As a third year student I got to do most of these and the coolest thing about studying abroad is that it forces you to follow this list😊 so go out there (after the pandemic) and give it a go 😊
this is my second time watching one of your videos but I already love all your tips! they aren’t generic and they make me feel inspired for college. i’m an incoming freshman this fall and i’m super excited
If you are going to study abroad in 2021- here are my tips for 1st year students ruclips.net/video/SkhV04FKov8/видео.html! Best of luck!
I'm only 15 and I'm hyped for college!!!💪🔥💯 I just started watching you and I love your videos keep up the awesome work!!!
I love this video a lot! I am a college freshman now and watching this video of yours made me learn some valuable lessons that make me want to do it right away, like be friend with my professor or go study abroad. Again, wonderful video! Keep up the good work!
Your content makes me motivated and encouraged me to does certain goal everyday. Thanks! 💚
DUUUUUUUDE! YOUR VIDEOS HAVE IMPACT! Keep inspiring and giving us tips 😊. Very informative. Alot of your videos are very helpful. You're so lively and your cute jokes spark joy. PLEASE MAKE MORE COLLEGE PREPARATION VIDEOS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS 😄
Just wanna say thank you soo much for clearing the mist which had blurred my vision about collages. Can't wait for more amazing contents from you.
Your content is amazing.....but I'm surprised.... because there are only 61 k subs
RUclips algorithm is just a hater
It's 63.5k now :)
72.5k now :)
78k now
5,380k now
Actually, in junior college, the lectures aren't useful. So, exam questions come from "assigned" reading. At a university, reading often isn't "assigned." Exam questions usually come from a study guide or handouts.
Thank you so much for inspiring me, Hafu... you're like the koko I've never had
OMG. THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWERS. LITERALLY THE ONLY VIDEO ON THIS TOPIC THAT I DIDN’T SKIP A SECOND
Im starting actual college this fall (ive been dual enrolled for 2 years and I’ll get my associates this summer, im 18 *cough cough* not to brag😂), and your videos are really helpful and entertaining! Thanks man!
Damn frfr. Watching you is hella relaxing. Real inspiring.💆🏿♂️
Nice tips😂👀 I’m actually enjoying your videos. It’s nice to know any tips for college
thankk you sooo much, life changing advice
I just found the best and supportive youtuber ever. I feel so relieved.
well said on the last part!
Thank you for all the useful information
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks hafu ❤️
You’re welcome 😊
Solid insight as usual 😃 I recently connected with the conducting professor I hope to study under and he offered to watch a video of me conducting to give me feedback, so I sent him the William Tell Overture flute choir video! Even though I’m definitely older than you and am transitioning careers rather than starting one (or starting college), these insights are just universally good things to keep in mind!
Wow that's so cool to hear! That video went kinda viral eh
@@hafu Oh yeah that definitely went viral haha the combined efforts of 85 flutists being shared by those same 85 flutists! I think it shows that musical leadership and direction really IS my calling in life. I've only met like 4 of the participants in real life before (they're friends from high school and college), so it's pretty amazing to see how people can get together for music like that!
🙏🏽love your content man.
“Make friends in the first week” ...but what if its virtual 🥺👉👈
How was your first year
Yh how your first year?
I recently found out about your channel and I just wanted to say thank you for making all of these videos and also that speech at the end of this video was amazing😁👍
Welcome aboard dreamer!
It's Sather Gate!! Woo. Thanks for your videos!
Hafu: Don't read!
Random person from Hafu's school: oh well, if Hafu said it
same random person: *fails every class*
Hafu: haha! I got better grades than you
Comeon I said don't read all your textbooks. But read more books!
@@hafu sure bro, sure bro😂
I love all of your content video Hafu 😍
Thank you so much!!
Skip optional reading is good to skip unless the professor takes questions from the optional reading
I just found your channel, but i love it already!
I'm so glad!
Hi! I have watched your videos from the very beginning of the channel. Really appreciate your content. Keep going huh
Awesome! Have you improved your life since you started watching?
U 're perfect. Thank uuuuuu🌹
Thank you thank you!
