9 minute presentation
So that is not gonna be quite the worry
But I'm just reviewing the document
And then it will be off my plate today
Couldn't be more happy about it
This is what we're dealing with
Right now I'm on page 7 of 20
And quite honestly
I am over this report
Today we also have to present it
It's like a 9 minute presentation
I think I'm only talking for like a minute and 15 seconds
But I do have to review my part so that it goes fast
Because I think we're gonna be quite cut off
At the 8 minute mark
So I don't wanna exceed my time slot
I also have to print this assignment today
I have to start studying for my midterm on Saturday
This is technically also my last class today
My last undergraduate day of school
Because tomorrow or Fridays I always have off
So I can't believe it's over
I am feeling a little odd that this is gonna be my last class
Because I think I'm just gonna be focused so much on the presentation
And I won't really have the time to absorb it
Honestly this whole week I've just been going to class
And I say like oh my god it's the last class
But I don't really believe it yet
And I don't know why that hasn't set in
But I'm sure it will at some point
It'll be a delayed settling in
This right here is the printed project
I'm holding 30% of my group's grade
In my hands right now
No pressure
This is our presentation
I'm just going to give it an extra staple
Okie dokes
Consider this visual evidence
Video evidence of me packing the assignment
Securely
Placing it in my bag
It's in there
Oh my god stop it you're making me crave donuts
Maybe I'll get one to celebrate after my class tonight
Yes
Last day
I know right
It is Friday morning
I'm about to do my makeup
And I thought I'd do a little chatty situation
So yesterday after my last class of undergrad
The strangest thing happened
I've never seen this before in my time at U of T
But there was a campus wide power outage
So I was on the 12th floor at Robards
Which if you've been to Robards
There's always a lot of people on each floor
Especially during this time of the year studying
And everything just went out
And then we were told to evacuate and take the stairs
It's very odd
U of T was just making my last day a little bit more interesting
But before I had gone into Robards
I was on the phone after I got out of my last class with my mom
And when I was on the phone I actually told her
Oh my god I am at the bench
And the bench that you're seeing a clip of right now
Is the bench that I sat on with my parents
I think on my first day at coming to U of T
And I remember sitting on that bench just thinking
Holy ---- this is my life now
And I was so intimidated
Because when you're a first year student
You just don't know what to expect
And I was excited but I was so nervous
And I remember sitting on that bench just watching people
Walk by with backpacks on and being like
Oh my god this is
It just hit me how real it was
And the fact that on my last day of university
I ended up in that same spot
Just felt like such a full circle moment
Now being in that same location four years later
Those same feelings aren't there anymore
Because I have experienced university life
And I survived
And it's just such a weird contrast between first year me
But yeah I just thought it was really funny
That I ended up in that same spot
I swear the universe puts you in places
Things happen for a reason
Because that just felt like a moment
That I was supposed to experience
I'm about to do my makeup and stuff
I've actually been up for a couple hours
It's like 9 o'clock right now
But I was on the phone with my cousin Nikki
And her boyfriend Matt
They just got a dog
Follow my cousin
I'm sure she's posting about Cashew like crazy on her Instagram
I think actually Cashew has her own Instagram
So go check out Cashew
Give her some love
I'm super excited
Because I feel like for the past few years
I felt like I'm supposed to be a dog mom
Which is so funny
Because growing up I was terrified of dogs
But I just felt like that's something
That's supposed to happen in my future
Not anytime soon
Because I can't have dogs in this apartment
On the agenda today is to study for mythology
Because I have an exam tomorrow at 9am for it
Haven't started studying for it
Not panicking
I only really need to get a 13% though
Because I credited, no credited mythology and cinema
And what that means is that
You just have to pass the course
It's a credit that still counts towards graduation
But because it's not something
That's counting towards my major
Which is management
Or my minor, economics
Or my focus, marketing
I can credit, no credit it
Because it's an elective
Get two credits worth of credit, no credit at U of T
And that just basically promotes people
To try out different subjects
Without the threat of it hurting your GPA
So whatever I get on this course
Isn't going to affect my GPA
Not that I really even need to protect my GPA
Because I am becoming a YouTuber after school
Yesterday I felt like it was so weird
Being in class and realizing
That I'm never going to have that classroom setting again
And the one thing I really do love about classrooms
Is that you do, especially now in fourth year
I've gotten to know a lot more people in my program
So you have been in sometimes multiple classes
With some people and you get to know them
The pattern of going to class and seeing people
And asking how their week's been
And chit-chatting with new people all the time
I really love that aspect of university
And I did something on the back of my mind
That now, especially that I'm working for myself
I think if I was working for a company
I know I would get that in the workplace
Or you'd hope you would
But because I'm working for myself
I guess one of my concerns about
Going full-time with YouTube
Is what's that going to do to me socially?
