1
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Hey guys, and welcome back to another week of Giadiaries.

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: Today we are going to reflect on Next Gen NYC.

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: I can't believe it, but our first season has come

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: to an end. I think this season on Next Gen

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: NYC has taught me a lot of lessons. It was

6
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: very different being in the front seat rather than being

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: in the back seat behind my mom on The Real

8
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: Housewives in New Jersey. And I also think there were

9
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: different roles being played that I had to get used to.

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: On the Real Housewives in New Jersey. I was my

11
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: mom's right hand man. I was the voice of reason.

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: I always tried to give advice and help her and

13
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: myself through personal situations. Growing up, I was always in

14
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: mom mode from when I was fifteen years old even

15
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: before that, just being an older sister, it's very natural

16
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: for you to take on a lot more responsibility than.

17
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: Your younger sisters.

18
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: So then throughout my life, with everything my family has

19
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: gone through, I've had to take on a lot more

20
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: responsibility in my household.

21
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: Which has always.

22
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: Made me go into mom mode. Even sometimes with my friends,

23
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: I always try to make sure that they're not getting

24
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: in trouble, and if they are in a situation, I

25
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: will defend my friend till the end. I never like

26
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: to see my friends upset. I never need to. I

27
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: never like to see my friends upset. I never like

28
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: to see my friends hurt. And I get very protective.

29
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: So when we were sitting at that dinner table in

30
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: Atlantic City, I honestly thought that Riley was gonna come

31
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: off as rude, and I didn't want her to look

32
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: like that on camera, so I was trying to protect her.

33
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: But then I just need to realize that it's not

34
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: my place and I'm allowed to let situations just play

35
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: out how they're supposed to play out. Because in the end, Riley,

36
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: you were so right and there was no need for

37
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: me to insert myself. And like Arianna said, you know, Gia,

38
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: just shut the up sometimes. Yeah, sometimes I need to

39
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: just shut the up. So it's totally okay and totally normal.

40
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: And this was a learning lesson. And I was definitely

41
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: a little harsh towards Riley and Georgia when I told

42
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: them to shut the cup at the dinner table in

43
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: Atlantic City.

44
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 2: When we were at Ocean's Casino.

45
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: I don't want you guys to think that I was

46
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: defending Charlie because throughout the season, and as you guys saw,

47
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: there was never really a time where I was told

48
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: about the Georgia and Charlie situation where they sat down

49
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: in New York City and Charlie went off on her

50
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: and said horrible things.

51
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: I was unaware of.

52
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: That situation, which is why I reacted like that in

53
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: AC because I was just like, come on, guys, the

54
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: kid's here, and I know he's not a kid.

55
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: I know he's almost thirty, very aware, but.

56
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: I kind of just wanted everyone to chill, relax, just

57
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: eat dinner, let this go. And as the season progressed,

58
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: you also saw that Charlie and Georgia have made amends

59
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: and they are friends again. So that was a point

60
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: in time where I should have just kept my mouth

61
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: shut because obviously things unfold and things.

62
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: Play out how they're supposed to play out in.

63
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: The end, and me saying shut up really didn't make

64
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: an effect. Charlie and Georgia are still friends again. So

65
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: fast forwarding to AC, when I planned that Italian dinner,

66
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: I should have been an active listener instead of trying

67
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: to mitigate the situation, and by doing that, I almost

68
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: made it worse. So I was never trying to make

69
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: Riley feel less than herself or make her feel like

70
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: she couldn't say her opinion, because truth be told, Riley's

71
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: opinion was one hundred percent correct. I don't think Club

72
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: Club was a very good idea either, and Riley voiced

73
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: that and she was right. So I think throughout this

74
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: season of Next Gen, I did a lot of self reflecting.

75
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: I realized that I don't always need to insert myself

76
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: into situations. Sometimes being silent is better than trying to

77
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: make the situation better, because sometimes I'm not always making

78
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: the situation better. And if we get a season two,

79
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to showing you guys more about

80
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: my career and showing you guys really who I am.

81
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: And I think this season of Next Gen was not

82
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: the best reflection of who I truly am in the workplace,

83
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: what I do every day, and how I treat my friends.

84
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: You guys saw me really sticking up for Ariana during

85
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: the Ava situation, sticking up for Brooks during the situation

86
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: between him and Charlie, and I don't regret sticking up

87
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: for my friends, but I also think I could take

88
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: a step back and not insert myself as much so

89
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: I know I wear my expressions on my face, but wow,

90
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: this season of Next Gen, I did not realize how

91
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: much you could read how I was feeling without me

92
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: even opening my mouth. So my eyes they need to chill,

93
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: they really need to chill. I'm actually so happy that

94
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: they showed little clips in the finale that they didn't

95
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: get to show throughout the season, like the double date

96
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: between me, Christian, Ariana and Hudson. It was such a

97
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: cute date and I wish you guys got to see

98
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: a little more of that. And of course they only

99
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: showed the part about when Christian and I are getting

100
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: engaged and four years that's an exaggeration. I know Christian

101
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: doesn't feel that way now, and I really don't think

102
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: he felt that way then, so I don't know why

103
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: he said four years. But think about it, that was

104
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: a year ago.

105
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 2: Now we're down to three years.

106
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not that far off, So you know,

107
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: I feel like it's very normal when you start dating

108
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: so young. We are still so young, so we're just

109
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: figuring out life and figuring out our next steps one

110
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: day at a time. And yeah, so maybe it is

111
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: four years. Maybe you were a right Christian I mean,

112
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: he is the one proposing to me, so I guess

113
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of on his timeline, right. So I'm really

114
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: excited if Next Gen is fortunate enough to get a

115
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: season two to really show you guys how I'm going

116
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: to grow and evolve, because this group has definitely taught

117
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: me that and I am so so grateful for that.

118
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm also excited to show you guys more into my

119
00:07:54,200 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: career and my relationship and steps that I'm taking in

120
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: my life, maybe moving closer to New York City.

121
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: Everything happens for a reason.

122
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: This show was definitely a blessing and I am forever

123
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: grateful for it, and it also has taught me a

124
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: lot of lessons, So thank you.

125
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: Next ten
