The Lizzie Bennet Diaries

Hello everyone. As you know, my incredible older sister

has landed herself an equally incredible new job in New York.

She's found a friend’s couch to crash on while she apartment hunts

and she leaves, can you believe it, tomorrow.

Hi everyone. I’m so sorry I won’t get to see you anymore.

But unlike previous videos, I am not going to be all depressed and mope-y at your leaving.

Instead, today is Jane Bennet’s going-away party.

We're going to recount all our favorite Jane moments

and Jane hairstyles and send her off in style.

That’s so sweet.

- My name is Lizzie Bennet. - And I’m Jane Bennet.

And we are… Hang on.

Bing? - Hey Lizzie. I hope you don’t mind.

But I need to speak with Jane.

- It’s okay Lizzie, we’ll be fine. - Okay.

- It’s good to see you, Bing. - You too.

Jane, I saw the latest video.

Were you gonna tell me? - Yes.

- Before you left? - Of course.

I was just nervous. - Why?

- Because I wanted to avoid this. - Avoid what?

Saying goodbye, me asking you to— - Exactly.

I couldn’t have you asking me to stay.

This is a really incredible opportunity. There's no way I'm gonna miss it.

How unfair would it be for you to ask that of me.

- Jane, I wouldn’t— - This fresh start, it’s not enough for me to just give up my career.

Jane. I’m not asking you to stay.

I'm asking if I can go with you.

What?

- I quit med school. - You quit med school?

- A couple of months ago. - Why?

I was heading to a lecture one day and I suddenly realized...

I didn’t want it. Any of it.

And then I went to a café and I was staring at a cup of coffee for eight hours

trying to remember why I wanted to be a doctor.

And then I realized it was never really my choice.

My family wanted me to be a doctor and I wanted my family to be happy.

But I wasn't happy anymore.

I can't even remember the last time I was happy.

Until I remembered you.

But I didn't even listen to what I wanted then either.

I was happy with you too.

Jane, when I watched your sister's videos, I was ashamed.
