I felt the awkwardness through the screen , lol . It seemed a little weird . But , whenever you feel lonely , I say pray . It'll strengthen you and give you hope to keep pressing through , always know Jesus loves you .
Amen🙏
+Aari Chanel SAmee. YAAS Jesus is BAE
People are SOOOOO dramatic omg. you saw 0.5 seconds of her roomates and already have "negative vibes"... smh. OF COURSE it may feel different or awkward because she literally just met them, can she warm up to her roommates first before yall start assuming negativity geeeeez?! Have fun Jayla!
girl...
I just saw on Instagram that Angela Simmons will be starting there next week!!!!
Calm down, it's not that serious. People were simply stating their opinion based on what they saw. I thought that they were just being kind of awkward, partly because they don't know Jaya that well, but who's to say I'm wrong and they are actually mean? This is the first vlog they've been in so anyone's guesses on their personalities are premature...for all we know Jayla could not like them by the end of the year.
+xxmaryk lol exactly, plus her snap vent got us worried, forgive us for caring. smh.
+xxmaryk right, smh
I don't think your roommates are giving bad vides at all. They're a different culture. Enjoy the variety it will only enhance the wonderful person you already are.
I literally love the comment section!! But Jayla take everything as a learning lesson. Being unconformable is not fun in no way, shape, or form. But its the stage that makes us GROW!! Stay Positive and don't forget to Pray!
So true!
I love you guys support but sometimes you guys over analyze and are SO NEGATIVE! Just because I'm comfortable talking to a camera doesn't mean everyone else is. Most people are camera shy but they get use to it and eventually their personality will show through. 2. Do you really think I'm going to record someone when they don't want to be on camera? That being said don't talk about my roommates. I wouldn't put anyone in my video I didn't like. 3. All the people in this video are aware that they are in this video. Talk bad about me okay cool however, I can't have y'all talking bad about other people in my videos. Duh! They will see it. *THIS WILL BE MY LAST VLOG FOR A WHILE.
+Jayla Koriyan I love your vlogs, keep doing you and don't be discouraged by negative people! xx
😎😍👏 I most definitely agree. it seems people live to find unnecessary drama. that negativity has got to stop. more people should have more minds and stop making assumptions. your roommates seemed super sweet.
+Jayla Koriyan we love you so much more keep on the good work you are amazing!
+Brogan Tutty 😊
+Jayla Koriyan :(
I had to watch this twice to see what everybody was talking about. I saw absolutely NOTHING but people trying to get to know one another and find their way. Tf everybody talking about? Everybody was smiling the entire time and having fun.
Right
Exactly!! I totally agree... Seemed like nothing was wrong..
+AUDI2014 I agree with you. People always try to make something out of nothing. I thought this was an amazing vlog!
I must be the only one who didnt feel that vibe you all are talking about lol. They seem inviting
Same I felt as though everyone was really nice and friendly. They were just kind of awkward in front of the camera at first but thats expected. But people always try to find something negative to focus on. But im happy Jaylas in my city. I hope to run into her one day maybe.
+Kiki Jasmine Right! They're just really chill.
+Kiki Jasmine I agree with you. I feel like at one point everyone was having a good time and was trying to be filmed while they were all singing/rapping. It will take time, but from the vlog i did not get any bad vibes
+Kiki Jasmine right! she even let Jayla do her hair, she peeked her head in at 24:30 to get in the vlog and asked her for fashion advice.
Me either I watched a few times and I'm lost why they perceived it that way. But Kayla seems happy so hey...
(Sigh) FIT so many memories !! Welcome to NY boo!
You two should meet up!!!
Jayla, you're such an amazing person with an outgoing personality! I'm sure you'll fit in just fine, I didn't like seeing you sad like you were about to cry 😘
Me either. It made me sad. Praying for a great year Jayla! Stay motivated!
Since Jayla is in New York; Jayla and Aaliyah jay should do a collab
+Tianna Surls yes exactly my two favs
yaasss
They really should!!!!!
Omg yesss
Omg yes jayla and Aaliyah jay would be good friends
the vibe that i'm getting from the roommates is that they're not comfortable being vlogged. can we blame them though? They didn't sign up for that when they agreed to have a roommate. I really enjoy Jayla's vlogs but I am empathetic for the roommates. So maybe she should not include them.
