Mark 8:34
New International Version
The Way of the Cross
34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
Am i the only person who is introverted but loves to listen/talk to people even though it can be tiring
I'm an introvert and I love to listen to people, but I do not talk too easily with strangers. But if someone knows me I'm very very talketive :')
Yeah there always needs to be some kind of balance. If there are two introverts, it can be hard to keep a conversation going and if there are two extraverts, there is no one how likes to listen.
But of course, this is very oversimplified.
No, same here :))
I’m an introvert and I love talking one to one with people, however, when I’m in large groups that’s when I tend to be more shy
I do love talking to people though
@@Ghostcats12 same! I love having deep conversations, but hardly anyone I know is interested or wants to talk about the things I want to..
Minerva seems really tough! Also just because “other universities” are hard as well, doesn’t invalidate your own workload and stress! You’re allowed to be overwhelmed and struggle. But you got this Jade!
Best answer I have seen! :) ♡
When Jade says the workload is tough it's TOUGH
Completely agree I hate it when people try to invalidate your own emotions. Where not the same people and I can feel how I want
i want to know about every single assignment you’ve done that shit’s interesting
Yo you‘ll have so much fun at uni because having friends talk about their assignments is a crucial and - to me - very annoying part of uni haha 😂 (I talk about them a lot too so I sorta need to listen to my friends too)
I know it is soo interesting
Yesss i would love to listen to the assignments too.
Also i’ve read a bit about how San Francisco portrays a fake “We love diversity” attitude when in reality racism runs deep through the city. So whatever you’ve been able to learn and observe, would be really interesting to hear about.
I’m from San Francisco. I think it’s cause corporations and America is inherently racist within their institutions obviously, San Francisco would be no exception. The reason why it’s perceived the way it is is due to the demographic that lives within San Francisco, we’re just a giant melting pot of the whole world. So within the communities itself, and the culture of the individual people, we’re used to seeing people of all colors.
@@mariegail In what way is America inherently racist as of now?
LMAO America is probably the only country who is obsessed with races and racism
@@selenacruz754
That isn't true you should know this as you're a Hispanic, your countries have a notion if bettering and whitening the race and still strongly maintain class and race structures.
@@j0499 omg I'm not Hispanic lol. I am native American, French Canadian and black. I was "adopted" so I use my step dad's surname and he is mexican
describing people as the “glue” that holds you together, even when you think you’re about to break because of all that workload and stress is so. hecking. accurate.
My roommate is the only reason I haven’t dropped out yet. We’re both doing a double degree in medical engineering and mechatronics and she’s basically a safety net. She drags me out of our room to cook dinner, goes to bed at 11pm straight, making it impossible to pull all-nighters and she is the one who laughs whenever we don’t understand something and as someone who is very prone to questioning my entire existence whenever I don’t understand something I’m working on that balance is worth a million.
You keep that girl. She is an absolute gift, the best person you could ever have. She is your rock and your lifeline. Keep going. Both of you. You'll be so so proud once you're done and out. You got this
I hope you're there for her too
ah that's a beautiful friendship- you should tell her this (if you haven't already ofc)
this was so relaxing, i'd love to hear more about your assignments, and stories of your experience at minerva and generally sf
A little tip that I found helpful for undergrad: "You don't have to do everything". School balance is about recognising and optimising your health and productivity. Going to 2 theatre shows, a dinner, a school club, etc and then having to stay up till 3am to finish an assignment is difficult. Sometimes your friends may be going out a lot, or there's just so many things to do or you will get FOMO - but you don't HAVE to do them all, especially if it would deteriorate your health. Everyone balances differently, and sometimes you may just have to cut back on outings to balance better. It's much better to briefly stay in, prioritise finishing the assignment at 6pm and then going out for a late dinner to celebrate with friends! Sometimes it's okay to miss out on a few things to prioritise your sleep and health.
Hi Jade! I think it would be cool (obviously if your classmates accept), to film like "interviews" with people of different countries about how do they feel the life in SF and Minerva in general. Like, cultural diferences with their roomates, missing home, how do they live their religion/specific traditions ... It would be cool to see different perspectives. I wish you the best in SF and Uni! (I think I saw there is a couple of mexican people, I would be particulary interested in hearing them).
Really cool idea!
The examples of the assignments you're given were so helpful at understanding the principles of Minerva better (and they also sounded very interesting!). I wouldn't mind another rambling video about those for sure!
It genuinely feels like catching up with an old friend when you upload videos after a long break Jade. One of the only youtubers I relate to so much that I actually forget I’m not friends with you!
