It’s about time to explain why I left RU-vid and almost dropped out of college. Yeah… this is gonna take a while.
↴ open here for lil' helpful odds & ends! ✉️
Back in January, I announced that I was taking a break from RU-vid. I'll be honest, I was not planning for this break to be so long, but now I'm back! So it's time for an honest explanation of where I've been the past 9 months and what the heck I've been doing while there was near-total silence on all of my media channels. Hehe, oops... Above all, I want to use this video as a chance to thank you if you've stuck around! I'm so happy to be back to creating & feeling like myself again, and knowing that I have this audience to come back to is the biggest and most comforting source of support. It really means the world to me 🥹

It sounds like to me you definitely got what you needed from this! You definitely needed that break to live for a little. But if I’m being transparent ( since you’re like my little sister in my head lol ) girl BYE! YOU ARE KILLING IT. You are still a baby, and should embrace that. But when it comes to a “ career “ let that stress go girl! Trust me, the new approaches and waves you’re going to make coming back to RU-vid is going to be amazing to witness! Second guessing yourself, and feeling “ lost “ is literally apart of the journey. You are lost because you don’t know what’s up ahead yet. An so the only way to know is to do what feels right. An what feels natural to you. Only after you make a move, and live in it, do you know if it was for the good or “ bad “. Don’t forget to give yourself grace, and you built it up once you can do it again. When in reality what is there to build? Lol we’re all right here and ready to support you! An YES we need to start using your name! Beatrice 🎉!

And here is how you just taught a valuable lesson to a 37 yo mom. Loved this video and missed them (and you!) so much. This channel was key in me wanting to continue doing mine and truly admire how you do things. It is so mature that you got to see what you needed at the time - to experience life without thinking in content creation - and im glad you got that. Welcome back!

@sharonhaysanguinetti5823 2 года назад

Love the way you evolved so much in the past 9 months despite of the hardships. From your editing to the way you talk and move in front of the camera, everyting seems to be different. I used to love your videos before but this editing is on another level, feels kind of cinematographic and artistic. Your communication skills are different too. We really missed you! And as someone who dropped out of college twice I'm telling you the unsolicited advice I wish someone had given me back then: don't feel guilty for doing things you feel are necessary for you. You can come back to college, youtube or any other activity whenever you're ready and as many times as you want but nobody is going to give you your mental health back. This kind of self discovery process is very much needed every once in a while. Welcome back girl!

@TheBlissBean 2 года назад

Okay so I'm sitting here responding to all these comments and my favorite sentiment thus far (esp. the way you phrased it in YOUR comment) has been that I seem different! Filming this video did feel different! I can't pinpoint exactly how I've changed, but I"m happy to know that I HAVE changed and progressed in some way :) Thank you so much for your support and kind words!

@dijonnaiegonzalez3548 Год назад

I think the biggest mistake a lot of people in a communications major make is they have a very vague idea of what the industry actually looks like. Know your purpose and what you want to offer up with the knowledge you've acquired. You will feel lost very quickly. In my 3rd year, I was ready to give it all up because I didn't know what life would look like for me career-wise once I graduated. 7 years post-grad I have worked in some great agencies and began growing my branding agency. I too had a great interest in the ethics behind marketing. There is absolutely a place for it and I would even argue you're ahead of the curve my friend. The pandemic shifted the way everyone makes their purchasing decisions and they're even more conscious of it than they were before. Perhaps look into consumer psychology - I myself am headed back for my master's to head in that direction. This isn't an easy industry to be in and you quickly recognize that in college - but your morals and values will be your compass. Best Wishes!

When I saw your video in the suggestions I couldn't believe it and rushed to watch it. Completely understandable that you needed a break!

@patrickferdinand1901 2 года назад

I'm almost grdauating, I just have 2 semesters left and sometimes I do still feel like I'm not "learning" or being challenged by the classes, even tho I've a great job and have had some cool interhips, (I´m also majoring in Communications & Media) , so I totally get what you are saying, the only advise I'd give you is to be patience, get extra courses of classes (RU-vid, Coursera, etc) for when you don't feel like uni is coverig everything you want to know. And I just like to have the reminder that school is preparing you, so you must prepared yourself too! I loved watching you back in YT!

