Good morning, guys.

It's Sid.

I was looking at my own YouTube channel last night,

which sort of feels weird.

I got really sad because I realized I haven't filmed an Alone But Not Lonely video in,

I think, like four months.

So obviously that's what we're doing today.

I'm getting ready.

We're gonna hang out together.

I actually have literally nothing planned,

but I thought that that would be more fun and more spontaneous to just frolic around New York together.

so i ended up in the west village like i said

i have no plan for today also i have a new

camera do you guys like it can you tell canon sent

me this camera guys like probably biggest moment of my career

that is like crazy i've literally used canon since i started

my youtube journey i'm walking nowhere oh i think this is

the friend's apartment building i think right there right somewhere up

there i used to live over here guys this was my first neighborhood

that i moved to in new york

and i would always go to the brandy cafe

and it just reopened apparently yes brandy melville has a cafe

if you didn't know kind of blew my mind

when i you know discovered this i used to go all the time now

that i'm here i feel like i need to go solely for nostalgic purposes so

guys it feels so good to be back here they actually closed this cafe down for i think like six months.

I don't know why.

It looks the exact same now.

If anyone knows, please tell me.

I'm so glad that they're back.

My prayers were answered.

I actually can't believe how long I've lived in New York.

I think it's been almost three years now.

I was thinking when I used to live here,

I would always come to this spot

and it just made me reminisce about moving and like living in New York and how far I've come.

I moved here.

I literally had no friends.

Guys, I'm not even and exaggerating.

I knew zero people.

And now I feel like I have such a community of friends.

I feel so happy here now.

Okay, not me getting sentimental on a Friday morning at 11 a.m.

I'm just gonna hang out, people watch.

That's my favorite thing to do ever, if you know me.

And then I don't know what I'm gonna do, which I usually hate.

I'm so type A, but I'm trying to just go with the flow.

So I did stumble upon this.

A rack full of city bikes.

Something about me, I'm always gonna pick the electric bike.

Would you guys believe me if I told you I was about to go golf right now?

Because I am.

Golf is the last thing I ever expected myself to enjoy.

But my boyfriend loves to golf.

And since we started dating a couple years ago,

I have also learned to enjoy it with him.

At first, I did hate it.

But the more I did it,

the more I understood the art of golf, how hard it is.

And I've kind of come to appreciate it.

I was biking right past the Chelsea Pier,

which is where I come to the driving range sometimes.

Forewarning, I'm not good, okay?

I feel like I just hyped myself up.

I'm actually pretty bad.

But I do think it's fun.

And I always come with someone, though.

I've never come alone.

So do people do this alone?

i feel like yes i'm cutting the driving range for lefty

all right i think i'm the only girl vlogging here right

now it's just a bunch of middle-aged men i'm also a lefty

which is really tough as a female to get lefty golf clubs they never have them anywhere

but this place luckily has a spare for me don't know why i'm a lefty i'm writing and everything else.

I'm yapping because I'm nervous about showing you guys my swing.

We're getting closer on a deeper level.

Oh God, oh God, oh God,

oh God, that was so bad.

I just like hit the tarp.

guys, I'm sweating.

I took off my coat.

My biggest fear in golf is somehow letting go of my golf club

when I'm swinging it and flinging it off into the distance.

I don't know why, like,

how this fear even started.

I don't know if this is,

like, a unique fear, but I just worry that I'm gonna,

like, let go and hit someone.

I don't know.

I am done though.

This was so fun and spontaneous.

I maybe I should really be more spontaneous.

My type A personality doesn't usually allot for this type of thing.

Okay guys, fun and games are over.

I'm so hungry.

I need to find food right now.

I'm waltzing around trying.

Waltzing?

Why did I say that?

100

I'm walking around trying to find food.

101

okay all that golf worked up an appetite I guess

102

someone seriously fired me from this job of doing YouTube

103

because I bought my food

104

and I didn't even show it before I ate it I got my favorite bagel

105

which is sesame seed bagel from Leon's with veggie cream cheese.

106

I forgot.

107

That was pending.

108

This was the first thing I saw.

109

It really didn't take much for me.

110

Anything would have sounded appealing.

111

I was so hungry.

112

I love Leon's, but to be honest,

113

pop-up bagels are always going to be number one for me.

