I love how just about every comment on these videos are all well thought out, complete sentences, with great grammar and spelling and almost NO cuss words or things that RESEMBLE actual words, unlike most other videos. Coincidence? I think not.
Rivera Familia Funny story, I was in my American Sign Language class one day, and someone was trying to spell "neurological" in ASL, and the person they were "talking" to said "never mind, no one can spell that". I happened to be sitting next to a mom who is homeschooling her kids, and I spelled neurological in ASL, without even really thinking about it. She said "homeschooled" and we high-fived. Oh, and her 14 year old homeschooled daughter is already taking college classes.
wut doo u meen.wee tipe good? wut on erth r u thinking
Fuck
You summed up one of my best friends (who was homeschooled) with the sentence "Princess Bride, Doctor Who, Adventures in Odyssey." spot on. On a very creepy level.
"Can we maybe have two classes in one day?" I laughed so much!!! Oh my goodness, that was so good. I almost shed tears. 10 out of 10 on this one, guys.
this video applies to a homeschooler who started at a public high school for the first time as well. Trust me.
same, totally agree!
Or you could go to a christian college, and then everyone seems to be homeschooled.
Then you BETTER find a spouse!😂🙄
When I graduated from Highschool, I took a year off and then
I went to college :D My point is that I broke the age old stereotype of the century,
that people who take a year off never go to college,
But now I'm going to college and I'm glad to be taking classes
AND OH YEH, I WAS HOMESCHOOLED TOO!
HAHAHHAHAHA >:D breaking stereotypes like a boss
+Mister-Monster-Riy-mite I'm doing the exact same thing now. ^^ And yep I was home-schooled. :)
I, uhhh... Go to public school... And...ummm will probably not take a gap year before college... Er...
Leaving now.
How did you get into college without a degree? I'm asking because I'm looking into. I'm getting ready to apply.
Doing Gap years is a common European thing to do. You can earn College credits[200+ AP/CLEP, DSST etc], while working with NGO's like Doctors w/o boarders -> gain life experience to add to Bachelors before Medical School. See this how-2 talk, I gave on the Future of Education: czcams.com/video/B5mvQfjeBYE/video.html
Harvard & MIT's www.edx.org/course?search_query=ap [help with AP/CLEP Free] also worldmentoringacademy.com
This comment made me so confused because I thought gap years were seen as a positive and common thing.
As a homeschooler who went to college... biggest challenge was finding a social group! Apparently, that's a skill like everything else, and it's tough to learn when you grow up with just your family and a handful of friends you've known for years.
Trust me it has nothing to do with being homeschooled. Some people just find it easier to make friends. I went to public school and still had a hard time with it. Even today I still do.
yeah, I feel the same way, making friends is definitely a social skill. I went to public school and it took me a really long time to figure out how to make friends.
My social skills basically suck. But I did want to be homeschooled by really nice people I didn't live with(or know), no idea who they'd be though...
Sup, I have about 2 friends, why do I have 2 friends, you ask? Well it's because I'm 14, and in college and I have a habit of leaving a trail of destruction, where ever I go.
Yeah. I don't know what I'm doing. I feel like a hermit doing online uni.
No pajamas... Nope, i cant do it. Mom, can you teach me college too??? I'll even do my homework....XD
Also, WHAT'S WITH EVERYONE THINKING HOMESCHOOLERS WEAR PAJAMAS TO CLASS???? Seriously, I've homeschooled for most of my 13 years and never once have I done schoolwork in my pajamas, that I can remember.
Half the time I don't brush my hair OR change before school... It's true for most homeschoolers. Pajamas to school is my life
Same. i am in college now but i used to be homeschooled and i never was allowed to be in my PJs inless i was sick
I was homeschooled as well and doing school in pajamas was only allowed when I was sick and had to do school in bed.
HAHA! DEfinitly the Princess Bride, Doctor Who and Odyssey!!
