I love that you mentioned you bought a planner from Walmart that worked fine for you cause all these youtubers use these super expensive planners when it's really not necessary to spend a fortune.
I thought the same thing!!!!!!!!!! HAHA & Most of them are older with kids, I always wonder why they spend that much on a planner, and how they can afford to!
I moved out at 17, I'm now 23. I supported MYSELF. Two car payments, rent, bills, insurance. Everything. & I now have a 3 month old. Being on your own & making your own money, not depending on anyone is the best. 👌
Were you in college when you moved out? I want to move out and get a job to pay rent for an apartment but in afraid I might not be able to balance school and a job.
The big thing that will save you time is showing up to your classes and actually being mentally engaged. Make sure you understand everything everything that's being said and you're prepared for the lecture. If you leave lecture and still don't understand something ask a TA or go to study hall and figure it out before going home. Do no leave it until the weekend. A lot of people are passive in lecture and then wonder why they have to spend so much time studying.
I might be crazy cuz I'm gonna get mine in a few days and now I'm thinking on presenting another entrance exam to study this time another thing :,D (another 5 years) even though I like what I've studied. This is not my native language so I apologize. (I'm just saying that cuz I like having feedbacks so that I can improve)
@@lifegoeson1007 it's an exam you do to be able to study at a Public University you have to score pretty high if you want to pass. (the score to pass varies from every carrier and University) I don't know if privates Universities do the same thing cuz I'm poor :,D... so sad.
Girl. I know this video is older now, but I am so thankful that I am not the only person who is doing what you have done. anywho. thank you for the inspiration and the encouragement you have offered here.
I had a year super similar to yours while in CMA school! I went to school full time, 8am-4pm monday-friday(it was an accelerated course, we learned in 1 year what usually is 2). Got back into the town where I lived and worked around 5pm (school was an hour away) and would work until 10 pm 3 nights a week at a restuarant, and work day shift on Saturday and sunday. Plus homework, and house work. It was crazy having zero days off for 1 year! When I finished school and got my first job with weekends off I didn't know what to do with myself lol! Not to mention I planned a wedding and got married during that year too! It was definitely worth it though! :) and I'm glad it's over, I sure love my normal 9-5 and weekends off! Woohoo!!
I think you gave the best advice i've found on youtube on the topic! Thank you so much!! I'm 21 turning 22 next month and I decided to work full time while i finish my bachelor's degree so I can start learning how to balance, budget my money, save so I can buy myself a car and other adult things. I'm happy I found this video, it was so helpful.
This video inspired me so much. I graduate from high school next summer and I'll only be 17. I will be moving out as soon a as possible, and hopefully going to university. I already knew how busy your schedule was based on what you've said in previous videos, but seeing how you did it so well, and how you were just so motivated defiantly calmed some of the nerves I have about my life after high school, when I'm not relying on my parents to pay bills and buy my food. I'm so proud of you. You are so inspiring and you are such a great human being.
This video was very very helpful. not cause of the information but because of the motivation. This morning i was very sad bc i thought i was gonna have to quit my job to keep up with school. Now that has changed.
Did you ever end up just crashing on your days off? I sometimes work 40+ hours a week and totally crash sometimes. I remember going to church one day coming home and decided to take a nap. That nap ened up being a 7 hour nap. I then proceeded to sleep another 6 hours that night.
This came out at the perfect time of the semester. The mid point is always the hardest. Thank you for your tips and tricks. ♡ The hardest thing for me is saying no to family and friends, but I'm taking more units in the summer than normal so I will have to say no. Congratulations on your success. You WILL go far in life. ♡ (:
Right!? I'm just trying to figure out how to get a healthy amount of sleep and workout while working and dealing with college and friends!? I don't see how it's possible! Lol
You go girl! I’m working toward my next college degree after my first one wasn’t helpful. I also work at a preschool, but thankfully part-time 5days a week. 2 days a week I go straight from school until 9 and then 2 other days I have time to go to the gym and let my dog out after work before I head to school until 9. I get up 2-3 hours early before I go to work so I can walk my dog, clean, do preschool stuff and/or homework and I spend most of my weekends studying but make sure to take some rest time. It gets overwhelming and your video was a good reminder before going into the next semester. A planner is definitely a lifesaver.
