my first q & a ^_^
l like it ❤🩹💥💯
Obrigado ❤❤❤❤
Que lindo ❤❤❤😊😊😊
I really liked the Bible verse you shared!! I haven’t studied the Old Testament too much so it’s neat being able to hear a verse I’m not too familiar with ^^
Part 2 please 🥺❤
Dude you were a MACHINE in hs😭AP Calc freshman yr is crazy! Props to u honestly, I’m a community college student and seeing ppl with academics like yours always reminds me to keep working hard, good luck in your academic journey ☺️
Did he do AP calc In HIGH sch?
@@Aurora_frostta lot of people do AP Calculus in high school. Completely normal. But doing it freshman year is crazy.
@@farrahjordan1396 Ohk ^~^
Listening to Andrew talk just makes me realize how much of a mature person he is. I want to be like him so bad😭😭😭. I start my first year of college in October(studying Digital Media). These videos will definitely keep me motivated ❤
I’ve always wanted to go to school for architecture but I kinda gave up on that a while ago. seeing Andrew’s videos make me want to reconsider 😭
If you’re really passionate nothing should really stop you !! It does seem stressful but if you love it enough it shouldn’t matter
If it is possible for you to go to one of those school you should definitely do it
thank you for the advice everyone! I’ll think about it 🫶
If you want to do it and passionate about it then go ahead and also consider the career path of it. It is better that you chase your dream while you are young than regret down the road when you are old.
I just wanted to say that in my county we choose the type of school when we are 14/15/16 yrs old and I chose architecture and interior design (I study at a pretty prestigious school) and its pretty hard for me. Btw we have to do all our drawings in hand ( pencil and outline with liners) and when I do that I almost always put on your videos bcs it really motivates me.
You are such a pure soul. If only more people were like you, this world would be a very merry place.
Halo effect in action

Yasss, I need this for my final year at university, it's great that your getting all these sponsors🎉🎉 also, thank you for sharing about yourself, it's not easy putting your whole life out there, but atleast we can connect a bit better with you 😊😊
Question: what do u wanna call your supporters/subscibers? Like I'm tryna think of a word but it's not coming to me 😂😂
Another Q: what would you say is the best way to land internships and gain experience, because I'm in the works for one, but I wanna know how I can be more efficient in getting one.
Also about dating, I thinks it's very hard to date during uni, like I'm trying to focus on myself first, and my education but trying to find someone who is just as passionate about what they want to do and making time for them can be stressful... Hopefully we all find that special person and are successful and happy 💛
Man ngl I’m not Christian myself but that bible quote is really beautiful, I’m kinda in a rough spot rn and it lowkey made me tear up 😭😭
Hey Athol, just wanna let you know that what ever you are going through it'll all work out, just be patient. I know ur not christian but Jesus loves you regardless. God is telling you to not give up. Keep going!
And have a blessed day.
@@edna.5567 love Christians like you, not acting as if atheists/people who have other beliefs are delusional and confused and need some sort of conversion treatment. Hope you're having a good day!
andrew you are so sweet to take the time to answer and paste everyone's questions one by one...i am touched. 😊
we look forward to another Q&A 😅
Matthew 6:34 is one of my favorite Bible verses and for me it’s so clear and reassuring, Matthew is probably one of my favorite books overall.
Ever since I started watching you Andrew, I wanted to be more productive and also be like you, focusing on my social life and academics.
THANK YOU!!!
You are literally THE ideal man Andrew (and being religious is a plus)🙏
Made it onto the video! Yaay~ I’m glad you and Yoora were safe and away from that situation when it happened. Being a calm and collected Andrew as always 😊😊
the way you made this video was really nice. I was expecting you to just sit in front of the camera and talk for the whole video but the mini vlogs and change of location were really nice 👍
he motivates me so much like i literally do not understand why but he’s also distracting me from my school work bc his videos r addicting😭
I’m a second year Architecture student and everything you said was SO true! Thanks for inspiring , looking forward for more vlogs!
Your high school stats are insane omg 😭 I’m literally a senior rn trying to apply to college 😅
u got this!
OMGGG 😭😭😭💪🏻💪🏻 WOKE UP TO THIS LESSGOOO.
Love that you spoke about your Christian identity! My favorite verse is "And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." John 1:5
Thanks for your advice!! I'm in my first year. As an international student, I'm struggling lot. Watching you work through sleepless nights give me strength.
loved the sit down and chat vibes - really cool to see what it’s like being an architecture student 😊
listening to his qna after a long tiring school day was the best, his videos and the way he explains architecture boosts my motivation towards what i want to do in the future. thanks Andrew!
