I literally couldn't relate to this video more. After graduating college, I even specifically remember saying to a friend of mine, "there has to be more than this." All I'll say is there's absolutely no shame in getting a therapist. I think one of the best things we can do for ourselves is get the help we need, not only for us and our mental state, but also for those in our lives, so we can be the best version of ourselves for them too 😌🙏

No one talks about this. It's instilled upon you that you have to go to college to get a job, so you go, then you can't get a job bc it's so competitive or you don't have experience. It's frustrating so I appreciate you talking about this. I finally got a job after college and got laid off a couple weeks ago due to budget cuts so now I'm back on the job hunt. Anyways...I love your channel so much and look forward to your videos every week! 💓

Same here!!

I think one thing to remember about not living with your parents is…. You can always change that. I used to live an hour from my folks and I’d spent one weekend a month with them, and I can’t tell you how much I miss that now I live 700+ miles away. My parents live only a mile from my grandmother too, and my great gran and grandmother lived together for most of their adulthood. Don’t let anyone tell you what the right way to be an adult is, just like you shouldn’t let people’s judgments and comments sway you from pursuing other work opportunities or changing the direction of your channel, etc. just find what works for you and keep pursuing what brings you joy ❤

I get the job thing... in a youtuber's shoes I'd consider 2 things: For one, it's good to have experience in the corporate world, it'll teach you lessons that you wouldn't learn only being self-employed. Second, youtube is a volatile job so it makes sense to look for other incomes as well... Good luck Hannah ☘️

knowing that i am months away from graduation is literally terrifying but these videos make me excited for the future and the “real world”!!! thanks Hannah and have a great Monday!!

The video title is so accurate. As a recent post-grad myself, I relate to this so much. Even with a recent college degree, I cannot find work in the tech industry. So I'm now in a position where I have to take classes at a community college to earn additional certifications. P.S. You are not alone.

girl, i love this. Other than talking about what it feels like to move out and figure things life post-grad, this format feels like a podcast/ just having a personal heart-to-heart with a friend.

this episode had so many layers and i can't express how appreciative i am that you included all of those. for starters hannah, i am so proud of you. i recently went on a little binge of your channel, actually i do this every weekend but i digress, and the amount of growth you have made this year is truly remarkable. hearing you talk about the group of friends you made thus far fills my heart up with joy, truly no one deserves to be surrounded by genuine people more then you. i understand talking about your career is a uncomfortable topic to talk about, and i want you to know that your feelings are absolutely valid!! i actually found it SO interesting hearing you talking about your job and love for marketing. possibly consider other outlets to express more of your thoughts, like a podcast or blog?? the content you already produce is FANTASTIC and i am so excited for future endeavors!! the topic on the feeling of going home, i resonated deeply and agree that the feeling of being a "guest" at the home we grew up in is not talked about enough. something that has helped me going home as a junior in undergrad, has been focusing on the good memories that happen at home, even the littlest things. i know it can be harder then it seems at times, but always know that the definition of home can have many different meanings!! i love you so much & please give yourself some grace this week🤍xo

As as 17 year old that has to choose what to do with her life in the next few months, I appreciate this video and that you brought up this topic. Thank you

I’m so glad that you are able to see all the nuances of the post-grad life and can process it as you experience it. My post-grad days (also in NYC) were during a decade where the smooth transition was expected, and struggling was seen as weakness or even failure. Only years later was I able to see what you are already seeing. You are navigating it brilliantly, my young friend! 🤩

Currently 8 months post grad and I'm STRUGGLING im so overwhelmed with options of where life could go, finding full-time jobs/careers is sooo hard, and since everyone my age are in such different places in their lives it's so easy but damaging to compare where you are to them - me writing this after pulling an all nighter because I just spent 12 straight hours trying to figure out wtf I want to do next with my life

I'm also 23 and I relate to everything you said SO bad!!! I'm still a student tho, but I moved to another country when I was 19 and everything you just said made sense, I literally felt like I was the one talking 🙈 And about the part where you talked about your childhood town/home, when you said that you have your family there but there's nothing else for you there, I just wanted to say I know how you feel and it's not weird at all. My mom once told me the reason I'm feeling that way is cuz I used everything that could be offered to me by my home country and that's why the only thing I miss from it is my family and nothing else. It's good that you're feeling that way, it means you've grown and that you still want to grow and experience more stuff and that's always a good thing cuz well life has a lot to offer. 😍

