Don't miss these tips if you want to make friends in college. Get ready for this back to school 2019 season!
Transitioning from high school to college is probably one of the hardest things you’ll do in your life. I wanted to give you a real rundown of what the first week of college is actually like. In this video I talk about frosh week, move in day, classes, how to make friends, college parties, roommates, and much more! I think a lot of you might be intimidated by the fact that everything is new, and you don’t know anyone. So you’re scared that you’re not going to make friends in college. But after watching this video, you’ll know what to expect in your first week so now you’re going to be okay. I don’t want you to be a lost little freshman. You’re going to start off strong. I believe in you! - Zábava
I just confirmed my college decision and then spontaneously started to binge college videos. I need to finish high school online before I start worrying about this
edit: holy fuck guys I didn’t get ANY notifs about replies until just now (3 years later). I’m in my senior year looking at grad schools now! I hope you are all doing well :))
You r not the only one dude :)
Shardonic i’m literally doing the same thing
same haha
good luck guys, beginning of freshman year is really fun & u meet a lot of people
primaL Mont I hope so!
9:36 ''When you don't feel comfortable, that's when you grow''
Truth.
but life is alway not comfortable.... you thin grow... i think you just had no idea what to do in life... don't think something change in your life and you will grow... you had to start from yourself long ago...

Sean Lin are u saying that to Hafu ?
Sean Lin i think it's not that bad in my perspective

Hafu's advice on parents:
drop your parents if you don't like them and get new ones.
I’m a freshman in high school watching this and failing 3 classes.
Edit: im a freshman in college now and passing all my classes 💪
Slug 33 ouch
lol same
Bruh rip
Slug 33 have faith young blood, I’m a junior and I’m about to experience the process of college apps 😬
Slug 33 get your shit togethere
One of the best things about his videos are that they're straight to the point and precise. Short and sweet
Yea I try to cut out all the fluff 😉 don’t wanna waste your time
@@hafu Respect.
One tip I have is be comfortable with being uncomfortable, purposely seek discomfort! (Love YesTheory btw) anyways, this helps so much to grow as an individual
that was my mentality heading into freshman year college last fall. I stuck with it thru the fall and fell off hard, not grade wise, but mentally through the spring semester. I just lost it, but stick with it and don't give up. u got it
“Maybe you didn’t even have friends in high school”
Damn.
Thanks sm for 1k (now 2k!!) likes guys! (and Hafu even noticed hehe 🤭😚)
@Mary Slavin :( so true xD
It speaks to me on an astronomical level and I’m only a sophomore In high school😭
US Vs OBESITY imagine being a freshman.
Man he didn't have to @ us like that
@@andres.6126 If youre only a sophomore in high school you still got time to meet your friends bro!!!
Here in 2020 thinking about the fact that I prolly won’t be on campus or experience a college party in the fall🥺
Im going to grand valley state university this fall and winter semester. Just registered for classes today. They are still doing face to face classes
JH Gaming yeah my school said we are starting classes in September as schedule regardless. The professors were told to prepare for online lessons because it’s easier to switch back to in person than the opposite
Online lesson is much better than in person cuz you don’t have to interact with other people.
@@Cyber-FrieGab im an extrovert fam
Nacho Themn yep
The music be like “DUUU DUUU III III”
I'm already a graduate but this video made me wanna go to college again 😆❣
💛💛💛
college is fun until final season hahah
@@hafu that is so true 😆 We suddenly wish we're back at school when we're not in it but when we're in it, we hate being in school 😆 Anyways, u are an awesome person!! Good luck with everythinggggg ❣
Yeah you said it perfectly. Thank YOU for being an amazing subscriber Angelica
@@hafu omg u replied again 😭 this just made my day ❣
When he said he wasn’ invited to any high school parties.
Same man, same😭
He probably was but wants make boring people feel less bad
Pepijn LMAOOOOO
For my school, it’s only a certain group of kids. Like a quarter of our class, maybe less, goes to parties. Most people are “missing out”
Same
I was but I don’t see the need for friends
It’s ok I’ve never been to a high school party either 😂
That makes 2 of us.
That makes 3 of us... Jk im only 12
I’ll be the 4th
5th ✋
Me neither
People overexaggerate the transition from high school to freshman year of college. First two semesters are basically all intro courses. Test were usually easier than hs tests imo. Freshman to sophomore year is where college really starts
Lmao what college did you go to
A lot of people come from overseas so settling in can be a little harder lol
Same with middle school

