It has been 1 year, since u posted this video, I just want to ask… r u okay? It is my last year at university, im feeling the same way, literally lost

I am a disabled student who was forced to take two years off from Columbia after being harassed by another student. The administration, which is indeed reprehensible, protected my harasser, because his father was a prominent alumni of the college. After a lengthly legal battle with Columbia's henchmen, I begrudgingly returned two years later and managed to graduate Magna Cum Laude. I am particularly ashamed of Dean Peter Awn, an abominable administrator, who threatened disciplinary action should I pursue my legitimate complaint and attempts to remedy through proper channels. Awn passed from a hit and run accident a few years ago. Karma. Equally shameful is Marsha Wagner from the Ombuds Office. Wagner failed to resolve conflict, promote civility or mutual respect. Her unethical behavior and purposeful bias is as breathtaking as it is chilling. Perhaps most disingenuous was Columbia's theatrical farce in "mediating". The school hired an ostensible third party arbitrator, who in reality was an attorney hired to shroud my harasser with legal protection. The school was unconcerned with the fact my harasser maintained a low GPA, whereas I had a 4.0. Nor did Columbia regard the fact he cheated on tests (yes the writing on your hands was obvious) and plagiarized assignments. Moreover, the university was indifferent to the fact he was a known tormentor, who pestered another student to the point where her distress compelled her to move out of her dorm room. Fast forward twelve years after graduating from this "prestigious" Ivy League school and the tortuous experience still haunts. Not only was Columbia the worst experience of my life, the "prestigious" degree did nothing for my career. My "education" was a complete waste of time, money and effort, albeit I had a front row seat to academic corruption and superficial ethics. I am angered Columbia willfully attempted to harass and silence me. I am outraged Columbia purposely engendered an atmosphere of intolerance not conducive to education. And I am infuriated Columbia intentionally coddled and protected a delinquent student who, by the school's own metrics, should have been arrested and expelled. Accordingly I will continue to speak out against Columbia, a poor excuse of an institution of so called higher learning.

i love how much importance you’re giving to prioritizing yourself, your mind, and your soul. and i’m glad you took time off to figure things out! but i do have a question for you about a small detail you mention in this video. would there even be a “you” without “everything else”? who are you if it weren’t for your hobbies, your ways of thinking, your belief system, your aspirations, your culture, etc. if you remove all of these factors, there would be nothing left. if you peel off all of the layers of an onion, is the onion still there? my answer: i don’t think so! anyway, that’s just how i view things. i could get all nerdy about it and talk from a psychology or a philosophy standpoint, i would love to do that if you’d like, but i wish you the best on your journey of self-discovery and personal growth. i hope this comment ends up helping you in a way or another.

The true daylife of software engineer is not including 3 meetings and strange hackathon with awards. Seriously, you are working first year? The true software development includes one daily meeting (10-15 minutes) and probably +1 on the week (retro\demo or something like that). And hard work all rest of the day. Fixing bugs on calls, really? Did you hear about version control systems? Chats? I guess you are tipically zoomer who wanna be a software developer because of hype\money\macbook etc.

having a starlink and some solar panels on top of the van to top up your batteries seems like a small investment.

dude i forgot you commented on my movie tysm amazing

Good for you. In the greater scheme of life, 4 years of college is just a short episode that flies by. Better to take a break and find out what energizes you than jump on the bandwagon of other's /corporation's expectations.

this is great i love your content 🎉🎉 good luck on your journey!

6:50 lmao the girl looking t he camera

❤🎓✌️🇵🇸

No thanks. I rather live with my mom then living in a car. Ya weird

wow this was so moving.. it’s scary going off on your own and not knowing if things will be alright in the end but I’m sure you’ll do great things and I’ll be supporting you here on youtube. Keep up the good work! 🥹

Im a software engineer too and this is something i want to do. My biggest concern is making sure i have reliable internet during the 9-5. Do you ever have problems with this? Do you always try to go to coffee shops or do you work off a phone hotspot sometimes too? Any tips, tricks, or products to buy to help with this??

Does the job not pay enough?

At 3:45 when he said "most beautiful place in all of North America" I immediately thought "ok let's see how this compares to Lake Louise" and then he said "Lake Louise".

1 more week till I graduate college then I’m off to Wyoming to work for the forest service

my mom has that car

wow. i'm speechless.

Get a grip weirdo

What is that table called?

You looked like pro tekken player knee in that thumbnail

Give it a few months and this will take off. I watch every instagram video, you'll go far.

Hey, I’m applying to Columbia for the fall. Are most of the classes on campus recorded? I have autoimmune issues, and sometimes it’s hard for me to make it to class. My current university doesn’t do that so I’m stuck usually teaching things to myself and relying on tutoring to catch up if need be - they’re not really accessible at all. Thank you so much if you end up replying!

Which residence hall do you live in?

Our family owns those same exact plates

He went to Columbia; that's why he's so good

Toemas, if you buy an Apple Vision Pro, you can work outside. 😉 Also the title of this video is 💀

To chasing our dreams in our 20’s 🍺.

thank you for this

It blew up now

I love this video and everything you’ve said it’s amazingly made, but honestly it makes me feel scared to go to college. I applied to Columbia and if I got in I’d consider going, but really just college in general, this made me feel like I need to rethink what I want in life but also idk I feel like I can’t not go to college. Wonder if anyone else feels the same 🤷

It blows my mind that this video doesn't have more views; it is literally one of the best edited, highest quality videos I've seen in a long time. I think you will do exceptionally well as a filmmaker! Coincidentally, I too want to become a filmmaker someday and I fear that my parents won't understand my vision, as they expect me to do something in computer science or engineering. I don't really have the courage to tell them otherwise. I have an interview with a Columbia alumni tomorrow, and so I watched your video to learn a little more about the idiosyncrasies of the culture. I've definitely felt that perpetual grind mindset before, and it's good to step back and take a deep breath. Beautiful video! P.S. The grind mindset and loss of your sense-of-self is a common trait among many students at top universities. The shallow and uber competitive nature is what makes many students feel this way; it's not uncommon. I wish you the best in your respite!

Great video What camera you're using

Marvellous

my future fr

Just subscribed 🎉yeah

H@m@s University

Confused why you’d apply if you don’t like the core tbh

Yo, why did you blur out your feet?

why does this have such a little amount of views?? This is great!

I chose JHU over Columbia for premed and I think after this I’m happy about it! Columbia said I would need to pay $90k and JHU bme is indisputably better for pre med 😅

absolutely beautiful man, hope you find what you're looking for!

this is like one of those low-key channels with insanely high quality videos that's going to go viral as soon as someone clips it on TikTok

This is the best one I have seen yet!

Making mine rn

I really enjoy ur channel. I admire ur story and i think ur gifted in media/film production

Seems fun, I should apply

I'm sorry, but nothing better than coming home to my cozy townhome! Glad I'm a millennial and got to experience what it was like to have affordable rent and not have to live in a car.

Medical students live in a van , if you don't have the money thats what you have to do !
