Even if you might have a similar routine the vlogs don’t feel repetitive to me! Every week they are just as interesting and enjoyable to watch so I’d say to keep them the same!! 🫶🏻 love this one as always xx😊

[@lydiavioleta_]

I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you for the feedback! X

[@mila7870]

Definitely agree!

[@delphinelarmuseau6491]

I also really like these type of vlogs. I don’t watch a lot of youtube videos because most of them are not relatable at all, but yours always are. I think authenticity is your strong point and it would be shame if you would lose that. I am also in my final year of university, writing my dissertation and working a job so I just love that we have similar routines and life stages at the moment. Lots of love!

[@lydiavioleta_]

This is so lovely to hear, thank you!! x

[@mrstje6501]

I really like the vlogs the way they are, if anything I wish they were longer! 😄 Hoping you’re ok after the appointment, sending love and light 🤍✨

[@lydiavioleta_]

Thank you for the feedback!! I’m all good thank you 💗

[@mycomplicatedlife2488]

Personally speaking, I love seeing you go through your day at University. I’ve been wanting to go back to school for a while, but can’t afford to. So watching you helps me alleviate that feeling of missing out.

[@alisontaylor6135]

Quality not quantity! xx

[@MillicentMB]

I love the vlogs just as they are - they have lovely cosy, productive vibes and are helping me get through my revision x

[@lydiavioleta_]

Thank you so much for the feedback! Xx

[@DanielasVideoDiary]

I think the vlogs are repetitive but it’s like you said, there’s nothing you can do about it right now. I appreciate how relatable your content is and how authentic you are!

[@katiegreenwood3737]

Hi Lydia! I think your vlogs are exactly what we are looking for. Those who have graduated remember the stress and repetitiveness of the final year, those who are in it are relating, and those who will be here soon are looking to you to see how it will be! If you wanted to add to them to change it up a little, I am very interested in your exercise/ weightlifting journey! I would also love to see the behind the scenes of creating Tiktoks (coming up with ideas, planning, filming, etc...) Hang in there and enjoy the rest of college, you'll miss it when it's over!

[@lydiavioleta_]

Thank you so much for your feedback!! I can definitely talk more about fitness and my content creation if people would be interested xx

[@syliatz9689]

I love your vlogs just the ways they are ! They are super authentic. You're doing such a good job. I admire your consistency xx

[@lydiavioleta_]

thank you!! xx

[@holls1112]

Loving the vlogs as they are! So, so comforting when I am doing Uni at the same time!!

[@stellacrosby-close1278]

Love the vlogs- they inspire me to be productive and do my own work 😂would love to see a what I eat in a day and how you make your meals for some food inspiration xx

[@mila7870]

I enjoy your vlogs as they are! What I like most that you show a productive and healthy/balanced lifestyle but still realistic and attainable ❤

[@ellaminty8156]

I really like these vlogs, I watch them before a Monday morning because as a third year uni student it’s so relatable and motivating especially whilst trying to write the diss!! ❤

[@jodieclarke6387]

I love your vlogs as they remind me of when I was in uni and I was just like you. I work full time now and your vlogs are almost like nostalgia for me, keep them the same! 💖

[@niamhunaoleary5667]

What you eat in a day,simple makeup,glam/going out makeup,different hairstyles,morning and night routine’s.

[@caterinabierti6339]

April is the most stressful month of uni and I am not looking forward to it starting, but it is always nice to see that we are not alone but rather in this together! Also, wish you the best for all of your upcoming appointments of the weekend x

[@farhatali2763]

Perfect weakly volg thanks u sharing everything

[@joyceheidendal9420]

i love the way your vlogs are right now❤ i understand you might feel worried they are repetitive but as a fellow final year student i can confirm that this is what your final year looks like, and it's nice to actually see a realistic depiction of it, and to recognise myself in it. also, constantly seeing you work on your thesis helps to motivate me to work on my own thesis❤

[@nataljawells3761]

Hi Lydia! It’d be lovely to get a bit more of an insight on how you spend your week days evening x

[@rondoflicflac]

I really enjoy vlogs as they are! I know it must be hard, since you're filming your everyday life, but your vids bring me such confort and make me feel like I'm not alone! Love from Argentina!!