Exactly. They seem really nice. People are not used to a camera being in their face. Jaylas's the youtuber not them. Im sure she asked them and they agreed to be apart of her blog but that doesnt mean they are used to it. They did seem to loosen up a bit towards the end of the vlog. I think she'll be fine and she seems to be enjoying herself so far.
***** Yea I was only imagining the conversations that were had about "the girl with the camera" because that is A LOT for people to take in. They have no ideas where they will be seen and by whom.
+Christina Hawthorne I do agree that this maybe what causes their uncomfortable /awkward uninviting vibe that we saw. Hope they get used to it and that is all that was wrong !
abjnd&o
I kinda like her roommates...I don't sense the weird
vibes. I guess you'd be able to tell in person
Me tooooo the one with the wavy bob is adorns and seems cool
I feel like all those ppl are fake I don't think Jayla will be the best a friends I know this is a big culture shock for her but it's also good to see and experience other things/ppl hopefully she'll find her clique and I wish her nothing but the best.... I love you Kayla
Jayla *
You should meet up with @MsAaliyahJay So she can show you some real fun in New York
I agree ! Lol
Yes Really 🙌
Ahh yes I agree!
yesssss I would love that colab
yes omg
Girl, let this be a lesson. Don't vent about your roomies on social media because as you can see, it can get misconstrued or taken out of context. With that being said, take your break from vlogging and enjoy this new experience that you are embarking on! Get to know your peers and your new city and just have fun! You're making us HBCU grads proud : )
But .... Jayla you were the one on snap chat talking about your roommates ... How they left you .., obviously when this vlog came out Your real supporters were gonna be on the fence cause it's like oh no yall not gonna do my jayla wrong ! But we still love you & please don't stop the vlogs it gives us college students something to look forward too ! Love you jayla !!
I really wasn't talking about my roommates. I was talking about one person. A single person. And if you still don't get it then you just need to stop trying to figure it out.
+Jayla Koriyan I luv you and all, but you need to chill out. You chose to post on CZcams and you know what comes with it. quit being rude and pissy towards your followers... geez
+pinkmonkey butt Ikr. She really needs to chill. She should've been more clear in her snap. She made it seem like her roomates didnt like her and was ditching her. smh
Gabrielle Taylor exactly!
+Melinda Dupas her reply to this was definitely not called for. like wtf do u expect? u didnt specify that you were talking about one person. ppl are actually looking out for you. how are u seriously mad and talking like that to them? like wow. just wow
i felt uncomfortable just watching this lmao. her room mates.....give a weird vibe.
I did too, a lot of them were giving me bad vibes they were all like " what is going on" "oh..." Like it was weird and she's so sweet and so much fun
+Breezy same
im glad i aint the only one.
So did I felt so out of my element (weird) and I wasn't even there..... hopefully she will find a good group of people that she vibes with and I hope that she has a good year
Yes! I had to come check the comments and make sure I wasn't the only one 😳
I went to an HBCU and it's so much of a culture shock after you graduate.. it'll get better! The HBCU has a family vibe for sure and with NYC being soo big it might take time to adjust to. Good luck!!!
I also went to an HBCU as well actually I went to the same HBCU she did (UMES). She was my RA (Plaza Hall). I think going to college in general is a culture shock because I had such a hard time adjusting when I first came on campus being the only one of a few from a different state and everything being so new to me I isolated myself...than I started to warm up and get in the mix of things... it's nothing better than having the experience of attending an HBCU it's like one big family reunion 😂
+Konnie J. ahh my dream is to go a HBCU! ( I'm AA ) Im only a junior in high school right now but i live in an area where it is predominately white and mexican. It kind of sucks being like 1 out 6 black people in my school tbh. My whole life i've been around mexicans, whites or asians. I've always wanted to go to a high school with a lot of black people but that probably won't happen since ill be graduating next year. Why was going to a HBCU a culture shock? im curious to know lol.
+Konnie J. I went to UMES too. I graduated this past May 😄
+Jewel Methu She was saying college in general is a culture shock, but the RIGHT HBCU is the best decision one can make! #NCAT #AGGIEPRIDE #GOLDENDELIGHT
I just read your comment and others- Look at this as a growth opportunity. Meaning you are getting ready to go into the fashion industry and it is brutal. You will have to be able to deal with negativity and harsh critiques. It doesn't mean that you aren't awesome but you will never be able to please everyone and people will give your opinions and don't simply give up. Take a deep breath and enjoy your amzing life
Those dorm rooms SCREAMED struggle.
