Also it's okay if you make a 'wrong' decision if it will lead you where you need to go. When I was 19 I didn't get into Med school so I went to faculty of Technology and metallurgy, was there for a month and one day I realised that is not what I want to do. I got up from class, went home and started preparing for Med school again, and a year later I got into Dental school, which now I really love. I'm in my fifth year now, still have one more year to go :)
Sis it's just my case and im in my first year in a school of engineering but i always said i wanna be a surgeon i changed my mind in the last minute and im lost now
It’s creeping me out how much I can relate with your experience. I’m at a point In my life that I had my first rejection for med school and now I’m struggling to decide what I want to do with my life. I have a deep love for biology and I really want a bio major but I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to find a good paying job. I’m stressing about my future and overthinking it in a point that I find it unhealthy. Now I’m just thinking if I should pursue dentistry just for the stability and the money or veterinary due to my deep love for animals and medicine or just biology. I’m so confused that I can even describe it. I don’t want my job to consume my personal life and I want to travel and be involved in the business world if that makes sense... Thank you so much for the video and I guess I should just take a deep breath and let life just happen. Love you ❤️
I relate so much to you. I come from Poland and, despite being accepted to many medical schools in my country, I've decided to take a gap year and apply to a Scottish university instead of starting medicine in Poland. I had one interview at Aberdeen (I loved the city and the university has everything I've ever wanted) but unfortunately a few days ago I received an information that I've been rejected and put on a waiting list 😔 I don't want to stay in Poland so much and I really fell in love with Scotland. Now I'm feeling down and frustrated at the same time. Should I reapply or sth...
Reading this comment section has made me feel so much better knowing other people are feeling this. I’ve applied for uni for next year but for a degree I care nothing about, and my problem is i don’t know how to fix this BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO AT ALL, mainly because I have no ‘passion’. This situation been stressing me so much, literally giving me the shakes!!
How is it going now? Do you think it was the "right" path for you after all? I'm about to finish highschool and I only know I want to go to uni but I have no idea what to study. I don't have a passion either but I don't want to study sth that I know I don't care about at all. It's so hard to not have a plan.
I think everybody feels like this from time to time and we just need to acknowledge that especially in this day and age where the opportunities and possible ways foreward are seemingly endless. For me it was helpful to realise that I don't always need a perfect and save plan, it's ok to feel lost sometimes (or a lot of the time actually hahaha). We are all in the same boat and even when everybody around us seems to hava a perfectly planned future and knows exactly what's next for them, that's probably not the case! xx
This is success. True success. Not letting drawbacks hold you back. You so beautifully turned every negative situation into a positive outcome! And that -ish is so hard to do!! Happy to see ya thriving Holly! 👏🏻👏🏻☺️
I’m the type of person who’s always had a clear plan on what they wanted & the career they inspire to have. But now because of corona, third year for my degree isn’t going ahead (this is because I do a HND course at college, they were adding a third year to then graduate with a BA) so now I’ve been thrown into the ‘real’ world, completing my practical course online with no idea what I want anymore
As a final year Neurobiology PhD student (London-based), I'd definitely advise you to use your Masters and spare time to figure out what intrigues you most and what you'd like to find out more about. I think your plan to gain more experience in labs and clinics is an excellent idea - as you said, don't rush in, make sure you're passionate and not doing things out of obligation. PhD-ing can become isolating at times, which was what I struggled with most (even as an introvert). Nonetheless, it was a rewarding experience that I probably won't do again due to the stress/pressure of getting results for your thesis (can't lie lol) but can recommend if you're absolutely passionate about a subject! You can do this!
Hi Holly. I'm glad you know yourself enough to know that medicine isn't for you. Or that you realised it about yourself in time. I studied medicine and it was a huge struggle for me because it was absolutely wrong for me. Even though I was intellectually capable, and I got my degree, it has caused a lot of mental health issues (including a hospitalization for burnout that I am still recovering from over a year later), uncertainty and fear. For me, and maybe for you as well, being an introvert made it even more difficult, because you rarely get a moment to yourself. It's amazing how trapped a career like this can make you feel, and I am at a loss about what to do as well. Thanks for your honestly and best of luck. General wisdom is that you find your way to where you want to be, and not to regret pathways that didn't seem to work, because you gain something from everything you do.
