  • Hi friends! Take a peek into my daily life at college. I'm a first-year at Brown University concentrating in Public Health. Watch until the end for a brief Q&A! I answered some questions left in the comments of my previous videos.

    hi may! i love your videos sm, but do you think you could film a video talking about your experience at brown university so far (such as the general mental health there, the professors, classes, vigor level, etc). thank uuu:-)

  • @callmeashleey
    @callmeashleey Před 6 lety +137

    Hi May! I was wondering if you could talk about being pre-med in one of your next videos, like your thoughts so far, how you choose your classes, resources from Brown that are specific to help pre-med (if any), etc. Love your videos! I'm a senior in hs and your vids really helped with the college application process. Still dreading ivy day though...

  • @Justjess29
    @Justjess29 Před 6 lety +28

  • @LeoneFarquharson

    When you said that it was in the 50's in Providence I was honestly really shocked and then when you added that it's California weather, I was even more shocked, considering that I live in SoCAL. It's currently in the high 60's/ low 70's and it barely touches the 50's. I just found it funny, keep up the great work! ♥️☀️

    • @WendyGonzalezmed
      @WendyGonzalezmed Před 6 lety

      Kenny Jung uhh such a great idea! I’m a junior at Brown and my two most important college essentials are my laptop because every class I need it! And good walking shoes : my sneakers and birkinstocks hard footbed I have back issues and flat feet so gotta stay comfy on those long campus walks 🌸🌸🙈🙈🙈

  • @lorenag7488

    hi May!! I was wondering how difficult the courses are at Brown and if there is a particular personality trait that makes up most of Brown or is it evenly spread out (ex. introverts, extroverts, nerds, athletes, etc.)?

    Please do video research and how to get into clinical research project, it’s really important for me!! By the way i love your videos!

    • @WendyGonzalezmed
      @WendyGonzalezmed Před 6 lety +3

      Sasha Chuchula I will tell you how it’s not hard! I’m wendy a junior at brown :) you pick the top 3 people you want to research with ! 1. You go on pubmed or google scholar type in their name, and read 2-3 papers from each researcher which you will have free access to in college. 2. You email them asking them one question about their papers and that you are interested in research with them 3. You meet have a few insightful questions prepared ask them about their journey in research and ask if they have a project you can join. ONE or all of them will say yes 🙈🙉 once you start college I will gladly help you draft emails ☺️😊

  • @jessicali3849
    @jessicali3849 Před 6 lety +4

    When she said “the weather has been so nice it’s only 50 something degrees” I remembered the time I went to Disney and it was 55 degrees and I was FREEZING, other girls were just walking around in shorts lol. I live in Puerto Rico so “nice” weather for me is 80, we’re always on the 90 degrees and up

    hey! I'm really loving your videos :) how's the mental health of everyone on campus? I'm just interested to know, since a lot of elite schools are known for causing problems on that front. your videos are so helpful btw!

    • @WendyGonzalezmed
      @WendyGonzalezmed Před 6 lety +4

      Kate Marsh I love this question Kate! I’m a junior here at Brown and let me just says CAPS (counseling and psychological services) is always full of people. Mental health is very easy to let slip away in college because there are so many things to do it is our last. What’s important is to stay mentally healthy and put it first by practicing techniques early on such as mindfulness so that they’re second nature before starting college !! :) not just brown it’s an issue in The US as a whole and in colleges you will find depression, anxiety, mood disorders anywhere you go.

    Hi May,
    my morning wasn’t that great to be honest.
    Everyday I see my crush and know that I will never have a chance... I laugh with him, I talk to him, I look at him but he is just a friend. He will never be more. I don’t know how long I can deal with that.. It hurts sooo much. Sometimes I wish I had never met him so I wouldn’t have to feel those butterflies in my stomach while realizing that he will never be mine. He is my first serious love.

    Hey there! I hope you are doing great at Brown, I just wanted to ask if there is something like popularity in Brown. I would guess no because of the types of people and the reason they are there isn’t that one but the concept of popularity drains me and I’m tired of it so I really want a university where I’ll care about true friendships, not popularity
