Molly xoxo - Jak na to + styl
it's actually so nice to see someone being honest and real about their uni experience, when I moved to uni all I saw was people saying how amazing it was but that wasn't how I felt at all and i was SO lonely, just remember you're not alone, I still get wobbles now and I'm in my second year x
Molly, I appreciate your honesty SO much! I hope your homesickness gets better (which I'm sure it will as you get even more settled!). Lots of love! x
ALSO ALSO ROAD TO 100K!!! 💛💛👏 xx
Thank you so so much Jade! I really hope so too! Miss you lots 💗💗
well done Un Jaded Jade
ive just moved to uni and having so many what ifs, even to the point ive considered tranferring unis and dropping out! My homesickness started the moment my family left:( its so hard x
It really is! We’ve got this tho gal 💗
YES! I've never related to a video more, and its so reassuring to see im not the only one finding it so difficult! I was so tempted to go home this weekend but decided i'm gonna try and last one more week! I hope things are getting easier for you and you settle in soon! If you ever need someone to vent to off the record you can always DM because I honestly know exactly how you are feeling! xx
I feel exactly the same way so don’t worry!
it's difficult at first, very difficult, but I guarantee you in 3 months from now you will feel completely different. It's a big adjustment and takes at least 3 months to get used to, but stick with it and don't go home just accept that you will feel like this for the first 3 months, it's inevitable, but 3 months from now you will be loving it.
I stress watched these videos just before I got my GCSE results before going into college, and now I’m stress watching them again before going to Uni 👌🏻 Thanks for these, Molly 😂❤️
I think the whole ‘don’t ring home, don’t talk to your family’ thing is so dumb... for me it helped so much as it made the whole uni thing feel not so permanent and life altering ... if you cut yourself off I think it makes it harder!!
100% agreed! remembering and knowing that you have friends and family at home who'll always be there no matter how it goes is SO helpful!
Good luck with first year! So proud 💕
i’m obsessed with your videos😍😍❤️
Excited for this!! 😊❤️
So excited to watch this missed your weekly vlogs 🙌🏻❤️
Love your vlogs Molly, hope you feel happier soon 💖
This vlog looks amazing xx
Absolutely stunning !! Good luck Molly love you so much ❤️❤️
Been looking forward to this!
so happy the weekly vlogs are back! Good luck with it all it will get so much easier with time xx
I am so glad your so honest in these vlogs. As univeristy is a scary thing! X
Thank you for being honest about the what ifs and is it right for me! Thought I was the only one
Best of luck with uni Molly! So proud of you lovely!xxx ♡
I’ve missed a good old weekly vlog!! Im so glad you’ve settled in and are enjoying it so far!! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow! You are amazingly head strong to be able to cope with such an overwhelming week like this so well! Well Done!! 💗✨
Aww Molly! Thank you for having the courage to share this with us! I have the whole uni experience to look forward to very soon as well so it was nice/interesting to have this insight. Enjoy your special time at home xxxx
I hope it all gets better for you soon, or at least more bearable Xx
Loved this video, both the style and the length of it ❤️❤️
Hop everything gets better. My younger brother felt the same when he started last year. Now he’s really settled. xx
I moved to uni last Saturday! I've been quite homesick too and haven't properly gelled with anyone yet which makes me even more nervous, but I'm trying to just take it as it comes!
I move to uni tommorow! I needed this video so bad!💛
Aw Molly, I really feel for you! You’ll get into it, I’m sure. Hope you’re okay!!! So much love♥️♥️
I’m so happy for you with your subscribers increasing and your views, you deserve it so much xx
Loved this vlog 💕 hope you feel more settled and happier next week :) X
Molly you are amazing and it's so good you are honest about how you are feeling.
Hey molly, I’m moving to uni next week and I’m so excited but nervous. I love that you’re being real and telling everyone all of the real differences from going to uni xx
These are helping me so much as I’m moving to uni next week!!
I've been watching your videos since you had 30k and I just wanted to say how proud I am of how much you've changed and your channel has developed. all the best xx
LOVED THIS!! Please do more xxxx
I feel the exact same! I'm moving out next Saturday to go to uni and am terrified of feeling alone as well as being so far from home as I'm moving 3 hours away. It's so normal, I just hope that once I get there I feel ok and I hope you start to feel better about everything soon x
when i started first year i found it SO comforting to look at my diary to see when i was able to go home, even if i didnt end up going home that weekend just knowing that if i really needed to i could get home! hope you settle in soon!!!
