What? I was a High school freshman at age 12

[@highlyhp]

Major take away from this video: become a stalker.

[@MariaPaulaTapia]

I approve. I'm already a huge stalker.

[@joiwade_]

Can't wait to start at USC this fall, fight on!! I have been watching your videos forever and I am glad you are doing these to help freshman. :)

Hey katherout I'm about to be a senior in 3 weeks and was wondering if you can make a video on some tips for college applications, tours,and what to prepare yourself for before going to college.

[@porshawilliams7127]

[@siennapayne9485]

Class of 2024!

[@jvmsjs3]

Katherine, been subscribed for a while now. Going into college in the fall, and I have burned through your college playlist multiple times already. All your videos are extremely helpful, and I feel much more prepared for college with the advice that you give!! Thank you!

[@Katherout]

haha love that you've "burned through" it --- that's like my dream vision for viewers of this channel!!

[@cassiusoutlaw3622]

Wow she said the class of 2022 and that’s me. And this was uploaded 5 years ago. Thank you so much for the help I feel great now😊

[@LeSweetpea]

OMG #9!!! I was feeling so bad about not buying any school apparel(besides a baseball cap at welcome day) this Summer because I didn't work during Spring semester and couldn't afford $60 for a sweatshirt! and everything else. I don't feel so bad anymore! Thanks for the tip haha

[@torikai1000]

I love your channel!

[@LeSweetpea]

therealpretylittleliarsfan Elabdellaoui Thank you soooo much!!

[@lidiafeliciana8329]

LeSweetpea パリス u I agree

[@RandomPerson-hj8fq]

Your so beautiful

[@Homegurlz]

Yessss girl. The Enneagram is everything. My family has deeply studied it for over 10 years. It is super helpful that we all have knowledge of it, so we can say to each other "My new boss is a 6" and then we all have a full understanding of elements of that person's personality. There are free tests online, but most importantly the books are amazing and helpful. Also, subscribing to the "enneathought" of the day for your type is fun, too!

[@Katherout]

+Jhomegirl12 I WILL subscribe that sounds so coolio!

[@KiaraMadisen]

Yippie another super helpful college video!! I have been watching your college tips for a few years now and I am so exited to finally say that I am a freshman!! I loved your happy dance at the start of the video haha :) Although I wish I was starting my freshman year at USC I am exited to be a Duck next year and will always be a trojan at heart as my mom was a flag girl in the band there many years ago! Thanks for all of the helpful tips and tricks I love the idea of taking those tests to be able to describe yourself which I feel I need to really be able to do especially because I have so many attributes about myself! Thanks again for all the wise words :)

[@Katherout]

Oregon is so so beautiful!

[@baileydiamondidis]

I start my freshman year in less than two weeks! AAHHH I'm so nervous and excited! Thanks for this video, it's so helpful!

[@baileydiamondidis]

Wait... @katherout are you from Georgia??

[@Katherout]

+Bailey Diamondidis Nono I just visited Atlanta in July!

[@baileydiamondidis]

+Katherout oooh okay, I thought that I saw Georgia on that "best friend DIY" mug you made. I'm from Georgia, so I thought it would've been a funny coincidence. :)

[@electricpenguin32]

I used to work in my school's college store/book store and it's better to wait until August for clothes because that's when we get in the new stuff. During June/July there isn't as much, so the cooler merch comes later (: And like you said, sales are more likely at the end of fall semester and during spring!

[@Katherout]

^ YES everyone read this for tip #9

[@girlmuch27]

This was so helpful! Ready to jump into the college pool so I'm thankful for the tips. 👍🏾🙂

[@Katherout]

lovely summer metaphor :-))

[@girlmuch27]

Thank you! Were you thinking of doing something like this for upcoming sophomores in college? I'm going to be a freshman, but it was just another video idea for you. :D

[@Katherout]

Taylor Burton ah very good point! it's not as much of a difference between freshman v. sophomore year as high school --> college, but i can still make a video!

[@girlmuch27]

Ok! Good luck in your junior year of college! :)

[@shaniaa.1397]

Class of 2018! Graduating next year! So nervous but excited as well! I am planning on California too...let's hope so :)

[@TheMakeupMelon]

I was wondering what school supplies you brought to college and what you recommend and if you used the same type of supplies you did in high school. Ans can't wait to see the rest of this series because I am going to be a freshman! Also where did you buy your textbooks?

[@STRDX]

Get like 5 notebooks and pens and a backpack

[@geekygirl2596]

TheMakeupMelon I bought my textbooks at the college book store but I hate buying things online so it's just personal preference. If your going to buy yours online though you will need to know the volume number, title, author, and any other little details you can get from the professor on the book because it's so easy to end up with the wrong book and then you don't have one for a week. This can set you pretty far behind on course work.

[@that-weirdogirl]

TIP #7 IS SOOOOO IMPORTANT - I'm so happy I'm not leaving home with the rocky relationship with my mother we had during the beginning of my high school years. We plan to take a road trip together this summer, and I can't wait to spend more time with her (she's a full-time teacher, so she's either in school or always working on paperwork, lesson plans, etc).

AH thank you so much for replying! I have literally been binge watching your videos for a year now, as I went into my senior year and of course was DYING about college! I'm now going to be attending CSULB in the fall, and may be looking into transferring to USC eventually! Just depends :) Thank you so much and please keep making these advice videos.

