  • I've been wanting to make a lil guide to your 20's as I slowly figure it out and thought this would be a great Part 1! So I graduated a year ago WHAT! I asked you guys on IG what you want to know about post-grad life and here it is. We're diving into job searching, majors, budgeting, friendships, existential crises, imposter syndrome, ETC

    As for a video request, could you provide tips on surviving a cold winter? I recall a video on styling winter outfits, but maybe if you have any recommendations for brands on winter clothes/shoes, or even how to support/maintain physical and mental well-being during the winter. I know it's barely fall, but just wanted to throw that idea out there! Thanks again!

      thats rlly sad, that pressure :( in my country, (before covid anyway haha) a gap year is very normal, its often when people will go travelling and explore the world ! I"m gonna graduate a couple years after some of my friends cause of my gap years, but its given me so much life knowledge and expanded my worldview and I wouldn't have done it any other way !