Your so gorgeous and inspiring, good luck with the course and the future❤💋❤💋
Omg I’m just like you with homesickness etc , I always always think what if I’m ill, what if I can’t do it etc , your not as bad as me but good luck and uni and you will enjoy it as the year goes on ! 💗
Thanks for being so honest about yr feelings in this vlog. Hope you feel better soon. It's such a hard thing to do but you'll soon settle into the year. X
I am going to be moving to uni next week and i'm so nervous and excited!! It's reassuring to know i'm not the only one - in love with your uni vlogs!😊❤️
I get so emotional watching you as im so proud of how you handling it all xx you go girl
I appreciate your honesty, you are such a star. I adore your videos so much.
Molly, I really feel your video has helped me to get the confidence to talk and get more involved with my flat mates as I was just sitting in my room on my own
So thank you xx
I can relate to your emotions throughout this whole vlog but 100% it does get much easier it just takes time to adjust. Keep going x
I'm so glad you're being honest because I felt exactly the same as you when I moved. I felt so lonely and emotional even though I was only about 45 mins/an hour away from home and I went home every weekend and would always look forward to it so much. So nice to see that I'm not odd or alone and that it's absolutely fine to not fall instantly in love with uni and living away from home❤️
Best first week a uni weekly vlog. You're such a honest and geniune person. I hope you're homesickness gets better.❤
I loved this Molly! It made me so happy to see you have a lovely time in London with Eve 🖤 I really hope that next week is a better week for you. It breaks my heart to hear you feel lonely and upset. You deserve all the happiness in the world and I really hope that you find that 🖤 I can’t wait for tomorrow’s vlog, I hope you’re enjoying home. I love you xxx
I went to uni last year and I understand how you feel. The homesickness suddenly hit me in October so I went home and then I was fine after having a little taste of home. Best thing you can do is don’t go home as much, get a routine. Also FaceTime is the best.
Your honesty is so refreshing to see. It's a really overwhelming time - there's nothing wrong with being upset and allowing yourself to feel that! I have every confidence you'll settle in and do so well, keep powering through 🖤
It's okay to feel sad!! Hope going home kind of helped and hopefully things get better for you❤️ whenever you cry it makes my eyes water up! I know how you feel with worrying about settling in as I started uni - hated it and thought it was the end of the worst. Made me feel so down and horrible and couldn't keep positive at all. Things should pick up!!
I literally loved this video so much!! I subscribed right away! This was so me last year and I felt very weird for feeling so lonely and out of place in what is meant to be 'the best time of your life'. Your honesty is everything, and its so important to let others know how you are feeling is normal because I feel not many people realise that and beat themselves up about it. I actually decided to start a youtube channel myself to primarily vlog uni life because I want to give a realistic view of what it can be like for a lot of people. However, I also want to say, stick to it because you will find true friendships and it will become so worthwhile! Hope you feel better soon and always stay true to yourself, loved this video so much xx
I really hope it does work out for the best! I remember feeling unsettled at first because I didn't get into halls straight away. But luckily my flatmates were very welcoming when I first moved in and I had friends on my course as well! I definitely recommend joining societies because you'll meet lots of other people there too! So hopefully you're right in that once your course properly starts you'll start to feel more at home :)
i'm going into second year in my art course and i can assure you the uncertainty is really hard, but dont feel like youre trapped where you are, and you do have some control over your experience ❤️ things start to make sense with time
I started university last year, and I was the same at the start, so many ‘what ifs’ and I just want to go home, and what if it wasn’t the right thing for me, I almost dropped out to do something else however I am so glad that I stuck it out and got to meet loads of new people, and have made so many amazing friends! My whole outlook changed and this year I’m so excited to move back to university, and actually have a house that will feel more like home! The first few weeks/month is hard and it feels so lonely, but from experience and someone who thought that I would never feel at home or part of it, it does get easier and better! Good luck with your course! You’ll make some amazing unforgettable memories x
this is the most real first week video i've seen. I moved to Hull uni last year from Leeds and those moments alone in your room or in your kitchen are the strangest and loneliest times ever, but i promise it does get better you do settle and soon uni will feel like another home!