@TheBlissBean 2 года назад

First of all, congrats on graduating soon! and that's a great tip!! Are there any specific extra courses you took or topics that you studied that you enjoyed? :)

@mfgonz 2 года назад

As someone who finished her master's degree in spain this part year as well (I actually found your channel at the beginning of that year) I can say all your frustrations as valid and well founded. Besides every other point made in this video, higher (bachelors and masters) education in Spain is just not it if you compare it with the standards at US or UK universities, for example. I felt the same with my classes at the beginning and was super frustrated because I didn't feel I was being challenged or was learning anything new. The only "good" part of it was the networking but even then It didn't justify the time and money spent on the program. That applies to universities such as IE as well even when they have these high rankings and standards because they're targeting an international audience. Just to say that it's in big part about the country's culture and the way they approach education. I'm glad you were able to spin it around and enjoy the time and experience you have left though! It's all about the mindset, but it's fair to judge the system as well and demand more from it.

@TheBlissBean 2 года назад

Thank you for the insight!! It has definitely been very interesting (and of course frustrating) to compare my experience here with my friends' experiences in the US. And of course I have only attended one university in Spain so I don't know about the rest, so I really appreciate your comment for some extra perspective

@TheBlissBean 2 года назад

also especially love your words at the end, "it's fair to judge the system as well and demand more from it."

@dospuntospe Год назад

Hey Beatrice, I was so happy to see one of your videos on the feed again. You really inspired me, I think we had a similar journey and your videos have always helped me. I started watching them when I started university in Spain three years ago. At the time I was really into productivity youtube, however, the first year was really challenging and discouraging, the pandemic started and I had to deal with some mental health issues, so I took a break from watching productivity videos. Last year I was in a much better place mentally, and I wanted to stay clear of productivity gurus that don't take into account off time and breaks, but your channel was always kind in that regard, so I went to check out what had you been up to. I was so happy to see you leaned even more into the importance of mental health and taking your time in your new videos, and followed your university journey with excitement. This year I left my previous degree because I felt I was stuck, not learning anything and really discouraged, and I'm starting anew in another one, which I'm much more passionate about. I get what you say about feeling like everybody around you is progressing, seeing your friends near graduation or having internships and cool projects, but I truly think it is better to go at your own pace and that your friends will support you either way. Being a freshman at 21 feels kinda strange, but it is also exciting to be doing something you love. I grateful to see you posting again, but taking a break sounds like something you really needed and that it was really good for you, so I'm also so happy about that. All of the best in this new year, I'm sure it will go great! And thank you so much for sharing your experience, it is really inspiring

I also really relate to the thing you said about seeing your life through a lens since the content can possibly be about anything you do in life.. Checking in on myself through journaling really helps me, and also to plan ahead with content ideas, cause then it’s more set in stone which parts I am going to document and when I will leave my camera at home when doing something! Good luck for the future!💛💫

@yacrupni 2 года назад

I totally relate to this feeling of being responsible for your own enjoyment of education! I too am studying while working and pursuing other professional aspirations, and too often school is the last thing on my priority list. There’s so much out there in the world that seems more engaging (and urgent), so sometimes sitting in a classroom listening to things ends up seeming boring or unnecessary. But it’s absolutely true that when I give myself the chance to be present and engage deeply with the classes I come out feeling super excited about learning and I’ve found that having this space can even make me better at everything else I do. I’m always pleasantly surprised by how well you put into words the things that I’ve been feeling but don’t quite know how to express, and I can’t tell you how happy I am to have that back. Welcome and thank you for sharing your amazing content! 💜

@TheBlissBean 2 года назад

Yes exactly!! I am tempted to try and cross other things off my to do list during class, but if I can just power off the other parts of my brain and be fully present in class, it's almost always worth it :)

Feeling left behind compared to your friends and those around you is one of the worst feelings, especially in college. I relate to what you’re saying so much, I’ve been out of college for a few years now and I already want to go back and try something new. Everyone is on their own life trajectory and often times it’s not the one you imagined for yourself. It gets difficult and frustrating but there’s always time to start fresh!!! I’m so happy you’re back, but more importantly I’m so happy you took time away to focus on yourself and mental health. I hope there’s not too much pressure to post content, I think we can all agree your well-being and happiness is the top priority! :)

I was JUST thinking about you (for the dozenth time) and opened youtube, and here you are! I'm so happy you're back and figuring things out to make YOU happy. I took a semi-gap year. Took some community college classes and withdrew. Then I went to a 4-year school that I didn't really want to attend, but back then, it was about getting a 4-year degree (and then a masters, even a doctorate), or you were "wasting your time." (I turned 21 there.) I wound up leaving after 2+ years and went to the school I really needed to go to and should've gone to in the first place. Finished there, got a job the day I took my final exam, and then 2 months later, 9/11 happened, and everything went haywire. The 3 most recent hires were terminated, and my side job at Neopets was yanked unless I was willing to move to California for $10/hr. I wound up coming home to my parent's home and had no flipping clue what I would do. Never went back to that field. Never was able to. But let me tell you, I had been blogging since before they called it that (late '90s) and have worked online in one form or another (or a zillion at the same time) ever since. Don't compare your journey to that of your friends. Your path is yours alone.

