I'm Graduating. Here's What I'm Doing After Uni.

[@catherine5128]

As someone who's been watching you since your first year of A-levels, it's so crazy to see how far you've come! From crying after your A-level biology exam, to travelling the world during your gap year and then doing this crazy 4-year degree - thank you for sharing your journey x

As someone who graduated a few years ago, I would say the main pieces of advice: - Take the time to work out what you want to do! I did not do this really, and as you say having the time to be able to process it all. So the fact you are admitting you don't know what you want to do is amazing. - Get a catch-up with your uni friends in the diary soon! It can be difficult to get it in the diary, start it off now :) Plus it gives you something to look forward to every few months. - You will make mistakes and regret it, however that's ok! In some ways, it's better to work out what you DON'T want to do than what you like to do. - Hold on to good people in workplaces, you'll know a good manager/work colleagues when you see it. Enjoy working with them too, a positive work culture makes all the difference. - Try voluneering for a while! You'll meet so many new people and giving back to your community is always a good thing. - Keep journalling and reflect on your work or volunteering experiences. Why did the role make you happy? Is the team good to work with and why? - Trust your gut - if something isn't working out (job, etc) then work out how to manage it or what to do next. No job is worth damaging your own mental health. - Consider working with a counsellor or a career coach to help you process your feelings, especially graduate blues (which I definitely had). - Sometimes your "idea" or "plan" that you had after uni didn't work out...that's ok. You're taking the long road to where you want to be. - Never stop learning!

as someone who graduated three years ago, my advice is: take the risk of doing something you love for work, even if there's instability/uncertainty. I had to work a different job while I searched for a career I actually liked in order to support myself and save up, and then I took the leap---it has been so rewarding, and I couldn't be more grateful!

[@sennosc]

and what are you doing now?

[@Ayesha-vy9gy]

Can I ask a little on how you explored different areas to find a career you actually liked?

[@fireflieer2422]

@@sennosci’m curious too!

[@AndromedaMoon888]

@@Ayesha-vy9gy great question! I think it really starts with knowing yourself-your strengths and weaknesses, your likes and dislikes. And if you’re not sure, it takes experimentation I worked a few diff internships during my college years so I knew where my priorities were (meaningful work mattered more to me than cool job perks, for instance). Through experience, confirmation from other people, self-reflection, and online tests I figured out my strengths (creative problem solving, innovation, adaptability, etc) and weaknesses (detail oriented work, repetitive tasks, etc). And I had studied abroad for a semester so I knew I could do overseas work and really enjoy it and not get too homesick I hope that helps! Sending good wishes your way!

[@Ayesha-vy9gy]

@AndromedaMoon Thank you so much for your advice! I'm in my last year of uni and every now and then I get overwhelmed and confused on whether this is the field I want to further pursue or not, and there arent much people i can talk about this with. I'll try to do just as you advised. Sending love your way ❤️

[@jodieturnerx]

I had a 'mourning period' after uni and it was a great thing for me. University is such an intense time emotionally and it's important to process it to be able to start a new chapter. It's not easy at first because life really slows down but it's totally worth it! Everything will work out - you have so much potential Jade xx

My casual magic today was sitting on the floor in the loungeroom with my parents, hugging my new guinea pig squishmallow and doing a paint by number :) I feel like I have finally re-learned how to rest and it feels amazing.

[@karabomangena]

Oh my word, it’s so comforting to hear a different perspective about graduation and life after uni. I’ve been in such a dark place in regards to my career, this awkward and unwanted gap year, what to do after graduating my second degree, wanted to do my masters but couldn’t because of financial constraints... This video just gave me a sense of peace for this season. I just need to process the life I’ve lived in uni and eventually, when I’m ready and everything around me allows, I’ll get onto the next chapter.🌵

[@UnJadedJade]

We're all on our own timelines and I'm coming to embrace it more and more!! 🦋 yes yes yes i love this for you

[@Lara-ym3pe]

As someone who was not mature enough to take the time off after finishing uni, and then finishing a master, please enjoy this time of freedom and peace! I went straight into my „dream job“ without having processed any of my student years and I am deeply regretting it. I love my job but I wish I would have not jumped head first into full time work as you are expected. Sending you much calmness and joy for the coming months 🧡🌞

[@linandrea1139]

