- I still CANNOT believe I'm here, after months of anticipation and suspense. I finally moved into my dorm at UChicago, and I absolutely love it. It took me a few days to edit this simply because looking at the footage made me miss my family and home, but I'm settling in and now this whole video makes me smile. I hope it makes you smile as well, and whether you're at college or at home, have a fantastic week!
About me!!
I’m eighteen years old and a first year at UChicago 📚
Frequently, I’m reading, cooking, playing the violin or table tennis, and studying 🍋
I have an older brother and I grew up in Maine 🌊
I’m a 5w4 INTJ and a bit of a nerd with my favorite fictional worlds 🌎
Say hi to me!!

Honestly one of the best and most realistic college move in vlogs
oh,your mother is so considerate, she must be exhausted in this trip. Stay strong and stay well during this pandemic time.
By far the best video to date - so REAL, full of joy and sadness.
When you cried, I cried for you because I could see the great bond you had with your mom
It’s hard going off to school especially when everyone is so disconnected because of COVID. I remember I cried to my dad the first week, but my school and friends eventually became my home and I didn’t go home even on breaks! Congrats on your acceptances!
I have seen many videos like this but this is the best one.
I will be coming to United States as international student next year.
Wish me luck so I can get into a good university.
Love from India🇮🇳
Aw thank you so much! And that's so exciting that you'll be coming to study here, best of luck to you!
Ahhhh I cried at the end. I'm going to college this coming August and I'm going to miss my family. Idk how I'm going to make friends or what the future has planned for me, but as long as I have my piano I think I'll be alright. Best wishes and thanks for the vids I've binged a good 10 videos already 😂
you seem so genuinely nice and kind, the school is so gorgeous and I hope you're feeling better!!
This video is so cute! I hope you settle into your dorm. Thank you for giving us a realistic college experience, good luck!
What a sweet video of a mother and a daughter going off to college. I imagine it's a difficult feeling in this pandemic, but it will be over by the time you graduate. Enjoy your time. UChicago, I'm jealous. It's where Carl Sagan studied!
I'm so glad you and your mom were able to make the trip to college fun by your different stops. Great shots of the campus...and enjoyed seeing your room and how you worked to organize it. Thank you for sharing even your difficult moments with us. Wishing you a great year Makayla!
Thank you Mimi!! I miss you!
A wonderful vlog. Making a road trip next week from California to Denver, and just graduated in 2020 from uchicago. So definitely can relate to all the experiences in the video. All the best while at uchicago and please keeping making more videos!
Thank you so much!! And have a great road trip, that sounds like so much fun!
I loved this vlog and congrats 🎉 on everything!!!! I recently got a full ride to uchicago and plan on going. What is the dorming hall that you chose because it looks phenomenal?!
Realistic, no-BS vlog. Really enjoyed watching it. All the best with your college life.
Thank you so much!!
Love the library
Your mum is so nice and beautiful👌🏼 Have a good time during your uni time.
I wish I did the same thing as you did when I drove m daughter to U Chicago years ago from New England. Same region hahaha. I feel you. When I hugged my daughter goodbye after helping her to settle down in I-House, I hold my tears until I turned around. She had graduated from UChicago before COVID hit US. I missed the campus so much. Although I had been there 5 or 6 times, I never got bored of those gorgeous buildings.
Aw the goodbyes are really the hardest part about college! I don't think I'll ever get used to saying bye to my family whenever I return to campus. And I agree - it's impossible to get bored of the buildings here!
I’ve been looking for a vlog like this because I’m planning on driving down to my college too and it’s 16 hours away
this video is so amazing :(( 💜💜
i can see where you passed my neighborhood on the skyway which i wasn't expecting but instantly recognized. hope youre doing well !
Beautiful!!
best of luck at UChicago :)
The room looks pretty
Omg I have the same Vera Bradley backpack
I felt like you're such a sweet person just by listening how you talk to the camera :>
Sending love 💗 you will achieve great things 🤍
OMG the campus is stunning actually more stunning than my uni campus in Australia!!
Which campus in Australia
@@coolguy0331 It's at The University of Melbourne:)
Awesome 🥺🥺
I loved this vlog I’m
Applying this year wish me luck
That’s so exciting! Good luck!!
Well done cuz
Wow I’ve never been this early!
😂 But seriously, I’m so proud see how far you’ve come. Believe or not, your videos do indeed inspire me to be a better student and person. I honestly think that in a parallel universe, we’d be good friends haha XD Thank you so much for showing up and being you
Thank you so much!!! That means so much for me to hear ❤️
awesome video, after getting a scholarship or after financial aid do e have to pay for hostel and living stuff , I am from INDIA I literally don't know anything.
It depends on the financial aid package you get from the college! Some people here pay for room and board while other people get help from their scholarships or financial aid packages. I hope that this helps!
@@MakaylaMacGregor what u got?
I made the mistake of going home too often so it took me a long time to make friends and feel comfortable. Hang in there and cherish every moment. Go Maroons!
Good Luck at school 😎🙏
thank you!!
8:15 No wonder UC is in the 'Ivy League'... so much ivy everywhere.
Haha! UChicago isn't in the Ivy League, but there is definitely a TON of ivy on the buildings - it's beautiful!!
You don't seem like the sports jock type and so I am surprised you end up at Max P but I guess housing lottery is random this year. Well at least you don't have to walk across Midway everyday. If not for COVID, I think it would be a sure bet most first years would be thrown into Woodlawn.
Where are all your other dogs?
Acadia and Maisy are at my dad's house haha! I was at my mom's house, which is where we have Moose 😊
@@MakaylaMacGregor Your mom waved at you with all the empty boxes, because you couldn't even go outside to help her to the car. Such a sad farewell. Covid rules are becoming increasingly more fascist... Your mom had to drive back alone 1000 miles? That is terrible!
@@viewer7200 I know, it was really hard for me to see her go knowing she had all that way ahead of her. Fortunately she is home safely now :)
So why did you pick UChicago? Stay safe there...don't get sucked into anything stupid...not that you would. Just be careful! Run all your decisions past your parents...they're so cute and seem very wise!
