Even if you buy or sell Charis within 6 months, it’s no one else’s business. You should be able to do whatever you want without having to defend yourself. This doesn't hurt anyone *gtdupe*

i'm a pretty shy person, so i rarely comment on youtube videos, but you've been my comfort youtuber for years now. at the time that i started watching your videos, i was in a pretty dark place. i'm lucky and so incredibly proud to have made it through, and it's crazy to think that i'm now going into my sophomore year at college! you're a ray of sunshine and truly seem like such a genuine person. thank you for being part of my journey for the past few years -- and here's to many more amazing years to come! 🌸❤

[@ellawalsh9972]

As an 18-year-old who is just starting uni your videos have been such a comfort, always making me feel secure and not as scared to start studying! I've been watching you since your early highschool years and being able to see you grow into a confident person through the years makes me feel more secure entering a new era in my life, I feel like it'll all be alright c:

[@valeriesanchez811]

when a rising freshman in hs i would EAT UP back to school vids, just hiding in my sheets watching kids that were way “older” than me share their stationery and essentials at 2 am. being a freshman in college now is definitely a bittersweet feeling, leaving my childhood behind, but I am so looking forward to this chapter of my life and really discovering who I am and exploring my future career. i remember your move in vlog when entered uni and that same feeling of excitement bubbles up my chest again. i really hope to keep this little parasocial friendship going and keep seeing the both of us grow! :)

[@GirlLiverpool]

Hi! I am 30 years old, I'm from Colombia, I've followed you since you re decorated your room back home with a fall, leaves,sort of theme and then your vlogs going thrifthing with your friends back home. I'm now starting a bussiness, after being a teacher for ten years, I also graduated when I was 22 and I dind finish my masters until I was 28-29 years old, so don't worry, you have time. Now I'm starting a online gallery shop, to sell art from local colombian contemporary art, that is what I looking forward this year. I love your taste in art, and style, and the fact that you are also in to music. Is so amazing to see you come this far. Congratulations and all the best always.

[@apageofcomfort]

i finished my masters degree in januar of this year and the best thing for me about postgrad life really is having actual freetime after work. during my studies there was always something else to do and it never felt like i was finished and could enjoy my freetime. now on my weekends or after work i really get to enjoy that time and it's truly priceless. i found your channel while you were still in highschool and it's been the best to make this journey with you. 🌻

[@princess.ponyoyo]

Why am i actually sobbing at this video LMAOO LIKE I CANT BELIEVE HOW OLD WE'VE GROWN 😭😭😭 I remember watching you for the first time ages ago and wanting to literally become like you☹️☹️ my baby self was obsessed and honestly I still am?? You feel more like a friend than a KZbinr to me- this channel's such a nostalgic comfort space for me at this point. I can't believe I was a little kid when I first stumbled upon your channel and now I'm nearly a full grown adult, heading to college in less than a year. Im anxious, scared, uncertain,, BUT ITS ALSO EXHILIRATING !!! and seeing your life as an adult really eases my anxiety.. makes me more excited and less afraid, yknow? Anyway I know this'll probably get lost in the sea of comments here but I just wanted to thank you. You and your videos were there for me when nothing else really was.. when I had no hope and was struggling with the pain of grief and depression.. and I don't think you fully realise just how much you've impacted my life. Thank you Linh, for everything 🩵🌸

I STILL CANT BELIEVE I GOT IN!! its crazy, i started watching you when i was in 8th grade and now i'm gonna go to collage!! time sure flys by fast. I watched your videos religiously before my med-exam to reduce my anxiety of the exam, so this feels like a full circle moment :DDD my collage (OMG MEDSCHOOL) starts soon!! and i just turned 18!! its crazy how im like an adult now ??? like wow. anyways, THANKYOU FOR MAKING ALL THESE VIDEOS FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, they put a smile on my face everytime i watch them :))))

my uni starts in a month and i'm sincerely so so so excited to be going back eeek :,) and it's crazy because never in my life did i imagine i'd be so pumped rather than burnt out. every summer growing up was just kind of heavy and i always felt like i could never really stop myself from feeling burnt out all the time. but i've made the sweetest, kindest and warmest friends i've ever known in uni and they brought the life back into me :,) so grateful i have them and got to finally know the feeling of real friendship. thank u for the giveaway linh, it's rly so generous of u

I always found your vlogs so aesthetically pleasing... Like the colours and everything just calms my soul. I can't believe that it's been 4 years since your last what's in my bag...

I'm on my last senior year in college and it is such an honor to be able to witness your journey with your school/college life! I've always look forward to your post like you're a close friend from far away where you catch us up with your stories. Can't wait for your future videos as I go through my last year in college 🫂💖 It's a little terrifying as we venture up into adulthood but now it isn't as much intimidating than it was then, especially that I get to watch you and I realized that the things I feel and the sudden worries and breakdowns is normal especially at this stage of our life. Thank you so much for doing what you do 🫶 and I know everyone who has been a fan appreciates and is grateful to have you as a role model, an inspiration and a friend 💖

[@beatrizvanzeto6777]

Similar to you, I have also just moved. I turned 28 in June and decided that life was boring as it was. This last month has been a rollercoaster! I recently moved from Brazil to Portugal with my girlfriend, and I’ve started a new chapter working at a school here, teaching kids online. I loved my old job, but I was ready to embrace new experiences and challenges. The transition has been crazy, but I’m feeling happy and excited about this new adventure.

