chaotic academia at its finest | reading vlog

[@StoriesForCoffee]

The instrumental music reminds me of the times when Hannibal is preparing food in his kitchen and you can hear the distant screams of me saying: THAT. IS. NOT. BEEF.

[@paperbackdreams]

HAHAHAH

[@LeComplice]

I laughed out loud

[@lisrql]

[@nosferiotu]

The instrumental music is so dramatic - I am LIVING for it.

[@baer_bara]

Vivaldi 4 life

[@madzwrld]

I feel like so much classical music is dramatic lol

[@adrianwilson1689]

It’s “The Four Seasons” by Antonio Vivaldi. This is the Summer trio

[@nabiilebenkerouch4223]

I love you

[@amisha25211]

Ikr! The violin is sick! Classical music>>>most of today's music which is essentially just noise.

Kat: "the fact that people want to read my recommendations is bananas to me" also Kat: *has 249k subscribers on her KZbin channel where she recommends books.*

[@vaeholloway]

Hahah I bet she’s still confused by it. Doesn’t realize she’s great.

[@barbaragray4885]

Whats means is bananas?

[@ialwaysfrown2975]

We're getting closer and closer to the day when Kat will ascend from making normal booktube videos and start creating eccentric and abstract pieces of art,like all the greats before her

[@darknessdescends6701]

False advertising. That was way more entertaining than a "normal" week.

[@manya2954]

I have a fat crush on the current state of your hair

[@danielaaleman7394]

Kat's a good student, you can not say she's not, I mean, she just made a timeline for organizing her ideas, I'm so into this

[@paperbackdreams]

my gpa feels validated thank u

[@maia_gaia]

The manic energy for two hours only to cut to "I've written a page" is a college mood. I don't miss it lol

[@thewritingsilhouette6983]

"HeEeRe's LaRrY!" honestly all of yall could do a reenactment of the shining's most iconic moments and i wouldn't complain

[@annithomas8749]

long speed shot of her doing school work: "I wrote one page" LMFAOOOO

[@samuelt3454]

3:25 didnt notice you were on your knees so I was like "why is the furniture so high"

[@benjaminrosendallarsen1969]

I just thought she was short...

Sammmeee I thought exactlyyyyyy that🤣🤣

*the way the music intensified when she seems to be freaking out over something and the way the video speeds up when she seems to be yelling*

[@KnittikatRetraystat]

My kittens watched this with me and they kept trying to eat my phone; I’m gonna have to conclude that the energy of this video is so good that they had no choice but consume it to gain its power

[@francescakyanda9182]

This made my DAY thank you for this

[@itsnlee]

If anyone is interested in the classical pieces: 1:30 Vivaldi - Storm 4:13 Litvinovsky - Le Grand Cahier X. L’Incendie Kat your taste is exquisite

[@feb4305]

THANKYOU I CAN NOW ACT LIKE A CAFFEINE DRUNK ACADEMIC WHEN I PAINT

[@fate7941]

Omg, thank you so so much aaa

[@rumaisaelhakeem3490]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SEARCH FOR THEM SPECIFICALLY THE FIRST MINUTE !!!!

[@noix666dezephir]

Maybe you don’t realize it but you have no idea how your (reading) vlogs are fun and comforting to watch. It’s like being invited in a cozy bubble and it’s awesome. And the fact that it’s sometimes chaotic and disorganized adds to all this. It gives it a very distinct atmosphere and identity to your footage that I personally love. So, if sometimes you hesitate vlogging because you fear it’ll be “contentless”, don’t. As far as I am concerned it’s always a pleasure to watch. Lots of love with a mask on and social distancing types of hugs from France.

[@meeramoorthy4215]

wow you were really not lying when u said "become increasingly more unhinged"

[@parikajain7750]

The minimal halloween decor in your room is just *chefs kiss*

[@lizzymadhatter4879]

10:38 i've read radio silence, pretty girls, everything i never told you, bunny, hunger, i'm thinking of ending things, sharp objects, the great believers, how to make friends with the dark, long way down and the poet x because of you so yeah... people want to read your recs!

[@paperbackdreams]

that's BONKERS!!!!

[@broadwaybutterfly310]

Kat read Pretty Girls?? Is that where I got that rec from?? I couldn't remember if I got it from a booktuber or just stumbled upon it myself.

[@lizzymadhatter4879]

@@broadwaybutterfly310 yes, of course, there was even a Papercut discussion covering it!

[@lizzymadhatter4879]

@@paperbackdreams many more are awaiting actually haha i honestly can't wait for your horror recs!!

[@temiarvw1360]

That is some dramatic music for our dramatic queen.

[@karimmohamed7285]

This felt like a Wes Anderson short film

[@keepsusstargazing2505]

"What is this, week 8? Ew. We've been doing this for 8 weeks?" ME.

[@Sofia-lu1tp]

I was literally writing a paper about how greek culture has built ours and you posted your video and I was like... Excuse me? KAT IS ALL THE CULTURE I NEED.

