I remember my lecturer telling me once that university was the easy part, graduating is when the hard part really begins.
oof, so true!!
Indeed and after 2 years of grinding it was all worth it :) you got this@@UnJadedJade and everyone else!
During my studies I often wished that I would have more time to do certain things. I would then write these things down and this way I ended up with a list of things that I wanted to do but never had the time for. Now that I'm graduated I picked out the two most important things and that's where I invest my time in right now. Doing this really helped me after graduating
Hi Jade, I was a mature student at uni (at 22 😂) and graduated this year and due to planning months in advance I had a job that I started a month after graduating. I couldn’t wait to see the back of uni it was so stressful and I had a lot of horrible people and fake friends throughout the 4 years. I haven’t retained anybody from uni! I am proud of my accomplishment due to being deaf and autistic it certainly was a struggle. I like the people I work with but planning on leaving because the job is mucking me about. I’m glad you mentioned about just going for something else if it’s not working out. We are all still young, even at 26, I can do this next step and do something else if that doesn’t work out!
HUGE congrats graduating!! ✨ and yesss 26 is still so young. Good luck figuring out the path that makes you feel most fulfilled
age is just a number , we can do what we want at any age... im 34 and love your vids jade!!🍀@@UnJadedJade
You’re killing it with the uploads lately, Jade! I love how you give such big sister energy and give hope to those who don’t feel it! ❤️
Awhh thank you so much 🥹 I've been loving putting less pressure on my channel and just posting videos that I feel I needed 🦋 lots of love
For anyone watching this who hasn’t graduated I wanted to share my hopefully positive take: since graduating I have been SO much happier, more fulfilled, and I have better friends and hobbies now than I ever did at university. There is a narrative that “uni is the best time of your life” and it is for some people, but it wasn’t for me and if it isn’t for you, know it can get better ❤
Jadee this could not have come at a better time. I just graduated uni, achieved a few things i never thought i could, compromised a few things here and there. And now here i am completely lost, without any structure having crisis after my 9-5 doing things I dont really like just to have social life in new city. Im so excited for this video, I'll get some piping hot tea and sip on it. Thank you Jade
enjoy your tea ☕️ we've got this!!
Jade you're voice is so sweet & comforting, I can listen to it for hours. I love your optimistic perspective on this subject, and absolutely admire you're positive outlook on life, thank you, you made my day 🦋
You look amazing as always. You'll always have our support no matter what happens.
I'm thankful for these types of videos as they remind me that other people are also going through this "uni rut" or "breakup" if you will. It's been 4 months since graduation and that feeling is still there. I'm really trying to get over it and getting myself out there; so hopefully my time comes soon! 😩♥️
I've been watching you since you were doing your aLevels and I was in year 12. I've also graduated this year and felt stuck after moving back home. This video really said what I needed to hear. Thank you
I LOVE YOU JADE , wishing you the best for the future x You always motivate me to study !!💓
Hey Jade, you are an incredible person. YOU INSPIRE ME.
Lots of love❤️❤️ and virtual hugs 🫂🫂
Thanks jade, i really feel calm and focused when i am watching your videos , and also thanks for the subtitle as non-native English speakers 🤩, your uploads are heart-touching and speak s for everyone keep up the good work
I really needed this to get some perspective on what's going on with my life since I'm experiencing the same situation. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Rlly needed to hear that sleeping at 4am and having a messed up sleep schedule is not it 😂 Thanks for the video Jade and for the subtitles !! xx
Jade, congratulating from University can be stressful because one does not know what they want to do with their lives. You are used to studying for a degree for several years and after graduation, a change occurs and change can be very stressing.
Just submitted my final assignment last night and already feel lost with what to do next, thank you Jade for making this video!
Wow that playlist tip is helpful, I also have a playlist for each memory at university. I agree that mourning and accepting our feelings are important. Routine and purpose. Thanks. This is just what I needed.
This is the video I just needed ✨ Thank you Jade !!
Have you guys graduated? How was the transition for you? Do you have advice for avoiding the "post-grad depression" that so many young people fall into? Your stories are so so helpful to inspiring others!! 💌🥹🤝
ALSO I'm so intrigued to hear whether you find the on-screen subtitles helpful or not. I thought I'd try them out to make my videos more accessible, but let me know if you prefer optional RUclips-generated captions instead! x
Sending big big hugs as always!! 💛
Yeah, I was wondering why they weren’t optional. I’d prefer that, they were a bit of a distraction ngl, maybe that’s just me tho
Thank you! I've been in a post-graduation rut since I graduated in March. I needed this video. I felt so exposed at 03:24. Yup, that was me for a while. Hi!
Regarding on-screen subtitles: I think it is a great idea for accessibility. I enjoyed it. One issue that could happen is the overlapping of subtitles if someone wants to use the RUclips-generated subtitles in another language.
Perhaps you could change to the RUclips subtitle things where it is optional but not the automatically generated ones because they provide… interesting subtitles.
Personally I don’t mind, subtitles are LIFE but I can see why other people wouldn’t want it
Thank you for the motivation
It's so difficult to avoid honestly. I'm glad you have time to slow down and process the big shift in your life. Good luck figuring it all out
Thank you, Jade, for your inspiring video ❤
Whoa, I wish I'd seen this when I finished university, it's even cathartic to listen to years later. What a beautiful video, thanks Jade
I'm so glad it resonated 💌
I'm actually really glad that at least for me and other nursing students, we already have our purpose for why we're studying a nursing degree and so that by the time I finish in 2026, I will become a RN with the NHS and start to look at the options I have. I'm considering either doing an 18 months cross-over to children's nursing, or specialising in cardiology.
watching this an hour after i just got your book 🌻
i love this. i do think that this is an ableist notion that you can just move and do anything. as an autistic person, when i have had to work in a public space, i spend the weekends in bed most of the time as i am too overwhelmed.
