  • Hey, sisters.

  • So my God, I hate myself.

  • I asked you guys on my story for questions, and there were a lot of really good personal ones I want to answer in another video.

  • But I noticed that a lot of them had to do with, like, advice and kind of figuring your life out.

  • Because for some reason, I think you guys have the impression that I have my shit together, which trust me, I do not.

  • And I mean that literally, too, because I don't have enough fiber in my diet.

  • But we're off to a great start in this video.

  • So my first and most ass category of questions or about dating.

  • So I thought for this I would bring in our resident male slash dating expert to help me answer, though.

  • Hey, it is your favorite.

  • There's, like behind the chair.

  • Oh, that's terrifying.

  • I feel like this is already too sexual.

  • My ass is too fat.

  • It looks like you're wearing a day.

  • I'm like crushing.

  • My chair was not made for big sis survives because of you.

  • But that's OK.

  • We're sister.

  • Stop it!

  • Get out of here.

  • I also answered all of these questions.

  • Before David came, I answered them by myself so I might kind of cut back and forth.

  • So don't like freak out if the camera angle changes and David disappears every so often, but he'll probably come back unless you don't say anything useful.

  • Nothing.

  • My first question is how to tell if a guy likes you guys are pretty obvious.

  • How do you think if his name is David, then he's definitely into me.

  • This'll is something that I wish I had gotten real advice on when I was in middle school and high school, because I spent so many of those years trying to look up online articles or, like, fill out a buzzfeed quiz.

  • That's like, Oh, he never talks to me.

  • But he made 5.9 seconds of eye contact with me across the room and chemistry class.

  • So math totals up.

  • He must like me.

  • Now that I think about it, those articles always had a weird emphasis on exactly how long he shared it.

  • You 2.9 seconds and below.

  • Get out of here.

  • 3.21 above.

  • He wants to have your babies.

  • You know I don't want my Davies.

  • Does he text you back?

  • Do you have a good time hanging out?

  • Does he not flake on plans?

  • Laughing at everything When you try to be funny, even if you're not funny, I'm sure we've all experienced that like you say a joke.

  • And you're like, Wow, that was right down there.

  • Just, like crack up first.

  • I thought you were actually funny.

  • She's like, Did you not think I was funny?

  • What?

  • You were laughing because you liked me?

  • No, you're very funny.

  • Those are all good signals.

  • But you know your situation best, and you're smart.

  • Just be honest with yourself.

  • In high school and middle school, I like so many different guys.

  • And I had a really intense crushes, but I always had to spend so much effort convincing myself that maybe he still liked me.

  • All of the evidence I knew deep down pointed otherwise he probably wasn't interested.

  • Next question is kind of related.

  • How to get a boyfriend?

  • Trust me, girl.

  • I have been through this struggle to I've always been single the majority of my life.

  • My relationships haven't been that long, so I don't know that I have been single and mingling around for quite a while before I found David.

  • My advice is the advice that everybody fucking gives, but it's so true, you have to be totally okay.

  • Being single.

  • You really have to feel confident in yourself and feel like you have your own purpose in life before you dive into a relationship.

  • Love yourself.

  • Trust yourself before you can trust someone else.

  • Love someone else.

  • If you're not happy with yourself, how someone else gonna be happy with you?

  • When I was younger, I used to hate hearing this advice, especially in my earlier years of college, where I was really like Thurston for a boyfriend.

  • I really just wanted a relationship Thio Fill the time or feel some kind of void in myself.

  • Relationships will never solve your problem.

  • Yeah, exactly.

  • It's a Band Aid that, like graphic.

  • It's like a Band Aid, but it looks like it will eventually get words are like a bandit.

  • Yeah, okay.

  • I think this this metaphor has gone too far, too.

  • Next time for wound care 102 over this past summer, where I started working for myself and really dedicating myself to my YouTube channel in putting effort into my videos.

  • I was living on my own for the first time.

  • I really found who I was when I was alone.