This is honestly so lovely, thank you for being here! 🥺✨
I LOVE HEARING ABOUT THE WORK AND ALL THE ADVENTURES YOY THINK WE WON'T WANNA HEAR BUT YESSS STORIES. GOOD LUCK JADE LYYY
me: *comes for the relationship tea*
jade: *skips the relationship tea*
:(
Asma Mansur She also skipped lots of interesting hypothesis 😞 like that scary night alone as a female.
Majority 34 i was worried that might have been something really serious. It’s not easy to talk about stuff like that out in the open :/
@@swchannel934 which vid?
Pleaase ignore the negative comments and tell us more of your stories and adventures Jade! Thank you for taking time out to share your life experiences! It's all so interesting, especially for someone who would never be in these sorts of situations. I love seeing your growth 😊
Your video totally just made my day! I love the way you adressed negative comments. It's so amazing to see positiveness slowly growing in the comments, I definitely think it's because you persisted in making incredible content despite all the negativity. And that's honestly so cool!! plus the assignment examples you shared really made me certain that minerva really is revolutionizing the educational system, and that it's much more than just a cool motto. I really reallly wish I could be a part of that too someday!
Jade, you are such an inspiration for me. It is incredible how honest your videos are. I am worried about superficial friendships as well and it is so complicated for me to find deep relationships cause I'm really shy. Seeing you interact with different people is so impressive, thank u for inspiring me daily and making me get out of my comfort zone!
I love when you sit and chat with us 💓 I am loving to hear your experience on Minerva and it saddens me that some people are so negative about it. Hopefully u don’t stop talking about it and sharing your stories with us because of those people :( I’m so proud of u jade and u inspire me so much. U have come so far ✨💕 thank u for sharing life stories with us. I appreciate it so much. You’re amazing 💕watching u grow and glow is so rewarding 🌻
I love this video so much! And actually as a same age girl as you in Macau, you do bring me a different vision about the world community and uni life which I’ve been always admiring. Thank you so much for doing this!
Aww I loved this 💕It's so nice to hear more about your experience and how you are liking Minerva! I'm glad you are loving it, it looks like so much fun!
I'd love to hear all the stories you have to tell jade!
I'm sure everyone would love it!❤️😃
The bits where you talked about your assignments were SO interesting please do more about them!!
I’m so glad you’re enjoying yourself, you’re such a nice person you deserve to be happy there
Wow, the friendship talk really hit home for me. Thank you for being honest xx
I love that Jade is just loving life, going on a journey, and not caring about what she's supposed to be doing, and just does what she wants to do. This is what I want to live life like. Really inspiring. I love what you said about conversation too😊
hi jade i just want to say that times have been dark and i'm going to be a senior in high school this upcoming year, hence why hearing you talk about uni life so poetically, actually enjoying the work that you do and seeing how beautiful and thriving you are in that environment just really alleviates a lot of my worries! thank you for this
I would love, love, LOVE to see videos about networking, professional stuff, the internship part of the things etc. It seems like the most interesting part of this university and it is definitely something that passionates me a lot.
Love hearing you list off all the things we have to try and balance when we go to uni 😂 its KILLER
I love hearing your stories ! Also I would be interested in watching more of your korean learning journey (if you even have proper time to study it in the midst of all your assignment and class prep and stuff haha) and maybe a city tour of SF, with hidden gems and your fav spots etc. So yeah some ideas, anyway thank you for sharing so much with us it's a pleasure to watch your videos ! xo
I'd love to hear more rambling stories of your life and adventures whilst at Minerva. I would also love to hear more about your assignments, they're so interesting.
You are incredible. You are such an inspiration. I aspire to have such a beautiful attitude like you. I have my mocks this week and next and your videos are so helpful for mentality and work ethics. ❤️❤️❤️
IM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE omg
This talk is beautiful!!
It's really great to know that u r having fun and enjoying this experience! I made my mum watch it with me and she too thinks u r such a beautiful person for approaching ur social life this way! AND YES WE NEED ANOTHER VIDEO WITH MORE DETAILS!!
Love you Jade and best of luck
yes love the rambling! And yes please tell me all about your assignments its so intriguing!
I really appreciate this video, and it has motivated me to get through school and inspired me to learn. Your assignments sounded so interesting. Made me happy to think like wow these assignments are more than just looking at your theory work and putting it into context but they also force you to expand your knowledge the practical skills you get from doing those assignments are so valuable. I really am excited for what this school is gonna bring to the workforce. They really push everyone to do their best. The people speaking about changenaking and what they want to bring about in the future and seeing how modest and amazing they are is so beautiful. Its such priviledge to be around real, true people. I went on an exchange to brazil to learn stem subjects alongside people form about 15 countries. The program was oriented around changemaking. I had 3 roommates and we stayed there for about a month. I can really relate to some things youre saying because the experiences i had there were quite similiar. It was super interesting hearing more about San Francisco sounds like an amazing city. I really want to be a minerva student but who knows i that would ever happen. Sounds like a dream.
