Who else is struggling with motivation? :(

[@ellawilliams983]

xolana meeee there’s so much I want to do but I just can’t get myself to do it

[@wellwhoknows9567]

Mee

[@swiftie07swift35]

I was supposed to attend a summer programme give all of tests and it all got cancelled so I don’t even know how I’m going to apply this October

[@ellawilliams983]

swiftie 07 swift aaa no that’s so horrible for you!

[@megastar3740]

Yep. Hang in there x we are all in the same boat.

[@mollyk2654]

And completely agree you re. The privilege thing, I’m lucky enough to have a desk, a MacBook (honestly changed my academic life getting this Mac), my own room and a printer in said room (it’s my whole families but no one else really needs it). The poor kids who are currently at home, having to do work on their phones etc :(

[@mollyk2654]

Dolapo it’s more expensive than my previous laptops so no doubt there’s better than macs, but the genuine speed and quality of it is undeniable

[@gsouthgate258]

I’m sat here somewhat thriving on online school, it’s so much better for me... I feel like a special case lmaooo

[@miarong9400]

G Southgate same introverts are thriving

[@mmistletoe10]

[@mollyelton9427]

Honestly I'm loving online school too. Real school was always stressful

[@alexischatterley5889]

Why is your reaction to the translation literally me everytime I turn to section C of a french reading listening and translation mock paper ? We love a relatable queen and I hope you are looking after yourself

[@evabailey6068]

Fat mooooood, Section C really does make or break you lmao

That was so me 😂 I thought well I might as well drop out now 😂

as an A level student who won’t be doing her exams anymore it’s nice hearing Spanish again lol

[@sophiewright7776]

ellie what r ur final grades based off? curious from canada

[@sophiewright7776]

Fraser M oh that’s alright then? we still have our ap exams they’re just online

[@ellie-ng6nr]

Sophie Wright teacher assessed grades! I need A*AA so as long as my teachers think I would have achieved those grades and put those down for me I’ll get into my first choice university :)

[@sophiewright7776]

ellie good luck! what uni’s your top choice? I got an offer from Durham Uni so i hope international travel is up and running by the fall 🤞🏻

[@ellie-ng6nr]

Sophie Wright ahh I live near durham it’s a great place and university!!!! my first choice is cambridge!

As a lang student, I really loved how much lesson/speaking content you had in this video!!

[@neenasanjay3399]

Hey Eve. I've heard you talking about your noisy house and how hard it may be to work. do you have noise cancelling earphones. If not I've heard that they are really useful. Obviously you can't use them during Online uni sometimes. But I wanted to suggest that. Stay safe my gurl!!

[@blinky28890]

Neena Sanjay awww that's such a lovely suggestion!

[@neenasanjay3399]

[@aylennarbaes]

Eve, Argentina is doing a LOT better than Spain cause we started lockdown with only 128 cases and 3 deaths. After over a month of quarantine we only have 214 deaths I think. So even if they're no flights, clubs, etc. for September, for March next year is going to be ok *touch wood*

[@HouteNyloc]

But then again might not be testing enough so not enough data to even compare to Spain. At least that's what's happening with Brazil =/

[@samanthaf9224]

I can’t lie I love your channel so much and I think it’s because I’ve matured and I can appreciate the discussion of politics which I couldn’t a few years ago ❤️

[@rebeccanicolecabrera]

Love how you acknowledge everyones unique situation in terms of working from home 👏💕

[@carlamessinger692]

I read your article about the issue of space and it really resonated with me. So often I find myself comparing my living space & family to others which has often put me in a low mood. But like you say in the video it's important to remember the positives and I try to remember all the things I am really grateful for! I hope you and the people you love are doing ok x

[@charlottegrayson1265]

as someone who goes to the open university and so all my classes are already online i am finding it really interesting how much people seem to be struggling with adapting when i really enjoy it! i hope you all manage to get through it x

[@trnzey]

please do more of these kind of videos it's really motivating to watch Eve

[@beckyjane1806]

Who would’ve thought this is how you’d spend your second year of uni? Remember when you got accepted into Oxford? This definitely wasn’t what you signed up for! Crazy x

[@RevisionWithEve]

i know :(

"I'm going to get a solid 40 on this" is my first year in a nutshell😂👏 That's a really interesting point about the NHS not being a charity. We need to contribute to non profit organisations and charities so they can keep afloat and help people directly! The NHS can be a bit of a bottomless pit. I'd love to read what you've written🙏You've inspired me to look into getting involved in a uni magazine/blog :) Hope you're keeping well.

this is so motivating i needed this thank you 💗

Your piano playing sounds beautiful 💕

[@charlotteerika2455]

Tip- if your room is too dark, but a SAD light off Amazon , pop it on during “awake “ hours and turn it off in the late afternoon before you wind down.works a treat and helps regulate your sleep pattern :)

[@jessiewoo12]

Eve trying to do the translation for her mock exam is actually a mood omg 😭😭

[@shesthunderstormsx]

Tu español es bastante bueno!! 👏👏 soy consciente de que no es nada fácil aprender español y doy gracias por que sea mi lengua materna 😂💓 I completely agree with you about not having to physically get to class because I live an our away in train from my uni so if there's something I'm saving is time and bc of that I'm gaining a lot of hours of sleep. And although this way classes are kind of comfier they seem to bore me so much more 😐 Also the sad part is that here in Spain we're are not allowed to go outside for walks 😢 hopefully we will be able to do so next week 🤞 take care! ❤

[@mzeroual6715]

IM DONE ... the part where you talked about your translation 😭😭😂

hahahahaha so true

[@swymaj02]

What's ur experience with Teams like? Cos it's a bit of a heckle in my class.

[@AleighaNicole]

I remember in school I had to have allllll the news apps on my phone... Journalism & Mass Comm major!

[@mollyelton9427]

I personally love Microst Teams as I have been on it for a month. I love the mirror screen aspect and being able to see a teacher mark my essay. Doing English A levels from home sucks.

[@katiemccarthy300]

Hey Eve! I would love to see a video on how you have been able to learn about/collect work experience in Journalism. It's only recently dawned on me that this is the career path I would like to take, but I'm now in a bit of a panic because I have no experience whatsoever!

Could you please talk more about your like journey at the newspaper? I'm from Germany, starting uni in October here and I would love to go into journalism later. I would find it really interesting if you could talk about if it's a course or a club, if it's comparable to Gilmore girls.... Love Hannah

Hey Eve we're the same age and I'm also a languages student (French, Spanish and Italian specialising in Spanish and meant to be spending my year abroad in Argentina). Just to warn you my university has cancelled all years abroad and has offered us the option of transferring to a three year degree or doing the year abroad in year 4 and taking final year modules and all that in year 3 instead. I assume most if not all universities will do the same