I respect your honesty and work ethic so much. I appreciate that you show your process and beyond the scenes because I know that social media based work is not for me and I enjoy that I can actually physically leave my job and not think about it when I need to. A lot of pressure is put on us in our 20’s to be defined by our career or our jobs, especially if you are navigating the world as a single person. At the end of the day, all types of work will be there, but it doesn’t change us as people.

your talk at the end about how different it feels going back home resonated with me so much. everything that i've been feeling for the past couple of weeks and months was explained perfectly. this series is honestly amazing, love you!

If it makes you feel any better, I moved states away from my family so when I do see them I'm 100% way more present and I think that my time with them is way more valuable and cherished compared to what it would be if I lived in the area. Like when I was at home I didn't really cherish the time but now I am making valuable and cherished memories. Which I think is so much better than living there and being like "well I can see them whenever I want so I don't need to be sappy." Having that mindset of "I am only here for a couple of days before I go a month or so without them so I better make it count" really is super helpful for me. When I lived near them I didn't cherish them the way I do now and I think that making these moments more valuable than I did before gives me that justification that it's okay to be my own person. They raised me to grow up and find the life I want to live so I need to continue doing that, and in return I will give them 100% of my love and life when I do see them :)

12:10 YES. Someone said it. I am feeling like this since I graduated almost two years ago, even though I work full time

Something that helps me cope with things that bother me from the past is the realisation of how far I've come to think of those memories of really bad ones. I'm now in a much better place, and am making way better memories! Hope this helps a little bit :) love your videos! 💕

Hannah you have to be the most grounded, thoughtful youtuber I have ever watched. Keep making the content that you do, so many young people will benefit from your honest life perspective and I am so proud of you for recognizing that youtube isn't the be all, end all.

i will be graduating in may & im so excited. school is extremely challenging for me & does not mix well with my mental health. i already don’t have many friends so i am definitely worried ab making friends. thank you for this video Hannah! im very nervous ab post grad life but im so glad I have this video.❤

I'm seriously starting to feel the same way. I'll be graduating in April at 20 and I have no plan. No job lined up, nothing. I've been applying over and over and over again to positions, but nothing has worked out. I feel like all the work I've put in over the past 15 years hasn't mattered at all. It's nice to hear that I'm not the only one going through something like this, like they feel displaced (not that I'm saying it's a good thing lol!). I seriously enjoy watching your videos because I feel like I'm talking to a friend :))

when you were packing your things to go to your parents house, i related so much to what you were saying because our circumstances may be a bit different but the sentiment is the same. i really appreciate your honesty about your feelings towards going back to a place that is home but at the same time a place that brings back bad memories, i felt this way recently too. as you said, we need to focus more on the positives and remind ourselves that we are past that and that we’ve grown from it! watching the last few minutes of the vlog made me feel understood, I hope that with time this type of stuff becomes easier for us and I wanted to share this to say that you are not alone in feeling this way and I hope you know how helpful it is to hear someone (like you) talk about this stuff! 💗

I wasn't able to watch your last video right away when I went live, but I just wanted to say I'm so thankful for you and your uploads. You have such a beautiful, sweet soul. ❤️

Two seconds in and i already appreciate you so much for even broaching the subject. This is my second year post-grad and THE GROWING PAINS??👀 Me personally I struggle so much with comparing myself to my peers who I consider to be ahead (job wise, moving out, making big adult decisions freely etc) And as a creative (im a graphic designer) also trying to figure out your what direction to take in your career, making money to sustain yourself, the imposter syndrome is soo stressful. There are ups ofcourse but it's a very jarring and scary transition period. Looking forward to it getting easier with time though 🌼

Graphic designer here as well and I kinda sped up the post college experience by dropping out after a semester of sophomore year. But I finally found a job this March and I still don’t know what I want or Really what I’m doing but I know I’ll figure it out. I feel envious at times of my college friends because they look like they’re having so much fun. But I enjoy my freedom so much more after college.

