back at home: reflections, rambles and 2023 goals

[@maxdynamics23]

You might be struggling to write things on your CV but I must say this: I believe that your impact on me and the people who follow you here is enormous so please keep that in mind. Also, managing to have a podcast and active Instagram & KZbin channels while studying at the one and only Univeristy of Edinburgh requires great effort, creativity, organisation, finance and management skills!

[@libbbi]

i feel like you shouldnt feel pressured to be all positive on the podcast- honestly its really comforting to just hear about your thoughts and whatever it is you feel like talking about :) looking forward to it anyway

[@rosieskull6963]

your hair looks so cute!! i can't tell you how comforting it is (as someone with one year of masters to go) to have you talk about post-uni crises, craving independence, not feeling good enough for different things etc. feel like everyone feels this but no one talks about it enough :))

[@emmamusallam557]

Nayna I too felt the same once I graduated from uni like a few months ago ( finished my BEng and MSc) and I came across this “post-uni depression” phase which actually so many graduates go through and no one really talks about. I don’t want to impose but I thought it would be really cool, if you wanted to, to do a podcast about that and have your listeners and youtuber followers write about their experience, and make that like a podcast episode. It would be so cool!! Also really admire you and what you do! Much love!! 🤍🤍

[@Slated_tales]

Transitioning is hard. Feeling negative at times is normal. I started uni in 2022 and only 2 months of it left me exhausted. But I know it's going to teach me lessons I'll cherish forever. It's okay to take a break and rest. ❤️

[@SerineH]

it's so nice and comforting to listen to you talking, literally!! enjoy the smallest things in life, and you'll be happier

[@TheJZab]

Please don't be too hard on yourself, you're only 22! Take your time and do the travelling now, because when/if you do eventually have a full time job it's way harder to do that. I'm 31 now and didn't get into a full time job until I was 26. If you are able to support yourself with your KZbin channel and travel from the money then that's a huuuge achievement! The fact you have this channel is a huge accomplishment in itself.

[@aditipatil6816]

Nayna we missed a catchup vlog for so long💙😭 Good to see you back💓💓

[@sadiemahon8625]

Nayna i wanna let u know how much your content brought me comfort. noticed that u didn't post podcast for monthsss BUT during winter 2022, I moved out from the city and lived alone in an apt for the first time, in a very remote neighbourhood and most of my cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, etc. were spent w your old podcasts!!! u make that loney and cold time for me way way better. you have no idea how much it can make someone in other side of the world a better day

[@hannahdale7261]

I would love to listen to your podcast again, i find it to be so genuine and comforting

[@niamogg6370]

I will never get bored of your videos however often I rewatch them they are literally a warm hug - and the podcast obv (‘late night chats’ is one of my fav podcasts of all time to this day!) Sending lots of love and positivity to you for 2023 xoxxox 🤍

[@evapearl2487]

i missed youre sit down videos! please feel like you can complain on here and on the podcast. its good for everyone to be able to express there feelings if good or bad. i think this is a very supportive space and you never have to feel bad for not being possitive!! youre the best i really missed you!

[@PaigeRadice]

i love all the content no matter how messy, chatty, aesthetic, no matter what mood you’re in !! good to have you back ❤

[@Earthisti]

Nayna, i love love love your podcasts, you have a very soothing voice, even if you're going through a rough time, it always felt relateable to me and it calmed me down

[@fatimaalamien8786]

Hey Nayna ,about ur confidence not being great and u not being happy with who you are, ik how difficult it is but pls don’t doubt ur self ur an amazing skilled hard working beautiful individual who brings so much to this world and we all know that, you just have to start believing it.

[@elizabethbarrett9028]

I love your chatty videos so much! I really relate to your feelings about transitional periods in life…I hope 2023 brings good changes your way!