GoldieAmour students usually move the beds around and make more room. and she probably got coed dorms. there’s two others named kauffman and alumni and their huge and have really good sized kitchens
Lol jayla just be walking all in people's rooms and stuff unannounced 😂😂
i would be so freaked out if Jayla just walked in my apartment with a camera recording.. i wonder if she asks if its okay to record.
She does.
+Krystal Patrice maybe she should ask about recording their private bedrooms first. the one girl was like what are you doing,she had no clue
maybe it was just awkward because it was the first time and they were all still new to each other, but i feel like Jayla wouldnt do it without asking

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TO THE PART WHEN THEY STARTED RAPPING TO NICKI'S SONG
I loved the twerking guys.
I honestly think that vloggers create and influence the atmosphere in their comment sections. I love you Jayla and I encourage you to take responsibility. I agree that it is important to protect those who are in your vlogs, but remember that we knew NOTHING about your roommate until you mentioned her on snapchat. I think that what you said on snapchat was done in anger/frustration before you calmed down and forgave her for leaving you on multiple occasion within 3days. You didn't show or mention that you no longer was upset about that situation, thus your viewers were left with a negative impression of your roommate that YOU created. Otherwise, your viewers would've just thought that your roommate was just shy. Also, everyone did not participate in bad-talking your roommate, so going off on everyone (especially with the unconditional support some of us have given you) looks like you're choosing to neglect your supporters instead of balancing it all. Remember, your journey at FIT is only a year, but the Jayla Koriyan brand is long lasting. Lastly, I wish you well and hope that your time away from vlogging helps you to devote more time into your education and networking. Much love😘
+Tavia Baker totally agree,
Sorry this completely off topic, but you're the only other person on CZcams that I have seen with my name.
+Tavia Baker Well said!
As a new yorker we can be a bit funny with bubbly personalities like yours Jayla, but give the roommates time to warm up to understand you and what you do....socialization is really important in college and new York it self can be a culture shock so give it time.... you'll blend in well and you'll see how quick a year goes by... all the best and welcome to NY....
Jayla! It breaks my heart seeing you like this. I wanted to cry when you were talking about how you don't identify with the people there. And seeing you just eat and seem kinda depressed in your room really made me tear up a little. Keep your head up beauty!❤️
99¢ pizza? Say no more. I will be in NY soooon and very soon. Lol
And your roommate is so pretty & she can dress.
yup theyr're everywhere in nyc and taste soooo good lol
Th good ny pizza is not the 99cent pizza
+Brit Brat Lol the price doesn't effect the taste and they make better sale those dollars add up real quick, $1 slices are just as good as the $3-4 slices.
Which ones do you suggest in Manhattan, NY? I just went there this past weekend and all the $1 pizzas looked gross, but I never got to taste them. I am going again and want to know where the good ones are hiding.
OMg why is her roommate, jackie, so poppin??? I am so here for this friendship that is blooming!
Hopefully I get accepted for the spring semester and we can meet :) I'm nervous to go there all along but I know it will be such a positive experience :) hope you enjoy your first semester there and I'm sure you will meet new people and have a great year!! :)
+YunnieRose I love your hair color.
2BOLD4U
Thanks hun :)
***** You're welcome.
I know you're excited! I hope you get accepted!! 😊
Did you get accepted??
Jayla,
I am not sure if you will get to read this, but here it goes. I started watching you (and other youtubers) about 3 years ago. I almost never comment. However, I think it is important that you know that your videos have helped me battle depression and mental illness. Even though I have not been able to have the "traditional college life", because of my disability, I have been able to live vicariously through you! :) I have even gained the confidence to enroll into my local college (after having to stop my education 3 times before). I want to thank you for being brave enough to put yourself out there. You continue to inspire me and others like me. Please do not let negativity get you down and please continue to fulfill your destiny.
Love,
Christine
JAYLAAA girl I FEEEEELLLLL you! It probably is a culture shock coming from an HBCU, but the thing my grandmother always told me when I was transfered to a private school where I was one of 3 African-American girls in my grade of 50 people....(yes I graduated with only 50 people) was to stay true to yourself. You will find the right crowd to be around and the right people to become friends with. Your a loving and beautiful spirit and anyone would be lucky to be friends with you. Don't change for nobody girlfriend!!!
finalllllly!!!! its just so helpful to see how you got your life together after feeling that way. things like this happen to everyone and just witnessing how strong you actually are and how you just told yourself that you wouldnt let it ruin your experience, it makes us want to get over everything! amazing, fun and GLAM as always!