I really needed this. After feeling so discouraged about going back to school (I took this past year off) because I won't be able to graduate "on time" (spring 2017), but you've definitely made me see if there's a will there's a way.
I love this! I know exactly how you feel about your life! I'm 20 years old, in dental hygiene school full time and I work two part time jobs. I almost never tell people because I don't want to come off like I'm bragging. I just know how to use my time wisely lol. You're amazing and I love your videos!!
Thank you for this video!! You're awesome. This is my second semester doing full time school (12 credits) and work (34 hour/week), I'm exhausted. You have waaaay more extra things going on and you finished. Thanks for the motivation!! :)
Love this video! I needed this! I’ve been so stressed this semester. I’m taking 17 units, I have a daughter on top of other responsibilities and I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed. But it’s refreshing to see other women doing it as well and encouraging others to keep pushing. Thank you so much for the encouragement!
I'm so, so happy you posted this. I'm going back to school this fall after taking a break for a year and half. I'm going to be a full time student while working full time as a manager in retail. Ignore the people saying that this is so common that it's pointless to post this video. It's definitely helpful and because of you I know I'll be able to do it! :)
I doubt you’ll see this but in the off chance you do- I have some questions. I’m 19, full time college student and just got promoted to full time manager at a retail job. How did you do it? I’m concerned that I won’t have time to do typical 19 year old stuff.
It is scary how alike our lifestyles are lol.. I teach day care as well while in school full time, been in college since high school (graduating next month) and I (oddly) have the same exact planner, I am Also a daughter to a veteran so school for me is sort of free, and our reasoning for working do hard in college so young is nearly exactly the same. I'm still in school and I could probably take in a Lot of tips from your vids, so for that I thank you! (: I definitely need to improve on self discipline, so I am officially subscribed to your videos! Lol God Bless
I know this is an old video but I just saw it and WOW I had no idea you were only 20 years old when you accomplished all of that! This is truly an inspiring video Kathryn, I'm so glad you made it because it taught me that even though I try really hard in school, I could be trying harder. I do have the time and the ability I just have to manage better. I'm a psychology major so I have to do a lot of extracurricular activities aside from school so its a lot but now I know its possible! I love your videos and your kind hearted helpfulness! :)
I debated on watching this video, just because it seemed boring. But honestly you almost made me cry. I am a senior in high school, and in 10 weeks i am supposed to be graduating. My life is a complete mess right now, and i don't know if i will be able to make it. But this video just helped so much! So thank you!
Gosh you are my motivation! This video just makes me want to finish my degree so much more. I have about a year left and I can't wait to have my Bachelor's degree in my hands. Love youuu!!
you are an inspiration. No matter what you do people will always have something to say. whether it's something positive or negative. Take the praises and constructive criticism and keep it moving. Yes, I know sometimes words can hurt, but just keep it moving and be proud of yourself.
I feel depressed watching your videos because I've been in college 3 years and and I just have 72 credits so just became a junior which means I have 2 more years of school. Seeing you get 130 hours in 2.5 years is amazing and seeing you balance everything so well. I have never been a super smart person, I've always made As and Bs but I've worked really hard for them. I am not able to have a job because I also have a 3 year old who I had my senior year in high school. So my boyfriend is the only one that works. I feel so bad that I am not able to contribute money but It just seems impossible to me because as soon as I get out of school I have to rush home to pick my son up from daycare. We want to move out of my moms house and get our own apartment but I would have to get a job to make ends meet, but I am scared that I will end up dropping out of school which will be devastating. everything I wish I was you are. I'm so proud of you and I definitely hope to learn something from you!
Well it will be worth it when you graduate and get a job that will have a good pay and you and your family will be able to move out of your moms place and start a family :)
+Alicia Herrera she makes me feel like trash too because im on the slower side of the spectrum when it comes to school and i can barely even make an "A" or a "B" even when i study hard. it just comes easy to some people. :(
Thank you so much for this video. I just finished my freshman year of college after my parents kicked me out the day after my high school graduation. I love your motivation and I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one. I'm a full time student and I am looking for an apartment which means I'll be paying all my bills by myself and I'll have to have two jobs and this video just reassured me that I CAN DO IT
You've honestly inspired me so much to get my life organized and make me want to be independent from my parents and work hard. (Im 18) Love your channel and thanks so much for your videos :)
Just got back from work after 12,5 hours shift at the hospital. I need to finish my assessment now, get to sleep really little and get back to the hospital. I feel exhausted but you helped me a lot to get the right mindset` to get through this week! Thank you
Wow I really really needed this!! life is hard for us independent 20 somethings and we all need some positive, encouraging words every once and awhile. Thank you so much Kathryn!
