undecided is very common for freshman at not only harvard but all schools, most first year courses are introductory so you can decide what you want to pursue in your upper years. i think it’s admirable to give more things a try than to just choose what you “think” you might like when you haven’t even graduated high school

@Tom Tom i’ve been there and it’s really tough. Finally got out of that shell and trust me, it’s much better. You’ll have your own personality. NOT people’s opinions, but you’ll have YOUR own!! I’ve been seeing, during my hikikomori phase Here are difficulties I faced and that can help you understand the situation sooner: people on the internet who identify as “introverts” say that they don’t need other people to be happy, that they enjoy staying alone the most... it’s not true. It’s a lie they created themselves. We are social animals, we enjoy people’s company. Talking to people, even if very little, will lift you up like you just worked out one time and you already have a very fit body. You’ll notice that these “introverts” talk about their “qualities” with pride. Teenage girls mostly, talking to each other making memes on how annoying people are, and how much they love their house. and you too, if you see yourself there, even a little (and you will, even as an extrovert, because they are humans and feel like that too), will start unconsciously changing your mind to fit into the ideal “introvert”. It’s not healthy. You’ll run away from socializing when that’s what you and your body need the most. Actually, socializing is very important. Sure, there are annoying people out there. Those you “can’t stand”, and just want to run away. It’s a lie. You can stand them. And the more you do, the more you’ll start learning how to be patient, when to talk and when not to, and also more in peace with yourself, since, when you start not being too hard on people just because they’ll be annoying, you’ll be patient with yourself too. I can say something motivational to you but I know there’s a small percentage you’ll change. I myself always said to myself “I’m not gonna use my phone tomorrow” then… haha… This continued for 3 YEARS DAMN IT. Lost time, never gonna come back.

[@ugauga9129]

@@christa4172 I know exactly what you're talking about. I've been there too. I stayed at home all the time saying „that's just how I am, this is normal nowadays. Everyone does this, I see this on Instagram everyday. I am just an introvert.“ my life revolved around netflix, gym, and food. I thought I was doing good without people and friends. Until I wasn't. I had this wiered feeling of missing out a huge part in my life, but I just ignorded it. I guess this whole hikikomori thing began when I was 15. now I am 18 and I am still struggling to get out of this bullshit which I put myself in. But it's harder now, because of this stupid pandemic and because I gratuated school in 2021. Since I realized I was stupid enough to cut myself out of people, I just want to go out and meet people everywhere, even though I know not everyone will wish me the best. Instagram manipulated me by making a trend of being not social and hating everyone. And I was an idiot and went after it pfffffff (Sorry for my english)

[@rebeccamclaren97]

@@christa4172 Ah I so needed to hear all of this!!!! (/see it in writing) I almost quit my pretty decent job recently bc of the amount of social interaction & communication required daily. I thought 'I can get a WFH job', or one where there are significantly less co-workers to deal with. But we do need (and, even as a shockingly quiet and shy introvert, I will say honestly, _crave_ ) the company of other people, and the only thing that will get me past the fear of them is to practise. To keep going in my career even though it's painfully awkward most of the time. To plough onwards and get all uncomfortable and to _enjoy_ the uncomfortableness, because that is where growth lies. "Comfort is the enemy of progress". I need to practice talking to people, mingling with others, asking questions and sticking around in situations (like staff meetings, social events etc) I'd normally run from. It's so incredibly easy to get stuck in your own head, and, like during a panic attack where you can't control your breathing and it gets faster and faster, your thoughts too can become a snowstorm of lies that you start to accept and live by. Also, as this video reminds us, people aren't always scary! They're humans too, and most of the time they just want you to be happy 😀

I feel like Harvard itself is an extremely over rated school. There are amazing universities across America and the world where many people excell and go on to do greater things. Harvard is prestigious, but don't let that fool you, these kids are no smarter than the other top 20 universities of at least America. Go to a school such as M.I.T or UVA and Umich or even Columbia or Princeton and you'll find kids just like the ones in the video. Great minds can come from almost anywhere, students shouldn't have to be in debt 70k a year just to get into the same occupations and jobs as kids who went to in state schools for not even 10k a year.

[@tumblerbtb7918]

70k a year!!!

For international students, private universities are usually the only options we have in the US. They are super expensive but they can and must cover the majority of the fee for admitted students in financial need (majority of foreigners). I personally wanted to apply to great public universities but they charge much more to internationals, and don’t offer any kind of financial aid, making it impossible to afford without big loans :(

Honestly, I wasn't surprised at all when he said "I thought it would be harder". Most probably because he is an Indian. I still believe Indians/ Asians are way smarter in studies when compared to the western students. One possible reason could be the syllabus. The syllabus of Indian curriculum is way harder than western syllabuses. Calculators too aren't allowed in Indian syllabus, so brain gets trained from the very beginning.

[@cr_louis2683]

@@laylasarmiento3308 Did you really want to be overloaded in work? You have to look at the different people too. The girls were there bc of sports, so maybe they’re a little less focused on outstanding academic results. The indian guy is doing maths, which can be slightly easier if you’re highly analytical. And Jose indicated he had to work his arse off. The thing is, they still have to work so so much but their is also time for leisure and relaxing. Luckily. Otherwise they would all be burnt out in no time. They surely have to study hours after hours daily. But don’t limit yourself to studying. I am a law student at a high ranking University in Europe and trust me I have had plenty of time to take breaks and watch entire series like The Office, Friends, Breaking bad whilst gaming, still doing social activities (scouting, going out…) and in the meanwhile scoring above average resultd. It’s all about time management.

[@tiger2010eve]

I still vividly remember when I was a freshman at Princeton and taking a Japanese class where we were practising talking about time... and the ecturer went around the class and asked each person (in Japanese) how many hours they slept each night. Pretty much every one said 4 or 5 hours... So when it got to me, I was super embarrassed to confess I slept 10 hrs every night ! (And still I managed to get good grades, work part-time, go to them gym every day, go off to horse shows with the equestrian team on the weekends, and do a lot / probably too much partying). I think there is quite a big difference between international students vs American students. e.g. in NZ, most of us (unless we are lucky enough to have rich parents) grow up knowing that as soon as we hit 18, we're out on our own and expected to be independent. i.e. move out of home, get a job, pay rent, and - if we go to uni - to fund our studies ourselves. (usually via a student loans for most students, with only limited scholarships which are mostly for those with really good grades). And e.g. when we go to university, while many will spend their first year in a hall of residence, after your first your you will typically spend the rest of your studies renting privately off-campus, working 20 hrs a week to pay your rent, cooking your own food, and so on. So I think we tend to learn time-management etc at an earlier age. Whereas in America the whole 'college fund' thing seems to make a lot college students still be more like children who are dependent on their parents, rather than independent adults like many uni students in other countries. (That was probably one of the most surprising things for me when I ended up studying in the US ...how many college students seemed really dependent on their parents. And not just financially. Like, a lot of my classmates would even have their parents help choose the courses they took?!)

[@Alain816]

I think you might die from a shock if you visited Europe then haha for us it seems so weird how people just leave their families when they turn 18. Especially in the South we live with our parents up until we get married lol

@@Alain816ived in the UK for a while, and it was much the same as NZ. Indeed, NZ culture of leaving home and becoming independent at 18 largely stems from our country's British heritage...If you are talking about other Countries in Europe though, then sure.