Homeschooled. Graduating highschool next year, and taking classes at a nearby college. I'm have my credits before i'm even officially a freshman. :)
in german university it's the other way round: You gotta make your own schedule, you ask your profs if you can start classes earlier or later, you musn't ask wether you can leave the class, you don't even have to come to any class as long as you're passing your finals.
But we do have the parties, and the bad cafetaria food.
honestly you don't HAVE to go to class or ask to leave in American universities...it's just frowned upon. Besides, when you're paying 25-50 thousand dollars a year to go to college, you're going to stay in and get your money's worth!
Thanks for commenting this! As someone who's interested in going to Germany for college, it's nice to know.
Incidentally, the college I am attending is almost 80% composed of homeschoolers...
Wut college
I want to go too.
I was stereotypically homeschooled...yes, I accidently called the teachers "mom" more than once, and had to explain it to them and the class.
It's AWESOME you are wearing a Sparks vest :D...though you probably shoulda wore your JV shirt instead ;)
I wore my PJ's to class anyway! And yes, I was very sheltered, my homeschool (although in California) was licensed through a Christian group, and I never even had to learn about evolution. A lot of subjects were completely over my head (a "open relationship" means people know you're dating right? And a "friend with benefits" is someone who you're only friends with because you like them for their stuff/toys/car, right? RIGHT!?!)
adogownsmyheart i am not sheltered because i have 3 older siblings that have gone into/out of college. But i get it.
adogownsmyheart sheltered isnt always a bad thing...
Agreed. I think I grew up a lot happier than the other kids at dorms. First time I heard "friends with benefits" and asked if that was the technical term for someone you're only friends with because you like their stuff, I think I dumbfounded them. One said she wished she had thought that's what it meant.
adogownsmyheart
i think that there is a difference between sheltered from being evil and sheltered like never being out of the house ever! but there definitely has to be a happy medium
i am homeschooled but NOT sheltered.
Wow.. This'll be really helpful when I get to college in about 4 years. Gotta get through high school first.
I never thought I would ever look forward to a Monday!! This video was actually helpful! You are awesome! As in inspiring awe!!!
I love that you said to bring up The Princess Bride, Doctor Who or Adventures in Odyssey! :)
doctor who is a public school thing too
"YOU. ARE. SHELTERED!!" "And you're an idiot" my words exactly..
lol I was homeschooled all the way through to the end of high school, and I think the biggest adjustment was HAVING a schedule. We much take 'natural learning' model so we would do things like learn fractions by cooking or spend time talking about teeth while we wait for our dentist appointments (our dentist has a really sweet wall of mammal teeth replicas)
but when I got to college, I had to remember when my classes were, where my classes were and which homework assignments were due (i was also 14 at the time, so it was a bit more awkward than it should have been)
In my experience, you adjust by the second semester. I will miss learning in my PJs though!
Thx for the guide. I went to 'public' school for pre-K - 1st and I've been homeschooled ever sense. I feel I would have trouble when I make it to collage. My sister is almost there and Im scared for her..
Same... (i have been home schooled since 1st grade as well).
Seeing your profile avatar makes me believe that you aren't that far away from 1st grade ...
Jino Lim Oh snap.
Leah Bazzelle Exact same for me. I went into homeschooling in the 2nd. But you will do fine in college.
Umm can I be homeschooled through college?:/
You can take online courses, which is similar.
My brother did!
Perfect timing for this video! I am graduating from high school as a homeschooler this summer and starting this fall at a university. The university I am going to has a lot of former homeschoolers and I have been taking classes there since my junior year in HS.
This is a great guide even for non-homeschoolers! Especially the bit about telling your schedule to professors and hoping/expecting they'll sympathize with you.
That's basically how I've survived highschool.
Privately giving a sob story for everytime I come in late...
The awanas vest tho 😂😂
It's weird how the majority of my friends are home-schooled like I am. ^_^
Awesome!!! I'm going to college in September and now know everything I need. Thanks blimey cow :D
That laugh at the end was perfection.