This all depends on the field you are. Engineering? No full time work esp mechanical, electrical and chemical. Commerce or Accounting? Stick to a part time or no job. Courses are hard esp. Auditing. History, English, Sociology? Feel free to have a full time job. It's possible to do it.
So try being a mom to a 3 month old, full time student & full time job. Hard work but it's so worth it to give my son the best life! Plus my husband is such a big help!
Take it easy my dear Amber. People have differenet opinions and perspectives. You have to learn to accept other people's points of view and opinions without sweating the small stuff . I am glad we all live in America where everybody expresses freely not being afraid to be represed or punished for being honest and candid.
The way you described your school schedule from last year sounds so much like mine right now. I am so busy all the time! That is definitely what I do for motivation though I keep telling myself "It will all be worth it in the end, the struggle is only temporary".
this is so inspiring, i study full time, placement and work also 30-40 hours a week, my work is open 24/7 7 days a week , and I do night shifts a lot and train 3 nights a week for roller derby, recently I have struggled so much balancing it all! this video helped me work out ways to fit things in ! your inspiring I hope all is well and you are enjoying your carreer :)
I love and really appreciate all your management/organisational videos. They are extremely relatable and make me feel like i can take tasks on much more easily! Love your positive attitude and honesty. Keep it up, thankyou! :)
just discovered all these videos about nursing school and I'm catching up as I organize my room. so gonna help me as I just started a full time job and go back to school as a full time second degree nursing student!
Could you do an updated budgeting video? I'm moving out in about a month and a half and was curious to see how you and Hayden manage with your duplex compared to the apartment. Love you! :)
I'm 17 and Honestly you are my favorite RUclipsr and I look up to you,you are very inspirational to me and you are the strongest woman I know. Thank you so much for posting AMAZING videos (: ily xoxoxoxo
Thank you for this literlly all week I've been stressed I wake up at 5:30 get ready for school get of at 2:30 and then go to work at 3-9 depends then I feel.so tired that I have no time for homework and just pass out and my grades are suffering I had a breakdown Friday bc I was just so stressed and had no time
shocked me when you said you weren't sure if you gave good advice, ive been missing a lot of school and being late for things and feeling sorry for myself that i dont have my parents to pay for everything and help. i think i have a brand new outlook that will be helpful
i can relate to you so much! you have really helped me on how i should organize my routines, i also work at a day care and with my studying full time it can get extremely crazy especially with assignments, bills, etc. this video has really helped me to see that i am not the only one feeling this so thank you :) i have walked away with a motivated attitude and my chin up high
I actually think work is helpful in overcoming social anxiety, at least in the service jobs I've done. It gives you kind of a controlled environment to interact\open up to people and build confidence because you have to do it and you know your place and your role in this dynamic. I felt a lot more anti social in the periods when I wasn't working.
Omgoodness, married and 23. Still haven't gotten my GED & working towards it now while working a full time job! These were the words I needed to hear! It's been hard being so independent !! But so rewarding knowing I have been paying my own way, have my own home, and I've paid for it! You're so motivational! I can't wait to have my degree on my wall, and go to college! I know God has big things ahead for me.... :)
I'm so glad I found your video. I can definitely relate. I will be a full time student with a full time job this fall.I also moved out at 18 and have been lucky enough to have friends who welcomed me into their home. But now its time for me to get my own place. I also did get fully funded for school and I do want to stay in dorms but I need a place for breaks. So I completely understand.
I really needed this. I'm going through the same thing right now. I've got a system I use, but it helps to hear others tips on how to get through it as well as the encouragement that you gave. It's tough!
You are seriously incredible and I am so glad that I came across your RUclips Channel! I feel a lot better and have a lot more confidence about working full time at my job and taking 12 credits in school. Thank you so much for making this video! :)
I am 17 years old and I graduate in May! I'm going to a university also for my degree win biology with hopes of getting into Med School. I will have to completely support myself throughout Both college and Med School, and people who share Success and give advice like you make me feel like I can do this too! My dream is to be a doctor and I've realized that I WANT to put in all the extra work required to become one, and you're one of my many inspirations! Thank you!
