Omg!! How much more can our lives be relatable Paige! I travel to office in train two days a week. I try to cram in study days. I went for the Barbie movie by myself cos I am a young professional living alone just like you. Especially the last one minute of the video....felt like it was me talking 😂. I was feeling sad about that but... Not anymore 😅😅😅😊.

[@sealmi]

So true at the end :(( It feels like friends still stick forever but after school everyone drifts apart from eachother

[@Tibialstone7]

Your videos are so relatable and inspiring Paige! I really like how you don't shy away from weakness/failure/setback. So many other youtubers focus on highlights and their best bits, but it alienates them from "ordinary" folk like us 😁 You got these next set of exams in the bag! Also you need to invest in some wear-over waterproof trousers, game changer for cycling!

[@onehumanfromearth5063]

"If I was marking my paper I would have passed me" 😂👏👍. Great outfits from LilySilk and versatile too. The intro line ''corporate girly inspo look at me go'' is a catchy tagline.

[@gst7409]

Paige you should never feel alone you’ve got 200k + of us here for you x 💕👍

[@charlottew1938]

I really appreciate you vlogging these sorts of weeks. I’m also a fairly recent grad living in what was my uni city, and definitely relate to the feeling of inevitably drifting from friends. I often spend weekends alone, and like you, I know I need a lot of alone time and enjoy my own company, but it’s still okay to feel lonely sometimes. I also saw the barbie movie on my own, too! I was going to see it with some work colleagues a couple of weeks after it came out, but I wanted to find out what all the hype was about so went on its first weekend by myself. It’s sometimes hard to not feel like people are judging you, even when they’re probably not even paying any attention. Thanks again for sharing this, judging by the comments, lots of other people can relate too 😊

[@onehumanfromearth5063]

Nice honest discussion about real stuff at the end. I agree with your view on the whole drinking & partying stuff. Nice to know others also don't find it that appealing too.

[@valarie218]

Hello Paige (from Singapore again!). I'm 34 this year and I certainly understand that feeling of drifting away from friends after university graduation. I've been to a few MCU movies by myself and having to study a masters degree on the side while I worked full time doesn't leave me much time to make plans and hang out with friends (I believe it's the same for you!). I guess I just began to feel a lot more comfortable having myself as my own company, meeting acquaintances along the way (on events I attend myself - even though it is somewhat out of my comfort zone) and learning something new about myself each time I meet someone new. Then when I was living my best life, bang! Someone special comes along the way and another phase of life kicks in. The message I'm trying to convey is that being alone is not necessarily bad and can really bring in plenty of new life experiences because one is not bound by the obligation to compromise with someone else. Enjoy it while you can! And I must admit, if you like a really good storyline, Oppenheimer came to mind. I don't necessarily feel invested in the characters, but I was certainly very drawn to the story. I held my bladder throughout the three hours I was in the theatres!

[@khrystynamykhailiuk1024]

Payge, you are so down-to-Earth and an incredible girl. I adore you and your vlogs. 😍You inspire and motivate me a lot. Thank you very much for it!😊😉 I wish you all the best with your actuarial exams and job career. Hello from Ukraine!💙💛

[@MisSonderbar]

I have also been to the barbie movie by myself. That was a wonderful experience. Sometimes we need to go outside our comfort zone ♥

[@vickylin1950]

Thank you Paige for showing us your quiet week. So relatable as I am an introvert myself😂

[@benjaminprobinson]

I love how relatable this is! I am a 20 year old virtual university student and struggle with making new friends so much! I had a good bit in high school, but it’s so hard at this age for some reason!

[@lolasunflower6350]

I also got a silk pillow case to help with my hair damage. It was hard to get used to it being so "slippery"😅😅 my pillow always needs to be at the end of the bed for some support or otherwise it slips away.

[@edmondmurphy]

Congrats on 200k subscribers!!

[@lifeiswonderful2023]

Hats off to you Paige, for chatting about going to the cinema alone (I too went to see Barbie by myself last Saturday) and for feeling lonely (I spent Sunday on my own too). We should about these topics more often, because so many of us feel exactly like you.

[@lotuslife6587]

Aahh Paige you are so much fun to watch!

[@lauraelisee]

As someone in my early 30s, it felt as if every year that went by I would drift away from a few more friends. It definitely takes a conscious effort as you get older! But it’s worth it to meet new people and make new friends with common interests ❤

[@philippamuir332]

I agree

[@-es2bf]

As you grow older, you naturally tend to develop in new directions, and the same goes for your old friends.

[@emmaberwick1479]

Love this energy! I hope youre okay on that note. Also resonate with that feeling on friends. Take care Paige ❤

[@danielbautista7]

When you feel alone remember there’s always someone you already know or in your future who wishes they were there for you in tough times. Plus, you’ll meet people and make more friends in the future who will make all the struggles worth it. Just trust :)

[@davidcarter5038]

I can't believe you've never been to the Arts Cinema! The trick for going to the cinema/theatre by yourself is to take a notebook and jot notes in it occasionally. People will assume you're a critic/reviewer working. About 21:30 onwards: loads of us feel like that. Talking to people after lockdown makes me think a lot more people enjoyed not having to party than admit it. The trick for me was to realise the difference between being alone and being lonely and not letting society make me feel guilty for spending time on my own.

[@dundermifflinscranton]

Was waiting for you to upload yesterday cause I remembered you, and here you are 🥳

[@violachickno1]

Totally agree on Barbie! And going to the cinema by yourself 😊

[@gst7409]

Congratulations on 200k Paige. Well deserved. I love watching your vlogs and vids x 💕👍

[@veraopaleva7522]

Hi Paige! Many thanks for the vlog. I can relate so much!!

