    Hey Jade, I wanted to say (I think on behalf of everyone) that you are an amazing person and we are so proud that you have come all this way - I've been watching your videos for some years now and you always bring my mood up and motivate me to study! Your journey has been so fun for me even though I'm not there - keep up the good work

    Dear Jade, as someone who has watched you since your A Levels days, you finishing uni is really emotional. I can’t even imagine how you must feel. I started high school when you started Minerva and it feels like we’ve been on this studying journey together. I finished last year and took an unexpected gap year and it’s weird to thing that my first year of uni won’t overlap with your last year. I’m SO happy you chose Minerva, it seems to have been such a gratifying experience and has given us viewers incredible content for the past 4 years. Good luck for the next chapter of your life. I know it’s scary but in 5 years you’ll look back on your graduation as a happy and essential step in your life xx

    Hi Jade,
    just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to be bold and apply for that university in England (I am from Germany). I actually got in!!! Now all I need to do is lots of paperwork and raising a ton of money but I am just soo happy that I might be able to experience this crazy adventure of studying abroad

    I can't believe it's been 4 years already… I discovered your channel with your video about interrailing and kept following when you were talking about gap year and started Minerva. It's been so amazing being able to see you grow and become the person you are today, thank you for bringing us along

    Jade, the 'Manifest' process may be challenging, but it's wonderful that you have a whole month to process and reminisce with friends. Enjoy every moment of this month-long adventure, create beautiful memories with your friends, and prepare for an unforgettable graduation ceremony. You've worked so hard for this achievement, and I'm cheering you on every step of the way! 🎓✨
    BTW, in my country, you could get four great meals for $16! It's mind-boggling... 🤯

    I don't really comment on videos, I started watching Jade in my 2nd year of pharmacy school and now I'm graduating on Monday. I feel like were in this journey together and whenever i want to feel a source of peace or calm i always come back to your videos. So i just wan to let you know how proud of you I am and THANK YOU for making me feel less lonely during my uni years.

    Hey Jade, after watching your graduation and being reminded of my younger self watching you still very unsure if i was gonna get allowed into my top university and now having finished my first year with a lot of personal hardships that got in the way, i now am rewatching some of your videos like this one and realising that i really wanna set more goals for myself that i know could give me a lot of peace (like journaling, staying up or getting up for a sunset/sunrise etc) during my study. I don't blame myself for not doing so in first year with everything that was going on, but i still want to thank you for being so inspiring and taking a leap of faith to join this university to then also share it with us. Cause its making me realise theres many things i can do to inrich my experience of my uni without it actually being study related.
    I'm still waiting on my first year uni results but hopefully soon I can look back on this comment with good and happy news

    brb crying, they literally said "haha we took the words full circle literally, have fun with the wall of emotions"
    I honestly think it's so great it's kinda your job to capture things and be good at it because you'll look back at this so fondly one day.
    I wish I could go on an adventure like that while getting a degree, but the fact that the flights aren't covered in the tuition of Minerva and the fact that I know I couldn't study and work simultaneously is kinda crossing it off the list.

    Jade, congratulations on your graduation. It’s a big accomplishment. Those of us who have always lived in the States are also struggling with the high prices. Inflation has sent everything sky high in the last two years. It’s a real struggle to keep up with the basics for many people. (And you made some very good points about the poor health system here.)

    Jade, I've watched your videos the whole way through minverva as I've also been at uni and am now graduating too! Seeing your positivity and appreciation towards your journey helps me see the beauty in my own and although closing this chapter is so daunting seeing your growth towards this point of graduating/moving on fills me with so much joy and hope. What you said about reflecting and feeling the first year you full of hope at the journey ahead resonates so deeply, I hope like me you can look back and feel so proud of your accomplishments the past 4 years. Enjoy the rest of your uni days, you are the best!

    Jade, I just want to thank you for all your inspirational videos❤ Years ago you came on my youtube recommendations and I'm watching your videos ever since then :) You inspired me to travel and that it's important to also learn outside of the classroom and do what you love. I admire your positive mindset. It's hard sometimes to find positivity when you feel lost in life and have no idea what you want and not really liking your degree and time at uni, but I try. I don't think I would have ever studied abroad for 5 months if I hadn't seen your videos💕🇧🇻 Now I'm planning a gapyear after my bachelors degree, because I don't know what to do next and I'm so excited to go solo interrailing, visit africa, work, volunteer and work on mental health🤩 Although it's scary at the same time. I want to say thank you for all the inspiration and I''m so proud of you for graduating and I'm sure there will come great opportunities on your path after graduation. Congrats jade🎉🎉❤

    Hey Jade, first congratulation. I am so happy for you. And I am also jealous (well jealous than duc @ 3.21) of your whole university experience. It is a dream for me. I have never stepped out of my country (and I am 20 XD). I have seen the Oxford rejection video and now you are graduating. And it is kind of inspiring to me. Sometimes life is so random. We can't plan our life, we should go with the flow. But the most important thing is to be strong. Sometimes life takes us to wonderful places that we have never even heard of. Good luck jade.

