hi friends,
it's been a while since my last college vlog, i've missed you dearly! this vlog is a bit old, but a hefty one- it covers everything from late november to my last few weeks in december before winter break.
getting to spend a long stretch of time away from campus has been such a blessing. long story short, this semester was tough on me (not just academically, but mentally and socially too). i don't want to linger on the lower moments / details too long, but always know that you aren't alone!! and mistakes are part of our growth, no matter where you are in your life journey.
i love you so very much and am incredibly thankful you're here right now, sharing this moment in our little corner of the internet ♡
here's to a kinder, simpler, more gracious semester of self-compassion. see you so, so soon!

i am tearing up reading all your messages of relatability and support o my🥺 so thankful for u all and our little community ♡ i’m doing a lot better now! :’) winter break plus time at home were both so kind to me. feeling really good about this upcoming semester. WE’VE GOT THIS! 💞

hello Christine. I’m a fellow vlogger and a medstudent studying in Korea. Just wanted to leave a comment after seeing your honest thoughts and the mental breakdown you had to go through. I remember you doing your Harvard acceptance video and how you’ve mentioned, you never really thought you’d get accepted. You are where you are at now because you deserve it, and you will be where you want to be since you are trying so hard. You have so much potential in you and you are a positive influence to many of us so keep shining (although you don’t always have to). Just reminded me of when I suffered so much during my anatomy days. I kept going and looking back, I’m so glad I did. Can’t wait to see your medschool vlogs! X

it's nice and comforting to see you be so transparent about your experience as a student at Harvard. as a college student and a third year myself it felt good to know I wasn't the only one struggling during the fall semester. you are an amazing person and you inspire me

@MeganNicolee1 2 жыл бұрын

I appreciate you putting in your breakdown here because I think, for most college vloggers, they romanticize college and it’s important to note that not everything is a party. Especially my senior year, I cried a lot about school and the amount of pressure college puts on you and that you put on yourself is insane and needs to be talked about more often. You’re not alone Christine we love you all very much and it’s okay to cry when you need to 💕

@evelynsued 2 жыл бұрын

Christine, you're SO relevant! It's so important to know we're not alone and the person in the other side of the screen also pass for tough moments. I admire you a lot more for the courage to ask for help when you needed it and to share with us what you are going through. Stay safe and well! Hugs from Brazil🖤

I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years now and it has never failed to bring a smile on my face. From watching every new video you upload to going back and re-watching my favourite ones numerous times , this is one of my comfort places to be. Thank you for being such a beautiful human being. I sincerely hope you always do well in your life. Much love 🌻

Hi Christine! I'm from the UK studying a bachelors in Forensic Psychology. We've just started 2nd semester here! First semester was great but over the new year I lost my 13 year old dog. He was my best friend and I've found losing him is severely impacting my studies. I have our version of finals coming up soon and seeing how you got help when you were struggling has made me realise that I might need some help too. I always thought I just "wasn't sick enough". I guess as a psych student I should have realised that was just a thought society has put in my head. Thankyou for showing us the highs and lows. Wish you well!

Christine, it's so completely fine to feel like this. Heck, everyone does at some point. Relax and have a little fun once in a while please, you already do sooo much for us, and managing this channel and other platforms + uni must be so tiring. 🥺 I hope you know that we all love and support you not because of your grades, college or achievements, but mainly for your kind, lovely, warm personality and the honesty and realness you have in your vlogs. They make us feel a close bond to you

thanks for reminding us we aren't alone! I've been on a break from school, so I can't necessarily relate to the feeling of exams again yet, but the feeling of being behind is something that's been eating at me a lot for a while. it helps to know that I'm not the only one feeling how I do. thanks for rooting for us Christine ❤️🙏🏿

Hi Christine! I love your videos. I really agree with the title its ok to not be ok. Although I have a little less than 10 years till I'm in college, I can understand what you are going through. All the stress on your shoulders... Every day, just think positive and your self-esteem will rise. Your videos really inspire me and Harvard is now my dream school. Lots of love and keep going! 🌼

I've watched the vlog after long tiring day at the end of the semester of the last week and I had 4 submission, 1 exam, 2 quizzes, and 2 presentation in 3 days, I cried really hard because I become late to graduate and I want to raise my GPA and MGPA but it's so stressful, seeing the vlogs made me cry more because the feeling is so crazily annoying, and I liked you, I hated seeing you suffer too!! God have mercy on us, wish you okay and healthy, and hope you get a great marks.

Hi Christine! New watcher here as well as a fellow vlogger (just beginning) :) I definitely agree with you. There is no shame in getting help, the exact opposite actually because you are aware of the problem and want to resolve it. Mental health is so important so make sure you’re doing things that make you happy! I hope you’re feeling better by the time you see this. Also I love your vlogs and can’t wait to see more :)

Hey! I am with alongside the hundreds of others who commented their support and how they relate to your feelings of being overwhelmed, frustrated, and in a lot of stress. This time of month is still challenging and really hard to focus still, and that is okay! Just because we got into the new year, doesn’t mean that our life will be promised with happiness and positivity ALL THE TIME! We try our best! It will be all worth it, once you take a leap and walk across that stage with your graduation gown, cap, camera, stoles and cords! We love youuu! Yes, I think it is very important to be alert and real, when we are feeling a certain way, it will be an indication that we need a break sometimes! ❤️

Hello Christine, I hope you are well. My little sister is a big fan and she loves you so much, she doesn't miss any of your videos because her dream is to become like you. Unfortunately, she will not be able to fulfill this dream. She has a tumor and no longer has many days ahead of her. Today is her birthday and the best gift I could give her is a video of you wishing her "happy birthday". Her name is "Ian". I hope you will read this comment, I also sent you a mail.
