spicy mustard. solid choice.
I'm always down for a "how to read more" and "balancing your life" video!!
Hi Regan. I really like hearing when you talk authentically in this video. There seems to be a trend on booktube to exude an exaggerated enthusiasm that often includes yelling. I love the authentic vibe toward the end of the video when you’re really talking as you. ❤️
It would definitely be cool to see how you balance being busy with still reading. I've been dealing with that a lot recently, but I'm not doing it particularly well in all honesty.
Regan I just want to say that I think you've done brilliantly! Like you said, moving across the country to start a 9-5 advertising job where you don't know a whole lot of people, straight after uni is a massive life step! And you've managed it gracefully and seemingly effortlessly in your videos anyway. You're a strong gal! Don't ever be afraid to take a break for yourself if you need it though, gotta put yourself first girl!
Thank you! That means a lot
Anytime gal!
I can really respect how far you’ve come with your job, moving, youtube (adult life). Keep it going! You’re doing great and I am really happy for you
Chicago is really nice in the summer we get those few 100+ days but otherwise it’s pretty much in the 80s plus that lake breeze makes it feel even nicer 👌🏼
"A BIT LIKE JENGA, BUT WITH YOUR LIFE"
Juggling everything in life is so overwhelming! We are always expected for stuff not to phase us but at the end of the day, even normal day-to-day to do lists can really stress us out! And you not only have a full time job, you are SO active on TH-cam! I have a lot of respect for people like you as I recently started a channel, and when you want your material to be of a good quality, it is so time consuming and requires a lot of commitment! Still, I'm always reminding myself to take care of me and put me first - and you should to! Just wanted to say, you have been a big inspiration for me to start my own channel, as I have been watching yours for a few years. Happy reading x
I would love for you to make a video about reading on a busy schedule. Im a full time college student while working and studying ect. During winter break i was reading 24/7. But then everything started and i feel i never have time. So reading on a busy schedule video would be amazing!! ❤❤
Loved this video!
Your time management skills just show how motivated and persistent you are ;)
Excellent work, Regan!
I super appreciate the honesty in this video ❤️
Moving across the county and starting a new job is absolutely stressful! In more ways that I anticipated, for sure! Glad to hear your stress is hopefully calming down a bit - good luck!
I’m so happy you have worked through your stress and that you have continued your channel! You’re one of my favorite youtubers! ❤️
YES! I'd rather be cold for a while than hot for even one second!!!! Glad you're adjusting and less anxious now :)
So glad you're doing well now, Reagan! And this video was wonderful; authenticity is always appreciated.
So happy to hear that you are doing better! And I would be really interested to see how you arrange your time. Cuz being busy problems..
you're doing so well Reagan!!!
You're right, that kind of move is a LOT lol! It can get really overwhelming while you try to figure out a new schedule and balance for work, life, reading, youtube, etc. I'm glad things are getting better for you now. :)
sending you good calm vibes 💞
Really love how real you are! While I’m in college out west, my parents just moved to Chicago and I might be there over the summer and I love seeing your life in the city on instagram!
So glad to hear that everything is better now with stress, anxiety and schedule. Plus you love your job, your in an amazing apartment with Clay, your TH-cam channel is doing REALLY great (my personal favorite TH-cam channel!) Hope everything goes well from now on as well! Keep smiling, entertaining and doing what you love! And yes do the video about scheduling, reading and balance in everyday life! 😍
AAAAAAAAAAA I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!!!!! A REALLY NEEDED VIDEO I THINK haha LOVED GETTING TO KNOW YOU BETTER. feels like we're closer! and im really happy for you regan! really. you are great and such a hard working woman. you deserve only the best! if youre going through a stressed out/anxious time just et us know. we wont be hard on you! well understand and want whats best for you xxx
Thank you so much, Regan. Sometimes we forget how busy booktubers are. All the more impressive that you could keep reading and posting videos for us. We appreciate you!!
Thanks for the advice Reagan! This was very helpful!
