1
Thank you.
2
This bedroom is kind of like a time capsule because it really hasn't been touched ever.
3
Like it has not been changed in any way since I was a kid.
4
And there is some weird shit in here.
5
Like there is some weird shit in here.
6
and every time I come home, like I find new stuff.
7
Every single time.
8
I can go on like a treasure hunt in here and I'll always find something new and something weird
9
and something I didn't find the last time.
10
The only thing that's different about it is
11
that my dad decided to put all of his musical equipment in my room
12
and so now it kind of looks like a recording studio mixed with my childhood bedroom, but it's still my childhood bedroom.
13
Oh, is
14
this kindergarten?
15
Oh my god, that was me in kindergarten.
16
The haircut was kind of good.
17
Like, I would get that haircut again.
18
Kind of makes me want to get that haircut now.
19
You know, Like if it worked for her then, why wouldn't it work for me now?
20
It's the same me.
21
Yeah.
22
Holy shit.
23
These books were so good.
24
I would literally buy one of these from a bookstore and read the whole thing in like two days.
25
And they were so good.
26
I think I'm going to read this again.
27
Like hopefully I'm not too old to read it.
28
You know when you like go back and you look at something again
29
that you used to love when you were a kid.
30
And it's just like not the same now that you're older.
31
Like that might happen with this book.
32
But I'm gonna give it a try.
33
I might read it later.
34
I remember getting these with my mom for back to school.
35
And so my mom and I went to go get me, you know, new shoes for the school year.
36
And I remember I picked these out and I remember I got home and I
37
forced my mom to let me put them on
38
and I just ran around the house for like two hours in these
39
and I thought that they were the sickest fucking shoes I'd ever seen in my life.
40
Unfortunately, they are hideous.
41
I had no idea.
42
I mean again, I was seven so like although Balenciaga came out with shoes
43
that looked just like this everybody would buy them so what does that say about society, you know?
44
Oh!
45
Oh!
46
This has milk stains all over it.
47
Those are milk stains.
48
I remember I used to wear this every morning and then
49
And then I would watch Napoleon Dynamite on the TV and eat my breakfast.
50
And my breakfast was usually some sort of cereal with milk.
51
And this thing has fucking milk all over it still.
52
Okay, thank God.
53
Why did I smell it?
54
I was obsessed with the idea of remote control powered toys as a kid.
55
I thought that was the most genius concept and the most exciting concept of all time.
56
It really never even knew how, it couldn't even fly.
57
These remote control toys for kids never actually work and it's so, such a heartbreaking thing for a kid to go through.
58
This was a school art project.
59
I say on here that I'm thankful for my teacher.
60
Which is exactly, like that is how you know I was teacher's pet because I really didn't need to do that.
61
But I was like, maybe I'll get a little extra love from the teacher
62
if I give her a little shout out on my art project.
63
That is manipulation and the fact that I was manipulating that young personally worries me.
64
Oh my god.
65
I don't know where my dad and I got this because neither of us wanted to eat it.
66
It just like sat on our kitchen counter for literally six months and then we started pranking each other with it.
67
So like I'd put it under his pillow.
68
He would put it on the back of the toilet seat.
69
You know, goofy shit like that.
70
There's this thing called needle felting where basically you take wool yarn almost
71
and you poke it with a needle over and over again, and then it starts to stick together and create like a little stuffed animal.
72
And so my mom and I got super into this for probably a month and then we never did it again.
73
I actually made this little bunny and honestly, super cute.
74
But I remember the process of creating these little things.
75
It was so time consuming and you'd accidentally poke yourself in the hand with a needle and it was like, it was really, it could get potentially frustrating,
76
which is why I quit making them.
77
Let's see.
78
Authentic Hello Kitty earring.
79
Literally, I could go on Depop and sell this for like $80 now.
80
I won't.
81
They're kind of- they're kind of- they're kind of good.
82
Wait, there's no way there's a fucking blockbuster coupon in here.
83
Valid from May 1st to June 15th.
84
2004. What the fuck?
85
Also, why is this in my room?
86
In 2004, I was three years old.
87
Like, this wouldn't have been abuse to me.
88
I don't think I knew how to use a coupon when I was that age.
89
Nooo.
90
Uh-uh.
91
Not the fucking Victoria's Secret pink sweet and flirty body mist.
92
That actually smells fucking terrible.
93
Oh my god, it literally- it just made me get like a minor eyebrow headache.
94
Yeah, that's pretty awful.
95
I thought I was such a baddie.
96
I would wear these to my little middle school dances.
97
I thought that like really truly boys were gonna finally like me if I wore these.
98
It might have been repelling them.
99
It reminds me of things I just don't want to think about ever again, you know?
100
This is like the type of thing I would beg my parents to buy me.
101
I would be like, you guys, no, you guys don't get it.
102
This is like going to change my life.
103
And then they'd be like, no, it won't.
104
So like for most kids, you know, they like play with a toy for a week and then they get bored of it.
105
Like for me, I probably was carrying this thing around for like six months and like never got sick of it.
106
And that's what, that's why I'm different from other kids and I'm not like other kids.
107
Stop it.
108
If these earrings ever come back, which just, I feel like they will because everything comes back.
109
Like I already have a stash.
110
I have every color.
111
I have a hard time believing that these were ever really actually cute.
112
Oh no. This is like all I knew how to paint.
113
So I just have like all these paintings of these weird triangle characters.
114
Like couldn't I have done like a square creature?
115
Like why did they all have to be triangles?
116
They don't understand.
117
It's fine, but...
118
Oh.
119
Was I trying to design clothes?
120
I don't know how old I was when I drew this.
121
Based on the handwriting, I must have been like 14.
122
If I were to show this to somebody who sews clothes, they would be like, babe, there's nothing there.
123
You didn't give us anything.
124
if you want this money you can have it thank you
125
for writing i do know how to make fairy homes
126
if you want me to i can
127
and since you are a since you are a fairy can
128
i grant some wishes please write dac listen like i i
129
need i need to explain a little bit i used to be obsessed with fairies
130
and I thought that fairies were real and I wanted to be a fairy and I wanted to meet fairies
131
and so I'd make fairy houses in my backyard
132
and you know things like that so that fairies could move in
133
and I'd write them little letters and that was
134
that situation um hi fairy I'm not a very good seller
135
but just writing to say hello from Emma to fairy please write back please I mean Um,
136
no. All about me.
137
Name, Emma Chamberlain.
138
Hair color, caramel.
139
Come on.
140
What does that even mean?
141
Occupations, cello, and needle felting.
142
I played the cello.
143
No, listen, this is complete bullshit.
144
I played the cello for literally six months in middle school.
145
And on this all about me school project, I decided that it would be appropriate to say
146
that my occupation was playing cello as if I knew anything about the cello.
147
Like I took orchestra class in middle school, but I didn't actually like know how to play the cello.
148
Like I didn't know what is going on.
149
What is that?
150
I didn't know how to play the cello.
151
I was like faking it.
152
Like when we would do performances for our families and stuff, like I would just pretend like I was playing the cello.
153
I wasn't even actually playing it.
154
Needle filting on the other hand, I mean, I showed you earlier, like I was definitely doing that, you know, for like a month.
155
Favorite food, pasta, true.
156
Favorite band, the shins in the Beatles.
157
Okay, favorite book, Dear Dumb Diary.
158
Wait, I wonder if I can find that.
159
This was my absolute favorite book.
160
It was so edgy.
161
It's like journal entries.
162
I mean, they're not real.
163
Fake journal entries from this girl and they're all funny.
164
And I mean, this book was genuinely, this book shaped who I am today.
165
Oh my God.
166
This might seem insignificant to some, but these tank tops with the built-in training bra, my God, when I bought one of these, I was like, yes, I am a woman.
167
Maybe I'm losing my mind, you know?
168
Stuff like this, it is like an artifact.
169
Like it should go in a museum.
170
And like this tiny little iPhone 4 case, I mean like this stuff deserves to go in a museum.
171
Like this stuff is rare.
172
I sewed this myself, like cute, like it's cute.
173
I had this phase where I would just wear Old Navy fleece pajamas everywhere.
174
I would wear them to the mall.
175
I would wear them to the grocery store.
176
I would have worn them to school if it wasn't against dress code.
177
You can get away with it when you're 11, but when you're older, it's just not good anymore.
178
Oh my God, should I use it?
179
This is literally 10 years old.
180
How does it still work?
181
Do I need to call poison control?
182
I probably shouldn't have used that.
183
These were all the rage.
184
All the girlies would be fighting each other over who had the most flavors of these EOS lip balms.
185
It was like not good for the community.
186
Like people, and like they were like selling out at stores.
187
Everybody was fighting over these.
188
It was really, it really caused some violence these things.
189
I mean, you can just tell that these haven't been touched in, you know, 12 years.
190
Like they just, you can tell.
191
They just have that look.
192
Like you know when you go into your grandma's nail polish drawer
193
and you pull out nail polish and it just looks like this because it's just been sitting there
194
untouched for 10 years longer 20 years fuck it what else
195
is in here I mean it's like I swear to god
196
it's never-ending you guys oh fuck I just stepped on an
197

