'Companionable silence' is a very special and important thing - very heartwarming to hear you give it a shout out. 😊 Jade, even without the classes, the assignments and the dissertations, from watching your vlogs it seems to me like the whole Minerva thing of experiencing different countries and cultures and communities is an incredible education in and of itself - do you feel this?
It's crazy how much of a difference it makes starting the day with intentions and reflecting! It's like the only way to make every day matter and all feelings valid. Thank you for sharing this
I am a 3rd year law student from South Africa and honestly its been the hardest things because I do remote learning and I have tried to find a "community" but it just feels like no one matches my interests,values and motivation for life it's lonely and most days are better than others. Your journey has taught me so much and I really can't wait to see more. Part 2 please❤️
This is such a positive challenge! I feel like there are so many challenges that promote productivity, but none that simply focus on mindset & thinking about intentions! Thank you for the inspiration! xx
I'm starting a new job tomorrow after working for such a horrible and toxic company for 2+ years and terrified and excited at the same time. I had to take 4 months of break, I am broke, depressed and mentally so unstable. But I was just telling myself that I want to regain my trust and be happy again and I'll take this new chapter as a reset. Definitely doing this tomorrow. Wish me luck ❤❤
A new company can change everything!! i used to work at a toxic company, but my new company makes me happy and excited to go to work everyday despite doing nearly exactly the same job i was doing before! (I'm a vfx artist)
Yes, part 2! My intention for tomorrow is going to be ‘slow’ I think to remind myself to slow down and be present ✨ thanks Jade! We’re grateful you’re part of our community, too.
Jade! I love your content so much but the camera quality has decreased so much, its so shakey and the audio is so much poorer than before- did you change from your old camera?
This is the sort of series I just knew you’d be the perfect person to make. I track casual magic every day and it has had such an impact on my happiness! Can’t wait for part 2 !!! 🥰
Thank you, Jade, for being such an inspiration. Have you tried Notion AI? I think you might be writing your thesis soon, I would like to hear your thoughts on ChatGPT? Look forward to see what you do next!
My word for tomorrow will be acceptance, I've been finding myself in denial of sm stuff so I rlly rlly needed this way of approaching it! thank you Jade, for everything that you do 🧡 I am so grateful for you
Community is probably my most valued asset in studying, currently on that. In my community, we are a class of 20ish people and we all have the same dissertation task this semester and we are very physical as it's a drama/theatre study. During our lectures, seminars and own study times we are laughing, talking, caring and encouraging each other + share our own worries and thoughts about each others BA project. It motivates me to know I have a group of people I can share anything with in regards to the project and that they feel the same way themselves.
I love your videos so much, Jade! It inspires me so much! I kind of did the same thing before but failed 😅watching this video makes me so motivated to do it again! Thank you for posting, it has made my day 🥰
Hey Jade, 'thank you' for making such amazing videos ✨. I absolutely enjoy watching your videos, especially the long formats of the videos makes it more interesting. Because seeing you do the mindful things everyday and living your life so consciously 'inspires' me 🌟. I am grateful for learning so much from you regarding self love and self improvement . I get inspired to study more and work towards my dream life. The video was wonderful. Lots of love 💕 Also please do make part II of this😃
I ordered your study-guide book yesterday, and it was probably the fastest decision I have ever made regarding buying a book. I usually have to think about it for a while, but the way you articulate your thoughts really stuck with me - keep up the great work!
Jade you don't know how much of a big and good influence you are. I am Christian and because of that I carefully filter what I consume on media, not by force but because I know it's good for my overall wellbeing and mental state. That being said, you don't preach about any particular religion but I just feel peace and love and care through your videos, plus an insightful advice you always give along the line. Thank you 🙏 and may God bless you
Love the song playing at the background at the cooking part, it's actually a lo-fi version of a Dutch song "Wij Houden Van Oranje" which means "We love the Dutch (national football team)" :D
Gratitude and optimism are such powerful tools in our toolbox which we take for granted. Just feeling positive and thankful towards the niceties in challenging tasks and periods in our life can unburden so much of our load and keep us fresh and able to enjoy the casual magic around us ✨. My friends at college call me weird for calling new assignments and dates for tests 'fun', but they don't know they are missing so much bliss 😉. Thank you Jade for helping me get this mindset! 🙏 BTW, my word intention for tomorrow is 'Focus'⚡.
