hey Jack! I've been following you for a while from Spain and I really admire the love you put into your projects. I have a suggestion for ink outside the box: a pencil case?🤔
I feel like Oxford rejecting Jack was like a *blessing in disguise*. Like this is so not the year to do a masters- it would probably all be online and the experience would just be so... different. Hopefully by the time Jack goes things will have settled down and he’ll have the best experience possible!
Thing is there is no guarantee next year things will be "back to normal". Also its not a good year for a gap year either because you can't travel, get jobs and lots of internships are cancelled or completely online. It affects everyone
@@mixthepasta Thanks for that please be aware people are struggling with mental health and predictions like this don't help. It's not a good time for anyone.
My mum's just been accepted onto an english lit master's program (despite doing her degree in french lang and german lit) at a top uni and she's 48!! It's never too late to pursue your dreams :)
That's so cool! Just recently, I read a story about a man from Italy who survived WW2 and covid-19 and just got his diploma at the age of 96 (he graduated philosophy and history at the Uni of Palermo, IT) and it's just amazing, like Jack said in the video, there's always time to try new things and it's never late to work on one's education ... that being said, I wish your mum all the best, hope she has a good time! :)
Wow that's fab - congratulations to your mum! (As someone who feels kinda overwhelmed with decisions/making the wrong decisions atm haha this sort of reminder was much appreciated)
Really appreciate your openness about rejection from jobs, masters etc and just the whole idea that you don't have to do everything in some particular time frame. I graduated from Durham (did English too lol) a few years ago and post uni life is chaotic and weird and full of so much unnecessary pressure to do everything in your 20s. I also applied for a masters and got rejected and honestly I'm so glad I did as it would have been the completely wrong timing and taking some time out of the education hamster wheel was one of the best decisions. Wishing you all the best!
Jack is one of the best TH-camrs in his age group because of the way he shoots, his video effects and even his content. I genuinely can't think of more than 5 other TH-camrs who are as open as him on social media. Jack ftw!
It's so great that you're passionate about your subject... I also finished uni this year and my issue is that I'm not really passionate about anything :/ I feel like it isn't talked about a lot but I'm sure many people actually struggle with trying to feel enthusiasm for literally anything, especially with the way the world is right now
it was a really small bit in this vid but seeing you mention decolonising your reading really made me happy! it's great to see people being aware of it, and if you ever do come to india there's a ton of literature fests here that you'd love!
dude I hear ya: love to learn. I went back to uni last year to do my master's 13 years after my PGCE! started applying for jobs in jan/feb....then covid... applied to so many jobs and almost gave up but last week I had an interview and got my dream job!! :) I am grateful for the time to slow down and change and now I have finally got what I've been striving for....... never too late, don't give up and enjoy the change!!!
I appreciate how hard you work! Things don’t just come to you in life! Yes it’s often not what you know but who you know but we all definitely have to put in work and grind 💪🏼 with time off in lockdown I have time to think about my future and what my goals are! No one else is going to make these goals happen, only myself!
In India, I'll just tell you what to expect because I live here lmao. Its definitely a beautiful country and you'll meet nice people and all that but if you ever seek any kind of political content of any sort you'll be fed a right-winged one-sided narrative. People are very right-winged here. Taxi drivers will scam you if you don't know the fares, auto drivers too. Use uber and ola, that's your best bet. Don't leave your belongings unattended. carry cash or have gpay, paytm, amazon pay. paypal doesn't work, it works only for online orders on websites but not in the streets.
I feel like there are so many of you guys (mainly from studytubes channel) that are moving to London, closer to friends, fun, and opportunities and honestly, it's awesome (if not wholesome) to say the least.
I love your channel and your positive outlook! I'm starting my PhD this year, and the way you're thinking through things post-uni is so much like what I felt at that stage. Life post-uni is free and amazing, I took two years out to work in a field I loved before going back for the MA, and no regrets. Live your life and love it!!
Hey Jack, I'm your little fan from India. Since you mentioned that you want to visit India, I really really recommend you to come to Lucknow. It's an incredible city, full of culture and also absolutely insane cuisine. So yeah, I would recommend you to give it a try. And whenever you come, please do give an update in prior. I also live here, and would love to meet you!!❤❤
It’s so lovely to see you so happy :) I’ve also finished my English Lit degree and, though I am doing an MA, had no plans after that which did worry me a lot. Lockdown has encouraged me to realise, as you said, that not everything had to be rushed - early 20s are for learning! This slowing down has also been beneficial to my career crisis as it has made me reassess my priorities and realise that I would love to have a gap year of sorts after my masters then train to be an English teacher. Your positive outlook is so freeing and definitely helps me feel a lot less nervous haha :)
I love this! I’m 21 and have just got into uni to start a 4 year physics degree. I’ll be hella old especially if I want to do a masters and a phd but it’s never too late!!
