As a college freshman, you're going to be naĂŻve and make a lot of mistakes. That's okay. BUT if you can avoid some of the common college freshman mistakes, you can save yourself a lot of pain. My goal is to share my college experience with you so you can go back to school with everything you need to know.
Let me give you some college freshman advice. You're going to wish you knew these advice before your first day in college. Freshman year is the first year you get to live away from your parents (if you're lucky enough). This new-found freedom feels liberating. You can literally do anything you want. But hopefully, my college tips will help you avoid some regrets. For example, don't rush into a relationship in university. I know us Asian kids weren't allowed to date in high school but it's better to work on yourself than to be with someone you donât like. Another thing is to that college is NOT as easy as high school. You actually must develop good work habits, learn study tips to be more productive, to get good grades. Don't mistake college classes for high school classes because the difficulty scales exponentially. Also, don't skip classes, and when you do, make sure you catch up! This way you can avoid falling behind and failing your midterm. Cramming two days before the exam won't work anymore. Thank me later or you could thank me now ;) Because later doesn't always come. Don't regret it.

Don't play league. Sleep well, exercise and eat well. Also take advantage of the college's free counseling, mental health is important too.
â@Isaac Liu nah just play league
I actually needed to see this comment... I play league almost 80% of my free time, and I end my day unconsciously regretting not being productive, so thanks for this! :)

I got a freaking 13%

@@blueberrykiss4130 I know ...đ€Ș But I passed the class somehow
Are the percentages to pass a test the same in college then they are in secondary which is 40% ?
The dating thing is too accurate đ€Ł all asian parents are against it wether you're Chinese arab or turkish
yeah that's so true
Bro even Indian also
@@omeshkumar6200 yeah Indians are also asians
@@asmasm9736 know but you didn't mention it
So I was just saying
Because we have so many Asian countries and not every parents are against it
Mexican parents too! Unless you actually don't want to date, then for some reason they act like you're crazy!
Who doesnât go to college but still find this interesting đđ
Same, I graduated almost 3 years ago now, but still find all these college vlogs interesting. I have no idea why đ
Online college student here. Lol I work full time and my employer pays for it all. Whenever I'm on vacation I hang with my normal college friends and get the college experience.
"Once you get rid of that internal judgement, you'll be able to do so many things so much faster"
Yeah it's hard but I think it's necessary if you wanna go far. Congratulations on graduating btw!! Must be scary yet exciting going forward.
@@hafu Thank you!!
Thereâs a holy GOD in Heaven, Who created you and I for His glory, but our sins have separated us from Him. the wages of sin is DEATH, but the FREE Gift of GOD is eternal life in CHRIST the LORD. CHRIST died for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. repent, stop living in sin, and believe in the Gospel.
Iâm leaving for the military in a week. Iâm just watching this to see what Iâm missing out on. đ (edit: My ship date got moved to the 17th. Thank you very much for everyone who replied/ like the comment. )

I would really agree about the "Don't date, it's gonna distract you" mantra Asian parents have.
Maybe partially đ Did your parents say that to you too?
@@hafu yes HAHHAHAHAA
Aiyaaa I understand your struggles
Not only asian parents but African parents toođ€Ł
wait, so everybody here know the meaning of the hindi word 'mantra'
most asian people don't even speak hindi
Dude sleep is EXTREMELY important. I got little to no sleep way too often my first semester and that screwed me up so badly. I started showing physical signs of stress and obviously didnât perform as well as I couldâve in my classes smh BUT I learned and performed way better my second semester. Sleep truly is key
I just started college and I can feel some of the pressure to make friends, do well, date people, go to parties, etc. This video really helps and it's not the same advice that everyone gives
Education is a business so do business

Hafu Go whatâs up?
Smooooth
changes everything
Hi, Hafu came across ur video recently, really inspiring!!! Anw how do u stop hanging out with fake friends, without offending them?
@@okkiedokkie4909 just tell them your very busy whenever they call or forget their feelings and just STOP hanging around them so much. It all comes down to where do you want to be in four five years. Either still hanging around those bums and still no where near finishing your education or finishing your education in order to provide yourself with a stable life until you die while having little to no contact with those bums. Life sucks I know.
âAway from your parentsâ - my university is 10mins away from home

College tip #11: Form study groups, they help you and your friends internalize the material better
I usually prefer studying on my own in high school, than with other people. Does something change in college?