I find it really nice to see how you deal with the downs (and ups) of uni life and life in general, atm I have so much work that I'm struggling to find the time to spend with my friends even though I know I need to, I'm going to try and plough through most of my work and then see people, tho I might try what you're doing in your video and see how it helps me in my Hell Semester 💖🤣
Yeah, we absolutely want the part 2, please make it. I really appreciate it but a bit I wanted to know what is the music that is at the end of all of your videos, every time I hear it I am completely overjoyed. I really want to know from a long time.
I swear you just uploaded the video about getting accepted to Minerva. How is this your last semester?? Crazy how time flies. Really enjoying these Taipei videos:)
I love your background music so so much. It could be my study playlist. Study playlist nowadays just be like kind of sleepy beats. I love how this beats would do their jobs to wake me up and stay focus. It would be nice if you tell me where I can get this playlist.🥹
hey jade!! my name is Micaela and I am from South Africa. My first language is Afrikaans( similar to dutch). I am learning dutch because my fiancé is Belgian. They speak flemish but its basically dutch. Anyway haha. I was searching "learn dutch" and some of your videos popped up. I watched some of your videos where you try to speak dutch with your family, and then just started watching other videos on your channel. I just want to say that I love your energy and you are so beautiful!! If you have any advice on how to be motivated to learn dutch by myself, would be great haha. even if its close to Afrikaans,its still quite difficult. Afrikaans is very simple, and dutch is a bit more complicated. any advice would help. thank you so much! Looking forward to watch more videos!!
Love watching this weekly uni vlogs!! Just something you might enjoy knowing is that your voice over is only on one channel (left ear) and not on the other one😊
Hi Jade! I love your channel I’ve been following you for years now and you really inspired me to work hard to achieve my dreams I actually just started my own RU-vid channel about my journey as a beginner artist 👨🎨 Hope I’ll be as successful as you one day❤
Hey Jade! I'm pretty sure you're not going to reply me, but in any case I'm trying my luck 😊 . As a fellow polyglot I love your language learning content. I'd like to ask you, are you maintaining your languages that you've learned? Also, are you planning to make more videos related to the science of language learning? 😊🥰😘
Woah the background music you're using is the same melody as a famous Dutch song about 'We love the Netherlands', did you accidently or on purpose let your dutch heritage come through? ;)
PART TWO PLEASE this was so inspirational. Also, loving your taiwan content fr, I've been studying chinese since I was five and I'm really hoping I can visit taiwan this summer
The word I'm choosing for tomorrow is 'empathy'. I work in a very challenging education setting, with teenagers who are often very...well, they're not always pleasant towards me. Showing empathy can make or break a day. I have to remember that they're not giving me a hard time, they're having a hard time!
OMG thank you so much for another inspiring video! I decided to try this method for the following month, and I'm sure it's going to boost my creativity and productivity! ✨♡♡♡

Hiii Jade I'm such a huge fan of yours!!! I love all of the videos they are so inspiring and very educational. Even thought provoking. I also love the way you look at life it's so similar to me! If we ever met I think we would definitely be best friends! I would definitely want to have friends like you in my life!! I would like to start my own RU-vid channel at some point. But I'm just afraid and nervous by the thought of being a RU-vidr!! Also I don't know how to start my RU-vid channel is in what am I going to talk about is there so many things I want to talk about not just one thing. So I would really appreciate it if you could give me some advice and comes of starting a RU-vid channel like what should I learn, what should I know about RU-vid?
I am living on campus accommodation now and sharing bathroom facilities (not with that many people) but still quite a few, and sharing small kitchen with a lot of people. Your videos r really helping me to adjust and move away from the inconveniences to settle in and adjust to the new lifestyle away from family
As a content creator it must be hard not to get any negative comments, but you managed it and honestly, I totally understand why. If I had to describe positivity with one person, it'd be you :) So thank you for being our little ball of sunshine
I'm moving to berlin for a 5 month internship and I'm finding your videos so comforting and reassuring. Thank you so much, it feels like we have a friend in you!
I would absolutely love to see the 2nd half of your week! My intention for tomorrow is "mindfulness" - I hope to wake up early, go on a walk, make myself an omelette, clean my apartment, get ahead on my schoolwork, and overall be mindful about how I'm spending my time and how it contributes to my well-being 😊✨ I also just got your book for Christmas, and I've been waiting to find a good time a sit down and just read 📚🌱
