What you said about constantly having to spin plates is so relatable. I'm the same, I can't concentrate if my flat's a mess and I swear after work all I do is tidy, just feels like you don't have the time of day anymore to do anything besides chores. But you hit the nail on the head, the best part of adulthood is definitely being able to do whatever you want!

I’ve lived in london a decade and I still feel like I’m making things up and putting out fires week by week. Adulthood still feels unmanageable at times, but less so with acceptance and gratitude. Welcome to the world!

I love this new spin on adulthood, the content is evolving as you are Eve.
Much love 💗

I’m 31, living on my own in London (zone 4 commuter town) & work full time. I can really relate to the spinning plates, & the constant routine of life can feel never ending & depressing. Love you & your videos. Enjoy Aus! 💜

You might not see this, Eve, but I'd like to tell you that you inspired me to learn German. Your first ever video of yourself speaking in German that you published 4 years ago was the main reason why I started learning German haha. It's amazing how time flies.

side note eve your skin looks so amazing and you look so glowy!!!

I graduated in 2019 and moved to London and you describe how I felt then so well. It really hit me emotionally and I felt quite alone at the time so happy you’ve articulated this so well! I will say, although the pandemic was generally shit timing for a new(ish) grad in London, the normalisation of home working helped massively in not feeling like my life was just work, commuting, washing up and laundry! So if after your course you can find a job with a hybrid working policy, that helps a lot in getting a bit of balance back

Liebe Eve, vielen Dank für das tolle Video! Dachte ich schreib mal auf Deutsch damit du in Übung bleibst :)
Mir hat es extrem gut getan, dir zuzuhören. Vor allem als du über die Struggle mit deiner neuen Routine und deinem neuen Alltag sprichst.
Ich hatte tatsächlich einige Monate keine Videos mehr von dir geschaut und war jetzt voll überrascht von den ganzen neuen Entwicklungen! Irgendwie konnte ich sehr gut relaten. Ich habe auch vor ein paar Wochen einen großen Wechsel in meinem Leben gehabt (habe meinen Studiudiengang gewechselt und bin umgezogen) und konnte viele deiner Gefühle gut nachempfinden. Bei mir war es viel der Gedanke "Und das ist es jetzt?" Also dieses Ankommen in dem neuen Alltag fällt mir auch sehr schwer. Vor allem wenn die "Magie" vom Anfang ein bisschen abschwächt und man wirklich im alltäglichen Leben ankommt. Danke nochmal fürs teilen, das kam genau zum richtigen Zeitpunkt. Ich wünsche dir alles Gute für die nächsten Monate und ganz viel Spaß in Australien!! Bin ein wenig neidisch geworden 😍😍

[alydamarincovich]

I think its going to be so good for you to explore Australia! I also high key feel the feeling of being lost after graduating bc I graduated in 2021 from uni and trying to figure out what to do while trying to sustain a social life and keep all the plates spinning is so hard, but its kinda nice to know that Im not the only one experiencing it. I personally have had an additional setback of starting a masters and then having to drop out bc the mental health was not having it and so having to now figure out if I should go back and try that again at a different college or what to do, while also sorting out friendships and a long distance relationship.

[florarawdy]

Yay! I'm from Melbourne, Australia and have watched you since before your A levels / getting into Oxford. So excited for you to come! You deserve the break! 🦘

[Merelvanpoucke]

I totally relate to how you feel, in January i moved to Paris for my studies, now I'm doing an internship there. It's my first time ever living by myself and it's so much to figure out and to do and it's overwhelming but enjoyable at the same time. So it's great to hear that i'm not alone in that

[beckyclarkson]

Completely relate! I'm on a placement year in London but commuting from my family home that's not too far out, but still a 1.5-2hr commute to my office. The life adjustment is massive - makes you realise just how much free time you have at uni! I'm lucky to be hybrid working so get about half the week in London and half at home but that varies especially with all the train strikes lately! Glad you've got some exciting plans on the horizon :P I'm most definitely looking forward to going back to uni for a year to finish my degree after my placement year, what's been really tough is seeing all my friends at uni doing their final year without me :( lots of love xx

hi eve! i've been a viewer for a few years now. i just wanted to give my 2 cents as a previous young journalist who changed her mind! i originally pursued a bachelor's in journalism in Boston and was introduced to radio journalism, which i adore & loved seeing you getting into that too. i ended up leaving after working for our radio for lots of reasons. then i graduated with a bachelors and sociology and jumped back into radio journalism pursuing an long fellowship and working with NPR! let me just say, i do adore journalism, however... i did leave for so many reasons but the most important being the low pay & intense amount of work for such little pay. i pursued linguistics and i have no regrets. the kind of money i'm making and the work i do i also adore & i'm so grateful. i miss journalism a lot but i still get to be a radio nerd! just wanted to normalize it's always ok to change your mind!! thanks for documenting your experiences!

Have you been to Battersea Spanish, it’s a language centre in SW London they do language classes, fitness classes and like socials for Spanish speakers. They are having a Christmas party too soon, might be a good way to top up your Spanish

I also find it very interesting how different your Uni experience was, for me Uni has been a very lonely place ever since I started. In German Uni system we don't live on Campus but many of my Uni friends live 1-3 hours away from me. I also have a hard time with finding new friends every semester as we can skip exams and do them in the next year etc. which led to all my friends doing completely different courses and being at completely different stages in our degree even though we started at the same time. I honestly really miss school where I just had my solid group of friends around me 😂

[heyitsanna]

hey eve, I feel exactly the same! I graduated uni this year and moved straight to London on my own as I got a job at global in radio and since June life has genuinely been so fast paced and its the same!! hope your journo course is going well, you are smashing itttt!!! x

[emilygriffiths]

Totally agree with the feelings after uni. The next year or two after is very starnge and overwhelming with feeling unsure on what's next, lacking that routine and purpose that comes from it and the social life definitely is missed. But then on the flip side as you say enjoying the freedom after uni as an adult, away from uni pressures so certainly some highs and lows very normal, not unusual but can be hard to navigate 😀😅. All the best and enjoy your travels, will be amazing!!

[Cupcakiiiii]

First Molly announced she would move to Australia and now you will go as well next year. Can't wait for all the Australia content! I would love to go travel after I finish Uni, can't wait to be done!

Regarding languages: Maybe you could listen to news podcasts in Spanish or German?

[GraceVictoria]

I felt so lost after finishing my degree this year! However I literally started my full time job 2 weeks ago and now that I’ve got a routine back it’s so much better! Don’t give up ❤
