whenever im struggling to find something to watch i always come back to jack's first year, it makes me so happy to see the amazing journey he's been on and how much he's achieved :)
I've just found your channel and in your current situation as a third year university student, think it's so amazing you've logged your time at university and I wish I had the same idea. Watching your journey now and seeing how different it has been to mine! Love your motivation and drive:)
omg same! i am watching his vlogs to have a sense of what the first year would look like and so far, i'm not sure what i'm feeling. i am hella excited and also terrified at the same time
I've applied for English Literature at Durham, it's such a tense wait for offers as they give out the majority after January! Loved watching this vlog, it's so helpful to hear advice from current students. Best of luck for this year! X
Don't worry if you don't receive your offer for a little while - I didn't get mine until the end of March as I'd been pulled from the college I applied to and given a place at a much better one! Good luck :)
Never watched your videos before but this randomly appeared in my recommended. Weirdest thing watching clips of my home city on your vlog, especially when I'm now studying at the university of Sheffield 😂
So jack, the first vide we ever watched of yours was your room tour back at your home. It's lovely to see that you've still got some of those things from your home bedroom in your new room. However we don't see that black egg timer you had. We loved that! Saw one at TK Max but it was far to small. Did you bring it up with you? Also we did the same with the house plant sale! Got loads for the cafe we work at near the cathedral. Also don't be worried about Vlogging in Durham because it's not even a thing, most people will think your just a tourist . . . You'll soon know exactly what we mean haha. Super pleased your enjoying Durham. Feel free to pop in to Cafédral for a free coffee on us! It's the one wth the blue door and blur church pews outside. We work Monday to Friday so come then. Not in for the next two weeks though. Haha! Also, don't get too drunk at Fabios or osbournes now haha!
AYYYYYY thank you so much, that's very kind of you! I left most things at home as I wanted my bedroom to still feel like my room when I went home over the holidays (and it was from George at ASDA) 😊
I've been convinced for like a year that you were wearing a kilt in the thumbnail..I just figured out today that you're not. I see this video on my youtube homepage so often and every time I wonder why you're in the a kilt..oopsie
I'm a 2nd year engineering student at Durham University and it's definitely appropriate to vlog here 😂 I was going to make a fresher's video last year but it was too crazy..., and like you, I suffered from achieving absolutely nothing in fresher's week apart from getting the flu! Great video mate 👍
I love your vlogs, they always make me feel so calm and at peace. Being a fresher too, its refreshing to just put on a vlog whilst working to feel less lonely, don't know if that's just me! Hope you're loving uni! :)
Looking back on this video after finishing first year at Durham. Crazy how I’d binge your Durham videos leading up to moving in and first year is already over. Time flies :)
Ahhhh that's a toughie - personally I didn't take a gap year and I'm glad I didn't because I knew I'd find going back to education too difficult, but all my housemates who took gap years did the most fun and insane things!
Jack Edwards hey Jack, I’ll be going to university this fall, just wanted to know if this room is college accommodation or a private one ? I’m actually conflicted with the idea of which option should I be opting for .
@@gayatrichatterjee174 I think the uni require all freshers to live in college accommodation, this is also the best way to settle in and make friends. As for this room, its part of St Cuthberts society college :)
I really really enjoyed this video! I loved the editibg style and i also loved getting a but of an insight into your first couple of weeks at uni. That photo of your puppy at 17.05 is so adorable, and makes me miss my pup so much more. Happy birthday anyways, although I know it's passed by now!
Ahhh I'm at UEA in my first year studying English Literature with Creative Writing. Currently have so much work to do but seem to have found your channel instead 😂
Loved the video! You seem to be so much more on top of things and settled down than me, and I just started my 3rd year lol, much love from a Hatfielder
Ah we come to Hatfield for dinner whenever there's a formal at Cuth's and your dining hall is BEAUT! Hope your third year is going well and maybe see you around and about!
i love coming back to watch your old vids, they bring me so much peace! on another note, as an american high school senior... YOU ONLY PAY LIKE 9K A YEAR FOR COLLEGE WHAT THE HELL thats so cheap compared to like the 80k a year here (for a school thats ranked as high as durham)... brb moving to england rn
Hoping this will be me next year! Have applied for English lit at Durham and am anxiously waiting to hear back. Coming back to these vlogs to quell my nerves :)
Matriculation in South Africa is when you graduate highschool - twelfth grade is your matric year 😄 so that’s kinda wild how different the meanings are!
How did you navigate being a first year and a vlogger at your uni?? I'm planning on filming vlogs and videos for my college but don't know if it is "socially acceptable either" and am lowkey terrified of coming off as egotistical or social media obsessed. I want to represent the queer community in higher education whilst filming my college experience.
Love this video it's made me so excited for uni, I'm doing the same subjects as you at A level and I was wondering if you could possibly do a video on things to do outside of set work e.g how to know what books to read and what to research! Love all your videos btw!!
Beautiful video!!! I wish you good luck to your new start 😄 I'm also studying English language and literature in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki! Greetings from Greece ❤
well.... just cam,e back after i found out that he earned a first class degree on english lit well done mate! (i mean we all sort of knew u would anyway)
I legit thought there was something wrong with my computer at the beginning of the video when alll the static was playing as background music. But great video!
A video all about your rails trip would be amazing, how you panned and financed etc. I am hoping to plan one for this summer and really need some tips!
Inspiring and extremely detailed video, I’ve applied for Durham to do Management next year at St Aiden’s so should be good by the sounds of it - if I get in 🙏🏻 Do you know anyone doing that course or at that college at all?
Ah, I'm glad! Two of my closest friends here at Cuth's do Business and Management and they're enjoying it so far. There's a module called 'New Venture Creations' which sounds fun???
Jack Edwards hadn’t heard of that but sounds really good! I know that obviously Business and Management isn’t exactly the most prestigious of courses, but do you know how they feel about that side of things - as in when they tell people what they study do they feel judged badly at all?
Lots of them are from John Lewis, the Amsterdam one was really cheap from Amazon, a couple are from poster sales they've held at Uni and there's one from IKEA x
I literally paused this vid to comment. I LOVE YOU BRO. This is exciting, helpful, soooo dreamy, so REAL and most of all....kills my fear of what would happen should I not get into Oxford!
it made me laugh SO MUCH when you put that box in the car and your dad took it straight out hahahaha
Is there a need for being so rude?
when u try to be helpful but ur actually making things worse oooops (ps i showed my dad this and we just had a right old giggle)
it had me creasing so much ahahahaha
There’s no need to be so rude :(
Eve Bennett dads knows the best how to pack a car😂
You could be a doctor with that handwriting.
I haven't even watched the video yet but this comment has me dying
Lolll
Jesus man, you killed him
daniel really woke up and chose violence ✨
Bro’s six feet under after that 💀💀💀
"That spider is so big, it should be paying a resident fee" THAT KILLED ME