    Hey Jade, I've been watching some of your uni experiences! Yeah I was feeling the feels this morning - just being sad that I'm saying goodbye to three years of my life, the people I loved that I only have met 5 months ago that I wished I met them earlier in the course, the people who were there for the past three years I'm going to sorely miss. But I'm moving my life again to Reading where I hopefully would enjoy my new job and living there! Its a lot to process!

  • @snoopyscul22

    Hi Jade, I'm relatively new to your channel, so I was going back to watch older videos of yours. Yesterday, I watched the video where you move to SF to start uni and now I'm watching you go back to graduate, which is so crazy to me! I can tell that you have grown in between the two videos, but you also still seem like the same beautiful soul. I appreciate your perspective on the differences - good and bad - that you see between the different countries you've gotten to experience. I am from the US but currently studying in Wales, and while they aren't drastically different, you've reminded me in this video of some things I had already forgotten about, and how complex these places are, both in our memories/expectations and in reality. All the best to you on your journey 💚

    Congratulations on graduating, Jade! Thank you for that real talk reflection, I really appreciated it from someone who has experienced so many different cultures, environments and social systems.
    I just have one contribution to make - our NHS is so much better than the US system in so many ways! The NHS unlike the US healthcare system has and will always stand for healthcare being a human right and putting people before profit. The UK social system needs changes and reforms in so many areas like housing, social care and education (among others) but I think us Brits need to have more faith in a better future for the NHS- after all, it isn’t the people in it who make these waiting times and lists so dreadfully long. I know that it’s on its knees rn but I invite you to be reflective of the message the NHS sends out to the world compared with the US system. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk, have a lovely rest of your day/evening/night ✨🪴

    I have never really subscribed to this channel (not really the meant audience) but I have checked in every once in a while ever since you were doing A levels. I am probably a year younger and was really obsessed with getting into Oxford. All these years later, you are graduating and have a life put together, and I on the other hand did not get into a university I liked, didn't end up studying what I wanted and have failed two straight consecutive years what I have been doing hahahaha.
    Congrats and thanks for sharing.

    The Tenderloin. I hear you. It was shocking even back in the aughts but I can only imagine how it is now and the culture shock you are experiencing. We have some enormous problems here in the states. SF is a city of extremes that pretty much encapsulates the disparities of this nation.

    I also graduated last week (only high school but still) and today I visited the school one last time to give each of the teachers I had a letter I wrote for them and, I don't know, it's just so hard to believe that I won't ever come back and I am officially not a student any more. If I'm being honest, I was looking forward to this summer sooooo much and now I just feel kind of lost and I'm scared of not using the time and new freedom I have meaningfully (I'll go abroad in September for a gap year as an au pair so I don't have anything to plan and prepare academically) and even though I have this list of all the things I wanted to do once graduation is over, I just don't know where to start and I'm so, so exhausted from everything, especially because for the past 1.5 years, I had a part-time job that I honestly hated a lot and that burnt me out and yesterday, I had my last day of work which obviously is a reason to celebrate but it just doesn't feel like I imagined at all. I'm not sure if any of this made sence, but I'm still incredibly grateful that you read this entire comment :)

    I understand the culture shock of SF. I grew up in a rural area in the Midwest United States, I had never seen the horrible conditions some people in my country are living in until I went to SF. I spent last summer there and I was horrified. No one should ever have to live on the streets.
    And although I was forced to acknowledge my privilege on the daily, the situation also impacted my quality of life in some ways. Like what!?!? There’s no outlets in certain coffee shops or even tables due to homeless people having harrassed the workers there. Most things are locked behind glass boxes in stores. Security guards at the local cvs past sundown. People smoking weed or other drugs on the train on my commute. I hated it. I hated the inherent lack of trust and public decency everyone had of eachother. I remember a lecture that one of my professors at school did that really changed my perspective. She said that the more wealth inequality a society has- the more everyone suffers. And of course the suffering is vastly unequal, but as you can see in SF wealthy people are just taking more and more drastic measures to protect their wealth, and thereby isolating themselves from the community and living in fear. While everyone else suffers much worse on the streets.
