hey guys! i know this video is quite long, so i added timestamps for specific topics i talk about in this video in the description! :)
Chris Henrie thanks !!!
The title made my day tbh. Also this is such a calming video, makes me feel better about my future and going to university. Hope you have a great day!.
Kornel Leśniak ahaha thank you! i thought the title was funny idk why 😂 i hope you have a great day tooooo!
I may have giggled at the title a bit when I first saw it 😂 I start (community) college next Tuesday and it's a bit odd of an idea in my head still. Honestly, I originally didn't apply to any colleges because in my head I convinced myself that college was for people who had already decided their majors. I kinda felt looked down upon in junior/senior year because answering the question of what I wanted to major in and where I wanted to go usually turned up blank. I pushed myself to apply for a community college late senior year. Eventually, I found something I wanted to pursue, but it was such an obscure thing I didn't even realize it was a major up until just about last month. Here I am now, about to go into community college, saving myself tons of money and pursuing my major with an idea of a university to transfer to in my mind. I think junior and senior year of high school stressed me out with all of the college talk and trying to figure out how things were gonna work out, which almost made me avoid college altogether. I wish this video would have come a year sooner, but I really do appreciate little reminders such as remembering to breathe and that the world isn't gonna end because things didn't go according to plan 😂 This video was very realistic and it's a bit refreshing to hear all of this stuff, so thank you (:
awww sami! thank you so much for watching and for sharing your story. i am so happy that you found something you like and a major to go along with it. it is such a relief when something finally clicks and i know that you will succeed with whatever you choose to do. and yes, it saves so much money!! i filmed a video today about the pros and cons of a CC and the money aspect is so huge.
Dude I agree it is okay to get rejected from college. I have a 4.3 GPA and a 1440 SAT, 30 ACT and I have been rejected officially by four and am expecting two more in a couple days. It’s better to celebrate the victories dude.
Update I have been accepted to UC Davis and UC Santa Cruz, waitlisted at Emory, Washington and Lee, Hamilton, Colorado College, Colby College, and rejected by Macalister College, Grinnell College, Cal Poly SLO, and UCLA (waitlisted but I rejected their offer).
This video title is my mood
hahah i actually laughed at "don't regret it, just accept me". anyway, you never know where you'll end up, looking at my future and who even knows, we'll see.
You are such a precious person, I really do love your videos. Bit of shame that I did not know about your channel while recovering, because you give here some very wise advice. Anyway this university thing is so stressful - I'm just before applying and already dying;) Wish you all the best!
Some colleges are better than others. Perhaps they may not be significantly different in the actual quality of education, but in terms of public and employer perception it plays a major role. Names do matter, and employers know top schools from mediocre ones. It is especially important if you want to go into certain professions like finance and consulting. With that said, don't go to a prestigious and expensive school if your "passion" doesn't coincide with a well-paying job after graduation. Loans are only worth it when your chosen profession has reasonably good prospects of making you good money later on in life. It's an investment in your future, but you have to make sure you're making the right investment. Good luck guys!
Idk why, but whatever the subject of your videos, I really appreciate your personality, your accuracy, your calm, your kindness & somewhat the fact that you seem to have a beautiful soul. Keep on going ! A subscriber from France 🇫🇷😘 (sry for my English)
I went through a similar college disillusionment process, unfortunately a little too late for me to undo the stress I'd put myself through in high school. Thanks for this video - it's a relief to hear someone talk about college from a practical perspective.
thanks so much for watching! i was actually inspired to film this video after watching a few of your college related videos haha. i am just so glad the whole application process is done!
Ahhh me too. College admissions is so much nicer from the other side.
this is my worst fear
SO happy this was in my recommended vids :)
Thank you for this video! It made me calm down! I was freaking out! Next week my results will come and I can't even breath.
oooo how exciting!!! best of luck to you!
Chris Henrie Thank you so much! 💙 For me, an international student, the process was so overwhelming and expensive. I will be devastated if I don't get accepted anywhere. 😭😭
The truth is you don’t have to go to college or continue your education if you don’t what to. Nothing wrong with college but being financially responsible is the most important thing 🙂👍🏻
you look like Even from the show Skam
I thought that to!
This is such a fantastic video. Love from a fellow NJ community college grad. This video had to be made!!! Congratulations on your wisdom, growth and success!
