In the first 2 days of living in halls, I was too scared to leave my room and interact with anyone in the kitchen so I survived off a jar of peanut butter and a multipack of kit kats
STORY TIME One of my professors snapped in the middle of a lecture. I mean he stopped the class for 20 minutes, told us that one of us had intentionally tried to poisoned him and his wife at a restaurant, that he had names, was taking all of us to court, and we were as evil as a giant genocidal snake that ate virgin girls. Yep. At least psycho french teacher was nice...
Yesterday was my first day at uni so I thought I'd come back to this vid & share my experiences lol.... basically, arrived at 10am with my dad, had a very rubbery cheese toastie, got stuck in a queue at tesco, my dad left, i cried in my room for like 2 hours, unpacked, walked around campus, got lost, had an awkward meeting with my classmates & ended the day with some leftover pizza, a packet of crisps & more crying in my room... I think you'll agree that was a resounding success...
i was just thinking about how that chinese guy probably thought nobody would remember what happened that night after he ran away and he would never see these people ever again.. just imagine him stumbling across this video
IntrovertedDarkness 802 believe it or not most chinese people have access to RUclips and facebook, cos the government is so dumb you can literally get around everything
Person: "hey man I need a good lawyer asap could you hook me up with one?" Other person: *appears from the shadows* "a good lawyer eh? Alright then, I'm sending THE lawyer." Person: "you mean the lawyer with emo hair?" Other person: *gasp* Even more people: *gasp* HE SAID IT
1. Don't play drinking games with wine on your first night. It's gross 2. Societies are great, especially the nerdy ones 3. Don't try and have a conversation with your personal tutor while extremely drunk. He will bring it up after your graduation and trigger you with the shame.
LizMichelle and if you want to try athletics, really recommend rowing. The community is great and y'all understand each other's pain because literally no one does (in the U.S. Anyways)
My first semester, I took 18 credit hours (6 classes) and most of them were for juniors. Then, not thinking anything would come of it, I auditioned for the university shows and was cast as the lead. I averaged about 4 hours of sleep that entire semester, and after my last final, I went to my dorm and sobbed on the floor. My roommate walked in and promptly joined me.
for some reason that 'getting a taxi to use phils washing machine' story left me extremely melancholic and wishing i had someone like that in my life ughhh
Always ask someone if "This is the room for _______ class?" Two birds with one stone - you've confirmed you're in the right place (or you're completely lost) and you've at least got someone to sit next to for the first day.
Not exactly. I'm a quiet and shy type (who likes to draw) and I easily found people with similar personalities to me. In highschool, there would be 1/million chance of that happening. Whereas in uni, it's more like 1/10 people will be similar to you. Plus, there's isn't really a social hierarchy when you enter uni - it's like a reset button. Everyone's on the same boat so no one really cares about other peoples' past.
Maya Actually, I found it way easier than highschool or post graduation. 90% of people who start out are as clueless as you are and. I'll garantee you there are a lot of people who share the same interests as you. As long as you don't spend your whole time locked up in your own room you'll be fine.
At least in Uni, not everyone is a complete ass and thinks that twerking on your desk is cool, hip, trendy and edgy. I'm not totally social with everyone, but at least those in Uni have matured since high school and can respect their peers and their workspace.
"I went outside last week, but that's not the interesting part" ...Dan you never go outside, that's the most interesting thing to happen to you in a long time
One huge thing I have learned from my years in college: there is absolutely NO shame in changing your major. It doesn't matter what the change is; this is your life and you're the one who has to live with it. If you feel like the major you are in is not feeling right or wasn't what you expected you are allowed to change it despite anything anyone says. As long as you're happy. That's what matters the most, especially at this point in your life. You're still trying to figure yourself out and trying new things is what you're supposed to be doing. Take risks because you have the time to fix them if they turn out to be mistakes. Life is not moving as quickly as people say, it's ok to go slow. There's nothing wrong with testing things out. You don't have to know exactly who you are or who you want to be at this point. It'll be ok
I'm in my second year doing accounting and sometimes I really wish I'd gone into something different that felt more right for me, like english lit. But at the same time I have no courage and I'd seriously like a job in the future :(
This this this! I'm taking a year out to work after spending one on definitely the wrong course, and it's never too late to change direction if the subject/s you're studying = not for you. No shame in figuring out what's best for yourself if you're able to :)
"learn to cook" ....i once activated the fire alarm because i didn't use enough oil and i was alone so i ran over to my neighbour who helped me and when everything was over, i found out that my sister had been sleeping in her room all the time. yep, we're definitely related
I nearly set fire to a bagel in a caravan and me and my friend were to short to reach the fire alarm and literally no body heard it So I understand wat u mean XD
QUICK STORY THEN ACTUAL ADVICE: If for any reason you have to/choose to drop out for a bit, that is okay. I was forced to drop a semester because of mental health mixed with strict attendance policies, and I was dreading going back. (I decided to take a few summer classes to catch up and slowly work my way up to a full schedule... and by slowly I mean I did 4 credits, then in the fall did 18.... then 19 that next semester when I finally caught up... but that's just my weird music school with weird prereqs.) In actuality, it was fine, my close friends who had not been filled in were concerned, but they never fretted over me in public, a few teachers did make sure I was okay, and I was able to successfully do my classes. I was even more nervous to retake freshman courses... with freshmen... and I did feel ostracized, but just participating in class like you normally would made me some friends and we all learned mutual respect. Don't be afraid to take a break, and don't be afraid to go back after taking a break. It WILL be fine. Talk to administrators, counselors, advisers, etc. They are there to help you.
