Hey! My name is Hafu Go and I'm a dreamer. For the past year, I made it my life mission to study patterns of success for students. I traveled across the world to interview students from top schools like Harvard, MIT, and Stanford. These college tips are what I learned from them combined with my personal experience. If you're a freshman about to enter your first week at college, then you should consider watching this video, twice!
Here's my list of college tips and tricks for incoming freshmen. Some of these might not make sense just by reading the headline, so you gotta watch the video to understand.
1. Don't cling to your high school friends.
2. Make Friends the first week or you'll be forever alone.
3. Don't do all of your reading. But do read books.
4. Dress nicely for class.
5. Your grades will be deflated.
6. Seek out fun!
7. Befriend a professor.
8. Study alone and not at home.
9. Spend a semester studying abroad.
10. Dare to dream...and screw the haters!

JOKES
I bet every dollar in my wallet that you’re not ugly you just think you are
Says the guy with 20 cents in his pockets.
Can u make a video specifically on making friends lol
Yes please
Kinda sad
Yes pleaseee
Ouri tainkiete don’t hate
That’s rough buddy
As a third year student I got to do most of these and the coolest thing about studying abroad is that it forces you to follow this list😊 so go out there (after the pandemic) and give it a go 😊
this is my second time watching one of your videos but I already love all your tips! they aren’t generic and they make me feel inspired for college. i’m an incoming freshman this fall and i’m super excited
If you are going to study abroad in 2021- here are my tips for 1st year students czcams.com/video/SkhV04FKov8/video.html! Best of luck!
Actually, in junior college, the lectures aren't useful. So, exam questions come from "assigned" reading. At a university, reading often isn't "assigned." Exam questions usually come from a study guide or handouts.
Your content is amazing.....but I'm surprised.... because there are only 61 k subs
CZcams algorithm is just a hater
It's 63.5k now :)
72.5k now :)
78k now
5,380k now
“Make friends in the first week” ...but what if its virtual 🥺👉👈
How was your first year
Yh how your first year?
Your content makes me motivated and encouraged me to does certain goal everyday. Thanks! 💚
DUUUUUUUDE! YOUR VIDEOS HAVE IMPACT! Keep inspiring and giving us tips 😊. Very informative. Alot of your videos are very helpful. You're so lively and your cute jokes spark joy. PLEASE MAKE MORE COLLEGE PREPARATION VIDEOS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS 😄
thankk you sooo much, life changing advice
OMG. THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWERS. LITERALLY THE ONLY VIDEO ON THIS TOPIC THAT I DIDN’T SKIP A SECOND
I love this video a lot! I am a college freshman now and watching this video of yours made me learn some valuable lessons that make me want to do it right away, like be friend with my professor or go study abroad. Again, wonderful video! Keep up the good work!
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks hafu ❤️
You’re welcome 😊
I'm only 15 and I'm hyped for college!!!💪🔥💯 I just started watching you and I love your videos keep up the awesome work!!!
How was your freshman year?
Thank you so much for inspiring me, Hafu... you're like the koko I've never had
Hafu: Don't read!
Random person from Hafu's school: oh well, if Hafu said it
same random person: *fails every class*
Hafu: haha! I got better grades than you
Comeon I said don't read all your textbooks. But read more books!
@@hafu sure bro, sure bro😂
Thank you for all the useful information
Nice tips😂👀 I’m actually enjoying your videos. It’s nice to know any tips for college
Just wanna say thank you soo much for clearing the mist which had blurred my vision about collages. Can't wait for more amazing contents from you.
Solid insight as usual 😃 I recently connected with the conducting professor I hope to study under and he offered to watch a video of me conducting to give me feedback, so I sent him the William Tell Overture flute choir video! Even though I’m definitely older than you and am transitioning careers rather than starting one (or starting college), these insights are just universally good things to keep in mind!
Wow that's so cool to hear! That video went kinda viral eh
@@hafu Oh yeah that definitely went viral haha the combined efforts of 85 flutists being shared by those same 85 flutists! I think it shows that musical leadership and direction really IS my calling in life. I've only met like 4 of the participants in real life before (they're friends from high school and college), so it's pretty amazing to see how people can get together for music like that!
Skip optional reading is good to skip unless the professor takes questions from the optional reading
I love all of your content video Hafu 😍
Thank you so much!!
Im starting actual college this fall (ive been dual enrolled for 2 years and I’ll get my associates this summer, im 18 *cough cough* not to brag😂), and your videos are really helpful and entertaining! Thanks man!

