 Hey guys what's up my name is Sonali and today I'm going to be filming a little life update for you guys. I feel like I haven't been posting too much lately on my YouTube channel and literally like the last half of last year I posted twice a week so I was definitely on my grind and I honestly truly don't know what's happening to me but I'll kind of explain a little bit of that later and I also thought I would throw in a Q&A so stay tuned for that. So if you're new to my channel I go to the University of Central Florida and I'm a senior so this is my last semester and that's kind of why everything is just going crazy and like I don't even know what's happening with my life because I'm this close to being in the real world and it is super terrifying and I just don't even know what to think like I feel like I'm in denial about getting like a real job um well I have I have a bunch of jobs I'll get into that actually I guess we'll get into it now so technically this is a job YouTube is a job I mean it takes time and I feel like anything that takes time and you get a little bit of income out of it is a job in my mind so technically yes this is one of my jobs. My second job is I am a freelancer for photography and videography and I have been getting so many gigs lately and I don't even know how because usually I get all my photography gigs like at the end of the semester when it's grad season time like people need grad photos um but I've been getting a lot of like video gigs especially um so I've been doing a lot of that recently which is super exciting because obviously that's more to add to my portfolio and each time I make a video I feel like I just get better and better. Third job I have is that I'm an intern for the UCF social media team and what I do there is I create content for their YouTube channel so it's kind of like more student-based lifestyle content that's what I like to call it so you can go on UCF's YouTube channel and they have a playlist called the campus nights and I took over that series so that's what I do now there and that's really fun because it's literally basically what I do for my YouTube channel it's like planning out the content reaching out to people um and resources to collab with on campus writing out like scripts and stuff like that so it's definitely a job that I'm used to and I'm comfortable with and I've been entering with them ever since um last semester so I'm just doing another semester of this internship and last but not least I just recently started my fourth job and that is working for the app called ZUP if you guys go to UCF you probably know and you probably heard a party tutor well they rebranded to ZUP and it's still pretty much the same app you get a bunch of discounts on cover on restaurants you get free food sometimes and it's just a really great deal for five books a month so highly recommend getting that app because it saved me a lot of money so I work for them as their digital content coordinator and I've been having a lot of fun with that too because I've been playing around in After Effects more and making a whole bunch of videos for them I recently just um made a scavenger hunt video which is like super fun you should definitely go watch it it's on their um Instagram so it's ZUP underscore UCF so long story short I have four jobs right now and it is a little bit overwhelming because once I get off from my internship at UCF I go and work for ZUP and then once I do that I maybe do some freelance projects and then once I do that I you know edit videos for my own youtube so that is why I have not been posting lately because all of my jobs are editing videos so you can kind of just like think about how burnt out I feel by the end of the day doing all those three jobs and then coming back to my youtube channel doing the same thing that I've been doing all day and not to say I don't love video editing because I 100% do I literally have three videos that I have filmed but I just cannot bring myself to edit it for my own youtube channel because once I get home I just want to go to sleep or I just want to maybe watch one Netflix show or watch youtube videos or just like relax for like a second I remember telling my mom and like my boyfriend like I don't want to get a job like I don't want to do that I don't want to like have a traditional job I just don't want to work like blah blah I just want to like you know do anything else but work and now I have four jobs so that's that's interesting I definitely think that if I put in all this work right now and give my full potential to each of these jobs that I will have like a good amount of experience to get a real job so I'm pushing through I'm also making money so that's you know that's nice so if you're wondering why I haven't been posting on youtube that's the exact reason I just sometimes cannot bring myself to edit one more video at the end of the day but I am going to try to make like you know specific days to edit and just kind of like push through because I do love like uploading to youtube and I love filming and I love editing but you know I just do so much of it right now that it's just like I need a break so I don't know if you guys can notice right now but I do have sort of a list right now it's not like horrible it definitely was way worse but the reason for that is that I got invisible trays so I'm pretty much have Invisalign but they're the off brand it's um the brand called ClearCorrect and I'm so excited guys because I have been literally looking at my past pictures where I just got my Invisalign off and my teeth were so straight so basically I had Invisalign my senior year of high school I got them off and then I got my wisdom teeth out maybe like two summers ago and by that time they really like messed up my teeth and my teeth were just so crooked after my wisdom teeth came in so I definitely wanted to get them fixed up a little bit just because I feel like teeth are really important to me and I want to have nice teeth and honestly if I had all the money in the world right now I would go straight to getting veneers because I definitely think that I want to do that you know later in life if I do have the money but right now I'm just going to fix them with my invisible trays so that is why I have a list right now um I have a video up on just like kind of talking about the process of getting them on um and I actually put in my second tray and it did not hurt as