food diaries: first week of college📚, meal prep, mental health check in & how I deal w/ loneliness

[@steffi7190]

"I let people misunderstand me" this hit hard. Such a good reminder

[@lindasunyt]

[@oxanadc]

it is because in the end the only person that matters to understand you is you. you are amazing you don't need others to validate that, because you have always been wonderful That's what I've learned by starting my yt channel, to stop compare myself to others and focusing on what i truly love which is helping others to grow and see how wonderful they are

[@esikazemese]

YEah, make it profit for on social media and voila. You can have 3 sponsors halfway through a video by being misunderstood. LOL

[@justingoddard]

frrrrrr

[@isareynoble]

It hit me hard when you said that you were finishing your degree, not because you liked it, but because you recognized the value it would bring you in the future. Right now I'm in culinary school, starting my third year and I've realized that this isn't for me, it's been sooo hard but this video is giving me hope and strength to continue. Thank you so much - Love from Mexico

[@sophiac5765]

Linda! I love you for showing how it really is to be introverted and not just trying to portray the 'cool girl' aesthetic. This speaks to my soul as an introvert myself. I think the world needs to be shown that not everyone strives or thrives in the extrovert lifestyle. Sitting alone is such a truth for me in so many social settings and it's so NORMAL. ❤

[@oxanadc]

I’m an extrovert and let me tell u that I’m not always thriving but I do love making yt content 😂❤

[@maddy.kilty.mcconnell]

Watching you for over the past two years has been incredible. Watching you change and grow and learn has been life changing to experience - yes, even virtually. When I first found you, my eating disorder was developing and I was in a very dark place. Even you, who now inspires me and brings so much motivation, joy and insight could do nothing at that time - no one could. Ive fought for my life back and Im so happy I did because the way I am feeling now is unmatched - still recovering, after a year and a half, but at the same time… thriving? Thank you Linda. Seriously. For just being here in this space. You bring much light into so many lives. I cannot wait to continue to grow and learn with you and from you.

[@oxanadc]

you are doing amazing sweethear, and you realising that in order to truly live u have to let go of restriction is a step in the right direction reminder that you deserve love and deserve to nourish yourself no matter what you have or haven't done i love too how she has helped me grow so much, inspiring me to start my own yt channel to help others grow too

[@mjkcs]

"Some of the most beautiful moments of your life have still yet to arrive" This phrase hit me hard, but yet it's so true. Thank you again for another amazing video Linda!

[@lindasunyt]

[@oxanadc]

100% agree

[@joanamarques6184]

From someone who is also doing a business degree with not much passion and who doesn’t know what she loves and has a similar untraditional college experience, thank you. I try not to judge myself but seeing someone like you, you I think, at least online, is a really cool and awesome person, makes me feel much less like a failure. Thank you so so much

[@oxanadc]

You are not a failure never will be only if u give up on life could that be possible It might seem like everything is dark now but life has a way of putting things back into place I though I would never find something I would love to study but found this degree that allows me to travel for each year if my bachelor and started my yt channel at the same time and I couldn’t be happier 😂❤

[@zzzvette]

Linda, I cannot believe how hard I related to this video. I am also a late graduate pursuing a degree I am not entirely passionate purely for the sake of having a safety net. I’m so glad untraditional college experiences are becoming for widely acknowledged - it makes me feel more supported and inspired to keep going. Thank you for posted this, I really needed that extra push ❤

[@oxanadc]

You need to follow what u love while it’s good that u have a safety net remember to find something u like too I am fortunate enough that I started yt and now I’ve fallen in love with helping others and creating content ❤❤❤

[@vivienneschulz6155]

I don’t usually write comments but your videos are just so wholesome and good for body and soul. Thank you for inspiring me to take care of my body and soul. Love from Germany ❤

reminder that your body is your temple, making sure to nourish it and give it some appreciation is only positive

[@mia-yu3ii]

I always cry to your videos. You’re so eloquent and inspiring and every time I listen to you I feel like a new part of me is healing. Thank you so much for all that you do, I don’t think my life would be the same without you!

[@Miahng]

I literally crying through your words, appreciate u being here Linda 😊

[@anneelliot1244]

Hearing that it will have taken you 5 years to finish college is really reassuring me. I’m doing a 3 year degree that’s taught in English, which is not my first language, so I decided to do it in 4 years to be more comfortable. But I ended up completely burnt out and depressed from being a high achiever in HS (turns out I’m autistic) so now I’m doing it in 5 years. It’s hard to do what’s best for you when it’s different from what everyone else is doing. It’s even harder for me considering that I’m already a year older than my friends because I took a break in HS because of a 1st depression…

[@oxanadc]

reminder that we all have different path in life, and no matter what age you are or when you finish pursuing what you love no matter how long it takes can only be a positive adding to your wonderful life don't be so hard on yourself I'm sure u r doing amazing i myself had to kind of do a year of trying one uni and had to change and now i couldn't be happier vlogging my own journey on youtube

[@user-sc7rp8ks7s]

Being completely honest, I clicked on this video for the back to school meals, didn’t expect to be bawling my eyes out during your “speeches” about talking to your past self, emphasizing the importance to remember that we’re all only human and also loneliness that we placed on ourselves by our own decisions. Linda, even as a high schooler barely making her way through life, your video essays like this one really speaks to me and makes me think back about everything that’s going on in my mind and life at the moment. As a freshmen this year, the first few weeks of high school up to now have been really hard on me emotionally not only because of the stress load of balancing school and sports but also friendships like you mentioned here. So once again, i just wanted to repeat that I truly appreciate your videos and please keep making them!