Holly, you arrive in the right moment. I just had a bad moment about my future. I am in my final year of bachelor degree in Italy, and all this competition in the job world is stunning me. There is a lot of pression about what others expect from you, the grades, the uncertainty of the future. In the end what matters most is yourself, what fits for others don't necessary fits for you, so you have to search the better job and the better life which are better for you, without caring about the rest. Thank you for have reminded me this. I wish you will accomplish your dreams.
This video definitely came to me at the right time. Being in year 12 I thought I had everything set out, to do all my work experience work so hard at school and get the grades I needed for medicine. Then all of sudden, this whole pandemic occurred: cancelling work experience and shutting my school. When i finally thought I was really finding my feet and everything starting to go my way, it appeared that everything got taken away. Evidently I’m still working hard at work at home but such a big change in environment really catalysed so much confusion and uncertainty about my future. I’m just trying to trust that what I’m doing right now and the situation I’ve found myself will lead me where I’m meant to be. Hopefully someone will really get to see that I want to do medicine with my grades reflecting that, if not we will be in the right place some day🤞🏻
I just confirmed going to a university in the fall and needed so bad to know that the anxiety I was feeling about not knowing what each day will look like was common. Thanks Holly
Its so funny hearing how a rejection was a bless I mean, if u pass you would never say "It would be better being rejected". Its not a bless you just failed.
Dudeee...I was just watching your IG story and your notification for new video popped up🥺❤🙈🥳🥳🥳 And well yes... The world right now yes seems veryy dull,doomy,and genuinely veryyy dark... But we all got to just remember thaat there is light outside this tunnel. And and and Again for the millionth time probably I'm commenting this on your video... Thank you for your videos on studying and giving out that positive vibes and your videos have genuinely helped me to.just get up and set myself up on my desk and just power through the online assignments each day. Love you Holly❤❤❤ Be Positive
I'm fascinated by you holly! The whole time I watched you talking, it feels like you are in your own world. It's nice to see you talking about taking the time and just go with the flow. Thank you for this wonderful video.
i love hearing about how you still have unknowns, and you're learning to trust yourself in it. my gcses have just been cancelled and obviously i'm worried about my a levels and future. but you've taught be in this video to trust the process
I'm in a bit of a difficult situation right now... Since the beginning of high school I always knew what I wanted to do and what to study where. So pretty much all my life that I remember I had a clear plan and followed it. I finished high school and now I'm quite close to finishing my masters. But now, for the first time in my life, I have no clue what to do and I'm 24 years old. For my course a PhD is very common to do but that's all I know. Staying at the university where I did my degree would be the "easy" option, I have an offer to stay, all my friends are here and it's close to my family. However, I'm kind of fed up with the whole working atmosphere at my uni for various reasons and I am considering going abroad as well. I stayed in the UK for a few months last year and did a research project there and I absolutely LOVED it! But going there for a PhD would mean leaving my friends and familiy behind for a LONG time. And unfortunately, Brexit happening does not make the situation easier. I am just so confused and not knowing what to do is a very new feeling for me. But as you said, there is no right or wrong.
Hey Holly, this Video is honestly so relatable! I started studying Nutrition (Bachelor not masters) last fall, but in the first Semesters we learn absolutely nothing about nutrition. It is so frustrating because I really don't know if it will ever get better… but yeah, I guess I just have to trust and see how it evolves…
It was SO relatable and also super helpful - thank you for that! I have been through a similar journey with getting job offers that just didn't feel QUITE right. Good, but I felt like it wasn't what I should be doing. I am now doing a Master's I am interested in (Business Psychology) while working a job that I enjoy. And yes! Mental health is SO important. I am realizing that now with the Corona Virus - I NEED TO SLOW DOWN! I live my life like it is a race to get somewhere. But it is about enjoying each moment as I go along! Yes, there are long-term goals that I want to pursue and that is worthwhile doing, too. But I also need to have wonderful times NOW. I need to take time to SLOW DOWN, relax, think and breathe.... Thank you so much for your videos you are such an inspiration!
