    Wow Kevin! What a great video. I really loved your transitions and your editing style with this. Great job! I graduated from UF some years ago and it’s incredible to see how much it’s changed since I was there - especially the Rietz Union. The bookstore used to be in another building. UF was and is such a great school! I enjoyed it so much. Thanks for giving me this tour. It was great to see all the locations again. Such great memories!

      @Uben-Dover Před rokem +1

      It’s very smart on your part to be looking at colleges in 9th grade. I wish I had spent my high school years prioritizing college instead of living in the present moment. My daughter is in 9th grade too, but like I was, she isn’t thinking of the future as much as she should. She’s very smart and makes all A’s but it’s only because my wife and I constantly stay on her case. I’m doing the job of looking and comparing colleges because I learned from my mistakes and I worry about her because even though she’s smart, she isn’t self-motivated like you seem to be. Kudos to you for planning way ahead and good luck.