[@pipthomas4928]

Love waking up on a Saturday morning to watch your productive uni diaries. Gets me organised and pumped for the following week. Keep them coming.

[@lydiavioleta_]

that's so great to hear!! x

[@bookishforeigner]

I started watching your videos when I got accepted to Leeds last summer. I will also be done with my degree work for Uni of Leeds in June/July, so it's coming full circle. Looking forward to the end sprint with you!

[@luizaknopp6308]

We love the vlogs! You motivate me. Love from Brazil 🇧🇷 ❤

[@molri564]

Hi Lydia! I don't usually comment but I have been watching your channel for years and feel like you are one of my best friends in a weird way! I love watching your vlogs and seeing how real and genuine you are- I am at uni too and yes each day is much the same!- but that's real life and I love seeing the highs and lows of uni in a true representative way feel like I'm not alone with my final year uni struggles! Keep going you got this !! Such an inspiration for just being you- don't stress ! :) x

[@poppygwilliams6118]

i just love your vlogs. they get me through my day and also aspire me to work hard for when i go to uni next year, thanks Lydia❤️

[@lydiavioleta_]

thank you so much, that's great to hear! x

[@lucymarie9261]

I love your vlogs! It would be really interesting to see more about your approach to gut health and meal prep ❤

[@lydiavioleta_]

thank you! yes I can definitely talk more about this xx

[@chloelincoln2021]

absolutely love popping these vlogs on whilst I'm doing my own dissertation analysis (ironic that its about social media and education)! it gives the vibes that I'm on facetime to a friend whilst doing work x

[@lydiavioleta_]

i love that!! good luck with your diss x

[@steveRodg1987]

Hi Lydia, Your vlogs are so inspirational, I am currently sitting my GCSE Maths and they are just the morning vibe to motivate me for the period of study time needed in order to pass alongside work, keep up the dedication and of course hope you achieve your target grade in July. Love 2 how your from Nottingham, the best city by far in my opinion.

[@kendrajohnson6535]

Thank you, Lydia :) I love your vlogs just as they are. They don't feel repetitive to me and it is lovely to see you progressing through your work, especially your dissertation, and also taking time to take care of yourself. As I am something of a chronic procrastinator and someone who doesn't do that well at looking after themselves, you and your vlogs are very inspiring to me - thank you! x

[@lydiavioleta_]

I'm so glad to hear that!! x

[@wiam4426]

J'adore tes vlogs sont vraiment incroyables 😘

[@skyevictoria8491]

Okay so I’m in the exact same position with data analysis and SPSS and I feel this on a spiritual level so … go you, well done 👏🏻 🎉

[@lydiavioleta_]

good luck!! xx

[@rebecca39554]

Lydia we love whatever content you put out! The aesthetic of the clips, your personality, the editing that’s what keeps us coming back not how crazy the activities are that you’re up to weekly x As a masters student myself I really relate to every week kind of feeling the same, and honestly find it reassuring to kind of check in with you every weekend and see others in the same boat as me! If you do want to vary up the content, I think it’d be fun if you did q&as within the weekly vlogs every now and then so we get to hear your opinion on maybe like current trends, life plans, being in your early 20’s, gals advice etc sprinkled throughout But also literally no pressure, I watch every week regardless! Lots of love 🫶🏻

[@lydiavioleta_]

thank you SO much for your feedback! this is so lovely to hear, and I love the q&a idea!!! x

[@Mh-kl8mk]

You should share your recipes. Looks so delicious!

[@clairefarmery1525]

Hope everything is ok xx

[@merle-k]

I love watching your vlogs! Especially because i am in a similar situation with my degree and currently also working on my diss. I really like the clips of of you studying and working in the library, maybe you could do a real time study with me video for like 30-60 minutes? 😊

[@annikaa.3854]

We want to see Sid more!! Already missing him xx

[@supermanfan3806]

Amazing vlog Lydia ❤

[@lydiavioleta_]

Thank you!