This guy gotta get to 100k, he deserves it
I aint even in college...but when i watched ur vids im not even afraid anymore Hahaha im actually now excited😊😂😎
haha that's so awesome to hear! what are you excited to do?
This video is represented most of students who r desperate to aim high gpa. But from this video I would say that's the true story hahahahaha, I even failed in one subject. Your channel has been inspiring me for some aspects. Thank you bro, keep going up.
Omg your content is amazing and you are hilarious, I enjoy watching your videos even if am in high school, love your work keep going like that 😆❤️
What grade are you in?
Hafu Go I am in 10th grade and I want to study physics in a uni
LOVE YOUR HAIR
I really want to apply your video to my college experience since I'm going to college as a freshman this coming school year, but I have a really hard time seeing how having things such as a social life and making friends as well as passing college is even possible.
Before you read below, please understand that I'm a first-generation college student, so I have no family to ask what college is like and maybe I'm just being super negative idk
I tried taking college classes in high school last year, and they were a very steep curve in difficulty. I never really learned how to study since I got almost perfect grades in high school anyways and 90% of my senior year was spent working and studying, I even had to drop out of the Yearbook club so I could study more. I didn't really have resources at my school to get help, so it was me and Google alone trying to comprehend the work that I was given, and I barely passed that year. Honestly, I was expecting my entire college experience to be me struggling in my math class and staying up until 2 AM studying, so I really don't know how I'm going to do anything else in college.
Yo my guy you got a glow up in the last year!!
Btw, know what yore extremely inspirational.
What are you inspired to do today?
damn bro.. it is a cool video i am just exited to go to my college..but in september..
Yo do a college outfit vid. Love the stuff dude!
Thanks man!
3:39 " I got you man" 💜
this channel is gonna blow up
I'll be a first year engineering student. How would I have time for friends 🤔
Also that number 10 tip was deep. I will definitely not forget that tip
just like your haircut lul, want to have the same one) btw like your videos gj) I want to do the same format so long time but don't know how to start. I tried but I just can't anyway gj man :)
I really enjoyed your emotional drama🤠🤠
Thanks for your tips!!!!!
You bet! Put them to good use ;)
I study applied maths in my high school. Is it possible that I can study core maths in my college? Since I haven't taken science!
I am back
Loved the idea for this vid
Much love god bless
Gotta go, time to destroy the like button
You always know what to do ;)
I can't wait to go!
I can relate with the "don't read" tip HAHAHAHA because I did not really bother opening any of the pdfs that were sent to us and I still passed the semester.
Hey great video, whered u get that shirt tho? I've been looking for something like it
love your contents .✌😍
Thank you so much 😀
I'm honoured to be your friend. One love!
I have a question for you, Hafu. I am planning on going my first year to a cap program, which is pretty much going to a school that's in the same system as the other schools, but you only go one year to transfer the next year to the school that you want to go ( if you get the required GPA). Now, my question is, will I be able to make friends in college if I transfer to a different school in my sophomore year? Will I have challenges, because everyone is already in their own group. I had had this struggle before in high school, where I moved a lot as a kid and never made any friends. I still, to this day, do not have any friends. Cheers
Video: online for 1 Minute
Me: Great Video
I mean WTF
That’s a true subscriber
bro loved your contents
Thank you bro
I hope my crippling social anxiety clears up in the time I hopefully make it to college
Gonna start a new semester in china this yeaar. And suddenly your video appeared ! Glad i found this before entering a new environment 😭 this might save my lonely introverted self . 😂 i hope i could make your tips happen . ....
You are so funny 🤣 I just subscribed.
Welcome to the Gogang!
@@hafu thanks! Can't wait to watch more of your videos.
Not sure how I feel about the prospect of making new friends just for the sake of it then ‘ghosting’ them when you have determined that you have other stronger friendships or if you realise that you don’t gel as much.
If you have a brief chat to someone and then realise that you don’t have much in common or your personalities do not mesh then I leave it be (leaving them alone) and don’t waste their time only to dump them later on.
My guy just summarized the book" How to win at college" by cal Newport. Love vids tho.
