hi friends!! ✨ welcome to a new week in my life of my FINAL YEAR OF UNI!! I still can't believe it tbh 🙈 get ready for Spirited Away vibes, navigating anxiety (we do love a bit of real talk :')) and studying at the gorgeous library in NTU

@emilielinstewart Год назад

Not sure if you'll see this comment, but here are some of my recommendations on Taipei. There's "Dah Hsian Seetoo Library" at National Chenghi University. It's literally one of the most beautiful libraries I've ever studied in! Also, if you and your friends want to try historical costumes you can at Dadaocheng Story House (it's free ;)), and there's a bunch of cool traditional medicine shops in the area! ALSO SHAVED ICE IS THE BOMB--basically anywhere-- 😊 If you want a cool hike-- near a volcano there's yangmingshan --lots of good tea in that area too. Hope you can enjoy your time in Taipei, and take care of your body/mind. Thanks for the talking about mental health, you're inspiring me to go journal now!!✨✨

It's very admirable how you show the happy moments, but also the anxious scary moments. It makes me as a student, and as a watcher feel incredibly understood and appreciated. We all face hard times, and it is vital to realize that we aren't alone:) Loads of love from Finland to you.

@laladeeladu Год назад

i don't know if it's weird(probably) but i loved how you kept the last footage so raw. you didn't cut off the original audio, you didn't add any music. just the moment as it really was. it felt so real, in fact all your vlogs seem very realistic, no doubt. but something about the last clip; it looked so real, so human. made me smile so much. thankyou so much for sharing jade, you've taught me (and many of us) to cope with things, appreciate *so much more* than i can express it haha. you're amazing.

Love the spirited away vibes🥺 it's also my last semester, so it feels like an ending. We'll miss this part of life :) LET'S MAKE THE MOST OF IT

@nita182 Год назад

my heart is speeding, my feet are tingling! What a crazy emotion to see you at the very same places I went to so many times during my year at NTU, the very same eating hall, the very same library, the very same paths... omg!! I'm so happy and emotional to be watching your life in Taipei!

@daniannlewis Год назад

Hey Jade, I really love that you took a unique approach to Taipei, feeling kind of tired of trying to learn a whole culture in 4 months, but are still enjoying it! You're forever teaching me that there's magic everywhere, and when we relax we can see it so much easier :) love your channel ❤

@zee092 Год назад

I dont know about others But today I could relate with you on another level! The feeling of me not being alone And it is okay if there are days when one feels anxious! And the fact that you captured different emotions (one can go through) so beautifully in this one vlog of yours! I Really enjoy watching your videos And keep up the great work! Take care💛💐

But I also appreciate so much the real talk, its so good to hear someone talk openly about these things, thank you! sending hugs from Poland

Estaba por comentar lo mismo. Es raro que haya dicho que el agua no es potable, justo en Buenos Aires. En otras localidades, es más probable, pero en CABA no

@eleanorhenley97 Год назад

ahhh jade i’ve been so excited for your next taiwan video!! i’m so glad your having a good time- although with your open minded approach to life it would be hard not too!! i’m going to taiwan next week to study and you’re getting me excited!!

You're an inspiration Jade. Thank you so much for your honesty and showing all aspects of life. The ups and downs and everything in between. I've had some serious struggles for a while now. It's not easy. But you help remind me to stay true to your inner self and to accept whatever is, only then we can grow🙏💕

Hi Jade, thank you sooo much for sharing. I am in my exam weeks right now for university and I have been suffering with anxiety for way too long. It helps a lot to hear that I am not alone, especially on social media. I wish you only the best. Lots of love from Germany!

@vlada3028 Год назад

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your feelings with us, it helps us to process our feelings better🥰

@missb2537 Год назад

Beautiful vlog. Thank you, Jade, for all the good vibes! More importantly though, I listened to your podcast ep and I honestly liked it so much. All the real stuff that goes straight to the heart… Your writing makes it very easy to listen, yet reflect on one’s own experiences; all together with a positive outcome. It was a bit of an eye opener [how we deal with and overcome certain things in our daily life] and left me calm and relieved in the end. 👍

@bhagwanmalhotra5909 Год назад

hi jade i am currently studying in high school in india and i dont know why but i connect a lot with your videos.. the way you process your emotions (journaling meditating and yoga) felt very connected to me.... thanks a lot for sharing such things ✨✨✨✨✨

@serena_bee Год назад

You’re very in tuned with your body and your emotions. It’s fascinating how you can automatically feel when something is off or anxiety is creeping in. Seeing you be honest about it, and having such understanding friends is motivating. ❣️ This too shall pass, steady progress is still progress. 🥂

@madinay3911 Год назад

Wow Taipei looks so beautiful. Especially the nature but also the streets. Also, thank you for sharing the hard side of your life. Life is not always beautiful but we can make it beautiful❤️

@yasminceleste3844 Год назад

I honestly never thought of Taiwan as a place to visit but your videos are making me want to visit it so much! The hike and the day trips looked stunning! All the best for your final few months of uni - it's the last ones for me too! xx

@MaCP2988 Год назад

Seeing your videos I can realize that great to see the simplicity of life (a roller coaster of emotions) and wanting to do everything to be a soul in motion (you). To understand that we are a bottle of emotions (inside) together with a being that wants to be in constant search (material, spiritual, professional, etc.) (outside), takes us to a constant game of "walking the tightrope" balancing the things of life in the best way. Thank you for sharing your transformations, your growth, your joys, your fears, your anxieties and your most treasured victories, all that characterizes the human being and sometimes we forget that it is our nature to "FEEL". I wish you the best path of transformational and beautiful growth that you can have. Good lucky you world traveler.!!

