It is crazy how I know people in high school, people in undergrad, people in grad school, married, single/never dated, have children, live at home or live across the country- Such a wide variety of situations in the 18-23 range

[@peterjay9826]

18 to 23? try 18 to 30

[@laurenashley_3]

I graduated in May too and still don’t have my career. I realized I still have no idea what I want to do and didn’t network enough so I’m still trying to get my feet in the door. It’s hard! College does not prepare you enough for the real world.

[@stephlyndsey3932]

College doesn't prepare you for the real world. Experience does. That's why internships, volunteering and part time jobs are really important in undergrad! 👌

[@wisdomandlove1661]

did you get a good paying job?

[@hellotheir1427]

I just graduated with a computer science degree and cant get a job. Im trying to get quick jobs to build resume and get a car.

I'm a freshman at a community college and after graduating highschool, I have been trying to save and learn about how money works because once I transfer and finally graduate I really want to be debt free and financially smart.

[@alyssap1103]

Totally agree with everything you said, especially about scheduling! Working full time it feels like you really only have time to accomplish one thing every night (go to the gym, run errands, see friends, etc.) before you have to get ready for the next day of work. Its definitely a weird adjustment but it definitely has helped me to figure out what I value most because my time is so limited during the week! A lot of people older than me have also told me how beneficial it is to live at home, which I chose to do, and I can completely see why since you save so much money :-)

[@missangelstarful]

I'm currently in 4th year and even though I have a job lined up, I've been completely freaking out about life after graduation. This was soo incredibly helpful, thank you so much!

[@RM-cl3wt]

love how genuine, honest, and real you are!

[@alyl8991]

Such great advice! I'm in graduate school right now, and a lot of these things are still true for me. I'm glad you're loving the stage of life you're in. Undergrad is definitely a time to be treasured because our lives are never the same once we graduate.

[@KirstenNicole]

ahhhh I'm so glad you said you love weekends post grad! I am in my last semester of college and have been juggling two jobs with classes, so I use my weekends for studying. So excited to look forward to free weekends after graduation 🤗

[@MARCIASTANTON]

What a great video!!I graduated a few years ago and it’s definitely an adjustment! I still live with my parents and I love it! I save so much money by living with them and I enjoy their company! :)

[@Grebby80]

just knowing the best time of your life is in the past is what sucks. all the good times, worry-free/minimal responsibilities, care-free fun with close friends are all in the past. thats just what has me in my feels.

[@NaturalSounds13]

I feel exactly like that.. 3 more semesters and then.. Graduation. I Honestly don't know how I will manage it as an adult with a full time job😭 Have you adjusted?

[@rosehanlon985]

I graduated college in December, so it's all still really fresh. I'm living at home because I didn't get a job lined up. The winter break is over for high schoolers and most college students. Since I'm unemployed (but searching) at the moment it feels like I've been left behind (a little bit). I understand and relate to the points you have made. The struggle is real! Thanks for the video, I think I really needed to hear someone else's experience.

[@carolina5971]

Hey! I was wondering if you could do a video eith your mom on her experience as an engineer especially being female and Hispanics since things were so different back then then they are now. Hope that made sense ❤️

[@BriannaFornes]

Yesss !!! Thankyouuu for always sharing everything with us❤️❤️

[@xxBailey3xx]

I just graduated in December and am starting my job tomorrow! This video was so helpful! The living alone thing is so relatable, but I plan to live at home for a bit and save money and then get an apartment in a few months like you did. Thank you so much for this video!

[@racheljaskula675]

Girl I totally feel you... I just graduated from university in June and it's been so hard moving back home and having to readjust to living with my family again.

[@KaraBacon]

I just graduated in December and I totally agree with everything that you said. Except i have a little more post grad depression since i don't have a job yet

What was your major?

@@KaraBacon did u find job? Thanks

[@LourdesLaurel]

we love a GIRL BOSS! this video motivated me so much!! i'm a freshman in college and god, the adjusting process has been though but what worries me the most is what will be of me after college. This video definitely motivated me to keep focusing and working on my goals. I hope i can manage to live by myself right after i graduate, especially bc i still live in my hometown since my college is here so one more year with them (after i graduate) would be so hard but anyways i'm so excited for the future

[@JamieRenee101]

Super relatable! I really miss college.. it’s such a special time. But living the adult life is cool too and it’s a growing experience for sure! Also side note I love your top!