First, I really like watching your videos and they help me get motivated for school, and also when you mentioned your favorite Bible verse it's also my favorite. Good luck being back in school and I hope you have a good year!
seeing andrew's Q&A is the equivalent of just seeing andrew's growth on this platform from twitch in the early days... so much growth!!!
Love how mature and eloquent you are.
I like the new bag! ^^ - My youngest brother also wants to be an architect so I send him some of your videos. I think he liked them. He also reminds me a tiny tad of you. He is a really kind and hard-working kid. Keep inspiring the people.
I'm glad I'm seeing this video. I just got into my first year of architecture and it's amazing. It's really a family major. Making connections really help even if the work load is a bit much. Andrew is right when it comes to people entering at different skill levels sometimes you may think it's not right for you when you don't get picked to show your work but at the same time it should motivate you to become better. Architecture is a journey. A quote that on of my upperclassmen said was enjoy the journey and not the destination. Also Andrew your videos really helped me stick with architecture to try it out before I even got into school. Thank for your vids. Love every single one of them.
I admire your effort in putting so many explanation drawing and sort of subtitles about your speech
You have a very gentle and comforting way of speaking and it surprises me every single time I watch your videos
This is good! You were so sincere .All the best for your studies !!!
your choice of words is incredible like somehow you always say things in the most perfect and ideal way HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS
cant believe you're also a 03liner,,, i gained so much esp from your life pace & attitude and i hope to meet someone who behaves as genuine as you, sincerely wishing you the best in life as you definitely deserve the best things only, thank you andrew! :D
yo my boy literally being the king of consistency fr fr frrrrrrrrrrrr thanks a lottttt
!!
thank you for making an effort to answer all the questions, you are really sweet! and i also thank you for your advices, they helped me a lot as i'm starting college soon
First time I'm commenting on a video lol. Just wanted to say that your high school stats are outstanding, I could never imagine taking 14 AP's. I'm in my senior year and I took max like 4 Ap's all throughout my high school experience. I can definitely tell you've worked incredibly hard and put in a lot of effort to get to be where you are now and it's so inspiring. I also would like to add that your videos are so relaxing and calming, I just went through your Architecture vlog playlist and I can't help but admire how hard you work, the motivation, effort, and perseverance you have to continue pushing yourself to work harder leaves me in awe. You are an amazing role model who people can look up to and appreciate. Thank you for all the wonderful videos you've given us here on You tube, keep up the good work Andrew! 🙂
Loved the college advice and I think when someone focuses on themselves mote they achieve more.
Really like that you thought of doing this, it's always nice to know when content creators notice the people watching. It's also really nice learning more about you ❤.
You are a very encouraging person and such a role model in so many ways, thanks for inspiring us!! And also thx for answering me!! Love ur vlogs and your cool transitions ^^
i agree with your advice on including a buffer time when planning a strict schedule, i also do them because i know im not really in control of what the future may hold.
inititativeness and future-orientedness are real essential for consistent and flexible performance
thank you so much for the q and a session andrew! it felt glad getting to know you close ^^
i wasn't really sure about choosing architecture but ur vlogs (specially this one) helped me a lot. plus i like how your voice sounds relaxing, i dont think is monotone.
wahhhhh~! thank you so much for the q&a and back to back videos!!! >
as a graphic design student, the phrase "be disciplined, not motivated about it" was theee line for me.
these days have been tough, trying to convey styles, messages and keep innovating even just as a student.
not only my own ambition, but also the reality of my skills.
all of that made me being in a toxic relationship with my career, and it's not easy when the way you approach your life isn't probably the most effective to your expectations.
listening to your thoughts and the kinda easy-way of mind really conforts me, because i used to be like that.
overthinking didn't work too, ofc. ㅎ
i just want to do the better for me, and i think i gotta be more responsabile and focus to really explore my potentials.
but watching you talk about it, made me grow a lil bit more.
thx!^^
I always enjoy your videos. I get inspired by how hard you work to achieve your goals in life.
Ayyy i hear that lil Seven backtrack at the beginning
Bro.. you really are a very hardworking person :')
I wish I was consistent and focused like you❤
Anyways lots of love~
I like how andrew so dedicated to everything. Im so proud of you andrew🥲
I love the constant uploads!!