Thankfully for the time being
I know there are people in the city
That I can get together with and hang out with
Maddie
Even though Andrea is moving out
Which I don't know if I've talked about yet here
Andrea will be moving out at the end of the month
So I am going to be living on my own
As of May 1st
Something that hasn't settled
And that's going to be a whole other obstacle
To kind of leap over
But Andrea will be in the city in the fall
One of my best friends Nadine
Is also coming to do her Masters at U of T
So she's going to be here for the next two years
There are people around
But it's just something that
I am going to have to be a little aware of
I'm going to put on some mascara
And then get my hair in order
I wish I had the type of hair
That could just be beautiful when I wake up
I took a shower last night
And that always means
That I become a lion in the morning
I'm reviewing a vlog
Of me reviewing a vlog
How meta is that?
I don't know I find this oddly funny
Look at this
This is weird
Okay I'm going to stop now
I just finished doing an interview for a podcast
They were asking me a ton of questions about
YouTube and juggling student life
So I think it went well
That's over
I got some studying to go do now
And I don't want to study
But I have to
I have to study
It's so hard
I think I'm going to test my luck
Of going to Robarts today
Hopefully it doesn't shut down again
Like it did yesterday
I feel like if I stay in this apartment
And study
I'm not going to be as effective as I could be
Unfortunately
It's much cozier here
What did you say?
I heard the end of it
Don't worry
No now you have to tell me
It's not important
Okay I'm trying to learn about
Zeus and the abduction of Europa
That's not the response
Does it?
Nope
Ugh damn
Did you know that Zeus disguised himself
As a white bull
So that he could abduct Europa?
Yeah that's the answer
Right?
Good for him
Good for him right?
Um what time do you usually wake up on the weekends?
Like I need a wake up call
Just to make sure I'm up tomorrow
My exam's at 9
So can you make sure at 7
You call me?
Because I need to wake up Maddie
And I might even ask Matthew
If he wants me to call him
I want to be awake
Our 9am exams
It's going to be fine
I'm so excited to be done mythology
I'm so excited to be done in general
Yeah that's fair
I just looked at Maddie
And I'm like oh my god
2019 grad that's us
That's literally us
What?
I don't know
Should I buy that?
I don't
That doesn't feel right
It's been a few hours
Since I finished my exam this morning
Went perfectly okay
Um ended up doing lunch
With Maddie and Andrea
Went to chapters
And did a few errands
And I also just went out now
After some time back home
To pick up a few treats for tonight
Because I feel like I deserve it
So I got these smart sweets
Swedish fish
The whole package only has 3 grams of sugar
And they are so delicious
Also I'm trying this out for the first time
This is a vegan double chocolate cookie
It is from the brand
Sweet from the earth
It is dairy and egg free
It's GMO free
Nut free
So many free things
Um and I've heard really good things
About this brand
So probably going to be my dessert
I also saw this little baby sized
Like this is my hand
This is a little snack sized bag
Of the cauliflower puffs
I love vegan Rob's
Um cauliflower and
Brussels sprout puffs
But usually I have to buy the full big bag
Which is fine
But these are so addictive
That I am always tempted to have the whole bag
So I'm glad that these snack sized options
Are available because
It will control my temptation
And then I also got
Some silk almond creamer
And this is vanilla flavored
It's for coffee
It's pretty self explanatory
I use these a lot
Today I also picked up this dog toy
From HomeSense
It is a little dragon
And I got it because
My cousin Nikki as I mentioned earlier in the vlog
Got a dog and I want to give her
A little toy
Because she's a puppy
She's probably just chewing on anything
And everything
And I'm also hoping
This makes her love me
Today I went on a little shopping adventure
For Maddie's birthday gift
It's her birthday next week
So I got her a few things
But while I was out
I also picked up some skin care goodies
For yours truly
Because I love skin care
And it's probably the thing that I get most tempted to buy
Every time I'm at Sephora
But this time I actually only got one thing from Sephora
And the rest I got from
The Abnormal Beauty Company
They have a store right in Yorkville
First thing I got was a caffeine solution
This is supposed to go underneath your eyes
You use it during the morning
And the night
And it's supposed to help with puffiness and dark circles
I also got
This Alpha Arbitune
Serum, I have no idea what that is
And this is supposed to help
With hyperpigmentation and dark spots
The employee actually helped me choose this
And then this
Is an acne treatment
It is a Sulcidic Acid 2% solution
And the employee
Told me that this is really strong
So you just use it as a spot treatment
The three of these together
I think ended up being $23 with tax
Which is really good for three skin care products
I've dabbled into
The Ordinary before but I haven't used
A lot of their stuff
So I'm excited to give these a go
And then from Sephora I picked up
This Kale and Green Tea Spinach Vitamin
Superfood Cleanser
Comes in this cool bottle, looks very neat
And yeah
It's a cleanser and I read reviews online
And people seem to really like it
So I'm excited to give it a go
And this was $12 so I love the fact that
These skin care pieces are a little bit more affordable
Because skin care can get
Really pricey
Hopefully they all work for me