As Yogi Berra once said "Predictions are difficult to make especially about the future".....he was well known for his malapropisms... I would say, be careful, but don't worry too much, because you can drive yourself mad worrying about things over which you have no control! Everyone is concerned or nervous about the future and the unknown.....you are in good company...... You are correct ....trust yourself, and build a community around yourself ....good luck!
Thanks so much for this Holly! I graduated a couple of years ago and have a really good job right now, but it's nothing to do with my degree and I just feel confused about what I want and where to progress in the future! Ah well I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. Stay safe everyone ❤
Holly gets excited about nutrition and the hands are going bright red :D I love you, Holly, you're such a generally bubbly and candid person. I really love that!
I really liked this video and eventhough I'm a few years younger than you it's very relatable. I started university this year and (after a lot of doubt) I study landscape architecture because I thought it would be the perfect combination between learning things and being creative. But I got the feeling that I was wasting my time every semester because it just didn't feel like I was learning anything (especially in comparison to high school, where I took a lot of classes). And now I think of studying biology because I'm sure I will feel like I'm learning something then. But I'm really unsure about what I would want to do after studying biology (because I don't think I would like doing research) but maybe I shouldn't worry to much about the future that far ahead. I'm also scared that I am going to choose biology without enough passion for the subject, or that I won't like it because there is no creative part there. As you probably see I'm overthinking everything. But I actually just want to say that it is really nice to see a video like this from you, especially because you are a biology student. Okay sorry for this whole paragraph haha, Thank you! :)
Oftentimes Holly the correct decision stops being that shortly after making it lol and that's why your "go with the flow" approach is spot on! Whatever you end up doing career wise, you will no doubt rise to the top because of your intelligence, but perhaps more because of your passion! Regardless of whatever the content of any video might be, you always nail it when it comes to putting and/or keeping things in perspective and that will serve you so well in the future. Thank you for caring like you do and for sharing yourself with us Holly. STAY SAFE and stay well 🤞
Holly what a true, honest and transparent thoughts you got. I am really amazed and motivated as well with your life. I have been following you since you weren't in Cambridge even. Thank you for this video
I like the Unknown because it is just that an unknown. No one knows thus its an opportunity. The unknown in my opinion is up to you! Hope I got my thinking across! Love the videos, keep pushing forward!
HI Holly! I have been watching your videos for about 2 years I think, maybe more... And I haven't seen your videos for a while! So this week I wondered how you were, what was happening with your life etc, so I came to your yt and the first video I saw was this one. It ressonated with me on SO MANY LEVELS!!! I am in med school, and with this virus pandemic, our classes became online. Being at home with those classes, not feeling motivated to do my assignments, I really started to think if medicine is really for me. I am in a process of figuring out what I really want, just like you did. Anyways, your video helped me a lot! I feel less alone now, hope you do too! Kisses from Brazil.
wow Holly.. I just feel as it's me talking in the video. there are so many similar things between us, I overthink as well, can't make decisions and uncertainty scares me. I'm doing a degree in Biology as well and don't know what to do next. All my friends have it sorted out, some are in medicine, some engineering etc and they don't have to think too much about it. For me on the other hand, the future is a big blur. I'm thinking of doing masters and phD too, but I don't like teaching (and scared to do so)... anyway, this video came to me in the right time.. thank you!! xx
thank you for this video Holly, for me I know what I want but I don't know how to make it happen. this video comforted me and let me know that things will work out even if it's a slow process, everything will be okay, sending love :)
The University of Glasgow has excellent Nutrition Phd and Clinical Nutrition MSc(MedSci) programmes. It does not have Australia weather though...diving needs thermal lined drysuits.
