Shownotes

What happens when you do everything right and it still does not go the way you planned?

In this Student Showcase episode of Campus Chronicles, Brooke sits down with Madison Crook, a third-year university student and digital marketing creative, to talk honestly about burnout, anxiety, perfectionism, and learning how to let go of impossible standards.

Madison shares a defining campus moment when she organised an event she was deeply proud of, only for very few people to attend. What followed was disappointment, tears, and a powerful realisation that success is not always measured by numbers.

Throughout the episode, Madison opens up about living as an overachiever, working in social media while still at uni, people pleasing in professional spaces, and learning to recognise when stress is taking over. She also shares how she has started separating outcomes from identity and giving herself permission to slow down.

This episode is for students who feel tired, overwhelmed, or like they should be further ahead than they are.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What it feels like when hard work does not get the result you expected

• How perfectionism quietly fuels burnout

• Why outcomes are not the same as self-worth

• How anxiety shows up in everyday student life

• People pleasing in internships and work environments

• The pressure of building a career while still studying

• Why social media creates unrealistic expectations

• What self-care looks like without pressure or aesthetics

• How to stop adding more and start subtracting

• Three honest pieces of advice Madison gives to students

This conversation is a reminder that you are not behind, you are not broken, and you are doing enough.

47

:

It is such a

48

:

pleasure to be

49

:

here with Madison

50

:

from University

51

:

of Connecticut.

52

:

One thing about

53

:

Madison is she

54

:

personally

55

:

inspires me with

56

:

how much she is

57

:

able to manage

58

:

and how much she

59

:

is able to take

60

:

on and make it

61

:

look so

62

:

beautifully

63

:

effortless.

64

:

Madison, thank

65

:

you for

66

:

being here.

67

:

Yeah, thank you

68

:

so much for

69

:

having me, you

70

:

are too kind.

71

:

I wanna jump

72

:

right in, but

73

:

before we do

74

:

that, what is

75

:

your Campus

76

:

Chronicles story?

77

:

I have a lot.

78

:

We like lots.

79

:

Yeah, I'm a third

80

:

year in college.

81

:

I've had a lot of

82

:

really fun

83

:

experiences.

84

:

Not so fun

85

:

experiences, but

86

:

I think the one

87

:

that's probably

88

:

taught me the

89

:

most, I'm very

90

:

much a

91

:

perfectionist.

92

:

When things don't

93

:

go my way, I

94

:

usually do not

95

:

take it well.

96

:

And I hadn't

97

:

experienced my

98

:

sophomore year of

99

:

college where I

100

:

was trying to

101

:

organize an event

102

:

since I was in

103

:

the leadership

104

:

team in my

105

:

learning

106

:

community at

107

:

college.

108

:

And I tried to

109

:

organize this

110

:

panel event that

111

:

I was so

112

:

excited about.

113

:

I did all the

114

:

marketing

115

:

materials for it.

116

:

I tried to pump

117

:

it up as much as

118

:

possible, get the

119

:

word out.

120

:

And we ended up

121

:

having a really,

122

:

really low

123

:

attendance.

124

:

And that was

125

:

really upsetting

126

:

for me since I

127

:

communicated so

128

:

much with

129

:

industry

130

:

professionals in

131

:

the fashion

132

:

space, different

133

:

aspects of the

134

:

fashion space

135

:

that I had met

136

:

along my journey

137

:

in college.

138

:

And I was super

139

:

excited for them

140

:

to get to talk to

141

:

all these kids

142

:

that were in my

143

:

subsection leadership group

144

:

in the BCLC.

145

:

And it was really

146

:

upsetting because

147

:

I put so much

148

:

effort into it.

149

:

I tried so hard.

150

:

I did so much to

151

:

put it together

152

:

and make it

153

:

perfect.

154

:

And after the

155

:

event was over,

156

:

after a lot of

157

:

tech issues

158

:

actually, I just

159

:

sat for a second

160

:

with my boyfriend

161

:

in the room and I

162

:

cried because I

163

:

was like, oh my

164

:

God, like this

165

:

was a disaster.

166

:

Where do I even

167

:

go from here?

168

:

Do I even have to go to the bathroom? Do I try again?

169

:

Like I just felt

170

:

so defeated.

171

:

And that

172

:

experience taught

173

:

me that even if

174

:

something doesn't

175

:

go your way, it

176

:

can still have an

177

:

impact because

178

:

the few students

179

:

that did show up

180

:

told me after

181

:

that they

182

:

learned a lot.

183

:

They got to

184

:

network with the

185

:

panelists that I

186

:

invited and it

187

:

made a difference

188

:

for them.

189

:

So that really

190

:

taught me that

191

:

even if you don't

192

:

have exactly the

193

:

outcome you were

194

:

looking for, you

195

:

can still make a

196

:

difference.

197

:

And you just got

198

:

to brush yourself

199

:

off, try again

200

:

and do better.

201

:

I love that word

202

:

you use defeated

203

:

because that's

204

:

such a visceral,

205

:

like vivid

206

:

description word.

207

:

And I can imagine

208

:

going to all that

209

:

effort, putting

210

:

all that

211

:

together, I bet

212

:

it felt really,

213

:

really

214

:

frustrating.

215

:

And I think too,

216

:

when you're maybe

217

:

a little bit of

218

:

an overachiever,

219

:

I'm gonna just

220

:

say that you

221

:

might be a little

222

:

bit of an

223

:

overachiever and

224

:

you put your

225

:

heart and your

226

:

soul and

227

:

everything you

228

:

have into

229

:

something.

230

:

And I know so

231

:

many incredible

232

:

students who do

233

:

that and it

234

:

doesn't work out

235

:

like you

236

:

suspected.

237

:

It's easy to

238

:

think that you're

239

:

the failure

240

:

versus the

241

:

isolated

242

:

experience.

243

:

How did you

244

:

remind yourself

245

:

in that moment

246

:

going through

247

:

something so

248

:

vulnerable that

249

:

it was not

250

:

about you?

251

:

I think I tried

252

:

to just tell

253

:

myself that I did

254

:

everything

255

:

I could.

256

:

Anything that I

257

:

could have done,

258

:

any person that I

259

:

could have talked

260

:

to that I thought

261

:

might bring more

262

:

attendance to

263

:

that

264

:

event, I did it.

265

:

So I think after

266

:

that experience,

267

:

I just did remind

268

:

myself that I did

269

:

everything that I

270

:

thought

271

:

that I could.

272

:

And it just so

273

:

happened to not

274

:

work out, but

275

:

that following

276

:

semester, we did

277

:

another event and

278

:

I partnered with

279

:

another

280

:

leadership group

281

:

in our learning

282

:

community and it

283

:

went much better.

284

:

We had a lot more

285

:

students in

286

:

attendance.

287

:

We were able to

288

:

put together a

289

:

really nice event

290

:

that I was super

291

:

proud of.

292

:

So I think that

293

:

it is just really

294

:

important to

295

:

remind yourself

296

:

that if you did

297

:

everything you

298

:

could, then you

299

:

did enough.

300

:

And it's not a

301

:

shortcoming or a

302

:

personal failure

303

:

of yours.

304

:

And that's

305

:

something that I

306

:

have struggled

307

:

with my

308

:

whole life.

309

:

I struggled with

310

:

it really, really

311

:

bad though in

312

:

university

313

:

because whenever

314

:

something would

315

:

go wrong, maybe

316

:

not get the right

317

:

grade or

318

:

something

319

:

extracurricular

320

:

just wouldn't

321

:

work out, I would

322

:

feel like

323

:

it was me.

324

:

Like there was

325

:

something

326

:

fundamentally

327

:

wrong with me

328

:

versus realizing

329

:

that it was

330

:

circumstantial.

331

:

Yeah, it's very

332

:

hard to not take

333

:

it personally.

334

:

I'm positive that

335

:

no student who

336

:

heard about the

337

:

event and didn't

338

:

go was thinking,

339

:

oh, she's the one

340

:

hosting, I'm not

341

:

gonna go to that.