  • And I think that it made me such a better dater slash girlfriend.

  • I realized the sound super obnoxious because I'm, like, newly in a relationship.

  • And I'm like, Oh, well, we have everything figured out.

  • But obviously, even after you feel confident in your single south, there is a whole lot of luck involved.

  • My other advice.

  • My earthquake.

  • I know you have to sift through a bunch of people who are gonna be bad for you in order to find somebody who's right there in the dates of people that are not compatible at all.

  • You're gonna go to a restaurant, sit there for two hours.

  • It seems like an eternity because it's such a struggle.

  • You're like, Oh, yeah, yeah.

  • That too.

  • Yeah.

  • One in 20 people you go out on a date with you could end up like dating for a while.

  • That's right.

  • All right.

  • Don't get discouraged.

  • It doesn't work out right away, because, I mean, I use them for years before I found someone.

  • That's great.

  • Well, you didn't know it was like your second book all day.

  • I mean, I use them like Did you want to eat?

  • No.

  • So it's just a matter of putting yourself out there trying to be the best human you can be.

  • Yeah, And even though having a boyfriend is really nice, remember that you don't need one.

  • You are a complete human without anybody else.

  • I feel like there's so much pressure to be in a relationship.

  • Being in a good relationship is better than being single.

  • But being in a bad relationship far worse than being single, that's true.

  • Actually, my first girlfriend, you are the first boy I ever looked at.

  • So I'm offended.

  • I stayed in multiple bad relationship for way longer than I should have just because I don't want to be alone.

  • I don't wanna be single.

  • I thought that being single with somehow be worse than being in a terrible relationship, and it's totally not next up, how to get over a break up.

  • I have been dumped once and had a mutual break up once, and I know that getting broken up with it's so fucking shitty thing about a break up is it feels awful, but it feels really awful.

  • Physical pain.

  • Yes, you get physical even when you do the breaking up.

  • Normally, you've been dating this person for at least a couple months.

  • They've been a really big part of your life.

  • You might have loved them.

  • It physically hurts, and it feels a lot worse than it actually is for me.

  • I'd really like to keep myself busy, because if I give myself too much time, I will just wallow for days, weeks, months.

  • I have a lot of tears stored in these tear ducts, and they're ready to fucking come out.

  • After my first break up, which I was still in high school, pretty messy went to class, went home, just binged animal.

  • So don't do that.

  • Give yourself enough time to process.

  • But right after a break up is also a great time to really throw yourself into work or hobbies or school because you have so much emotional angst that you just want, like power into something you know, texting and talking after a relationship.

  • I think it's a horrible idea.

  • Everyone's ready.

  • Thio talk to their ex at some point until that time comes which is different for everyone.

  • Do not talk to them.

  • It's so easy to fall back into the same patterns, saying romantic things to each other, saying nice things to each other.

  • If you're close, fine when you're actually throws in a babe and you get the fuck out of here.

  • It is so toxic to still be following your ex on social media because you're constantly gonna be reloading every time you go on instagram, you're gonna be like, Oh, did they post something?

  • You're going to analyze all of their comments and all of their likes, see if they're liking a new girl's photo.

  • But after a break up is also a great time to reconnect with friends or to reach out to new friends or cool people that you know that you'd like to hang out with.

  • You still have a support system, even though your significant other is no longer in your life.

  • And fourthly, it is just kind of a matter of time.

  • I remember feeling like I could never stop being sad because I'd still be clinging onto all of these memories of my ex, but thank God for my fucking short term memory, because over time.

  • I just can't recall them anymore.

  • I don't remember what it was like being with him.

  • I don't have these vivid memories of our dates together.

  • He was just like, Oh, that was my ex.

  • You know, every relationship teaches you a lesson.

  • Whether it was good or bad or no matter how it ended, you come out a stronger person and knowing even Maur what you want in your next relationship.

  • So trust me your next one movie that are, in the meantime, take care of yourself, ma'am.

