You guys changed my life. I graduated yesterday. Just before that, my class went to the beach. It was 10 pm and the water was freezing, fog everywhere. My friends wouldn’t go in with me. I wanted to go so I went in. Minutes later, there were almost 50 kids in from different schools who followed me because they saw me swimming. One of my favorite nights of all time. I hope I can find myself in college. Seek discomfort.

[@greywardenxiii451]

That's an awesome story 🥰

[@maaj792]

[@zach1638]

College is a place to completely rewrite yourself, but is seems like you're already doing that. So keep on writing, enjoy the adventure, and run head on into the most uncomfortable experiences ... because then others will be able to find comfort when they do it too :) I hope you're enjoying your first months

i went my 4 years pretty much the same. Never did party's but i did find just a few people to talk to. Thats the main thing though. Breaking out of your shell. Just say "Hey", you'd be surprised how many others are just like you. They are having the same experience & you coming up to them will make their days. Be the change you want to see.

Creating a video for your funeral is an idea my dad had and made into a company! It’s called MyStory, The Story Telling Place. The idea is that you are interviewed and tell your story firsthand, so important details wouldn’t get lost for future generations, and the video of “your story” would play at your funeral. My dad made a video himself and it played at his funeral, it was beautiful ❤️

[@Melanie-ww4yk]

Pro tip: if you’re already in college and somewhat close to graduating, don’t drop out. Finish your degree while working towards your goal. That way, you still have a college degree at the end of the day, in case the goal doesn’t work out as expected. It gives you options.

[@elma573]

I can't take the deep conversation at the end seriously with that camera angle, it's too funny

[@Tianton1]

I spent a summer in Cape Cod and we spent the last few days in Boston. On our last day we went to Harvard in the morning. We sat on the grass and the place was hopping as it was the first week back after summer. A young guy came up to us and introduced himself to me and my friends and we had a great chat with him. He then Revealed he suffered from crippling nerves and anxiety and was so happy he had met some people on his first day in college and hoped we could become friends. I didn't have the heart to tell him we were on an evening flight out of Boston to Dublin. So what we did then was we literally went from group to group of freshers over the next few hours mingling and getting this guy a new set of friends. Would you believe it Worked!!! (his name was Phillip)

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

How to summon the Brazilians...play a bit of their epic anthem at 0:26. Ahmed's story really hit me. Just hearing that his house was bombed, shows the dark reality of what it means to be in a warzone, and it makes us thankful enough to not be in one. While I'm glad Ahmed has a much better life in the US thanks to the UN refugee program, I also feel bad for what the US has done to his country. Thank you for showing his story with the rest of us. College isn't for everyone, but for those who choose to continue, it can certainly be a lifechanging experience. As shown with the partying...and the POV (which was the chef's kiss lol).

[@Erin-S]

I have a degree, although I don't work in the field. I really appreciated how you mentioned the privilege of going to school, because a lot of things need to go your way in order to attend university. I've been out of school for 10 years now and I have forgotten a tonne of the things that I was taught. But many of the friendships that I made are still intact. I think university teaches you how to teach yourself. You learn skills and techniques for being a life long learner, even if you forget the facts. You don't NEED to go to uni in order to be successful. It's just another one of those life experiences.

[@ThomasLiljeruhm]

Same here. I have a good degree since 8 years back, but I've never worked in that field. However, I sadly didn't make any close friends at the university. But I fully agree with you about developing the skills for lifelong learning.

[@drummingzombies]

Something I'd like to add is that finding the right college for you is equally as important as the decision of going or not going. I graduated last year with a degree in a field that I hate and with not many new friends that stuck around through to the end. I followed my friends and a girl to the school I went to and it was not at all the environment I needed to grow. Wrong city for my music career, wrong list of programs for me to choose from, wrong community of people for me to connect with, etc, etc. I went with a full ride and ended up resenting my choices so much that I started not caring and lost my scholarships. Now I'm in debt for a degree that has yet to help me get a job over a year later and in a career field that I despise anyways. DO NOT take the most comfortable route with college. It will waste your money and stunt your growth. At least the relationships that I already had when going into college grew into definite lifelong friendships. In the end, there's a reason for everything that happens. A year after graduating I was still in the area and met the love of my life there. I now know that to be the reason I made all those decisions years ago. ❤️💙

[@racerex340]

Talking about Harvard, mentions Harvard being featured in countless movies, shows clip from Good Will Hunting where Will is solving a problem on a Blackboard at MIT, where Will works as a janitor. LOL

[@simplesimply3753]

I’m a college dropout. While I miss the learning I don’t miss the pressure at all. And I’m still okay with my decision. Now I know I can learn anything if I just buy my own books and study on my own.

[@julialomotey]

This is something I wish more people thought about. You can learn anything throughout your life at your own pace by using the internet and any workbooks or nonfiction books. You can become great at so many things without the pressure that schools puts on you. Idk that pressure is kinda horrifying tbh idk how it’s legal to mentally and physically pressure kids in that way

[@tyo007]

I admit that many people go to the college simply because college provide a basic certificate to apply for job (including me). That was the thing for a while so a lot of people don't really need to understand wtf they are doing as long as they get the degree. It's really naive way of thinking but that's how it is. The most important thing is how you make connection, your first job and the next one after. Whatever you do in your life, make sure it was worth it. Took 5 or 6 years to graduate? no worries. You spent more because you build something along the way. Graduate in 3 years but no social life? no problem. You can build relation with extra 1 year you have or earn money faster or join a top company who can provide you with more connection to expand your network or knowledge. Same thing with dropout. As long as you have a purpose in your life, go for it and hit it hard.

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Harvard was established in 1636 in the colonial, pre-Revolutionary era by vote of the Great and General Court of Massachusetts Bay Colony. In 1638, the university acquired British North America's first known printing press. In 1639, it was named Harvard College after John Harvard (whose statue you can see at 1:43), an English clergyman who had died soon after immigrating to Massachusetts, bequeathed it £780 and his library of some 320 volumes. The charter creating Harvard Corporation was granted in 1650.

[@aknee3042]

[@Noviosity]

I work at a uni... And I'm always asked "does this degree guarantee me a job" from both prospects and current. Honestly, the answer is No...for the most part and in my opinion, I think you'll have a better chance of getting a job with connections and experience. School really isn't for everyone (important and not necessarily need for everything). Some careers do require it and are mandatory, but having experience and connections on top...your ahead of the game compared to those who Don't. Myself for example, my degree is so pointless and isn't related to my career at all... Do I regret spending 4-5years in something "useless"? Nope, cause it was an experience that taught me a lot about myself and the education system. The connections and experience I made while a student was what really got me my job. My personal advice for newly graduated high school students who are lost in what to do. Either put in the effort to try various jobs (could be volunteering too) and or attend post secondary. Also for those attending post secondary, be active! Don't just attend class and call it a day... Join clubs, volunteer/work, attend study groups, get to know your instructors and peers. Get the most out of the uni/college experience! It's not all about the grades... Don't be like me but my motto even when I was in elementary school was to just "pass and have fun" lol

[@Y_Canada]

Tommy shouldn't feel bad about dropping out. No one should feel bad about dropping out. If you're doing well and you're happy - it's all that matters. A degree doesn't equal good life and happiness.
