Didn’t grow up in an immigrant household but when I found out that not everybody has a bag full of grocery bags in their house I was shocked. I thought it was a worldwide thing
SAME!!
I think it is, I'm from Belgium and we do this too. Maybe it's a thing wealthy households don't tend to do? Or just people who don't care about the planet/their wallet?
Same here, I'm from Germany... we save paper bags from the bakery, grocery bags, egg cartons, used marmelade glasses, even tinplate cans and stuff. Why throw them away?
Same. I’m from the USA and my family keeps a bag filled with grocery bags in the laundry room. We also keep plastic containers that come with some groceries or take out food. I guess it depends.
I have yet to see a European household who doesn’t do it, whenever I would go to my friends house they would have it too
growing up in a household where we save all of our bags in another huge bag lol
BRO SAME SJSJEJC AND THEN SAVING THE CONTAINERS FROM THE STORE 😭
Honestly, yes, everytime. And also sometimes we save the shoe boxes too and eventually use them
bahahaha this is my family lol
Ikr😆

Please don't microwave books... dry items (wool, brown paper bags, etc.) heat up FAST in microwaves and set fire pretty quickly. I've set socks on fire before from microwaving them. Not to mention, some books have metal in their ink, or plastic coated covers, which would both mess with your microwave. Stay safe!
Deadass happens with bananas stay safe
was going to say this - it can be very very dangerous!! just use sticky notes instead of highlighting, take pics and highlight on apps, or download ebooks and highlight on your computer ;-;
Someone mentioned a hair dryer so imma try that technique, but any book I can get online I prioritize first
Can I ask why did you put socks on the microwave? I'm actually very curious now
Funny thing about that friction erasable highlighter, I remember have the erasable pen also and did my project with that pen. I then laminated the sheets of work and it all disappeared. Although I learned to not put my book in the microwave, applying heat made my writing disappear :((
I was genuinely so thrown off by Jasmine throwing the book in the microwave; I thought she was just going to use a hair dryer or something lol
sameeee
that's a much better solution lol, i never thought of it tbh bc i don't own a hair dryer :"((
@@studyquill I don't own one either lol but it seems to be all the "diy hacks" go to if they ever need heat so i guess i got pavloved
I thought she'd use an iron
tip: putting a wet book in your fridge will flatten the pages unlike making the pages wavy with a hair dryer!
me, a 15 year old teen gal: takes notes
never too early :)
same girl same!
Ikrrr same!!!
I am 13. Taking notes 😅
Same but I'm 12 🤣
PSA: please do NOT put library books in the microwave, they have metal strips/stickers in them most of the time to set the beepers off if you take them out of the library without checking them out first
Why would you write in a library book anyway?
It was talking about trying to resell text books, not library books
@@wiseforcommonsense Yeah, but maybe someone needs library books for school? Or they want to take notes on a library book? Idk, it seemed legit for me.
@@wiseforcommonsense She also mentionned library books. Samantha is right, RFID chips are partly made of metal and you don't want metal in a microwave. Do what you want with your own books though :)
Please i saw this comment before watching the video and i was so confused 😭
this makes me want to be independent and live that adulting life while i am still procrastinating studying for finals lol
whyd you call me out
Me too 💗✨
love your pfp!!🖤
Same
pls dont call me out like that
8:00 wait people usually throw these bags away?? it seems dumb for me to only realise it now but my whole life we always kept plastic bags, in every house I went to had special space to store them.
I am like : that's why there's a problem with plastic bags
nobody throws bags away really.
Everyone I know keeps them
fr
I know people who buy plastic bags for trash instead of using bags from groceries... Some people are dumb. (English is my second language, sorry if I messed up my words.)
My family used to reuse those small plastic bags. Now stores don’t give out plastic bags anymore…. So we have to buy plastic bags to use for the trash can.
Imagine buying a used book then in the winter it magically hilights itself
Gonna try putting an erased paper in the fridge to see if the writing will appear again
Gonna evaporate some water from a bowl in summers and wait for it to magically reappear in winters
@@shaimaraad7996 did it?
@@ashy2074 it did come back. Seems like the chemical used in fraction pens becomes transparent when heated and regains it's color when cooled enough.