I am a very recent addition to your audience but I've come to love your videos so much.With the perfect grades and rejections all encapsulated in your channel,you seem like a very tangible inspiration,something we can all be(of course with your unrelenting dedication). I hope you know you're keeping a lot of spirits alive with yours. ❤❤
I got rejected by basically all big accounting firms in London, but I think I will keep applying, but sometimes it is just so frustrated. Especially when you are an international students who does not have family here and also have been rejected at the final stage
This video reflects my thought process at the moment so well. I'm just not sure what to do with my studies and future and change my mind every day. It's driving me crazing! Thank you for showing me that there are other people out there going through the same thing :)
Hey holly, I have been at these state of fear of not being able to control everything and that's the main reason I'm super afraid to socialise cos you can't control what other people think about you or how they react. But because of that, I decided not to care about how others think about me but be the best version of myself. Career-wise, I have been a freelancer since I started college and it has been 3 years. The reason why I liked freelancing is because I get to choose jobs and manage my own working time rather than being managed. I once wanted to try out for a fulltime job but the fear of being managed and controlled just scared me. Despite the uncertainty with income for freelancers, esp because of the virus, I was then convinced that I actually love my job and cut out the thoughts of having a fulltime job.
Thank you so much Holly. I needed this! Please make more of these kind of videos. But of course take your time, I know it's something that comes naturally.
Thanks Holly!! This is just in time! I just finished my application season and am struggling with my decisions of masters or PhD offers (and now also have to face this pandemic...) The trust is what really helps I suppose, thanks for sharing, really!
I've been feeling lost for 6 months, now this pandemic has arrived it's made it worse lmao. I graduated last year in Tourism Management and moved to Germany, but couldn't get a job in any sector (even supermarkets, call centres or cleaning) let alone in Tourism. I do have a job at a tutoring centre tutoring English but the pay is so poor and I only work 3 hours a week, but it's my only choice of a job right now. Your videos help a lot to keep my chin up. :)
Holly, I really look forward to all of ur ideas...it was only because of u that I started making a to-do list and actually planning my stuff out. Thanks LOT ..
You can't possibly know how much I needed this. I finished university last year and I've been struggling about what to do next ever since. Right now I'm applying to universities in the UK and I don't know if I'll get accepted which makes me very anxious. However, I just try to focus on the application process and let things develop organically. If I'm a good candidate I'll get in and if not, I'll have to think of other options. Thank you for this video!!
What I am interested in is what your parents told you to do. My parents for example are divorced. My mum tells me to take my time and do whatever i love to do. My dad tells me to finish education as fast as possible and get a job in which i earn much money. Holly, did your parents told you what to do and in what extend did you fulfill their wishes? I feel lost at the moment... I finish school this year and don‘t know what to do... Thank you for sharing this video with us!
hello! so my parents give me advice but they always just want me to to find the things that i really enjoy doing! therefore my advice to you would be to listen to what they have to say, but ultimately your future is YOUR decision! it's not their life, and obviously they just want the best for you, but please follow your heart! 💚
Its so difficult to follow your interests at times and do what really moves you , me i dont have that luxury just because i had a slight interest in biology my parents think that i should become a doctor , i dont even know if i should become one ,they say it has money and nothing else matters more than money .