it's not about preparations ... who knows if we will even have a First week this year.
@@blankneverlosegaming6374 Finally someone said it
College freshman in the fall. Syllabus plural is Syllabi
Dude im barely going to 9th grade and im already scared for college
reading these comments, i feel like i'm the only one that's nervous and kinda scared of college, not excited. i'm a high school senior and i'm dreading college, but maybe that's just my anxiety lol.
starciel I felt your pain too 😂 I remember getting dropped off to college for my 8 am (yes my mom actually wanted to drop me off my first day ahahahahah) but it’s really great. Something that I noticed that he didn’t mention is that professors usually go over syllabus for about 15-20 min and then already move on to course work (something I was not expecting at all). Like seriously I was already taking pages of notes on the first day. But trust me when I say this, *cough cough* COLLEGE IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN HIGH SCHOOL. I felt like I was suffocating in high school and college gives you so much freedom which is why people can fail. Those people don’t know how to time manage and it shows when they repeatedly get terrible grades. But all of the friends you’ll make are countless, it might take a couple of weeks (I made my friends at Orientation and in classes) but trust me that they’re just as nervous as you. You got this
Not even anything to worry about. You will like it alot better than high school.
starciel you’re not the only one, I used to avoid talking about college for months and when I would I would usually have a panic attack. Now since it’s almost the end of the school year I’ve kind of accepted it and learned that yeah it’s gonna suck for a bit but as cheesy as it sounds, everything is going to be okay eventually, I just have to be open for new experiences and try to make it enjoyable.
itll only be bad if you make it bad. put yourself out there
Nah your not alone Im a “now” graduated high schooler, and I nervous as well
I just felt like sharing this thought here. I've had an amazing time at the beginning of this school year. It was a time where everybody is new and excited to meet you. I made a lot of good friends and had a great time since. But damn do I feel robbed of my student life thanks to this coronavirus situation. Your first year as a student is the year where everything is new, your second year will be much different and familiar.
I was looking forward so much to these months...
I'm a college dropout and I gotta say, I think the mix of having terrible roommates and not making the right friends at the beginning of the semester freshman year was a good 50% of the reason I dropped out. Having a toxic girlfriend didn't help with that either xD
Josiah Roa what happened with the roommates?
I am going to collège this year very very soon and this video was all I needed! Thank you sooooo very much! ❤️
Love from Portugal ✨
I'm staring soon and I'm excited. Thank you so much for this, it helps!!!
I’m excited for you too!! What are you studying?
@@hafu Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. It's a big course, but I feel like I'm ready!
syllabi
Thank you for this Hafu Guo!!! I am currently a freshman and what you have said are really true. So i'm gonna recommend this vlog of yours to my friends who will going to apply for college next year.
As a freshman who just finished this first year this is pretty accurate and good advice. The ending is advice couldnt be more truthful
I’m in middle school and I’m just watching this like. “Ima be smartest Guy in class next year.”
Unsoaked Sponge u already thinking bout next school year?
me too
LOL
I believe in you

Not being invited to parties #relatable
Sad bois
haha moooodddd
That feeling when a group of girls invite your best friend to a party but not you ( like i was literally standing there )
@@avion4820 dayummmmmm
Yes
Senioritis doesn't stop. It get's worse, procrastination is still a th-
ill finish this sentence later.
Man, I was hoping by being in an environment where everyone is studying my procrastination would dissappear
"hello"
yes
That’s how I met all my friends
I'm a college student who studied two years at a community college, have dropped out for at least 5 years due to finances and other things, been working full time since then, and now planning on going back to the community college to take a few more classes before thinking about moving to a four year university for my astrophysics major I'm going for. And I'm not the greatest when it comes to socializing, but friends are great to have. :) I like your positive energy and enthusiasm, wish I could have a friend like you! 🙂
Moving to my dorm in a week and this video was really helpful 😄🙌
I wish you good luck!! Go say hi and yes
No lie, I feel like everyone knows eachother even if its a new school. Like they already got 2-3 ppl groups and class just started. Wtf??? Like what the fuuuu???
Probably it’s cuz they went to orientation before school started
truuuu
This is one of the most useful college advice videos i've seen 👍
I like this dude very much! like I can dare to listen every single advice he can give and share. He's so Adorable and Bubbly. For this guy has a lot of good friends!
I'm a new Subscriber here from the Philippines. Stay safe and GodBless😉😎
I'm only in a lower grade, and I'm already watching these videos, I want to be prepared, but not too prepared.
same here lol
bro thanks for the good advice. I'm pretty sure that im not a outgoing person but after I watch your video, I am encouraged by u a lot. It seems very difficult and will be a hard journey because of my English fluency and also my personality, but I believe that I can be a better person just as u said.
Dude you’re inspiring I love your inspiring speeches
Lol I don't think you understand how much better a college advisor you are than my actual college advisor. Like way over 15000000 X better TT. I think I might actually survive college now haha >
That’s honestly amazing to hear! I’m so glad this video helpful to you. Check out the Bullseye link for some more free college advising!
Thanks for your video I really love it. It's simple and easy to understand. I am starting college in September this year so I really need this as I have a few questions to ask about college. Which you already answered in your video. Again Thanks so much I'm so grateful.
Im excited for college, the dorms, the classes and the independance just seems so much fun
Watching this in May 2020, realizing that Covid might make my first semester of college all online 😞

One semester turned into 2 years, covid sucked
This makes can’t wait to college this fall even more!
Why am I watching this as a Freshmen in HS? That’s a very good question.

