Haha the glasses situation is not eye-deal
This. This I like.
Wow. Ur going places. Not the spelling bee, but places
@@ander3689 hhahahahahaah
Love ittt
I LIVE for those puns XD
"It's idiot proof."
Fire alarm starts going off
Omg. 😭✋🏻
how come u guys didnt have a range hood to absorb all the smoke....... how do ppl live like this
" People my age have children, and like"
" I am cHiLdReN"
- Jack Ben Edwards 2020
me, aged 32
im pretty sure ive seen a post saying that from like 3 years ago :x
Omg his second name is Ben? 👁👄👁
@@yinhannasjournal Benjamin I think.
Jack's name is LITERALLY Jedward. The power he holds.
how have I never realised this
I did not understand this
amelia foster WATERLIIIINE
Whatever happened to them🤔
Jack applying for security guard is me applying for being a nanny while I am a graduate from STEM courses and spend all my life not comfortable with children.
i have a Christmas card on my fridge from my best friend that says "2020's our year!!" and every time I look at it, I think that's nice.
Oh no... honestly though we should have known that 2020 was too good to be true
I was so ready to comment my condolences and prayers and then he comes out with his squashed glasses and I just lost it xD
Legit me.
Same here!!!
😂😂
555th like 😋
"I am children"
No truer words have been said
Why did I get really scared that someone actually passed away lol I should’ve known it was jacks glasses🤓 your acting is too good😅
Yeah I was so shocked too omg😂
You got scared because there’s a global pandemic going on and a death in the family is becoming common place... this joke is in bad taste
@@aidenl5215 true though
I thought it was a plant ahaha
Ikr. 🥺
Jack: "Burgers are the easiest things ever. Literally idiot-proof"
Jack 5mins later: *Fire alarm beeping* "It... it's brown for Halloween"
"Being an adult is being on hold" exactly, Jack. As a certified adult at 26 years of age, I cannot stress enough that everything takes ages and I'm constantly overwhelmed, you nailed it✌
I have been put on hold for an hour and a half only for them to tell me that they closed early for the day without any notice...
miss-read the title as 'i'm struggling to be an adult and straight' and thought this video was going to take a very different turn
I'm typing
11:08 i would pay money for knowing what it felt like to be that stranger, just looking in a window and accidentally get eye contact with a guy wearing a chief’s hat and holding a plate of a burger in front of a camera. oh, i’m thinking of you, lovely stranger
Honestly jack, I feel ya. Graduated my masters this year and I'm still at home just trying to freaking job search. I was hoping to gain work experience once I graduated by doing a few weeks unpaid in different companies but obvs that went out the window. So now I'm having to job search with no experience, during a pandemic . Fun times. But yeah my friends are already working and putting down deposits for houses with partners and I'm just like 🙃🙃🙃🤡
literally same!
I also just finished my masters and I’m also job searching like there’s no tomorrow 😫😫
I am literally in the exact same situation lol it's been rough
i also just finished my undergrad and im so scared i wont be able to find a grad job starting next year :( i want to move out so much because my family life isnt 100% great (but i can still survive here)
@@lururu i'm in the same boat. we hopefully will find something at some point though!! xx
Does anyone else just feel blessed with Jack’s lil bubble of protection when he includes “Not with COVID-19” in his title sequence?😅❤️
I love it tooooo, sadly my dad was tested with covid tonight though sooooooooo
@@manonrochard7009 Oh no, sending you all my healing vibes and hope he recovers well x
I love how you share about your rejections as I am going through something like that myself. Everytime, something doesn't work out, I feel as if a whole lot of my time got wasted. But then, I remind myself that isn't true. Being rejected is better than not applying at all. All we need is just one acceptance. Kudos to progress. 👍👍
your content is so wholesome, it literally feels like I'm watching a friend - I love it!
Totally agree! 🥺
"I am children!" -Jack 2020
Same though. 😭
'I am children' - Jack Edwards 😂 same though..
Same. 😭😭😭
I’m a durham fresher and u might as well be in Durham bc ur live in all our minds ✨rent free✨
That’s so cute. 🥺
I really appreciate you talking about your journey with job applications - I graduated this year too and am applying for jobs but haven't got anywhere yet so you really made me feel a bit better about things :)
Jack: People my age have children?!?!? I am children.
LOOOOOOOLLL THAT TOOK THE LIFE OUT OF ME😂😂😂😂
I can relate to your grief... some days ago I somehow decided it'd be a good idea to put my glasses on the floor whilst working out... took a step to the side and felt them ~crunch~ under my foot.
