preparing for a new term at oxford | reading 1500 pages, visiting high school

one week before term starts up again and 1500 pages to read...

hi friends!! I took a small break to spend time with family in my last days at home before moving back to oxford, but so happy to be back. hope you guys had an amazing start to the new year! in this vlog, I spend a week studying and doing a bunch of reading in preparation for the start of term. I also visited my high school to get my diploma and officially graduate high school 3 years late lol. and lastly, I spent some time reflecting on my time growing up in new york city which was very bittersweet.

You spending time with your brother is honestly so wholesome and pure.... 🤍✨🧸 He'll cherish and remember these moments (like the nerf gun fights 😂) forever... New core memories for him and you!

I love how aesthetically pleasing and motivating her channel is. She's officially now my favorite YouTuber 💞

I'm so proud of Jing for everything she's accomplished

As someone from an immigrant family, i really felt the part regarding travelling for 1-2 hours and the feelings of being overwhelmed from time to time. Really glad that im not the only one and such a great video:)

[kellash]

hey Jing your videos really inspired me because seeing you vlog your student lifestyle really motivated me to want to do better academically so that I can get into a uni. In fact, your videos are what got me thru the stressful days of writing uni applications and I am glad to say I've finished applying to all my dream universities! Please don't stop making these amazing videos!

[khalilahd.]

Wow Jing it’s incredible to see how far you’ve come! Seeing your journal and where your head is at really touched me. I’m beyond proud of you and all you’ve accomplished ❤

[TanKLoveR]

There's something very therapeutic about watching your videos, idk if it's the way you film your vlogs, just watching you go through life, the sort of vibe of it all or just your personality, probably all of them together, I was really glad when I saw you had uploaded a new video. Glad you were able to spend some time with your family and took a break from vlogging, must have been fun to go back to your old stomping grounds and see how some things have changed while others remain the same, looking forward to your return to Oxford.

Ever since Jing started uploading, I've seen an increase in the amount of effort I put into my work, and also an increase in my grades! Thank you so so much for all the inspiration you've spread the past few months. Keep going! 🥰

I really love the part of your videos where you make voice overs and every clip just flows..and the whole pretending you were a vlogger years back? it was so lovely..maybe you actually manifested the whole thing..you’re so amazing!!!💗

These are so relaxing to watch because you are just “being” naturally. On a side note, that gray set you wore to the café is so cute. Cool gray and off-white must be part of your seasonal color palette. I wish you luck in school! 💕