I’m glad you’re holding yourself up pretty well! I hope you’re doing ok now and don’t feel stressed about making videos! Your health comes first 😊😊
Yes!! Please do videos on how you manage everything!
awww reagan!! i loved this video it was so organic and wholesome to watch :) please dont be so hard on yourself, trust me i understand the boat you're in because same lol, but please remember to be mindful of yourself and how wonderful just doing ur thing!! ok ok love u lots dont forget 2 be kind to urself girlfran
I'm so sorry you've been feeling so stressed and anxious the past few months! I'm really glad you're feeling better now :). This was a very interesting video! Spicy mustard, what a great choice! I would love to see a video on balancing different important aspects of life (work, reading, TH-cam).
Glad you’re feeling better 😊
You’ve always struck me as such an autumnal clothes person 😂 glad you got to enjoy an actual autumn and I’m glad you’re enjoying Chicago 💖
I moved to a big city right after high school and started a full time job at a huge company. I understand the stress you’re going through. Just keep pushing and you’ll find balance once you get really settled. 😊
I graduated in May too and am in the same stage of life as you and had soooo much anxiety after starting my full time job/moving/starting my MBA that I was making my self sick, but I finally got adjusted in December as well and I'm glad you did too! Keep up the awesome videos. P. S. I love your fashion sense/style
Regan I currently work full time and moved to a new city 2 years for that job so I can really relate. I have been watching your videos for well over 3 years now. Since you have started working full time I've been amazed at how much you still read and make videos. You are an amazing person and thank you for doing the videos. I really enjoy them and have loved all your book recommendations.
This was a good video :) I think for anyone after college/uni going straight into a job, or even anyone getting a new job and having a lot of changes happen at once it’s very stressful and tiring even if everything that’s happening is good. When I started my new job after uni I was so tired and felt like a zombie at weekends but after a couple of months I got the work life balance to a good level and it made me enjoy my work a lot more :)
I would definitely love a video of you talking about balance with the different things you do because it is something that I personally struggle with. I would love to know what your advice is.
Im so glad that someone else has done a double major! Im studying for dual degrees simultaneously; Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Visual Art, and a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in Classical Studies. I always get asked so many questions when people find out im studying for two degrees! It is so nice knowing that I am not the only one who has done it!
Omg as a born and raised Floridian that now lives in southern Wisconsin (5 years now), I totally get your stance on winter/summer up north. I HATE the heat and humidity and LOVE snow. I always say you can add layers but you can only take so many off. 😂It's so nice to actually have seasons. Fall and spring are so much prettier up here whereas Florida is constantly the same. Also, you're living my dream living in Chicago. It's my favorite city! ❤️ keep doing you girl 👍
interested in the video about balancing things, yes!
I totally feel you on feeling stressed, this has probably been my most stressful year. I moved from SF to LA right after undergrad and started grad school. Trying to make new friends, do grad school, work, and have free time has been such a struggle. I’m done with grad school in June and I’m so looking forward to just working, which is something I never thought I would say :P
Such great advice! You should definitely do a video on balancing life with reading!
I always love your Q&A's!!
I was just watching your older videos!
Love watching your videos and all the books you talk about
Hey Regan, as always, love your videos! I was wondering if you could do a video over college tips, your college experience, and how you balanced your school work with reading.
Thank you!
I know everyone is saying this as well but I can totally relate right now. Just moved from Florida to Atlanta this summer and am now realizing I might have been struggling with anxiety for the past few years. I'm super hard on myself too. Right now I'm trying to find a job, but no idea what exactly I want to do with my major... and I feel anxiety about not having a full time job but also my anxiety is preventing me from chasing opportunities. But at the same time, I'm so happy to be here and the weather is 💯!!!! Hooray for seasons!!!!!
All of the heart emojis for your work-life balance/anxiety struggles. I can totally relate, and I'm sending you all the best vibes!
So glad you are doing well overall! I’m in NYC and I luv walking everywhere and not needing to have a car (and car payment).
Love your channel, can't wait to hear what you've read lately!
LOVED this video !!! i love all your q and a’s SO much! i was also wondering where you got your phone case from? so simple and cute 😍
MY FAVORITE TH-camR
As a fellow Texan who moved to a colder east coast climate, I agree the trade off is definitely worth it. Plus winter clothes are so cute and I enjoy actually enjoy wearing them.
