My Experience as an "Adult Student" in College

[@edward5408]

blair is like that low maintaince bestie you’ve had for years that you catch up with every once and a blue moon. and whenever you guys meet up, y’all pick up right where you left off and it’s always love. ❤️

[@12harrypotterfan34]

This is a great way of putting it. I’m around Blair’s age and watched all her videos religiously when I was in high school/early college. Although she’s a stranger, it sort of feels like I grew up with her in a lot of ways.

[@poppycalliope]

I totally agree ❤

[@Elizabeth-zc9vo]

100% agree!!

[@ashl905]

yes! perfectly put :)

[@jonaslover8246]

A whole college graduate, interior designer, and a professor. Blair pulled a bridgit mendler on us.

[@josselynlinares7502]

I miss this girl so much. Watching her gives me that feeling of "home". 💕

[@juicystar07]

this is so sweet! thank you :)

[@TayTayNicoleXO]

I just told my best friend today, "Elle and Blair were my role models, I miss them"

[@MariaZapata-fv7ok]

It's been so fun seeing all the "OG" YT beauty YTs pivot as they get older and move into new experiences. I love watching all the YTs I feel like I grew up with really find themselves and their passion outside of YT. From Ingrid's candle company to Elle's book and lifestyle videos/sticker shop to Estee's body care company and Allison's travel/photography videos, it's so fun to see where everyone ended up from the Beauty YTer start. Thank you for still doing videos and updating us on your life, you don't have to but it's nice to see how everyone is doing in their lives!

[@Lmoviexoxo12]

No one is ever too old to go back to college. I did the “regular” college, did work, and went back at 29 to become a hygienist. There’s no rule for what life should be! So proud of you finding something you love and fulfilling to you ❤

[@hays0714]

Girl this is literally me right now! Do you love being a hygienist? I’m 31 and starting the program soon

[@shimrsparklshine]

[@devankathryn]

Blair, just for the record, not only are you a KZbinr, you’re THE OG!!! You deserve all the respect in every facet! ❤

[@Marilee444]

Nearing 30 and planning on going to law school- this was literally the video I needed from my childhood KZbin buddy. You are such a gem ❤

[@PhoebeAshmore13]

OMGHHKP - I have missed your videos! I used to watch your videos back in 2009 for makeup tutorials, but I think I love watching you smash your career and education way more! There is part of me that, in hindsight, wishes I had waited to go to university until I knew exactly what I wanted to do and would probably have gotten more value from the experience. However, I recently made a career change in a direction I'm super happy with. You can always learn more, go back to school or make a career change - few choices in life are totally irreversible, and there isn't an age you have to have made all your major life decisions by!

[@juicystar07]

That's so true! Very few decisions are irreversible. Proud of you for doing what makes you happy!

[@CindyReyes]

It feels so beautiful and nostalgic to open up KZbin and get so excited to see you uploaded a video. As a 29 year old mom of two who hasn’t finished collage and thinking of going back, this video healed my soul a little today 🩵

[@callmetori2424]

I’m a teacher with a bachelor’s and master’s with no intentions of going back to college but I stayed for the entire video because it’s so cool to see someone I’ve followed since I was 15 and you were 16 come on the internet for the first time in forever to share a life update! I’m so happy that you are happy and I will forever watch your videos that don’t apply to me because, in the same way that watching a favorite tv show can get you through tough times, watching your “what’s in my bag” and makeup tutorial videos got me through tough times (and great times tbh) since 15. Seeing you happy now somehow continues to heal that part of me in the same way that having a new season of your favorite show is comforting. Except like times 10 because your a real person who is actually happy. Congratulations on all of your successes and I’m super excited to catch up even more with future videos!

[@jenniferjohnston3893]

Yes, yes! You said it so well. Better than TV. Good, bad, everything in between, she gives us the gift of her real life.

[@amalbak1427]

I can relate that she helped me in tough times 😢 she is smart and pretty such a good role model for younger age

[@meera99999]

Ahh! I love it when I randomly think to check your channel and its right then that you post new videos! Been watching since 2008 and now I'm 26, literally grew up with you and Elle! Sending you so much love :)

[@NechelleP]

Same, i think about elle and that automatically includes blair and the other og youtuber. Im glad she posted updates.

[@nicolegordon6161]

Zero plans on ever going back to school. Watched the whole video…. Love real life content from creators! Your life now is more interesting and relatable to me now than old content ever was (still watched that though 😂). I’m excited for your upcoming videos!

[@ApplesThatRead]

Even back to your OG youtube days, the thing I love to this day about your decor style is your use of wallpaper! That background is stunning!!

[@alisonjoanneortiz]

BLAIR IM SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS!!!!!! rooting for you and I’ve missed you on here ❤

[@harvvv30]

It is the best kind of day when Blair uploads a video!! Love that you're speaking on this. "Adult Students" are becoming more and more the norm as people's life paths take them in different directions.

[@juicystar07]

Yes! When I started there were only a few of us in the Arch & design college at Belmont, now it seems like its doubling every semester! It's never too late!