@@shaimaraad7996 hmm interesting
WAIT A DANG MINUTE- NOT EVERYONE KEEPS THE PLASTIC GROCERY BAGS IN A SPECIAL PLACE IN THEIR HOUSE? I DIDNT KNOW THIS WAS A HACK I THOUGHT EVERYONE DID IT I- IM SHOOK-
ikkkk
SAME
IKR? I genuinely thought it was such a waste if one threw them out like whattt
I think most people do we just assume no one else does lol
no, most everyone does this. you go to any country, people are using plastic bags to hold other plastic bags, it's not tied to any group of people
Her telling us about saving boxes and bags really warmed my inner Asian mom’s heart
My mother saves all of her boxes too. But she doesn’t flatten them 😭😭😭😭
@@alexisocasio6739 SAME
also drying the shower walls with a squeegee and drying the edges with a rag (takes like 1 minute, at most) helps everything look cleaner and prevents mold
Starting the fan before you get in and leave it running for 20 minutes after the shower.
awesome.
This!
I use a rag instead of a squeegee, and even one person doing it a few days a week, with 3 showering there, makes a world of difference. Way easier with a squeegee & rag, tho.
Also, yes, use ventilation when applicable, like the fan.
sooo true saves my life
using a mesh bag for laundry is a GAME CHANGER!!! Ive stopped losing socks LOL
I remember when I was in college I was gifting so many people erasable highlighters cuz no one knew they exist
I'm rn in college and I nearly gifted all my friends erasable highlighters cuz they be living under a rock
I didn't know they existed and I've been out of college a while. RIP
The erasable WHAT
Me, a 31 years old person: ah yes, adulting tips.
Me, turning 35 in a few months: these are categorised as “things I’ve done for decades because I’m old” and “things I won’t ever need to do because I’m old”
Same boat, almost 26 and still here watching adulting tips 😂
Ha! I was 41 yesterday, and I admit I did learn from that tip about houseplants which, in four decades, I've never really gotten the hang of. Whether this is adulting or just having the opposite of green thumbs is open to interpretation. And the face (mask) unlock is brand new
@@aspen1713 me 14 watching this Ah yes adulting 🕺🏻
@@MissPickles1980 happy birthday👍👍
Not me microwaving my books now 👀
tip: putting a wet book in your fridge will flatten the pages unlike making the pages wavy with a hair dryer!
@@BronzeCheng but the tip isn't for wet books
It worked?
@@lambgaming1347 still pretty useful tho
@@bjawrk2926 yeah but this tip isnt for wet books
I'm a freshman in highschool watching this, but I guess it's never to early to learn how to manage your life.

class of ‘24 unite lol
@@amaliaowl wooo✌
same lol
Y’all makin me feel old... I’m ‘22 😂 One more year! I hope y’all enjoy the rest of you Highschool careers 🤍
same!
Folding the marie kondo way has literally changed my life (the book was right!), i started doing it about 2 and a half years ago and i will never even go back, so I really recommend it to everyone
Can we appreciate the evolution of Jasmine's personal style? Her outfits are super cute and her hair is popping
Something to help with terrible dryers: add a small clean dry towel with the rest of your wet laundry, it’ll help absorb some excess moisture
Quick tip for if you need boxes for moving day: Malls usually have a big room, accessible from outside, where all the stores dump their recyclables (it may be further divided into cardboard, styrofoam, plastic, etc). Individual stores also may have an enclosed dumpster for their recycling. You can go and, depending on the mall/store, either help yourself, or ask, and they'll let you go and grab whatever boxes you need from them.
Grocery stores and liquor stores used to give you boxes for free if you wanted them, but these days if they have them at all they seem to want to make you pay. Also, the boxes are more likely to be damp and/or sticky.
Just be polite, and don't leave it messier than you found it. And if you're looking for small boxes (for particularly delicate items, or gifts, etc), dollar stores are the place to hit up; they get stuff shipped in the widest variety of sizes I've seen.
For the first one, writing in books, they also make see through sticky notes which are handy in case you only have a regular pen.
the way jasmine is younger than me yet has a better grasp of adulting than i ever could asdksajd
Another tip for laundry everyone! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS TAKE THE TIME TO CLEAN THE WASHER AND DRYER BEFORE YOU USE THEM!!! Especially if you’re someone like me who has sensitive skin, the molds and other detergents built up in the rings and in the barrels of the washers especially can make your clothes not only smell but make you itch! So just take a bunch of paper towels and sanitizing wipes (and gloves too if you’re grossed out easily) and clean it out! It just takes maybe 5 minutes if it’s an especially gross one but it makes all the difference!!!