Why did you even apply to the far distance schools when you knew you wouldn't go there because of the distance?
i clicked on this video bc the tittle is so funny lol. its so weird (not in a bad way) to see that you did not go into any schools that accepted you because it was too far away, even though it is still in the same country. i will be attending college this year and i am from hong kong, but i applied to ucas aka schools in the uk. somehow it never occurred to me that it will be too far away from home and the only problem i am worrying about is the money part hahaa. i am not judging you in any way and i am glad that everything worked out for you, i just guess it's a culture thing because attending schools outside of hong kong is very common here and many students study abroad. anyways thanks for showing me that even though life don't always go according to plans, it will still work itself out in the end. i am still unsure about which college i'll be attending and till then i just need to convince myself to not be stressed about it.
I live near Villanova. My biggest mistake was listening to everyone else but myself when I was applying for schools. I’m now stuck at a school I hate and I regret it so much. I wish I could go back and apply to my dream schools
hello, if you don’t mind me asking what was your gpa and SAT score? just interested because i’m interested in some of the schools you applied to:). thanks!
Aahhh school has already started for me and AP classes are gross. I have to start sending out college applications in a couple of months so I'm uber nervous. Thanks for this video
SoftlySpace you can do it!!! once you organize yourself and everything you have to do, it can actually be fun! thank you so much for watching!

Ooooooh the ACT...when I went to college (07-11), Kentucky (where I am) was of the few states who required an ACT score for in-state college admission. If you were from another state and wanted to come to Kentucky, they could take your comparable SAT score, but at the time I was in high school, here in Kentucky, we had to take the ACT no matter what, if we wanted to apply. Thankfully I enjoyed the ACT and I ended up wanting to go in state, so I took it 4 times over the course of 2 years, #nerd. But anyway, that was a major aside. Thanks for this video, I'm sure you're helping many realize the rejection letters are in fact a reality, but that doesn't mean it's the end of the world, because eventually, even if you have to transfer at any point, you will end up at the right school/place at the time you're supposed to be there. Good luck to everyone starting the school year!
yes, you are so right! thank you so much for watching & sharing your experience! i only took the ACT once, i couldn't stand the thought of taking it again hahah! i love hearing about other peoples' college stories and it is so interesting to hear where people end up. so nice to hear from you!
Thanx for the advise chris! Very helpful!
Demi 2016 yay!! thanks so much for watching!
This is an awesome video topic! Super helpful 💕
yay! i'm so glad. thank you for watching!!!
Did you take honors and ap classes in highschool?
I need to do this but with job application emails lmao
palemaid omg me too hahah
Both my parents went to mcgill and my grandfather was a professor there! But now we live in the states so if i went the price would be out of the roof😂
Ashley Dani ??? Canadian schools are still way cheaper than American lol
My school starts in early August but I'm a freshman in high school and they have to prepare us for our jobs (it's a long story but every one and their care takers agreed to work under age)
What was your GPA & ACT/SAT Scores? If you don’t mind. + I love this video thanks sooo much for this advice!:))
Sometimes I don’t realize how lucky I am to live in California. God bless
True bro. NY isn't that awsome y'know. I would love to come in Califonia
I stayed at Champlain College for a summer camp for film (SOCAPA), and i have to agree the campus is gorgeous.
19 is pretty low for ACT...
Katie Perrigo Thanks for your assessment, Katie!
Chris Henrie definitely not trying to be harsh but I got a 27 and a lot of my guidance counselors told me it wasn’t the best it could have been, and the national average is a 21. On a positive note; I am very happy that you are doing what you want to do! As a person who also struggles with anxiety and comes from a low income family, you can make it work! As long as you’re comfortable and happy with your choices, that’s all that matters. Plus, a college education is incredibly valuable.
Jisue Kim i’m sure you would’ve gotten in with a 34, that’s really high!
Of course it matters were you go to school. If you were looking at people to hire would you choose a guy from some unknown community college or someone from a well known university?
Lily Mendoza *where
Don't know who's going to hire you
My husband is a graduate from a top twenty school and works alongside UC and CSU graduates. Starting at a CC is a great way to start out as it's cheap and you get your diploma from wherever you graduate from. Additionally, CA CC students get priority when transferring and automatic admission to seven UC campuses (TAG program).
Did you apply for scholarships?? You keep talking about the financial aspect so im just wondering
You should’ve applied to highest acceptance rate schools in California
The title made me cackle
Thank you for this video! May I ask where you live? I am only wondering because I'm in NJ. You don't have to answer though :)
The_Vegan_ Sweet_Potato omg really?! i live up north, just a bit away from nyc!
I live about a half hour outside new york, so we must be close! That's awesome. I'm near the meadowlands :)
I only applied to one (1) school lol.. (got in btw)
Hailey0D Where did you apply?
I don't want to go to college. I prefer to stay at home and sleep all day 😂
ahaha honestly same. just do whatever you feel is right and everything will click into place!
💜💜💜
