วีดีโอ

hello, I love your videos!! Did you rent outside? If yes can you send me the information because I will be an exchange student as well. Thank you

Very inspiring video! Thank you for this! I see that you haven't been uploading lately. Hopefully everything is going well wherever you are now:)

Intentional

Hii what camera do you use ??

After watching three videos of you I can assert that it would be super cool to be a friend of yours I wish you all the best

Heyo. Sorry to bother you but; do they teach in english aswell? If not, are there any english speaking universities there? Thanks for your time

Are you still in Japan?

I recommened the book "offline"

Beautiful

I studied Japanese, but I forgot it now. I would love to restart studying it again...

Hey. Thanks so much for the video. I’ve been stuck in a really bad depression for over 2 years now.... I guess I don’t really need to get into it other than that. But yesterday I was thinking “what is the opposite of depression?” I never really thought of it before. Most people’s base line answer would say it’s to be happy..... but that’s the opposite of sad, not depression. Anyway I think you are absolutely correct. The opposite of depression is totally to have intention. Thanks a lot! I will try and apply this to my life.

ありがとう。これはたくさん助けていました。

My boyfriend

This was a good anime.

食 was one of the first kanji I learnt just because Yuta (online teacher) used it all the time in the first videos where the sentences were mostly about eating or not eating something. So it's super easy to me now, ありがとう、先生! :) I've heard it's better study kanji not writing the same kanji more than three times in a row, because then the brain will switch to 'auto' mode and you're not learning anything. Instead if you do study like five different kanji at the same time you'd better make it an irregular pattern like: abcde... aacebddaeebbebaebd or something like that. I also hear this talk about learning radicals first, so I'm wondering if that will be effective. (At least I use radicals in jisho, even though I've never intensively studied them, but learning more kanji they begin to clear out, though I wonder if I should give them a proper studying time...) What you say about connecting the kanji to your personal life is true. I have Fire Emblem Heroes I started playing in Japanese, also some manga and I like to jot down funny anime phrases as well. Anime's such a great source for memorising/learning words! :D Recently, I've also began to place some kanji around the house, like colours. It's so much more fun and effective when you treat it less like a burden on your shoulders. Motivation is definitely the key! Hope I remembered that more often though. ^^

I think i have seen you on facebook on the japanese english exchange or maybe it was gaijin pot anyways. I like what you are saying here everyone is different though I found out alot of about my self. The quiet alone time does provide a good platform for much needed introspective thought for some as many people have alot going on in life they keep themselves so busy and have so much going on with life and responsibilities ect.. So when they step back from all of that they really can find a good bit about their own being.

Hi I'm a student of Meiji university too! Good luck with your study !

arigatou

thank you for your advice.

Next year I will be going to Japan for my year abroad. Meiji Gakuin is on my list of unis to go to because it is so close to Tokyo. The problem is that I think it's too close to Tokyo. I like being in a place where stars can be seen (so unlike London) and high pollution hurts my nose. Can you tell me things about Meiji? What are the dorms like? I know there is a dorm that only house foreign students, but is there one that includes Japanese students as well (I would prefer to live with Japanese students). Can you tell me about the classes and perhaps the price of things. I believe if I were to live so close to Tokyo it would be extremely expensive, compared to another uni such as Obirin. If you could write back that would be great.

Awww girl, so sorry that this happened. It's awesome that you're sharing an experience like this. It makes you genuine. Many people focus on sharing their happiness and success online but in reality, sometimes bad experiences happen as well. But you're a strong human 💪. I love what you're sharing on TH-cam and Instagram.

i have that issue as well. i prefer to call it self indulgence.

I feel like this is something that I needed to hear today so thank you for posting this video. I too have this "ideal version" of myself and it's inevitable when I don't live up to it, so rather than focus on the things I can change, bit by bit, I feel overwhelmed and disappointed by expectations that I know will not be met. I wish you the very best with your own journey! It's certainly something that's a work in progress.

WOW. PEOPLE CAN BE CRUEL. I BECAME A VICTIM OF OTHERS BECAUSE OF MY ACCENT A LONG TIME AGO. THAT WAS IN 2009. WHEN I THINK OF IT, NO REAL GOOD MEMORIES COME OUT OF IT.