@qmuhammadahmed Год назад

Nature is, and always will be, the best place for us to recharge because it is there where we are closest to us: body, mind and ourselves as human beings. Going into nature is just like being home with people and things we know, love and enjoy spending time with. A mixture of dawn and nature is the best medication we can prescribe ourselves. 🌅

@sofibenzo Год назад

hi Jade!!! Buenos Aires tap water is in fact drinkable! At least, for what I’ve known of, I’ve been drinking it my whole life lol. Unless you didn’t like the taste, which it’s totally valid. You can always come back try it again haha. Sending you love!! Hope you have the greatest time in Taipei!

@97lici76 Год назад

I'm not much of a commenter under videos but I really want to say that I appreciate it whenever you talk about anxiety and not feeling well (15:58). For around 20 hours I have been feeling terrible. First I was angry at my mum for selling most of my bookshelves at home (I had to move out because of uni) without even asking me. Then other things of my past were triggered and on top of these some things happened that support the negative narrative. I thought that I was able to cry it all out last night but the emotions came back this morning... What you say about sitting it out is the exact thing my therapist suggested me: Face your fears; they won't go away but the next time you face them they've become weaker and so on. I guess I should journal now. This is what usually helps me. Have a great day and week! 💖Yesterday I stumbled upon the song L - O - V - E by Nat King Cole. It's really sweet. ☺💕

@lilyinnetherlands2987 Год назад

I am about to leave Taiwan for my master degree and start the new life in another country.The very last night in my own bed I am watching your video and it just gave me so much courage and realism. I know I dont have to pretend happy all the time and it's normal to suddenly feel lost and experience undefined sorrow when I am abroad. Thank you for showing the geniune YOU and the tips to get calmness.

@thuyhoang5243 Год назад

Taiwan is a beautiful and peaceful country, i have been staying here for 4 years and still don’t feel leaving yet. Nice place to make friends even though seeing people coming and leaving is really sad. And I also found my new hobby which is hiking while living in Taiwan. The transportation is so convenient, it’s easy to go for one day hike from Taipei. Btw, hope you will have your best time in Taipei 🎉❤

Hi Jade ! Thank u so much for your honesty about your anxiety and everything. You can't even imagine how you help me by sharing this, by sharing your tips, how you manage it, and that you're are still very happy and active at some moments, and at others moments just IN THE anxiety. I always wonder how you deal with all your activities, I mean your days seem to have no end !! how do you manage studying, sharing on IG and YT every week and visiting a country at the same time ?

@julieenglert3371 Год назад

I‘m just wondering if that white cake you‘re eating near the beginning is a radish cake. My husband is an ABC 😅 (Australian born Chinese) and we eat a cake like that quite often in certain Chinese restaurants. You can also buy the white radishes from Chinese grocery stores over here. They are not small like normal radishes though. They are huge in comparison - bigger than carrots! And of course they are white!

@sanahafsa1118 Год назад

Never made it this early! Jade, if you read this I want you to know that you and your content truly make my life better by inspiring me and helping me feel less alone. For anyone reading this (and for myself): There can be times where we all feel low, and are relatively not doing as much as we know we could be, but it’s important to remember that life comes with constantly wavering ups and downs, and we shouldn’t be too harsh on ourselves. In a society that awards “hustle culture”, it can be difficult to accept the slow phases in life, but always listen to what your instincts say, be kind, be gentle, and just take things one at a time.

@faustinadasilvagraca3646 Год назад

Welcome to the final semester! I'm also on my last and its so daunting! I can say that Anxiety can significantly impact your day to day, motivation, university work and so on but its all about accepting that some days you just need to do nothing and in the end from personal experience it works out well. (I do not advice) However, only the deadline pressure of "have to get it done", got me to actually work! last minute sometimes works better specially if you cant focus worrying about the future. Just do your best even if it means taking time out. That is still doing your best :) Also something that helps me personally is the (guided mediation to sleep by Jason Stephenson here on RU-vid).

In Buenos Aires the tap water is drinkable idk who told you that, also if you live in another city or area that doesn't have it you can buy huge water drums from companies (like Mabel) that deliver them to your house, so it's cheaper and more sustainable because when you finish a drum you give it back and they refill it

@MajestiicCasual Год назад

Oh this is so weird, I live nearby NTU and uBike through there a lot (just a few hours ago lol). Really weird to see my daily environment on a big youtube channel. You actually inspired me to take a "gap year" after graduating a few years ago- so I came to TW to travel and teach english before becoming a desk slave in the US. I moved here to save money for a year, but ended up falling in love and never left. Taiwan has amazing nature, culture, and the most beautiful people. There are soooo many good hikes, even around Taipei. Highly recommend a scooter trip around the island if you can!!

@foifoifoi610 Год назад

hi Jade : ) When you would enter a new country each semester, do you leave with about the same amount of stuff you came with? Like your mushroom lamp, will you be taking bigger items like that home with you, or sending it home ahead of time, or donate it before you leave?