@@josh440 recently a lot of beauty youtubers like james charles, tati westbrook, jeffree star and shane dawson were "cancelled", but its also a pun that events were cancelled because of covid, hope it helps 😼
I really appreciate that you shared with us the process of rejection from Oxford. So helpful because it is something that happens to very one at some point in life, so thank you!!!
" in love with life" aww Jack! I'm striving to reach this mindset! I'm so happy for you :) it's always so fulfilling to see people being happy and grateful about their life
Please never stop TH-cam it doesn’t make the content u make ur just so funny and sweet and even vlogs of u having meetings I love watching I just love ur personality x
I love this jack who's affectionate with his subjects, loves doing whatever comes to his mind and at the same time Exploring the world and himself. Lots of love and hugs ❤️✊
It's actually so nice to see you thriving and happy Jack; I had a similar realisation about rushing to the next milestone during my gap year but honestly if something's for you then it's for you! Looking forward to what you do next 😊 (also flat tour pls!!🎉)
Honestly it means a lot you being so open about not getting into masters and also that you don't feel like you need to rush things. I'm 19 and in my third year of uni and I extended my degree by 6 months by taking less courses each semester just because I felt like I wasn't ready to move on from undergrad and that I still had so much more to accomplish. I'm always stressed about not getting into honours/masters and I try to reassure myself that it's ok if I don't and you saying all of that made me feel a lot better!
To all the people who just graduated, keep your head up! I graduated in 2014 and I think I sent out 100 résumés to no avail. Now I'm in a different field entirely, that I love. I know the Rona is kicking our collective asses, so be open to changing your plans and roll with it like Jack has said ❤️
I honestly think you’re so valid in only applying to one masters course! I did the same & now I’m doing a PhD, masters’ are so specialised and specific (as I’m sure you know) and with only having a year’s worth of modules that count, if you’re just doing a random course for the sake of it as a second choice it’s just a lot of work and commitment for little enjoyment! You do you & good luck in continuing ur academia journey!!
Didn't realise how much I needed this video. Thank you for being so open about rejection/ stresses atm. Just finished my 3rd year (of 4) and my average took a serious hit. So stressed by final year (esp w no library etc) and the future/ masters applications. As someone who spends so long on linkedin feeling super inadequate because plans aren't working out as expected it was good to hear some realness and positivity! TY
So, as someone who is about to start Uni (at durham too) and had no idea what they want to do after, I just want to say how great and comforting your videos are. I get worried about it quite a lot, but your videos always make me calm down, and think "it'll be fine." Anyway thanks!
I started to like the video since you came with the speech of why it is important not to get stressed when you do not get what you wanted because life is like that but when you appeared when "I do not want to be recognize as Jack who has certain number of followers" damn I loved it bro.
Although my circumstances are completely different to yours, I find a lot of similarities too. I’m a TEFL teacher and I’ve been lucky enough to work and travel abroad already, and it’s something I want to continue- but thanks to our good friend Rona that all got cancelled for the rest of the year and now I’ve had to find peace with slowing down and doing other things!
Jack is 21 and has a degree. I'm 23 this month and still do not have my degree yet. I haven't even started what will be 6 years. I totally agree with you Jack about being in no rush, cos you don't have to be! ❣️ But at the same time I feel so SO behind Amazing video as always, much love x
I'm so pleased to know that you're interested in South Asian fiction! :) I'm an English Studies student myself, and Indian Writing in English was one of my favourite modules. I've consciously begun decolonising my reading too (which is kind of ironic because I'm Indian to begin with), but it has changed me so profoundly. Would love to host you in India (Hyderabad/Chennai) whenever you're here, and perhaps discuss Kamala Das, Arundhati Roy, Desai, Lahiri, Mistry and all the others!
Hi Jack, i totally understand you, I had so many plans for 2020, moving to a different country, having a 3 month europe trip and everything is stopped due to covid but as you say, we have time in the future, right now im mostly thankful that are my family and friends are healthy, wishing you the best
I agree with that sentence. Difficult for graduates. Even ones that are able to get essential jobs. Like my girlfriend. She graduated in nursing and they r so understaffed that she got a job at a hospital and it's mad. Working covid floor and running around. And having 7 patients each starting out when she is through with training step. Thank u for the vid. Love your voice and good vibes. Makes me happy. U do well, u.
wait, had to pause the video after only 4 minutes to comment. Wow, I was looking for a British TH-camr to practice my listening, found your channel and this is the first video that I am watching and I am really enjoying it. You have such a great mindset. You already have a new subscriber. Congrats bro!
thanks for sharing your story jack! i found your page because i've been rejected from my masters program, and i've been having a super hard time finding a job. so thank you for your assurance!