198
so like this one just got shoved in that drawer over there.
199
This is such a good, this is such a good hat.
200
I feel like I just won the lottery.
201
See, look, I'm, this is like productive.
202
Me digging through my room is productive.
203
I swear.
204
I feel so bad for my parents
205
because I used to make them take me to like those places where you can paint pottery all the time.
206
Just for me to be this bad at painting pottery.
207
Like I had zero artistic ability and I just feel bad for them.
208
You know, the amount of money they spent
209
and like this is what their daughter made you know
210
and I mean they're good sports
211
but it's just look at my fancy little Easter dress I
212
even had a purse wait what does an 11 year old keep in their purse let's find out
213

214
so definitely won't be eating these although part of me kind of wants to eat one
215
and just see what like what What happened?
216
Yeah, I don't want to do that, actually.
217
Everybody's mom made their Halloween costumes for them growing up, I feel like.
218
This was one of my moms.
219
It's honestly fucking great.
220
I was the corpse bride, and it's like this white dress that has dirt all over it, fraying, you know, lace and stuff.
221
She killed it.
222
This is gorge.
223
I wish I could say that like I was some sort of visionary as like a six-year-old when it came to painting.
224
It's just not the case.
225
It's just not the case.
226
Not everybody is built like that.
227
So I love when I find journals.

What, why?
274
There was like this certain era, it was like 2008 through like 2013,
275
where like everybody was making the weirdest decisions.

People were obsessed with duct tape.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
