Life Updates: How I'm Doing, Back at School, Semester Plans!

[@robinhill8550]

I am definitely not your target audience. I'm a 52 year-old mom who accidentally stumbled upon your page during your Freshman year. I absolutely loved your enthusiasm and your personality, so I subscribed and have followed you through your college journey. Who knew, 3 years later, my son would be a Freshman at Bama, as well! Because of you, I felt much more comfortable with my son moving to Tuscaloosa. Keep being your authentic self and your channel will thrive! Best of luck on your Senior year! ROLL TIDE!

[@tootsla1252]

I found Gracie’s channel when my granddaughter went to ‘Bama last fall. She’s a sophomore, plays on the women’s soccer team (#13), and just pledged DG. When she was offered a scholarship there we said YouMustGoToAlabama! It’s an insane sports school - and she’s all about sports! Our high school football coach played for Bear Bryant, and we’ve been fans for decades. She loves it so much there and is so happy. Wish she wasn’t 2,500 miles away, but we’re thrilled for her. Best wishes to your son & his college success. Cheers! Roll Tide!

[@jodieanderson3305]

I am 51 and found her channel and love watching how happy you are. I have 16 year old daughter and her hooked on watching tou too. You are inspiration to her and even myself.

[@michelewood4648]

Oh my gosh me too! I’m a 50 year old mom of 3 grown boys and I love watching Gracie! Glad to know I’m not alone 👍🏻😁

[@robinhill8550]

@@tootsla1252 thank you! Best wishes to your granddaughter, as well! We are a generational Bama fan family. My grandmother and my parents were huge fans, as well as the majority of our family members. “Roll Tide” has been in our vocabularies since birth. 😂 We just assumed our son would stick to our local college, but one visit to the Alabama campus immediately changed his mind. He is a mechanical engineering major, along with the STEM path to the MBA program.

[@emilyhendricks1912]

So great to see you back on KZbin! I know you've been extremely busy with traveling to Costa Rica and Greece, moving out of your parent's house, and now with moving back to Tuscaloosa and getting started with school, so I completely understand why you haven't been active on here. I can't wait to see more "college day in the life" videos and everything about your senior year! Fun fact: we will both be graduating this year, me from high school and you from college! So excited for this new school year and can't wait for some more amazing videos! Video Ideas: - Updated Morning/Night Routine - Travel Tips - Things To Bring in Your College Bookbag - 14 Things You've Learned in Your 4 Years of College - Favorite Outfits for School - Closet Tour of Tuscaloosa Apartment - Book Recommendations - Room Tour of New Room - Day in the Life of a College Student - Study with Me (short {30 minutes} & long {1-2 hours})

[@angieolguin1289]

I think a cool vlog would be one similar to your freshman year with your sorority sisters about Alabama. Maybe do one similar as seniors and what you would have known what you would have done differently etc.

[@ChloeElizabethReads]

This would be a great video!

[@angieolguin1289]

I remember when you were a freshman and excited to buy tshirts that the seniors were selling at pi phi. Now you are a senior!

[@KatieRawsthorne]

There she is!! Lovely update - pleased to hear you’re enjoying being back in Tuscaloosa. Already looking forward to your next video, and seeing the beautiful campus! Much love xx

[@JlovesPINK09]

Personally I like seeing whatever YOU are doing and liking. That’s why I follow you. People are going to hate on anything you do, but I always appreciated how you were 100% uniquely you ❤️

[@melindamonger7683]

I'm hoping maybe you can do like a recap/recommendation video from Costa Rica! Like pros and cons to where you went the amount of time you spent at different places. Just to help out if anybody were to travel there it would give them an idea on what to do and what not to do. I feel it could help rap up your time there without having to post what your not happy with. Can't wait for your next video. :)

[@maaikesww]

Welcome back 🙂 I do recommend that you research burn outs/mental health to get into a healthy routine now you're back at uni. To prevent pushing yourself too hard after uni at a job

[@stephanielacoco]

I think that you should make content that inspires you, regardless of how it might do. I think trying to figure out what will be successful is going to hinder you on your actual performance. When your videos come from a place of good energy and being into it for yourself personally, you will find better success and a sense of accomplishment. I’d love to have a book recommendation vlog from you. It might not be your “niche” content but you’re multifaceted and it would be great for you to share that part of yourself. I hope school is going wonderfully for you, Gracie! 🤍

[@michellemarshall1116]

I agree!!

