it actually makes me soo happy when someone enjoys Poland! you should put Kraków on your travel list, it’s definitely one of the most beautiful cities!

what the actual flip?! You went to Gdańsk and I didn’t even know about it... !!!! so happy you’ve finally visited Poland though❤️😍

Also Jack it does look a bit like you’ve just put a random door handle on your wall. Just saying 😂 wouldn’t put it past you 😂

Are we just going ignore that there is a door handle in the middle of the wall?

ugh you’re just such a gem jack. you seem like a great person to chat to and you have a really nice way of talking to people and welcoming them. love u and proud of u!

10:10 your. Welcome.

I fell in love with creative writing at uni and did it for my undergraduate, masters degree and now I'm starting a phd in creative writing, specializing in crime writing. I'm so excited

In a few years we'll see Jack announcing in a video that he's doing a doctor's degree after getting his master's

Jack I frickin love you and have been following your uni since you revealed your a level results and I am just SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

Omg Jack you have no idea as to how motivating and lovely this video was to watch - listening to someone talk about their interests and passions and future hopes and past experiences honestly gives grinches like me a sense of sort of faith, that things will work out and following your gut and your heart works, so thank you so much !

Jack please make sure that you put your mental health before everything else. If anything gets too hard then please dont feel pressure to put loads of videos out because we recognise you are a student. Dont stress out if Jackuary doesnt happen everyday your viewers will love your videos no matter what❤

You could do a masters in Edinburgh, since you have previously wished you had applied there for your undergrad! (I study there so I am not in any way biased...)

Jack you should use the app headspace I’m not sure if you’ve heard it before. It basically talks you through stress and relaxes you (sort of a meditation thing). Honestly though look after yourself and take time off if you need to. We are always here for you.

I feel like it's crazy how you're finishing university already, wow I've been watching your videos for 2+ years? I'm applying to uni now so pretty busy, but also very excited! Happy New Years Jack!

Amen! Deciding what to do is my n.1 problem at uni. It took me 2 and a half years to get an idea of what i really want, but now I finally have a plan. The most important thing to remember is that nothing is set in stone and you can always change career or workplace, so don't freak out about it!

This channel was definitely one of the best discoveries I've made this year. Thanks Jack for everything and good luck ;) you deserve the world. Love from 🇦🇷! 💛💛

Starting the holidays in the best way❤ By watching Jack of course⭐⭐

Jack’s videos are SiCK, I just keep comin’ back for more 😊

Okay some facts: 1. The NHS mental health sector is one of the most underfunded areas. I have pretty bad depression and am still on a 2 year waiting list 1 year an A&E situation 2. Most private therapists cost between £35-£200, therapy is not cheap, whether it is online or not. Betterhealth needs to pay for their platform, security, ads and licensing checks as well as the therapists. 3. They used to be something like £30 a session but then the 'scam' came out, it became obvious that they were skimping on the necessary safety checks including certifications (e.g. bacp qualified) and have changed this since. While I have never used the platform, it is safe to use for the most part (see 4) 4. Something to be weary of is that because betterhealth is all done digitally, the people in the other side don't get the full picture of the situation simply because they can't see your fully body language. Sometimes this will mean that they could miss something critical and for this reason, it might be unsafe for them to take someone on. However, as someone who has therapy part time on Skype and part time in person, you have to increase your communications; you have to say that you are shaking, or crying bc they can't see that. Some people are in a place they can communicate this more readily, others less so. I have absolutely no affiliation with the company

Really inspiring to hear you talk about your future with such excitement 💕

So nice to found you dear!Very pleasant to watch😊

Loved this video Jack, such a nice chill vibe with your cuppa 😂 Also good luck with writing your dissertation!

Ad ends at 2:18

Loved this chat! Enjoy the holiday season !