I would LOVE to hear more about your assignments they sound so interesting!!!!
Wow its so interesting to see how you've changed in the small amount of time you've been at uni. They way you talk, the way you carry yourself, you seem more sure of yourself and who you are and I love it!!!
‘it sounds easy’ no jade it really doesn’t u don’t have to justify how hard it is bc it sounds bloody impossible !! respect !! hope you don’t feel too overwhelmed, we know you’ll do amazing in the end x
😭😭😭🥺
Loved this relaxed chat type video!! I’d love to hear the stories that you have!
Girl, please do more of these videos. They're so personal and nice and genuine.
checking the time at 0:00 : it's too long but excited to hear
checking time 25:50 : what??? too short😱😱
love your video Jade🙈 thank you for all your efforts making this video
Oh Jade yes, definitely do more rambly videos, I love watching them and getting to know more about your life at Minerva.
Jade with a new video :0
What a treat on my sad Sunday evening :')
Thank you Jade, that was really insightful and I’m so glad to see you genuinely happy and thriving😂
I've missed your sit down chatty videos so much 💞 pleased to hear that you're enjoying Minerva!
your workload sounds craaaazy jade. Not only the sheer volume of work but also the nature of it - the amount that you are expected to learn independently sounds really challenging. Some ppl in the comments getting aggy about your telling of your experiences defo need to chill out bc that’s all it is - your experience. Its clear you’re not looking down on or assuming anything about anybody else’s uni experience. Hearing about your lust for life and passion for learning and all your adventures and assignments is so inspiring and interesting gal, please keep making videos like this 💛
I love your rambling videos that really calm me and are inspiring
Yess jade tell more stories. And also you can't just leave us hanging like that on the tea with your love life. It's not fair! Also love this video!
I literally loved this video, more of this would be ace :D it's just nice to hear your stories. I'd love to see some vlogging of the city though, I've never been to San Francisco and would love to go. I'm so glad you're having such a good time, it sounds absolutely incredible! It seems like Minerva was the absolute perfect choice for you :)
You've legit grown up so much since the beginning - its inspiring to watch.
That stuff you were saying about complex systems sounds really really interesting - might have to look into it. I love hearing about what you're learning because it's so interesting to draw comparisons with my own degree. The variation in what you're studying is amazing; kudos to you for keeping up with that insane amount of work (research always takes way more time then you think its going to).
How are you getting on with deciphering papers? I always find it tricky starting research on a new topic because I have no grounding and then you're expected to know what all this jargon within the paper means. That you only have two days to discover all this stuff and actually write a paper on it is mental.
I've actually missed your videos so much. It's so nice to hear about what you're up to when you're out in the world exploring and being hella active. I'm so glad that you're doing great mentally (despite the insane amount of stuff you have going on) and that life is good and working out for you.
Maybe first learn the basal stuff before diving into the hard papers like from textbooks and internet (Wiki)... it's like if you would start reading a paper about quantum mechanics/machine learning without knowing calculus. Pointless.
Tntpker in my field of study, wiki and textbooks don’t get you very far. The knowledge I have from my degree is a better basis to go off, but that usually isn’t enough to support what I’m reading in the papers.
@@catp3002 What is your field of study
Tntpker geology
Thanks for sharing all this! I love hearing about your experiences!! ❤️
That first point about being lonely despite having lots of friends - I relate to that so hard and still am trying to overcome that. Thought I was the only one
I find your assignments really interesting! Loved hearing your examples :)
ILY so so so so so much, you're such an inspiration😭❤️
ikr.............
😍
Yes please to the rambly stories, it's a way of seeing through your eyes, you are a magnificent story-teller
I loved listening about your assignments they sound so interesting!!
PLS TALK MORE ABOUT YOUR ADVENTURES AND TIME AT MINERVA
Such a good video! Would love more of these, really appreciate the honesty
im having a study break and i see this. LUCKYYYYY
As am I! Woop for one-way facetiming a friend on study breaks 💛
Omg sameeeeeee❗❗❗❤
film whatever you want girl!! i will watch anything done by you!!
lots of love💖
I get you, I am at a uni in london at the workload hits like a truck in november here too. I think its the same at every uni, very stressful, there are exams approaching, so many assignments and labs, which are 4 hours long twice a week, then all the pre work and calculations for the labs and the work after, all while trying to study for exams. Uni is hard. I am in uni 5 days a week from 9 am to 8pm with lectures /labs/and studying/researching for assignments in the library.