[@lindseypickell]

I think whatever you decided to put out we’d love to watch, I think I can speak for all of your subs and say we love your enthusiasm and that’s why we keep coming back and just how open you are!

[@amielawson8344]

One of the best pieces of advice I can give....screw what anyone else thinks. Make decisions for you. Do what you want, how you want and when you want.

[@johnsymonstcu]

Gracie, it's so good to see you back at "Bama" and so enthusiastic about your senior year. Taking the summer off and recharging yourself was the best thing that you could have done. I hope that you will take us to some home football games. ❤🏈. I know that you will be making some unforgettable memories this year. Wishing you all the best for a fantastic year. Take care, stay safe and always be true to yourself. Never forget what an awesome, kind and blessed person that you are. 🤗🙏

[@maevepretty]

I love your videos, personality and authenticity Gracie! I understand how frustrating it can be when you’re putting in so much work and it goes unacknowledged. Never stop being yourself and spreading your positivity💕

[@miss__atomic__bomb]

I love love love your videos!! I’ve said this to you before but if travel vlogging isn’t your thing then that’s ok!!! You can still be a LIFESTYLE vlogger who happens to travel and that way it takes a lot of the stress off and you don’t have to feel obligated to put out travel content. You deserve to go on vacation and enjoy it! And that’s ok!! You were busy enjoying your vacation and you deserved and needed that. I’m so so happy to see you happy and back at school and I love how genuine you are. You are a real person with real feelings and emotions and I love your authentic content! I hope you have a great year ❤️

[@jennifermarie4979]

You could do a video showing realistic college outfits to wear to class!!

[@clairebarrera4639]

Good luck on your senior year, Gracie!! 💖 we are all cheering for you!

[@shilpiroy917]

Thank you so much for sharing Gracie... All the best for your senior year 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@staciboudy6193]

Girl I love all your videos, even the ones you did this summer. Don't ever give up your hard work at these videos is greatly appreciated and loved :)

[@rache2121]

i think with the travel vlogs it may just be because people are very busy in the summer, i watch all your videos but i didn’t (yet) watch all those because i was busy myself… don’t beat yourself up! we want you to enjoy what you’re doing and showing, your enthusiasm shows in your videos that you like and we love that! i think most of your following likes the relatability and reality of your videos so maybe the travel pieces needed a bit more of an intro since we are not used to that. sending good vibes, you are doing great already and don’t worry about being successful based on views.

[@brittneycarroll2714]

Welcome back!! Take in all the moments and make all the memories possible senior year! It is so fun but sadly it goes so fast! It’s so amazing you’ll have so many memories to relive on KZbin! I can’t wait for the book rec videos and videos ahead. I’d love to see a reaction to freshman videos and maybe a react to your rush outfits from freshman year (since rushtok went viral on tiktok).

[@4dgrace]

Hey Gracie! I love how real this is and how much it seems like you've grown this summer. It sounds like your break was needed and I'm glad to see you smiling again. I fell in love with your videos freshman year and have followed along ever since! I love your energy and your take on life. I think covid hit a lot of people hard and I can see what you mean about "hiding" some things to not offend anyone or make them mad- I feel like some of your genuineness and spark was a little dimmer last year but honestly who's wasn't. And I don't mean that in a bad way!! I just feel like the best content you could ever make is content that makes you happy and excited! It breaks my heart to hear you talk about being so discouraged with views on your travel vlogs when you clearly love to travel. Keep your head up and keep going and it'll all fall into place!