Perfect video. I honestly love watching your vlogs. "This adulting thing is hard y'know" very true haha x
hahaha thank you very much for watching!
Jack Edwards hey
I've just found your channel and in your current situation as a third year university student, think it's so amazing you've logged your time at university and I wish I had the same idea. Watching your journey now and seeing how different it has been to mine! Love your motivation and drive:)
I've put Durham down as my firm and this makes me so excited!
EEEEEEKKK - i can't recommend it enough!
It’s such an amazing place to live! I’ve lived here all of my life and I practically know everyone here!! Good luck!!
omg same! i am watching his vlogs to have a sense of what the first year would look like and so far, i'm not sure what i'm feeling. i am hella excited and also terrified at the same time
23 minute video and a hot chocolate? PERFECT END TO MY DAY
THIS MAKES ME VERY HAPPY
If they're willing, could you do a "meet my flatmates" It would be so cool to meet everyone!
Alice Greenland agreed! This sounds like such a Fun idea
you just made ten peoples' day with this suggestion, they're VERY MUCH down for this idea hahaha
Jack, you have no idea how happy this comment makes me!
Jack Edwards still waiting on this lmao

@@jack_edwards which college were you in?
10 points to Durham :)
sorry i had to😅

Phew, not just me who thought that
This reminds me of Hogwarts. It looks really cool
This reminds me of how much I'm going to miss my dog when i'll move to the UK