[@myk4322]

THANK YOU for this. I just graduated in May and am still searching for a job and wanting to move out asap. It's reassuring to hear all of this from others and you put my thoughts into words! Best of luck to you :)

[@Abaybeb]

Love this video, I’m starting my last semester of college in January and so I’ve been really interested in hearing what people have to say about post grad

[@alexandramei1975]

Natalie I love your channel because I find your videos to be very relatable! I love your college content and I am loving your post graduation content too!

[@paramjotkaur3531]

this was actually great advice for post-grads

[@minasbaguette889]

See your experience right now is what my college was like because for most of my college life I was a commuter and so you have to be intentional about seeing friends , also I worked during college so I was busy with school and work.

[@wasilewa1]

I'm in my last year of university and i'm terrified for what's coming !!! But this video was very real and helpful, thank you !

[@mariamajao20]

This is such a great video! More videos like this in the future please! 😊😊

[@gaea2580]

Sounds like you are killin post-grad life! Can you please do a video about networking? And maybe about how you got into consulting with an engineering degree?

[@luciamei7842]

*Omg!! You’re so creative 💕you inspire me so much as a small youtuber 💕*

[@FloraGoodman]

Lucia Mei same❤️❤️

[@FaithTheGreatt]

YAS i been waiting on this video!!

[@kathleendiep1677]

Totally agree with you about post grad!!

[@AddittiAgrawal]

i really loved this video!!

[@sarahkromminga4101]

really good advice as always :)

[@itskathniss]

I can relate so much. Choosing friends to keep up with because you can’t keep up with everyone. Weekendddds are indeed so much better. Back in college, weekends are usually for studying. Now it feels so gooooood. To sum it up, i feel like Dobby being handed by socks. I AM FREE.

[@beautybeat9881]

Second year in college studying interior design and it’s a lot harder than people think even I didn’t think I’d be spending as many hours as I do doing school work and it’s really really stressful!

[@EllieofAzeroth]

I met my husband during freshman year OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL. I think that's the key to having a healthy and balanced relationship honestly. If you're apart until the weekends all the time, you have a lot to talk about, and we came from different worlds anyway so it was easy to keep conversation going. We wound up getting married the same year and it's already been two years :)

[@berkleeryann]

I graduate in May and I'm sooo excited!

[@LayneFable]

I found that I have zero drive to ever go out and drink unless it's someones birthday or a big big holiday haha

[@joycevandrost6712]

Same!! I feel like I never want to go out even though I'm free

[@johannar5282]

Loved this vid! Just graduated and starting full time this upcoming summer, excited but nervous. What made you start your clothing store? Even though i'll be working a 9 to 5, i definitely am looking to start my own company. I'd love to get any advice!

[@venechic]

I have one more semester in college so this was super helpful! 🙂

[@tagelasfiarania6519]

How you take the break up so easily?,,,,,,,, video request :Make a video about how to forget the person you dated for example for the whole last year of college and then dumped you

[@adelexmarie]

I graduate college this May and I'm terrified honestly lol. Can't tell if this video makes me feel better or worse

[@AyoJess]

I’m ending my junior year and will be a senior this summer. I’m looking to network a lot during this last year of school and apply to jobs in my last semester so I have something set up after I graduate.

[@kathrynfrizzle3062]

can you make a video about how you chose your career? and how you knew it was what u wanted to do

[@haleymcgehee1808]

I'm in my second year of college and I'm constantly worried about where I am in life right now and what I'm going to be doing in the future. It makes me sad because I am so lost and life sucks rn and has for a while

[@killcounter1587]

Believe me. I feal youu

[@Auntieskitty]

This is my last year for an undergrad. I'm looking into a Masters and then deciding whether to go straight into it or wait about half a year or not. Masters is in Education.

Hey I graduated this May and I majored in elementary education. I don't feel like I am ready though even with student teaching as I was not teaching the entire class as much as I would have liked.

[@almxlb]

How did you get a job ? I’m seeking and applying like crazy but nothing has worked ? I need help I’m also studying engineering

[@123meenasalih]

Personally I want to move out but I don't have the money to do that and go to college and live in a dorm, but I'm saving money and I need someone to guide me throughout my journey of college so that I can stay focused! But it can be annoying when I want alone time and my parents wants me to hang out with them constantly. Still love them tho!

[@CrystalBatshon]

such good advice! we also just did a reflection on being one year out of college on our channel 💕