Watching Jasmine instead of sleeping at 1.30 am. Priorities
have a good rest of your night :)
People growing up without doing chores always baffled me. I've been doing housework (vacuuming, laundry, dishes, etc etc) since I was a child. Basically became Dorm-room mum because I was the only one who knew how to turn the oven on. It was wild.
girl we’re in the same grade but your life seems so put together! 😭
Also, put your key/face mask/ whatever you tend to forget when going outside into or onto your shoes. You'll remember the key once you trampled on it 😅
the editing in this video was on point **chef's kiss**
These videos are so cute because growing up as the older sibling you have to find out these things for yourself there’s no one to help. This is like watching a big sister to guide you. I love it
Can’t wait to use this in a couple years ✌️😭
Thank you for being the older sister I never had. Your videos are all so inspirational and help me in ways you couldn't imagine, love from France
If your drawers are shallow and can´t store the clothes like in the video, you can roll them and put them side by side, so that everything's in one level.
hanging jewelry up is such a cute idea!!btw, where did you get your laptop stand? :'0
i got it from an etsy shop called Paracel :)
About the reopening of closed tabs, you can also just press the right button of the mouse on the "+" for new tabs. It should be an option of "reopen the last closed tab" or something like that. I didn't know about the shortcut before
I normally don't comment on videos, but the plastic bag hack is great! Growing up my family used to keep plastic bags and we would use them for storing shoes for trips, and using it as a bag for dirty laundry. You can also use paper bags as trash bags, but make sure there's no liquid or it will leak.
"I'm gonna show you some actually useful hacks"
*puts book in the microwave oven*
Jokes aside, using an hairdryer on the pages works as well
Not even two minutes in and you've just saved me a lot of time and frustration citing stuff for my upcoming research paper. Thank you so much!
Don't leave a shower curtain open long term tho - let the shower air out, but remember to go back and close the curtain or the liner will get hella mildewy and slimy.
also, the mesh bag is a lingerie bag - make sure you have one for your bras too. they will thank you. and don't ever put bras thru the dryer.
if you have issues with dying elastics, hang dry your items with elastics - the heat from the dryer causes elastic to dry out much, much, much faster.
marie kondo folding is a literal life changer.
ps: love the hair color!
You’re glowing in this video!! Love the makeup, the bow headband is suuuper cute, the purple hair is really working out for you, and your eyes are sparkling!!!
perfect timing just turned 18 I'm going to college and I'm freaking out
You just keep getting better and more confident in every video and I am HERE for it
Really appreciate your reasonable fast tempo and on the point info! Thanks for not blabla-ing around! Enjoyed it very much :)
You make my life so much easier! I have been watching you for a few months now and I dont regret it😉 Thank you!!!!!!
i love your vids! they’re always so helpful, informative, and aesthetically pleasing + therapeutic for me to watch ! oh, and ofc, motivating, so thank you so much for what you do !! i’m so glad i found your channel the other day ㅠㅠ btw, your editing and all’s amazing 🌷✨
the best thing that happened to my day 🥺❤️❤️ dang jasmine ur slaying with the vids
thank you for watching!!
I literally love these videos I’m only a sophomore in highschool but the college pressure is happening already so these are relaxing for me :)
I am so so so sooooooo grateful that you made this video. I am doing my end of year project and literally everything has to be cited. Citation Machine etc. is such a hassle and being able to use google docs is so INCREDIBLY helpful.
My tip would be to make a spread in a bullet jornal or write everything ahead in a calendar regarding due dates. Of course you can write one thing on a mirror, but in reality there are a lot more of constant tasks. I have one list for writing down how much water etc. did I use, because I need to send it to my landlord. Then there is a table like "did I do ... this month" and I colour boxes for paying rent, changing sheets, reading at least one book (I"m trying to come back from a huge slump) or having a reset day
There's this extension I like to use to remind me to take a sip of water. It's called Water Reminder. It's super helpful and I've been a lot healthier since I started using it. It's also customizable and it's generally a great way to remind yourself to stay hydrated while in online school.
The Face ID one is something I’m going to set up now. Thank you
Great tips! Alsooo, your hair looks hella cute! Love the cut and colour
Moving tips! Especially if you live in the US for the first one
Tip 1: **technically** you shouldn't do this, but no one is ever gonna be able to police you on it... Anyway! You can order boxes from the United States Postal service for FREE. They come in bundles of like 10 or 25 I think? And if I recall I think shipping is free as well.
Tip 2: If you know you're going to be moving soon, start packing clothes as you fold your clean laundry! Just put the stuff you wanna bring right in the box instead of in the drawer. It saves you a step in moving your belongings a second time, and helps you pace out your packing to keep it from being last minute
The pin tip for necklaces is so helpful 😍😍💜💜
thank you for sharing these, usually it's repeated hacks but these were truly unique and very helpful 💓😫
This eased my anxiety about adulting-thank you!!