342

:

So it's

343

:

definitely hard

344

:

to separate

345

:

yourself from the

346

:

experience, but--

347

:

And I know you do

348

:

a lot of work

349

:

while you're

350

:

still in

351

:

university and

352

:

you're building

353

:

those

354

:

communication and

355

:

those like

356

:

interpersonal

357

:

professional

358

:

skills.

359

:

At the same time,

360

:

as you go to

361

:

school, you

362

:

maintain an

363

:

incredible GPA,

364

:

you take good

365

:

care of yourself.

366

:

How do you

367

:

do it all?

368

:

Because I would

369

:

like to know, how

370

:

do you so

371

:

beautifully and

372

:

effortlessly

373

:

manage all that

374

:

Madison is?

375

:

Yeah, well, I can

376

:

tell you

377

:

firsthand, it is

378

:

not always

379

:

beautiful.

380

:

That's good,

381

:

that's good.

382

:

We're

383

:

getting real.

384

:

Yeah, I

385

:

absolutely have

386

:

days where it's

387

:

really hard for

388

:

me to be able to

389

:

do

390

:

everything at once.

391

:

And I do a lot of

392

:

UGC work and

393

:

social media

394

:

management kind

395

:

of going into

396

:

that digital

397

:

marketing space,

398

:

since that's what

399

:

my degree

400

:

program is in.

401

:

It's very hard to

402

:

get started when

403

:

you are someone

404

:

that has been an

405

:

overachiever,

406

:

like you

407

:

mentioned, I have

408

:

always been the,

409

:

I can do

410

:

everything by

411

:

myself kind

412

:

of person.

413

:

Yes, I'm

414

:

an island.

415

:

Yes, and I think

416

:

it's very

417

:

important to go

418

:

into something

419

:

like that,

420

:

knowing you

421

:

cannot do this by

422

:

yourself.

423

:

It's very

424

:

important to have

425

:

a good support

426

:

system, really

427

:

good friends.

428

:

My boyfriend has

429

:

been an amazing

430

:

support

431

:

system for me.

432

:

My family is

433

:

super, super

434

:

involved in

435

:

everything that I

436

:

do and they help

437

:

me film or they

438

:

lend their voices

439

:

for me to

440

:

make videos.

441

:

And I think it's

442

:

so important to

443

:

have that group

444

:

of people that

445

:

you can lean on

446

:

and just vent,

447

:

just talk about

448

:

it if you're

449

:

getting

450

:

overwhelmed, if

451

:

you feel like

452

:

maybe I should

453

:

take a step back

454

:

from this

455

:

project, having

456

:

another person to

457

:

kind of be a

458

:

sounding board

459

:

for you and give

460

:

you their input,

461

:

they're the ones

462

:

that are with you

463

:

every day.

464

:

They're the

465

:

people seeing

466

:

what you're doing

467

:

and they know the

468

:

toll that it's

469

:

taking on you.

470

:

So I think it's

471

:

really important

472

:

to maintain a

473

:

really, really

474

:

strong

475

:

support system.

476

:

And poker, they

477

:

call it a tell.

478

:

And you just

479

:

talked about when

480

:

you feel that

481

:

you're getting

482

:

overwhelmed.

483

:

What is one of

484

:

your, I'm getting

485

:

overstimulated,

486

:

I'm getting

487

:

stressed

488

:

out tells.

489

:

Is it physical,

490

:

is it mental?

491

:

How do you start

492

:

to know that

493

:

something is off?

494

:

And from that

495

:

space, what do

496

:

you do to get

497

:

yourself in a

498

:

better place?

499

:

Yeah, so I have

500

:

dealt with

501

:

anxiety since I

502

:

was about 14 is

503

:

when I kind of

504

:

recognized it

505

:

because I was

506

:

getting really

507

:

stressed over a

508

:

homework

509

:

assignment and I

510

:

threw my binder

511

:

across the room.

512

:

And it occurred

513

:

to me, that's

514

:

probably

515

:

not normal.

516

:

That's probably

517

:

not a healthy

518

:

reaction.

519

:

So over the

520

:

years, my

521

:

strategy to

522

:

calming myself

523

:

down and

524

:

recognizing when

525

:

I am getting

526

:

stressed out has

527

:

changed.

528

:

College has been

529

:

very eyeopening

530

:

for that because

531

:

I'm able to see

532

:

it sooner.

533

:

When I start to

534

:

feel really

535

:

tired, when I

536

:

start to feel

537

:

just worn down

538

:

and disinterested

539

:

in what I'm

540

:

doing, I'm able

541

:

to clock that a

542

:

little sooner.

543

:

Good, that's a

544

:

big part of

545

:

the battle.

546

:

Yeah, yes it is.

547

:

But I'm able to

548

:

see it coming

549

:

from

550

:

further away.

551

:

So I know to

552

:

communicate with

553

:

my bosses, my

554

:

people that I'm

555

:

working with,

556

:

people that are

557

:

expecting a

558

:

deliverable from

559

:

me within a

560

:

certain amount of

561

:

time, hey, I'm

562

:

having a day, I

563

:

really need to at

564

:

least take this

565

:

morning time to

566

:

take a step back,

567

:

watch some TV,

568

:

drink some

569

:

orange juice.

570

:

I love an orange

571

:

juice in the

572

:

morning.

573

:

And just take

574

:

that time for

575

:

yourself to be a

576

:

little bit more

577

:

grounded and just

578

:

live in the

579

:

moment rather

580

:

than trying to

581

:

catch up on all

582

:

the million

583

:

things that you're

584

:

trying to do.

585

:

Have you always

586

:

been self-aware

587

:

or has it

588

:

developed?

589

:

It's definitely

590

:

developed.

591

:

And in early high

592

:

school, it would

593

:

kind of turn into

594

:

panic attacks.

595

:

And I would be

596

:

actually one

597

:

really good

598

:

example.

599

:

I was in my human

600

:

anatomy class in

601

:

high school and I

602

:

was sitting there

603

:

and just all of a

604

:

sudden this huge

605

:

wave of anxiety

606

:

and sadness and

607

:

frustration came

608

:

over me.

609

:

And I just put my

610

:

hands around my

611

:

eyes and I

612

:

had a moment.

613

:

I just was crying

614

:

and trying to be

615

:

quiet so people

616

:

wouldn't look at

617

:

me because that

618

:

makes it so

619

:

much worse.

620

:

But just kind of

621

:

having an

622

:

emotional moment

623

:

and I realized

624

:

that

625

:

shouldn't happen.

626

:

Like I should be

627

:

able to try to

628

:

get ahead of that

629

:

and understand

630

:

that I'm doing

631

:

too much.

632

:

I need to take a

633

:

step back and try

634

:

to kind of cut it

635

:

off before I get

636

:

to the point

637

:

where it just all

638

:

has to come out

639

:

and I can't hold

640

:

it in anymore.

641

:

Have you

642

:

struggled with

643

:

people pleasing

644

:

tendencies?

645

:

Because I know

646

:

anxiety and

647

:

people pleasing

648

:

tend to go hand

649

:

in hand and that

650

:

you're putting

651

:

other people and

652

:

I'm the same way,

653

:

you put other

654

:

people's needs

655

:

ahead of your own

656

:

until you break

657

:

and you crumble.

658

:

I feel like I

659

:

have people

660

:

pleasing

661

:

tendencies

662

:

exclusively with

663

:

my jobs.

664

:

Like I want to

665

:

make my

666

:

clients happy.

667

:

I want to make

668

:

the people that

669

:

are paying me

670

:

very happy

671

:

because I want

672

:

them to keep

673

:

paying me.

674

:

And it's really

675

:

difficult to have

676

:

those kinds of

677

:

conversations for

678

:

me because I

679

:

don't want to

680

:

disappoint

681

:

anyone.

