please don't beat yourself up about how you reacted in that situation! it is completely normal to freeze in a scary situation like that

This is literally one of my worst fears and the reason I lock my doors as soon as I get in my car or after someone gets out. So glad you’re ok Gretchen💕

Same since, I was a child always lock my doors cause I’m scared of people

Seems meant to be that it was the wrong Starbucks or else maybe Max wouldn't have come back out at that exact second. Timing is everything, glad you guys are safe!

I feel like you have been through so much lately and it’s so sad to see you down. It says a lot about your character to have the initial thought that he was lost and that you felt bad for him. I feel like a lot of people would jump to the worst and not really care about the guy. I’m excited for you and Max and it looks like only good things are to come for you.

girl don’t apologize for “complaining too much” or being sad, we love you and we love how you are so real! love u gretchen💓☺️

i just love the way that max protects you and supports you emotionally and in everything that you do! you guys look like you have such a great relationship 🙂 love to see it!! and so happy you’re okay

everytime you say “pennsylvania” it makes me smile bc people from pennsylvania normally just say “PA”!!

Truth!!

That car story is so scary!!! Good thing max was there. Glad you were okay

That does sound scary in the moment. I'm glad you are safe and ok.

wtf that story about the guy who tried to get in to your car!!! so creepy!

Sometimes things like this happen for a reason, it could be God’s way to remind you to be more careful to prevent something worse happening down the road❤️ 😊

One time I was in a dark parking lot and three drunk men stumble down the sidewalk and one approach each side of my car and tried to open the doors and say gross things and it was the scariest thing that’s probably ever happened to me. My doors were locked but my windows were cracked because it was summer... they were putting their hands inside my car trying to touch me and everything. Please don’t beat yourself up Gretchen.. there are just weird and bad people out there ☹️ Stay safe!! Love you!!

Max is too funny, “no free foot stuff” hahah!!

I’ve had someone walk into my boyfriends apartment when we were in his bedroom & he didn’t lock the front door & this guy made food & fell asleep on his couch. (He had a roommate so we thought it was them)Very scary stuff but yes remember to lock your doooors!!!

Gretchen I loved how raw this vlog was! I believe letting people see you in vulnerable and emotional times is a sign of strength. I hear you about how sad it is to leave Boston...it's literally my favorite place in the world, I never want to come back to NY either. NY is happy to have you back for a couple months though, and we have exciting happy adventures coming!

Crying at Max "MYBODYDIFFERENT!" and "no free foot stuff"

Definitely you’re safety is more important than a car. I think you’re instinct to get out of the car was correct. What if he had a weapon and told you to drive?!?! He could have hurt you!

I love your videos so much Gretchen they literally make my day so much better. I wish you luck for your move 💕💞

been waiting for this one!!! so excited for your new adventure💗

I used to watch you forever ago & I stopped watching KZread so much but you’ve been posting more & ive been watching like crazy! I’ve been loving the casual vlogs

Gretchen i don’t think you understand how much you boost my mood! I love you soo much

Agreed!

love love love the content!! I watch a lot of lifestyle youtubers but you always seem the most authentic and I truly feel like you are just living life with us

Hey girl, thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing that story! When I was 16 the same thing happened to me at a mall, and luckily it was some random teenager just messing around... but it’s still really scary!! I can’t imagine your situation, don’t beat yourself up about your reaction because you never know how you’ll react in a situation like that! I did the same thing and was upset about it because he could have been a threat or something. I’m so glad Max was there! Be safe 😊❤️

So happy that Max was there for you❤️ and happy you’re okay❤️ praying for you!

Omg I’m dying at how fast he ran over to cover your foot😂😂

You’re always killing the upload game and it seriously makes me days 100x better!! 🥰💛

Yes, most of the food at Starbucks (breakfast sandwiches/pastries) do come in frozen or cold, then heated to order. But they also have fresh salads & wraps as well !

Wow Gretchen! I’m so sorry that happened to you, but thank you for sharing. It is a reminder to us all to be careful and always be on the lookout! You handled it fine. There is no “correct” way to react in a time like that! Don’t be mad at yourself Gretchen! I’m just so glad you both are okay and that Max was there.

I’m so sad to see you leave Boston! I swear one day somewhere somehow I will give you the biggest hug and probably cry because I am so freaking grateful for all that you have got me through. also just another update: my dad is home!!!! he is still hurting A LOT so if you could keep him in your thoughts I would really appreciate it. Thank you for producing such amazing content and I love you so much more than you will ever know ❤️

I’m sososo SO excited for ur next journey with max!!!!