I was same boat with graduation after, I went back home and I mourned . I had many of the point you mention. Inspiration, support, kept in touch with friends. Routine not has much. Improve each month. I had no job. Since I was looking forward to another country to pursue of goal of mine of learning a language.
So so grateful for the consistent subtitles Jade!!!
Awhh thank you for expressing this! I'm trying to work out if they're preferable or not as some people mentioned that they're distracting? Trying to make my content more accessible!! x
@@UnJadedJade Might be more preferable to the masses to have them in the captions option (English subtitles rather than CC) where they can be toggled on and off, rather than edited onto the video, but either way, the effort is really appreciated!
Please share your haircare routine! Love how you style your curls
i am watching this is my 30s having finished my degree!! i am planning on doing a phd in bat conservation! loved this video jade!
inspirational queen xxxx
your videos are so helpful
I'm glad you can focus on your RUclips channel because I love watching the vids! :)
Awhh thank you so much!! 🥰 it's been amazing have more time to post
I'm here for all the post-grad content jade uploads as I'm gonna graduate next year!!..
Aaaah so exciting!! Enjoy your last year of uni 💌
So positive and helpful
Great video!
Hi Jade!!
I completed uni in April and have been working full time since then with barely any break. I freelance in the film and TV industry so work super long hours. It won’t be long until I have some time off, I’m going to dedicate 2 weeks to not working and just try fill it with wonderful things and fully process leaving uni and going into the adult world. If anyone has any ideas of nice things I could do I’d appreciate it! Just going to do little things like practice yoga, go on hikes, get my nails done, maybe get my hair done, travel a little bit etc.!
If you’re crafty maybe find a local craft shop/studio and do a session! I have a local pottery shop where you can paint the pieces yourself or another studio where you spin the pottery yourself which is super cool. Or a knitting, crochet, felting workshop or something similar as I imagine you probably can’t do something like that with your normal work hours (ok so my grammar is appalling but we vibe :) enjoy your time off!
@@anavidreader277 I definitely need to unleash my creativity somehow and do something crafty! I haven’t avidly done crafts since I was a teen and would love to get back into it. I did some pottery for my birthday but I might go back and do some more as I forgot about it, that sounds great! Thank you for this! Haha it’s all good, my grammar is probably awful too! :)
Hi please can you tell me where your butterfly necklace and ring are from?
Like every machine has a catalogue which tells u about its use and"purpose"
Humans are also given that catalogue from their CREATOR and that's their purpose without it we are lost!
"If you don't have much money... work hard and get a job" is giving "we all have the same 24 hours in a day" Jade - you know it's not always as easy as that
meritocracy is indeed a myth (!), but I think it's important not to adopt a victim mentality where we believe that certain options are just never available for 'people like us'. there are SO many opportunities (which of course, are accessed more easily by certain people) and the first step is to even believe that you're worthy of attaining them
FREE PALESTAINE 🇵🇸🇵🇸
And when you didn't like your university experience that much, spent 3 months in a little town without friends, money and nothing to do counting the days for september because on 13th september you'd start masters and you're gonna start looking for a job, because you only have classes on wednesday and thursdays at the end of the day... Then september arrives, you start classes, start looking for a job and nothing appears... Now I don't feel any strenght to start anything related with the masters and can't handle anymore time with economical problems :')
I just had an ad for Minerva Uni before starting this video!! Very cool :)
Any advice on what kinda activities/clubs to join that people in their early twenties attend because there’s only really under 18 clubs or like 70+ knitting club (don’t get me wrong I love knitting and old people) I can’t seem to find any tangible things to attend :/
i've personally found climbing to be a really good way to meet people as a graduate, I've managed to find a group of people aged 18-29 that i just really get on with and can do things with outside of climbing too. I'd say just pick a hobby you think you'll enjoy and try to put yourself out there! Good luck :)
Im in my post high school phase. I graduated a year ago but I’m planning o trip to Spain in 2024 cause I’m learning Spanish so hopefully that all works out. I’m terrified but I want to try!
🔥📝
me, in a rut for more than a year now 👁👄👁
(this whole video attacked me)
Just not to be rude or anything, but I really dislike subtitles I can't control. Like permanent subtitles. Maybe its just me, but I think putting it into YT so I can turn them on and off would be as much work for you post filming as the option you have now... So maybe switch?
Ooh thank you so much for the feedback! I'd be intrigued to hear more opinions on this. I've been trying out on-screen captions as I thought they might be clearer 💌
I agree. It would be better to have them on RUclips as an option so everyone can choose what they prefer!
Jade this video is so good but having embedded subtitles is really annoying
okay noted thank you so much for the feedback!!! 🤝💌
15:15❤
JADE, your amazing my darling! I want for you to be a baby nurse! I think it fits you perfectly! You are so great at being a caring person and your caring nature! Go for being an RN a registered nurse my darling! I love you Jade!
Okay, so I like most of this video, but the whole "it's just about choosing to" part kinda rubbed me the wrong way. It sounds a lot like the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" capitalist mentality I very much despise. I know you probably didn't mean it in that way, but still...
I pray for Israel ❤
