Hey guys, it's Zedd.

Wow, holy hell!

No TV, no light!

In my mind, there's nobody that can convince me that there's anything better than a Midwest summer.

I did come back to Minnesota for a good amount of the summer because I just love it here.

I feel so happy this time of year.

My point is this is going to be the best summer vlog you've ever seen in your life, besides my other summer vlogs from the years before.

I will romanticize anything

that is like possibly able to be romanticized at all times.

So even just getting a cup of coffee in Minnesota, I have to sit by the lake.

Lake.

Oh my God.

It's a river.

oh my god i went to this new coffee shop i

honestly forget the name of it let's do a little taste test wow pretty solid

and this time i did remember to wait to share it

with you guys i saw this as i was checking out

and i sort of panicked ordered it because i realized i was very hungry

this is good okay panic order gone right i sort of

have been thinking about how i'm in the age range now where every single time

that i go on social media i'm seeing an engagement

or a pregnancy announcement or possibly a move and someone buying a new house.

And people obviously aren't doing this to like make me feel bad or make anyone feel bad, but it really like subconsciously affects me.

I've noticed I feel sort of shitty about myself.

Can I say that?

Yeah, whatever.

I feel shitty about myself half the time

when I look at stuff like that because I immediately have the personality where I just like start to compare.

I don't know why I've always been this way.

Even in high school, I think comparison in my 20s is much worse than the comparison

that I had in high school in high school maybe it was like about grades

or like what calls you're getting into but in your 20s there are

so many different versions of accomplishments

and i feel like everyone has sort of a different value system with it the people

that like want to have a family really young i feel

like oh wait i'm supposed to already have kids at the age of 26

and i'm not even married

but then the next day i'll see someone who bought a house

and maybe that's their version of success

or someone else who's like traveling the world and single

and then i think that that's another different version of success

that I should have

so I don't even know why I'm why did I start

talking about this I don't know I'm trying to stay off social media

because I've been struggling recently with that and I think maybe

because I just turned 26 I'm especially feeling like the pressure

of time oh I think I just ate the tin foil

I'm going to go to the next one.

There's this vintage store that I love here.

It's called Revival.

I think it's kind of new, but they always have like the best curation and selection of like vintage pieces.

I'm going on a little lake trip soon so I want to see if there's like a cute swimsuit.

I just

got the coolest beach cover-up.

I actually don't think it's supposed to be for a beach cover-up but that's how I'm planning on using it.

I can't wait to show you guys.

I'm going to show you in a little bit.

Sorry to leave you hanging.

I really need to show you guys the vision I have with it.

I think I'm just gonna walk around.

Honestly, I don't really have a plan.

They have the cutest little boutiques and antique shops here.

So I think I'll just see what I find.

Can I do a strawberry ice cream cone, please?

Obviously, I had to get ice cream.

This place has the best strawberry ice cream.

I don't even really like strawberry ice cream usually.

what's something about this is so good

and fresh i did not forget to show you guys the top i got

because this is probably one of my favorite vintage store thrift finds in a

while i did have such a perfect day today it was

so hot though it's like 95 degrees right now this is the top

that i got at the vintage shop i feel like i'm really hyping this up

but i thought it was so unique

and different i think the combination of these two colors plus the fact

that it's mesh is what really appealed to me

and I just immediately thought

that this would be perfect for sort of like a swimsuit cover-up moment especially

because I'm going on a lake trip in a couple days I thought this was perfect.

Anyways I'm home now I think my family and I are going to do a little bonfire tonight.

it's dinner time

and my mom made chicken caesar wraps for us per my

request one of the best parts about going home is honestly

having my mom cook dinner again i never fully appreciated her cooking dinner for me until i turned 18

and moved out so when i'm home i love when she cooks here Here is the little spread.

I'm setting the table tonight.

I also recently discovered how to make a healthier version of the Arnold Palmer and it's so good.

I have to show you guys how i make this

but this has to go if we have this though i thought it was pretty well it's so aesthetic

so we were supposed to have a bonfire and then um we're having issues we were gonna have some S'mores.

But it failed.

Sad.

I mean, we could get it to work, maybe.

Maybe.

We got the fire, guys.

I love a good s'more, and I have a little method to how I make them.

Actually, not that deep.

Oh, gosh.

It's burnt now.

100

Oh, whoopsies.

101

Alright, making s'more.

102

My dad's not making him anything.

103

He doesn't like s'mores.

104

He's a hater.

105

Dad, why don't you like s'mores?

106

Marshmallow's my least favorite.

107

I like chocolate, you know?

108

If you like them all individually, why don't you like them together?

109

Together, they're just mush.

110

Mush?

111

Put one of the chocolates on one side and the other on the other.

112

The perfect s'more.

113

Doesn't this look good?

114

Oh, that does look good.

115

Dad, are you sure you don't want to try? yeah

116

good morning guys i have transported to canada i'm actually in muskoka wow definitely said

117

that wrong i'm here for an event

118

and i was like why don't i vlog because look how beautiful this is this is

119

my dream summer location i'm here for a day

120

and a half super short and i'm with my friend kiana i'm gonna go up

121

because breakfast started three minutes ago and i'm late they have ninja machines with frozen coffee here

122

I just ate so many pancakes, but we are now about to swim.

123

I have on the suite.

124

I need to show you guys my bikini because it's really cute.

125

Bikini I got on Shopbop.

126

The brand's Atern.

127

It's so pretty.

128

Okay, we're jumping in the water.

129

Wait, how are we doing this?

130

Kiana and I are making a really cute little video when we're here.

131

So we're going to run and jump off this dock.

132

All right, I'm wiped and I realize I have no stamina

133

when it comes to treading water anymore

134

so we're gonna get ready i'm gonna shower

135

and then we're gonna go on a boat kind of feels counterintuitive to shower

136

and then boat i rinsed off yeah i need like a

137

little rinse yeah i missed kiana i need you oh my god

138

Good morning

139

guys this morning i woke up to it raining

140

and usually i would be not happy about

141

that for some reason i'm not one of the people like

142

i hate the rain i just it makes me instantly sad

143

but this feels sort of nice and so calming i think

144

because i'm on the lake this is my current outfit situation it's very lake-esque this is also what i slept in

145

here she is everybody we are doing an advice sesh

146

I was wondering if you could give me some advice on a situation a guy liked me

147

and we started dating but he cheated on me with his ex-girlfriend

148

and now I'm scared to get into relationships what do I do I immediately read this

149

and I felt a certain way which is why I chose it I understand

150

that you'd feel hesitancy into entering a new relationship I've never been cheated on so I can't say, but that makes a lot of sense to have trust issues.

151

But I also think you owe it to yourself to give yourself another opportunity to fall in love with someone new.

152

You deserve to experience love again.

153

You should afford yourself that opportunity.

154

I was shoot-on as a little 16-year-old.

155

Aw.

156

And not really, kind of.

157

Honestly, guys, I'm going to be so real.

158

It didn't really bother me that much, but I think...

159

Sorry like Sydney said you owe it to yourself to rewrite

160

what a relationship means we don't know we don't know we don't know what people do to us

161

and we're putting our hearts in their hands but would you rather do

162

that would you rather let someone scar you

163

and be forever changed in a negative way you don't let

164

that become part of who you are

165

and also don't ignore the bad flags yeah there probably were some

166

and if somebody else is talking to you about their ex then And maybe don't take this.

167

It's always the red flags in the beginning that come out stronger later on.

168

And you owe it to yourself.

169

You owe yourself the opportunity.

170

Wish you the best, Buki.

171

Yeah, we wish you the best.

172

Wish you the best.

173

Bye.

¿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.
