To be honest Eve, it’s really intimidating for me when a lot of the study tubers are doing all this crazy extra business stuff, the fact that you’re talking about the reality of uni, the ups and downs and showing us the work load you have is so helpful - I have an essay this week, so watching this video was really helpful, especially seeing how positive you are about getting it done in a short space of time. Please don’t be down about your vlog, I find it really inspiring and I’m sure plenty of others do too. Real is best ☺️ xx
Eve please don’t feel like your channel is stagnant!!! These weekly oxford vlogs are in my opinion the best ever content you’ve uploaded. Honestly the only vlogs i will happily watch for 45+ minutes because it’s like i’m watching my friend, you’re so genuine and natural in front of the camera and that’s what people love!! I can’t express how much i love these vlogs because they’re so REAL (good & bad & funny etc). I would much rather watch these videos than youtubers doing more ‘exciting’ things and I’m sure many people feel the same way
To be honest I love your vlogs because you're so realistic and relatable and humble! I am not looking for "inspirational study advice" videos and I don't need to watch someone cook a five course super healthy meal for lunch - things like that are just too far from my own academic reality. As I'm typing this I'm sitting at my messy desk with my 8th cup of coffee for today, anatomy oral exam coming up next week. I haven't had a proper meal in days, haven't been in bed before 1 AM in weeks, haven't seen a hairdresser in months, but it's okay. Times like these are a chance to grow :) Lots of love from Germany 🌻
Alisha Haley I’ve just gone into second year at uni and it took me that long to learn how to budget! Best advice is to work out what you spend per month, I.e bills and then other expenses then compare it to what you actually get per month , absolutely a life saver for me 💁
Uh this one sounds tough but I love your vlogs😍 and yes please make a study as series 🙈 and I was just wondering could you make a video about how you budget in Uni?
Amy not going to lie (and this isn’t a bash on Eve because she has earned it and deserves it all!) but she will be earning so much from TH-cam budgeting for her may be very different to a normal student
Eve I felt EXACTLY the same in my first year of college because I chose a college where I didn’t know anyone and almost threw myself into it. This year I’m enjoying it so much more and I actually feel like I’m living it instead of just ‘pushing through it’. I honestly believe now that I was just overwhelmed but I didn’t know it at the time and you know what; uni and college is HARD, it’s okay to be overwhelmed and just not sure how you feel. Your not on your own xx
ngl the reason why i love you is bcos it’s just so realistic, the work-life balance is realistic and i don’t look at your channel rolling my eyes every two mins lmao
ooooohhhh Eve, I think I know exactly what you're feeling, I struggle with that as well! Feeling, that I'm not really there, my mind is separated from my body almost. Like, I can manage just fine, but I'm not really here. Do you find that you don't have many memories as well? Like, for example, I went to a concert, but I could barely remember anything from it the next day? What I found helpful so far are the anchoring techniques: every now and then I am trying to get back to the present moment, like the most basic anchoring technique is to touch something next to you and try to really feel it, like a texture of it etc. it helps to feel that you really there. I found that this kind of problem appears when you live in constant state of future in your mind, always worrying about the next assignment or thinking about next day. Also, if you only focus on the results and not the process. Let's say you are writing an essay, but you don't really think about writing it, but about having written it. You think about how much time it will take you, when it will be done etc. So, writing it you are not really living in the present moment. This is why writing it is upsetting and annoying, because you are impatient to have it done already, so you can get on with the next task. But you are not really living, you are just completing tasks. But there are always new tasks, so you are never at ease. If you focus on the process instead, on the present (I know it's soooo hard) you can find happiness living your life, not just having achieved something.
Sorry for the long comment hahha. This is something that I've been thinking a lot about. If you want to talk about it some more @chips_z_chili is my insta :)
Hey :) incase this helps what your feeling might be called Depersonalisation/Derealization. You may already know this or I might be completely wrong but just incase it does help I thought I'd share this. It's a mental disorder, but definitely one you can combat. (If you were to have it) Just letting you know it gets better in time, whether you have it or not. I know it sounds generic but its genuinely so true!