First thing about college and university... is that nobody cares. Don't worry about embarrassing yourself because nobody cares, and nobody is gonna remember. They are busy with their own lives.
HERE'S SOME GOOD ADVICE! IF YOU SPILL BLEACH, CLEAN IT UP ASAP! i learnt the hard way and almost died from bleach fumes in my first year at uni lmao. My flatmates were shocked to find me in a pool of my own vomit, on the kitchen table and bleach fumes leaking from my bedroom
All his advises is actually helpful, true, and on point. I just graduated from uni literally a week ago and I know for a fact that I wouldn't be able to graduate if I don't do any of that advise. I suffered from social anxiety, major anxiety, and depression, so it is very hard for me to got into new environtment and meet new people and I am also very shy. Three years ago I got into the uni and the first week in uni is an orientation program and there a lot of people in the uni field and I am shaking. But I manage to introduce myself despite my hands violetly shaking, my head is dizzy and I feel like I need to vomit, I'm considering many times to lock myself in the toilet, but I didn't do it. I manage to have friends by the end of the week and in uni friends is important. Because you will really need each other's help. You have to work together as a group, unless you're one of those super smart and super diligent people. I also joined 3 student organisations and it helped me a lot with my self confidence, public speaking and all that. Take a note that when I first thought of joining student organisations I almost back out multiple times and during the first 5 months being in the organisation I didn't say anything at all in the meeting. So yeah, listen to dan, his advises is very helpful. You can do it😊
It's really comforting to hear it can be done, even if you have social anxiety. I still have two years to prepare myself for Uni, but my anxiety is already behaving as if there's a bear chasing me...
Thank you for this comment, it helped me feel better. I'm about to go into my last year of high school and I can't stop thinking about after and what I want to do. I also have social anxiety and anxiety and depression, so reading this and seeing that it was okay and got better for you really helps.
Phil: Dan, what are doing here? Dan: I need to do my laundry. Phil: Why don't you go to the laundry ma- Dan: He took a sock, Phil. Phil: Wha- Dan: just let me use your washing machine.
SISTER DANIEL HEARS OUR PRAYERS!!! just yesterday i was rewatching what not to do at school, and I hoped there would be one about university since I'm starting uni in a few weeks. I feel heard for the first time in my life...
Can't relate to not knowing how to cook or use a laundromat, *very much* relate to crying at the grocery store because you're overwhelmed with existential dread, cheers!
Always remember your keys. Last year my apartment roommates would occasionally forget them and were lucky that someone was home when they needed to get back in.
AluminumDragon I GO TO A SLEEPAWAY BAND CAMP AND MY ROOMATE AND I WERE LOCKED OUT OF OUR DORM WITH OUR HORNS IN THERE i’m sorry i yelled we had to wait for maintenance to golf-cart their way across the half-mile campus and then we missed three rehearsals. ooooooooof
I also had a roommate who disappeared suddenly mid-semester. Never did bother to find out what happened to him, was just glad to have the room to myself. (Tbh, tho, I think I was the weird one and he was just escaping.)
4 years after this video im now a first year in college and binge drinking, struggling in classes, weird library vibes, and surviving off cheap snacks is exactly the university experience lmao i love this place so much
it actually took me 6 years to graduate from university because just the thought of having to get ready to go to a place full of people and having to socialize or whatever used to give me a lot of anxiety
"Someone touched me, then tried to peer pressure me into exercise"
see thats why i avoid people

All his advises is actually helpful, true, and on point. I just graduated from uni literally a week ago and I know for a fact that I wouldn't be able to graduate if I don't do any of that advise.
I suffered from social anxiety, major anxiety, and depression, so it is very hard for me to got into new environtment and meet new people and I am also very shy.