Just sitting, doing my knitting (hey that rhymes ;)) and watching this cosy video. I love to hear about people's passions too, specifically when you talk about the aspects of literature you love! I've applied for English Lit courses at uni as well, but I'm more drawn toward the publishing and writing aspects of it rather than media and communications. I'm super excited to meet likeminded people and move to a new place... life is full of so many opportunities and I share your enthusiasm- the world is our oyster!

this is super random but you have a really contagious laugh (these videos are so calming to watch, i'm really excited to see what places you'll take us to in the future :))

Merry Christmas Jack...keep your goals in mind as you build for each day

Love how fun and chill this video is :)

Great points! And it's even more relaxing sometimes to not even watch or scroll through screens. Just rest, maybe sleep, do nothing, go for a walk or run in nature, take a warm bath, take a moment of silence and stillness... much more relaxing than being stuck to a screen (there is a time for that too but in my opinion the mind doesn't get the best kind of rest this way).

Ngl... I wanted to try out BetterHelp a couple weeks ago and I got a rejection email from them telling me they aren't suitable for my problem (?) Kahoot is free and it helped me more.

VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS JACK!!!!! We hope your Christmas is filled with joy and love, surrounded by your family and closest friends!! We SINCERELY feel you would make a FANTASTIC kids television personality and/or script writer but we KNOW whatever you choose, in the end, it will be a SMASHING success!!! Just FYI - Shhh....Some little lady in our lives has been begging for a Jack Calendar and so Santa is bringing her one for Christmas!!!! It was trumped on her list ONLY by tickets to see Hamilton!!!!! Even at just 9, your influence is felt strongly! She has been using her personal blackboard this year to keep her “Weekly Planner,” simply because of seeing your own version on your pinboard! Ever since then she has SERIOUSLY wanted a Jackademic Planner and was SUPER UBER excited when you came out with the Jack Planner Calendar! I can’t wait to see her face on Christmas morning!!!! We hope your Nee Year sees great strides in your dissertation, bountiful opportunities to continue to help others and success both in and out of school!!!

The way you said GDAŃSK- that was so cute! 😂❤️

Love you jack ❤️❤️

I brought a brew to this video too :) I'm actually having a day of Active Relaxation today. Yesterday I finished a first draft of an essay and now I need to leave it a few days to refresh my brain before editing it, so it's relaxation time :)

I loved going to the meet and greet, usually it's not really my thing but you were all so nice and I was so nervous but you were really helpful about it. Interesting to hear updates from you and that is so cool that you've filmed a series with BBC bitesize. I vlogged my GCSE results day for them and it's so weird to know that you've also filmed for them since it's a weird link and you're really talented so it's scary because I don't deserve to be on the same revision website as you. I hope you have a lovely Christmas.

Loved this chit chat video! How about making it a weekly thing? That would be so awesome! ❤💞

love your videos :)

JACK U ARE MY INSPIRATION

Following your journey as a fellow lit student is exciting

love you jack

I think the saying "everything happens for a reason" or "everything that happens is meant to happen" can be a bit more complicated and not ultimately true. For example in your case maybe Oxford wasn't the best thing for you even if it looked like the best thing on paper. Or maybe someone doesn't get into medical school or doesn't get a particular job and it wasn't the best thing for them anyway. Here it could be true. At the same time a lot of things have happened, do happen and will continue to happened that were not meant to happen. I can think of a lot of awful things in the world for example. Even on a personal level, think about a situation where maybe someone isn't really meant to be a doctor, where that won't be the best fit for them and they are really meant to do something else that will serve their lives and the world in a better way, and they end up being so determined and just pressing through everything and they become a doctor anyway even if they weren't meant for it. And they will not be that happy. Or maybe someone who was meant to, wastes their time and doesn't work hard enough and ends up somewhere else. Yes you can say that maybe they learned something, and after the fact that is a good mindset to have, but my point is that not everything that happens is meant to happen. I think it is important to balance thinking in a way that will make you happy with being grounded in reality. Sometimes it's a bit uncomfortable to think that things that are not meant to happen can actually happen, because it might take your sense of control away from you, but ultimately it could also make you stronger and more potent because your sense of control might have only been partly real or not real at all (if your assumptions were wrong).

is that door handle just attached to the wall??

I really am in love with the personality of this guy..... So much like me!!! 😂🥰

Can't believe you visited my country, and one of my favorite cities too, I would have freaked out if I had seen you

Merry Christmas

I study screenwriting with my animation degree, a very exciting and challenging way to write, hope you get a chance to learn about it!