This video helped me so much! I am going through finishing my degree full time and working full time. I seem to do the same planner system and that works well for me too! Loved this video, thank you!
Great video! Loved the advice on keeping a separate planner, prioritizing your goals and learning to say NO, and setting encouraging timers for study time :-D
How funny - I'm taking 19 credits right now, 4 online and I have a cheap planner just like that and I set mine up EXACTLY the same. Highlighting, due dates, planning, everything. You're such an inspiration for me right now as I work 30 hours a week and manage all of this school work. Congrats on graduating super early! that's huge.
im going back to school when im 24, 21 now and im just working as much as i can, i am interested in becoming a PA and i know the college i want to go to but its expensive and i want to save as much money as i can, but this is amazing i plan to hopefully do this, if not then i plan on working full time but then just go to school part time.
you have pretty good advice. your a roll model for other young kids, I have 2 young girls and I deffinently want them to follow in that foot steps of being an independent young adult. thank you for sharing.
I refer to this video when I am freling stresed. I am about to start student teahing which is pretty much a full time internship. It is super important! I feel a bit stressed but if people can work and do school, so can I!
I just love You! I was hesitant about school but I'm going to get through it. I'm prepared to sacrifice things just to get my degree in nursing. Thank you for sharing
I'm thinking about majoring in premed, so I can become a pediatrician. I'm so scared about the work load and the courses in general, but I really want to pursue that career because it's my dream job. It's also 10 yrs to become one, but really residency is in the last 3-4 years, so technically I would be in school doing school work for like 8 years. At one point I said to myself that I would be a neonatal nurse practitioner, which is my 2nd career option and its 7 years to become one. So, I think I'm just going to go with being a pediatrician because I can't see my self not pursuing my dream.
Hey KathrynAnn I'm 17 and I really want to move out when I turn 18 but I'm scared! It's really hard to support your self and go to school but it's even harder when you're dyslexic!!! But I'm a petter determined person,always have been so I think I can do it. And watching your video alway has help me in one way or another so I just want to say thank you!
I'm in love with your videos! I am moving out of my parents house next month for my last year of college, and I already have 2 jobs. I'll have 2 online classes, but with my campus classes and work I've been scared about it will all pan out but all of your advice makes me feel like it's possible :) Thanks for sharing all your experiences!
You're such an inspiration and role model. If you don't mind me asking, what is your backup plan in case things don't work out with your boyfriend? Would you move back home?
I was a working student who didn't live at home. I did homework before I started work and got good grades. It's hard but it can be done :). Learning to budget is a big thing because trying to make sure you have enough to for tuition and groceries is hard.
I so glad saw u viedo. nurse class so hard, after watching u viedo and don't let school nothing get u way is a,true blessing. Thank u. Do u plan on doing any other school.or education on nurse or any other career u would be a big blessing all over the world. need more great people like u so positive of path of God.
I absolutely love this video. You're such an inspiration. I had the same exact planner as you!! lol. And once I did buy a planner that had a different quote every week. I loved it. Also, you and I have the same study techniques. I can't wait to graduate next year and I hope I can feel as acomplished as you do some day.
Thank you for this video! I am a part time college student about to finish my AA degree in Spring. I have an opportunity to take a full time job but was freaking out! I have bee. honestly I did struggle doing part time work and school when I was working within the college. your video has encouraged me and I may end up takin this offer. I really need to get some income in to pay bills as well. Thanks!
I really enjoyed this video. I look forward to watching them every week. You have accomplished so much for someone so young! I proud of you! Can you do an updated budget video?
I never really had to study....leaving video. Shes like my sister,but my sister has two jobs and a sorry boyfriend who is older and dependent on her and my sister going full time. shes 20 with a AA degree already. looking for people who have to study ect. not oh my brain is just this way.
Yey another video! Wish I had this video when I was in high school haha. I have a few questions for you. 1 in your description box it says "send me stuff" and then your adress, do people/fans send you things? 2 are you going to do vlogmas again (because those were great) :) ??
Look i just want to say thank you. Thanks for putting it out there that this is possible. Some times you just need to hear that someone made it. Cheers from Portugal!