[@mylifeparanoid]

So happy you made this video! I am entering my first year this fall and I am really nervous! Thanks for the tips! Love your videos.

[@Katherout]

love you for watching them!

[@emilyklassen5610]

Hiii Katherine! Thanks for the video, it was super awesome and helpful :) At least for my first semester, I'll be a business major too, so I was just curious on what you plan to do with your major and any advice you may have on that major (since I'm still unsure of it!). Thanks!!

[@angelinawilson2458]

Thank you so much for making this video, I'll be a freshmen this fall and everything you said is super helpful!! xx

Second point is particularly good, I remember when I first entered university the campus tour pass by a club called 10lbs club. However, I was never qualified since I was playing tennis roughly 3 times per week.

tip #7 is so real

[@waterbender19]

I TOOK THE MYERS BRIGGS PERSONALITY TEST A FEW WEEKS AGO AND IT WAS SO EYE OPENING!!! Sorry for the enthusiasm but it was so amazing to be described so accurately and, I don't know, it was just super awesome. I totally recommend that everyone should take it ! It's so cool. PS. I'm ENFP :)

I might be attending community college this fall. I graduated from high school in 2010.

[@SaloniNahar]

[@Katherout]

[@katdrinkard3271]

Thanks for this video! I've been following your college videos for the past two years but I'm actually going off to college this year. And, I'm doing a summer program, so I leave in literally a week.

[@Katherout]

AH have a safe trip!

[@katdrinkard3271]

Thanks! I'm excited and your videos have been really helpful.

[@geekygirl2596]

I'm in like my third year in college. I've gone to a grand total of 2 colleges (one two year and one 4 year actually) neither had any sort of blowout sales and bookstore stuff is very expencive. I recommend buying as little from there as possible. The only thing I recommend buying from the book store us your textbooks because there is an extra layer of making sure everything is exactly right and if it isn't or they ordered the wrong book for your class then I find it easier to return things to the book store verses like Amazon.

[@SuicuneSweetie101]

Thank you for getting me through a new year of college with your videos!!! You are a true inspiration

[@Katherout]

OMG STOP i'm just lil me

[@margarethillman6224]

more things: •minimize. go through all your stuff and get rid of clothes and things you dont use or want so that you dont bring unneeded crap with you. youll be more organized and itll be a lighter load. •part time job or side hussle that you out most of or all aside for your FUNds. fun money. •hunt for the professors online or people who have had them so you know what its like. •see if your school posts dorm tours and campus tours so you can try and start memorizing landmarks. •start your routines early. maybe if you know youll have early classes get used to going to bed early and waking up to an alarm. also work out meal times and even set study time. (example if your last class is around 3pm then sit down and research or look over stuff and 4, even if it isn't actual work. •learn easy meals to cook/healthy snack recipes •work on interpersonal skills, distress tolerance skills, and mindfulness skills. i recommended DBT training manual second edition by marsha linehan. ive been doing that program for a really long time with my therapist and it helps me so much in uncomfortable or stressful situations. it seems dumb but if you work on it youll be thankful. •look up some background info on your classes and make an overview •get familiar with your calculator and computer. look at all the programs and tips. --if youre using the same computer clear out unnecessary bookmarks or apps. •find good grammar editors and things like that.

AAH thank you SO MUCH for mentioning mbti AND enneagram! Totally didnt expect it, but they’re definitely good to use for that.

[@abbigailrolfe3688]

Could you do something about commuting? I guess you might not know much about it but just an idea. I'm commuting to a small university and I feel like I'll be left out by just driving to class few days a week then driving home. And maybe also what it's like when all your friends leave the area and your stuck at home and the same job you had since high school. And what it's like being 17 starting college and your parents forcing you to stay home and drive. Because that's how my life is about to go. .

[@orangepeel_er]

You sound really upset about this decision. Whatever school you're going to, look it up on college board if you haven't already. Itll tell you the amount of commuters at your campus because trust me you aren't alone!! Where I live in Maryland, SO many students commute to schools. I'm sure you won't feel left out, you will still spend lots of time on campus. Best of luck to your experience, and remember it's all about your mindset.

[@abbigailrolfe3688]

Well i'm dropping out after I'm 18 so I can get my life together.

personality test are as real as horoscope, general bs you read that makes you selectively recall incidents that reinforce the bs they just told you are

[@fadilahkhan9416]

they may be general bs but some companies make you take these tests after/ during you interview. I agree about the bs thing though.

[@mchjsosde]

[@silver5962]

They're very interesting and based on your reactions and thoughts, and not or the day you were born. You can't compare them to horoscope.

[@sungwontv4580]

I KNEW YOU WERE ENTJ! When you mentioned the Myers-Briggs, I was really hoping that you were ENTJ because I watch your videos religiously since I relate to you so much and figured you would be similar in personality type. I am ENTJ as well... apparently there's only like 3% of us lol. And yeah, I know that personality indicators aren't always consistent, but after reading all the personality type descriptions, I agree that it suits me best. I'm definitely headstrong, assertive, and focused on convincing people one way or another! ENTJ's rule!

[@sungwontv4580]

also i started watching this video when it came out but forgot to finish watching, and then i saw your recent vlog w friends and was like "oh wait i haven't finished this video yet... anyway, I'm starting my freshman year at my local state university and i've definitely capitalized on your advice!