I have been watching u since very beginning and your videos are just perfect. Like everything i want to watch. And today this video was something i needed . I'm in the same situation . Gap year . Um idk how to express myself. But thank you♥️
Thanks for sharing this!! I'm at the same point in life, and you can't imagine how much it helps hearing all this! Btw it would be great if you could make some podcast recomendations (like the one you mention at the beginning of the vlog) 😄
This was just the video I needed to watch this evening ❤️❤️ feeling so uncertain about what to do next year after my honours degree. I’d like to do master but not sure if I want to jump straight into it. Just feeling a little exhausted tbh but we shall see what the future holds ❤️
I've been waiting on this video Holly!! That is perfect for you!! I think everyone has experienced this in their lives, and I was no exception. One year ago, I was very lost. But I always knew that I wanted and that is to help people, some way or the other. A few months ago I knew what to do. Can you guess? I'm going to med school. 🤓🤫❤️
I really needed this holly! Thankyou so much. Here in India everything has just shut exams i hv been working on might get cancelled and i just feel my plans falling apart but as you said we all in this together! All the love to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️ stay safe🙃
I really wanted to be a heritage conservator, but if my country didn't have finances for it before, it won't have any after either, so I'm afraid I am wasting time studying all those things I love
I really want to be that honest with myself. ...I still have a long way toward my future or the person that I want to be. I'm a medical student so the road has been drawn for me for many years , but not anymore , I don't know what specialist I'll become or where I'm going to take it , when I'm going to start my master , or even if I'm going to be strong through all of this ! Am I going to regret my decision or am I going to love it there Also I'm kind of starting my own Webcomic which I love doing and making am i going to leave behind like you did with your dancing life , am I going to regret this ?will I have time for this ? Nothing is certain... at this age we all relate to this feeling
Also it's okay if you make a 'wrong' decision if it will lead you where you need to go. When I was 19 I didn't get into Med school so I went to faculty of Technology and metallurgy, was there for a month and one day I realised that is not what I want to do. I got up from class, went home and started preparing for Med school again, and a year later I got into Dental school, which now I really love.

Sis it's just my case and im in my first year in a school of engineering but i always said i wanna be a surgeon i changed my mind in the last minute and im lost now
So you never got what you wanted? Inspiring
@@matheusminto I did, I love dentistry, I'm glad I didn't get into med school.
Who else had the song „into the unknown“ in their head whenever she said the word „unknown“
Don't know that song!
theFitty Its from Frozen 2
over the garden wall unknown
ehhh mannn i don't know this song ... 😬🤦🏻♀️
but come on now, that's probably not surprising is it? 😂
Holly Gabrielle ohhh, no. its from the movie Frozen 2, “into the unknown,,
There is a degree of Uncertainty to anything
But when it's about stying alive
Then you feel just paralysed
And it sucks !

Also it's great to know that there are other people out there u feel uncertain and unsure about their future
The sad reality is that I don't even know about present....
yes you do! you're watching this video 👏🏻 that's something certain, right? (ps: focus on the small things, not the big things!) 💚
Its so funny hearing how a rejection was a bless
I mean, if u pass you would never say "It would be better being rejected".
Its not a bless you just failed.
I struggle with the same things and it's so hard for me to decide anything so fingers crossed for everyone in that situation
Dudeee...I was just watching your IG story and your notification for new video popped up🥺❤🙈🥳🥳🥳
And well yes... The world right now yes seems veryy dull,doomy,and genuinely veryyy dark...
But we all got to just remember thaat there is light outside this tunnel.
And and and
Again for the millionth time probably I'm commenting this on your video...
Thank you for your videos on studying and giving out that positive vibes and your videos have genuinely helped me to.just get up and set myself up on my desk and just power through the online assignments each day.
Love you Holly❤❤❤
Be Positive
that's very true Shrey... thanks Holly for all the motivation u've given us... love u loads!
A lost year 13 here😂 thank you for making this video - you saying just live the moment really helped me to think positively :)))
no worries 😉
I'm fascinated by you holly! The whole time I watched you talking, it feels like you are in your own world. It's nice to see you talking about taking the time and just go with the flow. Thank you for this wonderful video.
I was so lost that I even started learning Chinese....
Your video made me return back to my track studying Biology
i love hearing about how you still have unknowns, and you're learning to trust yourself in it. my gcses have just been cancelled and obviously i'm worried about my a levels and future. but you've taught be in this video to trust the process

And yes! Mental health is SO important. I am realizing that now with the Corona Virus - I NEED TO SLOW DOWN! I live my life like it is a race to get somewhere. But it is about enjoying each moment as I go along! Yes, there are long-term goals that I want to pursue and that is worthwhile doing, too. But I also need to have wonderful times NOW. I need to take time to SLOW DOWN, relax, think and breathe....
