HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLY!!!~~ 💝✨

[@hevo7336]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINH!! 🎉💕💕

[@beatriz.amorim]

Happy birthday Linh!!! 🥳 I’m also turning 22 tomorrow!!

[@bunny3194]

happy birthday linh!!!!

[@vil3086]

god this video is so nice. i feel like i grew up watching linh. i remember her high school sophomore vids when i was in middle school, and now i’m a freshman in college and she’s a senior. linh has truest inspired me to romanticize college and work hard, and has even helped my decorate my dorm! i can’t wait to see what she does, she’s such an inspiration to me

[@swampguds3836]

Ugh me too! Ive been watching linh since I was in middle school and I love how far they've gotten. I'm in my senior year of highschool and I feel like we're both going through the same and most different time of our life. I wish your college years the best and I hope it lives up to your dreams!!

[@apinchofdisappointment]

Yesss!!! I wanted to be just like Linh when I grew up & now that I am grown…I still want to be like Linh lolll

[@brendibean]

cursed pfp

[@charlieeeeeeee.]

Blub blub ily linh

[@itsnotrainer]

i’m in the exact same boat, i would watch linhs high school videos after coming from middle school. it’s so strange that she’s ending college right as i’ve stepped in as a freshman, it feels very full circle

[@tessarose8430]

i'm so sorry you missed speaking at your conference but thank you for sharing that vulnerable moment of disappointment and frustration with us. mistakes like that happen from time to time but it's cool to see that you didn't let it stop you from enjoying the rest of your week. happy birthday and thank you for creating such comforting videos for us

[@oliverjoukowsky4451]

It’s quite beautiful how I get to see faces I recognize from over the years and seeing how much you all have grown. I hope you have a productive, fun, and restful semester!

[@sofiaalonso8485]

the way that you recorded the camping trip was sooo cinematic! felt like an indie movie. Im always amazed at your videos, hope you have a great senior year

[@itsgabbyfreeman]

I felt like I was in a Ghibli film. And I just adore Linh. *sigh* To see life through that lens/'Linhs'.

[@ChloeTheePayne]

i recently had a similar DISASTER STRIKES moment ala "i am usually so on top of everything and this was such a SIMPLE mistake, how did i overlook this incredibly simple detail that led to such big unfortunate consequences...???" very generous of you to share that moments like that happen to even the most organized people 💙 we're all just human and it's important for us to be able to forgive ourselves for our mistakes, but YEAH in that moment of first coping those feelings are so overwhelming!!!

[@allisonpaiges]

omg hi, chloe! fancy seeing you here :-)

[@ChloeTheePayne]

@@allisonpaiges oh HEY, i guess great minds thinks alike! or... similar minds watch similar comfort creators, ha 😄

[@sofiacaniogo]

this vlog was just so calming and relaxing, and it's so nice to see Linh hanging out with her friends and knowing the importance of balancing college and friendships. I especially loved the camping part.

[@alicedimitro]

Linh!! Your vlogs make me feel like we are friends 🥲 thank you for keeping me company when im feeling alone 🫂

[@gabiz5420]

it’s so crazy that i found your channel when you were a freshman moving into your first studio apartment and now you’re a senior in college🥲 so proud of you linh!!

[@nerderino]

I’m in my third year of college as an animation student and it’s been hella stressful thinking about what lies ahead of me- your videos bring me a sense of peace and let me know that things will be ok. That it’s ok to be nervous and scared about the future and whatnot- you help me a lot! ^^

[@katherinewozniak1774]

I’m taking a gap year between Undergrad and Grad school right now and I’ve felt so lonely/left out since I’m not going back to school😢 These videos really feed my desire for the back to school feeling!! Thank you Linh, and I hope you have an awesome semester😊

[@tangleduniverse5042]

I thought I was alone in this but me too

[@gabbysiros1051]

As a senior in college as well this year, I got teary eyed just seeing how far we've come :)) I hope you have a great semester 💖💖

[@TheaGoesSolo]

this video felt like a piece of home... last month i moved really far away for university and i've been dealing with a lot of emotions and feelings connected with that, but seeing this glimpse into your life that was familiar but also new gave me comfort in a way i didn't even know i needed. thank you linh always for sharing these moments with us, it truly means the world💛

[@ey.b-side]

i didn't expect to cry watching you guys during your camping trip. it made me miss my friends 😭

[@k.s.2091]

when i started watching u i was a freshman in high school and now i’m starting college!! ur vlogs are so comforting and simultaneously inspiring. happy birthday linh!!