These videos motivate me to go to college
seriously if it wasnt for jayla i would have never started looking into stuff early
Forget the vma's Jayla has uploaded a vlog🙌
Awwwww Jayla I know exactly how you feel. I moved from London England to Columbus Ohio and the culture shock is REAL and I often feel like an outsider as a black girl from London working at Abercrombie and Fitch. However you have a good sense of "self" you will be ok and when you're having off days just embrace them, work through them and remind yourself of your purpose and what your came to achieve. Anyway good energy will attract good energy at the right time and you will make friends :)
I just really love and admire you. You are so brave Jayla keep following your dreams don't be discouraged you got this! I'm rooting for you!
OMG i can so relate to your move. Im from North Carolina also and i now live in NYC...This January makes 7yrs. I moved here from raleigh. I moved to nyc for a change. I also have a serious love of fashion. I wish you the best of luck here. Welcome to nyc fellow north carolinian lol
Dope vlog! Make magic in the big city!
GO JAYLA! New experiences take us out our comfort zone & help us to grow mentally, physically and are fun. You can do it girl!
I am so proud of you Jayla. When you feel out of your comfort zone that's how you know you have done something right. keep it up and stay beautiful. I'm already graduated from college and you are such an inspiration to me. You're killing the game and have a great school year!
I was just about to take a quiz hmmm lol well it isn't due until Tuesday so I'm okay
the roommate with the wand curls is soooooo adorable
Jayla just wanna wish you Good Luck on your semester an your new journey in NYC! Enjoy it live it up! An Ms Jackie is POPPIN I like yall together!
I live for u like fr I look up to you girl ur so confident & rly doing big things out here. U have my support 100%!
She was talking about certain girls in her building that left her behind not the girl she share her room with. She also stated that in her snap as well but I see yall chose to ignore that! smh and why would she give those girls any shine anyway and put them in her vlog when they clearly don't deserve it! Of course she would share the good times she had in her vlog because she is not messy. You guys are WAY too in yall feelings about this and always ready to see some drama! Think about it, when she went through it with Dom that wasn't on the vlog either and had ppl guessing what happened but couples go through it all the time and ppl get mad when couples constantly argue and make up on social media but when she keeps that private yall get mad! Moral is, snap chat gives her the space to vent about the things she choose not to put on CZcams so chill out!
literally everytime the roommates were on camera I was watching like a hawk for a side eye or any other kinda look😳😳 don't play with my Jayla y'all!!
I had the same culture shock when going to college...hang in there, things will get better! Continue to strive to enjoy your experience and show New York what you are made of! 💕
Jayla I'm do proud of you, I hope you keep going strong. I will be praying for you. I just know this year with guide you and have you get to another level. STAY FOCUSED ON YOUR BRAND AND WHAT MAKES JAYLA HAPPY AND YOU WILL BE JUST FINE!
I go to FIT so I know what you mean about not being to identify to people there. It's a bit rough but I would recommend joining BRAG and BSU. I have friends in those clubs and they love it because its people they identify. BSU also hosts fashion shows and parties which are my favorite events at school because it's with people I can relate to.
OMG I felt so sad for jayla in this video it's like I could feel what you are going through u such a sweet an fun person stay true to who u are an keep doing you ayeeee love u girly
Aw Jayla I'm so excited for all the amazing things you're gunna get to do! Hope New York lives up to your expectations xx
Jayla I can relate to you on the subject of transitioning from a place where you know your surroundings and familiar identities, to the total opposite. I'm so happy I seen this because you're so strong and you just gave me a different mindset to go by when I start school this week.
lol i peeped that watermelon u had when yall went to Chinatown! But great vlog, love the hair and I hope you're enjoying New York!!
MONSTER👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 they killed it!!!
