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!

@@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!

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

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.🌵

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

Thank you Jade. Not many people go on KZfaq 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.

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.

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 ✨

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!

I’m proud of you. I’ve been watching your journey for years. It’s quite amazing. I might not do a post grad degree as adventurous as yours but you got me considering studying internationally.

Hi Jade, I usually don’t comment on KZfaq videos but I felt obligated to. You’ve been a source of inspiration and motivation for me since I was 14 sitting my junior cert (Irish equivalent of GCSEs). I’m 20 now, and the academic goals and challenges I’ve experienced have been immensely enriched by you, even subconsciously. I wish you all the best in life and wish only amazing things in life for you! 💖💖

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!

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.

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

jade!! it's so crazy that i've been able to follow you these past four years while I have also been moving countries + studying. 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 🤝

Just a few hours ago I was talking to my mom about how scared I am about graduating and ending this huge chapter of my life, and then this video showed up in my KZfaq home page. I can relate to so many things you said and it’s so nice to be reminded that being scared is okay! Now I can’t wait to binge watch all your videos! Thank you so much and good luck with everything with your thesis!! 💗💗💗

Congratulations! I am so thrilled with your graduations and your plans for the immediate future, dearest Jade. Things will become clearer as you relax with your family after graduation. I am eager to see the graduation video soon enough! Oh, wow! Being naked in public! No, that is definitely not something we British do! 😊 I very much enjoyed this video, and learning about your plans to keep your wonderful friendships going.

🍀🍀🍀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 🍀🍀🍀

I’ve followed your journey during my gcses 5 years ago, it truly helped me, i remember seeing how the biology meltdown got so much attention and thinking “finally someone is going to shift the narrative on this education system”. I havent watched your videos a lot since graduating but i also lived for a while abroad while doing my bachelors and hearing you talk about your experience made me so nostalgic and sad, but it shows how much youve grown these past few years, i can just listen to you explain things i struggled with deciphering and making it make sense for hours.

Congratulations on graduating! 🌿 I have followed your channel since the the gap year stories and I have simultaniously worked on my degree. Honestly I have different problems with my graduation. I have not found a job yet, but at the same time I cant wait to leave Uni live since for me it is more associated with finacial problem due to covid stuff and depression in isolation. I dreamt of Uni beeing engaging and all but instead I got a lot of Home learning due to obvious reasons. I wish you all the best for your final defences of your thesis and I wanted to thank you that your videos showed me the bright sight (or as we say the "Zuckerseite") of that experience I have lived through your videos for the last 2 years. ;) My casual magic today was watching this video in my favourite cafe in Hamburg.