My casual magic: Today it started to rain heavily in Taiwan and I just can’t appreciate it more as a rain lover, the sound of rain just makes me feel alive and cozy. And knowing that we’re gonna have more water in our reservoirs is simply exciting! Thanks for making these videos, they always give me motivation to live more mindfully and actively!🍀

[@elleneagles3379]

Congratulations Jade on graduating!! It's such a big thing! I graduated 5 years ago and honestly still don't know what I want to do. Chatting to a lot of my friends over the past year we're all at the same stage where we're in our mid 20s and still don't know what we want to be doing or where we want to be living. Society and media and films and books all sell you that you'll have your life together by your early 20s; you'll be settled in your dream job living with a close group of friends and from my experience this isn't the case. But that's okay! Being honest it can be a lonely time. You move away from your friends and maybe move to somewhere new for a job and it's then trying to create yourself a circle of friends. My advice would be keep finding gratitude in the everyday and enjoy exploring whatever area you're in. Enjoy what you're currently doing without worrying about whether you want to be going the same thing in 3 years time. Opportunities will open up! X

[@drashtivora3728]

Its been such a long and beatiful journey seeing you grow up and growing as a person along with you.I'm 17 and going to be 18 this year and taking my first step towards my future and your videos have been such a motivation and you have been a great inspiration throughout this journey .Your positivity is honestly my casual magic mostly☘️.Hope you have a great future and life ahead♥✨

This honestly means so much, thank you for growing up alongside me

[@meostrowski]

I just graduated (in april) and I felt so excited for my bachelors end because I studied something I hated for 5 years. now I'm starting a new higher education degree in the area I really wanted to study and my expectations are really high. while I was watching your video, I wanted to cry all the time because, even though I love studying, I truly don't understand this love one might feel about their bachelors experience. I wish I can feel the same soon, because the academic world is beautiful and I'm happy that you are here to show us that.

[@UnJadedJade]

Wow, thank you for being vulnerable about your experience with academia. I also struggled to find my subject -- being in a liberal arts degree just made it easier to explore. I hope your new higher ed experience fulfils all your hopes n dreams 🦋 lots of love x

[@sanjanahegade9588]

I just finished my first semester in college, and I didn't do well. I thought that I needed to work hard for my second semester. Recently, my second semester started, and I was feeling low. But when I watched your video, I felt motivated. You are just like sunshine. Keep smiling, Jade. Your smile is precious. I wish you all the best for your next journey."

[@Lolocks1]

You are so real for talking about parents getting older and us graduate students realising this. As someone who has lived 12-hours of flight away from their family for 4+ years, I feel this. It's a constant feeling of being split and guilt for missing out on big things. Thank you for bringing it up.

[@laurawithey8352]

Hi Jade, I wanted to share my experience with you post graduation! Its been nearly a year since I've left uni and reflecting back I couldn't have been more ready to leave. The education system in the UK drained me, I did a vacational degree so every grade I received back was subjective depending on who marked my work - I felt like I had poured all my energy into something I wasn't really getting any joy from anymore. After graduation I needed to decompress but also did not have the funds to take time out - I needed a job and quick. In this whirlwind I was working 11 HR days everyday for 7 months whilst living in a van to have lower overhead costs. Now I'm 3 months post job and have driven to Africa!! My casual magic for today is waking up in the Atlas mountains - a cool climate but with a hot sun ☀️☀️ 🌵🌵. I am shocked by what imaginable life I'm living now that I couldn't have dreamed of 12 months ago. Feeling very blessed and all because I didn't have a set path I wanted to take. Just took opportunities in their stride and left time to see what could happen. X thank you for this video you've brightened up my Saturday morning and given me something to reflect on :) have a great day!

[@HydrogenTwoO]

I think it is so empowering that you are taking time to process all the lives you have lived and know yourself well enough that you need time to ground. That is so important, and I think most people lose this in college. I also think it's important how you worded it, "all the lives I've lived." How many of us push so much that we feel we live different lives through the semesters of college?? I think that's so honest and just so wise, but so tied to the fact that you traveled for your degree specifically! I also LOVE the reminder that there are two ways to see things: life is full of possibility, or nothingness. We choose how we see it.

[@nasreensarah]

Thank you Jade. Not many people go on KZbin and talk about the very important phase of discovering the next step, rather than announcing the next step. I’m still at University, and even though I’m at the age where most of my friends have completed a lot of the units whereas I have just found a major, that I think I love- I’m training my mind, body and soul to be content and at peace with where I am. Your video made me feel supported in this goal. I pray to God that you get to spend quality time with your family, that you get to find a way to incorporate your love of learning, no matter where you are and what you do. I pray that your 1 moth of graduation goes splendidly, and that whatever is meant to reach, you, reaches you.