It makes me feel so much better knowing that there are lots of people my age that are doing this and doing just fine. I'm moving out soon with my fiance and we are 18 and I'm just worried that we will have trouble with paying everything.
I love that you mentioned you bought a planner from Walmart that worked fine for you cause all these youtubers use these super expensive planners when it's really not necessary to spend a fortune.
right? Like my bad hand writing and scribbles are gonna be all over it, i don't need it to cost me $20
Kathryn Ann Their planners are usually $40-$60 which I couldnt do, no matter how much money I have
Kathryn Ann I have the exact same one in a Tiffany blue so I know what you mean girl! :) Im bout that walmart planner life!
I thought the same thing!!!!!!!!!! HAHA & Most of them are older with kids, I always wonder why they spend that much on a planner, and how they can afford to!
I got a planner from Walgreens on clearence for a 1$
I moved out at 17, I'm now 23. I supported MYSELF. Two car payments, rent, bills, insurance. Everything. & I now have a 3 month old. Being on your own & making your own money, not depending on anyone is the best. 👌
yes! I love knowing i can make it on my own
Why two car payments?
Loving having my own home and making my own money, it's the best feeling! :)
so much respect. I'm 21 and I don't know how I'll be able to do this and I have far less responsibilities than you. No child. No rent. No car payment.
Were you in college when you moved out? I want to move out and get a job to pay rent for an apartment but in afraid I might not be able to balance school and a job.
The big thing that will save you time is showing up to your classes and actually being mentally engaged. Make sure you understand everything everything that's being said and you're prepared for the lecture. If you leave lecture and still don't understand something ask a TA or go to study hall and figure it out before going home. Do no leave it until the weekend. A lot of people are passive in lecture and then wonder why they have to spend so much time studying.
+littleripper312 Could you give some examples on how to prepare for class / a lecture? Like taking notes ahead of time and bringing them?
yeah but some teachers arent good explainers, but i get what ur saying do ur best with u got try to listen and understand
she'll survive a vampire apocalypse with all those crosses on the wall behind her ... she's a prepared woman
Lol a demon apocalypse
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are an excellent role model for many young women. Keep up the good work.
8 years of college swallowed me. The day I had my Masters degree in my hand I took a vacation lol
Kessiah Reid can’t wait for that moment
Iktsr lol
I might be crazy cuz I'm gonna get mine in a few days and now I'm thinking on presenting another entrance exam to study this time another thing :,D (another 5 years) even though I like what I've studied. This is not my native language so I apologize. (I'm just saying that cuz I like having feedbacks so that I can improve)
L What is a entrance exam?
@@lifegoeson1007 it's an exam you do to be able to study at a Public University you have to score pretty high if you want to pass. (the score to pass varies from every carrier and University) I don't know if privates Universities do the same thing cuz I'm poor :,D... so sad.

I'm about to get a full time job and get full time classes.. people like you make the impossible, possible 😁
Sooooo how was it?

I really needed to see this. I've been struggling with this thinking it's not possible but you made me see that it is. Thank you!!
Yo so did u work and go to college?? Was it hard?
Me: *6 minutes into the video* Okay, now tell me when you sleep. Lol
Right!? I'm just trying to figure out how to get a healthy amount of sleep and workout while working and dealing with college and friends!? I don't see how it's possible! Lol

I do have the time and the ability I just have to manage better. I'm a psychology major so I have to do a lot of extracurricular activities aside from school so its a lot but now I know its possible! I love your videos and your kind hearted helpfulness! :)
I debated on watching this video, just because it seemed boring. But honestly you almost made me cry. I am a senior in high school, and in 10 weeks i am supposed to be graduating. My life is a complete mess right now, and i don't know if i will be able to make it. But this video just helped so much! So thank you!
You will make it! Just breathe! You have your whole life to find what you are good at!!
Gosh you are my motivation! This video just makes me want to finish my degree so much more. I have about a year left and I can't wait to have my Bachelor's degree in my hands. Love youuu!!
Glad I found this video. I've never really been taught about time management or organization. This is so helpful!
you are an inspiration. No matter what you do people will always have something to say. whether it's something positive or negative. Take the praises and constructive criticism and keep it moving. Yes, I know sometimes words can hurt, but just keep it moving and be proud of yourself.