Hey Eve I just wanted to say that I’m starting Uni next year in late February to early March (I’m from/in Australia) and I really love your channel because you show a completely real version of a Uni journey with all the ups and downs and the realities of it all! It’s just been really awesome to see vlogs about uni which are real and authentic so thank you!
Aww Eve breaks my heart to see you feeling low! I think it's important to remember that everyone feels this way at some point in their uni journey (and life journey!) and also that it's SO important to take time for yourself (sans-friends, however much you love them) as well as keeping in touch with old friends + family, and remember that people wouldn't hang out with you if they didn't want to - no one is forcing them! chin up girlie, we're all here to support you! xoxo p.s. your channel isn't stagnant. it's real life, and we love it.
Eve I can relate so much to what you started talking about from 41:25. I remember feeling this way a looot of times for around 3 years now. I feel like when you somehow engage in so much work and study there is no time left to reflect upon yourself. And I guess that might be the reason why you feel detached. I had the best mental state during last summer holidays, I simply had a lot of time to spend alone with myself, asked a lot of questions and tried to answer them. Then when I came back to school the same routine started and I became only focused on exams and my goals which I don't even know were mine or was I simply made to believe that I wanted to achieve them. Wish you all the best
Eve, your weekly vlogs are without a doubt my absolute favourite thing on TH-cam. I'm always so thrilled and excited when I see one pop up in my subscription box! Other study youtubers might be making fancier, sit-down videos, but I can honestly say that (wonderful as those types of videos are) nothing brings me as much joy as your honest, fun and real "stream-of-consciousness" vlogs;) They are truly an invaluable source of motivation for anyone dreaming of going to Oxford and even more so to those currently applying like me. YOU are an invaluable member of the studytube community and occupy a position that no one else could fill! The fact that you continue to upload and thereby help and encourage so many whilst srudying at an institution with a notoriously heavy workload is extraordinary and commendable. Thank you so much for your videos, I hope you can begin to understand how admired and valued you are and be proud of your unique channel! xxx
I'm so grateful that even though you have so much on your hands, you still manage to edit and upload a 50 MIN vlog for us. I feel so excited everytime I see a new video from you because I know I'll be able to sit down and study while listening to it. Thank you Eve! ❤️
As an Oxford fresher, I agree the emotional bombardment is real! I think the fact you're doing weekly vlogs is amazing! Time is so precious here and you should not compare yourself to others who are in different situations. Your wellbeing is more important than anything else xx
Eve this video is so lovely. You are so honest. Many people feel like this (stressed and anxious, questioning themselves). You've been so busy and have crammed so much in in such a short space of time. Give yourself regular 'me' time and you will feel so much better xxx
I legit love your vlogs so much!! I wait for them every week, they’re getting me so excited for uni next year and really pushing me to work for where I wanna go!! Keep going girl you got this💖
tbh I love the vlogs so much and so enjoyable and very nice to sees someone's ups and downs as a normal student. You don't need to make your videos all professional, just real tips, advice and seeing your life unfiltered is all I care about. Just enjoy Oxford because you won't be there for very long and you will have the holidays to film. xxxx
I love your vlogs , I love the more realistic vlogs you produce , there defiantly not boring like you think aha !! I love them more than anyone else’s !!xx I hope you mood lifts next week , you’ve come so far and everyone’s here to support you ❤️
Dont get down, you are studying so hard and at the end of it when you have your degree you will see it was all worth it. your channel is great and you are helping a lot of other students that fee the same way as your self, you are great keep going.
Eve! You’re doing one video a week with the amount of work you have is amazing. Hope you start to feel better - week 6 blues are the worst. your channel has been such a bright light to me this year.
