how I'm ACTUALLY doing as a freshman in college

[@wendysuper8563]

Amber, you are the opposite of weak. Life can be heavy at times, but you are strong enough to push through. I am literally so proud of you girl! We're all in this together. Be positive!

[@johnfroio4910]

Actually, it takes a very strong person to admit that they are struggling. You have taken a big step by admitting it, and learning how to deal with it. You’re outlook is very inspiring🙂

[@yuridia7665]

I relate so much to this. August was so hard balancing school and xc but reminding myself that everything is temporary helped me get through. Super grateful to have had my friend by my side who listens to me and helped me through that tough time.

[@maria5428]

I love listening to you. Your words are of so much value and I'm so thankful you are using your platform to share them with us! You give me so many new perspectives and the best advice every time, thank you so much. Hang in there, you'll get through it. I'm struggling right now as well with balancing many things at the same time, so I want to take your advice on that subject as well as remember that everything we feel as temporary. That's one of the most important things you've taught me. Keep up the amazing content! oh and be positive!

[@scottholland2558]

Be positive! I’ve noticed a real difference in your maturity between this video and your last couple of videos, Amber . . . you are on the journey of discovery and college is the avenue at the moment! Take it one thing at a time (class, practice, lift, test, race) and enjoy that thing you are doing! Love that you’ve talked to your roommate, coaches, mom and don’t forget about school counselors if you haven’t connected with one . . . my wife is a therapist so it’s always good to be connected with one even if you don’t see them all the time! Blessings to you, your healing from injury and to better times tomorrow. 💯🤗👍💪😃🙏🎉🎊👏🙌

[@chloeheaslip]

be positive! I’ve just started college recently too and have felt overwhelmed some days too between finding time for assignments, friends and family, my sports and myself, but its so great to know I’m not the only one ❤

[@MiaKiser693]

Stay positive and you are so awesome

[@joannafrancolini3325]

I’m 26 and been out of university for couple years now. When I was in school I did cross country and track. Trust me you go through waves of burn out and trumpth but the friendships and memories you make are all worth it. Looking back I wouldn’t have changed anything ❤

[@kaylab3468]

Be positive! Thank you for sharing this. I appreciate you talking about the hard parts and the struggle of speaking up for help because I definitely felt that way my freshman year of college and it ended badly for me. I bottled everything up until I exploded near the end of the year.

[@rachelmuir8525]

Amber, you have such incredible insight and the most beautiful perspective on things. Your kind authentic spirit shines through in all you do ☀️ Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this with us ❤ It’s a privilege to hear you speak. This video is going to spread hope and start conversations all over the world. Stay you, we love you for it 🥰 Feeling gratitude and inspiration all the way from New Zealand xx

[@sonyagraske376]

Wow... you are inspirational. ❤ keep being you... and know someone in NC. , me, is pulling hard for you. I just subscribed.

[@saraaube3697]

Be positive 💜 I wish I had this mindset when I was a freshman because I 100% relate to feeling extremely overwhelmed and exhausted by the volume of training/ walking everywhere, and then also recovering from an ed, going to classes, studying, and other obligations. I went in-state though and visted home alot to keep me sane. You're doing great Amber and I think you will thrive in college with the outlook and support system you have!

[@marithecookie]

"Stay positive" This was a strong and brave message. My life is completely different as I'm a decade older and disabled (KZbin became my window to the world). But this video touched me and gave me hope and motivation. I was really struggling lately and especially today because my body keeps deteriorating and your message helped me to look forward

[@peggikonvicka7105]

Be Positive. Stay Positive. I’m so glad you are such a positive force in the KZbin community. People today need to know it’s ok to struggle. Hugs to you.

[@charplatt-miller3966]

BE POSITIVE I understand the shin pain; I've been dealing with that for months on end now, with no running allowed. It's so hard to deal with all those setbacks. Not racing, barely even being healthy enough to run, it's all just been so challenging. You seem to overall be managing it well, even if it doesn't always feel like it. You will get through this, and I can't wait to continue watching your journey!