[@seyima]

as someone who is entering adulthood (or is already there) i'm still afraid of what the future holds for me. when i was a child i would never have imagined what my life would be like when i got older, and now i'm in the years i wanted to discover. i think the fear and anxiety of the unknown never really leaves us, but we can learn to control our emotions. it's also exciting and beautiful to grow old together with the people i've watched for a long time and it proves how fast time flies. we've improved and learned a lot together and that makes me emotional. i wish all the people who read this a happy year. let's enjoy the joy of youth. may your path be full of flowers 🌸🤍

[@m.g.5073]

It's over 10 years for me now since college, and it feels nostalgic to see young folks starting their adulthood careers now. Good luck to everyone starting their adult life and everyone still in school! There will be many more ups and downs, but life is all about learning to ride the waves.

[@the_big-baobab]

I'm going in my last year of high school in France. I am very worried but super excited to see my friends everyday, getting to learn new things and participating in new projects and clubs. I look forward to those little moments of life, cherishing them before they slip through my fingers. After that, I won't get to see my friends so often anymore, so I really gotta love every moment of the year to come. Life doesn't wait, I will do everything I want, love everyone and promise to smile everyday.

[@jaycleoo]

as someone who is currently a senior in college, I am feeling wistful at the fact that I am graduating soon.. watching Linh's videos give me a semblance of what my post-grad situation would be. Adulting is a daunting topic to address, but seeing Linh traverse the uncertainty of adulthood and post-grad life gives me a sense of security despite the uncertainty. I love love LOVE watching vlogs about adulthood since I'm still learning the throes behind it, and Linh's vlogs is a perfect example. Good luck on your future endeavors, Linh :'>>

[@semiraarora4934]

Linh!! I’ve been watching you since you were in high school (my middle school) and now im a senior in high school since this last week! My brother and I love watching your videos together so thank you for creating that experience. I’m looking forward to all the fun bonding events like senior sunrise, but also getting into college and graduating! Maybe I’ll have my own postgrad crisis a few years early. Thank you for all you do in your corner of the Internet 🫶🫶

[@ephemeralmaple]

ahhh my comfort youtuber posted !!! i cant believe im finishing high school, just as you finished college bc i feel like it was only yesterday that i started watching ur videos but it’s been two years already! im in my last year of school, and i start uni in a year and im sooo excited for it :D here’s to growing alongside you (and i suppose all these other lovely people who are here alongside me!)

[@hellonimo]

Sometimes it feels like your life is stuffed in your backpack, i always bring everything and a little bit more just because you never know when you or someone else need something! Ive been a unistudent for four years now, lifes been all over the place and even if im scared of what the next chapter will be i found a lot of comfort in your videos and seeing life will be just fine without school. Thank you for sharing so much of you to all of us strangers around the world!

[@sofia50714s]

Hiii Linh, my name is Sofia, i'm 18 years old and I'm from Brazil, I started following you when I was graduating from high school, the moment I found you on KZbin I immediately loved your video aesthetic and how I somehow felt so close to you, seeing how you dealt with academic life, I found the courage to pursue the area that I really dreamed of, which is visual arts, I'm currently in art school and going into my second semester now! I am very happy to have been able to grow with you, want to thank you for being this authentic and sweet person that you are in your videos, your channel has become a great comfort and motivation for my current academic life, I wish you all the best the world can provide for you and hop there are many videos to come!

[@Emma-ng8gd]

annabelle was my other comfort youtuber all through highschool, how perfect. now that i'm post grad from my theatre production degree, im looking forward to going on tourrrrr. it'll be my first time going on tour, and its with people i really love working with. taking theatre and ballet and art to smaller regional communities is gonna be amazing

[@anaellerenard9004]

I am so happy to see a video of yours about this topic even after you graduated! I don't know how different the education system is in my country compared to the us but i finished high school three years ago and just got my first post grad diploma. I am enrolled for 3 more years and i am planning on continuing my study afterwards. The only thing I can think about for the year to come is how stressed i am about meeting new people and being in a new school. It kinda makes me feel like a child again, in a twisted nostalgic way: every time i get in a new school i get really stressed. But when i get really stressed about something i usually turn to your videos, or at least i have for the past few years! I am a little bit proud to say that i am a pretty old fan of yours, I actually remember pretty vividly watching your summer lookbook from 5 years ago after a bad day. It cheered me up a lot at the time and it is a reason why i like fashion so much to this day. This video made me look up to you as it is a video i would have liked to make on my own, but never actually got to do it (even to this day). While i might sound really pessimistic in my comment id like to say im also suuuper excited about the learning part! I love learning so much and i would like to get a phd someday! (yeay) Also for everyone who is in the same situation as me, every time back to school season gets closer, i can tell you that it will go well with the people, you will make friends, even if it takes time!! the people that are the closest to me now are people from my school, and sometimes, i knew them for a long time before becoming friends with them! so don't fear meeting new people and getting to know other people!! My stress (and maybe yours) can be seen as a good thing! It lets you prepare the meeting part and makes it manageable in the moment you will actually meet them! So good luck everyone for the year to come!