[@maxdynamics23]

I think your hair looks beautiful!! It always does and will look gorgeous :))

[@rickislife]

i love how your hair looks!! generally, you look so stunning 🫶🏻 you have a glow that makes you look like a fairy, seriously 🧚🏽‍♀️ hope your 2023 will go according to your plans ✨ i love that you’re back with the rambly videos 💗

[@israhammad3624]

We missed you Nayna ❤ your hair looks amazing , hopefully you’re feeling better because after graduating it’s pretty tough

[@maximeparis7927]

Nayna, you are my comfort creator! So happy to see you again on my feed 🥰

[@Rinaa11214]

❤❤ this video felt like a podcast episode in the best way possible

[@Irene-jc8uc]

Is nice to have you back 💗 I really understand and relate with the feeling of feeling kind of lost with friends in different points of live, people still studying and others working. Sometimes I feel like I am bellow people of my age but at the end the is no correct path and it is okey to be in a different path than the "normal" and at some point I will reach stability and be okey with all the changes ✨️💫 happy 2023 and enjoy you gap year 💖

[@lucieg855]

I’m so happy when a video of yours pops up in my recommended! Missed you! Take the time you need and enjoy your gap year xx

[@sandrarenny355]

I graduated last summer and I'm currently taking a gap year! It's nice to hear your thoughts and feelings about this experience because nobody prepares you for it! Feeling so lost, it's just constant ups and downs and doubting what you're doing etc. I'm applying for master's programmes this month and I am so anxious to even start writing my personal statement, I don't know what I am so scared about but I keep putting it off. Anyways, I just wanted to say this video was like a big sigh of relief for me to know that I'm not on my own with these feelings! I think a 'post-grad diaries' video would be really nice for people in similar positions. Good luck with the applications! Lots of love xx

[@clarawerra9299]

Dear Nayna, I hope you know what a great person you are. I think for so many people here you ar H O M E. You are home to us, and that might sound pressuring but actually thats just you. You comfort us. I hope we can comfort you too. All the stuff you talk about I think everyone feels.

[@britneyfrancis5757]

Hi Nayna. It’s nice to listen to you again. 2022 was an amazing year for me- I did everything I could and I achieved everything I wanted to. But 2023 has been really hard for me, I’ve been struggling with anxiety but I know I’ll make it! Your videos really calm and motivate me ❤

[@mollybrown6461]

relate so much to feeling lower/lacking motivation at home, like I love my family and live in a nice area but I feel so much more myself and just more grounded at uni!

[@bethanyjane433]

Your shorter hair does look really nice. It brings out your eyes :)

[@annaye8667]

thank you for being so real with us!! definitely relate to some of those feelings and sending love to you nayna🫶🏻

[@ewelinak6154]

your podcast helped me to survive in 2021 soo much. May all your dreams come true in 2023! lots of love

[@dig2341]

I appreciate your vulnerability so much! It makes others who are in a similar mental space as you feel less alone ❤

[@EmilyJane9896]

I feel you with the post uni blues!!!! I found there wasn’t much out there about it, I felt so lost and alone and thrown out there. Xx I’m still going through the whole figuring it out stuff but I’m sure we will get there haha ❤

[@EmilyJane9896]

Also I would love you to focus the podcast on this time navigating life post uni. That time where nothing is certain and everyone is doing different things, would love to get your perspective on things, talking through the struggles you are finding. Also maybe interviewing others that are navigating that time of life and how they are finding it. The pros and cons of grad schemes or finding a “normal” job as such. Bills, renting, mortgages all those things that I never thought much about at uni! I definitely don’t think the podcast has to be a happy bubbly place necessarily, more like a place we can all grow together (which makes sense with the name haha), giving the highs and LOWS so we all feel less alone in the struggles including you xxxxx

[@rebecca39554]

ahhh missed you and your videos so much!! Thrilled to see you post when you can

[@ektas3688]

Nayna’s vlog on a Sunday,hope she is back on KZbin for good and long 🥺missed her weekly uploads so so much ❤️❤️

[@aimeeclark7887]