[@karinac5556]

Be positive, You are strong, don’t forget to try to set aside some time for you(eventhough it might feel like there is non at the moment) College is a rollcoaster and for me (freshman about 6 weeks in) I finally found a routine that is working for me. My top tips would be timeblocking/schedule EVERYTHING (even times lay on my dorm floor for 5 minutes), bring extra snacks to eat on the move, stressing, studing, walking are using energy that needs to be replenished. Never forgot this is 4 years, just a tiny fraction of your life, this challenge will result in growth and self discovery Slightly unrelated but also having gone through recovery I felt like I spent a lot of time in recovery relearning how to listen to my body and just be, but now I am in a period of my life where that’s not possible. thank you for bringing up the freespirted to planed out shift because I feel like it’s totally not talked about enough!

[@smilesandhearts15]

Hi Amber I was happy to hear the update, it is great you want to do hiking and mountain climbing as well as running. I wanted to try basketball and cheerleading as well as running but never got the opportunity, but hopefully I can still pursue some extra sports : )

[@reggiemcafee370]

Be positive and keep up the good work I tell my athletes all the time it’s the memories and friendship that they will remember the most , mental health is a thing for me so that’s big when it comes to sports. Keep inspiring and keep impacting people life and good luck with your running career at high point. Coach Reggie

[@eriol_mits3121]

Be Positive, there is a lot of pressure on a college athlete, or any athlete to be honest to perform and meet certain expectations, and if you don't you are considered a failure. The more serious you take a sport/Hobbie the less fun it becomes, and everything you do before anything else should be fun. From someone's who's competed, your finishes or your medals don't define you. They might look pretty in a display case, buts it's not what you do on a track that matters, it's what you gain along the way.

[@Kaylyn19]

Omg we missed you!!!

[@alexischapdelaine9476]

I think your doing great im sure its hard being away from home and having so much studing and training to do. I have to say thank you, for sharing your personal side and your struggles .Im sure you are helping many others out there. I think what ever business you creat you will be very succesful for sure. Dont' worry about not being able to post videos every week you need to take care of your health and your self. I get it completey, you are 100 percent right enjoy life to its fullest. I hope you take us along with you when you do go rock climbing and what ever other adventures you want to go on. I hope your family and friends back in Florida are safe and ok after the storm.

[@amberschulz525]

thank you this is so sweet

[@IRex-wm9pd]

its a freaking load isnt it. just always remember Amber that when you are long past college you WILL look back on it and miss these days and these people and all the events and craziness, even the mediocre food. it will feel like the best of times then even though it feels like you can barely keep your head above water right now. enjoy the firehose that is life right now and dont worry too much if you get yourself soaked. it will all be over faster than you can possibly imagine.

[@gracewilliams8802]

I absolutely love this, your a huge inspiration to me

[@mscoolgirl798]

First year in college is like going on the High Roller with a fear of heights; on one hand there's the thrill of being on it, but on the other is the fear of being so far beyond your comfort zone and not knowing what's next. Once you get through it, you'll have a better idea of what you can and can't handle. Hang in there kid, have patience with yourself and give it time. It's a period of adjustment that will pass by sooner than you think

Be positive :), not sure if you’re gonna see this but I really wanted to thank you for literally having such a huge impact on me as a person. I have gone through a lot in the past year and your videos and instagram have gotten me through it all. I have grown so so much as a person and it’s helped me so much. I’m a ton happier and so much more confident and I’m learning not to stress about the little things. Anyways that’s a short little thing to thank you for all that you have done and continue to do for me and definitely many others. 💕

Have you tried mediation? It helps put things in perspective. There’s also some channels on KZbin that have some tips to help with ADHD. How to ADHD is a great channel. Also with an ADHD diagnosis you might be able to get extra time on tests if you need it. You got this! 😀🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️

[@wakeupsunnysideup]

[@dleeuss1997]

Hey Amber, not sure if you've seen my comments on Instagram, but I really relate to your story and as someone with OCD currently working towards recovery it's just so refreshing to know there are people my age who're going through similar processes. Let me know if you want to chat more, I would love to get to know you better!

Is there an option to study less subjects for a year? Also I hear that first year university is the hardest, whereas people find it a lot better the subsequent years. Keep at it and talk to people when you need. There are probably also professionals at your school that you can talk to. I struggle too sometimes and I’m just a student, not even a student athlete. Wishing you well. Stay positive!

With your personality and wish to see the world. have you thought about being a flight attendant as a career? You can travel all over the world for free and have a great deal of control over your schedule. Your family can travel for almost free, too. Check out the channels of Kacey Cassady , Flight Attendant JoJo. and Kat Nesbitt to see what flight attendant life is like. They also have KZbin channels that do very well, too. Good luck and enjoy college life. Manny F.