[@katie_mcneil]

I think you should still edit all the travel footage you have! Even if they don’t get the most views, you’ll appreciate having them to look back on down the line :) even if you cut to present-day in between footage to narrate it a little or story time if you didn’t capture it completely how you wanted to when you were there.

[@kaitlinjoy8855]

I would love to see book recs!! And just know that even if some videos don’t do as well as others, there are some of us here who love all of your content and will be here no matter what ❤️

[@emilyjones9259]

So glad you are feeling better. I’m glad you are back.

[@readsandeats2263]

I really enjoy your content and following your journey. Please remember that you can't please everyone all the time and not to get upset by that. You have a fun bubbly personality and you are so you, don't forget that. Have a great Senior year.

[@ashleymulford1072]

I love all your videos. You will always and forever be my favorite KZbinr. Your college day in my lifes are my favorite, but just following your journey in general. Your attitude always puts me in a better mood.

[@juliannadavis8297]

so happy to see you back!! i would love to see travel vlogs even if they wouldn’t do good on youtube 🤷‍♀️ love you and your content 💕

[@joannagarcia1853]

Hey Gracie!!! Love watching your videos! Maybe take clips from your trips and do one video kind of like a monologue as a way to close off Summer 2021! I think that would be so great! Have a great Senior year!!

[@hannahrebekah3860]

This was a truly amazing vlog!! Thanks for letting us know how you have been! I love your channel so much and are my absolute favorite youtuber! I have a suggestion for videos. I was wondering if you could do a video about how you edit your thumbnails. I’d absolutely love to see that. Anyways I’m so proud of you and how far you’ve come. Love ya.

[@maryssapadilla1706]

I really think you should do a day in the life of a college student, maybe what school supplies you use, do a dinner out with your friends in town for us to see what it’s like out there. I feel like you have so much potential to be a great you tuber do not let anything bring you down and discourage away from this adventure. Good luck to you and your future here.

[@ohheymadiann4918]

I would LOVE to see your last year at pi phi and fun senior events!

[@annemelendez1458]

I love watching your videos. I found you through Madi. I think you are awesome and getting through all these incredibly hard times and to still be optimistic and thriving is incredible! I wish you all the success and just hope you stay safe out there. Thank you for bringing us along! Please keep it going!

[@camihollero]

happy you're back! cant wait for all the school content, it is so interesting to see people's college lives in comparison to my own :)

[@1DJanoskainslove]

I wanted to see the travel vlogs :( do you still plan on trying to become a traveler vlogger once you graduate?

[@itsisabella2003]

I wanted to see more travel vlogs too

[@daisymellen2944]

Welcome back!! 🥰 Can’t wait to see you kill senior year as I enter my first year of university in a few weeks! Love you Gracie - keep trusting in the Lord! 💛

[@oliviapopp]

I'd love to see a video where you show how you plan your trips!

[@ericagoehring1089]

I completely understand the fear of being judged for your level of Covid caution! I have been very careful, but I find myself feeling anxious about what people will assume about me. I know it isn't logical, but I am also a people-pleaser!

[@JB-vd8bi]

Going to Europe isn't really being careful though? Delta has spiked severely because people keep travelling.

[@ericagoehring1089]

@@JB-vd8bi I was not commenting on any of her specific details . I only meant to empathize with that feeling of not wanting to post/share for fear of judgment. I was criticized on Facebook because I made my kids wear masks in an outdoor space. You just never know what people will say!

[@victoriabruha8434]

Personally I LOVE the vlogs!! ❤️ You post whatever you want to and what motivates you!! We love you so so much Gracie ❤️❤️

idk if anyone else is interested in this, but i love your style and so i always get excited to see any of you fashion related vids :) especially hauls

Happy Senior year I'm a senior too in my high school I'm graduating soon forever I've done two high schools so far so I'm graduating my second one next year then God willing transfer in 2022 so wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't worry about content creating for us do it for you what you love no matter what anyone says about it. Keep being you and loving yourself and just showing us what's special to you so create for you not what you think we want to see. Happy Weekend soon!!!!!!!!! I love you. Go seniors!!!!!!!!!! We are the world's next leaders. Go at your own pace don't rush the brush

[@deniselegere5927]

I’m always looking for a good book. I’d love to watch a book recommendation video!