bad as the first one so I think it'll be a smooth sailing process from here I can already feel my teeth getting so much straighter I think I have like more than a year to go but I think it'll be worth it so spring break is in less than I don't even know like six weeks or something like that me and my best friends are going on a cruise and I am a little bit nervous because I've never been on a cruise I've literally been on every other transportation that you could possibly imagine but not a cruise I just remember growing up and my dad would always say like he never wanted to go on a cruise because he would feel like he was um trapped I kind of had that ingrained in my brain so I'm a little bit nervous about that um and I don't even know how cruises work I mean luckily like all of my best friends have gone on cruises before so they can kind of like guide me through it we're going on a royal Caribbean cruise and I we're going on a we're going on a royal Caribbean cruise so I think that's one of the nicer ones let me know in the comments if you guys have ever been on a royal Caribbean cruise I think that's pretty much all I have to catch you guys up on right now um overall my head is a little bit everywhere I'm a little bit stressed because there's just so much coming up that I know it's gonna hit me right in the face and I'm gonna be even more stressed about it when it comes for instance I'm filming my sororities recruitment video and philanthropy video again um and then grad season and I'm gonna get probably the most clients I've ever gotten because it is my like graduating class so they're more likely to book with me if that makes sense oh I hope so um and then what else I don't know well finding a job that's gonna be insane but let's get straight into the Q&A first question is do you use any teeth whitening your teeth are so white I don't really use teeth whitening stuff that often um if I do it's just a off brand whitening strips because you know I don't really want to spend all that money on crest even though I love crest but I just can never bring myself to it but I actually just got this whitening gel that came with my invisible trace I personally don't think my teeth are like super white I mean I don't drink coffee really so maybe that's why but thank you the next person said I study the same major as you do you have an idea of where you want to work after okay this question is like half of the questions that are in my q&a they're basically just asking what I want to do after college you I know where I want to work all that jazz and I have no idea literally I have no idea I mean you guys probably have known this because I think I said it like a billion times in my other videos but I don't know at all um Ryan is currently applying for like a hundred billion jobs like he's on his grind and I'm very proud of him and my mentality is kind of to see where he gets a job and then apply where he gets the job and you guys might think I'm crazy but we have literally been dating for six years now so I'm not that crazy I'm I know that like I want to spend you know the rest of my life with him and I know I'm going to go wherever he goes because I don't really have anything like holding me back does that make sense I don't know so I'm kind of just waiting to see where he gets a job and hopefully that'll be soon and then I can start looking for jobs wherever he does our original plan was to move back to Atlanta live at our parents houses for like two years max um and save up money for like a house or something like that but plans might change and you know I don't know so it might be a new city um and I'm kind of like hoping for that just because I moved to Orlando like not wanting to come here at all like I wanted to stay in Georgia but I ended up loving it here and I feel like I could love another city just as much and I just feel like now is the time to like live somewhere else and maybe come back to Atlanta so we don't really have a finalized plan but plans could change and yeah I guess that's all I'm gonna say the next person asked what got you into photography and film honestly I feel like YouTube got me into it because I would obviously film on a DSLR and then I would obviously go and edit in my iMovie or Final Cut and then I would just slowly start to invest in more things from my own YouTube channel and I kind of just thought like oh this could be fun to like actually kind of make your money back on those investments I remember really getting into photography when I was a senior in high school because I did some senior pictures of some of my friends they honestly turned out pretty well for like some of my first shoots and then coming to college I started a blog and I kind of just knew what I wanted from my photos so that kind of gave me the eye for other people's photos and then I went to become VPPR of my sorority so that deals with public relations and so that kind of got me into photography more taking pictures of sisters and then obviously filming for the recruitment video I feel like all my experiences in college and high school kind of just led me to this and I'm so thankful for that because I don't know what else I would be doing if I didn't like love this stuff someone asked what age you want kids when I was younger I wanted to be a young mom like I literally thought I was gonna have kids at 22 guys I am 22 that is insane I'm like living in a sorority house I'm still in college I don't know why I ever thought that and I remember telling my family that I wanted to be a young mom and they would like freak out they would be like no that is not okay like you need to have a job you need to have stable income like and obviously growing up like I kind of like realized that that's not you know realistic and practical and honestly like I feel like I want to have kids way later in life not way later but like later in life because I want to like focus on myself focus on my career focus on making that money and then maybe like think about it so I'm not a hundred percent sure but I definitely want to have kids by like 32 or like 30 I don't know I don't know I feel like today's generation is so different too because my mom had me and my sister at like 24 and 26 but I feel like it just keeps getting later and later so who knows someone asked did you always know what you wanted a major in before if not what made you realize so actually I changed my major I think it was like