OMG CONGRATS
I saw "Brown University" and instantly thought of gossip girl so I'm totally subscribing lol.
Taylar Daniels AND she went to a private school☕️☕️
Bruh thats what’s I thought too
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:-)
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...
I'd love to hear your opinion on how to decide what to major in, what career you want to have, etc it'd be interesting to see you and your friends share your experiences!
Could you explain your choices of classes, your intended career/dream job + how Brown has facilitated your interests being fostered? I'd love to know. Thanks for sharing your Day, it was really nice to watch.
Leone Farquharson Planning on doing a video on these topics soon :-)
Just got rejected from Brown, so now I get to make myself sad by watching these lmao! Between USC and Cal for me right now so it's not like I don't have choices, but damn I really do love Brown :(
omg im literally in the exact same position HAHA
Ahahaha same and CZcams had to show up this right now
I mean.... CAL duh
hhahaah just i0ve been got rejected from PUCP, my university xddd
Is that to study there for postgraduate?
you always upload such amazing videos!! thank you!!
Have a great school year 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
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! ♥️☀️
Stick with pre-med. I am in a nurse and it's the most rewarding job you could possibly imagine!
Oh my gosh you mentioned me!! Lmao I’m going to Brown next year I can’t wait to see you sometime
Hey May!!! I just watched all of you videos and I love your channel so much!! Your videos have been super helpful keep doing you girl :))
Got in and so excited so I’m rewatching mays vlogs that got me interested in Brown in the first place :))
i loved this video!!! thank you so much for letting us know more about brown.
I just found your channel and tbh I love how chill you are throughout your videos!! I'm a college freshman, too, so it's always nice to see other peoples' experiences :)
I just found your channel! And I'm watching all your videos tonight!!
I love your videos! I'm a rising senior and have been doing a ton of research, and I'm really loving Brown.
Hey what’s up! Love the vids. Just wanted to stay keep on that premed grind! I’ve been there and all I can say is def take time to really enjoy undergrad.
Michael Gong thank you! needed that rn haha
This is my first video im watching by you. I am so in love already😂❤️! you definitely have a new subscriber!
yes loved this!! 🙌🏼 subbed xo
ASH & TAY I really want to go to either Brown or Columbia but I feel like I'm gonna be mad homesick 😞
Whats orgo?
💋💋💍❤️🥰zombie was
this makes me sooooooooooo excited to come to brown in the fall!!!! 💕💖🎉
I've been looking for this video!!
Just discovered your channel and I love it 💖
I go to JWU which is literally a 15 minute walk from Brown! I'm on Brown's campus so much I'm surprised I've never saw you before, but this video is really cool and it's nice to see other people who go to school in Providence!
Cute intro May! What you’re studying is hard out - all the best for your studies!
x Jen
OMG I’m taking creative writing currently!! In the class we’re starting to plan out our memoirs.
OMG THIS WAS PERFECTLY TIMED SINCE IM GOING THETE FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS FOR A SUMMER PROGRAM I HOPE IT GOES WELL
nice vid. good followup to my tour of brown last week... could u do a vid on brown's pre-med program and the accessibility of research opportunities at brown
*Let's go Bruno, Let's go!*
I remember one of my teachers that went to Brown University taught my class the chant.
Also, a question to add for your Q & A Vid: is dorm social life a thing or is it pretty much everyone friends with everyone, plus how does that affect the party scene?
Good morning, I was wondering if you could share some "college essentials" that you absolutely need for college. Thanks, and thanks for the video!
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 🌸🌸🙈🙈🙈
Just found your video in my recommendations. Really interesting seeing another college student doing their thanngg.
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.)?
Omg ur so pretty! Love your blue puffer jacket too! 👍
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!
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 ☺️😊
Hi May! I love your channel so much! Brown is famous for liberal learning, such as learning differences of cultures and evaluation of human behaviour. Could you share more about your liberal learning experiences? Thankssss!
Hello May! I was considering the Public Health concentration at Brown. Besides having a great professor, are there any other aspects you enjoy about your Healthcare class? Thanks, and I love your videos :)
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
hi! i read you poem about your grandfather and it reminded me of mine bc I'm shanghainese and call him a gong as well and haven't spoken with him in a while. I will def check out your college help services when I apply to colleges this fall.
Amy Lao Glad you could connect to my poem :-)
Love your videos! How did you grow so fast?
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!
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.
Wendy's College Lifestyle thanks so much for responding to me! I really appreciate the thorough answer :)
Kate Marsh I’m glad my answer was helpful! Have a beautiful day Kate 🤗🤗
5:20 when she said you’re still trying to figure where she’s at in college
I’m a junior in high school and I still don’t know if I’m gonna make it to college
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.
the moment where u were talking about having an existential crisis and mentioned considering switching to lit/arts... that was my ENTIRE first year of university! i'm majoring in Economics at the University of Melbourne and i often wondered whether it was better to switch to a literature major. in the end i realised that sometimes when there are just so many good choices out there, it's easy to get paralysed methinks
I was just casually watching then fire started playing and it surprised me 😂
Girlll where is that jacket from in your thumbnail??