Thank you so much for your videos you are such an inspiration!
As Yogi Berra once said "Predictions are difficult to make especially about the future".....he was well known for his malapropisms...
I would say, be careful, but don't worry too much, because you can drive yourself mad worrying about things over which you have no control!
Everyone is concerned or nervous about the future and the unknown.....you are in good company......
You are correct ....trust yourself, and build a community around yourself ....good luck!
Thanks so much for this Holly! I graduated a couple of years ago and have a really good job right now, but it's nothing to do with my degree and I just feel confused about what I want and where to progress in the future! Ah well I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. Stay safe everyone ❤
Holly gets excited about nutrition and the hands are going bright red :D I love you, Holly, you're such a generally bubbly and candid person. I really love that!
I really liked this video and eventhough I'm a few years younger than you it's very relatable. I started university this year and (after a lot of doubt) I study landscape architecture because I thought it would be the perfect combination between learning things and being creative. But I got the feeling that I was wasting my time every semester because it just didn't feel like I was learning anything (especially in comparison to high school, where I took a lot of classes). And now I think of studying biology because I'm sure I will feel like I'm learning something then. But I'm really unsure about what I would want to do after studying biology (because I don't think I would like doing research) but maybe I shouldn't worry to much about the future that far ahead. I'm also scared that I am going to choose biology without enough passion for the subject, or that I won't like it because there is no creative part there. As you probably see I'm overthinking everything. But I actually just want to say that it is really nice to see a video like this from you, especially because you are a biology student. Okay sorry for this whole paragraph haha, Thank you! :)
Oftentimes Holly the correct decision stops being that shortly after making it lol and that's why your "go with the flow" approach is spot on! Whatever you end up doing career wise, you will no doubt rise to the top because of your intelligence, but perhaps more because of your passion!
Regardless of whatever the content of any video might be, you always nail it when it comes to putting and/or keeping things in perspective and that will serve you so well in the future.
Thank you for caring like you do and for sharing yourself with us Holly. STAY SAFE and stay well 🤞
Holly what a true, honest and transparent thoughts you got. I am really amazed and motivated as well with your life. I have been following you since you weren't in Cambridge even. Thank you for this video
I like the Unknown because it is just that an unknown.
No one knows thus its an opportunity.
The unknown in my opinion is up to you!
Hope I got my thinking across! Love the videos, keep pushing forward!
Could you do a virtual fan meetup or a lifestream?
I love you holly ❤ always motivating, inspiring and supporting us on the right time😘
Thank you for sharing! Always remember Jesus loves you! And Gods got a plan for you🙏🏾❤️
this is what I want at this time. thanks Holly so much😊😊
Holly, I think you are soooo right. We don’t have to rush, just go with the flow ~
HI Holly! I have been watching your videos for about 2 years I think, maybe more... And I haven't seen your videos for a while! So this week I wondered how you were, what was happening with your life etc, so I came to your yt and the first video I saw was this one. It ressonated with me on SO MANY LEVELS!!! I am in med school, and with this virus pandemic, our classes became online. Being at home with those classes, not feeling motivated to do my assignments, I really started to think if medicine is really for me. I am in a process of figuring out what I really want, just like you did. Anyways, your video helped me a lot! I feel less alone now, hope you do too! Kisses from Brazil.
wow Holly.. I just feel as it's me talking in the video. there are so many similar things between us, I overthink as well, can't make decisions and uncertainty scares me. I'm doing a degree in Biology as well and don't know what to do next.
All my friends have it sorted out, some are in medicine, some engineering etc and they don't have to think too much about it.
For me on the other hand, the future is a big blur.