Great moving blog, Gretchen!❤️❤️

Your skin is glowing Gretchen!!!! Excited to see where you and Max live/move next (: xo

Max is a queen we need more max content. I love his singing, Mr tiktok

it’s the little things you don’t think of like AC that make you reaaallly thankful for it when it happens to break/turn off!! (also I’m so proud of you for taking life lessons from that scary situation)!!!

Omg I’m so sorry that happened to you, that’s absolutely terrifying!! I’m so happy you’re safe!!❤️❤️

I would've been TERRIFED. I'm so glad everything turned out okay 💞

living for all the content we've been getting girl

Wtf girl i would’ve been so scared 😭 glad you’re okay! Don’t feel bad for wanting to cry or feel bad for the guy, he was going into your personal space that’s not okay.

I know it has probably been A LOT of work, but I have been loving the video post frequency. It has really been helping me, so I appreciate it 💗

Glad you’re okay!!!!!

That’s so scary, Gretchen, I’m so glad you’re both okay! ❤️

So glad you are safe Gretchen.. I wouldn’t know what to do in that situation either! Glad Max was there. And don’t feel bad either

Gretchen please don’t be ashamed of being in shock during that scary event! During trauma, the body either goes into flight fight or freeze - your body froze and that’s a totally normal response. Your brain can’t think critically when you are that terrified so when you cool down you think about all the things you would have done. We’re glad you’re safe 🤍

your hair looks so good when you sleep on it wet I like the wavy look!

Everything literally happens for a reason! Next time you’ll be more aware and always lock ur doors!! Thank goodness max was with you❤️

I can’t believe you are moving!! I still remember the moving in videos to BU 🥺🥺❤️

soo ready for her new chapter!!

We are going to miss all the memories at this BOS. apartment 😢❤️

Gretchen, I would’ve reacted the same way. Don’t be so hard on yourself girl

I love your joe like that in the beginning!!

Glad you are okay! Please always lock your doors when you are in your car even if you have other people with you. That happened to me once and after that I always had my doors locked. Glad Max was there to take help you. Hugs!❤️🌻

Gretchen, I think you should be easy on yourself with all of your emotions about moving and especially the stranger incident!! No one is fully prepared in a situation like that so unexpected. And being emotional during packing/moving is so common and you should feel out those feelings. 💓 I hope all of that made sense. You’re such a light to so many people and can make anyone’s day!

Excited for your vlogs back in Albany 🥳🥳🥳

Ahhh the car story is so scary, I would have froze too don’t feel bad that you did that is so normal is scary situations!! Glad you’re okay, Max is literally your angel :’)

When I was studying abroad in London my phone with all my identification on the back of got stolen, I was absolutely devastated because my privacy was being attacked. I totally understand how you feel! Just another lesson learned to be safe at all times because you don’t know everyone’s intentions. If I was you, I would have ran away too lol. Glad you are safe and with Max. Thank goodness that he was there! Sending my love 💕

Glad you’re safe! Don’t be mad at yourself for not reacting perfectly... this will be a learning experience and I’m sure you’ll double check to lock your car doors, as will I from now on! Happy you’re okay💕

I am so happy you are safe! That sounds so incredibly scary.

Moving has all the feels it’s so stressful and a big change give yourself grace for feeling the feels about it

Omg I’m so sorry that happened! I would literally be terrified but it’s ok you reacted how anyone would!

That is terrifying, so glad you are ok. Its good you had put you camera down because if he knew you were filming he may have hurt you. I’m so sorry Gretchen, you are the sweetest thinking the best in people, and good luck with moving ❤️

omg so glad you're ok!! 🖤🖤i lock my car 24/7 by muscle memory & cause i'm from right outside nyc

Glad you’re okay!

Stay safe guys!!

Love you Gretchen :’)

wow, Gretchen I am so sorry that is so scary I'm so glad you are okay. noted though to always lock doors when waiting.

So glad you're okay!!! I agree with Max about getting pepper spray if you're in a situation where maybe you're walking and have nothing else to protect you, but I also recommend a personal alarm! Way easier to use when you feel frozen because you just push a button and someone will hear (they're loud as HECK) and come help you and you don't have to worry about like hurting someone with pepper spray especially if they are just confused or not trying to harm you. Hope this helped! ❤️

that is so scary omg, I would have froze too, im glad you are okay!! and im going to miss the memories from this apartment! such a bittersweet feeling

Always put your safety before making someone else feel bad. I remember years ago my Mom telling me one of her coworkers felt bad for a woman who was walking on up this hill and trying to get a ride, so she pulled over and let her in her car. In turns out it was a man in women's clothes. She kept calm and the then and the next stop sign she got out of the car and got the attention of other people to help her. So sorry this happened to you sweetie. Be gentle with yourself and take care. Love and hugs being sent your way!!!

hiii i love watching your videos 🥰🥰

You are right - the breakfast sammies at Starbs come to the store frozen!