I haven't been in my apartment in a while since I'm helping at home thanks to online schooling. I just glanced around my old room and snorted really loudly, I really need this video.
If you have a Mac and an iPad you can use your iPad as a second screen using sidecar! I loving having a dual monitor setup for multitasking everywhere I go now!
Didn’t expect this video but I love it!!! 💕
haha thank you!
I loved the intro to this! Adorable! This whole video was so cute and helpful, thank you. Xoxo
Your thumbnails have been so gorgeous lately!!
Wowow the editing😍💖
YES KEEPING THE BAGS, SO RELATABLE
Your eyeliner and bow look absolutely stunning!
i was just wondering if you’re this all put together kind of person all the time. i admire you, thank you for the advices!
definitely not -- i'm normally decently organized but not perfect
Holy... The last one was so useful. Thank you! Although I'm already a college graduate and I'm currently pursuing a JD, most of these tips are really useful (for me, at least). Haha.
this video made my day
I really loved these tips! Also you look super pretty!
LOVING HOW THE HAIR TURNED OUT AHHH
i needed this ❤ big thanks!
Loved the jewelry on pins tip!
tip for laundry: make sure to use a net for all of your clothing! ESPECIALLY clothes you wear out and delicate pieces, if you want them to look better and fit better for as long as possible. the nets are basically there to prevent the clothes from being overstretched and violently thrown around. i had a net that I used for a long time and it actually started to break down and the fibers started coming loose, which is probably from all the traumatic trips to the washing machine 😭
if you have paper recycling, keeping a paper bag in your office (or what ever location you most commonly make paper waste) means you are much more likely to recycle. i have a big strong paper bag a pair of boot came in that fit in a narrow gap in my room.
your editing is the besttt
Some of the tips I already figured out on my own, and some tips are new and superhelpful.
For tax help, you can also sometimes contact your school's student life office. Some schools offer free tax help through the VITA (the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program or can usually direct you to where you can sign up for an appointment in your community.
Super excited to watch! Your outfit is so cute btw :)
aw thank you!
For the plastic grocery bags, you can make them use even less space by folding them into small triangles. You can probably find tutorials online but basically fold the sides in until you have a rectangle that is about three inches wide (so long as it's neat it doesn't really matter. Bigger bags will be bigger and tiny bags will be smaller). Then fold one of the bottom corners up so you form a small right angled triangle at the bottom. Then fold that up so the bottom is straight. Keep going until the end, then fold the last bit in a triangle down to the opposite direction and fold that inside a little tuck. It will form a small triangle that will not come apart easily in a larger bag or drawer, but can unfold with very little effort, and takes up next to no space.
why didn't I find your channel earlier, this is amazing, tyty! ♡
nevermind the tips (as helpful as they are), THE EDITING IS AMAZING😍😍 the “help” search engine was so cute!!!
I love your vibe 🍓
Thank you for giving actually useful hacks that I might just use 👑 QUEEN
where did you get that BEAUTIFUL keyboard, I am OBSESSED
Thank you for these hacks! We love a book smart AND street smart queen💛
5:20 rolling them also works great :)) (learned that from marine kondo hehe)
thank you so much for this. i just moved out of home and i needed this asap
Being military, the WORSE thing about laundry was when you went to go put yours in before final formation and when you go to get your nice, warm, dry clothes out of the dryer you find out someone had taken your stuff out and put theirs in.
I hope I’ll be able to use these tips eventually, I’m graduating from high school next week but because of corona I’ll probably stay at home during my uni year...
perfect timing for this video, just turned 18 today :)
Thank you ☺️ Jazzy for changing my life bit by bit whenever you upload a video !!! 😘😘🤩😍🥺
My family is fancy, we do not have a drawer full of grocery bags, my grandma made a cute lil disppenser bag thingy and folds the grocery bags in triangles so we always have a little triangle ready to go :)
My top tip for bibliographies is learn to use a program like zotero (my choice) or endnote it's life changing (tip from a graduate)
You're brilliant! This is the first actually useful hacks' video I've ever seen
WAIT the half-masked face for face ID actually worked and I can't believe it!! It took a little bit of convincing for it to let me scan my face like that, but in the end it let me! Thank you so much!
your channel >>> ... you're already p successful in my eyes but ur definitely going places 🌟
Nice video. Your idea about noting dates for toothbrushes on the bathroom mirror is very clever!
as a sophomore at UCB, I would absolutely love more school/study related videos!
That shirt storage hack she showed surprised me because growing up my mom always made me do that! (Love ur videos by the way)
Love your outfit!!♥️
microwaving books, now *that's* tempting 👀
