As a junior in college, I can confirm all these tips are essential. Unfortunately with my luck, I got severely sick throughout my first semester and people formed friendships and groups without me as I was stuck in my dorm and hospital. I’ve been an introvert wannabe extrovert so being lonely isn’t new, but it feels so inhumane at college. Please be outgoing your first year, I promise you have the time if you put in the effort to. Personally, because my luck always gets me alone I decided to go crazy with classes so I can graduate a year early and study for my MCAT
So sorry to hear about your experience :( but honestly, many people find their closest friends after college. Also, seems like you're CRUSHING it academically. Best of luck with the MCAT!!

My college started in late July this year and I got sick after 2 days of going to college. I'm a little introverted with wanting to be extroverted. Luckily I met some people and kinda became friends with them, I'm grateful that I didn't just lock myself in my room. I'm currently sick now with 2 days of not going to college. Wish me luck with a speedy recovery. Also the advice given in the video is the same as my older sister gave me. Glad I listened to her and went out and found some friends. I also want to give one more piece of advice 'don't get sick in the first week of college'
I'm going to college in August and this was very helpful. Confirmed a lot of my suspicions lol. Also your editor is insane😂. The TV scene was something else.
I'm going into my senior year and I want to make a quick note on the friendship one. In the video, he says that the friends past month 2-3 are going to be your friends for the rest of college. I just want to add that that doesn't have to be true. The main group of friends I hung out with freshman year were not the kind of people I wanted to be around and I found it draining to hang out with them sometimes. Due to this, sophomore year I slowly phased myself out of the group and made new friends. I still talk to a few people from that original group and I have some fond memories with them, but overall I am so much happier with my new group of friends. All this is to say, don't be afraid to leave your first friend group. Don't force yourself to stick with an old group just because you happened to have one thing in common. There are plenty of opportunities in college to start anew or try something different.
@@OhmShankar-xu2kw I feel like the advice I give is kinda basic, but focus on a few extracurriculars so that you seem passionate. There are lots of people that try to do everything which can look unfocused I think.
I'm finally entering my senior year of college in about six weeks. It's already taken me five years for my computer engineering undergrad and I have one year left. This video has some very nice reminders 😅. Thanks Gohar!
Thanks Gohar! This September I’m going to be in my senior year in high school and I was very nervous about how I’m going to survive college after graduation. This really provided great tips for me! 😊
as a new student in my university, I can tell that all these tips helps me a lot. Once you unpack and go to dorm then your family says goodbye and all taht stuff, truly makes you feel alone. by watching this video trully lift up my spirit and try to overcome those challenges.
He's one of those rare youtubers who give actual valuable information without selling any course or whatever, meaning that he really respects his viewers and the process
I miss college. Can't afford to go back unfortunately, going into the USAF. Good video though. Definitely form relationships, get to know professors, and join clubs.
Great video, as a sophomore in college now, I can confirm that going to college allows me to connect with more people and even meeting those who are not from my hometown so that was pretty nice!
glad i found this video i just arrived at my dorm and have 2 days before college starts.. and and i agree there is noone to wake you up, cook for you and noone to tell you what to do then when i finally got to my room it hits me hard...saying goodbye to my parents and i silently cried in my room.. i just hope i meet people i can trust when my first day finally starts
High school drop out going to college at 24. I can’t decide if me going a little later in life is a good or bad thing. I have a lot more life experience and feel like I will really make the most out of my education and experiences but on the other hand I feel really behind. I guess I can never really know 100% what I should have done but I am excited to get started, late is better than never.
hey bro no worries 21 myself and just started i’ve got moms and dads in there 30s in some of my lectures haha no one will judge there all just there to better themselves🙏 so still reach out make friends and do your thing you can have that cool uncle status to a lot of the younger ones🤷♂️ bless up bro
This sounds really useful for people going to college. I think I'll have to save this video for the next few years until that's my time so I won't make those mistakes
Biggest mistake I made was jumping into a full course load, I’d suggest one or two classes to start with so you can get acclimated.