[@gabrielaalejandrabautistar5484]

Blair is my entire childhood I grew up watching her and Elle, I'm so glad they are super happy and thriving and they found a path they love and sometimes we get these updates on their lives, is really fulfilling to see them here and there and to know they are doing great. Also Blair I did my master when I was 28 and a lot of people were on the older side, don't be afraid time pass by super fast, highly recommend the experience!

[@acast297]

These notifications could pop up once every three years and I’d still click as fast as I can and watch. ❤

[@Luzalvarez]

These videos feel like a best friend catching up after years of distance but it still feels like just yesterday we spoke. I started watching you when I was around 11, now I’m 25 and ALSO going back to school as an adult student. I start next week, thank you for this Edit: I just realized I ALSO work at an architectural firm this is so weird

[@ems-ou6lz]

[@emilydiane4831]

Been here since 2009, you've continued to inspire me for 15 years Blair!

[@Keepinitreal55]

I watched this just to catch up on where you’ve been girl. So proud of you for wanting to grow as a person, makes me respect you so much more! You’ve really grown from that young bubbly KZbinr!

[@heyyitskay]

I literally grew up with you since the beginning. We’re the same age and I always knew I wasn’t going to go through the “traditional” college experience but ended up starting college around the same time you did! I got my cosmetology license after high school and worked in the field for years and decided to completely switch careers. It’s hard to not feel like you’re too old as an adult student and my brain does not intake information like it used to, but anyone who is going through a similar journey, you’re doing great and it’s never too late to rewrite your career path! ❤

Blair seeing you thrive brings me joy to my ears and eyes! Long time watcher since 2009. You are still my favorite creator after all these years. You are the OG in my opinion and nobody can take your place in my mind. There is not any KZbinr I have invested my time for as long as yours! It's like having a long-time friend that you could never abandon. I don't care if you only post periodically I'm still going to be here! I'm so happy for you!!

[@jenniferjohnston3893]

Yes, yes, and yes!

[@567Katii]

This was such a heartwarming video to watch!! I'm also an OG subbie since 2008, and we're the same age. I finished school, went to univeristy, quit, worked, went back to university aged 21 as a "mature student" (UK starts it at 21) then worked, then finally did my Masters in Occupational Therapy at the beginning of Covid - now I'm 2 years into my careers as an Occupational Therapist. I think life has a different path for everyone, no one has to follow the set route. I'm so happy you've found your calling!

[@FunkyFish24]

Blair, it's been quite a ride from my early days at 11 when I first discovered you, to now at 26. While my KZbin habits have shifted, seeing your video today brought back fond memories and put a smile on my face. Thanks for being a consistent source of joy over the years!

[@meganc5765]

Blair I am SO happy to see this video! I think it’s awesome that you transitioned into this direction! Honestly, I would much rather see what your life NOW looks like, rather than your previous LA life. It just seems more relevant and relatable. ❤

[@hateoutsiders]

Blair!!! It's so amazing to hear that you're thriving! Thank you for sharing that it's never too late for a change. It's amazing to look back at how far we've come! Crazy to think I've been watching you since the OG days. Thank you for occasionally popping back in, it's always a pleasure! ❤

You have created a new career with bravery and grace, and I’m thrilled to get to follow along. It was a joy to see you on my feed this morning!

[@expensivepink7]

you are the first youtuber i EVER watched, literally EVER. i am so proud of you for this!!! i am a law student and i am so happy when people choose to go into higher education "later" in life (even tho 26 is so young overall!) my mom is almost 60 and recently got her MFA after wanting to for so long. it was different than she expected, but she's really glad she finally did it :)

[@JessCapelini]

I've been watching your videos since 2010. It was a big thing for me to improve my English at the time and all the way from Brazil, I have been here watching us grow together! Since my birthday is 3 days before yours, you are always on my mind at the end of March/beginning of April, and right now I'm 5 years into a remote job that the primary language used is English. So this video really felt like catching up on life lol Thank you for this, for sure it will help adult students or people looking for applying as one! It warmed my heart seeing you happy with the path you've taken! Like a friend I haven't seen in 5 years telling me she is happy and what happened in the meantime! ❤

[@ashleyeliza3018]

doesn't matter how long it is between videos, hearing what your passionate about and wanting to inspire others is so worth the wait!! Started watching you when I was 15 and now I'm 25!! Will always love you Blair ❤ breath of fresh air on this platform!

[@nikkienix884]

I grew up in a home where my mother really wasnt mentally present and my older sister was always doing her own thing. I remember finding your channel all those yeara ago and looking to you as a role model and "big sister." I really learned so much from you that i should have from a sister or a mother so thank you for everything that you have done and continue to do! You are such a huge part of why i am the woman that i am today!❤

[@juicystar07]

This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing these kind words with me.