Studymas would be awesome x the uni vlogs are really inspiring, I want to apply to Oxford next year and before watching you go through the application process it wasn't something I'd seen anyone from the midlands do, discovering your videos has changed my life x you're doing amazing though x
I couldn't relate more to how you're feeling Eve. I was down for a really long time, but something I do is make a 'positivity bucket' on my notes on my phone, and the smallest thing that makes you happy write it down and it does kinda help you feel reconnected to yourself again
Eve, I love your vlogs!!! They are different than anyone else's, and I look forward to watching them each week. I feel like I can relate a lot to your uni life, so it is helping me get through mine! Loveee
What you described at 41:20 I totally get. I had this feeling quite intensely throughout my GCSEs and it’s started to creep back now throughout my last year of A levels. I think it’s when I have a lot going on inside my mind and I think I’m fine so I don’t talk to anyone. In reality I make myself feel worse because I’m not talking to someone who can question my worries and irrational thoughts. I’m lucky this year to have close friends who really do understand my mentality and know when I’m getting down, sometimes even before I know 😂 Talk to people Eve, it allows you to see how your feeling from a different perspective making things clearer x Ps yes pls to the vlogmas!!!!
love your weekly vlogs give me a real understanding of how uni life is and i have watched every sing one since you've started to upload them so don't be upset i love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
you're an amazing study youtuber!! don't put yourself down because we all love you and your channel! try to keep yourself in a better mindset because we honestly love you so much
Hi, Eve. I know exactly how you’re feeling. We all feel unmotivated at times and insecure about ourselves but when you see it from a different perspective, everyone is. We’re all trying to figure out what’s goin on and what to do with our futures and probably as insecure even tho it doesn’t seem like that at all. You work so so hard and there’s literally people who put up 10 min vlogs for the week so dont compare yourself to other TH-camrs :) I know viewers don’t know you personally but we love you for you!!! You’re motivating, honest, funny! You don’t have to be perfect, no one is. What you’re feeling is probably triggered by stress but talking about it helps and maybe talking to someone more experienced who can give you an opinion. Try to look after yourself first and things will get better :) take care x
I’m first year too and I fully get how you feel, like I fully understand and feel the same way. I’m sorry you feel this way too but I’m glad I’m not the only one xx
A lot people feel that ‘detached’ feeling when first starting uni, i think it’s because you’re thrown into a completely new life with completely new people that’s so far from the life that you’re used to. You’re so busy and don’t have time to adjust properly and because you’re changing so much you lose sense of who you are
Eve, you got into Oxford, which is a huge achievement! You really deserve to just enjoy your studies and social life now. People who are "moving forward" probably have more time for youtube. You do a lot already :)
Hi Eve! I’m a brand new follower and already find you so lovely and down to earth, so don’t feel like your channel is on pause by any means! I’m a third year and first year to me was just a massive surge of ever changing emotions, but it gets better. You will reach stability in knowing who you are, and having a routine and all that jazz, it just takes time. Chin up you lovely human x
You are in an AMAZING place and time in your life. I love seeing your experience because I live in America. Focus on being at the University and your studies. These are the BEST years of your life. Opportunities will come when the time is right. 💕
Hi Eve, good vlog, I get what you say about feeling detached, I got it when I was a student, I think its probably due to stress (of course!) - all the new people/ideas/things to do/lack of sleep/emotions/time pressure - think its called depersonalisation disorder, you say you are not growing and being left behind but the experience you are having is literally doing that, you are growing learning adapting and all that stuff, when you look back on it you'll see how much you have changed for the better. Best wishes!
I always jump to watch your videos as soon as you upload them! Don’t give up I love your videos because they are genuine your not trying to force ‘exciting’ content. I think your doing great 😁
eve!!! the 'detached feeling' is called depersonalisation. Its actually a disorder. I had it once previously at a party and i understand how weird it feels.
Eve,you are a lovely person. As a viewer I lobe your vlogs. You may say that your vlogs do not have excitement in them, but we like them!!! Sometimes all we want is to relate with someone and not feel alone. We want to see what happens in reality, not perfection! Continue to be yourself ♡♡♡
I went to Peru this past summer! I really loved it a lot. I did get hit with the altitude sickness when we got to Cusco so maybe beware of that. If you get to go to Machu Picchu though, genuinely one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever been. Actually standing there and seeing it all in person just makes you feel some type of way.
