Coach bag: it appears in the video, and is a tote bag. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. Gentle Monster sunglasses: they appear in the video. Removing them would not change what happens in the video.

What are you guys studying?? Or want to study?? 👀📚👜📝 spend the first day of class at Oxford with me🤗 My name's Jenny and I go to Harvard and I'm studying abroad at Oxford. Today is the long awaited first day. I woke up and got ready for the day. I picked out my outfit. I made my bed, packed my bag. And it's time to head on out. I'm always open to recommendations. Someone suggested I try Opera Cafe. So I'm here catching up on my readings before class. I got a pistachio latte. I also got a salmon avocado toast. It's my first day. I'm treating myself. Thank you. What are you guys studying in college? Or what you guys want to study? Comment down below. My first class, it's an International Relations Class. Super exciting. I was a government kid in high school and then I headed off to my next class, which I'm taking the ethics of AI. Those two things are things I don't normally study at Harvard. But I'm here, let me know you guys want to see. Follow along for the journey!