I’m so glad you grew and took a break, it sounds like it was beneficial for your mental health, a lot of people get stuck at college with decision making. Beatrice, your amazing of course people still want to watch you!!

It's so good to see you back!! It's so hard taking that time off so well done for knowing what you need and respecting those boundaries 🤗 also that fear that no one will be here to watch/the algorithm hates you now is not true, I took 2 months off RU-vid and the video I made when I came back was one of my best ones! Just keep going with what feels right to you :)

@TheBlissBean 2 года назад

Thank you so much Akta!! hope the YT algorithm is listening right now... hahahaha! that's super encouraging to hear!

While I'm not a collage student, I still relate to this in regards to mental health. Thanks for sharing your journey! I'm happy you made it back to your passions. I look forward to more of your content.

Hi Beatrice, I was very happy to hear that you are posting videos again. I just discovered your channel and I'm delighted with the content you make. Welcome back. Looking forward to the next content here on the channel.

Hi Beatrice, welcome back. This was a great first video after your break, and I hope you feel much lighter now. You know for someone so young I think you have a lot of knowledge snd wisdom. And have done a lot despite what you may have seen your friends doing. Not everyone makes it to University, and not everyone enjoys it either. It's a massive commitment and I think we should just acknowledge that it's ok if your experience was wobbly. It's funny isn't it how hard it is to feel valid without being productive, or without an active structure to anchor ourselves into. Your life experiences are very relatable. Thanks for adding your beingness to my youtube feed today. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by how many people value your channel even when you havnt been actively creating.

It’s so nice to hear from you Beatrice!! Your videos helped me through so many slumps- I’m in such a better place than the last time you posted but this video just reminded me how much your videos have helped me over the years. I hope your semester goes wonderfully, whatever happens ❤

@Marceesoff 2 года назад

I am so grateful for this video ✨I needed it right now. I also took 2 gap years, I started college but I didn’t like it at all and now I’m in the process of applying again and hopefully moving abroad at 21🥺

@TheBlissBean 2 года назад

we are in quite similar places!! I wish you all the luck with that process, and I trust you'll find the right path for you :)

Welcome back! Inertia is such a real thing. I have to say that the time off has really altered your energy. I guess we'll see if it's a permanent thing, but you seem more energetic, more confident and happier. Congratulations on getting back to it. I am in a similar situation. I traveled for two months over summer and haven't made any videos and now I've been back in the studio for almost a month. I've been filming a little but haven't published anything. It feels overwhelming. Hoping you find and maintain your groove (me too, I guess!).

@TheBlissBean 2 года назад

hahaha it did feel quite different to film this video! I'm excited and happy that it seems like I've changed over this time yes, hope you find your groove as well!

@francescakyanda9182 2 года назад

I had a somewhat similar experience, going to my last choice of college for freshman year. I felt isolated from everyone who wanted to be there AND my friends who got into the schools they wanted. I worked my ass off and transferred out, and I'm liking school a lot better now! Changing your environment does wonders, people!

@songbird8778 2 года назад

@emilyotero7425 2 года назад

Welcome back!! I am so genuinely happy to see you posting again! I had similar issues my first year of college, which ended with me moving back home and changing my major. It makes me so happy that you were able to stick it out and end up in such a good place. I wish the best for you and can’t wait to watch you take on this next phase of your life❤️

@oliviasimpson1826 2 года назад

@solj3322 2 года назад

Welcome Back! I totally can understand hearing your name the way it was meant to be; I, too, have to tell people how to correctly pronounce my name; however, when you hear it said correctly, it's such a wonderful feeling! 😆 Again welcome back, and always do what is best for you! I decided to return to school sometime after getting my associate's, and it can be a challenge seeing your friends at different points of our lives. However, know that success doesn't look one way. We all have our own journies, and we're meant to walk and experience our path the way we need to. Best of luck to you!

@TheBlissBean 2 года назад

yes!! So glad you can relate, hehe :) And you're very correct, success can take so many different forms! Thank you

Not gonna lie, I actually strayed away from your channel about 10-11 months ago since I was going through quite a rough time at the time, though I still checked your social media platforms from time to time. It feels refreshing that you're back again. The nasty cold is so relatable. I've had my cold for good 2-3 weeks now and it has gotten much worse and so I had to take some days off from school and work so I can recover properly. I've been sitting on my phone and iPad, laying in bed, DEVOURING content on TikTok and Twitter and it was getting so bad that I decided to just get up and at least sit at my desk and use my laptop instead for a change. I'm very glad you're back again and I can't wait for your upcoming videos! ❤