  • Oh, the American educational system.

  • I love you so much.

  • No, I don't fucking suck.

  • My first question is advice for high schoolers.

  • High school was kind of a wild fried for me from start to finish.

  • There were times where I had a friend group where I was rejected from the front group where I felt really lonely and depressed.

  • I wanted to drop out where I had a great time at the end of senior year and didn't want to leave.

  • So I feel like I have done it all.

  • Firstly, don't stress out too much.

  • I was such a little stressed being all of high school I worked like 3 to 4 jobs at a time, on top of getting always I wish I had the confidence in myself earlier on to really dive into creative endeavors Maur rather than spending all my time on grades.

  • But you know, say lovey, I think is what they say.

  • The French are screaming.

  • Remember that you're a teenager and have fun in high school while you can.

  • I always have the mentality that was like Fuck high school.

  • It's the worst four years of my life.

  • I got to get out of here, but by the end, I really learned to enjoy it for what it waas.

  • It's the last time that your mom's gonna cook all your meals for you.

  • You don't have to pay.

  • Read that.

  • You get to see the same people every single day and kind of fuck around in class.

  • And I kind of miss that part of high school even though I was so bored for a lot of it.

  • Even if you're a little bit antisocial like me, go to the dance is if you can.

  • I'm so glad that I got to go to prom.

  • Also, it's totally okay if you don't have a solid friend group.

  • I really didn't for most of my high school experience, and it made me feel kind of shitty at first.

  • But then I realized actually fun because I could choose exactly who I wanted to hang out with.

  • Being outside a friend group made my friendships that I did have a lot deeper because it wasn't just like, Oh, I hang out with these people because we're in a group text together.

  • It was more like I hang out with this person because I really care about that.

  • I really enjoy time with them.

  • How do you choose the right college?

  • College outs were like the worst part of my high school experience.

  • It's so hard when you're 17.

  • To be like, This is me.

  • This is what I want to do in the world.

  • This is my purpose.

  • Please, just looking.

  • Accept me into your school.

  • I don't know.

  • Today I'm still not sure if I chose the right college.

  • It's easy to get caught up in the rankings and the prestige and who has the best pamphlet or which school.

  • Your parents are excited to tell their coworkers that their daughter got into, but those are not good reasons.

  • To choose a school, you should choose the school that feels right for you.

  • Make sure that they have professors that you like, sit in on classes.

  • If you can look into your major in detail, see what the requirements are.

  • See if those air classes that you want to take choosing a college can be so stressful because you're so young and it seems like a life changing decision, and it can, you know, alter the course of your life.

  • But college is really what you make of it.

  • Even though especially freshman year, I really regretted not going to Stanford because I was like, shit, I could be with people that I live with more than L.

  • A.

  • I could be in a lot more prestigious school.

  • I could have good connections.

  • But now I have this YouTube channel, and I don't think I would have done it as much if I was out of really academics like Stanford.

  • So things worked out either way.

  • How do you choose good courses in university?

  • For me, it's all about the professor and not subject matter.

  • I could be taking a class on like French shellfish of the 16th century.

  • And if the professor was interesting enough, I should respond with love.

  • Shellfish.

  • Feel free to try out classes and then swap the within the first couple of weeks.

  • Honestly, it makes your life so much easier than having to deal with a shitty professor all quarter How to stop procrastinating.

  • Well, I am not super qualified to do this because I am quite the procrastinator as well.

  • Tell yourself you can procrastinate, but only if you do things that are productive.

  • Fucking like film.

  • A video editor video, Take photos, do only other assignments.

  • Write a screenplay, I don't know, do everything so that I could procrastinate the thing that I'm dreading the most.

  • I mean, I guess that's still procrastination, but at least I've gotten some other things done so slightly better procrastination.

  • My last school related question is how to survive all nighters and oh, honey, I have pulled my fair share of get a little caffeinated, but know your limits.