I feel depressed watching your videos because I've been in college 3 years and and I just have 72 credits so just became a junior which means I have 2 more years of school. Seeing you get 130 hours in 2.5 years is amazing and seeing you balance everything so well. I have never been a super smart person, I've always made As and Bs but I've worked really hard for them. I am not able to have a job because I also have a 3 year old who I had my senior year in high school. So my boyfriend is the only one that works. I feel so bad that I am not able to contribute money but It just seems impossible to me because as soon as I get out of school I have to rush home to pick my son up from daycare. We want to move out of my moms house and get our own apartment but I would have to get a job to make ends meet, but I am scared that I will end up dropping out of school which will be devastating. everything I wish I was you are. I'm so proud of you and I definitely hope to learn something from you!
I feel you girl
Well it will be worth it when you graduate and get a job that will have a good pay and you and your family will be able to move out of your moms place and start a family :)
+Alicia Herrera it is very much possible your are almost at the end of the tunnel keep it up!! It will pay off
+Alicia Herrera she makes me feel like trash too because im on the slower side of the spectrum when it comes to school and i can barely even make an "A" or a "B" even when i study hard. it just comes easy to some people. :(
+FlowerRFabulous agree
You are such an inspiration to young women everywhere! Keep doing what you do! BTW - I'd love to see another budget video. :)
Thank you so much for this video. I just finished my freshman year of college after my parents kicked me out the day after my high school graduation. I love your motivation and I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one. I'm a full time student and I am looking for an apartment which means I'll be paying all my bills by myself and I'll have to have two jobs and this video just reassured me that I CAN DO IT
Jacqueline Munson what the fuck is wrong with your parents
You've honestly inspired me so much to get my life organized and make me want to be independent from my parents and work hard. (Im 18) Love your channel and thanks so much for your videos :)
So how is it? I'm 19 and want to help my mother and study
save time skip the 1st 5 mins
justine thank you
Wow knowing you did all of that at the same time is so inspiring, keep doing what you're doing, your amazing :)
Just got back from work after 12,5 hours shift at the hospital. I need to finish my assessment now, get to sleep really little and get back to the hospital. I feel exhausted but you helped me a lot to get the right mindset` to get through this week! Thank you
Wow I really really needed this!! life is hard for us independent 20 somethings and we all need some positive, encouraging words every once and awhile. Thank you so much Kathryn!
This all depends on the field you are. Engineering? No full time work esp mechanical, electrical and chemical. Commerce or Accounting? Stick to a part time or no job. Courses are hard esp. Auditing. History, English, Sociology? Feel free to have a full time job. It's possible to do it.
So try being a mom to a 3 month old, full time student & full time job. Hard work but it's so worth it to give my son the best life! Plus my husband is such a big help!
No, she does it with the help of her boyfriend. They share the bills.
Amber Lynn- Hold your horses!! it seems you know both couples very well. So, I just wrote what my impression is based on Katherine videos. :-)
Take it easy my dear Amber. People have differenet opinions and perspectives. You have to learn to accept other people's points of view and opinions without sweating the small stuff . I am glad we all live in America where everybody expresses freely not being afraid to be represed or punished for being honest and candid.
Sorry Tyler, I was talking to Amber about my written impression or my opinion.
+ATtatCH Lane I totally agree with you.
The way you described your school schedule from last year sounds so much like mine right now. I am so busy all the time! That is definitely what I do for motivation though I keep telling myself "It will all be worth it in the end, the struggle is only temporary".
this is so inspiring, i study full time, placement and work also 30-40 hours a week, my work is open 24/7 7 days a week , and I do night shifts a lot and train 3 nights a week for roller derby, recently I have struggled so much balancing it all! this video helped me work out ways to fit things in ! your inspiring I hope all is well and you are enjoying your carreer :)
I love and really appreciate all your management/organisational videos. They are extremely relatable and make me feel like i can take tasks on much more easily! Love your positive attitude and honesty. Keep it up, thankyou! :)
just discovered all these videos about nursing school and I'm catching up as I organize my room. so gonna help me as I just started a full time job and go back to school as a full time second degree nursing student!
