5th Year SENIOR Reacts to FRESHMAN Dorm Room Haul | What I Regret Bringing to College

[@k.herondalle]

when you graduate you can always make life tips/post-college videos.

[@MyDriftingDesk]

That is true!!!

[@myanase4854]

Marissa Nicole yess you could go through life with me channel... talking about interviews, rejection , getting a job , an apartment, balancing 9-5 with social life

[@MyDriftingDesk]

@@myanase4854 aww I like that idea!!!

[@chelsey8737]

Job interview tips, resumes, applying for jobs

[@susanaflowers607]

True!! Especially Bc your subscribers will also be growing and getting older with you and seeing the new chapters in life would be very helpful!

[@nedtechgirl]

You have no reason to feel cringy, I see nothing wrong with the old video. It’s good, informative. The only thing I would say is different is you were more formal then and you’re more personable now.

[@MyDriftingDesk]

hahah, that is true!! I'm WAAYYY more comfortable on camera now than I was back then!!

[@charliaa]

You're a super senior

[@MyDriftingDesk]

Yes I am!!!

[@lynaeharrat9291]

Yess do a part 2!! This video was really helpful.

[@MyDriftingDesk]

HAHAH! oh goodness! How cringy can we get?!

[@nathancastilli6788]

Let’s do another one of these in 5 years when you’re a famous KZbin star and have 1 million subscribers. Love all of your videos and wish you all the success in the future.

[@MyDriftingDesk]

hahahh awww! I'll keep that in mind for the future!!!

[@McKenzieRyan]

Love this concept!! I hope you keep on making videos beyond college. 💗 All your videos are so helpful and I’m making college ones too! 🌸

[@MyDriftingDesk]

Thank you so much!! 💖💖 I hope to keep going after college!!

[@MyDriftingDesk]

awww omg. I love this! thank you so much!!

[@dkennedy627]

I'm a fifth year senior this year as well! Part of me feels horrible about the whole situation, but the other part is fine with taking just a little bit longer to figure out what I want. Hoping this year goes well for you!!

[@MyDriftingDesk]

It’s a struggle. But we gotta do what we gotta do!!! Thank you!! 💖 good luck to you as well!!

[@foxsden]

You always deliver on your videos! They are so enjoyable and not like anything else, I always love your new ideas and content.

[@MyDriftingDesk]

Aww thank you so so so much!! 💓

[@mallorygibson9200]

OCM is literally the best, and more often than not, they donate part of each linen sale to on campus orgs :) As a fellow fifth-year senior, this was super accurate though. 10/10 can confirm.

[@MyDriftingDesk]

I loved my OCM pack!!!! So useful!!!

[@lyviajuarez1315]

Since you don’t recommend that specific laundry basket, what kind would you suggest? Like net, or fabric, or even just a more flexible plastic one?

[@MyDriftingDesk]

I like the hard plastic ones, even one with wheels!! those are super helpful!!! I would stay away from mesh bag kinds because those will rip easily!

[@MyDriftingDesk]

LOVE rolling ones!!! so much easier!

[@pugs910]

I got one that was collapsible and it was the best purchase I’ve made lol. Got it from bed bath and beyond

[@sprgrl7]

I like fabric ones, bc they're usually collapsible and if your dorm doesn't have an elevator rolling ones and stairs don't really get along. 😂

[@MyDriftingDesk]

@@sprgrl7 That is true!!!! If there is no elevator, then wheels don't work hahaha.

[@thecookiegirlgamer8851]

Your pink lamp thing, I got the exact same one for my room for Christmas but it was white, and I loveeee it it's so flexible and usefull!

[@MyDriftingDesk]

YES!!! loved that thing!

[@jonathanclark115]

cant wait to see you on campus Girly!!! so cute as always :)

[@MyDriftingDesk]

Ahhh! I can’t wait either!! Thank you so much! 💖

[@michellesunshinestar]

My mom is really good at math. She graduated in 3 years at OSU. She tested into really high math though. Ironically at the community college I had to take remedial math, and barely got through it. But at least the community college was more geared towards remedial classes. Because I tested into remedial classes, I got to take "How to be a master student" course it was the best class ever!