Hey great video, whered u get that shirt tho? I've been looking for something like it
Yo do a college outfit vid. Love the stuff dude!
Thanks man!
Thanks for your tips!!!!!
You bet! Put them to good use ;)
I study applied maths in my high school. Is it possible that I can study core maths in my college? Since I haven't taken science!
this channel is gonna blow up
Yo my guy you got a glow up in the last year!!
I have a question for you, Hafu. I am planning on going my first year to a cap program, which is pretty much going to a school that's in the same system as the other schools, but you only go one year to transfer the next year to the school that you want to go ( if you get the required GPA). Now, my question is, will I be able to make friends in college if I transfer to a different school in my sophomore year? Will I have challenges, because everyone is already in their own group. I had had this struggle before in high school, where I moved a lot as a kid and never made any friends. I still, to this day, do not have any friends. Cheers
I really want to apply your video to my college experience since I'm going to college as a freshman this coming school year, but I have a really hard time seeing how having things such as a social life and making friends as well as passing college is even possible.
Before you read below, please understand that I'm a first-generation college student, so I have no family to ask what college is like and maybe I'm just being super negative idk
I tried taking college classes in high school last year, and they were a very steep curve in difficulty. I never really learned how to study since I got almost perfect grades in high school anyways and 90% of my senior year was spent working and studying, I even had to drop out of the Yearbook club so I could study more. I didn't really have resources at my school to get help, so it was me and Google alone trying to comprehend the work that I was given, and I barely passed that year. Honestly, I was expecting my entire college experience to be me struggling in my math class and staying up until 2 AM studying, so I really don't know how I'm going to do anything else in college.
just like your haircut lul, want to have the same one) btw like your videos gj) I want to do the same format so long time but don't know how to start. I tried but I just can't anyway gj man :)
I hope my crippling social anxiety clears up in the time I hopefully make it to college
I am back
Loved the idea for this vid
Much love god bless
Gotta go, time to destroy the like button
You always know what to do ;)
I can't wait to go!
love your contents .✌😍
Thank you so much 😀
I really enjoyed your emotional drama🤠🤠
This video is represented most of students who r desperate to aim high gpa. But from this video I would say that's the true story hahahahaha, I even failed in one subject. Your channel has been inspiring me for some aspects. Thank you bro, keep going up.
Another important thing I'd like to add about grades, as someone who's done AP, DE, etc.
-If you know what core classes your college/university requires of you, take classes that are the prefaces (prerequisites?? XD) of them. Like Calculus, high school has pre-cal. Take it. It's going to be harder, but you get a foundation for a course you're going to take later. I asked my Adv Algebra teacher, "what class would be better to take? College Algebra, or Pre-Cal?" And of course, he said Pre-Cal would be better, because Calculus is a class you're going to take.
-(This is more a personal opinion) Between AP and DE (Dual Enrollment), I find DE is harder, but more rewarding than AP. Bc DE is literally a college class. So you get to dip your toes and feel how college is kinda like, in terms of work. It is harder, but you get college credit, and if you go to a college that accepts them, you will not have to take it (saves money too).
Really good content 👍
Glad you think so!
I'm honoured to be your friend. One love!
Just wondering what product do you use for your hair?
0:26 Why haven't you got a girl till now?
that was damn🔥
hahaha
Not sure how I feel about the prospect of making new friends just for the sake of it then ‘ghosting’ them when you have determined that you have other stronger friendships or if you realise that you don’t gel as much.
If you have a brief chat to someone and then realise that you don’t have much in common or your personalities do not mesh then I leave it be (leaving them alone) and don’t waste their time only to dump them later on.
Awesome intro " my name is hafu and I didn't have a haircut" 😂😂
I can relate with the "don't read" tip HAHAHAHA because I did not really bother opening any of the pdfs that were sent to us and I still passed the semester.
bro loved your contents
Thank you bro
Hey could you tour your college? If you already did can you give the the link?
I was going to try my junior year to make an effort, but COVID really put a wrench in that🙃I don’t want to leave without having done steps 1 and 2. My time might’ve passed, but I’m anything but stubborn
My guy just summarized the book" How to win at college" by cal Newport. Love vids tho.
You are so funny 🤣 I just subscribed.

Bro where did you get that blue shirt from?
I had been seeing this video for 10 minutes yesterday
Can you give us a hair styling tutorial tho
I can do all those except making friends and have fun 😂
I was wishing to have a University life when I was in high school cuz more flexible than high school but a pandemic happened and a lot of things got limited such as having new friends in physical way, hangout with new friends, club activities and so on. Very disappointed due to the limitations. I hope pandemic disappear ASAP cuz I'm already in Semester 3 of 5 semester of pre-uni study. Study at home is boring.
WOW! You look handsome "bro"👌👌😂😂
Plz make ‘A Day In My Life’ video plz!!..