  • Don't chug like a shit ton of Red Bull if you can't.

  • I know this isn't really an all nighter, but sleep at your normal bedtime for like two hours and then get up to do your work initially, right after you wake up.

  • Obviously, we're gonna be more tired because you have a sufficient amount of sleep.

  • But the next day you're not gonna feel like you have a giant headache and you can't move.

  • And you can't think it really helps.

  • Like, I don't know, it does something in your fucking body that makes the older a lot better.

  • Do not pull an all nighter the night before a test.

  • At that time of night, nothing sticking your brain, it's over.

  • Just go to sleep.

  • Next up, we have some questions about apartments, which I'm actually very excited for because I'm such a fucking nerd for apartments and real estate.

  • Catch me on Zillow every single morning, just looking at insanely overpriced places in a way.

  • So my first question that somebody asked was just how to apartment.

  • I like that.

  • They're keeping it plain and simple.

  • I guess I'll just give you all my apartment advice.

  • Start your apartment hunt online to get a sense of the prices in the area that you're looking for.

  • But when you actually go shopping for an apartment, go to that specific area and look at all of the signs on the buildings and call the numbers.

  • Not only are you gonna find more apartments, but you're also gonna find cheaper apartments.

  • I feel like landlords were just lacking behind the rest of us.

  • In terms of technology, most doesn't still do it the old fashioned way and have numbers on their building that you can call when you're touring apartments.

  • There are a couple things that are really important that most people forget to check for.

  • Check the fucking shower water pressure because your life will suck if your shower isn't good.

  • Or at least it would for me because I love myself a good shower.

  • Have somebody else stand in another room of the apartment and then talk to each other or yells to each other and find out how soundproof the walls aren't, which I failed to do in this apartment.

  • And it is not very soundproof, Atal, even though I thought it was so, does not been great for my roommates.

  • I apologize, but this one's random.

  • But if you live in a hot area, fucking make sure that your apartment has a C because mine does not, and it sucks in the summer once you decide to move in, this is my biggest hip, especially for people in college is to get the numbers or e mails of the people who are moving out.

  • That made it so much easier for this apartment because I was able to communicate with her about when we should transfer the utilities.

  • I also asked her whether she wanted to sell any of her furniture to me in my apartment mates.

  • So my apartment maids were able to get a bunch of really cheap furniture.

  • They got, like their bed frames and their desks, and she even left us a microwave and cooking utensils that she didn't want any more kind of related to.

  • That somebody asked how much you pay for your apartment.

  • Contrary to popular belief, I don't live alone.

  • That would be so nice, and I'm hoping to be able to live alone after I graduate.

  • But right now I'm in a two bedroom, one bathroom apartment with two of my other friends living in the other room.

  • My share of the rent is 1000 $200 per month, plus utilities.

  • Brent is like, really fucking expensive here.

  • I don't know what to tell you guys.

  • My last apartment related question is how to make your room look, Maura, adults and not like your mom designed it when you were 12.

  • I have a pretty neutral color palette going on, which I think is generally perceived as like adults.

  • For some reason, the second thing is textures like I have Cooper on this little railing.

  • I have some gold.

  • I have some wood on my bed.

  • Honestly, I am kind of a cheapo and I don't like bothering to frame my artwork, but it immediately, like even if you have posters.

  • If you have little things that you drew, it makes the room look like you're a real adults.

  • My next category is jobs and internship.

  • So my first question is, How do you get internships?

  • I think other industries are a lot more merit based, but stuff like entertainment.

  • It's really about who you know and whether you could make a good first impression.

  • I had absolutely zero connections in the film industry coming here.

  • I grew up in suburban Maryland, so my first internship was just one off the L.

  • A Facebook page where I would really like, took out the trash of these people.

  • They treated me so bad and they didn't pay me.

  • But it was enough to get some experience on my resume to get my second internship, which I got through a random girl I didn't know on the You sell a Facebook group who needed a replacement intern.