You're full of positive energy. I like how interesting your videos are :) Keep entertaining me. And I hope you won't stop helping others~
Never stop
@@hafu i dont want to go to college because Im a introvert and I hate talking to people I don't know.
@@mrturbo6732 that's a bigger problem than whether or not to go to college
@@hafu ikr, but I really want to start making more friends but I have really dark humour
I'm a high school sophomore, dreading the upcoming high school year that nobody cares about...so idk why I'm watching a video about college and hoping to relate?
I hope you don't stop this content for like 3 more years, so it there for me as my bestie going into college.
Don’t worry I’ll be here for you ❤️ You should sign up for the free advising call just to see what you need to prepare!
@@hafu Oh, will do. Thanks! ^^
Well you’re at the college age now
@@homersimpson4379 Ya, but I'm taking a gap year now, lol
@@serina_night lol, I wish I could do that. I’m gonna be going to college next semester.
i've been binge watching all the college vids to prepare me when i go in the fall
After this video i fill better knowing Im going to be an international student. Im going to survive in a new environment , THANKS HAFU
ALSO, i tried bullseye, it is legit.
The creator is fun and entertaining; exactly what I need to brighten my mood. :D
Thank you for your all advising videos. These always help me to realise of anything .
What was the thing you found most helpful?
Hafu Guo making new friends, avoid bad habits and be confident in any situation etc. Thank you so much🙏
“Maybe you didn’t have high school friends” with a smile as he says it.
Good luck class of 2024 with your transition to college in these wild times. If I were you, I'd take a gap year. 😓
No! You can take classes online. Depending on where you live or what college you go to, they may change it to online. But don’t think it’ll be the online style where you go at your own pace. You’ll still have live lectures, where you can actually ask questions! I’m doing that this semester since COVID-19 came about in mid-March. They really want you to pass.
Why?
Why?
LucasBMSCaira a lot of colleges offer the same gen ed credits for cheaper this summer. It’s actually a good idea if you thought it would be worth it to have more time during the “real” school year.
Thought I was gonna be 2024 at the beginning of this year. 2025 it is!
Yeah imma go ahead and sub. All jokes aside, college will be starting this Sunday and it where i'll be moving into my dorm. Being a person who has social anxiety makes it really complex for me to get out of my comfort zone. I do want to make new friends and i do want to make an effort to forge this experience into something grand and enjoyable; although, i'm scared cause socializing isn't my forte so i fear that i may end up islolated or with little friends similarily like high school. Its just this constant battle in my head between my anxiety and my desire to socialize.
Same
H E L L.
Anxiety and stress inducing.
I mean that's what it'd be like for me next week 😩
This vdo was VERY well put!! Damn. Thank you
“Don’t be that guy” - I say that to my students so much that a graduating senior gave me a keychain with an H (for Hsu) and engraved “don’t be that person” on it 😂
Oh and btw yes it’s syllabi. Trust me, I’m a teacher 🙂
You give some good advice 😂😂😂
And thanks mrhsulaoshi for the English lesson
@@hafu They are both correct according to the Oxford Dictionary, syllabi is less frequent though, even my spell checker says syllabi is spelled incorrectly.
I try 🙂
Quan Pham interesting 🤔 literally every teacher/administrator/professor in several districts and colleges I've been at all use “syllabi”. Although I would buy that it can be both. It just sounds like one of those “both work” kinda things in English.
Good video from Paris ❤️I understand the English so happy
Am i the only one who's watching this coz of his energy and enthusiasm? Lol I'm just in my 9th grade
Its not hard at all
To transition from high school to college
Its the same thing.
College is the same thing , that you did
In high school.
Sitting in classes and doing school work.
However , one difference is, that now you get to pick, your classes
And you have to sign up for , and pay for them.
In high school , that was done for you.
By the way , congratulations
To you guys for going to college.
Its s lot....of work....on top of your life , which you should not neglect either.
Both are right syllabus and syllabi.
By the way i feel like u are my elder brother who gives me advice when I feel tensed ; my college admission the next year.
now loving collage💞
Hey me too! 😏
Ending part is so motivating
im terrified for college, but i also cant wait to get out of my hometown. i just dont feel prepared or in control in any way and its a scary feeling. im fucking pumped to meet more people like me and have more opportunities to party tho lmao
When you get to campus, everyone will be in the exact same position as you: some will be happy, some will be scared shitless hahaha, some will “think” they aren’t ready which isn’t true, and more. Everyone will be acting differently in VERY different ways but deep down, everyone is terrified. It’s a completely new world with so many new people, places, responsibilities, learning experiences, etc. always remember as you are entering this new world, everyone is in the same position. When you get settled in your dorm, especially with your roommates, talk to them!! Start up conversations!! Make the most of the experience and if you find something hard, RESPOND to the situation and find a solution to make it easier. Don’t ever dwell on a situation, respond to it! That’s the key! When it comes to people in general, you will find your community of people and friends who share similar beliefs, passions, interests, etc. but it does take time. Be patient but also have the courage to put yourself out there, explore campus before week 1, talk to people on your floor and if you are declared in a major try meeting people on the school’s social media chat for incoming freshmen who are in your major and meet up with them when you get to campus! Also use this opportunity to start meeting people in general. I’ll be a sophomore in college this upcoming fall! I learned a lot, I saw a lot, and I experienced A LOT my first year- but everything somehow falls into place. You’ve got this! Good luck!
nicholas schaack thank you so much! this really helps :)
I’ve followed you tips, now I annexed all of the dorms. I will next annex the college
this was so entertaining omg
I'ma Be Going to college Very soon, I'm gonna be Graduating from highschool in afew months, then to college, thanks for the tips💯