I'm thinking of doing masters and phD too, but I don't like teaching (and scared to do so)...
anyway, this video came to me in the right time.. thank you!! xx
Girl, you look so pretty in this video!!
thank you for this video Holly, for me I know what I want but I don't know how to make it happen. this video comforted me and let me know that things will work out even if it's a slow process, everything will be okay, sending love :)
The University of Glasgow has excellent Nutrition Phd and Clinical Nutrition MSc(MedSci) programmes. It does not have Australia weather though...diving needs thermal lined drysuits.
I am a very recent addition to your audience but I've come to love your videos so much.With the perfect grades and rejections all encapsulated in your channel,you seem like a very tangible inspiration,something we can all be(of course with your unrelenting dedication).
I hope you know you're keeping a lot of spirits alive with yours.
❤❤
No matter even if your pace is slow, keep moving on but never stop!
I got rejected by basically all big accounting firms in London, but I think I will keep applying, but sometimes it is just so frustrated. Especially when you are an international students who does not have family here and also have been rejected at the final stage
This video reflects my thought process at the moment so well. I'm just not sure what to do with my studies and future and change my mind every day. It's driving me crazing! Thank you for showing me that there are other people out there going through the same thing :)
Hey holly, I have been at these state of fear of not being able to control everything and that's the main reason I'm super afraid to socialise cos you can't control what other people think about you or how they react. But because of that, I decided not to care about how others think about me but be the best version of myself. Career-wise, I have been a freelancer since I started college and it has been 3 years. The reason why I liked freelancing is because I get to choose jobs and manage my own working time rather than being managed. I once wanted to try out for a fulltime job but the fear of being managed and controlled just scared me. Despite the uncertainty with income for freelancers, esp because of the virus, I was then convinced that I actually love my job and cut out the thoughts of having a fulltime job.
life's uncertainty is what gives it meaning. I really hope you find and achieve, whatever you desire and work for. Stay safe and blessed
Thank you so much Holly. I needed this!
Please make more of these kind of videos. But of course take your time, I know it's something that comes naturally.
Thanks Holly!! This is just in time! I just finished my application season and am struggling with my decisions of masters or PhD offers (and now also have to face this pandemic...) The trust is what really helps I suppose, thanks for sharing, really!
holy shit. this is exactly what i was thinking about before seeing the notification. thank you so much for this video!
I've been feeling lost for 6 months, now this pandemic has arrived it's made it worse lmao. I graduated last year in Tourism Management and moved to Germany, but couldn't get a job in any sector (even supermarkets, call centres or cleaning) let alone in Tourism. I do have a job at a tutoring centre tutoring English but the pay is so poor and I only work 3 hours a week, but it's my only choice of a job right now. Your videos help a lot to keep my chin up. :)
@Lateisha Thanks. :) I'm gonna need it haha :P
Hey holly!! I have recently started watching your videos.. and just wanted to tell u that u really inspire me to study harder
you expressed it so beautifully! thank you :)
You are always on the perfect time ❤🌨
Holly, I really look forward to all of ur ideas...it was only because of u that I started making a to-do list and actually planning my stuff out. Thanks LOT ..
You look great today, full of satisfaction and confidence.
We have got this!! Ayy! Just walk together ....,,😀
You can't possibly know how much I needed this. I finished university last year and I've been struggling about what to do next ever since. Right now I'm applying to universities in the UK and I don't know if I'll get accepted which makes me very anxious. However, I just try to focus on the application process and let things develop organically. If I'm a good candidate I'll get in and if not, I'll have to think of other options.
Thank you for this video!!
What I am interested in is what your parents told you to do. My parents for example are divorced. My mum tells me to take my time and do whatever i love to do. My dad tells me to finish education as fast as possible and get a job in which i earn much money. Holly, did your parents told you what to do and in what extend did you fulfill their wishes? I feel lost at the moment... I finish school this year and don‘t know what to do... Thank you for sharing this video with us!
hello! so my parents give me advice but they always just want me to to find the things that i really enjoy doing! therefore my advice to you would be to listen to what they have to say, but ultimately your future is YOUR decision! it's not their life, and obviously they just want the best for you, but please follow your heart! 💚
Thank you so much for your advice! I really appreciate it🥰 Also, I find your videos very inspiring 😇
Thank u so much Holly , I need it 😔
I had a panic attack about this last night so this video is very much needed
Holly this is exactly what I needed thank you!