[@cole_cash]

A crime to be this early

[@mai_mai473]

FRRR

[@AnxMa]

Amazing video, just wanted to add from my exp; I've always had this androgynous look (as people in K Pop :)) but in my case it was fuel for bullies when I was growing up. I embraced it, used it to my advantage in my acting / modeling career, I was almost the face of Leon in these new Resident Evil games 🙂 To anyone who's ever been a victim of bullying / hate / violence because of their appearance, gender, orientation, race : DO NOT ever let a hateful notion 'there's something wrong with me' sink in. Trust me, it's a recipe for self hatred, I've wasted half my life feeling it. When we suffer and we need a break, it's only natural to think: 'maybe if I wasn't 'different', if I was 'normal' I would be accepted. No, haters will always find something else to prey upon. Remember; There's never anything wrong with you.

[@schattenblume4795]

Happy Birthday Linh, good luck with your senior year. I'm sure you will rock it

[@nights_the_nightingale]

It's wonderful that you posted this today because today was my first day of college! It went really well, my face hurt from smiling so much! I'm only taking a couple online classes, and sometimes I wish I had the resources and such to go to physical classes, but I'm happy with Zoom 😊 If I continue to enjoy community college, I might consider going to university!! Thank you so much for inspiring me! 🥰 💖

[@jadethegemme]

i literally just started college last week 😭 thank you linh for helping me jump into senior year w this super comforting vlog

[@itsnathumby]

The wholesomeness is everything! Happy birthday Linh! 🥳

[@ray7suns]

linh's videos are so poetic, from the transitions to the graphics and the intelligent way they use the music to guide the story. I love your videos, they give me a sense of peace, calm and always inspire me.

[@hm_plays9393]

Happy Birthday! Thank you for being one my favourite youtubers these past few years

[@salicyn.willow]

Linh! Love the videos! Im also im my senior year of college and the hustle is real! Im an Education major and I started co-teaching with another teacher but its so surreal that Im teaching kiddos in a class its crazy! Freshmen year felt so long ago but also not so long ago! Can't wait for the next vid and to all college students reading this lets manifest a good grades and good health this semester!!!

[@leafleafkris]

the color grading during the camping scenes...... chefs kiss

[@astr0a]

happy birthday linh!! hope it was a good one

[@thecreatorlaurenchi]

didn’t realize how much I was looking forward for it to drop until it did:’) never licked faster! also the shot at 28:52 reminded me of that one panel in attack on titan LMAOOOO. thanks for another great video linh!❤️

[@CameronCopeland-mi4cj]

Licked

[@maizerelli]

Happy birthday, Linh! Thank you for sharing your life with us! We all love and support you

[@ro2974]

happy birthday ❤ this was so wholesome to see how you and your friends have grown from freshman year to now. i hope this year brings you lots of cherished moments and happiness~ omg do you think we could get an updated filming /editing breakdown? do you ever feel awkward with vlogging in public? im getting over it too but you look so confident ✨️ 😌

[@emmi_ss]

Linh, I just want to say that watching your video is just so therapeutic, especially after a long tiring day of college. You’re such an inspiration to me, sharing your life, your friendships and you growing up ❤

[@kiwibird143]

that camping montage was CINEMAA

[@idontevenknow141]

Linh, I had so much anxiety about starting the junior year in college and I literally had a harsh week!! This is just what I need. Thank you for uploading you literally cheered me up!

[@jilliannatividad1045]

this is the most wholesome vlog. truly a serotonin booster.

[@aninditadey2417]

30 mins of pure Linh goodness has awakened my soul

[@saltycrackers4460]

Gahh everyone saying they’ve been watching since the beginning of high school and now at college :,) I’m a junior in high school and I seriously can’t be more grateful for being able to experience every little blip of it all

[@katrinagaray2020]

linh! i hope you enjoy and savor your senior year :") i just graduated college in june so ik how it feels to see the end unfold and become so real! been watching your vids since our high school days and im so proud of the young woman you've become

[@ootum6491]

man this is the first time ive watched one of linh’s vids in a while and im lowkey emotional 😭! i remember watching the highschool vids when i was young, and now i am in my first year of college while linh is in their last. it’s such a full circle moment! watching the older college vlogs used to make me so so excited to be in college myself, and here i am! i hope both of our school years are colorful and filled with wonderful memories of youth 💖