I feel this so much, especially because I just graduated this past May and it’s been so hard finding a job in my field so I’ve gone back to retail and just feel stuck 😭.

You being happy and finding out what you want to do is probably how alot of people who watch you feel so hearing you speak about it is comforting. Unfortunately people are very perceptive and if your not content people can see it. Yout young go find out who you are or think you want to be your 20s are all about making mistakes and finding your passions. I love your videos.

So grateful that I found your channel 2 years ago. Hannah, you`ve grown so much! And also all comments are so nice and supportive)) I`m with everyone of you guys. We are not alone💜

I love this!! It is SO nice knowing I’m not the only one out there feeling all the same confusing feelings that come with growing up!

i have so much gratitude for you and this video hannah. thank you for making me not feel so alone ❤

i loved this video, you are my comfort youtuber for sure. even though i am not going through any of this at the moment, i always feel really comforted by these kinds of videos. love you hannah ♥️

you don't know how much i needed this video❤ this is always the best part of the day✨

It’s interesting to see this and think ‘wow, I think we all go through this’ and I think it’s less about the post grad and more about the age. I found at that 19-23 age range, I was in a limbo. I had gone to college but wasn’t happy and stopped shortly as I’d found a job doing what I loved. However, doing what you love when it’s a sport is risky, and dependent on others. I kicked off strong, but then the it faded and I was left in a quandary. But, within that time, I found that I was good at teaching and thus, found my career, which kicked off at 24. All I can say is enjoy being young. Enjoy every experience you can get and don’t think ‘I’m too old for this’ for those who might be at my age. Experiences have no time limit. Great video Hannah!

this is so timely. I graduate college in April and it's wild to think about how the rest of my life is just... uncertain lol.

I needed this so badly, that reminder that I'm not alone and I'm right where I'm supposed to be and that things will come my way. I am currently in the first year of my degree and it feels right and I have made a few friends. In regards to my hometown I do feel like I have outgrown it and the people in it, although my family are here I it doesn't feel like home to me anymore and would love to move out. Thank you Hannah and best wishes to you all, you got this💪🏼❤️

everything you touched on in this video was so refreshing to hear, because you're so eloquently spoken and deliberate with your words but also to hear someone feeling the same as i do, is so nice. there really is no rule book in your own life. having the courage to write them and break your own rules when necessary is such a learning curve and can be so difficult but is definitely a blessing too :) thank you.

I needed this video so much. The advice about making new friends and your vulnerability about everything. I can relate so much. Thanks Queen. Im (still) a real one

this video is so genuine, it made me feel comforted in a way 🥰

It feels so comforting that you feel the same way as me about going back to your home and home town. That's also how I'm feeling and the anxiety and I thought I was the only one. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you for making this video, I am about to graduate college in 2 weeks and this video helps lower the anxiety a bit. Especially since I always have to have a plan, this helped me realize that although it's good to think about your future, don't forget to enjoy the present. So thank you for that!

It makes perfect sense. And you're describing triggers. Those are so hard to control but something that might help is doing something there thats super special and memorable, like doing something priceless for your mom or doing something unforgetable with grandma, etc. That way when you come back home and those inevitable and unwelcomed triggers pop up now you can also have a great memory to replace those thoughts. (Learned that in therapy) lol which is a very mature and wise thing to do. Hugs!!!

thank you SO MUCH for putting into words what I have been feeling for the past few months

1000% agree with what you said. My whole “school” life I knew that the end when I was a senior and going to graduate that I was supposed to have an idea as to what I wanted to be or study or have a career in. Literally as the years went on and the more I thought about it all I could think was “How the hell am I supposed to know what I want to do for the rest of my life?”. Whenever I got asked what I wanted to do I never had an answer, and I still don’t to this day as a 24 year old. It’s still a question that I don’t have an answer for and it’s nerve wracking. All this is to say thank you for putting this out to the world, I knew I couldn’t be the only one out there, and I’m still searching.