Nope, went to law school and graduate school all while still living at home with my parents. Only drastic changes for me were taking the bus there and back and buying supplies, including books, completely on my own. Oh and of course interning at law firms and taking all sorts of public transportations to several different places. But already in Middle school I had to wake up alone with the alarm clock or else I'd get punished, same goes for knowing when to study and when to sleep.
Nice video as always Gohar!!! Keep them coming! A lot of my friends in junior year need this soon LOL! Furthermore, my goal is to attend Harvard soon LOL.
Could please make a video on how you got into MIT? What you focused on in terms of skills and academics, and also any other things that helped you. Anything you recommend others do to also reach a college like MIT. It would be really helpful. Great video though!
With the first point: I’m what most people see as an introvert, and I haven’t made any friends in the 6 weeks I’ve been in class. Everyone came to my school with their friend groups from high school… except me. I just can’t walk up to someone and be like, “hey, what’s your name, where are you from, etc.” because it’s just not how I am. Every level of school has been harder and harder for me to make friends and this time, no one’s even trying to make friends since they already have theirs.
i'd argue that skipping classes really depends on the professor, because i just started with my physics degree, and i have a professor that can't explain the subject he teaches for the life of him. so to me it's a negative return on my time, because i learn barely anything whilst putting in 4 hours every week. i've found a online professor that explains it far better then my own prof ever could, so i skip his lectures to watch the online prof. But I have definitly noticed your point that if you dont go to the lectures it's very easy to fall behind, but discpline is something i have to work on anyway, so it's also a good way to train discipline
Because at high school, people just go to a lot of different colleges and careers, but kn college, you'll mostly be with people that will have the same jobs as you, and that the people you mostly want to be good
Summary: Moving into college can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. Avoid these mistakes: not socializing, neglecting health, moving in alone, skipping classes, overspending, and forgetting to stay connected with family. - Building a strong social network in college is essential for personal and professional growth. Engage with diverse groups to broaden your perspectives and opportunities. - Prioritizing health in college, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, sets the foundation for a successful academic and social experience. - Utilizing convenient moving services like Storage Scholars can alleviate the stress of transitioning into and out of college dorm life. - Regular class attendance is crucial for academic success and maintaining a strong rapport with professors, which can be beneficial for future endeavors. - Developing financial literacy early on in college can lead to smart budgeting, investments, and long-term financial security.
I am kind of a nihility guy, like anything unnecessary is not important to me. That said, according to this video, I can do many things that can improve myself But man, all this time I am sticking to myself. Third-year at University and still no relationship outside of family & relatives. Beside, I don't go out for leisure activity like ever and I find it hard to strike up a conversation because I have no idea about the topic they like: gaming, football, etc. I mean, they are not my thing; not that passionate, anyway. I do aware that being lonely like this could be a hinderance to my progress in my job afterward, but I'm not so sure about how to handle this problem...
Gohar Khan, You are an amazing youtuber and you are also very brief with your advice. I am currently a Freshman in high school and I am interested in developing leadership skills. I am part of a cross country team and I want to learn how to develop into a leader and encourage people. You should make more videos about how to be a supportive leader.
4:47 I’m in middle school right now, but I’m required to play 3 sports, and I’m also required to spend an hour a week working out, on top of 4+ hours of weekly practice. I have full 8 hours of classes. You do have time to do stuff in high school/middle school. You just have to plan it right.
it's funny that i've already made every single mistake in this list and now i'm suffering the consequences ☠ All I need is a video how to fix myself at this point
I was lucky enough to get a friend even before i enrolled into college.. she was a sweetie and i helped her with her requirements. I forgot to get her number or socials but we're in the same major so I hope to see her again
im not in college but going into junior year. Im moving into a city with no close family/friends i know to study. kind of terrifying im not gonna lie, but i believe i can do this. your video helped me too thanks!!
i already missed way too many lectures in the first month, now i have tests and have to do multiple chapters from scratch please learn from my mistakes and GO TO CLASSES
One mistake is people not being bold on making mistakes during lectures when teachers ask a question. My teacher taught me to answer with anything so I can have a five minute one on one basically.
IMO, in young years should be a little bit more aggressive. Not just funds but in things a little bit riskier. Students are usually on top of trends, also potential looses could be recouped later.
in my sophomore year of HS, i skipped all the time. and it sucked fixing that. It sucked so bad thatin my junior year i knew to skip less and was actively against skipping in my senior year and ended up having infinitely better grades for it
My biggest mistake was taking myself too seriously. Don’t forget to take the time to enjoy, college is short.
Fr
good its short, that shit is fucking torture

Why is the freshman year of college better than the freshman year of high school for changing yourself
Because you got far more freedom and time
Because at high school, people just go to a lot of different colleges and careers, but kn college, you'll mostly be with people that will have the same jobs as you, and that the people you mostly want to be good
Because unless you moved people in high school know you and you have less freedom
This would've been nice advice, unfortunately I started college in the pandemic 😭
Thanks for the tips
Thanks!
I’ve literally made all these mistakes 😭 worst one is sticking to yourself cause now I’m going into 2nd year with no friends
Why does this make me excited for college?? 😆
this is actually... kinda helpful
