Linh, there's something so so so comforting knowing that you're experiencing school again and I'm starting college and that it's kinda similar??? The videos are so wonderful, you're such a great person :)

[@withlovelinh]

YAYAYAY good luck at college!

[@pressjidge]

I know it's a small thing, but I just wanted to say thank you for continuing to mask & showing that in your content 🫶🏾

[@withlovelinh]

ofc! :)

[@serendimity]

^^^this!! As a disabled person, I truly appreciate this

[@pothospal]

i went to the comments section immediately to say this and you beat me to it!

[@lauralettau]

im sorry to ask, but what does masking mean?

[@grapesoda1373]

@@lauralettau i think they mean wearing a mask :)

[@gorettin8220]

your video about taking a gap year to heal from the burnout, stress and just prioritize your mental health will always resonate with me. i hope this year will be graceful to you. love you!!!

[@abdierguadalupe]

I wish more people emphasized how important it is to unwind before going to bed even if it’s just for 15-20 minutes. It can improve your sleep so much!

[@muun.]

2:05 woah, seeing linh's kitchen from that perspective really made me think abt "bake with linh" type of videos and how cozy and comforting they would be!! u should really consider that!! i'd love to have a chat w/ u (i mean watching you bake and talk abt ur life ofc haha) and watch you bake tbh.

[@natasjae]

3:24 instead of using your nails, you can use a teaspoon to easily pry the single/double shot basket out of the coffee handle! it's saved me from having any kind of nail-related disasters myself :)

[@jai-bc3vk]

I was supposed to graduate this summer but sadly didn’t get to; it’s kinda lonely and sad seeing all of my friends graduate before me. I really don’t want to see my uni again lol and im actually quite scared of going back 🥹 but seeing you back in uni somewhat motivates me to overcome that fear 💓 i hope everything goes well for you this year! Also omg i think i need that litter box for my cat

[@sep3118]

I resonate with you, This year was supposed to be my high school graduation but, I fell behind during 2019. My close friend graduated and I felt really ashamed I couldn't also experience it with her. I hope your studies go well in the upcoming year, you can do this!

[@katiehope6220]

Me too girl, I went back for the first time today after all my friends left and I was silently crying in the library bc I was so overwhelmed, I feel so proud of myself for sticking with it though and as much as it’s not the ideal path, it’s the path I’m on. We are both going to absolutely smash it and I’m proud of you for going back and trying again ❤

[@Besitoskento]

Nothing better than starting the day with a video of you Linh ✨

[@withlovelinh]

love youuuuu! 🫶

[@sophiaisabelle0227]

Nice to see you again. Just know we will always support you no matter what.

[@tanjimabinta8696]

I am so deepressed about everything i feel alone. But you know what your videos give me some kind of peace. Thanks for being there for me without knowing🥺❤️

[@selizabethcameron]

I hope school is going well! Just a heads up that some essential oils are toxic to cats so it could be worth looking into if you are diffusing them :)

[@venuso6260]

yes, I was just about to comment this!!! though there are ones that are specifically toxic to cats, essential oils in general are usually very harmful to them because of their delicate lungs!! eucalyptus oil, which was mentioned in the video, is one of the many toxic essential oils to cats. These essential oils aren't just dangerous if ingested but also when simply breathed in by them. I really don't mean to scare anyone of course, just please be sure to look into each and every type of essential oil you use! I just looked up ones okay with cats and some sites recommend rosemary, copaiba, helichrysum, oregano, frankincense, and cedarwood essential oils. It also says chamomile, lavender, thyme, and valerian can be tolerable. Though be sure to keep cats in a fairly well-ventilated area or have the diffuser in a fairly large room to be safe! It's also a very good idea to diffuse the essential oils at very low concentrations. (anyone using this information please be sure to also research the specifics of essential oils yourself as well to double then triple check to make sure you use ones that are safe for your pets. I only did a very quick google search)

[@venuso6260]

oh turns out Linh already learned about this from another comment!! I'm so glad they already found out

[@emman8085]

I feel like linh should definitely do a recipes video cause your meals look so GOOD😋

[@withlovelinh]

hmmmm….i will definitely do that for my back to school series!

[@aminaasworld]

dude, this is such ironic timing ! i’m also going back to school this fall so i’m excited to see you talk about your nerves and slight fears because i’ve been feeling the same way, but we got this !

[@withlovelinh]

Yes cheers to the both of us! :,)

[@alcaeusandrea]

The path going to get coffee is so familiar and so nostalgic considering I've been watching you YT videos since your Starfruit Press creation video. I switched majors from Nursing to Computer Science (software engineering) and so I was going to graduate in 24 but now I am graduating in 25. Which is okay, but I love watching your college diaries videos because it really is a good white noise to listen to in the background whilst grinding my major. I hope you fulfilled your gap year to your heart's content, but it looks to me that you definitely enjoyed taking that break and it was well deserved. Cheers to a good school year!

[@chammilleon]

I'm studying for my board exams 2 years after graduating college... there's calculus on it and it's been 7 years since I took it and I've forgotten everything ; u; Guess we both got a lot of work to do this summer. I'm rooting for you! We can do ittt

[@marimaybemarie]

Your videos give me so much comfort and motivation, I literally learned English while watching your videos

[@fritzdusseldorff]

I went to Georgetown in the early 2000s. So nostalgic seeing the campus and libraries! Love it.