That’s so cool your going climbing . I’ve been doing it for 2 years and I love it . My sister did English lit & film at uni which is basically the script writing side of film . I work at the unicorn theatre as an usher in London which is a kids theatre and there was an amazing radio show that were touring and come and did a radio play there and it’s was so cool as it was being recorded for a radio station and we got to see how the different sounds were being made

You should go to Norway, lovely video btw. ❤️

It's the lady from CBBC Katy Thistleton omg!!

Merry Christmas from 🇵🇱 Poland

Hi ! Mister Jack & THANKS ... Merry XMAS 2019 to YOU

Consider doing yr masters part time I did mine fulltime and took be 6 months to get over it!

Ooo that intro tho

Are you planning on doing a straight English Literature masters or do you think you’ll specify and look at a specific genre or time period?

greetings from poland!! so happy you loved the city, you have to come to warsaw one time!! x

lol i need help, all i do is active relaxation haha

idk what to say when i'm like 0:18 into the video, but its the first time i've ever been this early

Yessss live you xxx

hi! just wondering where your jumper is from

are you gonna come to the south of france on your next summer trip because please

where's your cool jumper from??

In London? Which Uni do you apply for? UCL?

I love how you don't think you'll get into postgrad schools in England. I am an American and I applied extremely early (right after applications opened) and I was accepted to all 4 schools I applied to. That's so much easier than the US system. You should be fine about getting into a postgrad school. Also, you REALLY should go to York. It would be awesome being able to meet you when you get there.

hi

I'm from Germany and I'm taking my alevels soon and I'll graduate in july and I'm currently getting that question a lot as well and I'm debating whether or not to do a year long internship or to start uni in October. I'm thinking of studying English and art history but for the rest I'm completely unsure and it's just really stressful

How long are your terms?

your eyebrows are actually insane omg!

this video is soooo well structured and smooth, I loved it! I graduated from Durham in summer (it was beyond epic) and my original masters plan fell through, so understandably I was absolutely devastated and found myself stuck in a rut and pretty miserable. In November, I landed a PERFECT job that's so well suited to me, isn't too heavy, gives me time to think about my future, the opportunity to travel and save money, and just genuinely live. I truly believe everything happens for a reason and it all works itself out in the end. Be patient, have faith and stay positive. I wish you all the luck and happiness in the world for your 2020, I have no doubts that you're going to thrive and be the best version of yourself. Have a lovely Christmas and new year!

Age is a weird one. Our drama tech at school is 18, genuinely though he was mid 20’s. So now we just call him Theo 😂

are u from poland

Have you thought of being an extra in tv/ film? There are good websites such as backstage ect

Have you ever thought of writing a novel post-uni? Your studies certainly have prepared you for that.

Hey Jack! I've just finished my masters degree, so if you wanna chat postgrad life, lemme know! ☺️

I watch you videos to learn british English, i love British accent

I'm in my final year of university too and honestly it's exciting but scary at the same time. I think the thing I'm most afraid of is going back home... I've been studying abroad for 3 years (Canada) and the idea of going back to my home country, France, is really scary. I somehow feel like going backwards. But at the same time I'm going on a gap year, before applying to a masters degree, and I plan on traveling and doing internships. I guess it's just frightening to get out of the "highway" and to go follow your own path. Anyway, I can't wait to see what you'll do :) Especially if you're doing something in London, I love this city soooooo much!

Jack, we need to address the door handle

Jack's way of rating places he's visited | - Looks like a chocolate box lid | | | | | - Doesn't look like a chocolate box lid

Jack be getting those worthy sponsors 🙏🏽

this video gives me intense Vienna by billy Joel vibes

Wow Gdańsk! :-D Did anyone recognize you?

❤❤❤❤

imagine being this early

Jesus crist what the hell are you doing being sponsored by them, do you not remember the scandal?

💛💛💛💛

I see Jack, I click.

goddamn (that was meant to be a gdansk pun)

Hold on... I thought you applied for ACCA. Did you decide to not apply

really disappointed to see you advertising a frankly very dangerous scam. the fact that this means you obviously dont bother to research the brands you work with (the whole controversy comes up the moment you google it) is a real real shame from one of the few youtubers i trusted to be reasonably genuine.