Just taking the time to breath, look out the window and listening to music 🪴 your channel inspired me to improve my life, change the way I think about my body and also my mental health. I realised that again when you talked about your body image because without realising it I stopped disliking my body at some point in the past month. That realisation made me very happy. Thank you for choosing to share your life and thoughts with the world. lots of love.

I've always loved your videos but I felt like this one was my favourite by far. Possibly because I am entering a similar phase (just graduated last month). I love the feelings of abundance and inspiration that you invoke in this uncertain transitional period. I also loved the way you talked about friendship circles, I think that its such a lovely way to visualise friendships as movements rather than "loss and gains".

Today’s casual magic was a sudden morning rain shower while harvesting lettuce at work 🌿 Also, post-graduation advice: give yourself sooooo much grace. I’m just exactly a full year out and feel like a different person from a year ago. There is so much growth and learning in the year ahead, some of it painful and some of it joyful and often times both! If you have access to a therapist or a mentor, I found it to be so helpful in this year. Peace to you as you finish up; we are all proud of you!

[@UnJadedJade]

Gahhh thank you so much for these thoughtful words 🦋🌱🌸🌻🌷

[@magdaxsto]

I really truly deeply understand when you say that now you just want to go home and ‘process’ what you have been living this past years. I have been twice on Erasmus during my bachelors degree and after my second one, during the last semester of uni, everyone was making plans about what to do after and I just simply couldn’t think about it and decided to go home for some months and rest. This months have been very valuable for me but honestly I also think that they made me weaker and more attached to routine and familiarity than before. This is not necessary a bad thing, but it has been difficult to admit to my self that I no longer feel like the young girl that constantly wants to explore the world and meet people… this type of person is a version of yourself that you get to be when you are alone somewhere and has to force yourself doing things because otherwise you feel like you are not enjoying your time. It is a very complicated argument to express properly and I don’t want to be misunderstood, but I seriously suggest you Jade to at least find ‘a way of escaping’ after a couple of months spent at home, like for example a volunteer project, a trip far away, a short internship away from home… and then you’ll be really able to reflect about the type of life that you want, but moving back home just because you need time to ‘process’ and without a plan could be very dangerous. Take your time, is important, but also be strong and never loose focus on your dreams ✨

[@BeakyPress]

What a great video 🌱🌼🌻 My casual magic for today is going on a walk and seeing everything in bloom after some rain 🌧 I graduated in 2017 On life after graduation: I felt so lost after graduation. School prepares you for basically nothing that comes now. I think allowing yourself to fall into that gap a little, and being able to see it not as failure but as a space for exploration, will help you feel more grounded during this time. The best piece of advice I can give that is not career related: Make time for friends. One of the things people tend to do after graduating is diving deep into their careers, leaving them to put friendships on hold for a while. If you can, try to avoid this. You'll need your friends in adult life even more than during school, but now it will be harder for you all to meet up and make time for each other. Budget money so you can travel to see your friends, remember their birthdays, and come up with ways to celebrate the littlest things, do not let your favorite people become strangers. I feel silly writing this specific piece of advice, since you already run a successful KZbin business and you wrote a book(!) But in case anyone else reads the comments and wants some advice for graduation I'll add it anyways: After graduation you'll have to unlearn a lot of what school found necessary. The companies that will be lucky to have you will not have the time for you like your professors had. They expect you to solve their problems, not explain them how you got there. If that makes sense. The only way to proof you can do the job you accepted, is by doing it, which is so contrary to many school systems that it might take you some time to adjust to that. (I hope internships have prepared you a bit for this!) Find a mentor everywhere you go. Allow the people around you to teach you how to do your job, even if you believe you already know everything. Learn how to identify what you can learn from everyone in the room, even if you believe yourself to be above everyone. Honest compliments and giving your team mates credit for what they did does wonders for your companies' culture.