114

Nothing can come between me and pop-up bagels except for the fact that they were closed.

115

It is so beautiful out and I kind of just wanted to sit.

116

I'm sitting in Washington Square Park.

117

I love this park.

118

I love people watching.

119

I love seeing everything that's going on.

120

Unfortunately, the weather does determine my mood,

121

so I'm taking it in.

122

It hasn't been sunny the past few days.

123

I'm enjoying it.

124

I realized I was really close to one of my favorite vintage stores that I haven't been to in a while.

125

This place is in Soho.

126

They just always have the best pieces.

127

I actually didn't get anything,

128

which is probably for the best.

129

I did consider this top for a second though as like a top dress that I could wear.

130

Please don't say you like it that much because then I'm going to regret not having bought it.

131

Okay guys, so we have some good news and some bad news.

132

Good news is I'm about to go out with my friends.

133

Bad news is we lost a ring.

134

I lost my ring.

135

I think I left my Ophelia ring at the driving range.

136

I looked down and it's gone.

137

So that's a shame.

138

I mean, at least it's my own jewelry brand.

139

I can easily get a new one.

140

I wanted to do my little advice session.

141

These I think are so fun.

142

I hope you guys like these as much as I do.

143

I get quite a few messages from you guys

144

so I always try to pick something like a little bit different each video.

145

As always it is completely anonymous.

146

Hey Sydney I just wanted to let you know how much I love your videos.

147

I'm from Hudson Wisconsin and it's really inspiring to see someone from a nearby area doing what they love.

148

I've been thinking of starting my own channel and doing vlogs,

149

but I'm having trouble getting started.

150

Do you have any advice?

151

Thanks so much, Natalie.

152

I think a lot of people get in their own way when they're trying to start social media.

153

Really, all it takes is a phone, a camera.

154

It doesn't need to be the best camera in the world.

155

And I think the best advice I have is to just start.

156

If you try to be too perfect about it,

157

it just, first of all,

158

it won't come off as authentic.

159

And secondly, you don't really learn until you do something.

160

Just do it.

161

Like wake up tomorrow and start.

162

I feel like the first videos are probably the hardest.

163

And I would also say,

164

which is so much easier said than done,

165

don't let what people think of you get in the way.

166

I think for me, something I struggled with when I first started,

167

when I was like 13,

168

was people in school like making fun of my videos or seeing them.

169

But if you let your fear of what people think of you stop you from making videos,

170

to me, those people win.

171

And that's like not fair for you.

172

You deserve, if you want to make videos,

173

to make them and post them.

174

Everyone starts somewhere.

175

Everyone starts at zero.

176

So try to just remember why you're doing it.

177

If you're doing it for the reason of loving videos and like loving what you're making,

178

always make what you love because I think you can't really be successful

179

if you don't like what you're making and just be yourself.

180

So cliche, but so true.

181

And I think people can just so read through that.

182

I need to go like literally two minutes ago, I needed to leave.

183

So I'm gonna go to my friends.

184

Hey guys, it's girls night.

185

I'm with Johnny and Liz.

186

Hi.

187

Look what Johnny put together for us.

188

A little bored.

189

We've been digging into the popcorn.

190

The popcorn is the best.

191

We've been yapping Friday night, crazy Friday night.

192

Wild.

193

Guys, we all went to the same college,

194

but we didn't know each other.

195

So crazy.

196

I love that fun fact though.

197

Yeah, fun fact.

198

Shout out Justin.

199

Shout out Justin!

200

We love you!

201

Big shout out to Justin!

202

Cheers!

203

I'm like, I'll want this.

204

Shout out to Justin!

205

Well guys, here we are again.

206

Outro failed.

207

Okay.

208

Oh!

209

My hand is orange.

210

I'm filming this right now because I just got a DM saying you better remember to do an outro.

211

One of you guys really held me accountable and I really respected it.

212

But seriously, thank you guys so much for watching.

213

I feel like I never just say how grateful I am for you guys.

214

So just wanted to say that and that I love you if you have any videos you want to see from me,

215

by the way Please let me know I read like all the comments

216

and i'll do more of these alone But not lonely videos because I missed them so much Love you guys.

217

Bye

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
