Happy new year!!! I always wonder how you do those bookcovers for your bookjournal. Would you do a “how I do my bookjournal“ kind of video?!?! Also: THANK YOU FOR RECOMMENDING THE RAVEN CYCLE!!! I loved the series. Finished the last book this week.

[@annatherese02]

I'm so used to seeing your dark room and the gloomy urban atmosphere of new york that the change of color and whitebalance in your new videos is refreshing 🪄

[@pietradeister767]

that's exactly what a repeat to myself, reading is supposed to be fun!

[@Anajele]

The intro!!! Pop off bestie have a peaceful 2024 kat ✨️

I love Lacy. Your shirt and hair juxtaposed against the warm colors of the couch, walls, and curtain behind you when you were talking about applying to grad school, car stuff, and anxiety made me think of the Mona Lisa. Your messy up-do and earrings around the 18-minute mark is sooo 90s cool. It makes me think of Marisa Tomei in the film "Only You" (Norman Jewison, 1994).

i love seeing you doing your thing in your indigenous country ❤️ it feels nostalgic, as someone who also would visit their country (Chile) during christmas 🥹❤️ it’s been years and i really want to go back. thank you for sharing your experience with us 🥹

[@hunteriskindacool]

Hi Katherine! I'm so excited to see your experience with grad school and your study focus! A few videos ago, you mentioned Haunani-Kay Trask, who is one of my HEROES! As a Native Hawaiian creative, it is so empowering to see how you're exploring the commodification of culture--which is something we continue to experience in Hawaii. Good luck with all of your applications! :)

"hoo hoo poo poo pi pi" got me rolling

[@isabellabautista6481]

Happy new year! Seeing you apply to grad school is so motivating yet so anxiety inducing 😭 I dropped out of a master program in 2021, took a break due to burnout, and am hoping to apply to two grad programs in a new state (currently living at home to save money to move) within the next year…. I feel like I’m taking way too long and am just so worried about failure 🥲

[@emilycameron3512]

good luck with your grad school application!! i’m starting my phd in chemistry this year and i am v nervous

[@srishti9938]

Its been 5 yrs since i have been watching your videos….❤❤ happy new year kat

[@BrendaMichelleReads]

Always love your cozy vlogs ❤Hopefully you get in to the program. Like my mom says “Lo que es pa ti es pa ti” if it’s meant to be it will that helps me when I’m feeling stressed or anxious about work or career related things 😊

[@paulinee.g]

I love starting the week with your vlogs ! You're also making me crave ice cream in January. that's a first. :) Also I just want to say that you are so pretty !!!! like !!! stop!!!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Sending you good vibes for your application!!!

[@fillireads]

Thank you for the new video 🥰 I hope everything goes well with the applications! Can't wait for your next video already 😍

[@maritzelcastillon1969]

What a wonderful way to the start of the day off! Happy new year, wishing you health, success, and lots of fun reads 🫶🏽 thank you for always providing the vibes in our lives ✨✨

[@thatss0laura]

good luck with your applications!! also just realized the first time I actively remember watching ur vids was jan 2019 so it’s been 5 years now hehe rooting for you always girlie 🫶

[@CrystalPistal99]

Happy New Year! I love the new intro, that crisp paper noise is so nice on the ears lol. I'm also proud of you for getting these collage apps done! I know how anxiety can make these mundane things so hard sometimes! I know you had to miss your appt because of your mom's car but hopefully you can still get to the doc for some anxiety meds ♥♥ Forever grateful for you and look forward to what you have in store for us in this new year! Hope you and lil Rocky are well ♥♥

[@shannonkelly6794]

heyy Katherine, wishing you all the best for the new year! I hope you are successful with your applications❤

[@LochsLibrary]

“hoo hoo, poo poo pee pee” 😭😂

[@mervegunal2739]

After NY, I'm wondering how Rocky is feeling over there. That little pumpkin

[@MaryJXOXOPLans]

How are you enjoying your visit? Happy New Year! 🥳

[@_Lifewithlayla_]

Love your content❤️❤️🤍

[@blenthusiasts]

ahh your listening to the same version i listened to for the FOTR right now !

[@MariaLopez-hb1cq]

Hey girl! How do you print your book covers? I tried looking at your old videos and I can never find it 😭

[@lizziedeerest]

So happy for your upload today, Belize is beautiful! Sorry for the random Splatoon tangent but I was wondering if you’ve ever played the story mode of Splatoon 3? It is absolutely stunning. The environment is much bigger than the battle stages, so there’s something satisfying about moving through the levels. And like while I don’t want to spoil anything, there was one level that was really cool because it’s a maze, but then the maze gets flipped vertically and you have to climb back through it. If you haven’t played it yet, I hope you might consider it 🙈 I’d be so curious to hear your thoughts. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead! 💙