freshman year so it wasn't that crazy like I didn't change it like my senior year I was originally electronic journalism and kind of my dream job at that time was being Juliana Rancic on e-network I was and I am obsessed with e-network and just like entertainment hosting I thought that's what I wanted to do and I think that still could be like a really fun job um but then I started to realize like I don't I don't really like journalism so I switched to radio television um and then I just went the generalist track you could have done production which I probably should have because it seems a lot cooler but I just went the generalist track I feel like I've gotten most of my experience outside of the classroom I'm gonna be honest like I love school I love UCF and it's given me so many opportunities outside of the classroom so I'm very thankful for that this one says where do you see your youtube channel in the future I don't know I'm like struggling right now because I feel like y'all only click on my videos if it says college in it and in a semester I'm not gonna have that advantage to put like college in my title because that's just weird if I make college videos like after I'm in college so I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do after college with my youtube um I definitely want to like vlog a lot more um when I get home like especially moving vlogs because I'm going to be moving into my dad's and that's like not even decorated yet so I have like all that to film for you guys um but literally after that I have no freaking ideas so if you guys have any ideas for like after college videos like let me know in the comments because I'm stressing this girl asked what's your favorite thing about being a senior in college I think what's so cool about being a senior is just having that like hopeful attitude about just like starting a new chapter in your life like it's just like a whole different chapter like you're done with school like at least for me because I'm not doing grad school somebody asked when are me and Ryan tying again when I was younger I wanted to just do everything so young and I thought I might be married by now obviously because I thought I would have kids at 22 so I probably would have been married before 22 which just doesn't make sense I feel like I don't want to get married right out of college I feel like there's so many reasons why I won't get into all that I feel like I definitely want to wait like minimum two years after college but I also don't want to wait like forever so I guess it just all depends on Ryan next person asked are you going to miss being a sorority when you graduate and a hundred percent I'm going to miss it I don't know what I'm going to do with myself because I feel like this was such an easy way to make friends because we all had this like common bond of being in the same sorority so it's going to be like a little bit tough for me to make friends out of college and I'm a little bit worried about that because I feel like having girlfriends for me is a really important part of my life and when I move back I feel like I'm really only going to have Ryan and like a couple friends um but yeah I'm a little worried about making friends after college so next I got a couple of questions about my religion one said what is your religion and one said would you consider yourself being religious so I am Catholic my dad's a Hindu but my mom and my dad raised me as Catholic as much as I don't want to say this I don't really consider myself religious like I pray you know ever so often but I don't really go to church so I don't want to like lie to you guys and say I'm like super religious but I definitely do believe in God so the next question is what is your go-to drink at the bar I would say anything with tequila in it I really like tequila sours tequila sprite like literally just anything with tequila in it usually I drink tequila like it's a pregame so I like to like keep with it as the night goes on my friend Kailin asked me are you gonna let your hair get really long again or keep it shorter I don't know I know like a lot of people like my hair when it was short but I always like want it longer because ponytails and just like curling it and styling it I feel like it looks like so pretty long but then there's just that line of like it being too long and like being healthy I feel like I'm just gonna go through this like circle of my hair life all the time like cutting it short wanting it long growing it long cutting it short I feel like I like the length right now it's not like super short it's not super long so maybe I'll keep it like this but I don't really feel like the need to get a haircut anytime soon the next person asked do you wonder what it would be like dating another guy because you've dated ryan for so long I just like wonder like how different my life would be sometimes because I feel like ryan has impacted my life so positively that I wonder like what a wreck I would be if I didn't happen in my life you know like that's like I feel like that's a little bit cliche but like you guys don't understand like ryan has been there through like everything and I'll be completely honest with you guys I feel like there's no other guy out there that can put up with all my shit so I'm very very very thankful to have ryan in my life the last question of the q&a is in the future where do you see yourself permanently living I feel like even if we move to a different city after college we would definitely come back to Atlanta sometimes I think I'm a little bit biased because I have lived there my whole life but then I think like so many people from the outside want to come to Atlanta like it's a cool city to be in and there's just so many suburbs outside of it that are like really nice and safe and you know good to raise a family I'm pretty sure my city Roswell is like top 10 of like the safest city so live in so I definitely think that we come back there it's just that we kind of just want to experience something a little bit different for like a little bit so I hope you guys enjoyed my life update I hope you guys don't hate me for not posting as much as last semester but it's all for good reason I just need a little bit of a break sometimes um but I do want to get back on the grind I'm gonna try really really hard but if it doesn't happen it's because I'm working a lot and I'm sorry but I will see y'all in my next video bye