i did an art foundation course last year! i kind of wish i could go back and redo it cos i feel like i didnt get as involved in the work as i could have, but my course made me realise that as much as i love art i couldnt do it as a career, now im off to nottingham to study something completely different! but thats the beauty of foundation courses, its like a trial year to see if u can do it as an undergraduate. just explore everythings thats offered to you and hopefully you'll find that light blub moment of what you feel super passionate about! but if not, please dont stress
It's so nice to see someone be so honest about their experience of moving to uni, yes its exciting but it's also so scary and unsettling. When I moved to uni I cried so much and went home after like 2 weeks haha. I promise you though it get's better and after christmas you'll just feel perfectly fine at uni and you'll still miss home sometimes but you'll love uni! Lotta love molly, hope you're okay xxxx
Molly ❤️ I started uni 10 years ago (showing my age!) And I'm still friends with the girls on my course - we celebrated our anniversary during the summer! 🎉 Uni has its highs and lows but was an amazing experience. I actually went to Leeds too and I'm from London so feeling homesick was big for me. I also struggle with knowing what I want to do and I'm 29! I think your anxiety and worries are natural. The what ifs are tough. It's okay to feel that way. You go girl, you're doing your best! X
Sending you love xxxx
I hated my first week of university and I was so homesick, after a couple of weeks in proper routine and once you’ve made firm bonds with your course mates it gets so much better! Keep smiling🤗
Hope this week goes better for you! I know its really hard to feel yourself in a different environment but you just have to give it time. I can assure you that most people are feeling the same. I would honestly just say get yourself out there as much as you can, try and make a close friend that way you won't feel as lonely.
I start Uni on Monday doing a Fine Art course and I feel as though it can be daunting, however everyone has different styles and not one persons idea is more important that the others. Sharing creativity together betters you and I really hope that it makes you feel the same.
Always here for a chat
Addicted to your content !!! Love you so much ❤️ I’m thinking of Leeds next year x still got one more year of a levels ..
This is making me soooo excited specially since the first few people from my sixth form are going now!
Molly, you will feel a lot better when the course starts, promise you!
Love you Molly ❤️
i hope you have a good time at uni!
Can’t wait to watch love you
I visited home loads, cried for weeks and found it really difficult to settle when I started uni but now I'd do anything to start first year again, you'll find your place and your vibe and tribe, it does get better and worst case, its only like 9 months! x
hiii! it’s really cool of you to not pretend that you are enjoying every single thing of uni and it’s quite refreshing to see all of your honesty with how you’re feeling and your situation. I started uni this time last year and struggled so much that I had dropped out within a month! I just wanted to let you know that it does get better and you’ll eventually know what is right for you! I really hope that you manage to get over the homesickness soon, it’s the worst feeling EVER, and that you start to feel better about it! 💖
Love you ,Molly!!!
It’s really nice seeing someone else open up about this. I moved to uni a week ago and I’m in the exact same shoes as you, I’m debating wether to drop out or not and I am worried people will judge me if I do. But it’s so nice watching your videos and seeing I’m not the only one
Legit watching this was like replaying my first week last year. Don’t worry Molly, you’re doing so well darl honestly, I promise
It's refreshing to see you being so honest about how you're feeling at Uni. I can relate so much - I felt exactly the same 3 years ago when I started at Uni! What you said about watching Zoella's vlog to feel calmer really resonated with me as I actually found Alice Thorpe to watch as she was a fresher at the same time as me, and she made me feel so much better because starting Uni is scary and when you feel alone youtube can really help!! I also came home every weekend in my first year for an entire year, and totally understand that sometimes that's what you need to do to feel better!! I hope your homesickness passes, I promise you it will do, even if it takes longer than you'd previously anticipated! Xxx
Good luck at uni. ❤️❤️
I just got back to uni for my second year, and I found leaving home after this summer so much harder than last year. I think part of it is last year my dad came and helped me move in and get settled, whereas this year I did it all alone. I found it hard at first last year because I moved to a new country for uni and knew absolutely no one, but my flatmates were super welcoming, and by the end of October I felt like I had found a good group of friends. Up until that point, I was alone a lot and just kind of stayed in my room, but once societies got up and running and doing events, I found ones that interested me and that helped me make friends with similar interests.
Molly your honesty is so so valuable. I am in my second year of university now and even now it’s been difficult to come back and find the balance of being happy to be here but homesick at the same time. Hearing your honest opinions has made me feel so much less alone- thank you so much❤️❤️❤️
Awh Molly hope you feeling better !!! I say once you started get really Into uni and like join society and clubs you feel lots better and like once you make a few friends too . It's really hard being away from home but I say lots of people are feeling the same way !!! Love your vlogs 😀❤
Literally this was me last year in uni, I was always going home in order to ‘break up’ the uni life! After Christmas it seems to get so much better, and the homesickness seems to go x
I’m reliving my time at uni through you! 😄
In my first year I came home at Christmas- after three months of uni and still didn’t want to go back! But after that I absolutely loved uni and it finally felt like home. It’s different for everyone but homesickness is completely normal💛
Hearing this experience totally mirrored mine. I went home after my first week and I begged my Mum not to send me back (even though uni was my choice, ha!). It sucked and even though there was nothing particularly horrible about uni it was just such a massive change and I couldn’t stop thinking about how I’d never have the same routine again. By December I had a great set of friends and the homesickness had died down. From someone now going into second year, it does get better. Don’t do what I did and totally avoid every chance to socialise when all you want to do is go back to your flat and FaceTime your family and boyfriend. Jump into it with two feet. I ended up loving first year so much but like anything it took time. You’ve got this!
