Being an adult who doesn't have their own place yet

and the rent prices are so high I'm probably not moving out anytime soon.

My room is the closest thing I'm going to get to my own apartment.

That's why I like to take pride and joy into my space, making it somewhere I'm comfortable to just spend time, do the things I like, gaming.

Whatever I like to do, majority of it is done in my room.

I live in a big family home and it's the only place I can get privacy.

So it only makes sense to invest my money in tech, furniture, gadgets, whatever I need to make this room the best it possibly can be.

This is now my second room that I've built and I get so much love on TikTok.

The videos go viral every time I post my room.

So I think it's only right for me to show you

guys how to actually rebuild your room into your personal space and make it the best it possibly can be.

The first thing you've got to do, get rid of all the clutter, all them GCSE school books under your bed, all the clothes you don't use.

either sell them on ebay vinted get some money back you just need to create space

and just get rid of the stuff you don't need there's

no point holding onto stuff i feel like once you do

this you're ready to move on to a new chapter fresh mind fresh clean space

and you just have more space essentially to work with to

build your room i know some of you guys have overflowing wardrobe with clothes

that don't even fit you anymore i remember my old room i had clothes from

when i was 15 polo shirts things like that

so yeah give them away sell them whatever you can do

just get rid of them now once you got rid of

everything you need to kind of look at your room

and realize my room has been built like this by an

architect for a reason they put gaps in walls a space for your bed

if your bed doesn't slot right into a spot more

so than likely either your bed is too big or

that space there wasn't created for your bed

so look at your space measure the gaps

and see whether you can have like a double single queen

size bed look at your wardrobe some rooms come built in

with wardrobes some might have little gaps some might not it's

like a puzzle you have to kind of fit things where they work.

Every room needs a bed and a wardrobe.

So those are the first two things you should be prioritising

and then you can kind of work with your space accordingly to see

if you can fit for example a desk a tv unit whatever is your fancy basically

but i think majority of us are in the same position where we go to school

or working or working from home

so a desk is kind of essential in every room so

if you do have the space i would say look for a desk

that suits you some people might need desk storage some people might want to stand in this

because they don't want to be sitting too long i have a standing desk and

honestly do i use it not much but i like the way it's simplistic

and i don't have a lot of stuff to store

so it generally just fits whatever i need

and also guys please manage your cables properly i don't want

to see cables hanging down from behind buy some things off

amazon i think they're called cable cable holders you can stick it under your desk i have

that and that's

when you see no cables hanging around under no clutter no mixed up wires it's all hidden at the bottom

and stuck to my desk now

when it comes to picking your monitor you want to pick a monitor

that fits whatever you need

if you know you are into gaming you might want to be looking to oled

if you know you are you are into for example editing

you want to get something with 100 color accuracy get whatever fits your fancy

if you want 28 inch of your space 32 inch

if your desk is bigger there's no right

or wrong answer you've just got to figure out what works for you

so what might work for me might not work for you.

I currently have a Samsung Odyssey G5 32 inch.

It's a gaming monitor and has 90% color accuracy.

So when I am editing and I export straight from the monitor, sometimes I see the colors aren't the same as when I was editing on here.

You also want to get a monitor arm.

This essentially just holds your monitor up, allows you to put anything under

and gives you more of a cleaner look rather than having the little pole at the bottom

and you can't even put anything under the desk under the

monitor i have a monitorizer i bought this off etsy it's like a wooden one it's really nice

and i just store my laptop um ssd cards whatever kind of clutter

that will be lying around i will just store it in

there it just gives me a nice space for my keyboard my um playstation pad whatever I'm doing, there's a lot of space for me to kind of actually work with.

And with the actual desk space, get a mouse pad.

It's a lot nicer to use your mouse on the mouse pad compared to the desk and get whatever keyboard, mouse, if you're a gamer or normal.

Just get what fits you.

There's no right or wrong.

Just do your research and find what fits you.

I'm also really big on sound.

I've got these Edifier speakers.

You can get any speaker, but I just like when I'm cleaning my room or when I'm chilling and gaming, the sound is there it's proper nice like it actually is better than it just coming from your laptop

or your monitor

audio quality is a lot better

and yeah you don't have to break the bank there's some speakers you can get for like 40 50 pounds

so whatever fits your budget i think that's worth everything you've got to understand

that furniture bedroom gadgets you've got to get what you can afford you don't want to go too far

but you've got to understand that there's gadgets for every budget as well

so just look for what you need you don't have to

build your room in one day you can build it over

time you can do your bed your your wardrobe then build your desk over time now

that you've got your bed your wardrobe your desk set up

i think this is majority of the essentials you need in your room now it's time for the creative part

and where you make your room more personal i think the

best way to do this is with wall art you could

get posters frames plant pots whatever you're into whatever you have to look at your room

and be like oh i have space here this looks empty

what can i put here i'm into japanese art i like football i've got football frames you can

so you can look come into my room

and you can tell this is junior's room

because you can see all the stuff i like and

100

but don't go on google and just type our home decorations

101

and then you see like a night plant and just buy or whatever, actually look into what you like and actually go deeper

102

because there's some stuff at the bottom of the search that may be better, the things that are recommended or whatever.

103

And you don't want your room to be a carbon copy of someone else's you've seen on Pinterest or TikTok.

104

Some people also like to add a rug.

105

I did have a rug, but I threw it away because it was so dirty.

106

So i think i need to get a new one

107

but i do like my room about a rug it just actually feels kind of bigger

108

so last but not least all of our rooms come with these weird yellowish lights

109

and honestly it just kind of ruins the vibe of your

110

room get some leds wall lights monitor bars control the color

111

and don't put the leds out in the open i think

112

that's what we used to do in like 2020 no put

113

them behind your monitor put them behind your shelves desk

114

when you do it like that it kind of illuminates onto the wall

115

and it looks cleaner everything looks cleaner seamless it doesn't look forced

116

and tacky and then you can pick colors

117

that right now we've got blue purple just pick your vibe

118

whatever you're feeling on the day there's like it just feels a lot nicer now

119

when you have built your room it's not about just building it

120

and leaving it

121

that you've got to take care of your room you've got

122

to clean it you've got to make sure the scent's all

123

right have some candles some reed diffusers clean your room once

124

a week this not only is it good for your space

125

but it actually teach you to be a man

126

when you actually need to move out your house

127

because you're you're already accustomed to looking after a small room

128

so when you get your own apartment cleaning your room doing your laundry things like

129

that you're just going to be so used to it

130

and you'll be you're you're training to be a man

131

and live by yourself basically and be more independent i like the way like room content

132

and people are taking more pride in their rooms um before

133

was not the case i used to be someone i never cared clothes all the place different color furniture

134

and everything nothing matches

135

and yeah i like i like this new kind of trend of everyone rebuilding the room

136

and having nice rooms at the end of the day making

137

your room is like a puzzle you've got to figure out

138

where things fit you've got you've got to think what works

139

well what decoration works well once you hit your creative side

140

and understand what works and what doesn't then you'll have the most perfect room

141

and before you buy something envision it measure things make sure

142

they fit don't have a wardrobe sticking out don't have odd

143

colors make sure you pick a color scheme before you start hopefully this was informative

144

and helped you guys with rooms

145

if there's any knowledge you guys want me to pass on

146

or whatever let me know thank you guys for watching peace

¿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.
