    Annie, I remember the first time I found your channel. I was like “She’s a freshman too omg!”. These last 4 years have been a lot especially coming out of lockdown. Now we’re both seniors and I can totally relate to how you feel. I also have a lot of “what ifs” on my mind. College will be a chance to make new memories and experience new things. I wish you all the luck with your college decisions🩷.

    I felt the same in highschool! I didn't feel academically motivated because the topics I was learning wasn't too interesting for me. Now that I'm almost done my first year of university (what you guys call college), I felt sooo much more motivated to study, go to class, and be studious lol. Getting to choose your courses to tailor into what you're interested in is soo amazing genuinely so grateful. You're also in a major that YOU chose and YOU want to do!

    annie don't be discoureaged, you're one of the hardest workig people on this app and i was actually shocked to hear about these rejections.
    i went through a similar but different experience. i worked so hard to get good grades and go to a great university. unfortunately, when the time came for me to apply, my family was no longer in a position to help me finance my studies (scholarships aren't really academic or merit based in europe) so i ended up having to throw all my dreams away because i couldn't afford it. i believe that we're both where we need to be though, god has a plan for all of us xx

    Annie can you make a video reflecting more on your middle/high school days? You didn’t have a very “normal” school life. Looking back you were extremely busy and at a constant state of “productivity” do you think that has affected you? I’m so happy for you. I’m a 16YR old who started watching you back in 2019 during that dote situation. Seeing you grow & also change has been so inspiring to me. I’m also kind of in that similar state of “constant productivity” to go to a top/good college/

    Annie, as a senior applying to similar schools as you, every observation in this video hit so close to home. Especially as a Christian I've been grappling with whether this is His will or due to my lack of work. Thank you for being so vulnerable, because you voiced thoughts I had not been able to put to words and this was very relatable. I know USC has so much more in store for you than you can even imagine. Congrats!

    hey Annie, as a high school senior who just went through this process probably in the same time period as you did, I remember feeling extremely dejected and self conscious, I felt as though I could have done more or better to be good enough for these colleges. As these thoughts were running through my mind, I realized that I would not trade my high school experience for this, I had so much fun, learnt so many things inside and outside class and made the closest friends of my life. I found that trusting the universes plan and not engaging in counterfactual speculation is extremely important. At the end of the day you end up in the right place and what you do is more important than where you go

    Thank you for sharing your journey while navigating this new chapter. I am in the same shoes as you as a senior in high school and got rejected from every other school other than my first choice. It’s certainly conflicting whether you were meant to go to this school, but I think the situation is definitely what you make of it. My journey feels less lonely and you help me to find the light in my situation. Congrats on USC Annie!

    I thought I was the only one with thoughts like " What if it wasn't God and I just didn't get that opportunity because I didn't work hard enough?" I've found I feel that way because I don't trust myself and that I look for a way to blame myself when I don't get the opportunity to cope with why I didn't get it because in my mind I'm like: it's what I wanted, why didn't I get it? ect...Then I find out a couple weeks or so after that I was, in fact, NOT suppose to get that opportunity- My best Advice to you is to trust yourself more, trust the work you do more ( If you are a work acholic or recovering from being one, this is going to hurt and take some time, TRUST ME...) and trust that God isn't going to allow you to miss something great or something that will change your life for the better! Stay safe and stay gorgeous babes! 🎀And I say babes because this is for EVERYONE reading this, not just Annie LOL- Byeeee 💋💝

    As an international high school senior who has just finished a very stressful college app szn, this video is so relatable. I feel so grateful and lucky to be admitted by a reach t10 uni right before the end of all my decisions. Feeling anxious about moving to the US, but I believe that everything will work out at the end. Wishing us all the best and sending love. 加油!

    WOOOOO! ANNIE CONGRATS ON USC! YOU'LL BE WITH MY TWINK BESTIE! Got rejected from my dream school since I was 7 years old. But got a full ride to a similar but less selective school in my area that was honestly a better fit. Everything God/the universe put in my path led me to DePaul and not Northwestern, and to really make me go tuition was covered, the only worry I had. I believe in you! You are strong, keep going.

    Hello! I feel the discouragement when it comes to college rejections. I only applied to a couple reaches and got rejected from USC and UC Berkeley. It was tough being told no and it felt even worse having been told so after being told yes from... well, another school... I was about ready to confront every USC fan that made fun of or disrespected UCLA. But I know how disrespectful that is on my part, especially as someone who really cares for just about everyone. But I never thought a rejection would really bring out those feelings. My grudges against USC are still there and probably will be for a long time, but I wasn't really looking to go there anyway and I was in high spirits about my options throughout. I'm now in my third quarter of college and... it HAS been tough, but I'm trying my best to get through it! At the end of the day, it's not the school that rejects you, it's the school that you were accepted to and chose to go to that is most important, and also the education you receive. I wish you the best and despite our rivalry, I hope you have a great time there! I know some BRILLIANT USC alumni so I'm sure you'll make some amazing friends there.

    Annie i just wanna say that it's okay you got rejected from these schools because maybe USC is where you're meant to be. I too am struggling with my mental health like you which has destroyed my studious side but let's not discourage ourselves maybe we needed this so that we can realize some important things in life. You're such an inspiration to students like me you show us that one day your hard work will pay off even if it's not in the way we hoped for. Hope to see new content from you. ❤ Hope you'll have a blast at USC

    As someone who spends a lot of time alone (and loves nothing more than being alone), if your parents will let you, and you have the money/transport, take a solo trip somewhere with a loose goal in mind. You go learn to navigate somewhere new for a period of time, you learn a lot about yourself, and you make ALL the decisions (one of my favorite parts of being alone). If you don't have a goal in mind with the trip, you might have the urge to stay inside and not go anywhere everyday, which is why I would set a goal for yourself on the trip. If you have that time alone, you can find what you really enjoy, instead of just doing the work that school was handing you every week. Just sharing what has worked for me. Everyone is different, which is why I live by one piece of advice "all advice is nonsense, and the only way to know if something works is to go try it for yourself".
    Have a good summer :)