Miss you 😭😭😭😭😭
Could you do an updated budgeting video? I'm moving out in about a month and a half and was curious to see how you and Hayden manage with your duplex compared to the apartment. Love you! :)
I'm 17 and Honestly you are my favorite RUclipsr and I look up to you,you are very inspirational to me and you are the strongest woman I know. Thank you so much for posting AMAZING videos (: ily xoxoxoxo
Thank you for this literlly all week I've been stressed I wake up at 5:30 get ready for school get of at 2:30 and then go to work at 3-9 depends then I feel.so tired that I have no time for homework and just pass out and my grades are suffering I had a breakdown Friday bc I was just so stressed and had no time
shocked me when you said you weren't sure if you gave good advice, ive been missing a lot of school and being late for things and feeling sorry for myself that i dont have my parents to pay for everything and help. i think i have a brand new outlook that will be helpful
i can relate to you so much! you have really helped me on how i should organize my routines, i also work at a day care and with my studying full time it can get extremely crazy especially with assignments, bills, etc. this video has really helped me to see that i am not the only one feeling this so thank you :) i have walked away with a motivated attitude and my chin up high
Any tips for people with social anxiety?
yes please make a video on That 🙏💕
What if you have anxiety and like am scared to get a job??
I actually think work is helpful in overcoming social anxiety, at least in the service jobs I've done. It gives you kind of a controlled environment to interact\open up to people and build confidence because you have to do it and you know your place and your role in this dynamic. I felt a lot more anti social in the periods when I wasn't working.
STOP CARING
CUT IT OFF
that's it
Omgoodness, married and 23. Still haven't gotten my GED & working towards it now while working a full time job! These were the words I needed to hear! It's been hard being so independent !! But so rewarding knowing I have been paying my own way, have my own home, and I've paid for it! You're so motivational! I can't wait to have my degree on my wall, and go to college! I know God has big things ahead for me.... :)
U are such a hard worker!!! Very inspiring! Im starting my freshman year and have to work 20 hours and now im not as worried 💗💗
I'm so glad I found your video. I can definitely relate. I will be a full time student with a full time job this fall.I also moved out at 18 and have been lucky enough to have friends who welcomed me into their home. But now its time for me to get my own place. I also did get fully funded for school and I do want to stay in dorms but I need a place for breaks. So I completely understand.
Awesome video! As a full time worker getting ready to jump into the abyss of full time on campus study this was a fantastic pointer
I really needed this. I'm going through the same thing right now. I've got a system I use, but it helps to hear others tips on how to get through it as well as the encouragement that you gave. It's tough!
You are seriously incredible and I am so glad that I came across your RUclips Channel! I feel a lot better and have a lot more confidence about working full time at my job and taking 12 credits in school. Thank you so much for making this video! :)
I always keep going back to this video
I’m still in school and it’s motivating
I am 17 years old and I graduate in May! I'm going to a university also for my degree win biology with hopes of getting into Med School. I will have to completely support myself throughout Both college and Med School, and people who share Success and give advice like you make me feel like I can do this too! My dream is to be a doctor and I've realized that I WANT to put in all the extra work required to become one, and you're one of my many inspirations! Thank you!
This video helped me so much! I am going through finishing my degree full time and working full time. I seem to do the same planner system and that works well for me too! Loved this video, thank you!
I was looking forward to a video all day (: & this one is very much appreciated bc I start nursing school in May
Great video! Loved the advice on keeping a separate planner, prioritizing your goals and learning to say NO, and setting encouraging timers for study time :-D
How funny - I'm taking 19 credits right now, 4 online and I have a cheap planner just like that and I set mine up EXACTLY the same. Highlighting, due dates, planning, everything. You're such an inspiration for me right now as I work 30 hours a week and manage all of this school work. Congrats on graduating super early! that's huge.
good on you for doing school and paying your own bills! most people can't do anything close to what you're doing. great job!
I just got accepted in a call center and I'm planning to work while studying! You're really an inspiration!
im going back to school when im 24, 21 now and im just working as much as i can, i am interested in becoming a PA and i know the college i want to go to but its expensive and i want to save as much money as i can, but this is amazing i plan to hopefully do this, if not then i plan on working full time but then just go to school part time.
michelle kearsey Follow your dreams i started back to school at that age.
you have pretty good advice. your a roll model for other young kids, I have 2 young girls and I deffinently want them to follow in that foot steps of being an independent young adult. thank you for sharing.