Eve darling, if you're gonna keep walking around in the cold without a jacket and scarf when you've just come out of a club all sweaty and hot, it's no surprise that you'll get sick. You did the same thing last time you had the flu!! Be nice to your bronchia!!
I just started uni as well and I honestly, 100% fully understand how you feel...You're doing amazing, if you need time away from TH-cam please take it because your degree and mental health is so much more important. As a creator myself as well I feel I'm not doing everything I can but you need to think about yourself more...Stay positive and keep smiling because we love you and believe in you
Hi! Haven't watched the full video yet but just wanted to say that I got an interview from Oxford for English at Christ Church! Also I would love a studymas series xx
Relate so much about being detached at Uni, I've been going home most weekends and I only feel present when I'm home, I think it's because you have nothing familiar at Uni
I can really relate to what you are saying so much. I feel like I’m here but not really here as I joined a new sixth form and i am not home till 5:30 everyday; everything has changed but I feel like it’s all a blur! Thank god someone feels the same x
I’m gonna be so anxious when I go to uni next year and it’s mainly cause everything is gonna change and I’ll be so in control and responsible for my life for the first time ever. I hope you feel better soon but I’m sure you’ll get used to it and settle in x
YES to Studymas! That’s one of my favourite set of vlogs, if you’re up to doing it then I’d love to watch another one ❤️ Also Eve I get that feeling of not being 100% there as well, it just seems like everything is going by so fast and that I can’t keep up with it but it always eventually goes away, there just needs to be time to be able to relax and enjoy my time ^^
You are doing great! I love ur videos.. I am also a uni student and honestly no one can expect more content than you are putting out given the workload!
I felt this way during Sixth Form college. Sounds like you're at a transitional point in your life. I suggest just rolling with whatever happens, looking after yourself, and eventually everything will fall into place. :)
I subscribed because I wanted to see studytube content- a whole 50 minute weekly vlog of you at Oxford is exactly the content I wanted to see, it’s not stagnant whatsoever. I genuinely look forwards to your vlogs every weekend. Uni isn’t for very many weeks a year; there will be plenty of opportunities to grow your channel in the holidays.
You're not a "failure" at all❤❤!!! You got into Oxford (and doing AMAZING!!) and, although you've got loads to do, you still upload such interesting and inspirational videos every single week😊😊P.S. I'd love a studymas series :)
I would love a studymas series! x
To be honest Eve, it’s really intimidating for me when a lot of the study tubers are doing all this crazy extra business stuff, the fact that you’re talking about the reality of uni, the ups and downs and showing us the work load you have is so helpful - I have an essay this week, so watching this video was really helpful, especially seeing how positive you are about getting it done in a short space of time.

I can’t express how much i love these vlogs because they’re so REAL (good & bad & funny etc). I would much rather watch these videos than youtubers doing more ‘exciting’ things and I’m sure many people feel the same way
emily0071000 agreed ☺️
To be honest I love your vlogs because you're so realistic and relatable and humble! I am not looking for "inspirational study advice" videos and I don't need to watch someone cook a five course super healthy meal for lunch - things like that are just too far from my own academic reality.
As I'm typing this I'm sitting at my messy desk with my 8th cup of coffee for today, anatomy oral exam coming up next week. I haven't had a proper meal in days, haven't been in bed before 1 AM in weeks, haven't seen a hairdresser in months, but it's okay. Times like these are a chance to grow :)
Lots of love from Germany 🌻
I would love a studymas series! You are incredibly motivating Eve and I love your videos! xoxoxo
Alisha Haley I’ve just gone into second year at uni and it took me that long to learn how to budget!
Best advice is to work out what you spend per month, I.e bills and then other expenses then compare it to what you actually get per month , absolutely a life saver for me 💁
I love Eve studynass
Maybe you're feeling down because you achieved your goal with going to oxford and now you don't know which goal you have right now
yes this is very common. eve should try meditation (mindfulness/open awareness) to try and find what is important to her.
Miriam T this happened to me. Worked to get into law school then had no goal
Uh this one sounds tough but I love your vlogs😍 and yes please make a study as series 🙈 and I was just wondering could you make a video about how you budget in Uni?