Hey Jade, I love you ❤😊, and I really appreciate the timings for each sections
yessss pls share stories!! i love your videos so much!!
Love love love a ramble-y video!! I’m a librarian that watches TH-cam whilst stacking shelves so I love it
I love this style of video! Want to hear all the stories, and all the details on the assignments
Loved hearing about the individual assignments! Regular updates/more please hehe. I loved this whole video so much :)
Also rambly videos are my favourite videos, the more stories the better hehe
listening to you just talk has being my biggest support to cope with loneliness and my anxiety so it would mean the world to me if you made more videos like this where you just talk us as if we've been friends all along 💕 Love you JADE ❤💕
‘there’s tea’ SPILL! IT! okay sorry no pressure tell us when ur ready but like 🥺🥺pls
Jade you are such an inspiration to so many people💞💞
yasss new video, i love watching your videos because you are so positive
Love your rambling xx Tell us your stories - it’s fascinating
nearly 30 minutes of Jade? let me grab my snacks💖
Yes, I'd love to hear more about your assignments. Great video❤
I would love to hear more about your classes and what you're doing in them. Your papers you've written sound so interesting!
Would love to hear more about assignments and relationship tea!! Love you jade 💕
it’s so inspiring seeing other people going to colleges with such amazing opportunities :)
I love you Jade ❤️ :)
Yesss ! We would love to hear you ramble a lot moree !
Definitly want to know more about your assignments, sooooooo interesting ! I had no Idea about top uni when younger, now going to public uni I really enjoy hearing your experience - super inspiring :-))!
You look like you're really grounding and centering into yourself within such a rich and dynamic environment. Thank you for sharing this unique journey with us
Thank you for this! 🌻
yes an other chatty video!!!!!!!!!!!! you're the best. love you
I love love love rambly videos! I'd def watch you tell more stories!!
I am loving this, love the realness
am on a biology degree at a top UK uni and the assignment really doesn’t seem that different lol except some of the hypothesis part which just seems useless (?) critical thinking within a scientific field is great but in order to study that you need a great basis in the sciences
while you're In the Bay Area I highly recommend driving north along the coast!! there are so many beautiful places such as point bonita lighthouse, pointe Reyes, the muir headlands etc
i cant believe i watched all 26 mins of this, how can you be so entertaining!!
Loooooved this video so much! Would adore a stories type video❤️
YES PLEASE SHARE MORE STORIES!!!!!
Ooh I’d love to here more about your specific assisngments! Especially complex systems 🤩
Hi Jade, I am 32 years old but I love your YT channel. You are such a nice, smart, modest and kind young person who makes me believe in the future generation. Please keep spreading all those great values towards young people. My respect and hugs for you!
Loved this chat-video!!! We want more!
im so happy for you!! ily have an amazing day
definitely would love a rambly video with stories!!!
Nervous incoming uni freshman here...about to start university and I can not tell you how comforting your videos are. Your realness and vulnerablity is so admirable^^ Thank you :))
Could you please make a video on how you navigated all the initial embarrassing and akward and not-so glamorous parts of living someplace new and meeting new people and setting up a completely new life, basically? Thank you immensely and you, truly, are one of the most honest and beautifully humane people I know.
I’m willing to hear more about your assignments and all that stories!! These sit down and talk videos are amazing. You should start a podcast ;)
Minerva sounds tough, but it’s pretty similar to my state university. Test at the beginning of class or handing in a 1-2 page reading response, essays, quizzes, presentations, group works, etc during the semester and the final exams and papers at the end. I mean it’s just uni, it should be like your full time job and not like high school...
This was a really interesting video! I always look forward to your uploads ❤️🤩
thank you for this video. personally i like videos like this (it’s actually like a video call) and this whole Minerva thing has inspired me to apply to exchange program & I’m going to Mexico in 2 months. Send love from Russia❤️
I really appreciate your comments on living in a less "pretty area" in SF, the gentrification, the wealth gap in this city. I just finished sophomore year (Seoul and Hyderabad were awesome, learned so much career-wise), but looking back, i'd say the time in SF has taught me so much about my privilege. I only know about you now as I search for videos about SF in lock down haha! Hope you all have a wonderful year next year! Thanks for sharing more of Minerva to people! People will always have different opinions, but what you feel and learn through this experience is what matters :)
Hi jade I’ve missed you xx so glad your loving Minerva life ♥️😁
Nothing better than listening to this while studying for finals. Also...I wanna know everything!! Tell us all about the work it’s super interesting:)
