Ramble: Jenny @ College

Yeah, that was my problem in college!

Tracy Christenson

I watched this and I'm confused because like who has time for fun things when you've got homework and projects and studying

Tori

YOu can watch it if you click to watch it on youtube

is this not available anymore?

Loved this ramble! ☺️

Yarrow Bouchard

Which cult was it?

Steve Ray

i like when you tell stories about your life! we both went to a private catholic school despite not being catholic, so i feel you. mine was probably much bigger tho (DePaul in Chicago). luckily our required religious course could be ANY religious course, not just catholic themed. there was also a cult right off campus that had rumors of students getting abducted. our creepy statue was called "giant hands man" or "baby crusher hands" because his hands were like 1/3rd the size of his overall body lol.

Okay but the catacombs sound a lot like the movie US

Annie

I'm getting my degree in Psychology and also English!

August Dunphy

I haven't seen Descendants but I feel obliged to comment on behalf of a friend who LOVES them but also says they're TERRIBLE to say yes, you should do that. My friend enthusiastically says you should do that.

Julia Collins

I really hope a Dumbo video is on that list too

Whiskerbuns

I also have a Bachelors in Psychology I’ve never used. After graduating I sort of wandered into my first job and worked on my skills from there.

Her blank-bingo-card method is pretty close to actual CIA remote-viewing methodology. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07NZ82Y86/ref=atv_mv_hom_4_c_j8OFWx_brws_8_14" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07NZ82Y86/ref=atv_mv_hom_4_c_j8OFWx_brws_8_14</a>

If the Jenny we see in these videos is the bestial doppleganger version, imagine how friendly and considerate the original must have been.

Steve Ray

Hopefully you at least learned to be an effective communicator? That's an uncommon skill.

Josh Liller

If you had grown up Catholic, then you would have heard all of the stories over and over again over the years, in church and Catholic school classes. If not, you would probably have a lot of catch-up reading to do for a course like that. The teacher might have thought that non-Catholics took the course just to coast, and wouldn't be prepared for the extra workload. It probably wasn't a personal thing.

I think it's very on brand that you lead the charge into the catacombs, then lead the charge TF outta there.

But if theres ever any rock obstacles or climbing sequences you're screwed

Time out for Mr. Porg. Bad Porg!

So a haunted college has samples of your blood and a map of your brain? The catacombs are definitely filled with Jenny clones, that we are only safe from because they are all terrible at archery.

Neil Dutton

Did anyone else watch the movie Us (by Jordan Peele)? Because I’m not so sure if this Jenny is the real Jenny or her doppelganger. The construction of her school, with the underground tunnels and facilities that are “twin of the school”, and even urban legends about students getting lost down there and going mad...This is the exact setting of Us. And “Jenny” just said she had been down there before.

Hannah Q.

I graduated with a degree in writing and communication 10 years ago and I haven’t used it once. I’m now a software developer 🤷🏻‍♀️

Devin Beliveau

I hope Star Wars Land will have some kind of themed drink kiosk, like "Boba Fett's Boba Shack," where you can "Hunt Down All 8 Flavors" and get an official bounty hunter's badge.

Steve Ray

Thanks Jenny, good work! I noticed you seem to have really recovered well too.

Jonathan Baldie

This is best part of my day.

1000thghost

how about some Boba Fettucini?

dwayneotron

I'm leaving everything in the comments

Eric

lol your dissection story reminded me of my biological psych class (i was also a psych major, im actually just about to finish school!), we had to dissect a sheep brain and a cow eye. my lab partner was like you and really squeamish so i did all the dissecting while she filled out the worksheet.

Em

Boba Fett tea

Tim Ruckle

Yep, gone for me too - I know Patreon has plans to shake things up a bit with new “features” and so forth (‘cos 💵) so maybe it’s linked to that

Shred Cadmium

I also went to a small Catholic school that we compared to Hogwarts!

Meredith Sutton

Creative Writing BFA here. Basically, the best part of any writing degree is the workshop experience. Feedback is priceless, especially when it's from people who care about the craft as much as you do. It can enrich your writing a lot; but, it's not necessary to write in general, like you said. Do what feels right, man.

Jenny is a practitioner of Bingomancy.

Sinbad Dreamshaft

Making an activities list is such a simple yet brilliant idea! I'm going to get started on one right away to consult when my friends and I are bored. Thanks for the great suggestion!

Luis

been having a bad week and the notification for this video made my day!! thank you!

Trust me, the descendants films have A LOT to dissect. Easily a 45-1hr video honestly. I would love to see you do a video on it in a purple wig

Im actually considering going to a school that sounds like this (university of portland) so this was a nice ramble to hear. Thank, Jenny!