Hey Holly! Really needed to hear this today! Thank you so much for this video and all the very best to you!
Loved your positivity ❤️
Love that shirt❤️
thank you! courtesy of urban outfitters in the men's section ✌🏻
Its so difficult to follow your interests at times and do what really moves you , me i dont have that luxury just because i had a slight interest in biology my parents think that i should become a doctor , i dont even know if i should become one ,they say it has money and nothing else matters more than money .
I resonate with this SO much!!! Absolutely loved this video Holly, thank you so much ❤️
hello from Saudi Arabia . i liked your video and gives me a lot of ideas thank you
Thank you for the video! Yes it is a stressful time but we will get through this! ❤️💪🏻
OMG you real inspiring
i do'nt know what will happen in the future ,so i just can do my best now.
I am preparing for my exam on 1st July,it was suppose to be on 13th May but I must take it as blessing in disguise
Glad you are figuring out what career u want to go for!
Your videos are so inspiring
You are amazing❤❤
You inspire me a lot
Been stuck in circles regarding decision making
Related so much to this video
Hi Holly. I hope the best for you. :D
I have been following you for a while now. You are an inspiration.
The right video at the right time!
I have been watching u since very beginning and your videos are just perfect. Like everything i want to watch. And today this video was something i needed . I'm in the same situation . Gap year . Um idk how to express myself. But thank you♥️
You say all the right things 💜
Thanks for sharing this!! I'm at the same point in life, and you can't imagine how much it helps hearing all this! Btw it would be great if you could make some podcast recomendations (like the one you mention at the beginning of the vlog) 😄
This was just the video I needed to watch this evening ❤️❤️ feeling so uncertain about what to do next year after my honours degree. I’d like to do master but not sure if I want to jump straight into it. Just feeling a little exhausted tbh but we shall see what the future holds ❤️
I've been waiting on this video Holly!! That is perfect for you!!
I think everyone has experienced this in their lives, and I was no exception. One year ago, I was very lost. But I always knew that I wanted and that is to help people, some way or the other. A few months ago I knew what to do. Can you guess? I'm going to med school. 🤓🤫❤️
Real inspiration right here👀
Marine biology seems sooo nice...
I really needed this right now thank you x
hi holly! thank you for the video! this is encouraging and inspiring! :)
Hi I am from india, u r a great inspiration , thanks for making those study videos
wow.. I just thought that I felt lost and hopeless about future, and then I saw your video:) thanks )
I really needed this holly! Thankyou so much. Here in India everything has just shut exams i hv been working on might get cancelled and i just feel my plans falling apart but as you said we all in this together! All the love to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️ stay safe🙃
I really wanted to be a heritage conservator, but if my country didn't have finances for it before, it won't have any after either, so I'm afraid I am wasting time studying all those things I love
Thank you so much for this video, I feel so much better. I am studying chmistry at uni and I still don't know which career path is right for me
Feel better now, thank you :)
Hello holly... you upload videos knowing my inner voice😁lots of love from India
Thank you for sharing your experience! I
I really want to be that honest with myself. ...I still have a long way toward my future or the person that I want to be.
I'm a medical student so the road has been drawn for me for many years , but not anymore , I don't know what specialist I'll become or where I'm going to take it , when I'm going to start my master , or even if I'm going to be strong through all of this ! Am I going to regret my decision or am I going to love it there
Also I'm kind of starting my own Webcomic which I love doing and making am i going to leave behind like you did with your dancing life , am I going to regret this ?will I have time for this ?
Nothing is certain... at this age we all relate to this feeling
