1
Hey guys, it's Syd.
2
Wow, these videos make me seem like I literally have no friends.
3
I actually do.
4
Today I'm spending yet another day alone.
5
One of my favorite things is to be alone.
6
Basically this is just us hanging out together.
7
It's kind of how I think about it.
8
I woke up this morning,
9
made some yogurt for breakfast.
10
We'll see how long this yogurt bowl situation lasts.
11
I give it about a month until I'm bored of it.
12
all right let's go get coffee i don't know what's come over me
13
but the past month i have been
14
so obsessed with city biking nothing can come between me
15
and this bike like even in times where i don't need to take the bike I could easily walk.
16
I choose the bike.
17
It's just so fun.
18
So I'm gonna bike to,
19
I don't know, I think I'm gonna try this like new coffee shop that I found on TikTok as always.
20
Ignore the earbuds.
21
I really need to like elevate my production system around here.
22
I'll do an iced latte with vanilla and skin, please.
23
Okay, guys, so I'm trying a new coffee shop today.
24
Guys, I can't make videos anymore.
25
I'm going to blow away.
26
This is the last you're ever going to see me.
27
I'm having trouble conceptualizing the fact that seven-year-old girls just went to get an iced matcha.
28
They went on an iced matcha date.
29
I don't think I knew what matcha was until I was like 16.
30
But I support it.
31
It was cute.
32
This coffee tastes great.
33
It's almost like a little bit nutty.
34
I love it, minus the hair that I'm also tasting.
35
I love finding new coffee shops.
36
I would say it's a hobby of mine.
37
When people ask, what do I like to do?
38
This is what I like to do.
39
Recently, I've been really wanting to have a picnic.
40
I don't know why, but I've asked a few friends.
41
I've like tried to make it work and it just hasn't.
42
And obviously, I don't know.
43
I always think if you want to do something,
44
you should just do it,
45
even if it's by yourself.
46
So I'm going to take myself on a little picnic date,
47
I think in Central Park.
48
Oh, look at the dogs.
49
But I don't have really anything for the picnic.
50
So I think I'm going to go to Marshall's.
51
They always have the best selections for like such a great price.
52
So I'm going to head there now.
53
Thank you to Marshall's for working with me on this video.
54
It feels so nostalgic for me because I remember going to Marshalls with my mom so much growing up.
55
And they have so many cool things,
56
like so many nice designer finds too.
57
Basically, I'm taking myself on a little date today.
58
I've been loving these like sequin type bags for summer.
59
Like this is so cute.
60
So I have a lot of stuff.
61
I'm kind of in between a few things.
62
I just found this navy blue cardigan.
63
I love the material on this.
64
I also love this short sleeve sweater.
65
I just love how every The Marshall store is different.
66
There's always different things that you can find at all of them.
67
I also love looking at all of the different designer stuff that they have.
68
It's one of my favorite things about Marshall's.
69
There's so many great brands at like such great prices.
70
They also have tons of snacks.
71
So I might get some for the picnic and just like make it really cute.
72
I want it to be really cute for literally just myself.
73
One of my favorite things to get here are their candles because they have so many.
74
I'm gonna try to find a new one and smell every single one because I'm indecisive.
75
Shopping spree complete.
76
I made it back home.
77
I wanna show you guys some of the ones I got because I'm so excited about them.
78
Should I do a little try on haul?
79
All right, starting off, I got this blue navy tank along with some linen pants.
80
I love a good cozy pair of linen pants for summer.
81
And then I also saw these beautiful braided sandals,
82
which I thought were so pretty.
83
I don't have any brown sandals like this in my closet.
84
I'm trying to figure out what to wear for my picnic.
85
Guys, look, I'm wearing color for once.
86
I feel like brunettes look really good in blue.
87
No hate to blondes.
88
Is it, am I even right about that?
89
I love this little blue cardigan.
90
Kind of like to tuck it like this.
91
Also with these linen pants and sandals, so cute.
92
The past like six months,
93
I've been on the hunt for a good cardigan.
94
I saw this one, which I thought was such a nice staple piece.
95
I loved it so much.
96
I got it also in white because I need the same thing in every color for some reason.
97
At the end when I was leaving,
98
I saw this white button down top and I loved this little texture that it has.
99
Ooh, I kind of like this.
100
I like the white and like the beige.
101
Ooh, I also got this bag that I think would go with this so well.
102
I think this is the outfit guys.
103
Anyways, it's time for my date.
104
Kind of nervous.
105
Just kidding.
106
I also forgot that they have snacks there.
107
So I grabbed some little orange slices
108
which i already started to eat first date kind of nervous
109
so i'm
110
at my picnic say hi to everyone
111
i feel like i'm turning into like a dad joke person
112
and i hate that i have my snacks that i laid out
113
so beautifully oh
114
when i was at marshall's earlier i picked up a new notebook i filled my other one up
115
so i thought it was time to get a fresh new
116
journal i love how marshall's has literally everything stationary clothes even
117
these snacks like i never need to go anywhere else ever again i did want to say to you guys
118
that a lot of the times in these videos,
119
I feel like I watch them back
120
and it makes it look like I have my whole life together and like I'm so good at being alone.
121
But that is not the case.
122
For example, last week I was so lonely.