[@sarahchoi2135]

linh!! it was such a pleasure to grow up with you 😭😭 i cant believe we’re so old now 😭 Im entering my junior year of university and it was absolutely amazing to have you growing up and learning before me, giving me advice and motivation and companionship through your youtube channel. You were such a big part of my coming of age and I’m sure you will have an equally large impact on my adulthood as well. You always thank us for our support but the same goes out to you!! Thank you for being the best life role model I could have ever dreamt of stumbling upon in my teenage years!!!

[@ayushiextended1414]

As someone who finds a lot of comfort in these beautifully filmed, beautifully, edited videos I just want to say, that I enjoying growing up alongside you. And, it’s been a very fun journey to watch us both develop so differently!

[@lolololololac]

Hi Linh! i have been watching your videos for about 4 years now:)! I am entering my final semester at junior college before transfering to a 4 year university! the reason i chose to to initially go to a community/junior college first instead of a 4 year right away was because i did and still live at home with my parents. I am caregiver for my brother who is non verbal, and I do a lot of the house work for my mom while she is working. It's been a hard couple of years learning how to balance work,school and home life but it has come with it's blessings. I took a year break in between my years and ended up switching majors from theatre to psychology. It's been a long journey but it is paying off in the long run:)I started a new job to help start saving more money for that big transition. I Just started this week and have already been emotional over it being my last semester before transferring. it's a major stepping stone in my life and I am so proud of myself for continuously pushing myself! So to anyone else making any big transitions this season in your life YOU GOT THIS KEEP GOING!!

[@carolinaesparza1861]

as a young adult, coming back watching these what's in my bag videos feels so comfort just like home. I'm currently working in an office and it been a huge change cuz i miss college, like life was so easer back then and i think that i didn't appreciate it that much. So now i'am looking for job that i like so that i can start enjoying these part of my life. I'am always enjoying your videos linh love you 🫰

[@whimsyandme]

girl, i'm so proud of you. yeah, we have been with you through the years and we're excited for the things we'll be reaching soon. but you know what? still, by the end of the day, we'll all be okay. we'll all be looking forward to our journeys together! documenting our little life, new chapters, big changes, and just hustling through life. as long as we have family, friends, pets, and the big Father up there, we'll all be okay. ✨

Good luck on your move and thank you for always giving back to your community ♡

[@arc_ww0472]

I don't know but how do you get the confidence, how do you proudly present the things that you love? how about embarrassment? judgements? ridicule? how can you be so firm and unswayed when there is a higher possibility that others will laugh or ignore you? dictate you? it's annoying and comforting at the same time when you show a clip of your past self, you've grown wiser, yet you never deny the silly past version of you, it's humbling, beautiful, and so healthy as you treat them not like a mistake but a mere truth that we will outgrow them and there's nothing to feel ashamed about and that they deserve compassion and kindness and sometimes credits for all that we have achieved. I'll be a freshman in college this September, and I'm just a little bit afraid to stand up for myself and stay firm in what I believe, the thoughts keep on repeat: what if I'm embarrassing? ridiculous? I'll be judged, laughed at, or worse, be ignored. (I'm fine dw! it's part of being a human, I'm just seeking wiser answers to all those questions. AND YOUR VIDEOS ARE LOVELY, I REALLY LOVE THEM, SORRY FOR THIS COMMENT IF IT IS UNCOMEFORTABLE (I don't feel this sounds kind, buit i really wanted it to sounds kind T T, my english is bad too) (and if I ask the wrong questions, or I sounded sillier than ever, it'll probably haunt me for some time, but yeah, I tried anyway). AND I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS, ESPECIALLY THIS ONE, I'M ALSO THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO BRINGS EVERYTHING HE NEEDS, WHICH LITERALLY EVERYTHING HE CAN TOUCH AND SEE IN HIS BEDROOM T - T I REMEMBER ONCE WHEN WE HAVE AN EXAM AND THERE'S NO NEED TO BRING ANYTHING OTHER THAN A PEN, AND YET THERE I WAS, CARRYING MY ENTIRE HOME (better be prepared~) ALSO, MY BACK HURTS SO BAD THE ENTIRE VACATION

[@keeleyalinemorgan]

this video just reminded me how much i miss "whats in my bag" videos. I am so obsessed with this. BUT, i just wanted to say i have also grown up with you and your channel and am also a spring 2024 college grad! so congrats! this transition into the professional world has been so intimidating and scary BUT it has also been so fulfilling and exciting at the same time. my degree is in musical theatre and i was incredibly lucky to secure a professional theatre contract that started 6 DAYS after my graduation. so i literally graduated and 2 days later moved 10 hours away to live in a completely different state for 10 months. the imposter syndrome has been REAL but also the growth i have experienced in myself as a performer but also just as a person in small things such as discovering who i really am on my own and what kind of style i like and other areas of adulthood i hadn't really tapped into before has been so encouraging for this next phase of life and has brought me so much joy and hope for what is to come!