Went to college and didn't get a husband, so I wasted a lot of time. Thankfully, I have had some awesome jobs to make up for it ;)
Or if you wanna stay in your pjs, you can just do online college!
These guys are the most underrated CZcamsrs I've ever seen. They deserve soooo many more subscribers.
I'm homeskooled and I'm going to college next year so thanks!!
Yep, definitely online college.
LOTR marathon! I love those! :D once all of the parts of The Hobbit comes out, a LOTR marathon will be the most epic thing. Ever.
Love this hahaha. I'm homeschooled and nervous about college myself.
ADVENTURES IN ODDYSEY YAAAAAAS! Love that show!
Awesome video as usual here!
Does Jordon play ukulele? I'm loving the background ukulele in a lot of his videos. With ear buds in though it sounds like its moving back and forth and really tripping me out lol.
Everything awesome in this world... And I mean they literally inspire awe.
Adventures in Odyssey! I’m not homeschooled, and I still listen and love it!
This came out just in time! I'm a homeschooler heading to college in the fall. Of course, I am staying at home, but I'm looking forward to it. And, you summed up some of my fears. lol I love watching y'all's videos.
Yes! Now I'm ready for next year!
I loved the video this week! Hilarious!
The commuting thing is so true! I (a homeschooler) spent 3 1/2 years in a college dorm, and it just WORE on me. I commute now!
heck yes!!!! princess bride, doctor who, and adventures in odyssey!! well not really odyssey anymore...
this from a homeschooler who graduated high school this year but already has taken classes at her community college. can't wait to get out of this town next fall!!!!!!
OK the college cafeteria food is WAY better than my mother's. I've described my mother's cooking to my friends, and they make faces.
Omg the two classes in a day....been there done that.....will probably do it a million more times before I graduate.
Jordan, this is awesome! I was home schooled my whole life and graduated last year. However, I was a bit nervous to go to college because, well, I WAS sheltered [boy, am I thankful :) ]. So, thanks for passing on a little courage to those of us who aren't sure if they want to step out into the real world yet. :)
Our food is actually pretty awesome and I survived by always asking questions about everything. I only went part time and joined three clubs. I did not really know or talk to people, but people knew me and talked to me. What broke really helped break the ice was when a group of people from a club I was in invited me to sit with them because they wanted to get to know me.
Omg u guys make me so happy, especially today. Thanks.
I always loved the "big headed kid" (thats what I call the kid with the glasses and wig).
Awesome video! You guys really had my number with the whole "commuting to school" thing :)
as a homeschooler who graduated college two years ago....this is spot on
This entire channel is a very convincing commercial for public schools.
... "Because my friends and I were planning a lotr marathon." I'm so glad I found this youtube page. I'm not the only one! It surprises me a little just how alike other homeschoolers are to me. :) You guys are great! :)
Hurray! I am now ready for college!
Oh yes. Adventures in Oddessy! I remember those. Good times. Good times. I went to a private school rather than homeschooling, but I had a few teachers who loved them. Listening to Adventures was always one of my favorite parts of elementary school.
Kick ass! If I had seen this two years ago it would have made me less freaked out at the fact that I couldn't go to class in my P.J.'s! lol This made my day! Keep up the good work!
Planning to go to college with my friend once we’re done with school (we’re both homeschooled) and we’re both planning to major in dance. Now, we’re ready for whatever college throws at us..... except the stuff that actually requires thinking
"Just bring up Princess Bride, or Dr. Who"
*puts down Dr. Who mug* Inconceivable!!!
Oh, man. That Sparks/Awana vest brings back memories I thought I had supressed long ago.
Adventures in Odyssey is still a thing?! How long has it been on now?
"You are sheltered!" "And you're an idiot." I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to say that!! Thank you!
So true!!!! I don't commute, but everything else is spot on.