123
I kept calling my mom and like crying on the phone because I don't know,
124
just like one of those weeks where I felt just like alone in a big city especially
125
when you're friends
126
and everyone's like super busy with work it's no one's fault
127
it's just like part of life sometimes there's seasons where you're
128
gonna be alone more of the time than not i would also say
129
that just
130
because you're in a relationship you should still make sure you
131
do things alone i love my boyfriend i've been with him for like a year
132
and a half now i still think it's important as much
133
as i love spending time with him to also enjoy my
134
time alone do things alone maintain my relationship with myself on
135
top of it all it gets harder I think as you get older I'm sure as you have kids
136
so who knows I might be just super naive saying that
137
but it's something
138
that I think has actually even helped our relationship being able
139
to have a little bit of independence makes coming together like
140
even better somehow am I yeah I'm yapping now see it's
141
in seven minutes I need to stop welcome to our sterile
142
kitchen I always say I'm gonna like fix the lighting in
143
here it's just you guys accept me for me I'm about to make the same meal that I always make,
144
my taco bowls.
145
If you have recommendations of things that I can try that are healthy but also easy,
146
I'm gonna ask that you please let me know
147
because I have a feeling this is gonna run its course pretty soon and then I'm gonna be needing something new.
148
I have been cooking a lot more though and I've been really starting to like it.
149
What happened to me, I don't know.
150
Never did I think I'd see the day.
151
I used to absolutely hate cooking.
152
Maybe that's just getting older.
153
I don't know but whatever, I'm gonna cook.
154
as you can already see i'm cooking the ground beef i
155
always make sure to add a taco seasoning packet though my mom taught me
156
that they make the world's difference i also have some jasmine rice cooking
157
while that's going i start making the guac some ripe avocado onion tomato all chopped up with some cilantro lime
158
and salt trust me it is
159
so good guys like i promise you all right guys dinner
160
is served i went into a little bit more detail than usual
161
when i was making this
162
because I wanted you guys to be able to have the recipe
163
if you want and I forget the last time that I showed you guys.
164
It is so simple.
165
The main thing is making the guac.
166
Wow I'm really whipping this around like Disney Channel.
167
What makes these bowls good in my opinion is really the guac.
168
You can kind of customize it how you like.
169
Personally I love a lot of onion and cilantro and lime.
170
Pretty much everything.
171
I also always have crackers on the side with the extra guac
172
because it's probably my favorite thing that I make
173
and my boyfriend's told me it's also his favorite thing that I make if that says anything.
174
Foolproof meal, really.
175
For those of you that can't cook, I've been there.
176
Actually, I'm still there.
177
This one's pretty, pretty hard to mess up.
178
I'm not gonna lie.
179
Like, if you mess this up, you're bad.
180
I made a groundbreaking discovery this week.
181
I thought that anyone who ever cuts tomatoes would experience,
182
like, itchy fingers because this has always happened to me.
183
And then I found out that's not normal.
184
It apparently means you're like allergic or have contact dermatitis with the tomatoes,
185
but you can still eat them.
186
Until I asked someone, I thought everybody experienced that.
187
And that's why I hate cutting tomatoes,
188
especially my hands itch like uncontrollably.
189
Anyways, I felt like I needed to share that because if anyone else has this problem,
190
they deserve to know like I did.
191
join me for a getting unready video i am feeling very asmr right now maybe
192
because the candle it's like putting me in a mood
193
that is the candle i got earlier at marshall's i had
194
to burn it immediately you guys know what time it is
195
advice time it's been too long it's actually not been too
196
long it's been literally i think one video i also changed into this tank from earlier
197
because i just wanted to be cozy hey sydney i have a scenario i'd love your advice on in your next video.
198
I get in these random phases,
199
sometimes two times a week and sometimes multiple months,
200
where I simply don't feel like being social.
201
Not for anything my friends did wrong,
202
but I often accidentally end up ghosting them.
203
Even though this isolation is my choice,
204
it still makes me feel like crap and is no good for my mental health.
205
Thoughts.
206
I also used to be bad at texting people back and I realized as I got older,
207
the people that are important to me,
208
I really need to prioritize responding to.
209
Not immediately, like I totally get things happen,
210
but I was getting like pretty bad.
211
Guys, I was just lazy.
212
I was being lazy.
213
I don't know.
214
It's just not a nice thing to do
215
And I think i've worked hard to get better at that
216
And I just think of being in the other person's shoes How
217
that would feel like not getting a response for weeks from
218
someone even though nothing's wrong I feel like the best thing you can do though
219
If you do get in these phases is to like communicate
220
with your friends even just shooting them literally A two-second text being like hey, sorry.
221
I've been so busy.
222
I promise i'll get back to you later this week That's like all it takes
223
and that's something that i've been doing a lot more just so I don't feel so bad,
224
like not responding to people.
225
People usually understand, even just like a quick short memo,
226
like letting them know will probably mean a lot.
227
So that way they're not left completely hanging.
228
Since you said that this makes you feel bad,
229
if there's a way to like proactively prevent this from happening,
230
maybe a close friend you could trust,
231
you can tell them, hey,
232
I get in these funks sometimes.
233
If I don't respond, can you like call me out?
234
Or even like planning in advance,
235
like a few hangouts, like a month in advance,
236
couple of weeks in advance if it's possible.
237
I feel like one of the biggest things I've learned,
238
just like through any scenario,
239
is preventative measures or what helps in like so many life situations.
240
I also get in these phases and I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
241
If for a couple of weeks,
242
maybe I'm just feeling like,
243
maybe I'm feeling antisocial and I don't really see a lot of my friends.
244
I mean, that's like kind of normal,
245
but obviously if it's not making you feel good, then that's another story.
246
Do I look insane?
247
Did I get my, whatever, I don't even care.
248
Time for bed.
249
I love you guys.
250
Thanks so much for watching.
251
Also, thank you again to Marshalls for working with me.
252
This was so fun.
253
I love you guys And we'll see you in my next vlog.
254
Bye

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