I really love everything in this video! I love how you normalize these thoughts and emotions it’s so comforting and it reminds me that I’m not alone! You’re right we can have more than one home too! Home is where the heart is. I’ve loved watching your journey

I couldn’t relate more to this video Hannah! Transition and change is weird in life overall. I personally still feel weird being in college on a big campus. I also find comfort being surrounded by my family! Wish you the best going forward, you have worked so hard💕

This was the most realistic video ever. I needed to hear all of this more than I realized honestly. My life is very similar to yours right now and I appreciate you sharing so much of your life with us. :) Means so much really! 💜💙

I love hearing you talk through your thoughts and processing everything because it's like a free therapy session (hopefully you'll be able to see a real good therapist yourself tho!) sending hugs

I loove this talkative side of you and I’m living for this video💗💗

i couldn't relate more, seriously! the constant post grad stress was actually bothering me a lot as well and it feels very comforting hearing someone else talk about these

I've been enjoying these videos a lot more lately as I'm gonna be graduating soon. And definetely, not being a student anymore kinda scares me. You being honest and talking about your experience is really comforting

We are here for you and have some have supported you for YEARS. Any decision you make concerning your career, we support. I have personally lived to see you grow and find who you are and I think that's why a lot of people here. This is a family and you do what continually asks you to grow into a better person and asks you to use your gifts to its fullest potential. You have inspired me to live on my own after graduation and taking that next step. Love you and if no one else is here for you, I am. Praying for you girly! 😊❤️⚘️🎄

Hi Hannah! Long time watcher and huge fan, we actually graduated college at the same time, so these post grad/grad vids have been hitting SO hard. I can confirm this post grad weirdness sure is weird, and 100% not what I expected. It's like a rollercoaster Noone told you you were getting on. ❤️😂

How awesome that you’d like to look for a job besides youtube! I definitely think it’s very interesting to see how you navigate this path, I wouldn’t worry about people “picking words apart” if you discuss this, the mere fact that you wish to get into marketing because you’re so passionate about speaks volumes of your determination

bro. thank you so much for this vid. like you are truly speaking my exact thoughts. i’m 6 months post-grad and it feels like i’m in limbo because no one has ever spoken about what this part of my life is supposed to be and look like and i genuinely just never pictured my life at this point bc it was always college and then… nothing lmao. but thank you for your words, even if they seem jumbled because they’re clearly resonating with me and so so many others. it’s just really comforting to know that we post-grads are all going through a similar thing and where we are now is where we need to be. being present has become so so important to me this days just so i don’t spiral out of control about the future or past.

I am still in highschool, so this is great to hear you talk about this transition. It's good to remember that there are layers to moving out and it can be amazing but also really hard. Also, the ending is so sweet, we love you too!

you talking about jobs and your career is great! I love it:)

Man I relate to this a lot especially with going home for the holidays and the finding friends here in NYC I feel like it can be so hard 😢

it makes me respect you so much more, when you said that you really want another job and grow into the professional field of it!

Vibes immaculate, so real, relatable and comforting 🫶🏻🤍 as always big sis Hannah coming through

Not gonna lie I took about a year off from watching YT so came back to check on everyone. It was nice to see where you are compared to a year ago. Best of luck! You’re doing great!

Coming in BIG with that Fidelity sponsor. Much respect trying to get your viewers to invest

You’ve got a great head on your shoulders. Don’t doubt yourself. Ik it’s normal to and you’re human!! But, listening to your thoughts you’re so in-tune with yourself. Give yourself patience and grace. Great things will come. Idk if you’re one to pray but prayer helped me a lot during my transition period

Thank you for making this video. One year post grad here, and I couldn’t relate more to this! 🫶🏼

Your post graduate diary is pretty nice, Hannah! You’re the real one 🙂

Girl, I FEEL YOU on most of the sentiments shared in the video! I’m 10 years older than you (not that it matters, but…) and a lot of this still holds up! Especially about returning home and a lot of negative feelings and memories flooding in. I also moved to New York last year (June of 2021) and when I visited home (Chicago) for the first time I was like 🥴🫤🫠. It was weird. I think I’m much happier in New York because like you said, this place is new and has nothing to do with all those bad memories. Also, I LOVE your videos! I’ve been following you for at least a year now- I came across you when I was looking for “moving to New York” content and voila! lol. Also, pretty sure you have your shit together more than I do, and I’m in my early 30s. 😅 We out here just trying to do what we can, right? Keep up the awesome content! I always look forward to it 😊

i literally feel the same way. i moved out last year and this is my second year living on my own away from my family and when i go home it's like being a guest in my home that i grew up in! i also call both places home 😂 trust me, it's not just you thinking too deep bc i've literally thought the same SO many times