682

:

I don't want

683

:

anyone to feel

684

:

like, oh, she's

685

:

unreliable, she

686

:

can't do it.

687

:

So it was really

688

:

hard for me in

689

:

professional

690

:

settings to kind

691

:

of talk about

692

:

when I am getting

693

:

overwhelmed and I

694

:

need to take a

695

:

step back.

696

:

Well, that's when

697

:

we jump into

698

:

proving too.

699

:

We're trying to

700

:

prove, prove,

701

:

prove that we're

702

:

capable, that

703

:

we're great, that

704

:

we're

705

:

smart enough.

706

:

And I know for

707

:

me, I started

708

:

working in a

709

:

professional

710

:

capacity much

711

:

younger than the

712

:

vast

713

:

majority of people.

714

:

And because I was

715

:

doing that, I was

716

:

always trying to

717

:

prove that I

718

:

belonged.

719

:

And I was trying

720

:

to prove that I

721

:

was able to

722

:

handle it without

723

:

issues, without

724

:

consequence.

725

:

And that left me

726

:

feeling very

727

:

severed from who

728

:

I was because I

729

:

took on this role

730

:

of business

731

:

person and

732

:

talent, the

733

:

things that I was

734

:

doing way

735

:

too early.

736

:

Have you

737

:

struggled with

738

:

that identity

739

:

crisis a little

740

:

bit and being

741

:

both a student

742

:

and a

743

:

business owner?

744

:

Yeah, a hundred

745

:

percent.

746

:

I wake up some

747

:

days and I'm

748

:

like, what

749

:

am I doing?

750

:

I'm 21, I don't

751

:

know anything

752

:

about anything.

753

:

I'm working with

754

:

these people that

755

:

have been doing

756

:

this for

757

:

10 years.

758

:

I'm working with

759

:

these people that

760

:

have much bigger

761

:

followings than I

762

:

do, way more

763

:

views than I get.

764

:

And it's just

765

:

really hard to

766

:

navigate that.

767

:

But I think my

768

:

best advice in

769

:

that kind of

770

:

space is just do

771

:

it anyway,

772

:

because you will

773

:

never know what

774

:

you can achieve

775

:

unless you just

776

:

try it and

777

:

you go for it.

778

:

I started my UGC

779

:

career really at

780

:

the beginning of

781

:

this year and I

782

:

was taking very

783

:

well-paying jobs,

784

:

very, I took

785

:

several unpaid

786

:

internships

787

:

during my

788

:

college career.

789

:

I've taken a lot

790

:

of kind of the

791

:

lower levels of

792

:

the jobs in the

793

:

social media and

794

:

digital

795

:

marketing space.

796

:

And the thing

797

:

that I've learned

798

:

from that is that

799

:

those kinds of

800

:

jobs are

801

:

important.

802

:

I do think that

803

:

internships

804

:

should be paid,

805

:

but that's

806

:

another

807

:

conversation.

808

:

I believe the

809

:

same thing.

810

:

That is

811

:

another time.

812

:

But it's

813

:

important when

814

:

you are doing

815

:

those kinds of

816

:

things to know

817

:

that you are

818

:

still learning.

819

:

Even though

820

:

you're doing a

821

:

job and you're

822

:

not kind of

823

:

seeing the

824

:

realization of it

825

:

or you're not

826

:

getting a lot of

827

:

views, you're not

828

:

getting a lot of

829

:

return on what

830

:

you're putting

831

:

out, you're still

832

:

learning what

833

:

might not work.

834

:

You're learning

835

:

how can I adjust

836

:

this to see an

837

:

increase?

838

:

How can I adjust

839

:

this to see more

840

:

of what a client

841

:

is looking for,

842

:

even just what

843

:

I'm looking for?

844

:

Because this is

845

:

what I want to do

846

:

for a living

847

:

because I

848

:

love it.

849

:

I want to add

850

:

too, in 2023, I

851

:

did a TEDx talk.

852

:

And in the talk,

853

:

I discussed a

854

:

little bit of

855

:

what Madison is

856

:

talking about in

857

:

that, even if

858

:

you're young,

859

:

you're learning,

860

:

you're imperfect,

861

:

you still deserve

862

:

a seat at the

863

:

table and to have

864

:

your ideas

865

:

recognized.

866

:

I feel like I see

867

:

that so much with

868

:

these incredibly

869

:

brilliant,

870

:

genius,

871

:

entrepreneurial,

872

:

intelligent young

873

:

people who don't

874

:

always get the

875

:

seat at the table

876

:

or the respect

877

:

that they deserve

878

:

off the jump, you

879

:

might say.

880

:

And that's hard

881

:

as well as you're

882

:

fighting against

883

:

so many

884

:

stereotypes of

885

:

what it means to

886

:

be from your

887

:

generation.

888

:

Yeah, I mean,

889

:

even in the

890

:

social media

891

:

space, my

892

:

boyfriend will go

893

:

to work and he

894

:

tells people,

895

:

"Yeah, my

896

:

girlfriend works

897

:

in social media."

898

:

And I'm like,

899

:

"Oh, well, why

900

:

didn't you say

901

:

I'm a content

902

:

creator?"

903

:

Like, I feel like

904

:

that term just

905

:

fits what I

906

:

do better.

907

:

And he's like,

908

:

"Babe, people are

909

:

gonna think that

910

:

you're doing

911

:

content that is

912

:

not what

913

:

you're doing."

914

:

And I'm like,

915

:

"Oh, that is a

916

:

real generational

917

:

difference.

918

:

You tell someone

919

:

that's in their

920

:

20s, yeah, my

921

:

girlfriend's a

922

:

content creator.

923

:

It sounds a lot

924

:

more promiscuous

925

:

than it might end

926

:

up being."

927

:

Yeah, and there's

928

:

so much to fight

929

:

against in terms

930

:

of, there's so

931

:

many negative

932

:

stereotypes too

933

:

about content,

934

:

social media, the

935

:

internet.

936

:

Why do you love

937

:

social

938

:

media so much?

939

:

That was

940

:

definitely a

941

:

progression too.

942

:

I never was a big

943

:

social media

944

:

person when I was

945

:

in high school.

946

:

I wouldn't say

947

:

I'm a private

948

:

person, but I

949

:

just wasn't like

950

:

a post every

951

:

second of my life

952

:

on the internet.

953

:

I'm a very

954

:

private person,

955

:

so you're gonna

956

:

teach me

957

:

something here.

958

:

Yeah, when I was

959

:

with my friends,

960

:

I wasn't taking a

961

:

million pictures

962

:

and posting them

963

:

on Instagram.

964

:

I was enjoying

965

:

their company.

966

:

And I was talking

967

:

and we were doing

968

:

funny things and

969

:

making brownies

970

:

at two in the

971

:

morning and just

972

:

doing kid things.

973

:

All to my

974

:

girlhood.

975

:

Yes, yes.

976

:

I was a

977

:

cheerleader in

978

:

high school too.

979

:

So me and my

980

:

friends would

981

:

rehearse our

982

:

dances that we

983

:

had to do at

984

:

games while we

985

:

were cooking in

986

:

the kitchen or

987

:

making movies or

988

:

whatever we

989

:

were doing.

990

:

I think that

991

:

following summer

992

:

after I graduated

993

:

from high school,

994

:

or no, sorry, the

995

:

summer before I

996

:

went into my

997

:

sophomore year of

998

:

college, I took

999

:

an internship

:

00:15:22,208 --> 00:15:23,375

with a company

:

00:15:23,375 --> 00:15:24,041

called Victory

:

00:15:24,250 --> 00:15:24,875

that I thought I

:

00:15:24,875 --> 00:15:25,333

was gonna be

:

00:15:25,333 --> 00:15:25,833

doing brand

:

00:15:25,833 --> 00:15:26,250

management.

