Advice I would give myself 2 years ago
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
So this video is going to talk about just some advice for high school students. If I could talk to myself two years ago, when I didn't know where I would be going to school or even where I'd get into school, I would probably tell myself not to stress out as much. I was really worried about where I would go, where I would get in, what would be the right school for me? What? I meet friends there, and I think I would just tell myself just to calm down, don't stress out. You're going to get into the right school for you no matter if it's m I T or somewhere else, you're going to find a place that is right for you and you're going to meet some amazing people wherever you go, something I wish I'd known before. Although freedom and college is nice and it's especially something that I was looking forward to living with my parents is something that's really different from living on my own. I kind of wish I'd cherished spending time with my parents and seeing them every day a little bit more because now to see my parents, I'd have to fly three hours. I really wish I cherished high school a little bit more and kind of the structure, seeing the same people every single day. Now it's a little bit more work if you want to see people because your friends might not be the same. Majors is you? So they're not taking the same classes you, whereas in high school, basically, everyone had to take really similar classes, if not the same classes. So I would just cherish high school friends and spending time with my parents a lot more before I came to my team. One thing that they didn't tell us on the college tour that I wish I had known is how weird it is living with a roommate. So I grew up in only child at home and I never shared a room with someone. In college you have to share space with other people. You have to make sure that your room and somewhat clean in case your roommate doesn't like when it's really messy. Thankfully, my roommates are really nice and tolerated. It's really eye opening experience to share a space with someone who's not your family. Something else that they didn't tell us on the college tour is that you really have to be more independent. So when I was in high school, my parents would tell me when to go to bed. Now that I'm in college and my parents aren't around, I really have to remember to do those things myself and hold myself accountable.
