    You had me laughing during your tattoo experience. My late husband always said, "You know you married a good woman when she has a good sense of humor about gas." He would follow up with, "I married a great woman." ❤ We love you & you're amazing!

    I just read a room of one’s own and found it quite good! Especially for having been published a century ago. I’m gonna be honest, I read it a little fast so I’ve forgotten the finer details, but the overarching themes were very interesting and concerningly relatable to the modern day, I hope you enjoy it too!

    I just discovered your channel and I love it so much! Your vlogs are so funny and I enjoy your book reviews! I wanted to share that I was late diagnosed autism too, and the things you say about higher education are the exact struggles I've been going through, almost word-for-word the same thoughts. More than anything, it's like you say, it just feels like it's difficult to find a place that'll give you a real chance, because it's not for lack of passion in the subject or education, just the opportunity to learn, and I hope that knowing there are others out there going through the same thing makes you feel less alone in that, as your video has done for me

    I read the book "Tazmamart" by A. Binebine, also about Moroccan military prison - it makes you want to gag. It's not for the faint-hearted, so just be careful with "Punishment".

I’ve promised myself I’d try again some day. I’m interested to see what you end up thinking of it!

    I understand wanting to go to school so badly. I was able to get my bachelors degree , I worked really hard and saved up a lot to be able to study in a different country. Then covid started and I spent more nearly two academic years at home. It feels like I dont even have a degree and there is nothing I can do about it. I dont have money to do masters rn which makes me feel even more miserable. Hopefully in the future you can find a university that isnt expensive and you have a great experience with it

    @rachheell123 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was in a kinda similar situation where I didn't finish my bachelor's cause I picked a private college and it was just too expensive for me to finish. I struggle with getting overwhelmed and anxiety in general, so it took me a long time to get back into college and finish my degree, I finally finished it last spring. I am happy I graduated cause it was a goal I had for such a long time, and I also love learning and school in general like you, but with the economy being sucky it hasn't really improved my quality of life at all. I guess this is just me saying a degree isn't everything, but I totally understand why you want one and I hope you are able to achieve your goal soon :)

  • @hylylgmn

    i don’t normally recommend self-help books but when you mentioned doing quizzes and homework with Daring Greatly it reminded me so much of Super You by Emily V Gordon! she’s a former therapist with chronic illness (her and kumail nanjiani’s relationship is the basis for the movie The Big Sick if you’ve seen it) aaaand i just love her. such a great book imo

    Hi Allison, sending you well wishes for a speedy recovery with your health. I really do feel you on loving learning but struggling to complete a degree due to health and autism related overwhelm. Have you looked at the open university? they have flexible options to pay in installments and complete 60 credit modules at a time on a part time basis. they even have free resources such as their open learn courses that scratch that learning itch. wishing you all the good and positivity for the future whichever path you take!