:

00:15:26,833 --> 00:15:27,333

And I thought it

:

00:15:27,333 --> 00:15:27,833

was gonna be a

:

00:15:27,833 --> 00:15:28,875

lot more of the

:

00:15:28,875 --> 00:15:29,791

kind of bigger

:

00:15:29,791 --> 00:15:30,916

brand strategy.

:

00:15:31,333 --> 00:15:32,000

And I ended up

:

00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:32,875

doing a lot of

:

00:15:32,875 --> 00:15:33,125

social

:

00:15:33,125 --> 00:15:33,791

media work.

:

00:15:34,291 --> 00:15:34,791

And at the

:

00:15:34,791 --> 00:15:35,541

beginning, I'm

:

00:15:35,541 --> 00:15:36,000

thinking to

:

00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:36,625

myself, okay,

:

00:15:36,625 --> 00:15:37,083

whatever, it's

:

00:15:37,083 --> 00:15:38,000

one summer I'll

:

00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,333

live, even though

:

00:15:39,333 --> 00:15:39,916

this isn't really

:

00:15:39,916 --> 00:15:40,833

what I wanna do.

:

00:15:40,833 --> 00:15:41,416

Like this is my

:

00:15:41,416 --> 00:15:42,500

way into this

:

00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:43,708

kind of industry.

:

00:15:44,416 --> 00:15:45,208

But by the end of

:

00:15:45,208 --> 00:15:46,041

the summer, after

:

00:15:46,041 --> 00:15:47,000

all the video

:

00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:47,708

editing and the

:

00:15:47,708 --> 00:15:48,875

Canva design

:

00:15:48,875 --> 00:15:49,958

making and

:

00:15:49,958 --> 00:15:51,125

scheduling and

:

00:15:51,125 --> 00:15:51,833

all these kinds

:

00:15:51,833 --> 00:15:53,166

of social media

:

00:15:53,166 --> 00:15:55,000

things that are

:

00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:55,541

kind of happening

:

00:15:55,541 --> 00:15:56,291

in the background

:

00:15:56,958 --> 00:15:57,916

I was exposed to,

:

00:15:58,250 --> 00:15:59,583

I just fell in

:

00:15:59,583 --> 00:16:00,166

love with it.

:

00:16:00,166 --> 00:16:01,125

And I got super,

:

00:16:01,125 --> 00:16:02,166

super into it.

:

00:16:02,375 --> 00:16:03,291

I did an

:

00:16:03,291 --> 00:16:03,958

internship that

:

00:16:03,958 --> 00:16:05,041

following fall,

:

00:16:05,541 --> 00:16:06,291

where I got to go

:

00:16:06,291 --> 00:16:06,708

to New York

:

00:16:06,708 --> 00:16:07,416

Fashion Week and

:

00:16:07,416 --> 00:16:08,208

get content.

:

00:16:08,208 --> 00:16:08,958

I was helping a

:

00:16:08,958 --> 00:16:09,458

lot with the

:

00:16:09,458 --> 00:16:10,041

social media

:

00:16:10,041 --> 00:16:11,125

production there.

:

00:16:11,875 --> 00:16:13,000

And I just got

:

00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:13,875

super, super

:

00:16:13,875 --> 00:16:14,708

obsessed with it.

:

00:16:15,916 --> 00:16:16,416

If you could

:

00:16:16,416 --> 00:16:17,750

dispel one myth

:

00:16:17,750 --> 00:16:18,875

about social

:

00:16:18,875 --> 00:16:19,833

media, what

:

00:16:19,833 --> 00:16:20,250

would it be?

:

00:16:20,916 --> 00:16:21,125

None of

:

00:16:21,125 --> 00:16:21,500

it is real.

:

00:16:23,375 --> 00:16:24,333

Absolutely none

:

00:16:24,333 --> 00:16:24,916

of it is real.

:

00:16:25,416 --> 00:16:26,083

Even the videos

:

00:16:26,083 --> 00:16:27,208

that people are

:

00:16:27,208 --> 00:16:27,625

seeing and

:

00:16:27,625 --> 00:16:28,125

they're like, oh

:

00:16:28,125 --> 00:16:28,791

my God, like I

:

00:16:28,791 --> 00:16:29,208

can't believe

:

00:16:29,208 --> 00:16:29,833

this happened.

:

00:16:30,375 --> 00:16:30,833

It's not real.

:

00:16:33,083 --> 00:16:34,000

I love that.

:

00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:34,458

And I love how

:

00:16:34,458 --> 00:16:35,125

honest you are

:

00:16:35,125 --> 00:16:35,750

with your answer.

:

00:16:36,833 --> 00:16:38,083

Yeah, working in

:

00:16:38,083 --> 00:16:39,166

social media and

:

00:16:39,166 --> 00:16:40,041

doing brand

:

00:16:40,041 --> 00:16:41,000

promotion and

:

00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,125

these kinds of

:

00:16:42,125 --> 00:16:43,291

things, you learn

:

00:16:43,291 --> 00:16:44,125

a lot about

:

00:16:44,333 --> 00:16:44,875

what's actually

:

00:16:44,875 --> 00:16:45,791

going into the

:

00:16:45,791 --> 00:16:46,208

content.

:

00:16:46,875 --> 00:16:47,708

And I've talked

:

00:16:47,708 --> 00:16:48,333

to a ton of

:

00:16:48,333 --> 00:16:48,916

different content

:

00:16:48,916 --> 00:16:49,958

creators from all

:

00:16:49,958 --> 00:16:51,791

different kind of

:

00:16:51,791 --> 00:16:52,500

worlds within

:

00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:53,166

social media.

:

00:16:53,166 --> 00:16:53,500

Like I have

:

00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:54,083

friends who are

:

00:16:54,083 --> 00:16:54,500

fashion and

:

00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:55,166

beauty creators.

:

00:16:55,166 --> 00:16:55,541

I have friends

:

00:16:55,541 --> 00:16:56,666

who are video

:

00:16:56,666 --> 00:16:57,250

game creators.

:

00:16:57,250 --> 00:16:57,750

I have friends

:

00:16:57,750 --> 00:16:58,208

who are like

:

00:16:58,208 --> 00:16:58,750

study app

:

00:16:58,750 --> 00:16:59,208

creators.

:

00:16:59,958 --> 00:17:01,958

And we all are

:

00:17:01,958 --> 00:17:03,583

united under the

:

00:17:03,583 --> 00:17:05,875

umbrella of we're

:

00:17:05,875 --> 00:17:06,541

doing a job.

:

00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:07,625

Even the people

:

00:17:07,625 --> 00:17:08,500

who are posting

:

00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:09,291

on social media

:

00:17:09,416 --> 00:17:10,416

just for fun,

:

00:17:10,750 --> 00:17:11,416

they're also

:

00:17:11,416 --> 00:17:12,166

doing their job.

:

00:17:12,833 --> 00:17:13,416

So they're giving

:

00:17:13,416 --> 00:17:14,333

you what they

:

00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:14,958

think that you're

:

00:17:14,958 --> 00:17:15,666

gonna wanna see,

:

00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:16,708

not necessarily

:

00:17:16,708 --> 00:17:17,375

what's actually

:

00:17:17,375 --> 00:17:17,833

happening.

:

00:17:18,791 --> 00:17:19,291

They're doing

:

00:17:19,291 --> 00:17:20,250

brand management,

:

00:17:20,250 --> 00:17:20,833

whether or not

:

00:17:20,833 --> 00:17:21,541

they realize that

:

00:17:21,541 --> 00:17:22,333

they are managing

:

00:17:22,333 --> 00:17:23,166

their own brand.

:

00:17:23,625 --> 00:17:24,000

And there's a

:

00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:24,750

time for that and

:

00:17:24,750 --> 00:17:25,625

a place for that.

:

00:17:25,916 --> 00:17:26,500

And then a time

:

00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:27,125

and a place where

:

00:17:27,125 --> 00:17:27,750

reality has

:

00:17:27,750 --> 00:17:28,333

become very

:

00:17:28,333 --> 00:17:28,791

distorted.