Amy not going to lie (and this isn’t a bash on Eve because she has earned it and deserves it all!) but she will be earning so much from TH-cam budgeting for her may be very different to a normal student
Harrywsh very true !’but doesn’t mean she can’t budget with income coming in
Eve I felt EXACTLY the same in my first year of college because I chose a college where I didn’t know anyone and almost threw myself into it. This year I’m enjoying it so much more and I actually feel like I’m living it instead of just ‘pushing through it’.

I loved your studymas last year and would love one this year xx ❤️
When I see a 50 minute vlog from Eve at 10am on Saturday, my weekend is complete
Studymas would be amazing!! But only if you feel up to it and it won't affect your physical/mental health. Remember to have a rest as well xx
I love how real you are - so helpful to know someone acc feels like this as wellllll
ooooohhhh Eve, I think I know exactly what you're feeling, I struggle with that as well! Feeling, that I'm not really there, my mind is separated from my body almost.

Hi Eve, good vlog, I get what you say about feeling detached, I got it when I was a student, I think its probably due to stress (of course!) - all the new people/ideas/things to do/lack of sleep/emotions/time pressure - think its called depersonalisation disorder, you say you are not growing and being left behind but the experience you are having is literally doing that, you are growing learning adapting and all that stuff, when you look back on it you'll see how much you have changed for the better. Best wishes!
Whenever you feel down, just remember that we all love you no matter what.
You are not a failure... you are an inspiration to me and every week I wait for your vlog💕💕 don’t let yourself down ilysm
Would definitely love a study/revision series!! Love your videos Eve!!!
I always jump to watch your videos as soon as you upload them! Don’t give up I love your videos because they are genuine your not trying to force ‘exciting’ content. I think your doing great 😁
Eve. I love that you upload once a week it tells me your still alive and that uni life is work heavy
I love these vlogs so much like I look forward to sitting down and watching them every Saturday
eve!!! the 'detached feeling' is called depersonalisation. Its actually a disorder. I had it once previously at a party and i understand how weird it feels.
omg that's true
Definitely true! I have it all the time unfortunately, and I understand that it's really difficult sometimes ❤️
It’s also a common side effect of anxiety and/or depression
planet abb i get it when i’m verrrryyyyyy tired! always freaked me out
Omggg i had it too during exams because of the stress/ anxiety !!! 😭😭
Eve,you are a lovely person. As a viewer I lobe your vlogs. You may say that your vlogs do not have excitement in them, but we like them!!! Sometimes all we want is to relate with someone and not feel alone. We want to see what happens in reality, not perfection! Continue to be yourself ♡♡♡
Yes absolutely would love a studymas series Eve x
LOVED this video ❤️
I love your videos Eve!! 100% relate with you so much with your Uni experience and always love to watch your videos!! Keep it up ☺️☺️
I’ve been going through a emotional rollercoaster (foundation year). 💜 I send you all hope and praise. We students can get through this together.
50 minute eve vlog? YES PLEASE. sending all the love ❤️
I went to Peru this past summer! I really loved it a lot. I did get hit with the altitude sickness when we got to Cusco so maybe beware of that. If you get to go to Machu Picchu though, genuinely one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever been. Actually standing there and seeing it all in person just makes you feel some type of way.
Yes Studymas would be amazing!!!! Eve , I just love your videos....your vlogs and study with me s are the greatest source of motivation..
Omg 100% agree with you, university is such an emotional rollercoaster
Eve darling, if you're gonna keep walking around in the cold without a jacket and scarf when you've just come out of a club all sweaty and hot, it's no surprise that you'll get sick. You did the same thing last time you had the flu!! Be nice to your bronchia!!
yes please i loved your vlogmas last year x
We know your busy at uni and we all enjoy your vlogs so keep doing you as it’s real life x
Don’t be so tough on yourself, you are doing so well. 😊 Sending you a huge hug! X
I just started uni as well and I honestly, 100% fully understand how you feel...You're doing amazing, if you need time away from TH-cam please take it because your degree and mental health is so much more important. As a creator myself as well I feel I'm not doing everything I can but you need to think about yourself more...Stay positive and keep smiling because we love you and believe in you
Please do a video on how you revised Spanish at a level and also how you practised your speaking xxx :)
Eve I love you soo much xx Yes please I would love the series.