Thank you for this video!! I’m a sophomore in high school and this video was super helpful for what I should do/should be doing!!
Already thought you were cute but the Bible verse just made you cuter.
I am studying UX/UI design, but I am very interested in observing other creative professions. And I like that I understand you in many ways, I especially liked the part about the balance between absorption in study and rest, it's really important not to lose motivation to live and get up every morning to achieve new goals :)
this guy has become very productive with his videos! It's great but also rest to enjoy it ❤
thank you so much for making this video! i'll definitely come back to this for motivation and tips when i'm thinking about college :D
I've just finished watching your last vlog and there is already a new one🧡
I'm a first year in Graphic Design Uni and to be honest i kind of relate to what you share with us about your school experiences~ It makes me a little more at ease since I'm not the only person feeling this way.. Thank you so much for all you do to your comunity c: Hope you have a good day~
I'm still in high school but I'm considering to do graphic design.. But at the same time I really enjoy photography.. So I can't decide on what course should I take
@@zicozico9792 i think you could try graphic design since most of the Times you still have photography classes in there and if you don't like it you can change your major love 💕
@@mireiqo reallyy? Thank you so much 💕I feel then it's a great idea, tbh I don't personally know someone who is doing graphic design so I was just so confused about it and I couldn't even discuss... Thank you >>
I'm in my first term. I started studying architecture because I always liked the subjects and wanted something more dynamic. In the beginning it's always difficult because I always compare myself and think that the veterans are more artistic and intelligent, but I'm trying to fit in better at college and the pace of study, thanks for the advice and for producing good content about architecture 🇧🇷
Dang the way you describe how you were into CS at first rlly struck with me. Cause I'm a junior in hs right now and I've basically spent most of highschool contributing towards majoring in CS but I always had architecture in mind. I'm an artist and so architecture has always looked shiny to me but I always see people talking about it in a negative light, (like, "you study as much as a doctor does but you make less than them" idk if that's true.) Even now, I feel like I invested way too much in STEM just to drop it for architecture which I'm not even prepared for. But with more research i think I'll be able to choose a path. For anyone else in a dilemma like me, don't give up on searching for your passion.
As far as the workload goes, you do definitely study as much as doctors but what you're actually doing in that time is far less tangible. The "problem" with architecture is that since the projects are subjective, the cornerstone of each is the creative idea behind it. What tends to happen is that you spend so long trying to come up with an idea you're happy to proceed with that its normal to spend a few all nighters doing the required CAD work to communicate the idea to your tutors and finish the project. It can be extremely frustrating when you realise its almost impossible to just sit down and complete your work. Architecture is described as more of a "lifestyle" because you always have to be looking for inspiration in EVERYTHING to try and make sure the ideation process takes as little time as possible and that way you can get your work done on time. Anyway, basically if you're choosing between a STEM major and Architecture I would consider the following: Do you prefer to allocate reasonably set time periods where you can complete readings and memorisation to complete your work, OR are you willing to put up with a more abstract and unpredictable workload (could be less or more hours then med school day to day) in order to allow for some creativity? In the end, architecture can be frustrating because even if you think your idea is amazing and you've done all the CAD work within the allocated timeframe, your tutors may just simply not see the same value in it and you can be graded lower despite your best efforts.
HOWEVER, architecture in the workforce is much less abstract and a lot more technical. Unfortunately, architecture IRL is less about creativity and more about CAD proficiency and the building code. If this sounds dull to you I wouldn't recommend architecture.
Last thing, yes architects do unfortunately get paid less then doctors, lawyers, and engineers. The other parts are heavily romanticised and this leads to lots of graduate architects becoming disenchanted once they get into the workforce.
In conclusion, if you're willing to put in the hours (a LOT of them) to develop a smooth creative process, and then tough out 4-5 years as a CAD monkey in the workforce, then you'll start to gain some creative control of projects and your pay will increase to a decent amount (still less then the common professions). If that sounds worth it to you, then I would definitely do architecture.