:

00:17:30,833 --> 00:17:31,083

Completely

:

00:17:31,083 --> 00:17:31,291

agreed.

:

00:17:33,083 --> 00:17:33,416

Being in

:

00:17:33,416 --> 00:17:33,958

university,

:

00:17:34,458 --> 00:17:35,416

balancing all of

:

00:17:35,416 --> 00:17:36,500

this, what would

:

00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:37,708

you say is your

:

00:17:37,708 --> 00:17:38,416

number one

:

00:17:38,416 --> 00:17:39,500

self-care hack?

:

00:17:43,666 --> 00:17:44,625

Or a busy soul?

:

00:17:47,916 --> 00:17:48,666

My favorite thing

:

00:17:48,666 --> 00:17:49,416

to do to

:

00:17:49,416 --> 00:17:50,458

decompress always

:

00:17:50,708 --> 00:17:51,458

is just sitting

:

00:17:51,458 --> 00:17:52,458

on the couch with

:

00:17:52,458 --> 00:17:53,666

my boyfriend or

:

00:17:53,666 --> 00:17:54,458

I'll have my best

:

00:17:54,458 --> 00:17:55,041

friend over

:

00:17:55,041 --> 00:17:56,125

throwing on a

:

00:17:56,125 --> 00:17:57,083

sitcom, eating

:

00:17:57,083 --> 00:17:58,541

pizza or tacos or

:

00:17:58,541 --> 00:17:59,208

some kind of

:

00:17:59,208 --> 00:18:00,500

comfort food and

:

00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:01,916

just like not

:

00:18:01,916 --> 00:18:02,416

thinking about

:

00:18:02,416 --> 00:18:02,833

anything.

:

00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:04,500

The tacos was so

:

00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:05,083

after my

:

00:18:05,083 --> 00:18:05,750

own heart.

:

00:18:06,458 --> 00:18:07,250

Going to the

:

00:18:07,250 --> 00:18:09,500

nothing box, take

:

00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:10,416

a travel there.

:

00:18:10,416 --> 00:18:11,291

It's beautiful there.

:

00:18:11,875 --> 00:18:12,500

I love it.

:

00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:13,041

It's my favorite

:

00:18:13,041 --> 00:18:13,500

place in

:

00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:13,833

the world.

:

00:18:15,166 --> 00:18:15,958

As you start to

:

00:18:15,958 --> 00:18:17,125

progress in your

:

00:18:17,125 --> 00:18:18,250

university career

:

00:18:18,791 --> 00:18:19,333

and what you're

:

00:18:19,333 --> 00:18:20,500

doing, looking

:

00:18:20,500 --> 00:18:22,333

ahead to maybe

:

00:18:22,333 --> 00:18:22,875

the upcoming

:

00:18:22,875 --> 00:18:23,750

months, years,

:

00:18:24,958 --> 00:18:25,583

what are you

:

00:18:25,583 --> 00:18:26,291

going to do to

:

00:18:26,291 --> 00:18:26,916

continue to be

:

00:18:26,916 --> 00:18:27,500

able to balance

:

00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:28,416

all of this and

:

00:18:28,416 --> 00:18:29,083

take excellent

:

00:18:29,083 --> 00:18:29,750

care of yourself?

:

00:18:32,958 --> 00:18:33,541

I think it's

:

00:18:33,541 --> 00:18:35,833

always a process.

:

00:18:35,833 --> 00:18:36,166

I think it's

:

00:18:36,166 --> 00:18:37,125

always a process

:

00:18:37,125 --> 00:18:37,583

that you kind of

:

00:18:37,583 --> 00:18:38,125

have to teach

:

00:18:38,125 --> 00:18:38,875

yourself what

:

00:18:38,875 --> 00:18:39,583

works for you.

:

00:18:40,208 --> 00:18:41,000

I'm not the kind

:

00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,416

of girl that my

:

00:18:42,416 --> 00:18:43,291

self-care is.

:

00:18:43,291 --> 00:18:43,750

I'm going to do a

:

00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:44,583

face mask and I'm

:

00:18:44,583 --> 00:18:44,875

going to do a

:

00:18:44,875 --> 00:18:45,708

hair mask and I'm

:

00:18:45,708 --> 00:18:46,583

going to go get

:

00:18:46,583 --> 00:18:47,333

my nails done and

:

00:18:47,333 --> 00:18:48,041

do all of these

:

00:18:48,041 --> 00:18:48,333

things

:

00:18:48,333 --> 00:18:49,000

just for me.

:

00:18:49,708 --> 00:18:50,625

I like working.

:

00:18:50,958 --> 00:18:52,125

I enjoy the

:

00:18:52,125 --> 00:18:52,708

feeling of

:

00:18:52,708 --> 00:18:53,583

being busy.

:

00:18:53,583 --> 00:18:54,000

I enjoy the

:

00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,500

feeling of, okay,

:

00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:56,208

I have this many

:

00:18:56,208 --> 00:18:56,833

things to do.

:

00:18:56,833 --> 00:18:57,250

I have this much

:

00:18:57,250 --> 00:18:57,916

time to do it.

:

00:18:57,916 --> 00:18:58,166

Let's just

:

00:18:58,166 --> 00:18:58,708

get it done.

:

00:18:59,208 --> 00:18:59,750

And I think that

:

00:18:59,750 --> 00:19:00,500

that's really the

:

00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:01,125

condition that I

:

00:19:01,125 --> 00:19:01,958

work the best in

:

00:19:01,958 --> 00:19:02,541

despite the

:

00:19:02,541 --> 00:19:03,000

anxiety

:

00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:03,583

that I have.

:

00:19:04,625 --> 00:19:05,583

And I think that

:

00:19:05,583 --> 00:19:07,541

the best thing

:

00:19:07,541 --> 00:19:08,541

that I can do for

:

00:19:08,541 --> 00:19:09,250

myself and the

:

00:19:09,250 --> 00:19:09,625

thing that I've

:

00:19:09,625 --> 00:19:10,166

learned the most

:

00:19:10,166 --> 00:19:11,166

about myself is

:

00:19:11,166 --> 00:19:12,041

that it's okay

:

00:19:12,041 --> 00:19:12,791

for not

:

00:19:12,791 --> 00:19:13,666

everything to get

:

00:19:13,666 --> 00:19:14,750

done that day.

:

00:19:15,375 --> 00:19:15,500

And that's

:

00:19:15,500 --> 00:19:15,958

something that

:

00:19:15,958 --> 00:19:16,625

I've been trying

:

00:19:16,625 --> 00:19:18,791

to engrain a

:

00:19:18,791 --> 00:19:19,291

little bit more

:

00:19:19,291 --> 00:19:20,166

into my own head

:

00:19:20,916 --> 00:19:22,000

because I always

:

00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:22,541

want everything

:

00:19:22,541 --> 00:19:23,458

to be perfect.

:

00:19:23,458 --> 00:19:24,125

I check over

:

00:19:24,125 --> 00:19:24,708

every single

:

00:19:24,708 --> 00:19:25,791

graphic I make 13

:

00:19:25,791 --> 00:19:26,416

times to make

:

00:19:26,416 --> 00:19:26,833

sure everything

:

00:19:26,833 --> 00:19:27,500

is spaced

:

00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:28,000

appropriately.

:

00:19:28,541 --> 00:19:29,666

I edit my videos

:

00:19:29,666 --> 00:19:30,666

for an hour a

:

00:19:30,666 --> 00:19:31,291

piece because I

:

00:19:31,291 --> 00:19:31,791

want to make sure

:

00:19:31,791 --> 00:19:32,708

that every single

:

00:19:32,708 --> 00:19:33,333

second is

:

00:19:33,333 --> 00:19:35,375

perfect, but it

:

00:19:35,375 --> 00:19:36,208

can't all get

:

00:19:36,208 --> 00:19:37,458

done in one day

:

00:19:37,541 --> 00:19:38,208

if it's going to

:

00:19:38,208 --> 00:19:38,666

be perfect.