For drugs and alchohol, if it is your first time doing it, do it with a group of close friends because you dont know how you will behave. You are putting your life into their hands.
And remember, MODERATION!
Seriously, if it's your first time, don't jump off the deep end right away and just blaze up or get hammered. Baby steps.
Charles Brooks ok cool kid
Or just drink coconut juice
wouldn't say you're putting your life into their hands if you drink a few beers or smoke a joint but in excess sure lol

Wow Iâve watched so many of these college freshman advice videos and yours is actually SO UNIQUE! Iâve never hear of these tips before but theyâre actually all so useful. Thank you Hafu youâre the best â€ïž
Ashely Apples thank you! My tips are unique because I dig deep into my heart and soul to claw it out for you. It was actually quite an experience filming this video đ
sleep does have side effects and the most devastating side effect of all TIME
Grandpawns Here 8-10 hour onset of the drug
Sadly, most of my classes are moving to online textbooks that require an expensive access code for the whole website. The cost is non-negotiable and has a time limit. It sucks.
Same here. I hate it so much dude, such a scam. Colleges know that they're scamming us, and they know that we know. Legit any chance you find to get any books or material for free, do it. No lie
A paperback book with less width than the first Harry Potter book for a one semester entry level class cost $100.
Logically, I didn't pay and asked a classmate.
Got pictures of the whole book for 90% off.
Prith Choudhury if it is an online course that requires a key you could try look for a seller on eBay or google that sell keys
i knew someone that would buy loose-leaf textbooks, go to school printer that scans papers super fast, and they print out their own version for a lot less and return the loose-leaf version they bought and get a refund!
I use Libgen, Sci-hub and even The Pirate Bay haha...
This guy could sell me Milk if I was Lactose intolerant, without thinking twice
đđđđđđ ikr
"80% of health is good sleep good food and working out" welp, then i guess im only ever 20%-35% healthy depending on what im doing at work lol
Love how your advice is real and specific!
"we've gone to all the ivy leagues on the east coast" what's next, the ivies on the west coast?
Graduated in May but Iâm still watching. This is great advice for anyone starting school.
Yeah you can absolutely use book that is 1 or 2 editions off the required one and still be just fine. Also Thriftbooks, Chegg, Amazon, and Half Price Books all sell or rent used and new books for waaaaay cheaper than from the school. You can also turn around after the semester and sell those books back to them or others. Only buy from the school if it's a book the school produces like if a department made it or a particular professor.
I'm scared of going to college now
Same
I am a senior and still making mistakes that i know i shoundnt do. Anyway, Love your sense of humor. Fingers crossed for you
My main tipps for studying: time management, REAL couriosity and motivation- effort will come and follow- you will stick to your subject than, train your brain- memorize will become easy than, be active (sport) and watch your nutrition- healthy body is important, also working while studying is important- working world is totally different from school world. Follow your innervoice- it will lead you to your success
I'm staring university soon and this is exactly what I need!! Thank you for producing an actual video which is really informative.
âSkipping to many math classesâ Can relate I had a 25 minute walk to my math lecture on a Monday morning. I live in the UK so itâs almost guaranteed to be cold, rainy and foggy on Monday mornings so I decided skip that lecture for the full semester. Final mark for that module was 100% based on one exam at the end of the year scraped through it with 42%. Donât skip lectures
Your final grade was a 42?
Jesse Kulbe Yeah for first year, I do electronic engineering so I only had one maths module, second year grade was 55% once again skipped too many lectures, going into my third year in September hopefully I can get 60%+ and go straight into the masters course
@@justgame5508 I'm just amazed that a 42 is a passing grade. Here in the states it's always been a 70 or higher for me
Wait..what percentage is passing đ€
First time viewer :) You have an engaging way of explaining things and this vid is awesome!
Subscribed instantly, for your sense of humor! Keep up the great content man. I will be sure to follow your advice this fall semester. đđŒ
Thank you â€ïž good luck this semester Oscar!!
Iâm going into my sophomore year of college now and man I wish this video was out before my freshman year. I literally made half of these mistakes haha. Take his advice kids!
I watched this before first semester and now I'm watching this after first semester and wow was this the truth. I needed to take notes the first time I watched!
Honesty, I've made most of these mistakes and it sucked big time!
The video is really on point!
Congrats
hafu: do u wanna be 100 times smarter?
me: but 100 x 0 is still 0...
That's smart right there đđ
Everything you said was on point hah You give us some great content as usual. I can definitely relate. The transition from high school to college wasn't so smooth for me at first lol
haha thanks Jessy yeah man that transition is hard for everyone
That text book advice was the best! discovered that in second year, used books all the way
Thank you hafu, I'm happy I know this thing early now.
âI donât really try but I still get Asâ This makes me dumb
i am in for a rude awakening, I have easily spent majority of my classes comatose and got higher grades than others around me.
James Gatz me too Iâm in highschool and seem to learn everything pretty quick and I barely even try and am always finished with my work first get Aâs but I think that is going to change when ever I switch to Honors/AP courses
Blaze when you start doing AP classes, no way you can get natural Aâs without studying. I was used to honors classes and easily gotten all Aâs without studying so when I started APâs, these classes are so difficult. Started getting bad grades but I changed my habits.
Jennie Nguyen yeah thatâs what I meant that I am going to have to change by actually studying and focusing more hopefully I do well
Thank you so much Hafu! Great advice!
I see you're putting out consistent videos bro! Keep it up ;)
thank you so much for your videos, inspring me to actually be good at school and do well.
Best motivation right here. Never wait until the last minute, do what you gotta do!
Hey Hafu, great video as always. I so connect with you on that Asian parents dating thingy! Keep uploading cool videos!
Hahah yeah thatâs a common struggle between us
Whenâs the sophomore video coming out? This was super helpful, and Iâm going into my sophomore year of college, so Iâd like to see that soon!
Thank you bro đđŸđŻ keep going
Thanks for the wonderful đ đ advice đ
Sweet vid! You're inspiring me to develop a good lifestyle before college hits. è°ąè°ą!
Thatâs so great to hear! Youâre gonna be the most prepared person there
Bro, I'm about to start my last year of college and I have time for none of these. NONE. lol. But you're right about the sleep bit-- make sure to at least pull an all nighter every other day, not two days in a row.
Thank you for these tips!
Thanks broo I aprĂ©ciate youâre tips
Nothing is imposible in this world all is possible keep trying
Thatâs right