Honestly, no clue what everyone is talking about. Her roommates seem really nice and might just be nervous about the camera? I'm nervous whenever someone even wants to just take a picture of me, so I understand why people would be nervous about Jayla vlogging. Please respect her roommates and respect her. This is an exciting time for Jayla, and she doesn't need y'alls negativity!
y'all outfits were super cute jayla like that floral jacket was everythinggg and you did her hair so pretty. I love how you're not afraid to vlog in front of others and just do you!! 💕
Girl I watch your vlogs like I do a TV show. you are so inspiring and I love you. Everyone has there down days but I am praying that your time at FIT will be amazing, I love you beautiful, I enjoy you and I love having a little slot in your life. thank you for your hard work and effort to your subbies! Love you, good luck, and I am praying for your success :*
Go to Webster on a Thursday .. Ladies free. Experience it once or the Labor Day parade on the 7th. Fashion Night out is coming up. Go to the high line. DUMBO Brooklyn and the promenade. The Brooklyn Museum has a dope sneaker exhibit until October the first week.
Jayla, I'm so happy for you! I know that moving away from your family and having to readjust, etc. must be one of the hardest things ever. But I admire you because you're living your life! And you make it look so easy. Keep doing what you're doing girl. I wish you the best and the many blessings that are to come. God bless.
You will have so much fun!! I do miss living in the city and will probably be blogging about it every now and then :) Best of luck this semester and have a great time!
When you were talking about being out of your element the first time like I kinda saw a sadness . I almost thought you were gonna cry. I went to PWI and yeah its definitely a shock. Just keep God first and stay prayed up. Its gonna be okay
I've seen those same three men on the subway all the time! haha!
I think I told you before but I moved to NY after I graduated from Spelman almost a year ago and it was hard for the first month, but with the help of my college friends who moved here too, I was able to adapt to my new environment. I would love to show you around the city and take you to fun beauty and fashion events! :)
I got so teary eyed when you were explaining going to the party. I can empathize. I've been there. You're going to do great, you have such a wonderful spirit and great personality. I watch your VLOGS for inspiration to go out and be more outgoing and do things with my life. Have fun, study hard and I look forward to seeing more vlogs.
Good luck jayla im really proud and excited for you congrats cant wait until you give us the next update
The twerking boy and Jackie gave me life. I like the curly head girl too lol.
Wow, it's crazy seeing you go through that. Looked like you were about to cry :(
Next semester I'm transferring to a PWI/C & I'm super nervous because of things like that, but maybe you should link up with some NYC youtubers like AaliyahJay..that way you'd have friends to hang with when your roomies leave or whatnot. I think you're going to do great tho. You have an amazing personality & on the bright side it is only for a year.
Cant wait to see this journey xx
I wish you nothing but blessings and an amazing experience in NYC! Keep the blogs coming! I really enjoyed this one!
I had to come back and watch this... I am soooo proud of you man! You're studying exactly what I want to study & hopefully one day I will 🙏🏾 Much love to you !
Jayla, I'm sorry about all the negative comments and I understand why you would want to stop vlogging for a while. But I really hope you decide against that! I love your vlogs and was really looking forward to seeing your journey in New York. Don't let the negative people keep you from doing something that you and your subscribers absolutely love about your channel!
I can relate from NCCU to K state it was a huge culture shock! Hbcu to pwi took me awhile to get use too but I was open to diversity! I am alone lol but that's my personal choice. I know you will succeed! Peace and blessings!✌🏾️💞
Just stay positive Jayla! I live in the concrete jungle as well and i deal with those same "weird vibes" too. Ny is amazing but in some ways it can break a bitch down. Thats just the reality of it, but with a good mind set and a positive attitude you will def conquer. We're routing for you! you got this girl!
I pray everything gets better have fun and ENJOY boo. Congrats too, on your launch
Fit dorms are way to small, one closet plus you guys are basically on top of each other. Wow Praise my dorm room
The dorms really do suck lol. I'm moving to get my own apartment next semester
Congratulations again. Rose Kimberly and a couple other CZcamsrs go to FIT you should look them up. And Rose is an RA there in her senior year.
I loved the monster flow that everybody was in on #Soofun!! All the best for New York kill it 🎉🎉🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️ I will always love your vlogs, do what you need to but please come back when you ready😘😃
Everyone seems pretty nice! As you guys get to know each other things won't seem as awkward. Enjoy your experience in New York! You're there for the learning and network opportunities more than anything!
it seems like ure having so much fun. i think u should give your roommates a chance to warm up to the vlogging though. bc they seemed like they were getting a little annoyed like "omg shes recording again" one girl said. You know you got a strong personality girl. I think you'll be good friends with those guys that were dancing though lol
+Sammi Lewis oh. it could be bc shes older than them. shes a junior, theyre freshman, right?
😩😍 Jackie romper is so cute!