:

00:19:40,125 --> 00:19:41,416

No, and there's a

:

00:19:41,416 --> 00:19:42,208

reason you're not

:

00:19:42,208 --> 00:19:42,958

a heart surgeon

:

00:19:43,125 --> 00:19:43,791

or a brain

:

00:19:43,791 --> 00:19:44,208

surgeon.

:

00:19:44,541 --> 00:19:45,166

If you need to

:

00:19:45,166 --> 00:19:46,333

pass a task on to

:

00:19:46,333 --> 00:19:47,000

the next day,

:

00:19:47,333 --> 00:19:47,750

nobody is

:

00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:48,333

gonna die.

:

00:19:48,958 --> 00:19:49,666

And that is a

:

00:19:49,666 --> 00:19:50,250

very refreshing

:

00:19:50,250 --> 00:19:50,750

feeling.

:

00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:53,208

So I'm gonna ask

:

00:19:53,208 --> 00:19:53,916

you my signature

:

00:19:53,916 --> 00:19:54,416

question.

:

00:19:54,666 --> 00:19:55,458

It's a hard one.

:

00:19:56,291 --> 00:19:57,083

If you were gonna

:

00:19:57,083 --> 00:19:58,416

give three pieces

:

00:19:58,416 --> 00:19:59,708

of advice to

:

00:19:59,708 --> 00:20:00,583

university-age

:

00:20:00,583 --> 00:20:01,250

students, the

:

00:20:01,250 --> 00:20:02,041

pieces of advice

:

00:20:02,041 --> 00:20:02,791

can be about

:

00:20:02,791 --> 00:20:03,291

anything.

:

00:20:04,083 --> 00:20:04,541

What would those

:

00:20:04,541 --> 00:20:05,166

three pieces of

:

00:20:05,166 --> 00:20:05,708

advice be?

:

00:20:08,416 --> 00:20:08,625

That is

:

00:20:08,625 --> 00:20:09,208

definitely a hard

:

00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:09,708

one, three.

:

00:20:10,416 --> 00:20:11,041

I know.

:

00:20:11,291 --> 00:20:11,750

Well, we want to

:

00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:12,583

get all of those

:

00:20:12,583 --> 00:20:13,958

beautiful nuggets

:

00:20:14,166 --> 00:20:14,541

of wisdom

:

00:20:14,541 --> 00:20:15,208

out of you.

:

00:20:16,583 --> 00:20:16,791

Yeah.

:

00:20:21,541 --> 00:20:22,000

Actually, I have

:

00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:22,375

a good way that I

:

00:20:22,375 --> 00:20:22,541

can break

:

00:20:22,541 --> 00:20:22,916

this down.

:

00:20:23,125 --> 00:20:23,875

Since I am a

:

00:20:23,875 --> 00:20:24,500

junior, I've been

:

00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:25,041

in college for

:

00:20:25,041 --> 00:20:26,125

three years, I'll

:

00:20:26,125 --> 00:20:26,958

pull a piece of

:

00:20:26,958 --> 00:20:27,458

advice I wish

:

00:20:27,458 --> 00:20:28,125

someone told me

:

00:20:28,125 --> 00:20:28,500

going into

:

00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:28,916

each year.

:

00:20:29,750 --> 00:20:30,500

So my

:

00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:31,500

freshman year,

:

00:20:32,833 --> 00:20:33,791

I would say the

:

00:20:33,791 --> 00:20:34,083

best piece

:

00:20:34,083 --> 00:20:34,625

of advice,

:

00:20:36,083 --> 00:20:36,458

you are

:

00:20:36,458 --> 00:20:37,125

not behind.

:

00:20:38,125 --> 00:20:39,208

Because I was

:

00:20:39,208 --> 00:20:39,708

convincing

:

00:20:39,708 --> 00:20:40,541

myself, oh my

:

00:20:40,541 --> 00:20:41,083

God, I don't have

:

00:20:41,083 --> 00:20:41,875

any internships.

:

00:20:41,875 --> 00:20:42,416

Oh my God, I

:

00:20:42,416 --> 00:20:43,875

don't have any of

:

00:20:43,875 --> 00:20:44,583

these things that

:

00:20:44,583 --> 00:20:45,125

some of my

:

00:20:45,125 --> 00:20:46,166

friends who were

:

00:20:46,166 --> 00:20:46,750

older for

:

00:20:46,750 --> 00:20:47,333

the record,

:

00:20:48,625 --> 00:20:49,291

had by this point

:

00:20:49,291 --> 00:20:49,875

in their

:

00:20:49,875 --> 00:20:50,791

college career.

:

00:20:50,791 --> 00:20:51,916

I'm not doing the

:

00:20:51,916 --> 00:20:52,250

same as

:

00:20:52,250 --> 00:20:52,791

everyone else.

:

00:20:52,791 --> 00:20:53,041

I'm not

:

00:20:53,041 --> 00:20:53,625

doing enough.

:

00:20:54,833 --> 00:20:56,500

You are, you're a

:

00:20:56,500 --> 00:20:56,833

freshman.

:

00:20:57,041 --> 00:20:57,500

You're supposed

:

00:20:57,500 --> 00:20:58,375

to be getting

:

00:20:58,375 --> 00:20:59,000

adjusted.

:

00:20:59,000 --> 00:20:59,541

You don't have to

:

00:20:59,541 --> 00:21:00,375

join every single

:

00:21:00,375 --> 00:21:01,208

club that you

:

00:21:01,208 --> 00:21:01,833

walk by at the

:

00:21:01,833 --> 00:21:02,458

Involvement Fair.

:

00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:03,916

You don't have to

:

00:21:03,916 --> 00:21:04,583

have an

:

00:21:04,583 --> 00:21:05,375

internship by the

:

00:21:05,375 --> 00:21:05,875

end of your first

:

00:21:05,875 --> 00:21:06,750

semester of

:

00:21:06,750 --> 00:21:07,125

college.

:

00:21:07,958 --> 00:21:08,708

You are doing

:

00:21:08,708 --> 00:21:10,375

enough and

:

00:21:10,375 --> 00:21:11,250

that's okay.

:

00:21:13,333 --> 00:21:14,125

For my

:

00:21:14,125 --> 00:21:15,083

sophomore year,

:

00:21:16,583 --> 00:21:17,375

was really when I

:

00:21:17,375 --> 00:21:18,041

started to

:

00:21:18,041 --> 00:21:18,958

do too much.

:

00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:20,916

So I think that

:

00:21:20,916 --> 00:21:21,791

my best piece of

:

00:21:21,791 --> 00:21:22,500

advice for

:

00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:23,666

sophomores is,

:

00:21:25,291 --> 00:21:26,458

it's okay to let

:

00:21:26,458 --> 00:21:27,291

something go.

:

00:21:27,833 --> 00:21:29,083

It's okay to take

:

00:21:29,083 --> 00:21:30,000

a step back from

:

00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,041

a job that maybe

:

00:21:31,041 --> 00:21:32,708

isn't treating

:

00:21:32,708 --> 00:21:33,500

you very well.

:

00:21:33,875 --> 00:21:34,625

And you think

:

00:21:34,625 --> 00:21:35,208

that you just

:

00:21:35,208 --> 00:21:35,958

have to take it

:

00:21:35,958 --> 00:21:36,500

and suck it up

:

00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:37,291

because you're in

:

00:21:37,291 --> 00:21:37,666

an entry

:

00:21:37,666 --> 00:21:38,750

level space.

:

00:21:39,541 --> 00:21:40,208

You don't.

:

00:21:40,916 --> 00:21:41,666

There are plenty

:

00:21:41,666 --> 00:21:42,125

of jobs

:

00:21:42,125 --> 00:21:42,500

out there.