[@oxanadc]

That’s Linda for you She always hits hard with the messages while sharing delicious recipes She inspires me so much to continue doing my own yt content focusing on helping others while having fun

[@HKarmen]

Linda, don't worry about life expectations. I have been in uni for about 9 yrs now. More so because I decided I wanted to care for my sick father because your degree can wait. Continue to value life because it is so much more than a piece of paper that says I finished. Uni or college will always be there. Life, life needs to be enjoyed, and sustained as much as possible. Warm regards, Karmen.

[@maisiebaptist]

you have no idea how refreshing it is to another young person who isn't always surrounded by a group of girls or who really wants to go out in the evening all the time. literally how I felt every weekend last term when I would order in on a Friday night with a good movie instead of clubbing! also working through uni with my own problems but as you say, I just need that degree :)) it's a shame you are thousands of miles away coz friends like u >>>> sending hugs

[@arichauhan5414]

[@juliwolf9]

I just wanted to thank you Linda. Your videos have shown me how important it is to enjoy life and food. Before watching them I used to control everything I ate by counting calories all the time. Now I am really happy to find myself enjoying food as I did when I was a child, eating whenever and whatever I want. Thank you so much for putting so much love into your videos!

[@m_ebooks9889]

I stumbled upon this video by accident but I'm very glad I did!! as someone who also had a very unconventional college life (did so poorly, got suspended and then came back again after months of community college and healing) it's comforting to know not only that other folks had tough times in school too but also got through them too! it's been years since school and I know my career is still in its baby stages despite having a few jobs already, but the lessons you talk about are timeless and resonate with many. hearing this video during a low point time when I needed the boost of support is definitely a magical great beauty of the universe. keep going girl!! proud of you!!

[@CherylNg-z4j]

Hi Linda, i love your videos. They are always so encouraging to watch. Stay strong and push yourself through the last year. I didn't enjoy my university days, like you did, and i tell myself "this is only for a year". As a 30 year old corporate banker, i can tell you Networking is overrated, for some darn reason pretentious brats love to use the term networking. Relationships and friendships should be genuine and authentic, that's when people really open up to you because you do not want anything out of them. Also, at 30, i am unsure of what i want in the end and just winging my 9-5 everyday - doesn't matter. I am still performing well, learning as many new things as possible hoping that one day everything clicks. That's the beauty of life- discovering yourself a little more every single day. I wish you all the best in your life :)

[@trex_r14]

Linda, I am 10 years older than you and graduated in 2014, but that 30 seconds of showing the college lecture and walking through a crowd of sociable students brought back so many memories. It's very strange to not be the only type A person in the room ("Imagine you are getting into your Ferrari"..what?!?) I went to a college that had a LOT of athletes that were very outgoing but not very introspective. I was lucky enough to find "my people". I majored in English and all of my friends either majored in English, psychology or history. Adult friendships are HARD, but I hope you find your people again and can get some light out of your life out of your last year of University :) I am always encouraged and impressed by the amount of work that goes into your videos!

[@itx4577]

Hey Linda! I just wanted to say that I went through a very similar path to yours. In 2020 after quarantine, going back tu university in September was hard and I ended up “dropping out” of that year. I had never experienced anxiety or depression before, and I had to go to therapy and take my time (from January to September) to heal and understand all of my feelings. I had always being a top tier student, so to feel like I was exhausted all day and I couldn’t study and face an exam sounded ridiculous to me at the time. However, through therapy and focusing on myself I understood that I wasn’t just being lazy or a bit tired, but in fact there was A LOT going on in my mind (from body image issues to too much perfectionism and fear of failure). I ended up going back to the same degree (business) but I was still nervous since all my friends were by then on the year higher than me. Still I wanna tell you that it will be fine. I ended up meeting amazing friends and I even studied abroad in Denmark for a whole year with one of them. Now I’m in my last year and I couldn’t be happier that I went through all of it, because I definitely am a very different person now and I learned a lot about myself (although there is still ups and downs specially when it comes to anxiety hahaha). I really hope that we both will find our paths and be happy in the process🫶 I send you all of my strength for this last year and remember that even if you feel lonely and like everyone else has tons of friends, in the end we see what people want to show and look like and it might not be reality. Also, even having many friends you can still feel lonely. I feel like this things I’m saying are obvious but just wanted to write them to you just in case😊 I wish you the best of lucks, and thank u for always making such great and deep videos, ur channel is such a safe space 🩷

I understand what you mean Linda. I started my university major because I thought I liked it but after awhile and all the stress, it made me quite sad. It felt like I had to continue but I could never understand the reason why. And when you said that you know the future value of this degree, I think it clicked for me that that might have been my feeling.

Linda, thankyou so much for this video! I definitely needed it. Your sincerity makes your voice so powerful. I’m currently facing some of the same things you did, and makes me feel more in peace and no so alone. It is going to be fine. Thankyou

thank you so much linda for your videos. they never fail to make me cry and make my heart warm

[@Arianna-qh6nm]

tomorrow should be my first day back to college, but I have decided to drop out. Nobody knows but my family. I can't bring myself to tell my friends, I keep thinking about all the expectations everybody has always had for me. People expected me to become a doctor or a lawyer and I am dropping out at 20 years old. It's so scary, I worry I am making the worst choice of my life, I think that now I just have to work more to prove to people around me that I haven't suddenly turned into a lazy person. Whenever somebody tells me to enrol in whatever kind of course I feel a wave of anxiety overwhelming me, but seeing your journey gives me hope. Your words always do. Maybe I will never go back to college, but hopefully I'll find a way to earn people's respect nonetheless. Sending a lot of love, your smile is truly beautiful

[@oxanadc]

often those things that are scariest are the ones that help us grow the most, the most important thing is that you follow your intuition i was very afraid of pursuing a degree with a very new university, but getting to travel to three different countries made me start my own yt channel and now i could not be happier it was risky but so worhty
