    This is the best college advice video i've ever seen, as a rising senior who literally went thru these EXACT SAME EXPERIENCES when covid hit I can say 100% that this entire video is absolute gold

    Nina, when you said "We are all capable of achieving so much" tears started coming out of my eyes because I am literally in the trenches right now. I'm in 2nd year of my CS + Econ degree and it just feels like EVERYONE is doing better than you. But this video is a good reminder that it's just all in our heads.

    The not being able to get close with close friends is so real. I would put in so much effort and be so committed to people I don’t necessarily vibe with like that. Now that I’m in college not going to be making that same mistake

    Lemme tell you, having someone you know in certain situations are very helpful. I remember I was super nervous for baseball practice and I knew a person and met her friend and no I didn’t make the team but it made me feel SOOOO much better.

    Something that I also do on the first few days of the semester is to put down all my homework, exams, and other important events in my calendar. It's my daily reminder of what I have to do. Check that shit everyday and you'll be aware of what's to come

    3:33 💯🤯 YES! I was almost in tears. Right, during the pandemic, we couldn't be on campus anymore and my "friend circle" became non-existent. That was eye-opening.

    The last tip hits me hard. It's only been the first year, but every time I reflect my college experience, I realize I didn't go through with exploring things that I found interest in. I thought to myself I valued spending time with friends I've been kinda close with over some little clubs. In the end, I felt my experience was so incomplete and pointless. It makes me realize how I have to balance my priorities next semester.

    The Majority of your Organisation's are Charades. You can't compete with Giants. So you're merely Assemblers.
    However, Assemblers do need to be educated to correctly configure software.
    What You need to do is Teach "Scratch/Sonic Maker" at GCSE High School Level (Age 13). Then Java at the Harvard Level at University.
    Then in Industry, they'd be able to Start off doing the Smaller Jobs. After a few Years, they'd be Able to do Complex things.

    My school is starting in 2 weeks, any advice on how to naturally make friends without approaching someone and unknowingly seeming as if I have some ulterior motive. Since covid I have not attend school in almost 2 years, so it's a bit daunting u see. Any advice is appreciated ty :)

    • @khoichuvids
      @khoichuvids Před rokem +4

      approaching someone doesn't give off the vibes of ulterior motives. Just be friendly, but not too friendly. Then it seems fake and ulterior

    • @timwong580
      @timwong580 Před rokem

      Nina it’s important wat u do the time after u graduate. Employers don’t like to see gaps in the time immediately following school graduation! Maybe you can have a serious talk with your parents or family as they know u best. I wish I listened to my father when he told me to get any job after I graduated from college.
