6
I love that you guys love these videos because they are honestly like pretty important to me.
7
I think it's so important to be able to enjoy your own company regardless of your situation.
8
My plan is to try new spots that I haven't tried.
9
Well that's very redundant.
10
Try new spots that I haven't tried.
11
I am going to take some of your guys's suggestions actually in the comments of my videos
12
and do some things that you guys have been recommending for me to do.
13
One of the things I do need to do is get a new eyebrow pencil
14

because mine ran out some of the other things I think
16

Halloween today happy Halloween everybody I actually forgot until I woke up this morning
19
but I'm excited to spend the day with you guys
20
and I hope it's reciprocated I hope you guys are as well Another day, another coffee shop.
21
I really love doing this with you guys, trying new spots together.
22
It feels like we're together.
23
And I decided to take a little bit of a commute to this one uptown
24
because I really wanted to try it out.
25
I'm on my way to the coffee shop.
26
I'm actually almost there, but I saw this Sephora.
27
You guys know I ran out of my eyebrow pencils, so I figured I would go in and grab one.
28
And I was in there for a good 20 minutes just swatching every single shade ever to exist.
29
It was kind of unnecessary.
30
Then I made it to the coffee shop called Bunny and Bro.
31
Did you even go to Sephora if you don't look like this after?
32
Probably not.
33
I am now at a new coffee shop.
34
This place is called Bunny and Bro Coffee.
35
You know, this looks like a dessert coffee.
36
You can see, I think there's marshmallow on top.
37
I love their marketing.
38
It's so cute.
39
They call this the golden hour latte.
40
And then I also got a blueberry muffin because I'm hungry.
41
I like it in here.
42
I really just love their logo.
43
I'm a sucker for a good logo.
44
Okay, this is really good.
45
Like the marshmallow cream that they have on top.
46
I've never had in a latte before.
47
It's definitely very sweet, but it's really good.
48
I'm gonna rate that an eight and a half out of ten.
49
Muffin time.
50
Oh, it kind of reminds me of the muffins
51
that I used to bake when i was young i like this another eight
52
and a half out of ten guys i just got home
53
to a delivery i've been waiting for this package i just
54
checked it's from quince you know what this means all time
55
when it comes to like an online order i cannot not open it the second i get it i got
56
so many new clothes from quince i've talked about quince before on here
57
so when they asked to work with me i kind of freaked out
58
so i'm gonna show you guys a little haul of the clothing that i I picked out from Quince.
59
And thank you, of course, to Quince for working with me.
60
We'll start with the first item, which is ironically what I'm wearing right now.
61
It's this beautiful, chunky, white cable knit sweater.
62
Everyone needs a perfect staple white sweater.
63
And this one is just so thick.
64
You can tell that it's such great quality and it actually is keeping me very warm.
65
Next, I got this cashmere beige sweater.
66
It's so beautiful.
67
I really wanted to pick out a lot of sweaters because in the fall, that's 90% of what I wear.
68
Everything looks just as good as it it does online, but it feels like just such high quality.
69
I got the same sweater, but in this dark gray color.
70
I wanted it in two different colors, because you guys know I love buying the same thing in like five different color ways for no reason.
71
I found out that the reason that they're able to keep their prices lower
72
while still having such good quality is
73
because they cut out the middleman in the supply chain by using a factory to direct model.
74
So it doesn't suffer the quality of the pieces
75
but still keeps it affordable the next top i got it's
76
this silk button-down blouse i really thought this would be a
77
great staple piece to have very chic i'm planning to layer this with either a white
78
or black tank i think this would be really pretty for
79
like a date night i also got this black sweater this is a cashmere button-down black sweater
80
and it is pretty heavy Again, for me, that just like indicates really good quality because it's so thick.
81
With something like this, I plan to layer it with something lace underneath would be really pretty to peek out at the top.
82
Quince is very sustainable though, I wanted to mention.
83
Whenever they can, they use organic materials and they're very conscious of their packaging.
84
Oh, and they also do free shipping on your orders.
85
And they do have a 365 day return window as well.
86
I have this brown ribbed tank.
87
Wearing chunky earrings with something like this is really nice.
88
And it's definitely something I save a lot on like my Pinterest boards.
89
Just another great simple staple piece.
90
Lastly, which I'm most excited about, are these black flats.
91
These are a staple shoe that I need because I don't always want to wear heels, especially in the wintertime.
92
I was like, you know what?
93
I need a good just basic pair of flats.
94
Let's do a comfortability test.
95
These fit so perfect.
96
Walk test.
97
It's great.
98
Ultimately, I really just like love Quince's mission statement.
99
They really focus on high quality pieces that are still accessible and affordable, which I definitely really appreciate.