RIP glasses, you'll always be remembered.
it’s when the companies you spend ages tailoring an application for DONT EVEN REPLY TO SAY NO
Ah the job search!!! Thank you indeed! I got another rejection yesterday and broke down... sometimes it gets to you BUT not giving up! We will get there 🙏🏼
Fire alarm: goes off
jack Ben Edwards: "This is not ideal"
😂😂😂
I've got a laptop with a touchscreen as well, and yeah, it's useful, but you better not break it, cause the cost of repair is PAINFUL to say the least. Another thing about adulthood - it hurts your soul whenever you need to spend any money. ;p
Im 17 and i currently disagree
When i was younger it hurt me to spend cos i didn't have much to spend.
Now i have a job and actually have an income im more willing to spend.
I feel like adults would spend 20 quid on a top but to me that is huge uno
@@janani1826 Well, I feel like when you're young you spend your parents' money, but when you actually have to work hard for it yourself you're not so keen on spending it. But hey,maybe it's just me and my avarice XD
@@annagorniak however when u r young
Ur parents act like a tenner is a huge deal. Whereas when u earn urself, you realise that it's not such a big deal
But hey I'm young and am blessed that i dont have bills just yet 😂
@@janani1826 u have no idea how blessed you are, enjoy it while it lasts ;p
I have a touchscreen and it's annoying because people keep touching the screen not knowing and messing up my work 🤣
jack is the embodiment of a ray of sunshine
his effort to keep it realistic is immaculate
We love a relatable yet ambitious person, you're awesome Jack, i relate to you so much for real
I saw the video’s title and thought “...for only 15 minutes? He must be pretty on top of things!”
😂😂😂
looooove that you share the difficulties of life as well, jack. that is truely brave and incredibly valuable! thank u so much!
Jack Edwards is the king of chilling-ly blending in anxiety + hardship to daily vlogsss
OMG, Jack, thank you so much! You can always brighten up the day.
Thank you for being so honest about the difficulties you're facing with finding a graduate job in 2020... we're all going through it! Best of luck with the job search :)
another amazing video!! always love your content. all the best finding a job and thanks for keeping it real
Jack doing the same jokes on different social media platforms
don’t expose me like this!!!
@@jack_edwards sorry hahahah
"I am children" yeah, I felt that a lot. I'm not ready adulting.
I spoke to customer service when the planner was being delivered, it was such a new experience but I wasn't put on hold for an eternity
This entire video is such a mood. Also, 2020 has made me really glad to have been a 2019 grad.
yes, omggggg
Happy late birthday x
Good luck with the job search!
This is v encouraging. The fear of adulthood has kept me in education for all eternity. I am in the midst of my second master's degree and probs going to head into a PhD right after.... •internal screaming•
i'm hollering at the part when Jack's on hold omg a _vibe✨_
Sending good vibes for that job search!!! I know I'll be living that struggle in a year from now ;)
His face when the internet guy actually picks up the phone had be on the floor 🤣🤣🤣
i felt EVERY second of this
Jack, you're so chaotic here and I love you for it
Wish you all the best Jack! Looking for a job is a shitshow no one prepares you for! Hang in there 🌸
I was so sure when Isaw the title this gonna be about those glasses lol
little mix the search is a banger of a show, i'm really loving it!! i hope you get your tv licence asap to watch it!!
Jack's banter is second to none. 😂😭
Watching Jack's videos always makes me feel better.
I know an 19 year old with 2 kids and I’m like HOW 😭
oh same, i know people who started having kids at like 16 and some of those are people i wouldnt trust with a sandwich
@@nyan0812nerd having kids is a blessing
At the end of the day, anyone can have kids (obviously some people can't but you know what I mean), but that doesn't mean they are ready for it
Recent 2020 graduate here and also still on the hunt for a job, so yes thank you for this 😭
jack you're actually a bundle of laughs and i can't stop watching your videos
NEEDED THIS JACK THANKS I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO ADULT BUT IM TRYING MY BEST
Good morning! It's actually 5.45am so spot on :) Ooh treats. I never leave them near me if I know I'll be there for a while. Best management trick is having my cat's fav blanket on my lap. Once she's settled and purring no way am I disrupting her rest to get a treat.
i am in love with your vibe
I’d definitely make an excel sheet with key dates and deadlines for applications.
Also join group chats of other grads to find out what test providers are used during recruitment & then just join all the online events companies offer.
I’m in the job journey (NCL Law finalist) - but have found this method^ to be super helpful :)
Great video as always!
Jack, I really really feel for you. I graduated with a master’s degree in social sciences and humanities in 2019 and was unemployed (working part time as a crossfit coach to get by) for a bit over a year and omg I related so much to this whole vlog! It is so damn hard to go through it all! (got a job at Specsavers HQ in Denmark now, so quite funny, that you quoted them in this vlog). Looking back, I regret not taking more time off after graduating. I was completely burned out and then hit by the massive stress that is the jobhunt!
The pandemic hit and that was the first time I was actually forced to take a break, which Ironically was a lifesaver for me!