[@pwettyminds]

the quality of this video is immaculate ❤

[@gilliannash4944]

I love to see you still masking!! Thank you

[@raudiala6848]

Linh long vlog is back! I miss this type of vlog so much

[@adelinecarter1887]

I absolutely LOVED this video. Possibly your best one yet! I've loved watching your videos as I've gone through high school and college, two years behind you, and it's always felt nice to see you progress through things like going to college or moving into an apartment a year or two before me like an older sibling. I love seeing your style, especially lately, and your college/university videos always make me feel better about my assignments. Good luck with senior year, and I'm so excited for you!

[@g.h.4214]

It’s so crazy we’re BOTH in college now :O i’ve been watching you since you were in high school and i was in middle school, crazy

[@steadylang]

Ur editing never ceases to amaze meeeeh 😢❤

[@chrinnyy]

i’ve been watching linh since before i started high school! now i’m a freshman in college as she starts her senior year 🥲

[@itsgabsv]

this is one of the most beautiful vlogs i have ever seen

[@zosiabosia8769]

your videos give me life energy ahhh

[@ashleyochoa4800]

This video really helped me de-stress from my first year of college so far. I haven't really had a proper break from the academics since 3 summers ago but this really motivated to strive for better, so thank you Linh!😊💗

[@avymags]

the camping clips were so wholesome, the ‘LOVE’🥹

[@user-qu2yf4yz8d]

kayla staring at you while you meditateee so cuteeee

[@rashel9895]

[@withlovelucis]

noo 😭😭 the last one 😭😭 life is next!! happy 22nd babes

[@tigs8441]

watching your videos is so comforting. i feel like you're my life buddy. we started uni at the same time, will probs graduate the same time and i also happen to be working on a conference atm. aside from the myriad of other things we seem to have in common, it's just really nice to see someone in the same stages of life as you and dealing with the same problems and coming out the other end/documenting the process. i will forever love your channel. love (you) linh x

[@julianasandoval8715]

I feel like we’ve grown together in some kind of way and it’s amazing. Linh you truly inspire me, you are the sweetest soul. Please please please as someone who is learning to cook for herself, could you give tips or maybe share with us some of your recipes? Everything you cook looks amazing and delicious ✨

[@whiskeybabe]

[@MarriettaNLN]

Hi Linh I'm one year older than you and I'm sort of experiencing a post-grad crisis about my future but watching your videos puts me at ease and somehow gives me faith that I'll figure everything out and just take things in stride like you've been doing. Thank you for reminding me to enjoy my life

[@faresaaulia2792]

This video is so good. Thank you linh

[@lorenavibes]

So beautiful sunsets 🤍

[@karic.1743]

Girl, I’m 32 and pregnant with my second baby. I have a two year old. If there’s something I have learnt is that as much I tried to plan when I would finish school etc it just never happened. Life happened and kept happening and keeps happening. I’m doing my masters at the moment and I will still have a year left after baby is born. So far I don’t want to take a break but only god knows what I will do. Dont let society or culture other things pressure you to do things by a certain age. You will be fine at the end

[@kxiii33]

linhs vids bring so much comfort to me

[@Auralemusicgal]

Last year of highschool for me !!! Very excited but also extremely nervous because the last entrance exams determine whether i go to my dream university or not. These past few days i was feeling very unproductive and unmotivated all of a sudden. But this video put me in the grinding mood! Your videos make me so happy and ambitious! You are a life saver linh!!!!!!❤❤❤

[@liaa4434]

the music from the older videos is such nostalgia aajssaah 🧡💙

[@sportbilly_vlogz1115]

Oh my god Linh it makes me so happy to watch you grow up, been watching since the lockdown days, HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉😂

[@lizbethrojas9875]

Damnnn 30 minutes of content linh really fed us today whooo

[@kinga9906]

Thank you so much for your videos! I needed content like that. Also I really appreciate the code for headspace, because I'm stressed and worried lately and meditation may be a good way to manage that!!

[@aomysirapa]

love watching your vlogs ! they are so relaxing to watch but at the same time watching you work at home keeps me motivated too ! congrats on finishing senior year:D

[@taylorsbookstacks]

Happy belated!! My 22nd was on the 25th!!