100
So if you want to check out any of these pieces, I'll put a link in the description box for everything.
101
So you can just easily see all of the pieces that I showed.
102
Thank you guys again for working with me.
103
And I absolutely know you guys will love them too if you try them out.
104
So if you do, please let me know.
105
Anyways, that was my little haul.
106
I got a comment on a video a while ago suggesting that I go to the New York Public Library, which is actually insane that I haven't been yet.
107
That's what I'm gonna go do.
108
I've been waiting to do it with you guys because I didn't want to go alone.
109
I mean, I am technically alone, but I'm with you guys.
110
We're gonna head over there.
111
I think I'm gonna have to take the train so I should probably leave. so
112
so i just left the library it was
113
so beautiful in there i wish i could have like spoken more
114
but it was way too quiet
115
and i don't think i was allowed since i wasn't able to actually like check out any books.
116
I decided that on the way home I'm gonna stop at a bookstore.
117
There's this one that I- oh my gosh!
118
Wait guys, I just stumbled upon the Winter Festival at Bryant Park.
119
Um, hold that thought.
120
I think I'm gonna stop in here.
121
I didn't realize it was right here.
122
They do this every winter in New York and they have all these really cute little shops with like Christmas gifts, like holiday drinks, snacks, food, vendors.
123
So I'm gonna stop here first.
124
This is very spontaneous of me.
125
I've been trying to be more spontaneous
126
so it's kind of perfect guys I'm
127
so happy right now they have ice skating I totally forgot
128
that they had this I'm so happy that I just like stumbled upon this
129
so randomly it's
130
so fun here I need to come back with my friends
131
I actually want to do this for a vlog soon like Christmas in New York.
132
I want to do all of the holiday activities including this so stay tuned.
133
Let me know if you guys want to see that
134
but it's so fun here and it's just like so positive
135
and uplifting to see and when I'm alone I love to people watch.
136
It's like one of my favorite past times since you're kind of just like sitting in your own thoughts.
137
It's really like enjoyable and this is a good place to do that.
138
It is very unlike me to be such an early Christmas gift shopper
139
but when I was here I saw some things that I just couldn't pass up so I got my mom, mom stop watching this please, right now.
140
I got her a couple puzzles, her favorite thing ever.
141
I also got another gift for someone else that I can't say.
142
It is just such a great spot for gifts.
143
Anyways now I'm gonna head over to the library or bookstore because I do actually want to look at some books
144
But if you visit New York soon before Christmas is over, you should definitely stop by the Bryant Park Market.
145
They have everything.
146
So I just got back from the bookstore.
147
I love it in there.
148
I could just spend hours sitting in there.
149
The staff are just like so kind.
150
I just want to show you guys quickly what I got.
151
I picked up this book and this was actually on like the sale rack out front.
152
And the reason I got this is because there's no summary or like synopsis of what the book is about.
153
The title isn't even like on the cover.
154
They marketed it as like a mystery bookshelf.
155
So I truly have no idea like what this is about.
156
I briefly looked through.
157
I think it's fiction.
158
I'm really excited.
159
It is called, when you open it up, The Tangled Chord.
160
So I'm excited.
161
I've never done something like this where I truly have no idea what I'm about to read.
162
It's called The World's Oldest Mystery Bookstore, which is actually very fitting because this is a mystery book.
163
Right around this time, I tend to get my afternoon slump, meaning I just get really tired.
164
So sometimes I just do nothing and like sit on my phone.
165
So I kind of would rather go to the gym.
166
I mean, I definitely don't want to go, but I think I'll feel better.
167
I'm going to run.
168
Not run.
169
I mean, I'm going to run to the gym, as in walk, and then walk on the treadmill at the gym.
170
Okay, so I just threw on some self-tanner, which I know is kind of strange and probably not a good idea before I go work out.
171
But I don't really have a ton of time because I'm going to go out tonight to celebrate Halloween, and I just don't want to be pale.
172
Anyways, I'm changed.
173
Put on a little workout outfit, and I'm going to go to the gym.
174
okay guys i'm back home now i just always feel
175
so good and like calm after i work out of course i'm using actually the only mug
176
that i have and i'm not going to talk about it i'm done talking about this mug
177
but you already know how i feel about it anyways before
178
i get ready i decided to bring back my little advice
179
segments well i guess i never really got rid of them i didn't do them for while for some reason.
180
If you guys don't know, you can DM me on Instagram.
181
I keep it completely anonymous and I just answer like any advice that you need help with.
182
It could be about relationships, life, school, work, honestly anything.
183
Nothing makes me really qualified for this, but I do think sometimes it's nice to hear someone's opinion from an outside perspective on things.
184
At least that's what I do when I'm in a predicament.
185
I'm 24, going to turn 25, and as I've gotten older, I've lost friendships.