That alarm gave me so much anxiety. It’s literally the same alarm that i used to use.
Biggg up Durham!
Just had a peak at your channel and I'm very excited to have a big ol' binge of your videos tonight!!!
I’m starting Durham this year and I won’t get to experience any of this because of corona
Me fucking too :(
Looking back on this video after finishing first year at Durham. Crazy how I’d binge your Durham videos leading up to moving in and first year is already over. Time flies :)
This video makes me so excited for uni but I’m sooo conflicted with uni or gap year lol

Aha well i'll see what happens x
Sorry for being nosy but what did you choose to do in the end?
Nuru x hey im also intrigued as to what you eventually chose
Nuru x what did you choose?
'I'm literally trying to read the book of Genesis' omg I'm done hahhaha
Im from Durham, its such a pretty place. Hope youve settled in well x
ah lucky you - it's so beaut! i'm loving it here so far ☺️

Ahhh I'm at UEA in my first year studying English Literature with Creative Writing. Currently have so much work to do but seem to have found your channel instead 😂
omg i can relate, the work-load is getting craaaazy - i thought we were just here enjoying one big holiday
Hey, I will be joining UEA this year😊
i've been researching universities and i live in durham, seeing you walk around places i know was so weird haha
Wow check you out being all fancy Jack
*pretending to be fancy
Jack Edwards Ahh ok I see how it is Jack 🤗🙈👌
Things in common with you 😂: my sister goes to durham, I went interrailing, and I love English xx
I LOVE HOW PROUDLY HE PUTS THE BOX IN THE CAR AND HIS DAD WHIPS IT OUT- LMFAOCNDNDN
Who’s here after Jack’s graduated!!?
currently waiting for an offer from durham and it's killing me! also bc i'm an international student this vid was super helpful! thank you x :-)
ahhhh good luck!!! they notoriously send out offers really really late at Durham - i didn't get mine until March!
Your channel makes me smile, I love it so much, love the little jokes or puns even when they don't work out. Thank you for all the happiness! (:
6:32 they look like they're going to Hogwarts?
Ines Bouteldj some of Harry Potter was filmed at Durham :)
this is making me increasingly nervous!!
ME IN A FEW WEEKS NOW!!!
OK, so I am not watching this thinking in "loveless" by Alice Oseman...haha Greetings from Spain! PD: Thank you for this book recommendation!
Loved the video! You seem to be so much more on top of things and settled down than me, and I just started my 3rd year lol, much love from a Hatfielder
Ah we come to Hatfield for dinner whenever there's a formal at Cuth's and your dining hall is BEAUT! Hope your third year is going well and maybe see you around and about!
I'm going into year 11 this year and Durham university is my dream uni, it would be greatly appreciated if you have any advice? :)
i love coming back to watch your old vids, they bring me so much peace! on another note, as an american high school senior... YOU ONLY PAY LIKE 9K A YEAR FOR COLLEGE WHAT THE HELL thats so cheap compared to like the 80k a year here (for a school thats ranked as high as durham)... brb moving to england rn
FYI that price is for UK students... If an international student was to come study its roughly 25k - 32k per year for tuition alone!
@@joem7687 but still!!! even 50k, including housing and other costs, is better than the 70k that im going to be paying for college now lmao
Hoping this will be me next year! Have applied for English lit at Durham and am anxiously waiting to hear back. Coming back to these vlogs to quell my nerves :)
how did you get on?

ahh I was raised and live near Durham, it's such a beautiful town and I hope you enjoy it yes
ahhh lucky you - it's so nice!
Love this video it's made me so excited for uni, I'm doing the same subjects as you at A level and I was wondering if you could possibly do a video on things to do outside of set work e.g how to know what books to read and what to research! Love all your videos btw!!

Not going to uni for a few years but why are these videos so addicting?
Hi Jack my son got an offer for Durham. Which college are you staying in? Any idea about John Snow.
Please tell us what happened to the non-paying spider guest
I legit thought there was something wrong with my computer at the beginning of the video when alll the static was playing as background music. But great video!
Would you mind doing a video about studying English at Durham? I’ve just applied there and stumbled across your channel!
Yesss - I'm going to be posting lots of vlogs about being a student here don't you worry! I can't recommend this uni enough!
Were you accepted?
I love your videos so much they are calming and just perfect 👌
Loool i am watching a third video of yours and i think that i am in love..