[@catthebeautyhunter]

I would love to see a video sharing your experience about the beginning of your career as a KZbinr to today in terms of the business side. How you grew your channel, how you began and ran your businesses. Products, financial acumen, marketing, analytics, etc. How much was you. How much was outsourced (as an example a lot of KZbinrs outsource editing and posting). What kinds of meetings you attended with executives or otherwise from what businesses. Who helped you, how you learned, mistakes and successes, what that all felt like at that age. How did it all build on itself from beginning to today and what practical skills, business acumen, and self image/confidence or insecurity did you gain as a result. Then moving forward into leaving KZbin. You speak here about some of the fear and transitions--what was the reality like financially. Were there still ties to businesses? How did you represent yourself in your essays? How did you represent yourself in your resume and interviews? Meaning, what did you share about your career, how did you speak about it? What were critical points you felt showcased what you had accomplished? All of these deeper details would be so fascinating and educational!

[@CharlottesSkye]

I'll echo many of the comments but watching you makes me feel nostalgic in the best way possible. I used to watch you and Elle since back in 2010 on my little not even proper smartphone samsung. I'm now 27 and just got my masters in interior architecture this past summer! lots of love + excited to see where you will be going xx

I feel like I have a bond with you because you are the person that got me into beauty videos on KZbin around 2009 when I was like 12 years old and I just found out you didn’t start college until you were 26 and I started last year at 26 too without knowing this 😭. I just started my second year yesterday and I go through periods where I feel like the odd one out being so much older than most of the other students so, this was really comforting ❤️.

Turning 26 in a couple months and this is kinda where my mind is going. I have a baby on the way and I’m scared I wouldn’t be able to do it but honestly I may just start small. This inspired me. ❤

[@sarahdez1]

I’m so happy for you! I also had a quarter-life crisis at 25 years old! At the time I was working as an architect and was so unhappy with my career choice unfortunately. However I had invested all this energy studying in a field that I realized didn’t interest me at all. I finally gathered enough courage to go back to college and study in a different field. I graduated at 29 and now I’m 33 and I’m just SO glad I did it. It took a lot of courage, but it is so so so worth it to do something that you truly love!

[@kreesmm]

You’re so cool, Blair. You were the first ever makeup KZbinr I watched when I was probably 14 and it’s crazy to see you doing something completely different now

[@llinsandrade]

Used to watch you back then and I’m excited to hear more about your new life. 💕 I can relate to this video. I was also an “adult student” and had a major career shift. My situation was a bit trickier though - I had young kids at the time, and English is not my first language so I had to overcome the language barrier. In the end, it all worked out and it was totally worth it! I am incredibly proud of myself and loving my life just like you!

[@mslisa6824]

I know it's inevitable with a dog his age but when you talked about Teddy's passing I almost cried😢 so so sorry to hear about it. He was there all along the youtube journey!

[@taylormaddy9647]

I loved this video! I went to college at 24 to get my bachelors in neuroscience with a minor in philosophy. I can relate to feeling out of the box, my entire orientation was designed for 18 year olds. I was also put in a dry dorm instead of a wet dorm. I graduate in May and I’ve already accepted an offer for grad school. If there are any older students reading this, things will be weird like a shoe that doesn’t quite fit, but you will flourish. Everything happens for a reason. Everyone’s timelines are different. ❤

[@Goghvanjosey]

If you could, would love a video talking about advice from your parents. My parents were always forcing us to go to the medical field- can you talk about your dad’s advice? Maybe a q&a with him about schooling- even high school- were they hard on your about grades? not going to college, career, finances? they seem pretty open about life choices which is a far cry from my family so very curious. Your family is so successful i would love to hear their advice! TY

It’s also really nice to see you find a kind of success that is grounded and makes you happy. Very happy for you!

it made my day to see you post a video!! so happy for you that you are happy. that you were in a bad place, decided to pivot, and are now thriving. it can't have been easy to transition to an academic setting after being away for so long, but how wonderful to see that you gave it your all and succeeded so beautifully. you may perceive your future videos as not 'fun' anymore but the videos of everyday life and everyday humans are what I like personally so I am so stoked!! 💌

[@lalalynnsey]

Your videos still give me such a cozy, warm feeling. We're so close in age (honestly I forget if you're older than me or not lol but oh well) but you're my big sister in my head. I'm an adult college student as well pursuing a higher degree in nursing and I resonated SO heavily with what you said about being an adult college student. It's a privilege and it's rewarding in a way that I'm not sure 17-18 year old me would appreciate. Congrats on your self-pursued happiness, Blair! You earned that and you should be SO, SO proud of yourself! ❤

Omg(hhkp)!! I’ve been rewatching all yours and Elle’s old vids lately 🥹💕 I’m so happy you posted this! 🫶🏼

Love to hear you talk about your experience as an adult student. I really hope you will post some more videos now and then, when you have the capacity. Your place looks amazing, and a new house tour would be super fun to watch!

I love your story so much Blair! I have watched your videos since 2008 in high school and uni! i went straight to university for interior design/ architecture from high school and as much as I enjoyed the program and being creative, I learned that I love designing just as a hobby for me and not for clients! I also learned that I hate CADing but love reading already finished plans haha! I took a few detours over the years that weren’t in the design industry thinking I would leave that world behind but recently refound my love for it! Now I work in sales in the flooring industry and I love it as it’s still in the design realm but more up my alley 😊