I. Fucking. Love. You. this is the most wholesome video I’ve seen and what I think we all needed rn , I think we all just need to take a break and look around to be great full for what we all have , our lives are beautiful
Where have you been all my life?! How am I only watching your video for the first time? I have never related this much to any one on TH-cam. I love how real you are, thank you for being so honest about rejections and normalising then
I absolutely love that you want to share your projects with us. I also get so annoyed by all the “secret projects” and I actually get so much more hyped up if I get to witness the journey of making it
Wow, this has inspired me A LOT ... Thank you soo much, Jack, I love those videos where you're just talking and being so positive, kind, inspiring, and much more. So thank you! Lots of love from Germany 🇩🇪
After my military service, I had one gap year. Guess whay it was one of the best years I have ever had in my life. Now I am a happy graduate student studying what I love in the school I really wanted! Hope your gap year is going be as great as mine was :)
Hey Jack , I am from India. I think it would be better to come here during winter. One place you should definitely visit is Mussoorie,where Ruskin Bond lives.
I'm currently in my fourth year in Media and Communications. I applied to my current university two times and got in the third time. My third time was truly a charm but seriously having spent 2 years at a college helped me with personal and educational growth. Plus I have a two-year diploma in my back pocket. I think if this is something you really want then you're gonna need to be put in the work and go above and beyond, For instance, you could take the year writing articles for Medium, supervise with professors at Durham or reaching out to current/past students at Oxford on their experience via LinkedIn. I currently work with a professor in my faculty and its such an outstanding opportunity that many don't take advantage of especially as an undergrad! Hope this helps in any way.
I took a gap year after my graduation and it honestly changed my perspective on life,people places and about myself.Now, i'm pursuing my Masters in English literature in India.You sure are gonna have a great future ahead,good luck man :)

"Instead of being half glas empty or half glas full, I'm just grateful to have the glas!" killed it, Jack!
Wow, this has inspired me A LOT ... Thank you soo much, Jack, I love those videos where you're just talking and being so positive, kind, inspiring, and much more. So thank you! Lots of love from Germany 🇩🇪
can you share the books you read for your "post-colonial east Asian lit" please?
“That little pandemic” my thoughts exactly jack
ahhh so proud of you and all of your achievements, glad you've found a geographical & mental refuge in the midst of all this uncertainty
Ok but it took this video for me to realise that the beauty community on TH-cam has kind of been cancelled. Where did it go? How did I miss that?
Its not even drama anymore its straight up criminal cases/accusations
Yeah I'm also confused. What happened
Can we just appreciate how much he's grown and how ambitious yet mature he is?
After my military service, I had one gap year. Guess whay it was one of the best years I have ever had in my life. Now I am a happy graduate student studying what I love in the school I really wanted! Hope your gap year is going be as great as mine was :)
such a wholesome video, we're rooting for you, Jack
Happy Jack is the content we're here for
I can totally imagine you opening a cute bookstore in the future
Omg that’d be adorable. 🥺💕
Hey Jack , I am from India. I think it would be better to come here during winter. One place you should definitely visit is Mussoorie,where Ruskin Bond lives.
Jack you’re an inspiration, it’s honestly fantastic and rather refreshing to see :)
Thanks for reassuring me that it’s okay for life to be full of uncertainties because I am not doing this alone :)
This is so refreshing to hear about reapplying and redirecting when it comes to uni! x
You're an incredible guy. You inspire us and motivate us a lot. Good luck with all your projects.
I'm currently in my fourth year in Media and Communications. I applied to my current university two times and got in the third time. My third time was truly a charm but seriously having spent 2 years at a college helped me with personal and educational growth. Plus I have a two-year diploma in my back pocket. I think if this is something you really want then you're gonna need to be put in the work and go above and beyond, For instance, you could take the year writing articles for Medium, supervise with professors at Durham or reaching out to current/past students at Oxford on their experience via LinkedIn. I currently work with a professor in my faculty and its such an outstanding opportunity that many don't take advantage of especially as an undergrad! Hope this helps in any way.
“instead of being half glass empty or half glass full, I’m just grateful to have the glass” had to comment this because WOW, I love this phrase. ☻
OMG, I literally love you and your videos. Your positivity and determination is so admirable. I can’t wait for more videos and life updates!
you literally make my day. Your energy and personality just cheers me up !
I’m 33 and I plan to study again after 11 years. It’s never too late to learn.
Totally agree!
You seem so genuinely happy/content in this video and excited about life! It’s great to see :)