[@MyDriftingDesk]

Oh wow!! that class sounds like it was super helpful!!!

[@songofsolace2006]

Honestly Vlogust has been super helpful. I'm glad I'm on the right track with starting to get stuff for college lol

[@laurasmith4231]

XD I do the throw pillow thing too also I found that I could get all the stuff in the OCM pack for cheaper I saved about 50 bucks but I can't deny those packs look convenient

[@MyDriftingDesk]

SO TRUE!!! definitely now you're able to find all of that separately for much cheaper!

[@EJFrtum]

The bedspread you had is awesome. My sister bought it for college and used it for all four years then gave it to me to use for my freshman year.

[@MyDriftingDesk]

It’s soooo good!!! Great quality!!!

[@katierunyon5162]

Hi Marissa! Ive now watched a ton of your videos and I LOVE them!!, While they answer a lot of my questions would you mimd if I ask a few more? If youre okay with answering: 1) I went pre-college/dorm room shopping and purposely looked for a lamp with multiple shifts/light functions so that I can still use it so that I have enough light to study, but also not disturb my roomate. Is that still selfish of me, even if I'm really quiet, to have that? To use it if shes trying to sleep? 2) should I get a mini lock box for my very personal stuff? I usually keep cash on me because I feel its how I am most responsible With money. If you were my dorm mate, would me locking some stuff up offend you? 3) My plans for clothing are: 15 shirts, all my pants, all my socks, and underwear. My plan for laundry is to wear everything once and then after two weeks do laundry in my last outfit. Should I do laundry more? Is that a bad/good plan? Ive never lived on my own before or had to share a room where my space was really really limited and I dont want to bring too much..... Thank you so much!! Even if you dont answer the questions watching your videos has REALLY helped my incoming freshman anxieties. Thank you!

[@MyDriftingDesk]

1. that's TOTALLY not selfish!! That's actually being quite respectful of your roommate by getting that! 2. Honestly, it may make me think like "hmm, I wonder if they don't trust me, if that's why they're locking their stuff up" but also, it's totally normal to do that. I never had anything worth locking up hahaha, so I never did! If you got one, you could always keep it in a drawer or under your bed so it isn't so BAM in your face that you lock your things up. 3. Doing laundry every other week sounds like a great plan! that's typically what I did in the dorms, especially since you have to pay to do laundry lol. I hope that helped!! also I'm so sorry for the late response!

[@Mfchannel1001]

Are you not allowed to buy a new mattress and put the old one under the bed???

Doubtful, the ones they issue are fireproof, the mattress toppers work just fine!

@@meganhiggins8199 That is true!! The ones they give are good for ~some~ purpose lol. Try and make it as comfy as possible!

[@morganshannon7221]

At my school you have to leave all the furniture provided in the room and you weren’t allowed extra big items unless you had a note from a physician so we just went with a mattress topper

Why are you a fifth year senior?

[@thebeezkneez2557]

Some programs are 5 year programs. Even taking 5 classes a semester and a summer class each summer I will graduate half way through my second senior year. Which I did go to community college first which may have affected it. Sometimes too, if you change your major it can cause you to have to take other classes while making other classes you have taken useless for your end degree. Therefore, causing you to have to go a semester, or four, extra.

[@thebeezkneez2557]

Or is it senior senior year? Greatsenior year? Supererogatory senior year? 🤔 Humm

[@MyDriftingDesk]

If you’re actually curious, you can watch my Why I Didn’t Graduate video, I go into detail about it all. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2GnYX2rqq97brc

[@thebeezkneez2557]

Yep, did the full time thing during community college myself. Even though CC was easy to me, working 45 to 50 hours a week leaves almost no time to study effectively. It also took a huge toll on my now non-existent social life (if I wasn't at work I was at school, sleeping, or studying, when possible {literally never}, which leaves absolutely no time to hang out with friends). Hey, but so far I am not knee deep in debt. (Worth it 😁)