Anyway, the constant rejections are so demoralizing and pressure to be productive is extreme. I realized that I don’t think I am anyone unless I work, which is super concerning...
You will get through this, and whoever hires you will be extremely lucky to have you! Appreciate all the honesty!
I love how his Instagram stories are teasers and the TH-cam video is the movie
Watching this in 2023 this is one of my favorites of yours! Love how you are with words. So funny and talking about how insane 2020 was. Wish I’d gotten into TH-cam a lot more then and saw your videos but hey this is so fun now. 😂
JACK! You’re the ULTIMATE style icon!
I just turned 20 and I don't know how to accept the fact that I'm not a teenager anymore.
Omg when you started talking about completing that security job application. I can totally relate to having starting out having specific ideas on the job search, now I'm like ah anything will do haha 😂😂😂
Absolutely LOVE your shelf, alcohol and books, what else?
Jack being on hold is a mood!
I feel you Jack, I have just graduated from uni without much work experience. Even though I have graduated with a first class degree, I am constantly rejected by the jobs that I have applied for and it is honestly so frustrating. My mental health is suffering from all these rejections, but I guess it is what it is, we are living in the midst of a pandemic, what more can we do. Let's just hope things will get better in the future.
Hope ur doing ok in the job search! I know how you feel about your brain not being stimulated - I’m waiting for my job to start in November and this whole year i’ve just been working in retail and floating around in grey matter wondering when my life will begin loool. Also - in case u haven’t done it yet - I highly rec signing up to some graduate recruitment agencies! I got absolutely nowhere on job websites for months when i was a new graduate last year, but I managed to get interviews pretty quickly through a recruitment agency (though obviously everything is going to be a little harder this year).
I believe in you! It’s a long slog but you’ll get there in the end 💙
I had a friend of mine get married a couple weeks ago and she just turned 20. Like how?!? I remember going to her high school graduation.
me too Jack me too, I am also baffled at the fact that people my age or even YOUNGER have CHILDREN like yes I am still not even able to function as an adult myself I don't have the time to even THINK about children. and yes i am 22
ohmygod i felt the hold segment on a whole other level, no one warned me that adults spent 90% of their life on hold
High five Jack!🙌 I'm a Master's graduate and I'm also currently looking for a job, fun times. I've always thought adulthood meant having your life sorted out, not struggling to make your ends meet, oh well.😂
I am terrified of having to be an adult.
OH MY GOD we had the same issue with our wifi too. Moved in August 15th and was originally going to get our wifi on the 24th... we got our wifi on the 24th OF SEPTEMBER. It’s so infuriating when the hold messages tell you to ‘go online’ when you literally can’t!!!!!
I’ve been applying for jobs too since August too (2020 psychology graduate) and I *hopefully* have finally secured one. Keep at it we can do it!!
i'm so happy you brought back the 'not with covid though' in the intro :)
I got very scared for a minute thinking this would be some serious update but its just jack being jack
I mean, props to you for making your bed. I haven't got round to that in a while and really really should, but uni is a lot
I wanna get into the Suitable Boy❤️ have ordered my book too!
Yep 2020 graduate and I am really thankful that someone is speaking the truth of what its like to get a job or graduate scheme at the moment
JACK IS MY BEST PART OF THE WORK
At one point my glasses were broken in four places in quarantine so I know the feeling
i love this guy
Jack is the only TH-camr I will watch the adverts for
strawberry laces are one of the best things in existence ✨
Everything about this video made me incredibly happy
I have that laptop and it works amazingly! I love the touch screen and fingerprint reader.
Happy Birthday!
“Not Covid though” thanks for clearing that Jack I was about to leave the video !
I honestly just low key platonically love you
You're 22, oh boy, i'm 25 and still a certified mess. I've moved through no word period to juggling 4 jobs while not making nearly enough to even aford to move out from my parents.
You're doing fine, Jack, believe me.
the hat, the burned burger and then making eye contact with someone... OMG I can't
I feel you from the heart son. I feel you..
Thank you for being so honest about your job hunt. I'm a 2020 graduate and it is awfulll. Oof. Being an adult sucks but we're all on this sinking ship together. 😂
Jack you are my cheeky indulgence!!!
oh my lord, what a tragedy! here for u jacky!
i love this man
Ummm I just graduated and am sitting on linkedin applying for jobs too so I would love that content 😌 also ngl really happy to hear a youtuber talk about looking for jobs - of course I think youtube is a real job but I find it harder to relate to ppl who go full-time
You just won me at "Little Mix"
Same. 🥺
Sameeee
could you please consider putting the planners up for sale earlier next year? i have wanted to buy one for the past two years, but mye school starts in mid august and so the planner relase and subsequent delivery have been to late
love your channel jack!! sorry for bad spelling, english is my second language
Duuuude I also graduated this year and the gradually broadening job filters was such a mood