[@jaylenholman4026]

POV: your me watching the Monday montage and thrusting your head to every stroke of the violin

[@stefaniemollinedo577]

I was moving my hand to the rhythm because I’m a violin player.😂

[@ellis1034]

I had to cover my front camera because that’s what I was doing hahaha

[@ellis1034]

To be more precise I screencasted the video on my tv and shook my whole upper body, you can paint your own image if you like (if not I understand, I am incredibly sleep deprived)

[@definitelymaybe4934]

you might think it's an atrocity but this is the content i needed

[@arcane9205]

Kat: "Basically I'm really close to *one* of my aunts-" Me: *Oh shit, drama.*

[@cookiethief100]

Kat has posted? What a blessing ✨

[@jade-mack]

as a recent college grad who wrote my best papers while writing stuff down on a whiteboard while yell-explaining things to my friends, i support

[@NesosRomanus]

God Kat is the most lovable person in the world, holy shit

[@staciecremeans1350]

The music you chose for this video gave me Alfred Hitchcock Vertigo vibes and I like that. Really gave the impression you were slowly losing your mind. 11/10

[@123emiemi]

hey Kat!! just want to say another thank you for all ur content this year, it’s been a big part of me surviving everything!! ☺️

[@hyanchichou7179]

Absolutely relatable 🤝

[@paperbackdreams]

[@sushmeetsandhu8975]

When the violin starts playing in the beginning and we see her working feverishly, then she be like "ive only written a page." did anyone else think of that spongebob episode when he's going crazy writing that paper only to have written "the." hahahahaha :D

[@swasthikasuresh4728]

i come back to this even after a year because it still motivates me smh

[@JaskeeratSinghSandhu]

Honestly after watching Noelle’s vid I was like it’s been a while since Kat uploaded And here we are I’m so happy :))

[@sarahscott409]

"in the year 3000, as our faves the Jo Bros said" I will have you know that ACTUALLY that song was written by the british legends that are Busted, that music video is honestly.... a chaotic MESS i highly recommend

[@sock9766]

Saying “Bewildered” will give Kat PTSD from “that specific series I rated ;)”

[@haley5803]

I totally second what you said about the US education system. A quote that has always stuck with me was from my AP psych teacher in high school was "school steals your joy of reading." They were totally right - Prior to high school and college, I routinely read multiple and varied types of books and it was my biggest hobby growing up. Now I am 24 with a masters and JUST NOW getting back into reading for fun. It's still such a struggle to focus on books, but watching your channel has been such a fun ride and inspiration. Thanks for all the chaotic content!

[@Lina-vs2ei]

i'm so here for this academia content (but also that intro like yes)

[@Ash-gy6em]

i mean if you ever plan to change this channel to studytube, just know that I'll be here. 👀❤

[@k.s.2091]

i loved this video a lot despite how chaotic it is that’s my favorite thing

[@valenfr01]

i really was just vibing with that violin over the monday montage

[@eneria06]

"the fact that ppl wanna read my rec. is bananas to me" 10:38 meanwhile im nearly done reading radio silence and ordered the troop today all because of you lmao (radio silence is a masterpiece btw im in luv ;-; )

[@paperbackdreams]

COMPLETELY BANANAS!!! enjoy the troop!

[@jimcuster3677]

I've been out of school for several years. Every time I wax nostalgic about college life I'm going to watch this video to snap me back to reality.

[@tanishababbal3306]

The meme editing in the intro really matches the chaoticness of the video.

[@emilygrace2589]

Your journey with the paper you were writing at the beginning was me with every essay I ever wrote at uni

[@bruna-ju9rk]

I CAN'T STOP SMILING 🥺

[@taylorlosey5911]

instead of preparing for my class that starts in 15 minutes i’m going to watch this

[@RubyRaeReads]

"it's going to be a day of riveting content you can get nowhere else" indeed it is, katherine

[@andretthew]

Larry's face appearing in that window made me jump

[@tismiagain]

I absolutely love your vibes bro. If you think this blog wasn't trashy content, trust me on this, it wasn't. It HELPED me get in my seat and start studying. I need more of this Kat. Here, love you for you.. whatever you're doing these days 💗

[@Anita-nw5ts]

Don't apologize, this is exactly the type of content we want ;)

[@cookiethief100]

Me seeing you plan that essay for art history in the Bronze Age is so exciting to me bc I study archaeology and it sounds soooo interesting!!

[@AsdfAsdf-mi6ks]

I too am in Archeology.

[@AsdfAsdf-mi6ks]

I’m NOT very good at it tho

[@mowesrik]

Yee! As a soon to be history student, this is super interesting😍

[@harsimrankaur3953]

Kat and Harry Styles are the same, they both starve us thoroughly before posting anything 😂

I thought you were standing at 3:27 and kept thinking "wow, thats a really big chair" *facepalm* Ps: loved the Vivaldi segment

[@rubinrotfan7616]

Watching this after spending an entire day studying and stressing over uni - - this is really relatable content. We love to see. The spinning around on the chair in the first 2 minutes or so truly spoke to me

[@black_saturn]

The bit of Vivaldi made my heart smile ngl the king of chaotic music

[@howstrangehowsmall]

The way you say "what's up TUESDAY?!" like a bully, I diiiiied

[@MissBerries]

chaotic academia is my new drag name

[@tamara5196]

the vivaldi hit me like a freight train. it made the chaotic academia experience 10x more chaotic, and i live for it.