I refer to this video when I am freling stresed. I am about to start student teahing which is pretty much a full time internship. It is super important! I feel a bit stressed but if people can work and do school, so can I!
I just love You! I was hesitant about school but I'm going to get through it. I'm prepared to sacrifice things just to get my degree in nursing. Thank you for sharing
I love your hair in a ponytail! It's so pretty!!
I'm thinking about majoring in premed, so I can become a pediatrician. I'm so scared about the work load and the courses in general, but I really want to pursue that career because it's my dream job. It's also 10 yrs to become one, but really residency is in the last 3-4 years, so technically I would be in school doing school work for like 8 years. At one point I said to myself that I would be a neonatal nurse practitioner, which is my 2nd career option and its 7 years to become one. So, I think I'm just going to go with being a pediatrician because I can't see my self not pursuing my dream.
exactly! do what your heart tells you to and have faith! (:
Thank you so much for this video! It makes me feel so much better that I'm not the only one in difficult situation out here.
Hey KathrynAnn I'm 17 and I really want to move out when I turn 18 but I'm scared! It's really hard to support your self and go to school but it's even harder when you're dyslexic!!! But I'm a petter determined person,always have been so I think I can do it. And watching your video alway has help me in one way or another so I just want to say thank you!
This upcoming semester is going to be crazy, 2 jobs and 15 units, ahh I'm excited but already stressed. Thank you for your tips!
I'm in love with your videos! I am moving out of my parents house next month for my last year of college, and I already have 2 jobs. I'll have 2 online classes, but with my campus classes and work I've been scared about it will all pan out but all of your advice makes me feel like it's possible :) Thanks for sharing all your experiences!
You're such an inspiration and role model. If you don't mind me asking, what is your backup plan in case things don't work out with your boyfriend? Would you move back home?
no. I would continue to live by myself. I will never move back home
I was a working student who didn't live at home. I did homework before I started work and got good grades. It's hard but it can be done :). Learning to budget is a big thing because trying to make sure you have enough to for tuition and groceries is hard.
I so glad saw u viedo. nurse class so hard, after watching u viedo and don't let school nothing get u way is a,true blessing. Thank u. Do u plan on doing any other school.or education on nurse or any other career u would be a big blessing all over the world. need more great people like u so positive of path of God.
I absolutely love this video. You're such an inspiration. I had the same exact planner as you!! lol. And once I did buy a planner that had a different quote every week. I loved it. Also, you and I have the same study techniques. I can't wait to graduate next year and I hope I can feel as acomplished as you do some day.
Thank you for this video! I am a part time college student about to finish my AA degree in Spring. I have an opportunity to take a full time job but was freaking out! I have bee. honestly I did struggle doing part time work and school when I was working within the college. your video has encouraged me and I may end up takin this offer. I really need to get some income in to pay bills as well. Thanks!
I really enjoyed this video. I look forward to watching them every week. You have accomplished so much for someone so young! I proud of you! Can you do an updated budget video?
I always use a calendar to keep up with stuff that's due or appointments and as well as my work schedule.
I keep watching this video I think it's helpfu. For people who are new to college or new to living alone... thank you 😊
I never really had to study....leaving video. Shes like my sister,but my sister has two jobs and a sorry boyfriend who is older and dependent on her and my sister going full time. shes 20 with a AA degree already. looking for people who have to study ect. not oh my brain is just this way.
Oh my god where were you when I was 20. Had I watched this video 8 years ago my life would be so different.
Yey another video! Wish I had this video when I was in high school haha. I have a few questions for you. 1 in your description box it says "send me stuff" and then your adress, do people/fans send you things? 2 are you going to do vlogmas again (because those were great) :) ??
Kathryn Ann
that opening earned you a fan. I instantly subscribed lol
Look i just want to say thank you. Thanks for putting it out there that this is possible. Some times you just need to hear that someone made it.
Cheers from Portugal!

Honestly you were speaking directly to me! Thanks so much

It makes me feel so much better knowing that there are lots of people my age that are doing this and doing just fine. I'm moving out soon with my fiance and we are 18 and I'm just worried that we will have trouble with paying everything.
You are such an inspiration and my motivation for my final year. I love you!
you're so motivational!
You remind me of april kepner from greys anatomy
Loved your video!! Can you please do a video on how you got your job at the daycare you work at?