Omg Nayna I am going through a similar thing. Going through a life transition is weird and post uni depression is definitely a thing so many people (including myself) are going through. I just finished a masters and feel the same thing about being behind all my friends but we just have different paths. Remember healing is not linear and ur not going backward. Feeling lost is super valid! I’m super excited to listen to the podcast again soon 🌻🌻🌻

[@mrittikasaha1865]

Hey Nayna! Love your videos a lot and it feels relieving that you share your thoughts and feelings with us, which are mostly relatable with us as well. I look forward to the new videos that you will upload. As for suggestions for the videos, I would like to suggest posting maybe the funny bloopers of the videos or showing us your book collection and the books that you would like to read, etc. Take care!

[@journeyon5813]

Yes, please book recommendations and reviews

[@juliagats4302]

miss you sm nayna! firstly, your hair looks so good on you!! secondly, totally understandable about transitioning. im feeling that stage about to (hopefully) graduate from uni, but take your time you seem to have a really good head on your shoulders. im excited what the future will bring for you! always will support and wait for your great content 💞 sending love 🥰

[@NangRolan]

life is hard and we all need to sit down and reflect. I have learn alot, and im still learning. I realized all my friends will go their own paths in life and just accept it. I have friends who are getting married some are starting their career and im still in school. I felt it, but there's nothing wrong with being lost. Everyone was losted once in their life. Dont know what they want to do. we all have to find what makes us happy just pure happiness in whatever we are doing and just enjoying the moment. The friends who got married or starting their career they might not be happy. wrong partner or wrong career path, everyone has a problem.

[@camillathisgaard9664]

Love your videos and yes please do bring back the podcast, it's my favorite 😊

[@mafraanimal-campanhadojimm8768]

You are incredible nayna I wigh you a great 2023 Your videos and podcast are very comforting, i love it!!! You make me feel way more relaxed

[@nallurmanasaramesh88]

I love how honest you are in this video. Made me think about a lot of things happening in my life too. Hope you have a good 2023:)

[@ellab2162]

Leaving uni was a grieving process for me, starting my new life was so hard but I promise life settles

[@lexm17]

I’ve felt the same post uni! Although I’m working in a great job that I enjoy and lucky to have, I barely see my friends and I feel like I’m always comparing myself to others who seem to be always travelling and seeing friends. Just have to remember most ppl are going through the same thing but it will get better!

[@julian2098]

Love seeing you back on this channel, wish you all the best for '23 x

[@marialaurach3221]

I love your podcast! It's really chill and entertaining, I will wait for more episodes... btw native spanish speaker here for anything you need in your journey with the language

[@rickislife]

totally miss your podcast!! hope you want to pick it up again and share your beautiful thoughts with us again 🫶🏻

[@luvkav9559]

Nayna it’s okay to be ebbing and flowing… and not being the best version of you all the time, growth doesn’t always look like it’s happening but the pain of transition is the proof that your are growing and developing more and more

[@libbbi]

chatty vids are my favorite

[@danihddez]

We appreciate a lot your honesty ❤ I hope you start uploading podcast again, it helps me with my listening skills. Mucho ánimo con el español!

[@giuliapariz]

i missed you here, so excited you’re back

[@kieral4098]

I would love some new podcast episodes! Really enjoyed this catch-up video

[@edgykatrina]

hi I just found your channel and like your vibe!!! very random but I designed that sweatshirt and it made me so happy to watch you wearing it

[@resetbutton09]

You are back!! So happy to see you ❤️❤️

[@ellarowley9956]

love the chatty videos! & would be excited to see a few more podcast episodes :))

[@alanrosette4665]

I am really looking forward to the next podcast episode!

[@florecolpaert3658]

yay Nayna's back!!!