[@caramelgirl356]

HIII LIINNHH! I am a 20 year old college student going into my Junior year. I am a women in stem 💪💪 and aspire to become a UX designer. I've been watching you since I was in high school and it's beautiful to see how much we all have changed. Seeing the clip of your high school self brought me to admire how far I have come since high school. My 14-17 yr old self was definently a shell of a person. I was very insecure, scared of the world, and never pushed myself to try new things. After a brutal breakup, I didn't know how I would fair in college. Now, I am single (on purpose), a gym-rat, and a person who loves to meet new people and put myself out their. I have learned to love myself and finally make decisions for myself even if it puts me out of my comfort zone. I have never loved life more! HERES TO MORE GROWTH AND LOVE COMING OUR WAY❤❤❤❤ Love, Jo

i'm currently a 4th yr archi student in the ph (which makes me sad a lot since archi is 5 years) and all my friends are graduating this school year!! it makes me feel so so so happy for them but it also makes me feel kinda (?) sad. it's kinda scary knowing that you still have a lot ahead of you and feeling like you're a step behind from people your own age so im currently in that negative head space rn (trying to get out of it though!!) anw i've been feeling kinda accomplished too since i'm definitely seeing progress in my works!! if first year me saw the works i've been producing recently, she would definitely not believe it. anw, you have always been a comfort youtuber for me since you have always been unapologetic about being yourself!! you have always made me feel comfortable in my own body and in my own identity!! i hope you keep showing us a glimpse of your life

linh!! I've been watching you since I started high school, and I just graduated this summer!! I had the hardest sixth form experience (last 2 years of high school in england) and almost didn't make it through my exams after having been an over-achieving top student for 7 years (can you tell I'm asian). Your videos have always been a comfort in my darkest times and I'm so proud because I managed to get into my first choice university to study english literature and I'm heading there in September! Your channel and videos have helped me feel unabashed queer joy and pride in my unusual and fun interests, and I hope I continue to embrace this side of myself when meeting new people at university! This year I overcame so many challenges, including being more open about my mental health struggles with the people I love and you really inspired this in me! My future at university is daunting but I'm so excited! Thank you for everything!!

[@elizeli9146]

hii linh! i’m 18, turning 19 in a little less than 2 weeks, and i’m also going into my second year of university as a sociology student! i’ve been feeling pretty down for a while now due to academics, work, and other personal issues, so i’m trying to watch “back-to-school-esque” videos to bring some excitement and motivation back before school starts! i’ve been watching you since i was in middle school and youve always been an inspiration aesthetically and how you carry yourself! you’re comportment gives me comfort that despite the ups and downs, areas of uncertainties, and opportunities for growth in adulthood- and life in general, are not things to be apprehensive about, but something we should embrace. i’m excited for what my adult life has in store for me. thank you for always being a great role model (and for always providing me with motivation to be productive hehe)!

I struggled soo hard with my grades last semester TT I'm really looking forward to the whole academic comeback I'll (possibly and hopefully) have. I'm glad I'll see my friends at school again and of course meet new people but what I'm most excited for is trying to work hard and improve myself compared to last years. I loveee watching you and other youtubers who talk about studying and their studies, those who give advice on how to improve urself and the list goes on. You really motivate me to just jump into the new schoolyear and keep growing!!! Also, goodluck to everyone who is going to start continuing their academic adventure currently or pretty soon since september is a bit too close now. I hope you all achieve your goals for this year and grow to be what you hope to be. You can do it!!!

[@vesper328]

ive started my freshman year in college! its my first time moving away from family, and while the homesickness gets bad sometimes, im enjoying these new experiences and opportunities to prove that i can be independent. ive been watching your channel on and off since your first pc setup video, and seeing your occasional life updates are incredibly dopamine inducing to me, like seeing a cousin every few months and catching up whats happened since we last met up

[@Eicheyzediel]

Hey Linh! Just wanted to share how excited I am about this next chapter of my postgrad life. I graduated last year and jumped right back into school (postponing adulthood for as much as i can), and now in just a month, I'll be starting my clinicals! It feels surreal to be so close to applying everything I've learned in a real-world setting. Its both exciting and kind of daunting. Also, I wanted to say thank you for being my comfort KZbinr during all of this-you've helped keep me motivated and inspired through the ups and downs :)

[@titotobi-lawal2083]

Hi Linh and all the sweet people in the comments section on this wholesome corner of the internet. I'm currently a 2nd year law student who just moved across countries halfway through my first year, although I miss where I was before I'm trying to embrace what it's like living back home (Nigeria!) full time for the first time since I was very young. Your videos have been such a comforting and relaxing aspect of my academic life, you were always an escape I could indulge myself in when I got too stressed from assignments. I'm so proud to see how far you've come and that you are graduated, I cannot wait to start my own adult life and career lol

It helped a lot to know someone else going through similar college struggles.