[@tomhiddle7668]

Love your energy and kindness,really enjoy watching your vlog

[@jamesramsey7159]

Thanks for the update. You are still progressing nicely with your goals. Always ok to modify your plans. Appreciate the cooking info, good stuff

[@martinarauz8584]

Lovely video Page, greetings from South America!

[@florencem7438]

Paige, I always enjoy your videos; particularly the results videos. Keep up the good work! best luck in your repeat! By the way I'm a subscriber even though I could be your mum agewise!

[@silvialogan9226]

Paige, I went to see the Barbie movie last week. It was okay, but not the best. I go to the cinemas by myself all the time. I love your outfits. They look so nice on you.

[@liliansmeenge3297]

A friend of mine subscribed to a Facebook dinner page in her city. She went to people their houses to eat with them and meet new people. Maybe something like that exists in Cambridge too?

[@dundermifflinscranton]

YOU WERE LISTENING TO NEW JEANS HAHAH CUTE!!!!

[@rondoflicflac]

Loved this vlog❤

[@danielbautista7]

Haven’t seen Barbie or Oppenheimer. Across the Spiderverse was good though. I’d recommend The Fantastic Mr Feynman documentary if you wanna hear about the Manhattan project from his perspective. It’s not as heavy as Oppenheimer. - it’s still kinda heavy though obviously… okay maybe it’s a bit heavier than oppenheimer. But at least it has good moments too and not centred around the a bomb

[@4tarsus]

Work tip from an oldster, fwiw: Stash a change of clothes at the office, at some point you'll need them. Something serviceable, but not especially dear. Putting them in a small gym bag w/ your name on it lessens the chance of getting tossed out by the cleaners.

[@PaigeY]

You’re so right. Just need a locker!

[@4tarsus]

@@PaigeY At my office there were a couple of coat closets, I put my bag up on a shelf. Co-workers who were cold sensitive also kept their "office sweaters" there.

[@Intia777]

I feel the exact same about the Barbie movie. Should never have expectations :(

[@charlottey5859]

Totally agree with the Barbie movie opinion, i went in with high expectations as well but the plot disappoints me, however I also liked it overall, it’s just i expected it to be better😢

[@AJ-pz8mp]

THAT BLUE BLOUSE ON YOU

[@Minsily_Pages]

8:38 me hearing super shy and dropping my pen while studying like wait-- she in kpop?????

[@Vickcy]

Hi Paigey 👋 Namaste🙏 looking cute babe❤ Nice vlog & especially ur formal outfits!!😄😚👍

[@mariogoldan4351]

Hi Paige I’m currently waiting for my a level results and I studied maths bio and chem. I applied to uni but for a science course and now Im finding out that I actually enjoy business and actuary more. And im not sure what to do, is it better to change the uni course or do an apprenticeship to become an actuary. What would u do if u were in my position? Thank you

[@Brookdale731]

Apply for the apprenticeships you can always defer uni for a year and chase the actuary/business option if it doesn’t work out you can go to uni the year after. I’m a secondary teacher and I have had loads of students do this most of them that find the apprenticeship they want - go that route and don’t need the back up option.

[@PaigeY]

Tricky! The exam exemptions are definitely worth going down the apprenticeship or actuarial degree route if you’re set on it. But on the flip side I think science courses are more exciting degrees and you can still become an actuary after. I think I’d look into actuarial science degrees available in ucas clearing if I were you 🙂

[@chadwickgrant4244]

I thought it was professional liability insurance, not indemnity insurance. I'm not sure! haha just a student right now

[@chadwickgrant4244]

After further googling, i believe both exist as valid types of insurance :( very unfortunate

[@grachoderunwiderstehlichen]

congratulation's to your country , that is why English-Books are based in UK/GB Paige yes your look is at any circumstance amazing , i lovelike your rolling eyes ...if i mute this video i mean you could be a american nanny 😘

[@nicolad8822]

What were the tickets you were trying to get?

[@PaigeY]

Newsies the musical. Luckily I think it’ll be back next year!

[@mattwebb5532]

200k followers - not bad for an introvert 😊!!

[@BadThetan]

I go to movies all the time by myself. If I want to see it I just go. I recently went to Oppenheimer. I didn’t ask anyone if they wanted to go or wait to find someone that wanted to see it. I just got my ticket and went. Don’t even care. If I want to see a movie I will just go. I don’t need someone to go with me

[@benyoyyoyo8381]

buy better olive oil , for cooking , love the video ,

[@paulbhogal]

Forget actuarial science you should be in. Advertising 🤣

[@PepperpigWorld]

Being an Actuary seems pretty boring to most, not exactly changing the world or anything, good money tho

[@philippamuir332]

Paige describes herself as an introvert but i disagree

[@90sHONEY]

She knows herself better than you :)

[@MobtacticsBruh]

Are you holding off on dating?

[@ticketyboo2456]

I think Paige has mentioned going on a date in a recent vlog.

[@MobtacticsBruh]

@@ticketyboo2456 can imagine what type of guy she would date? Man..she must be looking for like an Astronomer from a rich family or of course… a doctor

[@nicolad8822]

@@MobtacticsBruh Why of course a Doctor? Actuaries make more money.

[@MobtacticsBruh]

@@nicolad8822 in America they don’t lol

[@90sHONEY]

You need to stop being a creep. I just looked at the other comments you leave under Paige's videos ("skip to---for attractive Paige" / "(.)(.)") and seriously, stop please.