Hi, I'm kinda late to the Patreon party, but I'm loving the rambles I've watched so far (and “Twilight: The Musical” too!). Sorry this comment is so long (and, yes, rambling), but your question kinda struck a nerve… I graduated with a creative writing and literature-based degree back in the late 90s, and no I haven't really “used” it yet. For some reason I was insane/naive enough to think there was some sort of career ladder for writers... like, I'd get my degree and then apply to the BBC, and hey-presto I’d have a hit sitcom on TV! That is very much not how it works. Luckily, this was back in the mythical days when students here in the UK were actually *given* free grant money to study, rather than having to pay tuition fees themselves, so I certainly didn’t lose anything by going (and really enjoyed the experience, both on and off campus)… but I don’t think I really learned anything about writing that couldn’t be gained from repeated practice and “how to” books either. A college friend of mine went into teaching English, but I just ended up stuck in dead-end manual jobs, because writing’s basically all I want to do (even if nobody ever reads my work), and I can’t dredge up any enthusiasm for any other “career”. I wish I could have predicted how many new avenues for expression the internet was going to open up, and prepared accordingly… all those years I wasted typing/posting scripts into an uncaring void, when I could have been honing my prose to self-publish novels, or my doodling to make webcomics! Ack! Anyhoo, for what it's worth, you're one of my favourite presenters/critics across any medium, so it's crazy to me that convention/exhibition organisers aren’t chasing you to attend their events! Haven’t they seen the “My Little Pony Movie Premiere” video!? That was frickin’ adorable!

Graduate school is tough but rewarding. You learn a lot more about your chosen field in graduate courses than in your undergraduate ones.

MilesKaySolomon

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD Descendants needs a video, I'm pretty sure there's enough meat there

Timothy Morrise

You could definitely get a regular 5-day pass for Celebration! People sell them all the time in the facebook Celebration group. So disappointed if you can't go! :(

Lindsey N.

Makes me wonder if you have written for NaNoWriMo or whether your projects scale similarly, FiW and other scripted work.

Dundough Breadbox

Catacombs? Archery? Rock climbing? I think you missed your calling as a professional Tomb Raider.

Tobasco da Gama

I'm still holding out for a Kissing Booth video

Sarah Unan

Daniel Stephan

Pretty sure i've said that in another ramble but i SO want to see a descendants video

TalysAlankil

Catacombs? We've been dealing with Tethered Jenny since college apparently.

Blue Corn

Wow colleges in America sound so much fun!! Here in Europe they're just classes and exams :/ then again, they're so much cheaper here

Lucia Parks

Jenny, is there a chance we will ever get to read a published Jenny novel or story? I think it would be the first and only book written by a youtuber that I'd ever buy.

superb lobster

I have a bachelor's in English with a Writing Emphasis I got in 2015, and no, I haven't used it for anything professional. I never even picked up my degree, it's just still sitting in a file cabinet somewhere on campus. I just needed a 4yr degree in SOMETHING, as do we all, and I figured I may as well get it in something I enjoyed. I'm sure my fic readers appreciate the Absolutely Zero Impact it had on my writing.

The Doom Merchant

Writing school is a lot of critique and deadlines, which can lead to block. Robert McKee is all you need to read, IMO.

Lawrence Whiteside

Haunted catacombs? Robed midnight woodland gatherings around dilapidated religious iconography? Spontaneous trips to various spooky locations? So Jenny's just a horror movie protagonist whose time hasn't come yet, right?

Shaun Cheah

Yay! My first official ramble!

Those were some great stories! Wish I had done more things like that during my time at college. Also I really do hope Star Wars Celebration happens for you it would make a great vid!

Luis

Any day with a Jenny video is a good day.

Josh Liam

The answer to this months video ending question is: no...you don't usually end with a question.

Eric MacMillan

Dr. Nicholson, I presume. Why don't you just get some Rey goggles for Celebration? No one'll look twice and you'll be free to roam around the whole time like a normie: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Force-Awakens-Adult/dp/B00TP51460" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Force-Awakens-Adult/dp/B00TP51460</a>

the blood typing story has big Twilight energy

sarahserif

Middle of the way through, starting to sound like I'm being trolled. Medieval tapestries? Catacombs? 😂

Chris Dearing

Is it just me or did Patreon remove the Community tab? Anyway, hyped for the ramble but just wanted to mention that first.

Shaun Cheah

I have to wait to watch this bc the gf is around and I'm forcing her to become a patron if she wants to witness 👀