[@mimomoring5005]

i just found your channel at a moment where i’m trying to be more in-tune to life and the little things around me, and your videos have a quality to them that make me happy and that things are gonna be ok!! i can’t really explain it lol. i’m going into my senior year of college and have been constantly worried about what to do after, but i’m learning that the more i stress and put pressure on myself to figure it out, the more difficult it becomes and i end up missing a lot of what’s happening to me now and really enjoying my senior year. also, the more i don’t want to do something, the more i push to do it, because doing things that are hard really open up avenues for me and the world doesn’t feel quite so small. just my thoughts and reflections at the current moment! i hope working life treats you well 🩷

[@bazzystar0.0]

i just turned 21 yesterday (like wow!! adulthood o.o) and it's truly beautiful reflecting back on all of the changes and courses that life has brought me.. to finding comfort in your content throughout highschool to sharing solidarity in starting my 9-5 era, it feels like ive lived so many lifetimes since then.. and there's a warm glow in my heart watching so many grow of us alongside each other :,] i wish i had the words to describe how grateful i am to be inspired by your content, having the drive to embrace all of those growing parts of me through the worries and uncertainties. it gives me so much hope that i too want to shake 15 year me's shoulders and say everythingoes, you'll be okay, you are growing into who you are more and more everyday ! im so excited to tag along in this chapter of your life and what a lovely thing that life goes on

[@studious.ambience]

I'm a uni student from the UK, currently in my 2nd year of nursing which has been tough but worth it! this video definitely bought back some nostalgia in terms of when I first found your channel designing and creating stickers :) "its okay, to not be okay" has stuck with me for the longest time ever, and seeing your style and passion flourish has been really inspiring, keep doing what you're doing because it's genuinely amazing! 🫶 love you!

i found your videos senior year of high school and now i am a senior in college and your videos were always so comforting, relaxing and touching. i turned them on to get me prepared for school and ease any fears or overwhelming feelings i would feel and now to see you fully graduated and touching back on your past videos just makes me very emotional and grateful to have found your channel 🤍🪷🥹 i am now excited to finish out my last year and trying to finish strong (ofc with your videos), it’s a scary world but im also excited to step out and begin “adulthood” !

[@alexherrera8046]

I just started my junior year in hs and youve literally influenced my educational career i now have a decked out notion with colorful notebooks and highlighters for every occasion. ive started classes in plant sciences and am on my way to recieving my BSAF plant certification! youve gotten me through middle school and now 3 years into high school. i remember finding you when covid started and everyone was playing animal crossing and filming da in my life vlogs (covid edition) and graduation in a drive thru. you truly are an inspiration

[@sophiatran8282]

living post grad life for one year now and all i can say is that i love having the time to explore my hobbies and other interests now that i’m out of school :) love your videos linh!

[@louisa2178]

hi linh !!! i'm entering my 2nd year at university, and i've been watching your videos since i was in high school. honestly, you are very inspiring, not only creatively but as a human, and i'm so happy every time you upload a video. i hope this semester (and the rest of my university journey) goes well, and what i look forward to the most is making new friends through classes and learning about things i'm passionate about. i hope new york is treating you well, take care :)

Uni is starting in less than a month and, for the first two weeks, I'll probably only be able to make to literally two classes since I'm still working full-time for the summer. This will be my last year, I'll have spent 5 years in my studies yet I ache to keep learning. Uni has not been what I expected, having a rough start with the pandemic definitely set things off and it has been complicated to fully immerse myself in the college enviroment. Going through college has been a rollercoaster, but I've always been able to watch your videos and feel that I was not alone in this mess, knowing that thousands of people are also going through the motions in this stage of our life, maybe feeling a bit lost like me. Every week your videos motivate me to aim higher and keep working so that I can get better at what I like. As I said before, this summer I've been working full-time. I'm working at a beautiful bookstore surrounded by a team of deeply knowledgeable people, I feel so lucky to be able to learn from them and I will be forever thankful for this opportunity. I'm convinced this will help me in all future endeavors within my field of work and in my academic career!

[@carlotamartins1258]

Hey girl! Life after graduation is such a unique transition period. After leaving college, I realized that adulthood comes with its own set of challenges and new opportunities. It's not always easy to find your path, but I believe it's a time for personal growth and learning. Your experience really encourages me to stay positive and keep moving forward despite the uncertainties. 🌟

[@plantaunt95]

i've been watching your videos for almost 5??? years now, and it's been so cool watching you go from a high schooler to college to now working?? i've always looked up to your vids and absolutely love watching them! as a freshman in college now, it's really comforting watching someone who's already gone through the experience, and i definitely look back on your videos for advice and just for fun :') anyways just thank you for your videos, they bring me so much joy and you're genuinely my favorite creator on youtube!!