  • At least in the entertainment industry, they don't like interviewing people or looking for resumes.

  • They just asked their previous intern, who their next intern should be.

  • And then it's just the chain of interns.

  • So check a Facebook group or ask your friends if you know that they're interning, whether you could take over their internship next and a slide in there.

  • Also, I wish I had known this when I was younger and I was interning Freshman year.

  • Your work is important, and you should show that you're a hard worker, but it's also equally important to create a personal connection with the people at your office.

  • I was such a little office mouth, and I would just take my work in a corner, stay really quiet, do my work efficiently and do it well.

  • But I really wouldn't be sociable with anybody else in the office because I didn't want to bother them.

  • Don't be afraid to ask your co workers to get lunch to get coffee, to be able to ask them questions about how they got their jobs and how they got started in your industry.

  • Because people love talking about themselves.

  • They love mentoring other people they love feeling really smart and like they can tell other people what to dio at me in this video.

  • So they're probably more than happy to talk to you, and then you could make even more connections.

  • Next stop, somebody asked.

  • I have an interview coming up.

  • Do you have any tips?

  • Interviews are about showing that you're qualified and that you know what you're talking about.

  • But it's also about becoming friends with the interviewer and showing them that you're a person that they want to work with.

  • The first question, pretty much any interviewer will ask is So tell me about yourself.

  • If you answer this first question well, first of all, there are other questions are gonna be kind of irrelevant because you've already told them why you're a good candidate for the shop who you are as a person, and secondly, it'll create this kind of conversational banter rather than here is a question, Let me answer it.

  • I used to always feel guilty for talking for a long time.

  • I didn't want to take too long with responses for interview question because I'm like, surely they have a bunch of other questions that they'd like to ask me.

  • But that first question is really your opportunity to tell them everything that you want them to know about yourself and paint your own story.

  • You're gonna get on little tangents with the interviewer.

  • They'll be like, Oh, I used to live in Maryland to What was that?

  • Like It creates a conversation rather than an interview, which is so important because it makes you connect with your interviewer so much more personally.

  • Always, always, always send a thank you email or, if you have the company address, send them handwritten thank you notes.

  • And my last question, which is kind of related to jobs, is just how to stay motivated.

  • In general, I feel like I've always been a pretty motivated person, almost to a fault, because I'm a little bit of a workaholic.

  • I think staying motivated for me is easy now because the things I'm working on, which our YouTube and film school are things that I really, really care about.

  • And I could see myself in the I could literally see myself in this, but it's like my personality is reflected in it.

  • I'm working for myself.

  • So the hours I put in really just like go back to benefit me.

  • I think a lot of the reason that people don't feel motivated is that they don't actually care or they don't have, like, skin in the game.

  • You know, if you're going to college or getting a certain major or getting certain grades just because it's what you're expected to do, Maybe your parents pressured you into it at the end of the day.

  • Even if you try, it's really hard to work towards things that other people wanted that you don't want for yourself.

  • Search for something that you love enough and that you care about enough that it's easy to get motivated.

  • This is probably a bigger answer than you asked for.

  • I don't have any, like fun little hacks, really.

  • You just have to level with yourself and kick your own ass.

  • If you've had a really unproductive year or something, just be like you know what?

  • I'm gonna shut the fuck up.

  • Now I'm gonna stop complaining, and I'm going to get up, do the things that I told myself that I'm gonna d'oh!

  • And it's gonna make me feel a lot better.

  • Sorry, that was kind of harsh, but, you know, sometimes you need something to kick your butt.

  • All right, That is all the advice.

  • I'm going to ramble to you guys today.

  • Thank you so much for watching this video, as always.

  • And I hope that some of this advice was helpful and it wasn't like, too pretty and weird.

  • I don't know.

  • I don't normally do advice, the videos, and I'll see you guys next year.

  • Oh, God, I hate that.

  • But so cheesy.

  • Okay, bye.

Hey, sisters.
