Covid was difficult and I felt exactly the same as you did in the first year of working life but now the world is opening back up again, adult life isn't so bad. Big scary step but we're powering through💪🏻💪🏻

@onehumanfromearth5063 2 года назад

The checklist life! It's living by others expectations too much in my opinion. It takes practice but it's learning to say no, also shaking off the social pressures and doing your own thing and being okay when others don't approve or are indifferent to it. It come back to finding a balance.

@Intia777 2 года назад

I have struggled with the exact same thing, Paige! As I’ve gotten further onto my twenties and started a full-time job, I’ve slowly become a check-list person who can’t enjoy the little things in life, only thinking what needs to be done… What has helped with this is making up rules (ironic, I know) for the weekends, like banning the use of actual check-lists and playing it by the ear.

@omkarmantri7350 2 года назад

about the checklist problem, I completely get it. I feel like I have to organise everything into lists and flowcharts. but at some point the checklist will become second nature, slightly more spontaneous. you're life will become more a series of fleeting, exciting and beautiful moments.

Paige I haven’t watched any videos of yours for a while but have been watching on & off since you started uni - my overwhelming impression from this video is how much you’ve matured and you seem very sure of yourself nowadays. It’s really nice to see you growing up so well, (i’m only 25 myself so not in a patronising way). Best of luck for the future xx

Hi Paige, I can recommend you to buy the Alpine Sleepsoft earplugs. I'm a difficult sleeper myself and woke up from every noise. I've tried many different earplugs to find out which worked. These earplugs are the best ones I've ever had and are comfortable too. They are suitable for different ear sizes and also last for quite a long time. I've been buying them for several years now.

@silvialogan9226 2 года назад

When I was a student at University studying for both my Bachelor degree and Master's degree, I found it very stressing with the large amount of work which I had to do. I was worried about not being able to study for my mid-terms and final exams not finishing my essays and dissertation on time because I always struggled with essays.

@PaigeY 2 года назад

Student life can be stressful. A relief to be out the other side I’m sure!

@dannyclarke6637 2 года назад

Well done as always Paige! Good luck and have a lovely Christmas! 😀😀🎄🎄

@TwinGeeks 2 года назад

You sound so overwhelmed, even the way you talk about parties at your house as exhausting and a drain on you. You need to stop feeling like you have to do things, and to make more time for yourself. Turning life in to a check list means you're not present in it. Try and find some social things that are relaxing, like Netflix watch parties where you watch a film together but on your own. Or something that's a slower pace, like pub quizzes or crafts. I learnt how to crochet and found a class for this, it sounds granny-ish but it was so relaxing, just six people sitting together and having tea and chatting whilst learning. Something I wish I'd known is that you don't have to stay in house shares if you're not comfortable. Landlords will release you from contracts if you can find a replacement tenant (you can put up notices for this or ask around). You need to put yourself first instead of worrying what others will think of you. Two friends of mine who graduated Cambridge this year and wanted to stay on rented a two-bed flat overlooking the river and it's completely affordable for them on entry level salary for their jobs. It's such a nice space. Ground floor bedrooms that are part of the communal space are always the worst in any house share, and also the least safe. I am frankly surprised the guys are all upstairs and you're the one in this room, my male friends would never stand for that.

@rosepeterson3124 2 года назад

12:00 I can relate to this as well! When I moved out for the first time, I couldn’t feel myself at home at that place either and only viewed that flat as “a temporary place to live in”. I don’t know your situation, but maybe you know deep down that you won’t be living there for long or maybe you only go home to sleep so you don’t spend enough time there.

@shellyb5014 2 года назад

I think people discount the post-college adjustment phase… you’ve been a student all of these years with expectations, deadlines, no real responsibility.. when you’re free, some people flounder or wonder what’s next. I think relaxing and taking your time to plan your life takes time and practice. RELAX! There’s no next steps.. this is life.. work and sleep 😂🥴

I feel that „life seems to be a checklist atm“ so much. I will try bullet journaling from January on and try to fill the journal with memories. I bought a journal off etsy with beautiful designs that I hope I enjoy using and helps me lose the checklist feeling a bit. 😬

@PaigeY 2 года назад

I’ve never tried bullet journaling before but now you’re really tempting me! Nice idea ✨

@Bibigolgabi 2 года назад

Paige, I totally had this same problem of seeing life as a checklist, even the fun things. It was hard because I couldn't actually enjoy the moments and I felt like I aways had to do more to be happy. But through therapy and my relationship with God, I could understand that I had this mindset because I would put my value in what I did instead of what I was. I thought I needed to prove my worth to be good enough. Thankfully, I was able to overcome it as I understood that I was loved in spite of what I did, and that I was precious to God just by being myself. I hope you can also come to an understanding of why you think like that and be able to overcome it! :)

I know this is kind of unrelated to the video - but I had my Cambridge interview a few days ago, and I wanted to thank you, watching your videos really inspired me to give my all 🥺 good luck in the future! We’re with you the whole way!

Definitely struggling with the checklist problem since starting my PhD - trying to do too much in the very small amount of free time I have at the moment... scheduling in some actual free time where I can do whatever I want has helped to some extent. If you find the solution please share 😂

I literally feels the same, as am pursuing Chartered Accounts, and also working in a professional firm. I make my life as check list when to laugh when to indulge with people when to socialize out when to be serious. I am also into work and that doesn't pay me more.

Paige would be great at most anything, but I think she needs to go back to uni, and work toward getting PHD in Astro/Physics and being university professor. Also, still rooting for Will as boyfriend. Book reading idea for Paige-A confederacy of Dunces, funny part about college professor.

"Hustle culture" and "Grindset" mentalities are very predatory upon hardworking young people like yourself. You have to take care of yourself first and your mental health, try not to buy into corporate propagada.

@amitpraseed 2 года назад

21:47 : "No bonus is worth it for sacrificing my work-life balance". I feel this is something is that we should normalize, because I see so many people (especially in India) spending long hours in the office hoping to go that extra mile. I do understand that some people want to do that, and that is perfectly fine, but lately it has become commonplace to expect that from everyone. Post-covid (is Covid really in the rear view mirror though?) the distinction between office hours and personal time has really blurred to the point of vanishing.

If you are on dating apps in Boston/Cambridge, be warned of a chess player/streamer who is a sex addict and a scammer. Lots of sob stories to get anything you can offer (including $) out of you.