That's so scary, Gretchen! I'm so glad you're ok.

That has happened to me before! Some girl got in my car saying she needed help - thankfully there was a cop near by (looking for her, she was a runaway) and helped me get her help. It was the SCARIEST thing and I understand you not feeling like you handled it correctly but when you are in that moment it is hard to know what to do! Glad you are okay

I work at Starbucks! All sandwiches are sent to us every night and are never frozen in our stores! They're obviously pre-packaged but not frozen (all our other pastries are frozen). I would say although many taste good, they're not good for you. There's a new Impossible Breakfast Sandwich that's super delicious though I recommend!

one time when me and my roommate were sitting in the car outside a store while our guy friends went inside, a man just came up and started tapping on the window and wouldn’t stop and I was so scared so I didn’t want to look and I just looked away and hoped he’d leave and then our friends came out and the guy left... I think he was homeless or intoxicated or something but it was really scary, I understand. So glad you’re ok!

I can’t wait for Pennsylvania vlogs

I'm gonna miss the boston vlogs🥺🦋

I was once in the airport flying home from school alone for the first time and a man came up to me and told me he was gonna take me home! I don’t think I’ve ever been that scared in my life! At first I froze and then I started screaming without even realizing it. You never know what you’re gonna do in an unexpected situation! Thank god you’re alright! And hopefully that other car is too!

Gretchen a few years ago some lady came into my dads car when he was waiting to go into work in Cambridge !! So crazy the lady just kept asking him to drive her/buy her stuff and he just like kicked her out ahah so scary

Hi Gretchen where’s your silver necklace from it’s v pretty ? Do you have the link for it? You’re so stunning omg 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I’m so happy that you’re okay! That’s so scary! ❤️

I just want to give you a hug Gretchen 🙁🥰

Scary things have happened while I’ve been walking and people have used the guise of asking for directions, so it’s always best to just keep car doors locked and your windows mostly up.

Seems like a sign that your move is a great choice!

That is so scary but I totally understand the reaction you had.

Omg that is so scary girl please be safe

The exact same thing happened to me at the gas station the other day!!! It happened so quick I didn’t have time to process the fact that I should lock the door. I was just trying not to be rude. So scary!!! Glad you are okay.

Who else loves Gretchen's positivity?! Small youtuber here inspired by her 💕

Ahh glad you're ok!! Some random drunk girl walked into my apartment at 1am once.. I also didn't lock my door but I was still awake. She didn't even know who's apartment unit she was visiting she was so intoxicated. Thankfully she left after we said we didn't know her 🙈 but still scary.. lock your doors everyone!

EARLYYYYYY❤️❤️❤️

that is so terrifying! Ugh, i would’ve felt the same way :( !!

I’m so sorry that happened to you, very scary! All the ladies reading this, LOCK YOUR CAR DOORS!

Wow, bittersweet. I remember when You & Taylor got the place 😎

The same thing happened to me and my friend. We were at a stop sign and a man tried to get in the back seat. Now I lock my doors all the time. Growing up my mom would always lock the door whenever people were walking by and I always thought she was being dramatic. Little did I know

Where are your earrings from? I love them!

Congratulations on the move also I don't blame you for feeling scared etc in the situation as I'd be the same way thankfully you have such a great boyfriend aka max I highly recommend investing in pepper spray or something fabulous video

I've had some weird experiences with people in cities too. It's totally normal to be shaken up though, and what you did isn't bad at all. In all honesty he was probably tripping on drugs or possibly drunk which is why he was unresponsive and kept pulling on others people's doors. So glad you're okay though!!

Omg that’s terrifying 😣 you should definitely report it to the police!! Glad you’re okay x

Ugh I wish I could hug you, that sounds soo scary I would have reacted the same way!

Getting out of your car was the right thing to do! No item, even a car, is worth your safety. The same thing happened to me when I was 9 months pregnant. I panicked and got out of the car. Thankfully, the guy made a mistake and got out. It's very scary!

Hi G!!!
