It's so empty...
Hey Guys, I'm Loretta and welcome to my channel KemushiChan!
Today I'm in my empty, barren room
to share a confession!
I'm Loretta, a girl from the U.S.A
and I'm a graduate student here in Japan!
At the beginning of 2017 I made a video
about the 7 study habits I was going to QUIT in 2017
and specifically you MAY remember me saying:
"I am also guilty of CRAMMING!"
Cramming do not cram! Study a little bit every day.
I was going to stop cramming and finally get some sleep!
But in reality???
Oh I just remembered I have a presentation tomorrow!
Eh.. I'll just do it in the morning!!
I have been doing exactly the one thing
that I told you guys NOT to do!
I am completely guilty of cramming
not sleeping, and not taking care of myself!
The thing is, I have a very personal story for you guys
that I HAVEN't shared becuase I've been embarassed!
Okay, here's the truth!
The JLPT, the Japanese Language Proficiency Test
There's a top-tier level called the n1 which is like the maximum level
This is what can get you jobs in Japan
and proves that you hit the top most mark.
The truth is.. I failed!!
I did NOT pass the N1
and to this day it kind of haunts me because
I missed the mark by 3 itsy bitsy points
over STUPID mistakes!
The secions I NORMALLY do well on (reading and listening sections)
I was so slow and sluggish
that I ran out of time and didn't answer all the questions
as for the listening section,
it started playing, and I don''t know what happened,
but I just completely... spaced out!
Nothing! I did not hear a single thing!
Then suddenly it's like: "Select your answer: A, B C or D"
meanwhile I'm like - wait WHAT was the question?!
Meanwhile the next question already started
and that kept happening over and over again!
I just completely FAILED
I don't want to talk about it.. how embarassing!
So I have to redo that!
There are so many times
Where I missed the mark or didn't do my best
or even if I got a good grade at the end of the semester
With thins that were really important to me
I just failed because I simply hadn't slept
or a mental mess and hadn't taken care of myself!
I'm gonna get sharper and quicker
And I'm gonna get back to level of performance that
I know I'm capable of if I just had normal regular sleep
So that's why I'm just so excited to make this video
because well, today's video is actually sponsored
by a company that saw that I'm studying
and asked if I wanted to get some better sleep!
and test out a bed and see if that helped out at all!
There's an Australian company called Koala.
They make these like innovative
You jump on it, and your wine glass doesn't tip over, don't disturb your neighbors, sleep miracle beds,
OBVIOUSLY I'm not going to pass that up!
The other day I was doing some Christmas shopping
But when I came back there was a truck outside
and it was Koala!!!
Sound like a truck is outside...
It's here???
Or not???
I have been staring at it all day
and I'm so excited to finally get in there!
Let's do it!
It even comes with a Koala!
It's alive!!!
It's soooo cozzzyyy!
I don't think I'll be getting up for a while!
It feels like cool to the back, not like not cold
but nice and like... refreshing almost!
Hear that??
You're supposed to be able to jump on one end without disturbing the other end
but I want to see if that's really true
I can't believe that that would actually happen...
Let's give it a test!
Alright, so here's the wineglass.
I'll put it right there where you can see it
It's moving a little bit, but like
Honestly, it seems pretty like sturdy!
This might actually work!
PLEASE DON'T SPILL!!!
Alright, this is the last time you ever saw it!
A dry bed!!
I'm going to jump!
THREE
TWO
One!!!!
Wait... seriously?!
Okay, keep a close eye on it!
Are you kidding me with this?!
Oh my gosh!!
It's real water and it didn't spill!
Dude, this is the real deal!
They weren't joking, it does not move at all!
*chokes*
I was jumping all OVER that bed!
Yeah, so just like right off the bat.
The bed is just---- I love it!!
I didn't expect it to be this comfortable,
and I didn't expect it to actually beat the wine test!
That's ridiculous!!
It's comfortable, it's firm
But it has this like squishiness top to it
that grabs and pulls you in and never lets you go!
I'll never be on time to anything after this
I'll just be in bed all day!
For me, personally, being here in Japan
I never bought something as big as a bed before
because like....what if it doesn't work?
Can you even like throw it away or return it?
But when Koala asked me if I wanted to test out this bed
they pointed out that anyone who buys this bed
you have a 120-day...or NIGHT trial, I should say
to make sure that you actually do like it
The fact that it comes in this box
I thought it wouldn't fit the door or break something
but it's not that difficult to carry
and you can get it around sharp corners if you have a staircase
And Japan is notoriously MOIST and mold prone
which is another reason I never bought a big bed
I'm just glad that they pointed out it's mold resistant
being mold resistant is a huge plus for me
When I was first hearing about Koala
They sent this list of perks and really good points
The beds are 100% recyclable
with the trash situation in Japan that's a huge plus
it's also vegan and 100% animal cruelty free
So much so that, for every bed that is purchased
A portion of it in Japan goes to the WWF and
Also to their koala sanctuary
where they're taking care of Koala's
Not this guy, though! He's mine!
I've never seen a bed that acts like this before
and it's JUST in time too because
I have a new semester coming up
and I have to start my graduate thesis in 2 weeks!!
So thank you so much to koala for sending me
the best present ever
I can finally start getting some sleep!
And ...yuugen jikkou!
I can finally start practicing what I preach
and finally get some good sleep and life balance!
Hopefully.. I'll start improving all across the board!!
So I'm going to leave a link to koala below
if you want to check out the beds for yourself
I highly recommend it - seriously!
If you have any questions or want me to test it again
I'll just jump again in my next school vlog!
I'll just jump some more if you want it!
Thank you so much for watching today!
I'll see you guys well rested in my next videos!
Okay, bye!!