[@elachibe]

Comfort youtuber has posted!!! I remember writing a paper about role models in my first year of highschool and writing about you and your channel. Now I've graduated (still can't believe that) and taking a gap year to work in a small bookstore which has been my dream for so many years... and now I get to do it!!! I'm so grateful. Planning on going back to school next fall and study biology at university, but we'll see what this year has in store first

[@hailey_nicole9118]

I am going into my freshman year of college, I am kinda nervus but at the same time I am so ready for this new chapter in my life. I am going to school to be an interior designer. I honestly have watched your videos for years and I love watching your videos while playing video games, doing homework, or cleaning my room. Your videos have gotten me through some hard times but just that back ground noise as motivation to keep going. Thank you so much and never stop creating

[@snehav3813]

Every video you post feels so comforting. As I’m about to start my grad school journey, watching this one really hit me on an emotional level. It’s definitely encouraged and motivated me to pack my bags and get ready for this new chapter. I’m so excited that I’m planning to rewatch all of your videos again-they’re just fueling my excitement for what’s ahead!

[@michelle.474]

Hi Linh! I started my sophomore year of college this month! It's been exiting to start a new chapter of my life and getting a chance to continue my education. It's been such a rollercoaster getting comfortable in an environment where I didn't feel comfortable in. Through your videos, I felt that peace anytime I wanted a place to escape to and feel like myself again. Thank you so much for simply being you; I'm so grateful to my sister introduced me to you videos when I was in high school! 🍄🫧🧸🌸

[@KUSQUii]

I’m a freshman in college who really has no idea what he’s doing. It’s honestly nice to see others struggling but trying anyway lol helps me feel not so alone. I’m most excited to have so much freedom from tough parents and siblings. Excited for what this year will bring me ! :)

[@ismatpremium]

Starting college this year, and I’m super excited but also a little nervous. Just beat body dysmorphia, which was tough, but I’m feeling more confident now. I’ve also started working on a novel, which has been pretty cool! I’ve been watching your videos since 2020, and they always make my day better. Thanks for being such a positive influence! Here’s to new adventures !! Wishing you all the best in life my favorite internet human

[@rebecarguezmelmoth6021]

As a person that has been working for a few years now the "back to schoool era" it's always so nice a refreshing and i usually do a redo of what i carry. This types of videos are always inspiring.

[@woodfrogz]

i remember watching your videos when i was 15, in my sophomore year of high school (which got cut short by the lockdown). i'm 20 now, and going into my junior year of college, and it's so cool to see how you've grown and to look at my own growth!! it's such a weird feeling watching your old videos and remembering who i was at the time, but it's very cool nonetheless. i've got about two more back-to-schools left, and i'm trying to enjoy the excitement while it lasts :-) i'm super excited this year because i finally switched to a major that i really like (studio art- i want to be an art teacher!) and going back seems even more fun knowing all the cool classes i have lined up for this next semester. thank you so much for sharing your life with us, you are such a spark of inspiration :D

[@tungt1ed]

I'm currently a senior in university and will be a grad Psychology student! Ever since I was in middle school, I've wanted to be a psychiatrist so I could help people like those that have helped me. Time goes by so fast, it's so nerve-racking to think I'm so close to my dream career. I've been watching your videos since I was a freshman in high-school, I especially loved your videos about academics, whether it be your school supply hauls or your experiences during finals week. It's such an honor to be able to keep up with your academic journey, you always inspired me to keep on working towards what I want, and your videos helped me when I was at the lowest point of my life, in which I just wanted to drop out, and settle for a mediocre job for the rest of my life. Thank you for pushing through and being the strong, independent and hard-working person that you are!

[@yolo4800]

as someone who is in college trying to graduate this year, back to school has been pretty nerve racking. I have no idea what to do after grad and it seems like everyone around me knows what their life is gonna look like for them. everything is changing (hopefully for the best) but its nice to see that m excitement for back to school videos stay the same. lets have another great year everybody!

[@lavacake4182]

Im a lil bit younger than you, but i found your content through a rough patch and you are def my #1 comfort youtuber and your videos always brighten my day :) watching them has made me feel better about growing up

[@AzizzKhirallah]

you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !

[@sofiapanasiuk157]

hi linh! your videos always seem to find me when i need a good hug, so thank you for creating them. idk how to phrase it in american terms well, but i’ve done a bachelor and now i’m preparing to do another one, this time in a different subject/field + in a different country and language and culture. although it’s certainly daunting, one thing i feel right now is determination: i’m not exactly worried about not getting in or failing in any way. i just know that i want this and if i fail i’ll… try again?? revolutionary, i know. but, seeing as i have figured it out only now, i wish to share this determination with everyone here. no matter what you do - you’ve got this!!!! i believe in you!!!