PS. currently deciding between med school and architecture myself, I've only done first year architecture and a 6 month internship in a following gap year, but I've spoken and interviewed countless professionals in architecture and other fields to see how it compares. Interestingly, a few adults wish they did architecture, but most architects tend to be unhappy with their job and its compensation. Not all though :)
@@madebyicarus I am also thinking between medicine and architecture, and with what you said now I am much more afraid of choosing architecture, at first I was very interested in computing but I stopped thinking about it. This decision is really difficult, I like everything, I'm "good" at everything, but I don't feel comfortable and motivated to choose my future :(
Yeah that basically describes me as well, "good" at everything but not incredible at anything or worse at anything to the point where its obvious which path to take. I can't really vie you any advice yet unfortunately since I've been stuck on this decision for a couple of years now. I think its ultimately true that all jobs are hard, and you are unlikely to find a job you "truly" love so it's better to pick the higher paying ones. This is only untrue if you have a particular burning passion for another avenue because this passion will potentially lead you to making more money. I guess for me, I want a job that gives me enough time to gym, play sports, make art, and socialise. The reality is that all jobs of this nature either don't pay well, or require you to sacrifice some of these things for an extended period of time during your life. I'm not happy to accept either of these really which is why I'm stuck on a decision. @@genesisvelez4931
@@madebyicarus Ah, I see. You explained it in such a sensible manner that I can now see more of both sides. It made me realize I was viewing architecture through a romanticized perspective. I feel like all that creative thinking isn't for me, I would lose my mind. I understand now when artitechts always sound so depreseed lol. Thanks for your input, I hope you're able to choose between med school and architecture. Don't lose hope haha
As someone third year in college cs and has always had art history/architecture in the back of their mind, my advice is take a mix of classes your first year. My biggest regret was not taking a good mix of classes even though I did take one art history course. So, definitely explore and don't be afraid if you do choose and decide to change. CS and architecture are both very hard but I'd rather spend so much effort to feel proud of my product rather than like im just trying to get by. I'm already contemplating my second major switch.
This made my day Andrew I was looking forward to your vlogs 👀🤭🫶🏻🫶🏻
andrew ur videos always cheer me up after a hard day of school and u inspire me to do well, and also major in arch.
Starting vlog strong with SEVEN remix... Loved your honesty and great advice about uni life. Wish you the best in the new uni year. 화이팅!!
Thanks so much for the Q&A and the tips regarding how to prepare. I will definitely get the book by F. Ching even though I am not studying architecture, am "only" fascinated by it. Thank you! I wish you a good start into the new university year! God bless you!
Have a nice day Andrew!!!!!!!
Thank you for answering our questions!!
May God bless your journey!!!

i've been wanting to pursue architecture since im 7 years old and you have inspired me to not give up on my dream, i found your channel while i was searching for like "a day in a life of an architecture student" because i really want to know what it's like to study in that major, since then i've been watching your vlogs a lot, thank you for always uploading, keep doing it 🤍
His favorite thing 👍🏼👍🏼

Yes this is a while back but I am inspired to keep myself looking forward in life. Somewhere in the far future! I love this thought cause its what help me move forward and you are someone who do that. I mean even when things are hard you are more focus on the goods things than the bad. Yes, I might be assuming you are those who do that but I love how productive you are and how the bad doesn't stop you to continue what you do! I hope things do well for you in life!

I’ve been looking into a major in Architecture here in Canada, and I’m stressed because I didn’t apply myself in high school, and I’m now regretting it because the admissions here are so high. Keeping myself motivated because of your videos :) you got this!
Love your vids ANDREW nothing beats watching your vids right after leaving school 😭👍

Thank you so much. I'm interested in studying architecture, but i did not do art . i have a few more months before submission dates, so i'll use the time to work on something. God bless
Your video’s so good inspiring! I am in high school and I recently made up my mind to choose architecture as my career and your video just made me so much more confident about it and i hope to do well in it!!
I found your channel recently and I’ve been binge watching since🦋🤍
Amen that verse ate
Hey Andrew, I find myself relating to your situation a lot (little design background before joining architecture, small portfolio) and when I saw your finals season video, I was very impressed and was wondering how you manage having to rework/restart your project with ease so close to deadlines? I also relate to what you said about coming to terms with imperfection and presenting a work that's not your best, so would you have any advice on that?
Thanks a lot for these videos, they mean a lot to archi students like myself!
Your voice is soo sweet
❤
Wau your very hardworking. Good luck Andrew, we will support you 💪😉
I want your dedication and positivity in life. OMG
those stats are crazy omg
i'm impressed by your outlook on life and how you handle things and honestly i could learn so many lessons from you Andrew. thank you for having this Q&A even though it would have been a lot of work gathering all the questions and answering them, you're as hard-working as ever :) i'm looking forward to your next vlog ^ - ^