I'm about to graduate as well from a program called World Bachelor in Business where I studied in Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Milan. watching you go through the ups and downs of studying abroad was beyond helpful in my own journey 💞 i relate with you on long-distance friendships as many in my cohort are from different countries and not headed to the same place as me. I also think your work on education systems is so interesting, with my program you attend different schools in each place so it has been fascinating to see what different systems value as I move around. I am also heading back to my home country (USA) but to a new city (NYC) for my first job! 🌻 my casual magic today was taking a scroll in my street in Milan and reminding myself how lucky I am to live this life. best of luck to you post-grad, you got this 🤝

This is SO EXCITING!! huge well done for graduating

[@massabranca]

🍀🍀🍀As I was watching your video I felt that you're the living testimony of the value of journaling and the clarity it gives to the questions you (and others) ask yourself. I relate to you on many levels even though I'm on the verge of another kind of "graduation" (I'm preparing for my Ph.D. thesis defense in a few months). And although I'm 10 years your senior, I really look up to you and your habit of trying to express clearly your thoughts and feelings in order to avoid taking decisions from a place of fear or haziness. So, if I can give you some advice it is: avoid thinking this is the ONE defining moment of the rest of your life, you'll go through many other chapters by the end of each you'll feel similar to how you feel just now, but with more experience accumulated. Good luck on the final month of Uni and celebrations 🍀🍀🍀

[@UnJadedJade]

This is such incredible advice, thank you

[@Eden_Mesfin]

I can't express how thankful I am that I found your channel last year at the time that I did🤍🤍.I was preparing myself for an internship abroad in London and seeing your videos and your advices on living in a new place, exploring life and making friends really helped me out. And a funny thing is during my internship I actually met someone in your class who was also doing an internship at the time. I am also going to be graduating from uni in a month so this video was also relatable and the timing is just 👌🏾. I plan to move to London on September and I am really excited to see what the future holds for you. 🌿My casual magic today was sitting in my uni compound earlier and just seeing the beautiful nature and trees while it was raining.

Casual magic today 🍀: sitting in the bus back home from a week spent in berlin (I live in the NL) as it starts pour- and pouring down with rain. The last few days it’s been a lovely warm spring temperature, so this feels like a refreshing shower. I loved listening to the sound of the rain clashing on the bus and watching the rain drown the streets. As I get out of the bus, I contently walk the last minutes home getting absolutely soaked in the wet but warm rain (that by the way, enhanced the smell of spring even more) ❤️❤️

[@jennysterg322]

Hi Jade. I’m probably a bit older than your usual demographic at 36, but I love your videos and your energy. I remember being at a crossroads a few months after graduation as to what I wanted to do, as i had the option of a PhD or going into more clinical work with part-time study. There was a period where I was so stressed trying to decide what I wanted to do, as I felt that the two options would take my life down two completely different paths, and I *absolutely* had to make *the right choice* asap. What I realised after is that I should have looked at it as having the luxury of choice - some of my peers only had one option for what to do in life, so the road was set for them, but I had the luxury of having multiple options and the option to decide what was best for me. So if I could go back to my younger self that was stressing about choosing, I’d tell her that. My casual magic this morning was, I’m staying with some old uni friends for a couple of days and their lovely golden lab Emma came to sniff and cuddle with me in bed as soon as I woke up 😃❤️🍀

[@anjaslivevideos4723]

Even though I watched this video long time after you posted it- my magic moment today so far was the kindness of my boyfriend. I am sick and so I had to cancel our plans for today and during the last week we were fighting a lot about stupid things so him being so gentle and understanding today really means so much to me.🌼

[@sarahmitchell3128]

It's been amazing watching you grow over the last few years. Remember you're not alone!! Postgrad life is very different and has it's own challenges but the friends you've made at uni are experiencing the very same thing, even if you're miles away from each other you'll still have that support circle. We can't wait to see what your next chapter holds!!

[@mattperry7949]

Since graduating, I have a group chat with long distance friends where we share our 1 second everyday at the end of each month. Been going for 3 years and it’s a great way to get a 30 secs video update on how your long distance friends are doing 😊

I’m ngl I haven’t really stayed updated on your channel but I used to love your a level videos so much 🥹 It’s my first year in uni and when I got this noti and read the title I just had to click. You helped me get into my dream Uni and really push myself. I’m so happy you’ve come this far and so proud!!!