[@fayecortez3355]

Dropping by to say ,, your channel has been an ultimate comfort space for me. I always look forward to new uploads and re-watch old videos to calm my soul ever since I stumbled upon your video on starting a sticker shop. Thank you for existing!!

[@fersalazar6706]

Linh, this saturday i will know if i got into college, and i am afraid but at the same time excited. I love your vlogs and cheers me up to see you go back to college, inspires me to just enjoy and let everything flow. ily sm 🩷🩷

[@idioticbec2422]

It's great to see you back in college Linh! Currently i'm in semester 3, i'm struggling a lot but i'll try my best! Hope you get used to college soon!

[@owlsgurl]

I'm so excited to see what this year goes for you. Good luck on the college journey and definitely got this! Remember to breathe. Yes this is so normal for not being ready to go back to college. You need a break so don't ever feel bad about it alright. I love you're content

[@idoesntshine]

ahhh i cant believe ive been watching you for years, through pandemic til now ☺️ its so comforting and healing watching you it influences me to make a move of my life too! 💛💛

[@_dylusional]

a 25 minute linh video!! you’re spoiling us omg

[@sxvii_]

Ah I love this! Makes me so excited to go back to uni in September to study my master’s since I graduated in 2021 🥲

I really don't mean to scare anyone of course, just please be sure to look into each and every type of essential oil you use!

[@venuso6260]

oh nvm, through scrolling the comments I found one where you replied to someone already letting you of the dangers, I'm so glad you found out!

[@DistinctiveHere]

Your videos are just so nice and calming, they just complete change my mood. ❤

[@haldiroot]

I get you on not feeling like you're prepared to go back to school! Honestly sometimes I spend half the time on a break fretting over the next semester. I'm so glad you got to do so many of the things you wanted in your gap year! I'm debating doing a little gap semester to do some work/travel/art after I finish up my nursing degree (wow, by next year's end?! Time is wild) and before I finish up my bachelors the semster after. I'm so excited but so scared. I guess that's what makes the future so interesting anyway haha

[@Isabel-fs1fv]

I absolutely love your vlogs, they’re so comforting, and watching you start school again really eases my worry about starting my last year of college especially since I have to study for grad school exams this summer.

[@iffat_siddique0760]

why didnt i find ur channel before...omg u r so cute and adorable...loved ur vlogs

[@laursandlin]

I just wanted to thank you for being you. I started watching your videos during Covid and you really helped me get through a hard time. I learned from you that while it’s wonderful to have good friends it’s also a joy to be alone and be in your own presence. Thank you ❤

[@laaraazz]

I want to cry, Kayla is so sweet 😭😭

[@moondiee_]

i really like your editing style and the way you film ur daily routine naturally jus showing what you do and how to have work-life balance that's all about trials and errors i hope you have good days ahead back to uni and don't forget to always treat yourself well can be anything going see some friends, a meal, movie, drama small things makes ur life easier, good luck linh 🌺🌱

[@misfit27]

all i really wanna say is take it easy, linh. there's really going to be some adjustments esp assimilating back into that lifestyle again but just remember to pause and breathe. you got this. you deserve breaks & to also be fearful but i know you'll be okay 💜💜💜💜

[@Smrtldybg88]

Wishing you the best of luck on your GRE! You got this! 👍

[@RoseMaze]

i’m so proud of you! i’ve been here forever and glad to see you continue your schooling

[@_mskhaze]

yeahh welcome back to the school grind!! all my friends from my old school have started their summer break while i still have a month to go, it’s nice to see someone else still have to be productive w schoolwork. also totk! hope u enjoy, i got around 75 hours so far n it’s such a masterpiece. if u ever stream games again would def watch a totk stream ^^

hi linh ! so happy to hear that youre going back to school ! i find your videos super comforting and also get meal ideas from them too. just wanna note that many essential oils are toxic to cats (including eucalyptus oil) so do research about any essential oils you plan on using in your home aka whether they are safe for cats etc hope you have an awesome day ahead!

[@lao6823]

Yes, I've read that cats can't process essential oils and as looking for a comment that warned her. I second that.

[@jachineoguta1956]

Linh let me tell you I made the same mistake when I bought the Aesop hand lotion and just tapped the card and felt the pain. BUT I've been using that hand lotion on my whole body for 3 months now and trust me it's one of the best investments I've ever made my skin has never felt so soft and my friends can't stop touching me🤣🤣

[@nathanieldevine4467]

your home is so cute, i love it! I've always wanted decor like that :) I'm excited for when I move out someday

[@Alkestisj]

linh thank u so much for still masking and protecting yourself and your community

[@cat_le123]

I definitely feel your concerns about getting back into traditional school. I studied in Vietnam last semester and it was mostly travel + experiential learning, which was absolutely life-changing, but I feel so unprepared to get back into a routine for my final year at college ;-;

[@katnovak8837]

Hi Linh, make sure to check the types of oil you use for your diffuser. Some can be bad for cats.