“Where I am right now is where I need to be” love it❤️❤️❤️❤️

I can relate so much to this video it’s so nice to see I’m not the only one who feels this way 🥺💜

One of my favorite videos ever

It was so hard for me to watch this vlog and feel every single thing that you said. Weirdly, there is someone far from me who thinks and feels the same as me. Now that I know I'm not alone in my thoughts and the situation I have. I'm thinking maybe it's meant to be like this, it has to be both feeling good and bad when we leave our parent's house. I've had such a hard time getting up every morning and realizing that I'm not in my room ( in my parent's house ) anymore. And now that I want to visit them and go back it's just hard to go through everything that I have just been there. It's just hurt when you go back and find out you're not there anymore. You're not part of that house anymore but it's still your home. It just hurts and is complicated to manage our taught and feelings. So, you're not alone.

this feels like I'm on FaceTime with a friend and I looooveee it!! maybe your next thing could be a podcast? I'd tune in for every episode

It’s normal that you want to apply what you learned in college in this new life- why else take college seriously? I’m excited to see you trying both!

I recently started following you and I love your content! especially post-grad, we need to talk about it more! thank you for this x

HANNAH! TAYLOR WROTE YOU’LL ALWAYS FIND YOUR WAY BACK HOME!!! ;) also the video was amazing! love you!

This was sososo comforting🥺🥺🥺as a post grad I feel so much of what u said and talked about

Another video that was much needed, thanks for talking about this❤

First of all I love how you rant because I do it the same way going back and forth about going home when it’s not really your home anymore. It’s such a weird feeling but being with your family is what counts. And exactly how I’ve felt about picking your job for your whole life. Makes no sense and most people have multiple careers / endeavors I feel like. I wish most of these thoughts weren’t instilled in us. Also of course college is important but it should be okay that some people don’t want to go to college. Don’t know if you’ll see this but I’d love to get a coffee with you sometime!

I'm just finishing my masters and just thank you for talking about this. Its crazy how major life changes like this are never talked about

This series is everything. Growing up myself, seeing you growing up, it all makes me soo happy and gives me the hope, that in the end, everything will be alright.🖤🥹 I know your fears about talking about jobs etc. I travelled some weeks before starting a job and felt super guilty to have the privilege to do whatever I want and take my time. Being a post grad is a big roller coaster. You‘re doing great girly. You‘re helping me so much to grow up. I‘m super excited to see what the future brings. Thank you. 🖤 Ps (I‘m also seeing a therapist since some months and it‘s really great. It helped a lot getting my thoughts sorted and to prioritize them. What is really important, what is just anxiety-bla bla. So yes I can fully recommend seeing a professional to talk to)

Hi, I'm graduating this month and still figuring out what to do next. I am very excited to start a new life, but it also freaks me out since I have no idea what to do next. Anyways, I always like your videos and can really relate to them. Thanks so much!

Thank you Hannah! 🖤

Hi Hannah!❤ First of all, I loved this video! I think it’s very important that you are sharing your whole post-grad and moving out experience to everyone, it helps a lot anyone who is passing trough the same! The way you talk and express your feelings is incredible! Also, I’m a psychology student and I really think everyone should go to a therapist, it will only do you good, it doesn’t mean you’re crazy or anything! And if you are feeling like you should and you have that will, then you definitely should try it out! Always remember that if you don’t like it, you can just leave (not all therapists are good for you!)! Anyways, I think it’s very good for your mental health, to recover from traumas or bad memories, honestly, just to get to know more about yourself and how you can deal better with your problems! Hope this is isn´t to personal! Take care! Please continue being you and I wish you all the best!

100% related to this. Loved hearing your thoughts about it

Thank you! I graduated college in May 2022 and it’s been good but there have been hard times. I’ve found myself comparing to old high school or college classmates.