[@UnJadedJade]

wait this is so so cooool, huge well done for getting into your dream uni!! 🥹 big love

[@Sushi_Vidushi]

AHHHHH CONGRATS JADE!!! 🎉❤ it's a time for you to reflect on and accept all the change with open arms! I still can't believe you're graduating already, it feels like I've grown up with you too. May u have a happy and healthy life❤

[@marialuizadcn]

You inspire me so much! ❤ I love that you’re gonna give yourself time to process all these lives you’ve lived instead of being in a rush to live more and more. Sometimes a break is all we need to find what’s the next step for us. Thanks for being so genuine. Lots of love 💕

my casual magic today was to meet with my former teacher who helped me to get ready for my history exam to enter my dream uni and to catch up just on everything. so inspiring to see how all efforts are paid off in a year of studies. the sun was shining so brightly. and our talk about how being in a hurry leads only to managing to do less.

As someone who found your account from when I was doing my GCSEs and instantly clicked with your amazing personality, its been amazing to watch you grow into who you are today. Funnily enough, I recently came back to the Uk after my summer abroad experience in Seoul, Korea!! and it was amazing. Studying abroad is something i' ve always wanted to do and after not feeling content with both my academic and social standards at my home university, going abroad and meeting people from all over the globe was one of the best decisions that i am grateful to have experienced. I also don't know what I want to do after uni and am just finding enjoyment in pausing and reflecting as I know our younger selves would be so proud of all that has been accomplished by God's grace. Proud of you Jade! continue being you, learning and growing!

Graduated last year. It's hard, there's going to be a few months where it feels like you're losing your mind. But after that period you will feel really positive and grateful for all the good memories you had. Having a career is awesome. It's nice to just work on one thing in a deep capacity as opposed to just being a student, so you have that to look forward to. Something they don't tell you is in the same way you can sort of re-construct yourself when you go to University, you can also re-construct yourself after you leave University. I'm a much more positive and playful person than I was in University, and I'm learning more than ever while working. It is an end, but it's also a new beginning. Hope this helps. Love your videos!

I love hearing you talk about your experience at Minerva. I started watching your videos my junior year of high school, and I remember you talking about minerva in one of your videos. I remember thinking that I, too, wanted to study abroad and learn and travel all throughout my education, but I didn’t get accepted to minerva. However, I ended up attending the college that was my dream school since I was 8, and I found out yesterday that I got into the study abroad program that I’ve been obsessed with getting into for months. Watching this video is kind of reminding me how full circle I’ve come, and also made me realize how much your videos have shaped my thoughts on education and life in general. So.. thanks for everything! :)

[@sophiaschmid3476]

Casual Magic of the day 🌱 finding my old diary from when I was eight years old and realizing how much I miss being in nature every day Thank you for this lovely video!

[@shrubby8967]

Thats so beautiful!

[@marievermeiren8257]

My casual magic of the day was on the busride home, while i was sunk away in my own thoughts, a little Girl left the bus and waved to the bus driver with the biggest smile I've seen today. such a simple thing, but it brought me back to the present and suddenly I found myself smiling and being flooded with a feeling of gratitude and love. 🍀

[@sitavdm]

I’ve been following you since before you started at Minerva and all this time, you have been one of my biggest inspirations Jade

[@arabella4986]

Congrats on graduating Jade!! Your passion for learning and inspiring way of looking at life just radiates from you

[@Anna-mo6sx]

It is just insane how fast time has passed🤯 I'm so proud of you Jade, you have worked so so hard!! Please remember to be proud of yourself too and take some time to rest🫶🏻🌞My casual magic of the day was having ice cream with my family and enjoying the beautiful sunny weather🍦💛

[@UnJadedJade]

it really, really is. thank you so much!! 🥹 i will do my best. rest is one of the skills i'm ready to work on

[@Artandnatureloveeee]

thats the nicest definition of friendship i ever heard

[@sannimaaria1093]

As someone who submitted the last assignment for my Master's degree this week, this video is what I needed to see. Glad to know I'm not the only one worried about...what next?. Congrats Jade!

[@Ohyes440]

I am genuinely so comforted by you Jade, thank you for your amazing thoughtful content.

[@LivvyAlexW]

I’m almost 34. I remember watching you during your study with me days like 5+ years ago. Congrats on graduation! Advice from someone older: just try your best to be happy.