I love New York! Enjoy Girl....I love to see young people..people in general, following their dreams.
This vlog brought me to happy tears! I hope and pray my lil sister can have a fraction of your experiences when she heads to school everyone seemed soooo cool and fun! Wishing you the BEST! Thx for vloggin and being yourself!
Girl wait Lemme warm up my enchiladas so I can watch this yassssss
I'm from NY YAAAAY I HOPE I BUMP INTO YOU ONE DAY LOL AND MUCH SUCCESS TO YOU IN COLLEGE ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Im so happy for you Jayla ! you go girl. youre sooo blessed.
Jayla ! I know adjusting is hard but you got this! Don't let internet ppl or others around you make you feel some type of way! Congrats and good luck in New York! I
Ya'll need to calm down, didn't she say she's only gonna be there for 1 yr... and an academic yr isn't even a full yr. she'll be fine and she doesn't have to be besties w/ her roomates, she'll meet plenty of other people
your roomate is really pretty... idk if there's a roommate tag but you and your roomie should do one..
Hope you're enjoying your experience. This is an amazing opportunity you have. NYC is the bomb, I'm a native New Yorker living in TX now. The world is yours baby girl.
I loved this vlog. I just went through an orientation week for grad school last week too but rather roommates I got to hang out with the people in my program. My program is pretty tiny. There is only about 15-20 people. I moved to the Bay from Chicago but I also lived in NYC for while. We all have to make adjustments. Your roommates seem cool, and I loved the scene when everyone was rapping! Have fun in NYC, enjoy FIT, and don't worry about what anyone has to say. Be blessed!
Looked fun to me like new people just getting to know each other don't see the issue but then again I am a new subscriber and probably older than alot of your subscribers who seem to see "shade" and negativity in every situation
I knew when you said you were going to FIC that you'd experience a culture shock, luckily you have that personality where you can mix with anyone and I'm kinda like that since majority of my life I've lived in a white area. Now just giving you a heads up, some white ppl (and from this vlog, I guess some Asians too lol) can be a little racist and/or taken a back by some black people's bold personalities but the rest are fine and I'm sure you can hang with :)
Aww Jayla its okay!! Being uncomfortable is just going to make you grow. I think this was a great move for you and your roommates are pretty!
Awe Jayla hope you feel better hun I know it is a big culture shock but I know you will do great at FIT and you will have a wonderful experience in NY you never know who you can meet! So happy and proud of you :)
Here I am like... Yup gotta meet Jayla when she touches down in NY... Whilst thinking that you pass right by my job within the first 10 seconds of the vlog! Coincidence or nah? lol Welcome to NY!!
Oh I'm Dezirae by the way lol Check out my channel
+Dezirae B lol already a subscriber been watching your videos since forever!!!
Angela Simmons is enrolled at FIT too maybe yall will meet 😍
Really love these NYC blogs, keep them coming!! watched from beginning to end. May you have a safe and prosperous school year hun!
I just want to say that I'm so happy for you Jayla!!! It's hard moving to a new city, let alone state but you handled everything so well. You're truly an inspiration and as soon as I can I'm definitely buying a glam dress!
Honestly Jayla it'll get better once you find "your crowd" but it could get worse than what you have already experienced. I attend a PWI at the moment but plan to transfer to a HBCU because of the racial controversy and just pure ignorance and judgment. Stay strong
+Allison Isaac Just a thought, transferring because of racial issues isn't the best idea. When you enter the real word you wont be surrounded with black people. There will be other races, and there will be racism, it is life. I feel that going to PWI gives you a sense of what REAL life will be like. In the work place, more than likely it will be primarily white, so you have to learn how to deal and operate.
I understand,but Im in my prime of growing and developing as a student and person and having that energy isn't allowing me to thrive at the moment. I will say that going to a PWI has given me a sense of what to expect,but for now I'm all about my grades and being in a society that won't interfere with that.
The roommates aren't trying to seem rude. Most Asian women are often secluded around non Asian woman so they give off this awkward "don't talk to me" vibe but they're really sweet once you get to know them. My dad is Korean and my cousins act like that so I'm telling from experience.
Yay Jayla 🌸💕 so happy for you moving to new york. Your roommates seem mad chill and your room view is to dye for.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with this transition, I have social anxiety so its hard for me to adjust and make friends in new situations. Your vlogs make me want to try and step out of my comfort zone so thanks a bunch for filming 😌. I really love your new hair btw 💓