[@limabean9228]

hi linh!! i've been watching your videos since high school (class of 2020!) i was supposed to graduate college this spring but i got cancer so i had to drop out for now, and now im just doing various crafts (drawing, crochet, knitting, linocut, natural plant dyeing, writing letters) while in treatment. your vlogs give me so much comfort and good vibes, as well as much needed motivation for cleaning my room.

[@ajaymistry6738]

Currently, I am working my first year of full-time work! I finished university last year and am now working as a software engineer. Honestly working full time is a very different experience... I am really enjoying my job but I also feel this sense of fear or lack of control for what is to come. I think since I have been going to school for so long I haven't had much of a chance to think about other aspects of my life and what else I want to do or achieve outside of work. I really resonated with one of your previous videos when you were talking about hobbies and how important it is to maintain so I've been trying to get back into the things I used to love but also trying out new things. I'm interested to see what's to come! Lots of love from New Zealand!

[@beebeemh]

I'm about a year out of uni (eeep!!) going into my second job, one that I've worked so hard my entire school/early work life to get to - it's honestly surreal! definitely wish I'd taken time off, burn out it so real + the panic of finding places to live and affording a move, but I've found adulting is just feeling the fear/stress and doing it anyway... it still feels like back to school season and watching your vids always bring me such comfort and nostalgia

[@dharmathenature3509]

I find videos like these of what people have in their bags incredibly inspiring. A little insight into their personality. My bag is next level. I'm over 30 and actually only use a small travel backpack as an everyday bag. The main thing is that it's comfortable and practical. But with lots of pendants and buttons. I like it colorful like you. I also have a number of small pockets to keep everything neat and tidy. I would never use shoulder bags like yours because they're uncomfortable😂 💚💚💚

[@melsdi0p]

I've been a professional girlie for 10 years now and I still get excited over new stationery and packing my bag whenever I start something new. You're my fav content creator ever Linh and I'm so happy to watch you grow 💖💖💖

[@marisolmanriquez8215]

linh! i love that you're continuing the tradition of what's in my bag videos, i can't believe it has already been 4 years omg i'm also turning 23 in a couple of months and just graduated college and it feels so weird and so exciting to be able to say that i'm a engineer! i started watching your videos when i (we) was in high school and i kinda feel we've grown up together :,) and now i'm starting a PhD program and feeling very adult. i'm so excited for your new new york girl era and your new apartment!

[@ashoomo]

i can't believe ive been watching you for basically 4 years now!! from a nervous highschooler in the pandemic to now entering my junior year of uni (still very nervous), it's been amazing seeing you continue to grow and growing alongside you! I'm very grateful to know that despite how much I've grown, I can still hold onto the people and things from my childhood/teenage years that have shaped me into the person I am today (like this channel!). I'm actually transferring this year so I'm both so nervous but extremely excited to explore my new school and enter this new chapter of my life!! Thank you for being such an inspiration to me and so many others, and I'm wishing everybody reading this who may be navigating adulthood the very best! love ya!! 🫂💕

[@sweetmelon64]

Hi Linh! I graduated High school in 2020 and decided not to continue my education bc I struggled with high anxiety/depression and had much difficulty with online school. However, I have been thinking about going back and am currently registered to an accounting program at my community college! I’ve felt a bit of imposter syndrome, but I know that I have the ability to do this!! And after this program I wish to still continue my education even further! I also want to say congratulations on your graduation and move to New York! Can’t wait to see more of your videos 💖

[@jimenarejon6606]

Linh we are the same age and sort of always going through the same phases, when you took a gap year I went to France to study abroad, when you started your channel with thrifting I had just discovered thrifting in Mexico! I've always kept you close to my heart like my internet bestie

[@alicemay2294]

Omg it’s crazy that I have been watching you for so long, we graduated both high school and university at the same time & now into adulthood. Most excited about the opportunity of having more memories of traveling, meeting new and old friends, and finding myself now out of school.

[@lisakuiper9149]

heya linh!

[@camillea.2274]

linh i’ve been following you since you were in high school and I was in college and I’m just so happy for how far you’ve come!! as someone who graduated over 7 years ago (wow it really doesn’t feel that long ago!!!) I still feel like I’m figuring out this whole adult thing! but speaking of the school year I’m teaching a freshman class at the university where I started working at (which is also where I graduated from) this semester. so it’s really full circle!!

[@caketin97]

I've just graduated university and now I am hoping to start studying to teach English as a foreign language. It has been so comforting watching you during my time at university. Seeing your graduation vlogs this year at the same time I was preparing to graduate made me feel less scared for my own ceremony and also so nostalgic. I look forward to seeing how post-uni life is for you, I hope it treats us both well.

[@verneuilju]

Woaa ! I’m starting my second years at university in France !! I’m so happy and grateful for this new year ! Thanks u for all theses years of doing ‘back to school’ video hihi. Can’t wait to see what’s going on in 2025 !