Hafu do something on IITs
Another important thing I'd like to add about grades, as someone who's done AP, DE, etc.
-If you know what core classes your college/university requires of you, take classes that are the prefaces (prerequisites?? XD) of them. Like Calculus, high school has pre-cal. Take it. It's going to be harder, but you get a foundation for a course you're going to take later. I asked my Adv Algebra teacher, "what class would be better to take? College Algebra, or Pre-Cal?" And of course, he said Pre-Cal would be better, because Calculus is a class you're going to take.
-(This is more a personal opinion) Between AP and DE (Dual Enrollment), I find DE is harder, but more rewarding than AP. Bc DE is literally a college class. So you get to dip your toes and feel how college is kinda like, in terms of work. It is harder, but you get college credit, and if you go to a college that accepts them, you will not have to take it (saves money too).
I have that same painting in the back
This dude is great
Really good content 👍
Glad you think so!
0:26 Why haven't you got a girl till now?
that was damn🔥
hahaha
Can you give us a hair styling tutorial tho
I was going to try my junior year to make an effort, but COVID really put a wrench in that🙃I don’t want to leave without having done steps 1 and 2. My time might’ve passed, but I’m anything but stubborn
I had been seeing this video for 10 minutes yesterday
Just wondering what product do you use for your hair?
Online now, i dont even know my classmate faces, thanks david19
You are so cool bro.😁😂👏
"Ain't no cutie gonna notice you when you dressed like a potato"
I can do all those except making friends and have fun 😂
Hello Hafu, how do I get to join the community you speak about?
Awesome intro " my name is hafu and I didn't have a haircut" 😂😂
can u do a video more on study abroad please?
I was wishing to have a University life when I was in high school cuz more flexible than high school but a pandemic happened and a lot of things got limited such as having new friends in physical way, hangout with new friends, club activities and so on. Very disappointed due to the limitations. I hope pandemic disappear ASAP cuz I'm already in Semester 3 of 5 semester of pre-uni study. Study at home is boring.
WOW! You look handsome "bro"👌👌😂😂
I’m transferring so I guess I’ll be friendless👉👈 also pro tip: go to community college if you want a 4.0 gpa through your sophmore year without putting in much effort;)
This was very helpful and you're super adorable 😳 😊
Great video
Hi
Thanks mark! Are you heading to college soon?
Hafu Go
Yessir
I am from Germany 🇩🇪 and look forward to study in the US
Plz make ‘A Day In My Life’ video plz!!..
I have so many! Check my channel
Hey could you tour your college? If you already did can you give the the link?
Hafy I have a question. Can you make a video about foreign students and if it’s important to speak english or not. I’ m a Belgian student a speak french dutch and arabic and now I’ m learning english because I really want to go to a good college in the USA or the UK. You really helps me to improve my english and you give me hope that one day I can go to one of my dream university’s THANK YOUU SO MUCH❤️❤️
And sorry if I make mistakes ☝🏼 my english is not perfect 🙏🏽😊
Books are a plug hey... I'm also an engineering student so we dont really get the best assigned readings but I always make a plan.
Have you read any from Malcolm Gladwell???
Yeah man I've read Outliers
@@hafu nooo wayyyy Hafu, that's the exact one I was talking about🔥🔥🙌🙌 it just so insightful don't you think🔥 and it can change your whole notion of success in less than a week 😂🤣 I couldn't stop till I was done.
I just got blink, do you have any reading suggestions, I mean we are stuck at home so I might as well😅🤷♂️
Bro where did you get that blue shirt from?
"...probably you're smart or so you think."
Ur so real about this 😂
I see you around campus but I'm afraid to say HI lol
Hafu's hair looks better like this imo
It'll really work out for u if do like daily show or late night show or sth. 😂😂after college
hahaha that would be the dream
How do you just drop friends once they are your friends they are like forever. In high school I had a kind of fake friend but you just feel bad dropping them if you are good at heart(no offense, hope it's none taken). Some people just ignore these friends which you should not do just tell them the truth that it might hurt but time....time heals everything. Good luck everyone!!!