Christina Porras the east coast isn’t cold but nice try
I'm actually early for one of your videos! Quite shocking because we're like 12 hours apart. I graduated in May 2017 (engineering) and I'm working now. The hardest part for me was the travel - I had a 4 hour commute every day. So even though my home and my workplace are in the same city, I decided to move closer to work since I was wearing myself thin and it was beginning to affect my health. I definitely get the anxiety and stress that comes with juggling a job that you love with your other passions. I (obviously) also love books and I'm a book blogger. It made me really sad to take a break for a month and a half when my workload increased and I didn't have the time to fit these two things in my schedule. After moving I think I'm going to have a lot more time to balance these things. Your video really resonated with me because I was in the same place and now I'm much better. I'd definitely be interested in a video about how to manage time better and how to read even with a busy schedule. I hope you continue to strike that balance between work and the rest of your life. Have a great day! ❤
I think a video about tips for reading with a busy schedule would be helpful to me and to many others!
I would love a video about managing all the stuff you do! That would be so helpful 😅
yes pls do that video about balancing things!!! i admire you for that!!
Girl yessss, I grew up in Chicago and moved to Alabama for work, and THE SUMMERS KILL ME, I’d take the freezing weather and snow til March over any summer down here.
I was waiting for this! 💞
You've done really well. I would have never known. I actually admired you and had the thought: Wow, she's very chill and calm and collected during all of these transitions. I'd be freaked. It probably helps that you have your boyfriend. But you got the dream: A great job in a great city right out of college. I wish I were so lucky. Keep up the good work!
Helloo!!!
I loved this video because I could actually relate to some topics. Such as being stressed daily because of the work overdose with school.
If you could do a tips of how to make time for reading with a busy schedule, it would be really awesome!!
Keep up the fantastic work and cute videos Regan!❤️
I've been stressed as well because I've moved out of my childhood home and started in new school. Much love ❤️
Yes please make the other video!
Great video! I'd defenitely like a video on time management and reading!
I will definitely like you to make a video about how to balance things... And just some life/reading tips in general! Cool Video by the way! Cheers! 😊👍💗
I loved hearing about your experience in Chicago. I love that city and want to move there someday
Hej Regan :) I'm a Polish subscriber and I just wanted to tell you that few days ago I bought the Polish edition of This Savage Song and on this thing that is a part of the cover and you can use as a bookmark (sorry I don't know the word in English - nevermind), so on this part your youtube name was mentioned with a few other youtubers as a booktuber who recommends the book :) I hope it cheers you up a little bit ;)
Yes please do a video on how to manage everything as sometimes I find it all quite overbearing. I'm currently studying Law in my first year, trying to read as much as I can and put out content every week on my channel. I can't believe you put out three videos a week! I can barely do one :)
I'm glad you are liking Chicago and I love the colder months much more to heat too :D
Chicago is my favorite city I've ever visited. I live pretty close and love to visit as often as I can. Chicago has such a unique atmosphere and culture.
Also, summer in Chicago is lovely because you are never outside for too long without A/C. Also, visiting Lake Michigan is such a great day trip
My sister lives there and I'm jealous!
I would love the weather. I live down in Texas so I understand the heat thing, and I love winter, but rarely get it.
So happy that you are enjoying Chicago! The summers are so fun because of the insane amount of festivals around the city. I would be interested in a how to fit more reading in on a busy schedule vid. I have just been audio booking like crazy during my commute because I have don't have as much time to pick up a book as before. I hope you enjoy this warm weekend in Chicago!
MsRaindropps I'd be interested too!!
yes please make a video on how to read when you're busy! i'm in grad school to be a physical therapist and it feels like i have no free time to read because i'm studying or in class all the time and my reading life is suffering despite my best efforts
I would love the video about balancing everything. Please do that! :)
I just picked Computer Science as my major because I knew I was good with computers. I had know idea what else I would study. Three weeks into University I knew I was at the right place. Right now I only have thesis to complete and I have amazing job in my field. Don't regret a thing
That outfit is so cutee💓
@peruseproject you look amazing!
I feel the exact same way about cold weather over Texas heat. I love Texas, but I'd much rather deal with the cold.
I loved this video and I would like to know how to read on a busy schedule
I am so glad you are loving Chicago thus far and handling the stress of everything so well! I love the PNW! Seattle and Portland are amazing! Will you be doing a Chicago meet up anytime soon? Would love to meet you and talk!
