uk on lockdown: forced to leave university (my last durham uni vlog)

the uk was put on lockdown meaning i had to leave university -- i've since been told i won't be going back. this obviously isn't the way any of us expected my university vlogs to end, but i hope you enjoy this video nonetheless. thanks for everything durham uni ❤️
hope you're all doing well - i'm sending you, your families, and all the people on the frontline fighting this hideous virus loads and loads of love.

At 8:10 I thought he said 'that was my train by the way' and I was sat here wondering why he would prioritise setting up a camera for the aesthetic instead of just running for his train

[@vanillacherub6847]

I heard the same thing and I was so confused and thought up so many scenarios. I concluded that that train probably slows down and stops at the station ahead where he's suppose to walk and board it. Basically that the train hasn't arrived yet but he's run forward and set up the camera just to get a footage of the train before it slows down.

[@oswin9827]

Bro you're not being melodramatic at all, I get how you feel. I'm in my final year of A-Levels, we've just had our exams (and prom/graduation as well, likely) cancelled, we've got no idea when school is gonna reopen, and despite not being the biggest fan of school, I really wanted to cherish my final year in this madhouse. This is such a weird time rn :///

[@isaaclewis-king1450]

I'm actually sobbing after watching this, like how has a youtube video made me cry? I think it's because when i recognise how depressing a situation like that is leaving what's been a thriving town and university for you for almost 3 years and is now a ghost town. Then the empty train alone feels like you must be doing something wrong. Also, i have watched your videos all the way since your inter railing vlogs and all the way through your Durham journey. You've inspired all of us though so it's not a bitter end. Every one of us bloody loves you and your endless puns. I was planning to inter rail due to seeing your vlogs then, dk if that's still gonna happen now, and then highly likely moving onto Durham to take psych because you made me so excited by it all. I didn't even know Durham existed before. I started watching you from when you're yt journey started and now im going on exactly the same journey as you from when i started watching which is kind of uncomprehendable to me. Wish you all the best and can't wait for my uni journey to start 😭❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

And while it ended strangely I got through, got my degree (as I have no doubt you will too) and life continues.

[@kenna176]

This is such a fascinating time capsule. It's lovely to already know how well you've done in the last three years.

Hopefully you’ll be able to celebrate when this horrible virus is behind us all💔

[@mynameiskellbell]

I’ve been fully online at my university (in the US) for about a year now, so it’s definitely a change and I’ve found that creating a schedule that you follow every week is definitely helpful. And now that I’m working from home full time too, schedule is the best thing I’ve found. Waking up every morning and changing like you normally would (even if it’s just into different pajamas) eating at the same times you normally would. It definitely gets boring but just gotta figure out ways to get through it. Also I’m so sorry about your graduation, mine got postponed until further notice but I know so many people who have had their graduations cancelled. It’s so sad because we have all worked so hard for it and the schools should find a way to make it up to the seniors.

jack i know EXACTLY how you feel!! my last spring quarter (ucla is not on semester system) ever was cancelled and now moved online. within the span of 24 hours my graduation was cancelled but now postponed to sometime next year (probably next june) due to students protesting and student government demanding that our university administration do something, so i hope that's an option for you too. my heart goes definitely out to you and the rest of the class of 2020. i was looking forward to so many things to celebrate the end of an era but the silver lining to all of this is it is making me reevaluate what it truly is i want out of life and im privileged to be able to go back to a home where there's food (bless my resourceful nonhoarding parents). that being said, allow yourself to feel every emotion and take it literally a day at a time. i know it's tough but we got this, we'll come out of this stronger.

I'm so sorry your final year ended up like this Jack. There are definetely more important things going on but you are allowed to be sad and 'grief'. It was a pleasure to join you in this amazing adventure. I'm a literature major and I started classes in February but they got moved online in March, which is kinda sad because freshman year was supposed to be this amazing change in my life and suddenly I'm stuck at home, miss my new friends, and now I amsupposed to study when I was just starting to understand how university works. Anyway, I know these are sad times for the world and also for our projects, but remember that by staying home you are taking care not only of yourself but of your loved ones.

I can relate to everything you described! Lockdown in Spain started a couple of weeks ago and it was very weird. A couple of friends and I rented a van to drive back home (600 km away) without using public transport and it was the most random and surreal feeling ever! We truly felt like fugitives.

[@dan5721]

It’s well weird seeing you leave when I watched you arrive. I’ve left high school as well, not how I expected that to go, 3 months early and I had 1 day to say goodbye. I felt the weird emotions too, it just felt like a feeling of displacement, like what happens now, things just ended but without all the endings (assemblies, prom, last day) so it doesn’t feel like it’s quite real when it is happening. All of us exam takers were working towards a performance peak, and now there is no top of the mountain why bother climbing, when they will finish building the ski lift in 3 months time? It’s so odd, my entire life has been flipped, all my trips cancelled and the things my day and entire life for the next 3 months revolved around just gone. I’m still processing it all, students have ended up with a really raw deal, I think we can have our moment of self pity.

Watching you pack up your room reminded me of how stressful it was packing my Erasmus experience (and all of my shit) up in one day and flying back home before the airlines stopped

I felt this in the biggest way. I'm in s6 (Scottish equivalent of year 13) and that's my school days just over for me. Our prom, leavers and exams are all cancelled and our last day was just a random day in March, leaving us without a proper goodbye to the people we've spent the last 6-13 years with. I completely understood what you meant when you said you weren't sure how to feel cause, on the one hand, there are obviously far more serious issues at play yet it still feels like we're being robbed of the ending we've spent years working for. I hope you get through your exams and the lockdown with a bit of remaining sanity as that is all we can really wish for anymore.

This gave me a lump in my throat, I'm at Falmouth in my third year and we've been told the same. I'm still living down there because it made more sense to stay in my house by the sea than move back to London, but I know we all feel this too. The weirdest way to end 3 years studying damn hard. I know there are obviously huge things going on at the moment but the only thing we truly can focus on is what isn't happening, which is finishing third year in the ideal situation. Many hugs to anyone else who feels lost and down x

Emily Anna a very anticlimactic ending but something tells me you’ll get the opportunity to meet your fellow classmates again maybe for graduation but regardless I understand your frustrations. I would say to try and stay positive and confident in yourself as too much negativity is breeding around. Consider Checking out my vid on productivity: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6HGf5eVnpmSl9E peace ✌🏽
