Moving Across Cities for a Postdoc | New Flat, Furniture, Gym, Struggles, PhD Thesis & Journalling

- Just moved across cities for the next step in my academic career: a postdoc research position at the University of Southampton. These first few days have been... complicated. I've faced some struggles with the property, and some self-inflicted ones. Nevertheless, I am doing my best to stay on the routine I know and love - tasty food, good mental health, good workouts, and consistent work.
What do you think of the new place? I hope to make it a home over upcoming months. A place where I can truly feel at peace.
This entry marks the start of a series in this channel: 20's Journal. This move has been a big page turn in my life, and I wish to share this story with you. I hope it helps you in your personal journey, too 🤍

I get (most of) my music from Epidemic Sound: share.epidemicsound.com/yq579k
recently found your channel and so far I have been really enjoying your content! 🍀 and I prefer the silent shots over music! it’s calming 🙂
Happy to hear that, I also prefer having full silence over music! I will try out something different for the gym sections in the next one to make them calmer!
2:50 Oh my god! You will not believe it. I just got locked out of my apartment today because I went to help the delivery guy, and I am on the 6th floor, so climbing through the balcony door was a big NO. I was panicking because I shifted here 2 weeks ago, and my phone was also inside. So I went to my neighbor, hoping that they were home. I knocked, they opened the door, and I asked them if they happened to have the owner's phone number. Fortunately, they had, and I called her. I apologized for disturbing her on a workday, but she calmed me down and said, " Don't worry, I'll be there; she lives like 1.5 hrs away. I returned the phone to the neighbor, saying she was coming in an hour or so. I'll wait here on the stairs. She was so lovely she invited me in till the owner arrived. Finally, I am in my apartment, lying in my bed. When you are alone, things become more panicky.
We are cursed ahahah I am very happy you manage to get back to your home in the end. It's what we get for being nice and trying to help the delivery staff ahahah. Sounds like you have an amazing neighbour tho, ended up being a good afternoon in the end, ay? Also props to your landlady for driving all the way to you, it matters a lot that they care for us tenants
what a comforting vlog
Thank you 🤍 I’m happy you enjoyed it
Wishing you the best in your new life chapter, happy to see your calm videos again and again❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so so much 🤍 bumpy first days but more calm days (and vlogs) ahead! Thank you for watching and supporting 🙏
I'm a newer subscriber and have been waiting for this video! I loved the vlog & congratulations - DOCTOR!! - on your postdoc position!
Hey hey, hold the champagne, I still I have a thesis to finish and defend! But soon DOCTOR Bruno will be born 🙏
Thank you for the support and watching, means the world to me 🤍
Moving to a new place is always stressful hahaha. Hope you have a great time in this new chapter of your life!
Absolutely, it definitely a ... process ahahah. Thank you, I am quite excited about being out of student accommodation! 🙌
Your intros are extremely relaxing
Glad the calm vibes come across. Thank you and I'll keep on improving them
Good to see ur settling in bruva
Yes… settling in locked outside is certainly a vibe 😅😂
Silent section are awesome
Glad to hear that. I’m always afraid they get boring 😅
I discovered your channel recently. I’ve watched all your videos since then. You are impressive and inspiring ❤ I hope everything will be fine for you.
Welcome aboard and thank you for watching - I truly hope you’ve enjoyed the little vlogs! The support means everything to me. Wishing you the best as well 🤍
Only found your channel recently and couldn’t wait for a new vlog so was pumped to see this today 😊 I feel like you’ve not really lived in the UK until you’ve been locked out of your own apartment…welcome to the club 😅
Thank you tons for following the storyline, I hope it's been worth the wait! Ahahah really? Is it a common occurrence here? Maybe I can get my citizenship fast tracked now 😂
@@BrunoArcanjo I don't know if it's common but I've only ever experienced people getting locked out here. Perhaps everywhere else I've lived isn't advanced enough for self-locking doors haha
Wishing you all the best in this new chapter!!! Excited for all the upcoming vlogs
Thank you so much! Glad to see you’re back on TH-cam too 🤍
Waiting for this vlog, now it us time 😊
Ahahah I hope it was worth the wait! 🙏😊
loving the vlogs mate!!! keep it up
Happy to hear that! Wouldn’t be doing it without your support 💪
I'm here again brother Bruno. It's nice. The content is always purposeful and motivational.
I hope brother you can also make videos like "study with me".
Thank you for being here again, I'm glad you enjoy the content and your support is invaluable 🤍 I am thinking of doing some livestreams of studies/work with me. What do you think?
@@BrunoArcanjo That's a clever idea bro. I am looking forward for your schedule. It's really a big big help for me because I am also preparing for my comprehensive exam. I am very excited!🥰🙂
I love your vlogs 🙌🏾 have you thought about doing study/work with me style videos.
Thank you for the support, glad you enjoy them 🤍 another viewer suggested the same, I’m thinking of doing some study with me live streams. What do you think? 😊
Absolutely, live streams are a fantastic idea! 😎 You can even record them and share them later.
Happy to see you in a new video. How are you? Honestly, today's video is wonderful and simple, and your talking about your life in all sincerity without making anything beautiful makes us realize that we are all human beings who go through our progress and challenges. You have a special touch and talent for photography and sending a very special message to the viewer . Not everything changes one step at a time. Change one thing at a time. But don't focus on things. Set big, irrational goals. But they became simple and rational steps. Your skin looks tired, you should moisturize it well or use a serum that contains essential moisturizing ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid. I have some questions What type of oil do you use in cooking? Can I have your breakfast recipe? What app do you use to edit your videos? Thank you. good luck
Happy to see you here again! I am doing better now, these first few days have definitely been stressful, thus the tired skin you mentioned. I think I need some better sleep to get back to glowing skin territory ahahah. What about you, how are you? And absolutely, it's about taking it one step at a time, a bit everyday goes a long way. These videos are made that way, so is my thesis, and so will this become a homey place bit by bit.
Regarding your questions:
- I use olive oil but I use those sprays so I get a minimal amount of it. I prefer getting my fats from avocados and salmon
- do you mean my pre-gym meal? (30g protein powder, 100g low fat greek yogurt, 20g raw cocoa powder, 40g oats, 40g wheat bites, 1 medium banana)
- I use da Vinci resolve to edit my videos. The free version is very good but I do have the paid version as I edit 6k into 4k footage
@@BrunoArcanjo I'm fine, thanks for the answer
I mean lunch
As for your skin, as you said, it is the result of anxiety and fatigue, and compensate for that with regular sleep, which is very important for the skin and of the body , as well as adequate hydration, which benefits you for glowing.
I have another question if you don't mind
How many meals do you eat a day?
What will you be doing your post doc in ?
I’ll be working on developing smart electrical vehicle charging, preparing for mass adoption of EVs here in the UK 😊
What camera u use
Lumix s5ii
Loving the combination of silence and music🫶✨️✨️ Already looking forward to your next video😍
Thank you very much for your support, I am glad you enjoy the vibes 🤍
