That's kinda how I've been operating in the past few months. I really, really want a job at the place where I'm doing my master's thesis so my plan has been to make everyone think of me as a permanent part of the staff. I've made friends, voiced my opinions in meetings, brought in cake, taken on extra assignments, distanced myself from the other students. Next step is to move out of the master students' room into an actual office. Hopefully, by the time I'm done with my master's, I will leave such a void that they have to hire me.

"No I'm here just to be annoying". That has kind of become the channel motto. In all seriousness, you made a great choice with that dress. You looked fantastic.

I love how you giggle every time you complement your self or say something flattering to you 😂 it’s adorable

DAMN AMANDA YOU LOOKED FINE AS HELL edit: just got to the part where you talk about how it felt to hear that other creators like your work and honestly, as someone in academia, that's exactly how i feel when a professor i admire compliments me on my research, so it's completely understandable that you feel that way!!! it's nice to be recognized by your peers

I'm taking that confidence and energy and bringing it with me into 2023. Just operate as if everything's going to work out. Goddamn girl. Also you look absolutely stunning!!! They were right about being an Amazonian 5'2'' Queen :>

House of CB should have sponsored this; that dress looks so good I checked out their website and now I have five dresses I can't really afford in my shopping cart.

Your videos always feel like listening to your best friend tell you about a wild trip they went on while you were in the hospital. super comforting. haha like shits gunna just work out. and yes, you rocked that dress!

With going back and forth between your place AND your dad’s AND going to all these events, please don’t get burnt out! We love and value you so please take care of yourself consistently!

You and that dress looked fantastic. Those girls weren’t lying. Love your content. Ty so much for all the entertainment.

Amanda, you don't nominate yourself, you submit your work! If it makes you fell less weird to do this, tell yourself that every single person who won a Grammy or an Oscar had to submit their work for those awards! Every years, labels submit their artists' work for different categories (if the artists want to... last year The Weeknd said he'd ask his label to not submit his work for Grammy anymore... don't know if he actually did it... is he nominated this year? I'd have to look this up). You don't have a label or a production company, so you have to do it yourself. But it's not weird and it's not pretentious, and you deserve to be nominated! Also, the voters (don't remember the actuel term for them) who vote for the Grammys and the Oscars receive packages from the people who submitted their works. Usually it's a physical copy of the album or the movie (depending on which award we're talking about), but actual gifts are sent with them... to a point that rules had to be made! (Because you're more inclined to vote for someone who gave you a bottle of Champagne Veuve Clicquot or a piece of jewelry from Cartier!). So, really, submit your work next year. Maybe you won't be nominated (even if you deserve to be), but you'd try and that's perfectly fine to want recognition from your hard work!

“Im just here to be annoying” Is a lifestyle

Next year you just need to make a deal with another creator that you'll nominate each other.

I really love how everyone is respectfully complimenting and/or thirsting over Amanda. Also, you looked amazing in that dress!

"I'll be arm candy" lolol so valid tho

Whenever I assume something's gonna potentially be fancy I always dress business casual or semi formal. Saves me time and helps me stick out less just in case it's the complete opposite of what was assumed.

My thoughts on the Streamys are perfectly encapsulated by the fact that Dream got nominated for the Gamer award, but ProtonJon (Who basically created Gaming KZread as we know it) has, to my knowledge, never been nominated for one, which really goes to show how little the people in charge actually care about the event and what it represents.

I’ve worked on awards shows but not the Streamys. In answer to your question at 17:00 on who picks the categories to be in the show, it’s highly likely that it was a co-decision between the awards team and the production team, consisting of producers and a director who have all been hired because they have experience running awards shows. On these bigger shows, the awards team, which I would assume is KZread here , and production team tend to be separate. The awards team would be keeping track of who’s winning and obtaining the envelopes with the winner’s names. The production team would likely not know who the winners will be but are in charge of the show’s run time and order to a certain extent. Categories can get moved around based on who is coming and who the nominees are that have the biggest star draw. The producers are likely not young and super KZread aware so there was most certainly debates behind the scenes on which categories are more desirable than others. They likely had a list with even more categories that were then nixed before the Streamys nominations even opened. The Department head of the Talent team which works under production would be responsible for confirming the talent that was coming and making sure they are where they are supposed to be. I would say it is highly likely the production team knew who would be there and who would not. All of this to say, things could be different since the Streamys are a digital awards show rather than a traditional one for cable.

Hey Amanda, I just wanted to say that I am absolutely so impressed with your content. As a long time viewer (like a year lol) and first time commenter, just wanted to not only remind you that your content is so appreciated by many, but also that you as a person are just so entertaining to watch. You're so funny, real, and refreshing. Keep it up! PS. THAT DRESS IS PHENOMENAL

I had FEMTO-LASIK surgery and I can't recommend it enough 😭 pre-op they give you numbing eye drops and sanitize (is that the right term?) your lids and the area around it, then you go into the OR and you lay down underneath the machine, the doctor will insert the forceps (?) that keep your eyes open and a tube like thing on your eyeball?? I couldn't see it I only felt it, then you just have to focus on the red flickering light until the doctor tells you it's over, you don't feel anything at all, the only terrifying thing is that when they lift your cornea flap everything goes dark and you can only see the flickering light 💀💀💀 Post-OP was really easy you just have to keep your eyes closed for the next 24 hours. What was uncomfortable in that period is that I felt a thick THICK hair in my eyeballs (which I assume is the cornea flap?) But that feeling vanished the very next morning Overall 10/10 experience

I just have to say, your laugh after asking if you could bring the giant egg home was so fun. Really made my heart happy 💖

You take a sleep pill you have someone drive you home you SLEEP AS LONG AS YOU CAN. And when you wake up you see. Eyes are puffy but vision was perfect.