186
As of recently, I got so fed up with someone who I thought was my friend.
187
I've come to realize
188
that it was a very one-way friendship where I was always putting in the effort to ask to hang out.
189
I totally understand and I feel you and I've been there and I feel like everyone's been there.
190
Okay, I'm gonna keep going.
191
Once I mentioned to this person how I felt and the person got so defensive, then I thought things were going well until I've been asking this person to hang out recently.
192
She would respond with, sorry I can't and not even say I mentioned another day she's available.
193
This happened three times which made me just give up because she wasn't even trying to see me.
194
I started my first big girl job in August and the place I work has much older people.
195
It is extremely hard to make friends.
196
I hope someday to be at a job with people around my age to make new friends would appreciate some advice.
197
I can say I have experienced this
198
and I think anyone who has been in their early 20s
199
has also experienced this i'm not sure how long you were friends with this person
200
but especially if you were friends like when you were younger it is common
201
and also normal to outgrow certain friendships
202
and it's not necessarily like a bad thing not on either
203
of your sides sometimes we just like outgrow people as we get older
204
and we learn more about ourselves who we are like the types of relationships
205
that we want so i think just like letting go of
206
that friendship without any guilt you know it's okay to outgrow friendships with people just
207
because you were friends with someone for years doesn't mean you
208
still need to be best friends with them sometimes they're just
209
not meant to be your friend at this point in life
210
maybe they were meant to be your friend at a certain stage
211
when you were growing up but it's okay to like let them go especially
212
if you tried which i think is very respectable
213
that you really tried to put an effort
214
and clearly it wasn't being reciprocated and that's
215
when you know it's time to let it go you don't
216
deserve a one-way friendship just like relationships it deserves to be
217
50 50 exchange it's never going to be 50 50 that's
218
why i did this i think that's kind of impossible like
219
there's no way a relationship is ever going to be exactly 50 50
220
but if in general the effort is there on both sides that's the kind of relationships
221
and friendships that you want in your life
222
so i guess my first thought is i'm just proud of you for letting it go
223
and for also like communicating it you kind of have to put yourself out there more
224
and really like search for those people
225
that you just feel like are your people i think
226
that there's ways to do this outside of work i think
227
if you have a friend meeting their friends
228
if that's possible like through mutual friends
229
if you like someone i would suspect there's a good chance you'll probably like their friends too
230
or even joining a club i know there's some clubs on facebook
231
or like in your community finding something that you love
232
and meeting people there because
233
if you already have this shared similar hobby it's already like putting you off to a good start
234
and i think just like you can meet people really anywhere
235
if you put yourself out there
236
and i think post-grad that's the hard thing you kind of are forced to put yourself out there more
237
because these friendships aren't just like being handed to you like they were in school not
238
that they are in school but i just feel like it is a lot easier
239
when you're in college or high school
240
because everyone is just your age it's right next to you i think just like also being patient
241
and like realizing you don't need to have a ton of friends
242
or really any friends like it's okay to be alone your
243
young 20s i find are a pivotal time to kind of
244
like re-establish your circle i feel like you kind of like filter in
245
and out people not even like intentionally or like in a mean way
246
but you find the people that fit your life as like you're growing
247
and learning about yourself so are they but definitely
248
if you even just try to put yourself out there the worst case scenario is
249
that you did something that you were probably sort of scared to do
250
and friendships also come with time
251
when i first moved to new york a couple years ago i had zero friends i'm not even exaggerating, I had zero friends.
252
I moved here very blindly.
253
The first couple months were very discouraging.
254
Actually, the first six months to a year, I really struggled at first and I feel like there's so much pressure to like find your friends and find them quick.
255
But you also don't want to settle into friendships that you don't really value.
256
For me, I'd rather have good quality friends than a ton of distant friendships.
257
I would say kind of like relationships, like don't settle and really focus on the people that make you feel happy.
258
And I promise if you keep putting yourself out there and you don't give up, you will find your people.
259
And friendships take time, you know?
260
It's not like you just hang out with someone once and you guys are besties.
261
So you kind of have to like foster those.
262
But yeah, that's my experience.
263
I'm rooting for you.
264
I promise.
265
I've been there.
266
And I just like want to give you a hug through the screen that you can do it because I've been there.
267
And I know how hard it is.
268
Anyways, cheers.
269
Probably should have done that at the beginning.
270
I am going to shower because I feel gross after my workout.
271
And then later that night, I decided to go out for halloween.
272
Yes, I did dress as a cat the most basic thing ever I just didn't want to put in the effort.
273
You know, it was a lazy year for me I'll go harder next year, but thank you guys for watching.
274
I love you
275
so much Let me know what kind of videos you want
276

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
