*spicy music*
(oooh look at that nice aesthetic pour)
ooOW that's hoT *cough*
Hello friends! and welcome to my last week of college ~ever~
um yES that's fucking crazy to say
but I am graduating a year and a quarter early
I'm graduating total in like around two and a half years
and this week is my last week
sO I thought I would vlog it for you guys because it's my last chance ever to be a #relatable 20 year old, I guess
*sips tea* mmMM
i always feel like i forget to introduce myself cause i assume that like evERYBODY has watched my entire
life history on the internet
bUT my name is Ashley, i go to UCLA and i'm a film student
i am a screenwriting concentration so one of the big things i'm doing this quarter is
finishing up my firST EVER ~screenplay~
my other courses are history of European cinema, which is a requirement for my major
and symposium, which i don't have this week but it's like this personalized capstone course
to wrap up my studies at UCLA
it's with a digital media professor who's like 60 years old
but he's sO nice about my youtube channel
so steve, if you're watching this, you're a homie
my main goals are to film and edit a youtube video that i post on thursday
and to study for my European cinema final, which is also thursday morning
i also later have a finished screenplay, an adaption report on 12 angry men
a 7 page research paper, and a presentation on the social media industry due
bUT!
those are due next week so we're just not going to think about them right now
so hopefully i'll be able to show you guys a little bit of
~time management~, organization, UCLA stuff, film school stuff
and just being a ~youtuber~
*insert cute ashley content here*
god that's gross
yEAH!! let's get started!
*cute birdy tweet sound*
hey guys! it's sunday and this is probably gonna be
one of the most boring days of my entire life
i'm literally just sitting at this desk studying for my final the entire day
so if you want like exciting-ish college things, like skip to the later days in this vlog
but today is the reality of what college is :')
i feel like college vloggers are always going to parties and game days and fun shit like that
but like, bro you gotta get those ~grades~ too
yoU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, C's get degrees but A's get to die early from stress-related complications
so today, i'm studying for my history of European cinema class
honestly dudes, i hate this class it is a required course for my major though
you like when you graduate high school and you think that you're never going to have to
take a class that you don't like again
and then you get to college and you realize that's like 90% of what college is
yeAH
sO i thought i would show you guys a little bit of my ~study method~
so we have a study guide for the class
which contains about 40 terms
and like 20 study questions
so i'm writing those all out on a notebook
now, i like to write things out on physical paper because for me there's something
about the physical sensation of writing out the words and the extra time that it takes
and like that muscle to brain connection?? i don't really know
that just helps me remember stuff so much better than if i typed it out
then with those terms in mind, i'm going through all of the course readings
i have an ipad to do all of my handwritten titles for this channel
but obviously, like not everybody has that
so if you don't have this, i would actually reccomend printing out your readings
as ecologically horrible as that is
there's something about physically highlighting your work that makes it
so much easier to remember
as i read through, i'm looking for those key terms and answers to my study guide questions
and i'm also highlighting each article or each main concept in a different color
since there are about 12 different academic papers for this class
it's a lot of information to keep track, so having those different colors
helps me keep straight in my mind
which concepts come from which author
um and yeAH! that'll be my entire Sunday :')
so i'll just see you guys tomorrow
*adorable finger guns pew pew*
Monday is pretty much one of my lightest class days
so that makes it also my youtube filming day
so right now it's around 8 AM
i meant to wake up a little bit earlier but y'know
you know how it be sometimes
is that still a meme??? i don't know
*some more spicy music*
so for my video, i had to go and buy a lot of cereal from the grocery store
so here's just some footage of me being a fucking awkward bean trying to avoid eye contact with grocery store employees
hey guys, i just finished filming my video
it is just past 3 right now, so i'm gonna spend about half an hour editing my footage
and then head off to class
for those of you who don't know, i actually moved into my lovely new aparment
a little bit before i graduated college so i've been commuting for the past like
week/week and a half, but overall it's not been too long and
it's been really nice to live by myself and without roommates and pay a reasonable price for rent ("resonable")
because rent in my college town is super super fucking expensive
alright so i changed for class
normally, i don't dress up that much for class but i think i'm gonna take photos
after class to get that ~insta pic~
so here is my outfit
my dress if from Motel Rocks
my blazer is from Amanda Steel's "Steel" collection
and my boots are from Urban Outfitters
and then i'm also gonna bring these big, chunky unif boots
'cause i feel like they might look a little better with the outfit
but these are much more walkable for my way to class
so i'm already really late so i'm just gonna drive to class now! see you guys soon bye
♪ my life is just a giant pile of boxes ♪
*you guessed it, spicy music*
10 minutes late as always
i didn't film my class because that would be rude and weird
but here are the notes that i took, i actually took quite thorough notes today
normally i doze off at least a little bit in lecture
but i try to pay attention in section because it's like a really distilled version of what we learned in lecture anyway
and the final is this week so it's like about time that i got caught up on class
*nice lil mix of music and audiobook*
so i ended up coming back to around Fairfax to take photos
*cute little foot kick*
i got my chunky boots on
and i loaded my new flash onto my camera
my camera doesn't come in with a built-in flash
but i put this red filter attachment on it so hopefully it's going to give me like a
really cool red glow to the photos that will match my dress
i don't know, we'll see
right now i'm in this like random alley there really isn't any through traffic
so hopefully i'm not going to blind anybody with my flash
and i can shoot safely
this is the glamor of being an influencer, guys
i got my camera set up on a trash bin on my bendy tripod with my colorful flash :)
alright let's take some photos
the rest of the night will probably be some studying for my upcoming final
which i really really need to grind on
and edit the video that i filmed today
*more bird tweets*
good morning! it is Tuesday and i am still living inside a pile of cereal
have not cleaned up a thing since yesterday
here is the outfit today! i was feeling fucking extra as you can tell
i just like woke up feeling girly so i rolled with it
this dress is from Urban Outfitters
i dressed it down with some Doctor Martins
and then I'm wearing these hairclips that i haven't been able to stop wearing
i am all about the hairclip trend
*casually picks up Kanken backpack*
i also wanted to talk about how i've been thinking about how to continue my education and like
brain development after i graduate
i don't want all the time that i used to spend in class just turning into like Netflix brain mush time
and i think i kind of have it figured out 'cause in the past two weeks
i have started listening to a lot of audio books like 1 to 2 per week
which makes me feel really good because i have not read a physical book
in a very very long time
i promise this section is not sponsored by audible so you can unclench your butthole now
but recently i've been listening to a lot of books by college professors
and by sociologists and psychologists
2 recommendations that i have are "Digital Minimalism" by Cal Newport
and the book i'm reading right now is called "Irresistible" and it's about
how technology is designed to be addictive
i've realized this past Winter break when i didn't have school for a month
that i do really get sad when i'm not exposed to like new ideas and have any type of mental stimulation
outside of youtube and the internet that's just like not a good way for me to live
especially because i work on social media, i don't want to be consumed by social media thoughts 24/7
um anyways i'm about to park now thanks for coming to my TED talk
*aesthetic footage and good music plays*
hey guys so we're on break from class right now
i just ran to the student's store and got my last fucking blue book ever
it's literally just an empty notebook of paper
but you need it to take all of your written final and midterm exams (*shudders*)
for my midterm for this class, i filled up this entire notebook
which i think is like 20 pages worth of paper
hopefully my hand won't die on the final, but we'll see
anyways, it feels good that this is the last one i'm so over these fucking exams
also can we just talk about how beautiful the campus is right now??
like this is honestly the prettiest i've ever seen UCLA
college in the Winter gets a little bit depressing because by the time i get out of class, it's dark