Awesome video! And I loved college after being homeschooled my whole life. In my opinion the independence of being homeschooled was a plus. There were a lot of kids from "normal" school who didn't get the whole idea of doing your own work without having teachers breathing down your neck the whole time. So there's adjustments to be made either way. :)
You mentioned Adventures In Odyssey!!! I LOVE it!!! And I'm not a homeschoolers
Messy Mondays: First subject of the day (in my pajamas of course) i love this episode xD
I transitioned from homeschool (K-12) to college last year. I admit that there were a lot of things that took time for me to get use to. The main thing I struggled with was having so many assignments due at one time. That was something I wasn't equipped for. I managed the end the school year with a 3.6. I guess that means that I had a decent freshmen year.
Right time management is the hard thing to get used to. Although going to community school a little early can help with that transition.
Lol I'm homeschooled! I love this! The stereotype is so hilarious!!
"CRAZY NIGHT!!!!"
Why do I find this part extremely amusing?
Freshman year of college, I quickly bonded with someone over our mutual love for Adventures in Odyssey and we had AIO study parties and sleepovers. 4 years later, and she's still one of my best friends. :)
This is fantabulous!!!!
I know right!! it's been a long time since I've listened to it though, but I finally caught it before it started this evening and decided to listen! :D
My best friend was home schooled her whole life came to college and got a 4.0 first year here. Everyone in the hall loves her, and she is getting as much of the "full college experience" as she wants, like everyone else.
We homeschool our kids. There are tons of opportunities for socialization. Here are a few: co-op groups (weekly and/or monthly), chess club, choir, envirothon, park days, scouts (and other groups similar to scouts), writing clubs, gym classes, play groups, classes offered through local groups, library days, sports, drama club, and many more. My kids have a steady group of homeschooling friends. It makes me feel better knowing the influences they are surrounded by.
The bit about commuters and the full college experience...SO TRUE!
I am proud to have joined the homeschool community my junior year
I've been going to college since age 14 and yup this is about right.
50th ANNIVERSARY is going to be AMAZING!!!!
I personally am anxious for the new doctor; the first episodes are always really good with a new doctor.
"You don't resemble my brother!"
Haha, we get it.
Of course they are! Josh and Jordan were homeschooled. :)
As a homeschooler myself, I think they are spot on and hilarious.
I just started college this semester and I did end up meeting a former homeschooler like me!!!!
"LOTR marathon"
"it'll become really obvious who the home schoolers are"
...so true!
Graduated from high school via homeschool...went straight to college... OMG the accuracy of this video is so unreal! 😂😂
I must congratulate you on filling out a Sparks vest that well.
I'm about to get the full college experience!!
Man, these guys make homeschooling sound so fun!
I'm a non-homeschooler, I loved this week's vid! xD
Love IT!!! Keep it up guys!
Rockin' that AWANA vest again.... LOVE it!!
I was home schooled, got 2 college degrees, and I still haven't adjusted to not being able to set your own schedule and having to commute. lol
I didn't notice Josh behind Jordan till he leaned over! lol
As a homeschooler who's going to college I thank you! And yes guys community colleges ate the way to go, they will save you a ton of money and the classes are a lot smaller so its easier to ajust to
have you looked into cyber school options in your state?
"YOU. ARE. SHELTERED!!" I love that dude. :)
I love this video! Thanks for the advice:)
Going to community college after being homeschooled for 12 years was quite the experience. Just finished my freshman year and looking forward to getting done and over with it! Haha
I'll be a junior in the fall and was homeschooled since kindergarten. The transition was strange but I found I actually gained a great work ethic from my homeschooling experience, and I thank my mom every day for the great foundation she gave me. Sure I got a few people who made rude comments, but I think they dropped out . . . I've made straight As the last 2 semesters . . . hmmmmm
Why is it every time I watch these videos, I feel like I was actually homeschooled. I went to public school my entire schooling life.
I KNOW IM SO EXCITED. Plus, THERE BRINGING BACK THE TENTH which meeeeeans that the first twelfth doctor episode will have both the ten AND the eleventh. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXICTED.
The Sparky vest and the mention of Adventures in Odyssey? Right on.