[@isabelpeckett-lopez4353]

My casual magic for today was seeing ethereal, fluffy cotton-like seeds floating around everywhere with golden rays of sunlight streaming on them, they honestly looked like little fairies 🪷 also omg this video has given me so much hope and comfort. I’m on my 2nd gap year rn and feel a lil lost, but you’ve reminded me that there’s just so much possibility and how exciting that is! It’s always nicer to look for the abundance that’s already there rather than always focusing on what isn’t. Thank you sm Jade!! 💖💖

[@UnJadedJade]

oh, oh my. you painted this picture in the most gorgeous way 🥹

[@lolamaria2255]

🌿Casual magic for today: the pink tulips on my desk my mom got me (she's the best) and the beautiful sunshine today( the look out of my window is gorgeous!!) 🌿 love you Jade!

[@milagrosteran2552]

Firstly, congrats on graduating!!! Secondly, casual magic of the day: here at home, is autumn, and today the sky was so clear and blue, the sun was shining, trees yellow and green. Just lovely

[@milagrosteran2552]

🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@abhiraravirala9563]

Hey Jade!🍀 My casual magic for the day is this very moment. I decided to take a detour from my usual path and discovered a lush street with pink blossoms and pine trees with berries that almost look crafted, while I listen to your wonderful journey in this video. The uncanny visuals, the smell of nature, the feel of a cold breeze in summer especially in Texas and your beautiful words in my ears, is etching a smile on my face that I will not forget anytime soon. You are lovely, thank you for sharing your journey with all of us and letting us in for the ride❤️

[@nairak8999]

hey jade, advice from a fellow 23 yr old brit who was rejected from cambridge and I ended up going to another uni for 4 years. I graduated last year and I didn’t get a job straight away but have been working a corporate-ish job (not as intense as banking) for the last few months. I was like you at uni, I absolutely loved every second of it and loved all my friends, I also studied abroad so long distance with some of them now, I loved my degree, studying, environment, I couldn’t find a single fault so graduating was really hard for me so I agree with you, you definitely need a mourning period. I can’t give a lot of advice (someone else feel free to tell me lol) because I’m still grieving uni and it can never be the same as living in that bubble but one things that’s helped me is having hope for creativity and opportunities, now I have a chance to try new things and shape my life how I want it, I haven’t got a set path yet but I have the luxury to be able to try different things and see what sticks!! ❤ 🌱

[@teagalore]

Same here, I think it took me about 2/3 years before I realised I wouldn't be with my flatmates again together. Miss them a lot!

[@emilywebb4905]

What a beautiful video this is. I’ve followed you since we we’re both doing our GCSEs and I am now finishing my masters and relate to you so much. It’s so beautiful to be in this transformative time and I hope you enjoy a restful summer at home❤️

[@kzdia]

we’re in the same school year and i’ve been subscribed since a levels / gcses. i also took a gap year to travel and i’m about to graduate from a four year course too at uni. it’s so cool seeing you go through the same milestones in life!

[@user-jn3zm4lz6k]

I can't thank u enough for posting this video. I'll graduate next month too and I'm TERRIFIED 😢 I know what is it like to be a graduate student but we all in this together Jade ❤ my casual magic today was taking my last midterm in Uni and that made me feel anxious but grateful at the same time 🌿 plz post more about graduation anytime you have something to share about it 🙏

[@moonkhaled1682]

same here :( I just have finished my last practical exams at uni and now getting ready for the last finals and I absolutely can feel the graduation blues from now 😟 so I searched for this video to feel better and inspired..we are all in this together. I hope everything will be more than okay 🤗 thanks Jade for this video 😘

[@user-jn3zm4lz6k]

@@moonkhaled1682 congrats in advance! 🎓🥳 we deserve to celebrate. Hope you do well in your final exams!

[@moonkhaled1682]

@@user-jn3zm4lz6k Yeah you`re right ☺ thank you, congrats for you too🎊

[@Catty9811]

Jade, I was super afraid to finish uni and was loving academia! I decided to go for my master's and now I'm graduating and have a full time job and can definitely say I'm not longer scared, just excited to be independent and on my feet and be able to do what I want, no deadlines!

[@nallurmanasaramesh88]

Casual magic ❤There was an absolutely stunning sunset today. It’s been raining every evening for a week now, and today is the first sunset I have seen in a long time, and it was the most perfect golden hour🍃

[@kaidy4673]

Something making me incredibly happy with upcoming summer is the colors of nature, the way sun lights up the grass and it has this magical green color and the sky is so magnificently blue. Thank you for your videos🌷🌱

[@laurenrobertson-towner1071]

my casual magic today was that I shared with one of my uni tutors (who is Korean) that I am going on exchange to South Korea next semester!! her reaction made me feel so incredibly supported and excited, and Jade, I also 10000% have you to thank for initially planting the exchange inspiration in my head a couple of years ago :) I will be thinking of you and your wise words whilst I am preparing to leave over the next couple of months ❤❤

[@gororok]

I absolutely love the idea of intentionally taking a mourning period after an emotionally intense stage in life. Very helpful!