I move to uni on Friday in Leicester and its 4 hours away from where I live, im super nervous and was worried that I would be the only one feeling like this but after stumbling across ur vlogs and ur channel it has made me feel more settled and made me look forward to moving..... Im so happy I came across your channel becuase I know that when I move and feel low about being away from my family I can just log into youtube and watch your channel..... GOOD LUCK FOR UNI and i cannot wait to watch more of your videos xx
Awh Molly I'm sorry to hear you've not been feeling 100% about uni so far, but it really is great to see you being honest, not many uni stories are portrayed in all lights, mainly just focussing on positives. My only advice would be to persevere because it will get better- you're already doing amazingly well even if it doesn't feel like it! Xxx
It is so good that you actually gave your honest experience in thus video which will help so many others out there....
Don't worry about the homesickness you will overcome it lysm molly keep it up💜💜
You'll get there Molly in time, stay positive :)
Molly I know exactly how you feel. I moved to university last year and the homesickness was so bad I spent so much of my time either crying or wishing I was at home. For me it never really eased up so I transferred to my local university and I’m feeling much more positive. It’s 100% down to the person, the fact that everyone enjoys university is not true! More people find it more difficult than you’d think. Don’t force yourself to do something you don’t want to do, happiness is a far far more worthy than a degree💕
The first few weeks of uni will always be a struggle in terms of having doubts/second thoughts. But that's completely normal! Just stay positive and stick through it. That's what i did and im so glad because uni has gone quite well and im about to go into my second year.
Love this weekly vlog format while you’re at University 💖
Loving the uni videos😊
Girl love your contenttt❤️❤️
I love that you are being honest about your uni experience. I would maybe say that after this weekend don't go home as much because that way you can really try and settle into uni. I love your videos!
I did a 2 year Foundation in Fine Art and honestly I am so glad that I didn't do the full degree. It made me realise that it wasn't what I wanted to do- but it did mean that I had a lot more experience when doing my next course. I have now gone on to do a Honours in Graphics which has made me much happier!
Molly I know uni is amazing and it’s a great experience and I go myself but I stay at home but if you’re honestly not okay just leave and stay home! Don’t make yourself miserable or alone, please don’t put yourself through it! You don’t have to stay x
I really struggled in my first year of uni. I cried every single time I got dropped back off and went home most weekends. However it really does get better. I loved having my car at uni the following two years because it gave me the freedom and security knowing I could drive home whenever I wanted to. I would say wait it out and if you absolutely hate it, it’s not the worst thing in the world dropping out! X
The fact that you told us all your little worries, and it wasn’t portrayed as the best time of your life from day one has actually really settled me, and reduced my anxiety xx thank you x
I watched this 4 years ago and it’s crazy to watch it again now having gone through it all
I literally cannot wait for tomorrow’s vlog and I’m sooo happy that the weekly vlogs are backx
I started a levels this week and I've already swapped art for photography and now I'm much happier with my choices!
I'm going to uni of Leeds next week as a first year and these videos are making me feel so much more calm about moving to uni and to Leeds!!xoxo
How's it going so far?
I was older before I moved away for uni and I moved in with a boyfriend and I still really struggled. I couldn’t imagine doing it alone! I phone my parents nearly everyday just to chat about their day as I would have spoke to them like that when I lived at home. Everyone has doubts, it took me months to settle. Do not feel bad about phoning home everyone is different with how much they want/need to talk to family. What helps me is knowing when I’m next going home, I always get more homesick when I don’t have a trip home planned!
I never usually comment I always feel too old to be watching (23 lol) but I had to on this I’m so glad you’re talking and being real about this side of uni! I was in a similar boat when I first started I was unsettled and homesick and I didn’t get on with my housemates at all I spent every night in my room FaceTiming my boyfriend, (I ended up moving to a different uni) but things do get better and what’s meant to be will be, don’t feel bad for missing home it’s natural, good luck and I can’t wait to watch your journey through uni! X
