**Vlogging: Imperfections and Progress**

In this recent vlog, I wanted to showcase my packaging process, but it quickly became apparent that perfection was not on the cards. As I began assembling the various pieces, I realized that the complexity of the task far exceeded what I had initially anticipated. The drawers, screws, and other components seemed to multiply before my eyes, leaving me wondering if I had bitten off more than I could chew. With only a limited amount of time at my disposal, I decided to give myself until 10:00 PM to complete the project, hoping that it would somehow magically come together.

As I worked on the packaging, I couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration and overwhelm. The task was proving to be more challenging than I had anticipated, and my usual enthusiasm for crafting was giving way to doubts and fears of failure. Despite these feelings, I refused to give up, knowing that this project would ultimately be worth it in the end.

The packaging process finally came to an end, albeit a bit later than expected. The finished product stood proudly on its own, a testament to my perseverance and creativity. I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment as I admired my handiwork, knowing that it would soon be put to good use in protecting delicate items.

**A Book Bag that Stands Up**

One of the aspects of this vlog that I was particularly excited about was the book bag that I designed. As someone who loves reading, I have always been on the lookout for a backpack or tote bag that can not only hold my books but also stand up on its own. This feature would allow me to easily access the contents without having to constantly adjust the bag's position.

In this vlog, I showcased the book bag in all its glory, proudly displaying it as if it were one of my prized possessions. As a small detail, I appreciated that the bag could stand up on its own, making it an ideal choice for students or professionals who need to carry books and other items with ease.

The book bag was actually shot a few days after what we just saw, so this part of the Vlog was more of a teaser. However, I wanted to give my viewers a glimpse into the final product, which I am thrilled to say is perfect in its simplicity.

**A Busy Life and Burnout**

As I continued with the vlog, I couldn't help but discuss the challenges that come with being busy. As someone who works 40 hours a week and has an online summer class, my schedule can be quite demanding at times. The lack of sleep was taking a toll on me, both physically and mentally.

I have to admit that for the past couple of weeks, I've been feeling burnt out. My life has been a whirlwind of activity, with little time for rest or relaxation. Despite having friends who care about me, it's been difficult to find time to socialize or engage in activities that bring me joy.

However, as I reflected on my life and the demands placed upon me, I realized that it was essential to make some changes. Whether it's through finding new hobbies, delegating tasks, or simply taking more breaks, I need to prioritize my well-being and find a better work-life balance.

**Supporting My Vlog and Merchandise**

As I continue to create content for my viewers, I want to ensure that you all know how much your support means to me. Recently, I finally launched some merchandise, which I hope will bring a smile to your face. The link to the merchandise is available in the description below.

If there's one thing I've learned from this vlog, it's that even with the best intentions, things don't always go as planned. However, with perseverance, creativity, and a willingness to adapt, I believe that anything is possible. Whether it's through my packaging process, book bag design, or simply trying to maintain a healthy work-life balance, I hope that you'll join me on this journey and support me every step of the way.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enI'm adulting your what's going on y'all so got a couple of new upgrades and before I even begin I hope you enjoyed that little cinematic highlight of my new washer and dryer set back here so with that I was just kind of testing out the Sony a6500 ability to record in 120 frames per second I always wanted to create like a cinematic highlight of something what better thing to do than to highlight something as basic as a washer and dryer so just trying to get a little bit more familiar with recording in slow motion another thing I'm really hoping that the audio on this sounds pretty good because right now I am recording with my n microphone from saniser it's known as the MK 440 so this is a microphone that I now have mounted on a cage on my a6500 but for your personal reference this is what it sounds like from the saniser microphone Sony a6500 this isn't the Sony a6500 this is a Sony a6300 but nonetheless I own both I got confused this is the audio from the Sony a6300 sanis a microphone internal audio of the Sony a6300 hopefully you all can hear a difference there so like I was saying this is my new washer and dryer unit thank you to Ken Moore for not only sending these out but also for sponsoring the video so yeah I'm pretty much adulting right now you know I remember a time in my life when I could care less about owning a washer and dryer but like as you get older certain things start having value that didn't have value before but with this I was actually like excited about getting it it's a smart washer and dryer it's their Elite option so not only is it smart but it also is huge it has the capability to like wash a full King set set if I wanted to and on top of that this is one of the best of the best so I'm going to probably throw some b-roll in here to show what I'm saying because in all honesty I don't really feel like getting up and messing up my camera angle that I have right here so I really like that I can actually now choose different wash modes like I can now sanitize my tiles in my washcloths or anything else that I feel might need to be sanitized and now I don't have to be limited by choosing large or small and now choose the type of articles in which I'm washing whether that be a comforter or anything else and then the other thing that I've been really enjoying about it is this thing called a cell wash I've never heard of it before so just the other day I was in a rush I needed to get some things washed and I was able to use a cell wash to cut down on the time it took to wash those things so it still gives it a good wash you're not going to sacrifice cleanliness here you're just going to allow yourself to save a little bit of time by reducing how long it takes to wash it just like the washer the dryer also has all these different modes and which you can choose from but I think the thing that really sets this off is the fact that I now have an app in which I can use to control the washer and dryer so within the app I can do things like see when my last cycle completed I can also come in here and choose to start the washer or the dryer which is really handy because you know there are times where I have actually at least gotten the load of clothes into the washer dryer but forgot to hit start like yeah I get sidetracked sometimes and I don't think I'm alone on that so if you're the same way this right here is a feature of super clutch for me that I'm enjoying but overall everything has thus far been working pretty smooth so yeah I'm really loving the new units uh so Kim more you did good but outside of that I have a couple of other upgrades um I also now have these camera bags from than tank I'm not going to go in an in-depth review about these right now but I have two variants this one is the lens bag and then the other I forget the model name of this one but I'll throw it up in the video and I'm going to throw everything that I'm talking about in the video including the washer and dryer Down Below in the description box so that you can check it out if you want to but this right here um is another option they offer but I have been carrying both of these around to have some of my camera gear for certain shoots that I've been doing and things like that so I'm going to be doing a whole video on that this month regarding my camera gear and you know my setup and all of that and lastly the other thing that I'm going to be doing a video on is how to start a YouTube channel uh I've had questions from you all I've had questions from my family and friends uh soet cam Smitty if y'all are watching this know that you highly influen this decision but I feel like a lot of people um are you know interested in how to start YouTube channel and maybe I could shine some light on my path and the things that I've done and the resources I've used so that you all too can follow your passion and starting a YouTube channel or something of that nature but I don't know if it's going to be a series or if it's going to be just like a couple of videos here and there but it's really going to all be gauged on the interest of you all so if that is something that you want to see make sure you're subscribed and also make sure you let me know down in the comment section but yeah let's see what I've been up to so I got a couple of packages in the mail and I figured I'd just unbox them and let you kind of get my initial reaction and impression of them before I review some of these um some of them I won't lie I have opened got this in the mail which I'll be reviewing so either that's on the channel and I'll link it below which is basically the ring flood light so yep that's coming soon this is a desk in progress that I just I can't find the patience to deal with okay