[@smizzie__]

In my experience, I needed to massively relax after I graduated. I finished my undergrad in 2021, and after the stress of Covid, I just needed a break. I moved back to my hometown (ironically, Oxford) and worked a waitressing job for a year before undertaking a PGCE.

[@ashwinadeenanath4072]

your comment about seeing the world as a place of abundance rather than scarcity is my casual magic of today :) ive felt the pressure of finding a job straight after uni because of financial and visa situation and it really sucked! I ended up not being able to handle the pressure of a stressful graduate job in the city straight after the pressure of final uni year and got fired at my first job and had to return home. So good call on resting and processing before making the next move Jade!

[@angelicajessicagomes2002]

I started watching your videos when I was in High School. I had taken up the Science stream but did not end up enjoying, or being good at most of it despite my efforts. I remember making those flashcards for organic chemistry and biology (though I didn't look at them much later ;p). In all these years I have come a long way too, found myself a little bit more and things that I'm good it. I am graduating with a Sociology major from my dream college in about a month as well, and will be doing my Masters in the same as well. The plan is to move out of the city (I'm from India), but am definitely scared to leave so much behind. Growing up is scary for sure, but comes with so much more control and awareness over ourselves and our journeys (of course keeping count of a lot of privileges here) I thank you you for being a part of mine! All the best to you and everyone else who is graduating college this year! I hope we learn and grow much more during the coming years! ❤

[@oliverwilliams5113]

I found it beautiful that, now exams are over, I was able to sit in the garden, and read a few pages from a book, with the sunshine hitting the pages, and my skin. I felt hopeful, and excited for things to come 🍀🌱

[@aceisekhangura7469]

Thank you for being so open and honest about your life, you really are an inspiration. My casual magic for today was feeding chickens with my friend .🌿

[@UnJadedJade]

thank you for being here 🌱💐💌 eeeep chickens!!

[@helenfordyce414]

with the amount of work that you've done in uni you're deserving of so much more than a bachelors!! I mean teaching a mf class about your dissertation??? that's masters level to me

[@jasmeetkaurkukreja15]

It's so beautiful to see you come so far. You really do show that it doesn't have to be a painful process if you are mindful. Also you left the juiciest part out😂!

[@freyatewnion241]

I absolutely love the way you think about friendships, and wish I could have put the same amount of thought into mine sooner. Having a conversation with a friend when things are changing is so important, and it took me too long to find that out! My casual magic for today (love that phrase!) would be sitting outside at lunch and just enjoying the sunshine

[@luluzila]

The best part of my day so far is starting to feel better after my new treatment 🌵 congrats on your graduation queen👑!

[@kakyoinnoriaki2596]

My casual magic todays was just waking a little after getting off of school and seeing the beautiful neighborhood next to my school and just noticing the nature, like the gardens and trees around the houses was just amazing and it was truly casual magic

[@anettetraus6458]

casual magic- seeing my plants grow- i have quite a bit of plants and a lot of them are huge- but as I have been away at uni my mom has been taking care of them mostly, so it was nice today to walk around my room and see how all of them have grown bigger with new leaves and so on.🌻🌵

[@Catisthebestt]

We're graduating together!! I followed your videos through my entire college career and they helped me a lot when it came to finding motivation and knowing why I was doing it. Wishing you all the best!

[@sophie666]

I loved this video Jade 🌱everytime I watch these kinds of videos I'm amazed at how much you have grown. It's true, I don't know you personally but I still feel through these videos that I, or anyone really, have so much to learn from you! Thank you for sharing your insights and making youtube videos :)

[@UnJadedJade]

gahhh this is too lovely, thank you 🥹💐🌱

[@fridamadrid3056]

honestly this video is my casual magic, lately i've been struggling with feeling derailed from the things that are most important to me in life, because i got lost in this constant attempt to fit in with people who have priorities so different to mine i just lost my focus. but everything you said makes me feel like now i can accept it and start to move forward in a way that makes me happy and fulfilled with the way i live life 🍃