[@Sana-en9bp]

this is the most chaotic academic thing I’ve seen so far

[@frantiskavokurkova2351]

i study exactly the same way, being messy, talking to myself and everything and it’s such a relief seeing that i am not the only one!! thank you for this content from the bottom of my heart

[@she6497]

Me, who isn't american: am in love with the catcher in the rye . Kat: "I gave it 2 stars" Me: "keep calm keep calm, keeeeep calm"

[@praalgraf]

the most relatable part is (are? is? english is dumb and not my native language) the many confused faces kat makes throughout this

[@vettethewarlock5448]

Kat getting stressed about Mycenaean art while an energy drink sits ominously in the foreground basically sums up my education, thank you, I feel represented

[@harleybiala]

Kat using Vivaldi’s Summer from Four Season and reminding me of rewatching Portrait of a Lady on Fire after this video.

[@aubreyjdickens]

as someone who is prepping an essay on why dionysus is just greek jesus- i really loved your mycenaean culture essay writing section

[@SR-jn3zj]

the grave stuff!! the mycenaeans were so wild with how often the graves changed!! I was basically buzzing when you said "bronze age art" LOVE IT

[@youmnahammouda9883]

8:05 this is the content I came for, thank you larry.

[@yasminnn8]

I already bought the troop but I've been too scared to read it. This was a fun video to watch! I'm also struggling with assignments so seeing you get your work done is really motivating. Me being able to say "I would call this day a success" while my dad watches over me the way Larry did at 8:05 is the dream

[@essxsolo]

the way I relate to this on both an academic and spiritual level

[@Strudalzzz]

im LIVING for the manic/frazzled energy in this video. I, a junior in college, am also absolutely frazzled at all times. we're all suffering together

[@lectershunt]

the instrumental music making everything feel very dramatic and high stakes YES loved that

[@Savvy1718]

Did I watch this at 10:30pm to avoid a paper due at midnight I haven’t finished and feel the deep irony of it? Absolutely 1000% (Worth it and weirdly motivating to work)

[@kimallyson5445]

i love this type of vlog. makes me feel normal cuz most of the youtubers i subscribe to have normal sleep schedule and has routines (which i wanna do but am clearly failing). SOOO, i watch this whenever i want someone to be chaotic with 🤠

[@annas4975]

peak chaotic vibes that I am feeling every day as an academic. It's the vibe

[@kimallyson5445]

this type of vlog is so realistic, it makes me feel better about the fact that i ignore most of my school responsibilities 😌

[@mariyamurashko6425]

I love this with an intense passion its giving me fuel for my chaotic academia jazz

[@wizz2081]

'the fact that people wanna read my recommendations 🤯' Girl you inspired me to start reading again after abandoning it for like 5 years (and yes, your recommendations always deliver!!)

[@SageReads]

“Every time I think about this book I just *turns into Alanis Morrisette*”

definitely relatable, since I went through similar motions while working on a college presentation this week! I felt like your Monday was my Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday.

[@martinasophiaisaksen3034]

I am here for the chaos and only the chaos. And she delivers spectacularly.

[@jaya5692]

As a classically trained violinist, all I get from these instrumental pieces that you've placed in here is nightmares about the endless hours of practice I did to play these pieces 😂. So thank you Kat for giving me nightmares.

I don't even have words to express how relatable this video is

[@chanelletime]

[@margohansonhighkingsupreme7279]

you give me chaotic comfort which is good because calm comfort makes me uncomfortable

[@wochenente6977]

OMG YOU PUT MY RELATIONSHIP WITH CLASSICS IN A SENTENCE! I also like reading classics and I also like researching them, reading articles that analyse the story or give background information on the themes and motifs or the time period or the author. And the idea pf being a literature student, working with books academically sounds kinda cool but also I just want to read, shittalk characters I don't like and ask stupid questions all day, not analyse what the colour of the curtains symbolises or be forced to say intelligent stuff cause I'm not clever and I don't ever pick up on subtlety or symbols... Basically I would love to study literature but also I would fail at it. So I just keep reading them myself or with bookclubs, research a little but and enjoy literature without any pressure to perform well academically

[@scherezadekhan9787]

Your bronze age essay ~journey~ gave me flashbacks to undergrad in a BIG WAY lmao - I was a history major and have definitely taken over a conference room with my notes and felt that dramatic music in my soul 🙈 you give wonderful recs (finished I'm Thinking of Ending Things last night and was like 🤯🤯) , your content is great and I'm rooting for you!

[@luisas.7113]

love that dose of kat videos when i'm feeling a little down