Well said bro!
I'm way past college, but seems useful for my students!
If I get 8 hours of sleep or less Iâm fine, if I get more than 8 or less than 1 hour I feel like what I imagine a hangover feels like

The 7 habits of highly effective people was a book given to me when I graduated high school. Are there any other books you would recommend reading (that one would actually take away some piece of information)?
Thank you for sharing, I like your vibe haha.
Omg those pieces of advice seem so useful! Thx bro, amazing job there!)))

Really regretted not exercising and its so frustrating looking at those hot bod, hopefully can still catch up before puberty ends zzzz btw love you so much hafu guo đđ
I told myself I'd actually use the wellness center. I still haven't gone because I don't know what I'm doing and don't want to make a fool of myself.
The simple solution would be to find a time where it's empty, but that's hard to come by...
I love hafu.thanks for everything you really are a great perso
Why donât you have more subs this was the best most real advice Iâve seen from anyone
You should do a video specifically about healthy eating, coz not a lot of ppl really explain it
I will in the future!
I donât know why I smile while watching your video , the story of u literally relate me hahahah . I laugh so hard in the entire video
Thank you Sir!â€
Thank you for uploading this video!!!
Watching this at 1am and I feel guilty with that sleep tip-
âSo what if I told you there was a smart drug that if you take it youâll be 100x smarter and 100x more productive?â
My brain: adderall?
P.s donât do drugs itâs not worth it
Clickbait
No itâs the squip
its actually so worth it! do drugs kids!
Danny Aghayani sadly in a lot of cases it is at first, and afterwards you feel like youâre unequipped to deal with problems without it.
What about weed
Useful tips indeed. Loved it.