I would love a video about balancing a busy schedule because I am currently struggling with that!
Haha! I’m from Seattle and I’ve always wanted to visit Chicago I think I’m going over memorial weekend. And you should definitely come to Seattle. Pro tip from this Seattle Native: probably some of the best places aren’t within city limits. You can be in the mountains within about an hour or two and you can be on the coast in about 2 hours or so. It’s what I love the most about living here. And the first Saturday of every month in issaquah we have a Pacific Northwest pug meetup....60+ pugs and a bunch of Washingtonians and Issaquah is kinda the gateway to the cascade mountain range plus it’s super cute. So yes obviously I’m sold on you traveling here. 😂😂
I hope the stress and anxiety is gone soon!!!
YAS!!!! I moved from Florida to Missouri and I would rather have snow than a Florida "summer"
If you go to the pacific northwest, stop by at Boise, ID! Its along the way to portland and very pretty!
Seattle is great, and I’m sure us Seattle fans would be able to give some good recommendations of places/restaurants to visit 😊 In the fall/winter, Seattle has a misty, ethereal feel, and in the summer it’s absolutely beautiful (very little rain, and temp usually about 80F no humidity). I hope you can visit!!
I am a small TH-camr that also works full time. I have two channels that I have to keep up with (Japanoblog and Book Dragons), and I understand what you are saying about feeling like you are working all the time. Once you get through the major hiccups, things will run smoother.
I would love to know how you balance books, other hobbies and work. I need tips for when I go back to uni :D
Yesss! please do a how-to balances your life because girl im struggling lol
I’d love a video about balancing a busy schedule with reading. I’m about to start my third year of university and just don’t have time to read and I’d love the get some tips for balancing life and school. So glad to hear you’re less stressed and settled! God bless your year!!
I feel the same way about the heat. I live in Florida and everyone tells me that it's better to live somewhere hot than cold, but I honestly prefer the cold to the heat and I felt like such a weirdo.
If you like seafood try Shaw’s!!! They’re a bit pricey, but their oyster bar is great and their grilled calamari is to die for.
Spicy mustard...best explanation ever lol
If you do make your way up here to the Pacific Northwest, I would go to Portland over Seattle honestly. Seattle isn't bad, as a Washingtonian I've been there many times, but I feel like you would enjoy Portland way more than Seattle. Portland has a bookstore named Powell's which is absolutely massive and totally worth going to, plus Voodoo Doughnuts xD. Portland just seems to have more and seems to be better suited for visitors than Seattle. Either way, be prepared for rain unless you come in July or August, then you'd get to experience our nice weather haha.
I'm from Portland so come here and go to Powells!!
Absolutely understand you. I started working as a buyer September 2017 and this field is super super interesting. : )
Also, Japan is great choice. I'm sure you would be able to go there sooner or later. ^^
You should totally make a trip to the PNW! I am from Portland, and the NW is definitely a great area to check out. I would recommend going in the summer or early fall. Also, you probably already know but if you go to Portland go to POWELL'S CITY OF BOOKS. It is the largest bookstore in the world, and my second home.
Texas is hot AF!!!! LOL 80 degrees is a nice cool day!
Doin office things 😂 ME!!! such adulting!
I relate to that so much! I have my own news website. I want to update every day (because it wouldn't be a news website if I didn't, right?), but I'm doing everything on my own, so combining it with my job is near impossible. Next to that I want to finish my film script, which I never have time for, so I'm always beating myself up for not doing well enough at any of my aspirations. But in order for me to meet my expectations, I'd have to work like 70+ hours a week, and then I'd probably still be disappointed in what I bring to the table.
Also, isn't mustard spicy by default?
I LOVE YOU
🤗 I’m so happy to know your here in CHICAGO something I didn’t knw!! WELCOME TO THE WINDY CITY! I grew up and live here in Chicago. I’ve lived in Lakeview, Uptown and in Albany Park, currently living in West Humboldt Park. And ur so right about the weather! I personally like our winter over summer. I hate humidity. And the food is 👍🏻 great. I became vegetarian like 2 years ago but still so many options. Glad you made this video, looking forward to more of ur reviews!! Take Care...
Early!