Three years ago I got into the uni and the first week in uni is an orientation program and there a lot of people in the uni field and I am shaking. But I manage to introduce myself despite my hands violetly shaking, my head is dizzy and I feel like I need to vomit, I'm considering many times to lock myself in the toilet, but I didn't do it. I manage to have friends by the end of the week and in uni friends is important. Because you will really need each other's help. You have to work together as a group, unless you're one of those super smart and super diligent people.
I also joined 3 student organisations and it helped me a lot with my self confidence, public speaking and all that. Take a note that when I first thought of joining student organisations I almost back out multiple times and during the first 5 months being in the organisation I didn't say anything at all in the meeting.
So yeah, listen to dan, his advises is very helpful.
You can do it😊
It's really comforting to hear it can be done, even if you have social anxiety. I still have two years to prepare myself for Uni, but my anxiety is already behaving as if there's a bear chasing me...
Thank you for this comment, it helped me feel better. I'm about to go into my last year of high school and I can't stop thinking about after and what I want to do. I also have social anxiety and anxiety and depression, so reading this and seeing that it was okay and got better for you really helps.

Alternative shit activities:
Going to a gym class together
Going to office hours together
Showing off your favorite crying corners to each other
can i add “visiting a distant relative in the hospital” to this list😂
Better yet: *Avoiding* gym class together
heck I wouldn't even classify that as a shit activity i've met some of my longest friends through ditching gym together
Dear Dan, if ever you need to raise your self esteem, in three hours your video has 133 times more views than my university has students
Always talk to the "weirdo" dorm mate cuz they are always super nice and help you out in the future
+Kaitlin Welsh Just... be... be nice I guess? And don’t hack at a chicken with a meat cleaver in your underwear
Please keep in mind that I meant *while* in your underwear because don’t-don’t stick a meat cleaver in your underwear
This feels like a quest. I accept it
Zero Stan especially because that person is me
It's fine, at least when the weirdo shoots up the college he won't shoot you because you're nice
I watched this when I was 16
Now I'm rewatching it right before I go to university
I love how this is secretly like a house tour!
Kawaii Kayleigh I was thinking that to my self
I love how a girl winked at him in a library and that was the final straw. He was like "fuck that" and noped right out of there.
I wonder if he could ever possibly get laid
Selina chan defiantly not
Pretty sure he said in the description of another video that he isn't a virgin.
He can't cheat on Phil
What video???
why no one is talking about the "Fulltime Internet Hobo" in the back ahahaha
tal yorke ikr 😂
Or homo?😏
I WAS ABOUT TO POINT THAT OUT! XDDD
tal yorke AHHH THANK YOU I COULDNT READ IT TY
I thought it said homo😂
Can't relate to not knowing how to cook or use a laundromat, *very much* relate to crying at the grocery store because you're overwhelmed with existential dread, cheers!
cheese
Hahah jokes on you I already dropped out of university
Sam Dooley same but I dropped out after 3 years of a 4 year course 🔥🔥🔥
Lilith Dillon-Parkin Ayyyyyyyyyyy
Always remember your keys. Last year my apartment roommates would occasionally forget them and were lucky that someone was home when they needed to get back in.
AluminumDragon I GO TO A SLEEPAWAY BAND CAMP AND MY ROOMATE AND I WERE LOCKED OUT OF OUR DORM WITH OUR HORNS IN THERE
i’m sorry i yelled
we had to wait for maintenance to golf-cart their way across the half-mile campus and then we missed three rehearsals.
ooooooooof
I also had a roommate who disappeared suddenly mid-semester. Never did bother to find out what happened to him, was just glad to have the room to myself. (Tbh, tho, I think I was the weird one and he was just escaping.)
koutashinji lmao
Lol 700th like
4 years after this video im now a first year in college and binge drinking, struggling in classes, weird library vibes, and surviving off cheap snacks is exactly the university experience lmao i love this place so much
Calls grandma cuz he's lonely. Dosent answer cuz shes busy.
My life
Mine too. My grandma has more of a social life than I do
Daniel Nikolovski I live right next door to my grandma so when i feel the need to interact with another human i walk to my grandms's house.
Daniel Nikolovski I was just kind of surprised it wasn't his mum he called...
Daniel Nikolovski I was just kind of surprised it wasn't his mum he called...
it actually took me 6 years to graduate from university because just the thought of having to get ready to go to a place full of people and having to socialize or whatever used to give me a lot of anxiety
I can’t believe I never noticed Phil stabbing dan for the book 😂
Dan: Literally someone TouChEd me peer pressured me into EXerCisE
Me: That's too far

We've got College, University/uni, and Post-Secondary Education. They all typically mean different things as well.