:

00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:42,791

There are plenty

:

00:21:42,791 --> 00:21:43,416

of people out

:

00:21:43,416 --> 00:21:44,083

there looking to

:

00:21:44,083 --> 00:21:45,416

hire for certain

:

00:21:45,416 --> 00:21:47,375

things or it goes

:

00:21:47,375 --> 00:21:48,291

for clubs too.

:

00:21:48,291 --> 00:21:48,708

If you're in a

:

00:21:48,708 --> 00:21:49,250

club and you

:

00:21:49,250 --> 00:21:50,125

really, really do

:

00:21:50,125 --> 00:21:50,666

not like the

:

00:21:50,666 --> 00:21:51,666

person that is

:

00:21:51,666 --> 00:21:52,333

running the club,

:

00:21:52,666 --> 00:21:53,250

start your own.

:

00:21:53,625 --> 00:21:54,333

Start your own,

:

00:21:54,333 --> 00:21:55,250

make friends in

:

00:21:55,250 --> 00:21:56,500

other spaces, go

:

00:21:56,500 --> 00:21:57,083

to club meetings

:

00:21:57,083 --> 00:21:57,583

with them.

:

00:21:58,333 --> 00:21:59,375

Find the space

:

00:21:59,375 --> 00:22:00,166

where you feel

:

00:22:00,166 --> 00:22:00,833

happy and

:

00:22:00,833 --> 00:22:01,125

comfortable

:

00:22:01,125 --> 00:22:01,916

because you don't

:

00:22:01,916 --> 00:22:02,750

have to deal with

:

00:22:02,750 --> 00:22:03,250

anything you

:

00:22:03,250 --> 00:22:04,500

don't want to.

:

00:22:06,333 --> 00:22:07,875

And then for this

:

00:22:07,875 --> 00:22:08,916

year, we're only

:

00:22:08,916 --> 00:22:09,458

halfway through

:

00:22:09,458 --> 00:22:09,833

the year.

:

00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:10,666

So I really only

:

00:22:10,666 --> 00:22:11,750

have half of a

:

00:22:11,750 --> 00:22:13,583

full year

:

00:22:13,583 --> 00:22:14,666

to go off of.

:

00:22:15,208 --> 00:22:16,583

But I think the

:

00:22:16,583 --> 00:22:17,833

thing that I'm

:

00:22:17,833 --> 00:22:18,666

trying to tell

:

00:22:18,666 --> 00:22:19,541

myself the most

:

00:22:19,541 --> 00:22:20,750

for this year,

:

00:22:22,041 --> 00:22:23,125

it's okay to not

:

00:22:23,125 --> 00:22:23,666

know what's

:

00:22:23,666 --> 00:22:24,375

coming next.

:

00:22:24,875 --> 00:22:25,583

I have always

:

00:22:25,583 --> 00:22:26,000

been a big

:

00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:26,333

planner.

:

00:22:26,708 --> 00:22:27,916

I love to make

:

00:22:27,916 --> 00:22:28,458

sure that I know

:

00:22:28,458 --> 00:22:29,000

what's going to

:

00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:29,708

come next.

:

00:22:29,708 --> 00:22:30,916

I love watching

:

00:22:30,916 --> 00:22:31,500

the same movies

:

00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:32,000

over and over

:

00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:32,625

again because I

:

00:22:32,625 --> 00:22:33,000

know what's gonna

:

00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:33,625

come next.

:

00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:35,041

And I think it's

:

00:22:35,041 --> 00:22:36,083

important to know

:

00:22:36,625 --> 00:22:37,250

that when you get

:

00:22:37,250 --> 00:22:38,458

to this level and

:

00:22:38,458 --> 00:22:38,875

your family

:

00:22:38,875 --> 00:22:39,916

starts asking

:

00:22:39,916 --> 00:22:40,666

you, so when are

:

00:22:40,666 --> 00:22:41,250

you guys gonna

:

00:22:41,250 --> 00:22:41,916

get engaged?

:

00:22:42,291 --> 00:22:43,208

So where do you

:

00:22:43,208 --> 00:22:43,458

think you

:

00:22:43,458 --> 00:22:44,083

wanna move?

:

00:22:44,083 --> 00:22:44,333

What do

:

00:22:44,333 --> 00:22:45,041

you wanna do?

:

00:22:45,041 --> 00:22:45,333

Where do you

:

00:22:45,333 --> 00:22:45,791

wanna go?

:

00:22:46,958 --> 00:22:47,875

You don't have to

:

00:22:47,875 --> 00:22:48,500

have answers.

:

00:22:49,125 --> 00:22:49,625

It's not

:

00:22:49,625 --> 00:22:51,958

something that

:

00:22:51,958 --> 00:22:52,958

you have to know

:

00:22:52,958 --> 00:22:53,750

and have planned

:

00:22:53,750 --> 00:22:54,708

out at this point

:

00:22:54,708 --> 00:22:55,250

in your life.

:

00:22:55,750 --> 00:22:56,416

You still have a

:

00:22:56,416 --> 00:22:57,208

full another year

:

00:22:57,208 --> 00:22:58,333

of college.

:

00:22:58,333 --> 00:22:59,000

You still have

:

00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,000

time even after

:

00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:00,500

college.

:

00:23:01,291 --> 00:23:03,250

If you have to go

:

00:23:03,250 --> 00:23:03,875

back home with

:

00:23:03,875 --> 00:23:04,666

your family for a

:

00:23:04,666 --> 00:23:05,083

little bit of

:

00:23:05,083 --> 00:23:05,916

time in between

:

00:23:05,916 --> 00:23:06,958

college and grad

:

00:23:06,958 --> 00:23:08,125

school or college

:

00:23:08,125 --> 00:23:09,041

and full-time job

:

00:23:09,250 --> 00:23:09,958

or any of those

:

00:23:09,958 --> 00:23:10,500

kinds of things,

:

00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:11,041

it's okay.

:

00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:12,291

You don't have to

:

00:23:12,291 --> 00:23:13,166

have every single

:

00:23:13,166 --> 00:23:13,666

second of your

:

00:23:13,666 --> 00:23:14,416

life planned out.

:

00:23:15,250 --> 00:23:16,291

I love all of

:

00:23:16,291 --> 00:23:16,458

those

:

00:23:16,458 --> 00:23:17,250

pieces of advice.

:

00:23:17,250 --> 00:23:17,541

And I wanna

:

00:23:17,541 --> 00:23:18,250

piggyback on

:

00:23:18,250 --> 00:23:18,708

something you

:

00:23:18,708 --> 00:23:19,166

said on

:

00:23:19,166 --> 00:23:19,625

number two.

:

00:23:20,250 --> 00:23:20,708

I think our

:

00:23:20,708 --> 00:23:21,833

society is so

:

00:23:21,833 --> 00:23:22,500

obsessed with

:

00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:24,250

addition, adding

:

00:23:24,250 --> 00:23:25,041

stuff, adding

:

00:23:25,041 --> 00:23:25,875

friends, adding

:

00:23:25,875 --> 00:23:27,166

obligations, but

:

00:23:27,166 --> 00:23:28,291

we never actually

:

00:23:28,291 --> 00:23:29,375

are obsessed with

:

00:23:29,375 --> 00:23:29,958

subtraction.

:

00:23:30,708 --> 00:23:31,458

And that can feel

:

00:23:31,458 --> 00:23:33,541

so good to take a

:

00:23:33,541 --> 00:23:34,041

weight off of

:

00:23:34,041 --> 00:23:34,625

yourself, even

:

00:23:34,625 --> 00:23:35,166

letting go of a

:

00:23:35,166 --> 00:23:36,000

toxic friendship

:

00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,333

or letting go of

:

00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:38,666

a club or

:

00:23:38,666 --> 00:23:39,375

anything that's

:

00:23:39,375 --> 00:23:39,708

not right

:

00:23:39,708 --> 00:23:40,208

for you.

:

00:23:40,791 --> 00:23:41,416

There's such a

:

00:23:41,416 --> 00:23:42,333

relief that comes

:

00:23:42,333 --> 00:23:42,958

from that.