50 minutes! YES please❤️🙌❤️
I would love a studymas series as your study videos never fail to make me productive
I would love a studymas series I still watch your last year studymas videos to get motivated they help a lot like a lot ❤
literally love watching these vlogs
when did I become a recurring character in ur vlogs that just eats
I LOVED studymas and I still watch them probably daily! I would love another series ❤️
Love your vlogs so much atm, love it!! Xx
I love your German translation at 9:15 on your laptop screen: "After five minutes you knew you hated Oxford."
would love a studymas, they're the perfect combination of motivational and festive!
I loved study-mas last year! Happy holidays Eve
Yes would deffo love studymas! Need motivation to prep for end of A-levels now x
Hi! Haven't watched the full video yet but just wanted to say that I got an interview from Oxford for English at Christ Church! Also I would love a studymas series xx
Gurjeet Kaur Christ church in Bristol!!!
omg me too!
congratulations!
Congrats :D
Congratulations! I've got one for English in Trinity - best of luck!
Relate so much about being detached at Uni, I've been going home most weekends and I only feel present when I'm home, I think it's because you have nothing familiar at Uni
I would love one this year, I worked alongside the studymas last year and now I’ve started a levels so it would really help❤️
I can really relate to what you are saying so much. I feel like I’m here but not really here as I joined a new sixth form and i am not home till 5:30 everyday; everything has changed but I feel like it’s all a blur! Thank god someone feels the same x
Watching your videos makes me miss uni so so much! Can't wait to go back in September!
I’m gonna be so anxious when I go to uni next year and it’s mainly cause everything is gonna change and I’ll be so in control and responsible for my life for the first time ever. I hope you feel better soon but I’m sure you’ll get used to it and settle in x
Sarah Barnes that’s exactly how I felt. But honestly you will love it. It’s the best decision I ever made
YES to Studymas! That’s one of my favourite set of vlogs, if you’re up to doing it then I’d love to watch another one ❤️
Also Eve I get that feeling of not being 100% there as well, it just seems like everything is going by so fast and that I can’t keep up with it but it always eventually goes away, there just needs to be time to be able to relax and enjoy my time ^^
You are doing great! I love ur videos.. I am also a uni student and honestly no one can expect more content than you are putting out given the workload!
Yessss girl!! we need study series!
would love a studymas series Eve!! Hope you feel better xx
Would love to see another studymas I loved your one last year it was so motivating! 💗
I felt this way during Sixth Form college. Sounds like you're at a transitional point in your life. I suggest just rolling with whatever happens, looking after yourself, and eventually everything will fall into place. :)
Omg I'm so early! Just started the video but can't wait to watch! Looks so good xx ( Also love your vlog style!!)
U are the only person for whom i can spare my time of literally an hour ,and loved this video by the way😘😘😘😘
Keeping me through this week and I would love to see studymas
I subscribed because I wanted to see studytube content- a whole 50 minute weekly vlog of you at Oxford is exactly the content I wanted to see, it’s not stagnant whatsoever. I genuinely look forwards to your vlogs every weekend. Uni isn’t for very many weeks a year; there will be plenty of opportunities to grow your channel in the holidays.
Watching this vlog is making me excited to come home to Oxford for the Christmas break🎉
You're not a "failure" at all❤❤!!! You got into Oxford (and doing AMAZING!!) and, although you've got loads to do, you still upload such interesting and inspirational videos every single week😊😊P.S. I'd love a studymas series :)
I will definitely enjoy a studymas series and i used to watch your old one which was LIT! ❤
*Adore your videos Eve 😍😍😍*
Yes please I loved loved loved studymas xx Especially as I have January mocks this year!
I’m in second year of uni and I feel like this all the time! ❤️