Your degree paper .... look over the past three years of academic work....can you see a theme/concept that you could pull together which would show your development, understanding, questions, insights that represent your profound growth which uniquely defines your degree?

What student has 65 dollars per week to spare on a website that has had so many controversies? What happened to talking to friends, school councillors and doctors?

Hello Jack, I scrolled through the comments section and I sincerely think that you thought through this collab before involving your public persona with them. I understand other people's opinion about it, but I just want to remember here that everybody can make mistakes. Mental health is for sure a sensitive topic that should be addressed carefully and accurately and as it is, it's difficult to take part in these campaigns of awareness when you don't have a background that makes you legit. I don't really know about what happened as I'm french and was living in France back then (and still am) but the thing is that Jack already explained himself... So let's try to move on, and just acknowledge what we learned from it. I don't want this comment to be taken wrongly. I'm not minimising the consequences and damages of allowing non qualified people to take part on helping others that have mental health problems, as it would not be helping in such a case and could lead to more harm than anything else. But, we might as well believe in Jack's intention to do well, and to help and Betterhelp's as well. And just see that things like that don't happen again! And that is only possible by bringing awareness to it and that takes legit and non legit peoples as well to do it! Moving on other things, I can't believe that it's nearly the end of your degree! I'm in my 2nd year of French lit and 1st of English language (yes I'm one of those people that like to suffer, but I couldn't make up my self for one subject so... here I am doing both). I'm not nearly finished yet but I have a feeling that the next two and half year would happen so quickly! Fortunately, I have my plan set up and I know where I wanna go, I'll see to make it happen! I Trully believe in fate as well so yeah will see what happen! Anyway, It was inspiring to watch you grow (and it still is)! I wish you the best life and a fun and happy journey in making it happen! Best wishes for this year's end and for the beginning of the new, as you'll need it to write those 12000 words! Did you choose your topic already? I'll stop here, or I'll be writing a book at this rate x)

Hey! Really disappointed in Ruby and You (both study tubers i watch, don't know who else) for recommending Better Help when it's very publicly a scam. Their therapists are not even certified and anybody can apply to be one so we're just talking to non qualified strangers while paying them money. This service plays with such a sensitive thing such as somebody's mental health. Really upset that none of you bothered to do a proper research over the sponsor 😞 hopefully you rectify it. Love❤️

I said the same to Ruby, but Jack - I am extremely disappointed to see you partnering with a mental health service that costs $65 a week. I would imagine at least half of your subscribers are under the age of 25, and living in the UK. They are unlikely to have sufficient disposable income to afford counselling at a price of $65 a week. Moreover, living in the UK, they will have access to free counselling and CBT through their local NHS mental health trust - usually without going through their GP, and via a simple online referral process. I usually really respect you Jack but, unless your audience is 75%+ international, this partnership is quite irresponsible. I’m a medical student, and I know how much disinformation there is about accessing mental health care in the UK. Promoting expensive services like this only adds to that noise 😔

wtf is micklemiss?? (I dont know how to spell it)

man i dont want to sound mean or something but promoting betterhelp is not the move. it has been exposed previously for the 'certified' professionals not actually being certified and causing more harm than good to a lot of people

sad you're promoting a scam. But I money is money so I understand

What youre going to do after university, is marrying me :)

I feel like you are underestimating the skill that scriptwriting is. I am finishing a degree in English Lit too and did the short course and it doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. Characterization is hard (I had years of creative writing experience beforehand). Plotting and mastering the three-act structure is hard. Thinking about your writing as something that will appear on a screen rather than on a page is particularly hard. Not to mention that it is somewhat competitive to make it as a screenwriter. I don't want to sound like I don't support you in your endeavour or that I don't believe you're capable, you definitely are and English Lit gives you valuable tools for sure, but if you think you can pick it up in mere months and not with years of practice you're being delusional and arrogant. I would say start now. Read a book by Syd Fields and start writing your own scripts. Scenarist, a software for screenwriting, is particularly useful.

Jack, you shouldn’t be arecommending mental health .org. You’re not qualified to do so

Hey Jack! I've just finished my masters degree, so if you wanna chat postgrad life, lemme know! ☺️
