Let’s be friends :)
Hi so I’m fairly new to this but I have been wanting to make friends lately. That’s why I come to these platforms, to feel less alone and make connections. So if you’d like, we can be friends! I hope this doesn’t come across as an annoying advertisement but in case anyone else needs it too, we can support each other in a more casual way. I’m Keira and I’m in my fourth year of Uni and I hope we can be friends 🙂
Hi @Keira12812 !
I'd love for us to be friends - I'm also in my fourth year of uni !
I've seen that you've mentioned in other posts in this thread that you enjoy watching youtube - are there any particular youtubers/types of videos you like to watch the most? I've been going through a bit of a phase with watching all of the TryGuys videos and podcast episodes - I love how feel good they are.
I've also seen that you've mentioned that you like to dance, which is super cool ! What style of dance do you do the most ? I used to dance, but I quit haha - I still go to dance fitness classes though !
Hi new friend, @HappyApples ! 😊
Wow, go us! How many years have you got left of your degree?
I love the TryGuys! I've watched them for so long now and I appreciate how real they keep things. They're definitely great when getting your mood up and your mind off things. At the moment I've been liking watching music artists as well as movie/TV show reactors and gameplays - it's fun having a buddy to watch things with.
Yes, dancing is so great (especially the kind that you do in front of the mirror by yourself in your room hehe). I don't take classes anymore but I did all the basic genres as a kid. My faves are hiphop and contemporary. I'm not sure what happened but I just get extremely tired these days and too much fitness makes me feel sick :(. That's so great that you're carrying your dancing energy to fitness classes! What styles of dance/s do you like?💕
I might finish my degree end of 2024 or mid-2025 depending on how many units I take this year/next year haha - still trying to figure that out! What about you?
Oh I love finding people who also love the TryGuys! Which music artists do you watch the most? And reactions to which movies and tv shows? I went to a Harry Styles concert in February, so I've been watching back heaps of his old shows on youtube haha!
Hiphop and contemporary are such cool genres! I grew up doing more of ballet and jazz and I always wished I could've tried out contemporary a bit more. I'm sorry to hear that you've been feeling sick when doing too much fitness - have you spoken to someone about why that might be happening?
I'm in my final year! Next year, I'll officially be a licenced primary teacher😄. Do you mind me asking what degree it is that you're doing?
Yay TryGuys! Do we have a fan name? (Triceratops??). I like seeing new rising artists, and their interviews. I findit fascinating to see how their easing themselves into the limelight. I'm quite the Selenator but I generally just love watching celebs playing games on tralk shows haha. That's so cool you got to see Harry Styles live! How was it? I heard that he's really good. I love watching old YouTube vids of artists to see how far they come. Its a good reminder that everyone starts somewhere. I went down a rabbit hole of Ariana Grande's old live performances once and the hardwork is really inspirational.
Some of my fav movie reactors on YouTube is "JV's Galactic Adventures" and "BillyBinges". It's really fun seeing first time reactions to my favourite movies😊, mostly disney and pixar. I've watched gameplays of "Life is Strange", "The Walking Dead" and "Among Us" with players like Pewdiepie, Daz, Jacksepticeye and TiffyQuake.
Ballet is so respectable in my opinion, it's so hard!! But I love watching it. Jazz is really cool too! Thanks so much for listening to my interests and for your concern about my health🥺, I have gone to a doctor about it but they apparently said that they couldn't do much. I'm trying my best just to look after myself at the moment by getting better sleep and adjusting my lifestyle so I can get back into my passsions again ❤️
Hey @Keira12812 ! Apologies for the late response - it's been a hectic week of work and assignments!
That's awesome that you're graduating this year - congratulations! I'm sure you'll be an amazing primary teacher. Have you always wanted to work with kids? I'm currently majoring in psychology at the moment within a science degree - it's really interesting stuff!
Haha triceratops would be a great fan name! That's so cool that you follow rising artists - it probably means a lot to those artists too to see that people are following their progress. I love Selena too - she seems like the sweetest person ever. Harry was incredible - he's amazing at interacting with fans; someone even got engaged at the concert! It really is inspiring to see how far artists like Ariana and even Harry have come - I remember in like 2011 or 2012 Harry did an interview saying that he wishes he was someone who didn't care what people thought about him but that he just didn't think that he was that type of person (this was after he got a lot of hate on twitter), and seeing him now and how comfortable he is with himself is so nice.
I'll need to give movie reaction videos a go sometime! I'll keep those reactors in mind - it seems like a really cool way to share your interest in a movie with someone, even if it's indirectly. Do you have any particular favourite/comfort movies from Disney or Pixar (or any other ones)? Mine are definitely the Harry Potter movies - I'll never get sick of them.