[@jenn_kosa]

Since you're a senior now, you should do a video reacting to some of your old freshman videos!

[@mrsbanno]

Welcome back, the last time I watched you was when you were at Sea! Feels like years ago! I need to do some serious catching up! I'm in New Zealand, we don't really have the same College experience that you do in America. I loved your videos back when you were in the Sorority house! Looking forward to watching your Senior Year :) .

[@RoseCandle2022]

I would love to see more sorority stuff, more of your home life with your family and more wedding stuff with Hannah

[@chrissymaber900]

Gracie, You probably won’t see this, but I have truly appreciated each and everyone of your videos (especially as you take us through navigating the good and challenging times through Graduate School). I say this because in about a weeks time I will be starting my Master’s Degree Program.

I will always be a fan no matter what you are posting. You are amazing and so inspirational so who wouldn’t want to watch you. Hugs from Texas ❤️

I would just love some travel advice. I’m really thinking about doing an international trip in the next year. And I’m not sure what to bring with me and how safe isis to go.

[@petrasacksen598]

People always resent you when you go outside of the box to do extra ordinary things. How you afford it is none of their Business. I think you're great for taking risks & realizing your dreams while you are still young. Wishing you much success happiness & inner peace during your senior year ♥️💗🤎😎😎

I haven't watched the travel videos - I live in Europe so I'm not even far from Greece yet due to the fact we're still in a pandemic, seeing so many people on KZbin travel all the way from America is hard because I can't even imagine going on a holiday yet.

So my ideas might be too boring but I will throw them out there anyway - your Amazon favorites, favorite etsy stores, and a like “shop with me” but at those cute little clothing boutiques in Tuscaloosa. Ohh and also game day videos including picking out the right outfit. Dressing up for games is not something I am familiar with from where I am from.

[@lovemakeup1229]

A wee something to remember is a small amount of your viewer's do not represent us all. Plz post what you like, your travel vlogs have always been some of my favourites. You already have soooo, so much going on yet you still find the time & effort to create these types of video's. Maybe you could do a little behind the scenes look run through at the process to give people an idea of what it really takes when you're filming your REAL life not a staged version.💕

[@laurenvazquez6778]

Just do whatever is natural and normal! No forced videos

[@thisbeautifulrose]

Bummed that you didn’t film your travels and day to day adventures in Costa Rica and Greece! I subscribe to you because I am interested in you and your life. You’re hilarious, you’re fun and I enjoy watching any and all content you put out. Please reconsider next time and blog your travels. No matter how “quality”they might be. All content is quality content in my opinion.

[@petrasacksen598]

I had Coravirus for 6 months during 2020. Even with vaccine, I am still sick. While I was in quarantine, I always looked forward to your vlogs. I binged your older ones & esp loved Semester at sea. While I was at Mt Holyoke College, I did semester in Groton CT but we only travelled in New England'.

[@ellafaithkavicky5547]

Omg! You should start a book club!

[@AnneAndCamel]

I’m also not your target audience . I’m a 57 year old retired Speech Language Pathologist. I found your channel years ago…. I was looking for something related to where I went to school…. and managed to find you. I followed along, curious to see what the younger crowd was up to these days. Maybe I was looking for ideas for when I would start a KZbin channel ( yes finally did it last December). You have a contagious sense of energy. Seems to me that you just needed a break….. we all need a break once in a while. In hindsight maybe you could have done “ shorts” as snippets during portions of your summer adventures. Hope your senior year gives you all the excitement and fellowship that you desire.