[@chaex_x3757]

i'm starting uni in a month. High school has definitely been an "experience" but yeah i did it, and i know for sure watching contents like urs helped me get through it and connect with other people in my same situation even if on the other side of the world. Now i'm starting this new journey aware of what i deserve to accomplish for myself, let's explore and grow, life's good yall. P.s. Thank you for your work!, you always manage to make calming and satisfying content ^_^

[@martinafrancese9379]

Omg true we are all growing up together. Me and my sister watch your videos all the time while eating, last week i moved to denmark to start my master and i know that each of us will continue to watch your videos even if now we are thousands of kilometer apart. Moving on with life is exiting and scary at the same time but its nice to have a comfort youtuber to watch, so thank you Linh 💚

[@vilkenstrutzutzutz]

Velkommen til Danmark 🇩🇰

[@cindyalbers8986]

I just started working fulltime as a professional photographer for product shoots which is really fun! I started watching your videos a few years ago before i finally decided on a degree (even if i only found what i wanted to around your age) but we've now finished at the same time which is cool. You are really awesome and I'm always happy to get a notif for you

[@t.eddy.bea.r]

omg your aesthetic is unmatched. I will be starting my final year of bachelor degree (here we have 3 years of bachelor and then most follow up with a 2 year master, followed by more if you want to stay in accademia). I’m very nervous because I used to have perfect grades in high school, without too much effort, but now I’m so behind on my exams that if I get my bachelor degree in 6 years instead of 3, it’s a blessing. I have finally been diagnosed with autism and an anxiety disorder and i suspect of having adhd too, but it’s just really hard to sit down and study manuals of 1200 pages for every single exam. I’m studying various arts (cinema, dance, music, literature, fashion, art, theatre, etc) but here we don’t do them in practice, we study the theories, the histories, the cultures behind them. I love my degree, i guess I just have a hard time in general :/ I’m wishing luck on everyone participating in the giveaway and sorry for telling a semi sob story, I’m just a bit pessimistic at this point lol. ly and thank you for the opportunity!!

[@milenasantos8632]

I've been following you since high school, and in 15 days, I will be graduating from college. Thank you for making cozy videos; it has been lovely to follow you through the years.

[@sophiayastrebov9352]

yayyyyy she posted again :) i've watched your videos all through highschool, but this fall marks my first semester as a first-year in college! i'm in the international studies program at my school, so i'm really looking forward to learning more about the topics i'm passionate about and to make friends at my new school!

[@angelinecortes1081]

Hiiii, I'm currently in my senior year of college and it's really nerve-wracking. The scary reality of adulthood is waving and I'm not quite sure I'm ready for it. Scary as it is, it also made me want to treasure every moment I experience this senior year which is why I've been going past my comfort zone and started taking more pictures and videos, I've also gone back to journaling which I hope I keep up with. You have been and will always be one of the youtubers I look up to for inspiration, kinda like an older sister I never had, and I'm so thankful to you for that.

[@jueunbaek2258]

i found your videos in highschool when i was so incredibly awkward (i still am but). Growing up with you and watching your videos helped me get comfortable in my own skin and have the confidence to pursue my own goals. Your videos are so incredibly inspiring and cozy. I'm going into my junior year of uni now and can't wait to finally start working towards my dream of starting my own little shop ! Your relatable videos is what helped/helping me get thru college :") thanks linh !!

[@helenagoncalves8180]

this year i'll be seeing all my friends graduate whereas i only graduate next year, which leaves a funny feeling to me. I'm happy for them and they are staying for post-grad so things will not change that much. I think we will just have fun a lil bit. But that makes me think that i still don´t know what to do after i graduate and i haven´t even made any research 😅. Because of that i think this year will be about focusing on trying to come up with a plan (or begin) while keeping myself calm and grounded. I will to be moving to a new dorm (which i´ve never been in) and meeting a lot of new people so let´s see how it goes!!! I wanna say thank you, linh, for allowing us to grow with you over this years and GOOD LUCK FOR THIS NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! Lots of love from Portugal

[@cownoodle2901]

it’s crazy how one day you’re starting a new journey in school or just in life and the next you’re moving on to the next journey again. I just finished 7 years at the same school and am going to uni next year, it still feels so surreal to me that I’m going to a completely different school now and starting a whole new adventure, but nonetheless I’m extremely excited :)

[@cloverjamms]

one week before my senior year of uni starts and i'm not ready for it AT ALL. i think i'll probably take a semester off and then an additional semester so that gives me an extra year in university. it might sound like i'm trying to run away from the real world (they're not entirely wrong, to be honest) but my gut says that i need this extra time to make myself ready, and i'm willing to trust my gut on this. hopefully i'm not making a mistake. being in the same stage of life as you, i sometimes feel like i'm not doing enough in life watching you meet all these milestones in life, but your story also gives me a lot of hope about what my future could hold. i hope i get to see you around for a long long time