Awesome ending🤣🤣
My highschool is like college :))
Dorms, parties,dependent study, and living alone X))
how??
I’m a freshman, I really like your video and hope to see more video like these 🤩
More coming for sure 😉
I’m in a tough spot in my social life and I’m a sophomore and I’m already looking forward to college 💀
Damn man. I don't know what this is but this video making me feel some type of way.😂🤦🏿♂️
love this!!
not even a full semester into senior year and i’m already watching these vids😭
I going to be a senior in high school next school year and I've been panicking about what to expect in college and this helped alot tysm

_am currently watching this video at 5 am after finishing two separate projects in the span of 48 hours_
*Nailed it*
Dude, literally thank you
You’re welcome Joe Mama 😂
I'm a freshman and we are already in midterms now what I have learned is it's just so hard not having a friend so you have to really have friends!! Gladly I have made friends with other courses.
Wow you guys started early!! How are you liking college so far?
Hey ,four years later.
When he said you maybe weren’t that social in high school, I felt that DEEP WITHIN MY SOUL OMG. Half the people in my grade do drugs (not even joking) and then the others I don’t rlly fit with. (They’re usually racist. I’m from a small school in the middle of nowhere so it’s common and heh I’m Asian.)
I think the drugs are pretty common. Find some non-insecure people and make friends with them
Yeah I agree you can avoid them
Do you go to a mostly white or black school ? I feel bad for you if you do
best advice i’ve heard all year don’t knock it until you hate it😂
Very informative! Hahha
Ok babe i will do that,
Top fun of you here😜👋
Good luck Carl!! Hope you have lots of fun
We deserve to be happy, HAPPY I SAY 😭
Currently in 8th grade
Way too excited for college
I love you man!!!
I LOVE YOU MORE POPPA!!
Hafu Guo ... just started college last week. Wished I discovered your channel sooner. Your channel has helped me so much. Be looking further for future videos. Post notification is on, here sending you my appreciation.
I’m excited for you man!! I’m curious, what video helped you the most and how’d that affect you?
I was sitting down eating when I realized you have the exact same Wassily Kandinsky painting that I do behind me. Lol
In finland this sounds more like a transition from middle school to high school. Many start partying and you choose your classes, lots of skip hours too.
You are making me be inspired bra
Thank u so much... This helped me a lot... I'm from India and will apply for stanford and a few other ivy leagues for the class of 2024...this video helped me tons!!!
No worries!! Check out Bullseye cuz they help international students too
Mythili M.u did you get in? I am applying too next year!
Makes me so sad watching this knowing that I may be living at home taking online classes for my entire college career and miss out on so many experiences
WATCHING THIS AFTER I FINISHED MY FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE.
Is it true what he said?
@@patrickngui9279 for me it wasnt i went to a community college so there was no parties and if there were i didnt know about them.
This man too good
I’m about to be a sophomore in high school. I can’t freaking wait until college.
I feel like mostly at first just if stuff doesn’t work your always gunna have to talk to your roommate there probably gunna end up being your first friends
"I know you're either in high school or applying to college."
Me: *is still in middle school but doesn't gaf*
lol
Am i the only one worried for my grades and expenses? Homesick will also feel like hell
You are a saint sir.
hoodie strings giving me bro
An elevator wait 5 min? I’d love that!! I lived on the top 31st floor of my school moving day was like a 20 min wait 😂😂
currently packing for college and had the sudden urge to watch the goofy movie 2
Great vid 👍🏻
Saved it ☑ haha will watch it next yr, when I get into uni lol
Watch it now!!! You gotta prepare early 😉
