As a college freshman, you're going to be naïve 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 don’t 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.
@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! :)

As a person who is going into their 3rd year of college
1. I feel that so hard! Please learn how to study
2. Been there, dont worry about dating
3. Im fine with early classes, but do not do early classes if you are not a morning person
4. I agree 1000%, fake friends are stupid
5. Yes! Please sleep!
6. Never buy books from the book store unless you cant find them elsewhere
7. Screw other people! Be yourself boo
8. Apply for scholarships! You may get something

Wait u could choose what time to go to classes?
@@Treyy101 Yeah lol
what’s your advice on finding a group of friends right away? i’m moving in 2 days lol
Number 11 for me is a lie
@@cadenbriner8183by any chance you found a way to make a group of friends?
"I got 53%, I've never gotten a mark that low in my life"
Me after writing my first Linear Algebra midterms:
"I got 48%, I am a genius"
Facts....
I got a freaking 13%
@@AnonymousNP okay that's to low
@@blueberrykiss4130 I know ...🤪 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 🤣 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!
"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!!
There’s 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.
Who doesn’t go to college but still find this interesting 😂👍
Same, I graduated almost 3 years ago now, but still find all these college vlogs interesting. I have no idea why 😂
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.
I’m leaving for the military in a week. I’m just watching this to see what I’m missing out on. 😂 (edit: My ship date got moved to the 17th. Thank you very much for everyone who replied/ like the comment. )
Why are you lying
@@smokeyjtr6424 how you know
SKAIRIPA I leave on September 3rd, but whatever you say 😭
Milkbabe smh people think they know everything
@@tren6893 who give damn about stranger opinion i hope you like military and find new friends along the way good luck and god bless
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 didn’t perform as well as I could’ve in my classes smh BUT I learned and performed way better my second semester. Sleep truly is key
Didn't think my choice in women would get me a shoutout in a Hafu video. Worth it! (Still trying to find the one though...)
Hahahahah I’ll always love you bro 😘
Jensen Tung
Good luck 😉
If you’re still looking... add me @armani.the.barbarian on insta. You won’t regret
Wish you will get your dream girl🤗
I would really agree about the "Don't date, it's gonna distract you" mantra Asian parents have.
Maybe partially 😏 Did your parents say that to you too?
@@hafu yes HAHHAHAHAA
Aiyaaa I understand your struggles
Not only asian parents but African parents too🤣
wait, so everybody here know the meaning of the hindi word 'mantra'
most asian people don't even speak hindi
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
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?
@@siddharthsahu2101same I also need to know
Im motivated.
Got admission into med school in 2013.
Met gorgeous girl in 3rd year Fall in love got back paper didtracted.
And broke up recently 2 weeks ago.
Still i can feel broken feelings.😂😂💔
jeribell marak oh man I bet you’re still feeling the pain. I’m with you ❤️ I’ll still love you no matter what.
jeribell marak F
I’m sorry 😔
U better forget all about her lmao
I’m sorry man. I recently broke up with my first love too I know how you feel. Stay strong
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...
“Away from your parents” - my university is 10mins away from home

Mine is a continent away😂
Mel Flores same lol
Lockdown and online classes: the University is literally your laptop.
@@karlosdaniel6537 ik right you pay for a whole college experience, but nowadays that college experience just ends up being online zoom classes 😂😂
"No Guts, No Glory" Lights. 👍
ayyyy sharp eyes ;)
Wow I’ve watched so many of these college freshman advice videos and yours is actually SO UNIQUE! I’ve never hear of these tips before but they’re actually all so useful. Thank you Hafu you’re the best ❤️
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 😂
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
@@milesrazek6025 if you don't know your limits lol
it's like cocaine, you know
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.
“Skipping to many math classes” Can relate I had a 25 minute walk to my math lecture on a Monday morning. I live in the UK so it’s 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%. Don’t 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 🤔
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
If i called my mom she wouldnt say "啊，我很高兴你打电话给我"
she would say "its about time"
Graduated in May but I’m still watching. This is great advice for anyone starting school.
I'm in tenth grade, why am I watching this?
Tanmay Jyothis my exact thought rn

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.

Thank you for that last advice

You should do a video specifically about healthy eating, coz not a lot of ppl really explain it
I will in the future!
I love hafu.thanks for everything you really are a great perso
Well said bro!