[@niamhunaoleary5667]

Oh Lydia I could write a book on my digestive issues only got done in August last year with my actual IBS diagnosis so im on medication if I wasn’t on the medication I would be in A and E curled up in a ball it’s disastrous so I can feel ur pain but I found with the diagnosis once I knew it was relief and I’m just avoiding my triggers so I’m on a good pathway to health and healing.Best wishes to you xx

[@taysoo___]

quality is amazing ❤

[@lydiavioleta_]

Thank you! X

[@leoniihpin]

I loooove your vlogs the way they are - honestly, they are some of my faves and I love spending saturday morning watching them! As someone else has said, if anything, I wish they were longer🥰. Please don't feel like they are repetitive and boring! Personally for me, that is one of the things make vlogs the most authentic. I hate watching content to which I cannot relate at all! 💜

[@lydiavioleta_]

thank you so much, that's fab to hear!! xx

[@tiadigby573]

I love these vlogs!! Im currently in the middle of doing my dissertation at Leeds uni right now too so it's relatable to life right now :) Please could you include how much work you're doing each day like a word count log or something? Thankyou for making these xxx

[@lydiavioleta_]

I'm glad you enjoy!! I purposely don't really talk about specific time spent working or word counts because it's a very individual journey, and I don't want to encourage people comparing their progress or adding any extra pressure! I hope you understand x

[@afongg]

Your lashes look so nice😩😍

[@GeorginaTurner]

Don’t be concerned that your results weren’t significant! It happens all the time. Just makes sure you talk about WHY you think your results were found, and how you could change the study in the future to possibly find significant results if you did it again x

[@Chloe-ck7lz]

My data has come back non-significant too! So annoying 😅 I’m so stuck on what to even write now hahaha

[@KazLife557]

I love your vlogs and what you get up too. I'm very curious about your lunch you have. Got a recipe or even a vlog for it please?

[@lydiavioleta_]

I posted a TikTok about it this week!!

[@KazLife557]

I don't have tiktok 😞

[@elifzulal4373]

You can make a how much i spend in a week kind of video

[@ddppo8065]

I’m loving the vlogs but the only thing I’d change is perhaps you could film just a Q&A video or a chitchat makeup/skincare routine once in a while? I loved the morning/night routines with the voiceover too! Just to add more variety to the channel 🥰

[@calvinliu6304]

Love you

[@fiorabener7123]

So intresting to see the difference beetween unis in diffrent countries. My exam season starts in august thats 3 month after you😂 my friends have it in late june an the begining of july. (We study in the same country but they study at a general university and I at a technical one that has a different scedule..)

[@lydiavioleta_]

That is very interesting!

[@ddppo8065]

UK universities tend to have super short terms and long breaks...like a month for Easter, over a month for Christmas and 4 months of summer holidays is unlikely in other European countries, speaking from a person who studies in the UK but comes from another EU country💕

[@loiseigenraam]

Oh that is interesting! In Belgium we have 2 semesters and then 1-1.5 month of exams at the end of the semester and one week of vacation between sem 1 & sem 2. Summer vacay starts at the end of June and then retakes for both semester exams are at the end of summer vacay around August/September. But then in Holland (where I’m originally from) they do 4 terms with 4 exam periods.

[@fiorabener7123]

@@ddppo8065 Yes I heard that to. We have around 14 weeks per semester and then around 2 months learb period and 1 month exams

Please let us know what the battery service entailed? Mine has the same notification

I didn't end up getting it serviced because they said it'd take a week to do and I can't give up my laptop for a week at the moment haha!

My laptop said the same thing and I’ve been ignoring it too… they said it needed a new battery and they would have to have the laptop for over a week… couldn’t do that with how much uni work I had so I’m the end I bought a new laptop… just a heads up😬xx

[@lydiavioleta_]

yes they said I'd need to give it to them for a week too, but obviously that's impossible right now haha so it'll have to wait x

Wait are you ok??? You said you were upset after the doctors?…. Hope you are ok xx

[@girl_offline]

my dissertation is due in a week and a half, safe to say I'm stressed af because it's not going well at all 🥲 but I love watching your vlogs because we're currently doing the exact same things hahaha. Also, our lecturers also said that the actual results of diss don't matter because it's more about how you write it, rather than contributing to professional research lit with it!😮‍💨

[@lydiavioleta_]

good luck!! x