[@InesLetrillard]

Hi🍃🌸I'm feeling the same, I'm doing an erasmus but all my friends are having their 1st job, so different mood and priority and it feels weird Also about filming/vlogging, one could think it prevents you from living the moment, but filming also makes you focusing more on what you see, so in the end you're more aware, more present, and you prolongate life moments by filming and editing them🌻🌾

[@sarahoffringa]

Berlin is a great idea!! It’s so lovely here 🪴

[@emilyg8774]

I LOVE the long chat content ❤ would love more of these vids when you need ideas ❤love you

[@mrodriguez377]

I also graduated this May and have had a very rough second half of the year. Feeling lost and unworthy as well. Hope you'll find you can open up about it more. Wishing you the best. PS Chatty videos are great

[@valvt_]

I love listening to you ramble nayna, I miss your regular posting and I rlly hope that u get back into podcasting bc ur my comfort podcaster and I rlly miss it :( not pressuring tho ofc, loved this video!

[@korovuli]

Sending you lots of love Nayna!Thank you so much for sharing this video. You’ve been missed!

[@wildflwrlexi]

hey, nayna I've missed your videos so much. Watched this while doing my nails. they are in olive green now. Your videos are always so calm and I can relax so much with them. I journaled last year not so much too. Only in the first half :D which makes me a little bit sad because I would have loved to write down my thoughts in the autumn what I felt and what I've done. But I took a lot of pictures and videos to capture my favourite moments. Loved doing this! Haven't written down my 2023 goals yet want to do that today with some other people. I'm very excited what 2023 holds for me!

[@gretchendodge4078]

Hi Nayna! I just wanted to say that it’s okay to miss people who have been there through it all. It’s okay to want to see your friends when they are not around. Your friends know how much they are loved that way. Keep being you, keep doing the beautiful things you do each day even if today it’s just sayings hi to someone. Here is a poem a wrote hopefully it helps you feel better :) This world is as chaotic and crazy as it is bold and beautiful. Think about it we have water that sparkles and glistening sandy beaches. We have angel numbers that guide us on city streets, on license plates, and receipts. We have beautiful mountains to climb to get to the top to look at the everlasting valleys below We have music that we can relate to and lyrics that take us back tall a different time a hopefully happier time ! We have sunsets to chase, clouds to catch, and dreams to attract. We have trees that grow from tiny seeds. We have bees that buzz inside the honeycombs on trees. We have dolphins swimming in the seas. We have stars to see While snuggled on blankets on the beach. Or even in your back yard on camping seats. We have goat yoga And cat cafes We have world famous sculptures just built out of clay I hope your world only gets more beautiful with each day Love you xx

[@sophiarubel9786]

I’d love to listen to your podcasts even though “not everything’s good” because I’m sure it would help me and a lot of people to see that we are not alone. Authenticity it the most important thing and you are authentic 🙏🏼❤️ I miss the podcast so much !!

[@adventureswithmegan]

So lovely to see you for a chatty video again. Please do bring back the podcast if you feel able to. I’ve listened to them so much repeatedly that I know what’s coming next before you say now 😂 Also there is literally no rush with life; it will always be there.

[@annikaa.3854]

I can relate so much to what you’re saying about leaving uni, I’m also in my gap year and although I’m doing exciting stuff all the time I feel like uni was the best time of my life and from now on it’s just going downwards and I don’t have my friend group round me or any “purpose” at all 😂

[@alicelethu4764]

I love vlogs where you show where you are at at home or away and that are chatty!!

[@katisia4708]

missed you Nayna. sending you lots of love!

[@marionette1173]

I never comment on videos, but going through weird times and seeing you talking about it makes it really less lonely, so thank you so much for that ❣️

[@gagglesas]

Transitioning is hard ! Every summer when I was in uni, when I got to the family home after a holiday I would get feel depressed at suddenly having 'no purpose' and yeah not having friends around

[@aditipatil6816]

Omgggg this just made my day!!!!🥺🥺

[@lorenavibes]

[@nele123]

I would LOVE new episodes of the podcast!! But make sure you really want it and have time for it💞
