I have been following your journey literally from the start of the pandemic. I remember you mentioning in one of your early videos about how distressed you were that all you internships cancelled and that you were so lost if things would workout. As someone who has witnessed your journey since the start-- and loved every bit of it-- it's so nice to see how much you've grown as an individual and a content creator and how beautifully your life has unfolded since then. Love you so much Kaiti

omg same, I started following you at the beginning of the pandemic. This video shocked me so much, as so much time has passed and so many things have happened in the time since I started following you. Also, I have to add that your videos still have the same feel as they did in the beginning although they have simultaneously evolved so much Sending so much love from Germany P.S.: Have a great time in Korea I'm really jealous haha

hey queen! girl, you have done it again. constantly raising the bar for us all and doing it flawlessly. i’d say i’m surprised but i know who you are. i’ve seen it up close and personal. girl you make me so proud. fr though i loved this video. i've just graduated college as well (yay class of 2022!!) and i resonated with every single one of your lessons - it feels really nice that we reached similar takeaways through similar trajectories of both good & bad experiences. congrats on graduating kween!! ❤️

Congratulations! I finished my second masters degree yesterday (so 7 years of college). So three more lessons: 5. when one door closes another opens, but you have to look for it and trust the process. 6. Everything happens for a reason, mostly to let you grow as a person. 7. Have faith in yourself! All the love from Austria

As someone who has been feeling lost for months now after finishing my first year in college and realizing what i thought was my calling was straight out the window seeing your videos and growth is so comforting Kaiti. You are so inspiring and I know you will have a prosperous future!
kaiti, i can only hope I have this much self-reflection ability after four years in college because I just finished one and I don't know if I have brain cells left. Congrats my queen, look forward to watching you take on the world
oh man, i really felt this one. I feel so happy and excited for you. As someone who graduated 3 years ago and is living this post-grad "adulting" life, there is so much more to experience, both good and bad. But, it is an amazing process and I know you will shine in whatever you put your mind and heart in. Congrats on graduating Kaiti, can't wait to see what else is in store for you.
As someone that just finished one year of college, this video hits in a diff way. Will definitely be using the next three years to explore and learn as much as I can while staying true to myself! :) Congratulations Kaiti!
omg kaiti this video is a whole netflix tv show arc of the main character. i loved this so much!!
This is definitely your best video to date and I'm on the verge of bawling my eyes out. I've graduated college five years ago and I'll graduate my master this summer, and looking back, college is definitely my pivoting point that I have not realized until now. thank you for this~
i love how you made the point, "good things take time". that is something that will stick with me. congratulations once again kaiti, and although im a few years younger than you, i wish you the best in your next years of adulting :O !! i am super happy for you as well, and looking forward to future works you will produce!! :)
this has to be your best video kaiti. your voiceover, the clips you chose, everything was just beautiful. much love 💜
Thanks for this video, Kaiti. I'm 29, I live in San Diego and I've been here for 11 years (for undergrad and some extra years). This hit all of the feelings for me in knowing it's time to move on and that I've gotten what I've needed out of here. Been job hunting for that next spot and hopefully in the Mid-West. Cheers to your next chapter and thank you for being...YOO! :)
I never thought I would be so proud of someone I’ve never met 😭 congratulations Kaiti!!! Can’t wait to see where the rest of your life takes you, I know it’ll be filled with so many blessings ❤️

I think you answered your own question a little "I've finally cracked college, why do I have to leave?" Life's about throwing yourself into new situations and learning and growing. If you've cracked the system you can't develop. Cracking college shows you're ready to move on, you've got all that you could have from it. Better to leave now than stay longer and have that environment feel stagnant (or so I've been told by my friends who stayed on to do masters)
life has been really messy for me recently, and this video helped me so much. thank you kaiti, and let the odds be in your favor for adulthood!
this means so much to me! I'm going into my High School Senior year, but you reiterating that everything will be okay after high school warms my heart. CONGRADS again Kaiti Yoo!! 🎉 Hats off to you! 🎓
AHHH loved all the reflections & storytimes from ur college experience!! ur mom for real the #1 😭 ty for bringing all of your internet friends along on your reflective journey thru ur past 4 years 😆
KAITI CONGRATULATIONS GIRLLLLLL!!!!!! WE ALL LOVE YOU SO DAMN MUCH, looking forward to all the new chapters in your life
I am soooo so thankful that the youtube algorithm placed your vlog on my feed 2 years ago ㅠㅠㅠㅠ it was one of my lowest moments but i had your videos to look forward to 🥺 I remember playing your vlogs over and over again (i think they were about 6 at the time!!) while i was studying or eating or doing whatever 😭😭😭 time flies!! I’m on my last year of college now and watching this vlog made me so emotional 😭 i’m so so happy to see your channel grow and i cant wait for the adventures life has in store for you 🥺 i love this little corner of the internet
Omg I’m crying. This was so beautiful. I have a year left in college and this really wants to make me try to enjoy these last two semesters. Thanks girl!!! And congratulations!!!! 🎊 excited to join you along the next chapter of your life.
that intro was so emotional ughh great video Kaiti ❤