The college searching process is lowkey stressful only gets worse when i start the application process next semester 🙃🙃
loveee ❤️
what camera do you use? great vid btw
What camera do you use for vlogging?
Make a video about pre-med at Brown!
You’re so pretty!💓
:-)
Yes please! can you do a research video.
What kind of camera do you use? The quality is so good! Hang in there, orgo isn't so bad once you start mechanisms!!!! Clutch prep is a great resource, used it a lot when I took Orgo 1 to solidify certain concepts :)
I use a Canon G7X Mark II!
Please make a campus tour video!
Hey May! Would you like to share your journey to Brown highlighting how you made it so far beautifully?
I can't believe you get poke at your dining hall I'm shook
I literally love you haha you are so fun and not acoustic
What pre reqs do you suggest I do at my community college this summer? I want to be a pre med major too but I want to get started early going into my senior year 😅
FIFTY SOMETHING good lord thats not California weather. Its like 70s here still in December
Hi! I'm going to Brown Next year! was wondering if you have any tips for incoming frosh like me :p
The struggle is the part of success!!!
Moe Sun I wholeheartedly agree
Does anyone you know work at that camp kesem thing?
So sweet. Brown's awesome
I wish I was smart enough for brown but nah. My cousins went there and Stanford by far the most beautiful campuses I've been to
Rainy and wet. It’s 6am and I’m on my way to school already:P
Hi may! I’m a junior in highschool in New Bedford Massachusetts , about 40 min away from providence & I was just wondering what your gpa was and act/sat scores were when applying to brown?
Maleah Santos watch my other college advice videos! I talk about all of that
I live for her intro I wish it was longer
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
So pretty ♡
What kind of camera do you use?
Yooo BTS Fire was playing at 15:31!
Bunny dream oof
I’m gonna be a freshmen in high school but I’m already thing of applying to URI or Brown maybe providence college?
Hi May! I found out that I got into Brown a couple days ago and I just wanted to thank you for all your videos! I remember watching your How I Got Into The Ivy League video months ago and thinking I would never get in. However, your advice helped a lot and now I'm excited to be joining the class of 2022! Maybe I'll see you on campus haha.
Ems congratulations!!!
Omg it’s literally 8:09 am when I watched this 😂
Glad I found your channel! Really liked the vibe of Brown and Providence when I visited. My mom worked a lot with mice because she worked at a lab in college I think. Good luck on figuring out what you want to do! Also, your professor's "steal his look" meme was great lmao
thanks! and lmao chem professors here are lit
What do u use to edit your videos?
Hi May! I just hope you know that you're my role model, from the tips of your dyed, curled hair, to the bottoms of your Vans! I just wish that I can be as successful and awesome as you are and I would DIE if you replied to this!!! I LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS
Cassandra Liu for sure, I’ll drop new videos from my grave. thanks for watching fam 🙏🏼
I am watching this at the exact time she woke up
You’re literally going to my dream college studying in my dream major. Wow. My inspiration.
I really enjoy your videos, don't let anything discourage from doing them cuz If you make the topics more interesting and give more advise for students it could be life changing
those mangoes are literally what i live for
Did u find out who that bunny belonged to or if someone adopted it?
I graduate highschool in two years (I'll be a junior this upcoming school year) and I just want to know if you'll still be interested in reviewing college essays by then 😅 I need all the help I can get. I have big goals
you have a new subbie!
Just wondering but do you honestly think someone with a 3.4 unweighted GPA and a 3.9 weighted GPA could get into Brown? I am a full time dual enrolled student and I bombed my first semester of college. (Also, I LOVE your videos and I hope my dorm will look half as good as yours!)
My Huynh probably not sorry
What happens if your professor does not show up to class? Thanks hope you reply
we just had a sub that day haha
I live in RI and finding a CZcamsr who even knows what the state is is so bizarre to me LOL, but yeah our weather is so weird
I actually really like RI LOOL coming from California the weather here is actually not as cold as I expected!
May Gao yeah it's really nice, especially in the summer/fall. If you're staying for the summer you definitely should go to Scarborough beach, it's gorgeous there
Angelina Antonizio I love Scarborough! I live in NC
I live in RI too! And I agree it is super rare.
Omg Serena wanted to go there
oml i heard bts' fire and now im happy
i love your dorm :(
I live down the street of brown omgggg
Hellow I’m a Currently in Biology major and I will like to know to have a internship at Rhode Island hospital
