sophomore year so far: balancing school & work, finding joy in little things, relearning how to live

life has been weird lately. i don’t want to go into too much detail about my private mental health struggles, but something i love about vlogging is that it encourages me to seek out every little thing in my life that bring me just the slightest drop of happiness. so this vlog is about a week in my sophomore year at university. adjusting to in person college life, going to class, going to work, trying to figure out how to live.

As someone who attends this school it’s so weird seeing all the places I go to! I actually saw you one day and I was taken aback! What a small world!

To the *worthwhile person* seeing this, your dream is not dead. Don’t allow the past and current pains and hurts stop and define you. You’re more than a conqueror. Rise up and put yourself together. Keep pushing your future depends on it. I wish you all the best in life ❤️.

Finding joys in everyday life is really important. When things get overwhelming, it helps to focus on these little joys and just savour them. Honestly a lot of the time these little sweet moments are overlooked, which is why it makes me happy that you’re spreading this message hehe. You don’t need to have lots of big dates in the calendar to enjoy life and that’s commonly misunderstood :)

wacthing studyquill, linh troung, dobochobo, and seeing them reference to each other in videos is just another reminder that influcers are people just like us(but way cooler)😂

Finding joy in little things is such a valuable practice. It allows us to practice gratitude and live our life more mindfully. Thank you for inspiring us by sharing your experiences!

Thank you I needed this in my life. I've been having a rough time with high school, applying for college, and dealing with the loss of my grandma. It's really been hitting hard this time of year. This video helped me feel better :) Thank you, glad to see you're doing well <3

[adrienneislost]

recently, i've been panicking about school since i'm going into highschool next year and they make you do a "four-year plan" when i don't even have half a clue what my plan is for life and so that really scares me, but i've been watching your videos recently and they really help :) thank you so much, you're one of my favorite people on youtube <3

[leliarhodes]

I always love to see you post, Jasmine! I know life is busy and school is keeping you on your toes, but I wanted to let you know how grateful I am every time you upload. You really brighten my day. :)

i really like this video! so many yt people film a week in their life when they're doing fun things, but seeing an actual realistic college week was so refreshing! it's cool that you have a whole cleaning day and routine, i can't wait to do stuff like that in college

[wanderexe]

I can't put to words how much I loved and needed this video. As a fellow UCLA student looking at this let me take a step back and try and enjoy the little too :') so thank you Jasmine

OKAY OKAY WAIT i think it’s time to pop the question: what were your thoughts on RED (TV)? because i’m still not over it (i mean, who is 😭)

welcome back to our favorite study youtuber!

[eden]

This couldn't have come at a better time I'm not even kidding thank you SO much! 😭💕

[batsybear]

my adhd has been whacking me upside the head lately, and the only way for me to get motivation for the day-by-day is to watch other people go through theirs. being in such an online era makes it easy for it to seem like you're alone in your tasks and work, so this helps me a lot. i hope you're doing well, and thank you again ^-^

[iterumm]

i just finished my semester yesterday but wow it’s so strange seeing such a big campus !! i go to a small university with ~1000 people so the fact that you guys have multiple libraries is crazy

[livlikesrides]

having fresh flowers in your room can sometimes make all the difference, it’s cool to see that it seems like that’s a priority on your shopping list. happy new year!

[amazingworld]

Finally you're back. Hope you're doing well jasmine. Finding joy in little things is a valuable practice. Your vlog was so pleasing to watch. Thank you for sharing it with us! 💖

[khalilahd.]