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect the dots looking back” I’m going to cry omg
Everything that you have said and felt throughout this video, resonated with me so much. I am trying to be a youtuber because I have been OBSESSED with it for as long as I can remember. And people talk negatively about it because they don’t understand or think it’s a waste of time. But I have started and I cannot wait for what is to come. I have had severe depression for awhile and when I uploaded my last video I felt happy truly happy. So thank you for being motivational, if I couldn’t follow my dreams then there would be no purpose in my life. So without a doubt I will not leave anything behind and I will enjoy the journey and be grateful that I can have one. I have been watching u grow and it’s so inspirational love ya kaiti🫶🏽
it's not even me who graduated but your whole video and your whole journey just made me cry 😭 i'm so proud of you kaiti!!! you got through so much and you survived college!! Also your video deserves its own netflix film bc it's soooo good i was hooked and i loved watching this specific video of yours 🥰💗
This is giving valedictorian speech 😩✋. Thank you so much for sharing kaiti. I want to be you when I grow up. 🥺

YOU mean the world to me!!! Thank you so much.
The part about how you can't connect the dots of your life looking forward, only back really got to me. I love your videos and thank you so much for sharing this with me.
I shed an actual tear - this was wonderful to watch, especially as a rising sophomore I'm relatively new to your channel, but you really have a way of taking us on the journey with you and that is such an amazing skill. Thank you for your positivity and ~wisdom~ Can't wait to see what comes next for you :)
This has got to be one of my favorite videos not just from your channel, but on this entire platform. I'm class of '23 and as the end of my college experience draws closer, I feel like I've missed out on a lot and haven't made the most of it. But little pieces of encouragement like this give me hope that the things I'm so worried about today will make more sense down the road. Congratulations on graduating, and I wish you all the best in this new chapter!! :) I'll be re-watching this anytime I feel down in the dumps.
Girl i just graduated 2 weeks ago too and this made me so EMO AGAINNNNNNN :( Congrats to us!!
Kaiti this is a cinematic masterpiece
Bawling my eyes out 😭 You’re so inspiring. Your content is so wholesome and so well crafted. Keep doing what you do, we love you! 🫶🏼
Not me crying my eyes out, Kaiti, I love you, i discovered you quite recently but i really love you....
Thank you for sharing, as always! The future is still uncertain, but I hope I will graduate with even a fraction of the first-hand gained wisdom that you did.
So happy for you! Thank you for this🖤
Such an amazing story teller and incredible editing/ translation! Congrats on graduating!
You can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking back! Congratulations, Kaiti! Thank you for sharing some of your adventures and your reflections with us! :)
this video impacted me a lot! it is life changing and i feel so serene after watching it. your words are so deep and so thinkable. the video was aesthetic beautiful, intellectually useful, life altering kind. omg it was just too good! sending you tons of love and blessings for your future!!

Tbh i think everyone should see this video! It was heart touching, LITERALLY! I'm glad you got it all figured out.
Such an amazing video! I wish your new chapter of life wil be besttt everrrr
yoongi said "giving up decisively takes courage too" and that was even my senior quote
Kaiti, all of this was so so applicable in my own undergrad experience. So grateful you made this! I finish my courses in two months and walk for grad in December. ❤️ watching ur vids has been super helpful
I'm so proud of you, I remember I was watching your videos before starting college myself. It's crazy how much you've grown and I'll miss your college videos but I'm so excited for what's next for you. And I'm sure whatever comes, you'll make the most of it. Congrats girl
shit shit shit i did not expect this video to make me fully cry. im so happy for you kaiti, truly. its not everyday i feel a sense of pride in a youtube creator, a stranger i dont even knoe personally. i wish you the best in all of your endeavors. i hope i, too, after my 2 more years of college, have learnt as much about myself as you have. love, Yash
the amount of college videos i watch while i’m not even close to college. love you kaiti!!

Glad to be able to watch your journey, didn't imagine I learn a lot from someone younger than me. Congrats!
Congrats on graduating Kaiti. I am from Germany and therefore we do not have colleges and only universities and I am not even in one yet. I will start in the fall but I hope to apply some of the lessons you mentioned in this beautiful video. It's so wonderful to see that you now have such a huge fanbase because I started following you before you had 10.000 subscribers, which honestly feels surreal.
i smiled so much watching this :”) congrats kaiti! so proud of how far you’ve come!!
Congratulations my Kaiti, I'm proud of you!!! 💖💖💖