I was thinking about using workaway someday, it is good to see that you lliked it. You look so happy and relaxed in this video. I hope this helps you keep motivated through your journey studying in japan! 頑張ってね！

WOW... Love this video please keep going on. - Davyd

Beautiful countryside <3

Oh yeah.... Damn I remember how harsh everyone was at you in that video out of nowhere.... Ffff damn it's been so many years I can barely remember the video and I can't found it but I remembered thinking it was some kind of real thing before the movie actually came out

There were also quite a few comments saying that it was a moving piece of fanfiction etc.☺️ Tbh, I thought you seemed nervous but also real. Like you were actually there and trying to comfort someone in such a horrible situation which is always uncomfortable and awkward and sad and difficult. I think the best part is when you tell Augustus a story. It was lovely. Truly!

Great video! I wanted to say I heard something great about feelings too, "feelings are not facts". You're so right about the makeup! I wear it maybe a few times a week and I am comfortable with my face and so I don't care when I don't wear makeup (im not looking at me haha) but then when I have a day where I feel like I want to wear makeup and I put it on I feel like I don't even look right. But I love makeup and I'm just not sure. I love it when I see people without makeup, like you! To me that shows you are comfortable in your own skin and that is a rarity these days. And that sucks about your PE experience, I loved PE, it was my favorite place to be haha. I loved running (track and xcountry runner here) and so probably explains my love for exercising today. Im not always motivated but I have learned to just go do it because I feel better after. I'm sorry I'm taking your whole page. Oh and yes I also have made several decisions based on what I would think others would think of me unfortunately. Mostly disappointing my parents so I didn't do a lot of things I wish I had. Anyways, great video, I love it. Keep up the great work. Im working on posting my own video actually but about being present and another about my IBS and digestion tips. Much love to ya! Bye!!!

such interesting and important mindset shifts. Changing how you think of yourself is difficult but you will never find inner happiness if you don't. Thanks for the reminders.

I love the way you edit your videos :) do you use final cut pro?

Actually I am just waiting for the video with the kanji and can not wait for it to see! How they manage going outside when it's hot and not wearing only blouses with straps, they must be really used to it 😲 I love your work Keep going 😘

i'm in love with you <3

Jolvie do you know of the manga "Yotsubato!"? I highly recommend it, it has helped me a lot with learning new kanji. If you don't know of it yet, I recommend you search for Japanese Ammo's vid about it. You'll find all the kanji have furigana. Even though at first you do get tempted to read the furigana, eventually you start focusing on the kanjis and you start identifying them and knowing their reading. I'm saying all this bc when I've been to Japan I found them at a secondhand shop for like ¥300 each, which is so very cheap. I decided then to only buy two volumes bc I didn't think I would actually be able to read them anytime soon (my japanese was very very rusty at the time), but this year eventually I managed to finish them both AND understand AND enjoy the narrative! But now they're just way too expensive for me to buy them from here, even online )': like 4 to 5 times more expensive. And that is something I regret not hoarding for while still in Japan haha anyways, good luck from now on!

Amazing video!

Great video jolvie, great tips, keep them coming!

Do you plan to attend another semester?

Sound advice! It is amazing what just sticks sometimes. I've stayed near the Shinagawa station so 品川 is firmly planted in my brain.

aaa I read that book by marie kondo and it made wonders in my life too! hahaha that first step of going through each and every piece of clothing and asking yourself "does this really make me happy" is crazyyy but so amazing! Lol anyways, I also loved that you said you put your keyboard on the desk because you prioritise your music playing! I should find myself a keyboard too. Good luck Kimmy!

aaaaaa the piano i'm dyingggg

Wherever we go, we are def. the same people with the same issues. I am loving your videos.

This is a good one, thank you so much. You are really making me see these abilities to go after help for myself.

Honestly, it was a blessing to have watched this one video here, for real!!!

Wow Kim! Stages we all go through, I feel I am having these alternations... a lot of good days, then two to three days feeling horrible, I believe my own organizations of things have allowed me to be feeling weird. But you are right, I lack in physical exercises, maybe this is it, it is this that is making me miserable a few days.

You are an intelligent woman, being so young! Traveling is such a blessing, and I also need to exercise and drink more water. I never focus on negative, I can brag about extra strength when it comes to resilience that helps me up so fast.