:

00:23:43,458 --> 00:23:43,916

Thank you for

:

00:23:43,916 --> 00:23:44,500

talking about

:

00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:45,000

subtraction

:

00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:45,500

because we don't

:

00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:46,041

talk about it

:

00:23:46,041 --> 00:23:46,375

enough,

:

00:23:46,458 --> 00:23:47,791

especially in

:

00:23:47,791 --> 00:23:48,500

university, it's

:

00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:49,583

always add this,

:

00:23:50,125 --> 00:23:50,583

add to your

:

00:23:50,583 --> 00:23:51,791

resume, add to

:

00:23:51,791 --> 00:23:52,750

your CV so that

:

00:23:52,750 --> 00:23:53,291

you can be

:

00:23:53,291 --> 00:23:54,583

successful and

:

00:23:54,583 --> 00:23:55,375

never what can

:

00:23:55,375 --> 00:23:56,500

you take away so

:

00:23:56,500 --> 00:23:56,750

that you

:

00:23:56,750 --> 00:23:57,375

can be sane.

:

00:23:58,291 --> 00:23:59,250

Yes, absolutely.

:

00:23:59,500 --> 00:24:00,041

I think that

:

00:24:00,041 --> 00:24:01,166

making sure that

:

00:24:01,166 --> 00:24:02,041

you are okay

:

00:24:02,041 --> 00:24:02,958

first is the most

:

00:24:02,958 --> 00:24:03,750

important thing.

:

00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:04,583

Because if you're

:

00:24:04,583 --> 00:24:06,708

not okay in your

:

00:24:06,708 --> 00:24:07,333

heart and your

:

00:24:07,333 --> 00:24:07,875

soul and your

:

00:24:07,875 --> 00:24:09,333

mind, what you're

:

00:24:09,333 --> 00:24:10,416

doing also isn't

:

00:24:10,416 --> 00:24:11,000

gonna be okay.

:

00:24:11,625 --> 00:24:12,166

So it's very

:

00:24:12,166 --> 00:24:12,875

important to make

:

00:24:12,875 --> 00:24:13,416

sure that what

:

00:24:13,416 --> 00:24:14,208

you're doing you

:

00:24:14,208 --> 00:24:14,875

actually are

:

00:24:14,875 --> 00:24:15,708

obsessed with and

:

00:24:15,708 --> 00:24:16,000

you do

:

00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,000

actually love.

:

00:24:17,583 --> 00:24:18,125

Otherwise you're

:

00:24:18,125 --> 00:24:18,791

just gonna drain

:

00:24:18,791 --> 00:24:19,541

your own battery

:

00:24:19,708 --> 00:24:20,541

and you're not

:

00:24:20,541 --> 00:24:21,000

gonna be doing

:

00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:21,583

anything anyway.

:

00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:23,416

As we wrap up

:

00:24:23,416 --> 00:24:24,291

here, do you have

:

00:24:24,291 --> 00:24:24,958

any closing

:

00:24:24,958 --> 00:24:25,500

remarks of

:

00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:26,375

anything I did

:

00:24:26,375 --> 00:24:27,916

not ask you that

:

00:24:27,916 --> 00:24:28,500

you wanna share?

:

00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:31,791

Take one day at a

:

00:24:31,791 --> 00:24:32,583

time, always.

:

00:24:33,333 --> 00:24:34,791

Just get through

:

00:24:34,791 --> 00:24:35,291

the day.

:

00:24:35,541 --> 00:24:36,875

If you're doing

:

00:24:36,875 --> 00:24:37,375

something that

:

00:24:37,375 --> 00:24:37,875

you know you

:

00:24:37,875 --> 00:24:38,500

really don't

:

00:24:38,500 --> 00:24:38,916

wanna do, you

:

00:24:38,916 --> 00:24:39,291

have a done to

:

00:24:39,291 --> 00:24:39,833

disappointment or

:

00:24:39,833 --> 00:24:40,500

you have a big

:

00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:41,208

exam that you're

:

00:24:41,208 --> 00:24:42,041

worried about or

:

00:24:42,041 --> 00:24:42,666

anything that

:

00:24:42,666 --> 00:24:43,000

you're just

:

00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:43,916

really dreading,

:

00:24:44,166 --> 00:24:45,000

it's one day of

:

00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,625

your life out of

:

00:24:46,625 --> 00:24:47,958

thousands of

:

00:24:47,958 --> 00:24:48,583

days, tens of

:

00:24:48,583 --> 00:24:49,250

thousands of days

:

00:24:49,250 --> 00:24:49,791

in your

:

00:24:49,791 --> 00:24:50,291

total life.

:

00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,541

So it's never as

:

00:24:52,541 --> 00:24:53,458

bad as you're

:

00:24:53,458 --> 00:24:55,125

going to create

:

00:24:55,125 --> 00:24:55,791

in your mind

:

00:24:55,791 --> 00:24:56,416

that it is.

:

00:24:57,291 --> 00:24:57,750

And if somebody

:

00:24:57,750 --> 00:24:58,500

wants to hop on

:

00:24:58,500 --> 00:24:59,291

over, they love

:

00:24:59,291 --> 00:25:00,083

your vibe, they

:

00:25:00,083 --> 00:25:01,000

love Madison like

:

00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,166

I do and they

:

00:25:02,166 --> 00:25:02,708

wanna check out

:

00:25:02,708 --> 00:25:03,166

some of your

:

00:25:03,166 --> 00:25:03,750

content.

:

00:25:03,750 --> 00:25:04,333

Where do they go?

:

00:25:05,916 --> 00:25:06,416

A lot of

:

00:25:06,416 --> 00:25:07,000

different places.

:

00:25:07,958 --> 00:25:08,541

That Girl in a

:

00:25:08,541 --> 00:25:09,041

Blazer is

:

00:25:09,041 --> 00:25:09,625

definitely my

:

00:25:09,625 --> 00:25:10,375

biggest account

:

00:25:10,375 --> 00:25:11,000

that I run.

:

00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:11,916

I do a lot of

:

00:25:11,916 --> 00:25:12,708

corporate skits

:

00:25:12,708 --> 00:25:13,583

and I love them

:

00:25:14,083 --> 00:25:14,500

and that's

:

00:25:14,500 --> 00:25:15,666

content that I am

:

00:25:15,666 --> 00:25:16,750

very proud of.

:

00:25:18,333 --> 00:25:18,916

Okay, you can

:

00:25:18,916 --> 00:25:19,416

head on over

:

00:25:19,416 --> 00:25:20,000

there and watch

:

00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:20,666

her skits.

:

00:25:20,708 --> 00:25:21,166

I'm gonna be

:

00:25:21,166 --> 00:25:21,875

watching some of

:

00:25:21,875 --> 00:25:22,708

those and I'm

:

00:25:22,708 --> 00:25:23,250

sure some of them

:

00:25:23,250 --> 00:25:23,750

would be very

:

00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:24,791

relatable to

:

00:25:24,791 --> 00:25:25,958

internship

:

00:25:25,958 --> 00:25:26,625

scenarios

:

00:25:26,625 --> 00:25:27,333

as well.

:

00:25:27,583 --> 00:25:28,125

So you can have a

:

00:25:28,125 --> 00:25:28,833

laugh with those.

:

00:25:29,291 --> 00:25:30,041

I wanna say a big

:

00:25:30,041 --> 00:25:30,666

thank you for

00:25:30,666 --> 00:25:31,625

candidly, so

:

00:25:33,666 --> 00:25:34,416

vulnerably.

:

00:25:34,416 --> 00:25:35,166

We're so lucky to

:

00:25:35,166 --> 00:25:35,500

have you.

:

00:25:36,333 --> 00:25:36,916

Absolutely, thank

or just a much

00:25:51,750 --> 00:25:52,666

needed moment to

00:25:52,666 --> 00:25:53,541

world, I don't