It's good to hear that you're looking after yourself - I'm sorry that the doctor wasn't able to help much! I hope you feel better soon and are able to do the things you enjoy again!
Hi @HappyApples ! I am totally on the same page with hectic assignment time!! I hope that you're able to look after yourself well enough during this process❤️. We can do it!💪
Thank you so much for the congratulations 😊. What you're doing is so cool! I can imagine that there'll definitely be a lot of obstacles, but I'm sure it's nothing that you can't conquer. I tried to take psychology in highschool and it was so hard so it's very admirable that you're doing it!
I bet Harry was incredible, he always seems to give the best service to his fans which is really professional and caring of him. And that's not the first time I've heard of a proposal at his concert😂. That must have been so special. I've always been inspired by how uniquely himself he is so I'm so glad that he feels he can be creatively free.
Try out movie reactions if you'd like! But I understand it's not for everyone, so let me know how your experience goes. I had to take a while adjusting to it. Omgg I love Harry Potter too - we have quite a few things in common! I love movies that make life seem so special like The Lion King and Hercule's 'I Can Go The Distance" song.
Thank you! I've been trying to solve this health thing on my own and cure my insomnia. I've going quite well actually, I think I'm just sick of being sick so I'm really trying to make a change in my life :).
Hi, @ruby_t ! Yess, he's been hilarious since his vine days haha.
I love to do art! All things creative, dancing, music clearning and decorating. Most of my time is filled with studying and looking after myself though. What are some things you like doing? 😊
I like doing photography and film- so literally taking photos and videos of anything but wanting to be more creative with it so it can go towards my career.
im doing a couple of courses online at the moment
i like music, dancing and cleaning too 🙂
how are you looking after yourself ?
That's super cool! I find film so beautiful - goodluck with all your projects and journey to using it in your career! I also take pictures and videos of everything. Sometimes I wonder if I'm not living in the present moment but it's really a way of appreciating the beauty in things. What makes you love film and photography so much?
Do you prefer studying online as opposed to a physical classroom?
Yay, I'm glad you feel the same way! Why not put them all together and dance to some music while cleaning haha.
I'm trying to look after myself by getting better sleep, taking the time to brush my teeth properly and not just rush through the essentials. I do like to do hobbies but I am trying to put my health first this year 🙂.
Hey @Keira12812
I would absolutely love to be friends! So nice to meet you (virtually haha).
I am also at uni, I'm currently in my 5th year. How are you finding the semester so far? I feel like it's all going by so fast already. Would love to hear more about what it is you're studying.
Hi new friend @the_helpful_homie !😊 Wow, 5 years ~ go you!! My semester has been super busy even though I'm taking less classes this time... Life sometimes gets really busy in general though, doesn't it? It's definitely going by really fast! I'm trying to appreciate the present time and where life is at the moment while we still have it. I'm doing Primary Education Specialising in Creative Arts. What are you studying and how long have you got to go? ♡
Hi @Keira12812 👋
It would be so great to be friends and get to know each other! What are you studying?
I'm in uni too, in my third year at the moment.
What kinda things do you enjoy doing? 😄
Hey new friend @snuggery ! 👋 Good on you for making it to your third year so far! It's not always easy balancing life with assignments. I'm studying Primary Education, Specialising in Creative Arts. What are you studying?
I really enjoyed anything the arts growing up - dance, music, drawing. I also enjoy just playing games for fun and watching YouTube to be lazy! How about yourself?😃
Ah thanks for the kind words @Keira12812 and good on you too for making it to the fourth year, shows so much dedication! Ooo that sounds great, its nice that you're able to specialise in something you've always been passionate about. Have you enjoyed your degree so far? 😊
I'm doing a Bachelor of Psychology with Honours at the moment. It can be pretty tough sometimes but rewarding too.
Your interests sound so awesome! I also have an appreciation for art, although I'm not the most artistic I feel like I've got a creative side and did a lot of art stuff back in high school. I love music too, what kinda genre/s are you into? 💭
Haha same, love watching Youtube to be lazy too. I've been into youtube for so long now, I feel like I've grown up with it. Is there something in particular you like watching on there? 😄
Aw thanks so much, @snuggery ! I sometimes have those moments where I feel like I couldn't possibly make it through hard assignments so I feel like making it this far really is an accomplishment - do you ever have these moments too?
I think I am enjoying my degree so far, but this might not be my dream job so I am flexible with where life takes me.
Wow, what you're doing is impressive! I'm sure it can be tricky, but I respect that and I'm sure you're going to influence the world in a really great way with your knowledge and skill 😊.
Being creative is something I'm trying to get better at. I've got the skills to copy something really well but it's often hard to be original. What kind of art did you do in high school?
These days, I've just been really enjoying lowkey-vibey music to keep me chill from the busy life. For example, artists like 'Hayd', 'Giveon', and 'WILLIS' are really cool. What kind of music are you into?
Yess, YouTube is the best. I grew up watching Nigahiga but now I really enjoy watching movie/TV show reactions and gameplays - it makes me feel less alone. What do you like watching?😇
Oh yes I definitely have those moments too, I feel like it's constantly about just getting through those tough assignments and exams. I have this assignment I'm finding difficult right now that's due next week and I'm stressing! But I know it will be over before I know it 😄
I'm also in the same boat, unsure if this is my dream job so staying flexible to where life takes me too. Nice to know I'm not the only one haha. Thanks so much for the kind words too!
It's great that you're trying to get better at being creative, it can be tricky to be creative sometimes I think. I used to do lots of drawing, painting and mixed media type of art. One thing I remember doing a lot was going out in nature and creating art with things in nature which was pretty fun. Sometimes I like to do some paint by numbers canvases which is a little easier since it's all ready for you to paint and follow the guide. 😌
I love lowkey-vibey music too! Those artists you mentioned are so great, I've heard their stuff before and it's definitely my kinda vibe. I'm into indie music too. For me my favourite artist is Tame Impala. I also really like Spacey Jane, Cub Sport and Beach House. Not necessarily indie but I also really like The Weeknd and Don Toliver's music. Do you have any songs that you never get sick of? 😊
Oh yes I remember Nigahiga! Movie/TV show reactions and gameplays are awesome. What kinda games do you enjoy? It's lovely that content can make you feel less alone, I feel that too when I watch things I enjoy. I like watching some true crime and lifestyle/self care kinda vlogs and hauls. One of my favourite youtubers is Kendall Rae and she has a podcast which I really enjoy where she does true crime and unexplained phenomena type stuff. I also just watch random stuff that pops up here and there haha, depends on the mood. 😄
Yes, it's always a good idea to think about the accomplishment and freedom you get when you hand in an assignment! I hope it went well for you.
I think it is nice to keep an open mind because you really just can't predict the future sometimes. I try to tell myself there are others who are lost too but sometimes it really doesn't feel like it. I'm also glad you feel the same way!
Doing art in nature always sounds like such a cool idea! I'm not sure why, but I just can't manage to create art well when I'm outside - I need to be confined in my room with no noise and distractions. But I would love to hear what kind of art activities you did that you can recommend I try! I'm also starting to get into colour by numbers because it's so relaxing and you don't have to work too hard about making sure the image is right :).
I love Tame Impala and the Weeknd! I'll definitely have to give those other artists a try and let you know what I think. I reckon I'll never get sick of Selena Gomez' songs haha she's got some hits and nice underrated songs too. How about you?
I miss Nigahiga but it's so unrealistic for him to continue the way he was since he's constantly growing like all of us. I just hope he's well and happy. I really enjoy story-based games like Life is Strange, The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us. I'm a bit scared of crime but get curious sometimes. And I love vlogs and hauls! Do you have some vloggers you like especially for certain moods? Kendall Rae sounds really cool, I'll check her out! And yes, the beauty of algorithm are the random videos you come across hehe :P.
Hi @Keira12812
Sure, I would love to be your friend! 😊 I’m also currently at uni.
How is it going at uni so far?
Hi new friend, @Blueberries ! Uni definitely has its ups and downs, especially with assignments and balancing mental health and life. But I feel like we can only grow from it all - how is uni going for you?😁
Hi @Keira12812 I agree. So far uni has been quite overwhelming for me in terms of the assignments and one of the tests that I have to re-do next week (and it was a hard test for sure lol). But the good thing about it is that it does keep me busy and productive throughout the days better than if we were to stay at home all day and have nothing to do to keep us busy 🤭
Btw I am studying part time whilst unemployed but the amount of workload we still get from this semester especially is quite overwhelming because some (or maybe most) of the assessments that we’re given are hard to do but I guess that pretty much applies for every courses haha!
Right now I’m just 2 weeks away from completing this semester of the course so at least I was able to get around almost most parts of the assignments done. 😊
Wow, you should be incredibly proud of yourself for persevering @Blueberries . It's definitely not easy but you're right, it's better than staying home. I hope you find the strength and inspiration to keep going, goodluck on your re-do test!
Even for one assignment, it can seem so massive, can't it? But just think about all the hard assessments you've done so far that you thought were extremely hard but still did!
You're so close to the finish line! Cheering you on🥳
What do you like to do in your spare time when you're not studying?
