How Minecraft Got Me Into College

In this video, I wrote my college essays about Minecraft. The journey was rough, and at times I thought I wouldn't get accepted into college, but in the end... Failure is something that everyone faces.

This video is actually insane. Huge congrats on finishing a 200+ editing project! I've been a content creator for 4 years now. I resonate a lot with this video- coincidentally, I got into UCLA as well (I had to decline unfortunately) I'm currently on a gap year trying to make the most of my KZbin channel and grow it as big as possible. I'm also trying to save up as much money to attend college in 2025. But your video was super inspiring and made me feel less isolated from my bizarre application process as well. My entire common app was just about KZbin and Rec Room (the game I play on my channel). Keep up the amazing work man 🔥

[@rice]

If you come to UCLA hmu 😉

[@EatCake12]

I used RecRoom in one of my college essay’s. I wonder if they’ll accept 😅 Good work Slat love you ❤

Ty Rice for writing this video. As a long time fan I'm so happy that you got into college :D. I am under stress right now of getting into a "top school" for senior high school. I always wanted to pursue medicine but I am always under pressure when I think about my future. This video really motivated me more to study so I can get the life that I wished for. Hoping for the best!

[@MaawwiShorts]

Huge congratulations rice! I actually finished OMORI a couple weeks ago, you got me into it with the audio from the sunsi video! Love the editing, it fits perfectly. Best of luck for everything!

[@rice]

Why didn't it work bro

[@liminalityy_]

​@@rice I wonder how many people you indirectly killed from that one

[@SybirdV]

Well, you definitely took the right route my guy. Using a block game to your advantage. At least, college will have things for you in the future that'll bring you a very consistent income lol. There are those that drop out for money, there are those that put 100% of their time and effort in high school, and don't do anything else in that time. But you used this block game to your advantage which is truly amazing, and now you're working on other projects. Of course these college's would want you xD

[@blockybeeswarmers]

I'm probably a bit late here, but heres my story. During lockdown in 2020, I was addicted to minecraft. I was in 5th grade back then and I really enjoyed watching you, hzuni and straight just play sumo or just comboing. You are now an essential part of my lockdown memories. Thank you for the quality content. I respect your efforts rice!

[@outmc]

The king has posted.

[@cole4538]

Congrats rice! Back in the COVID days I would watch your daily video every day! So glad to see you’ve come so far

[@ItsFlom]

CONGRATS! I also used mc for my personal statement lol, now attending nyu this year :D (im ngl i refused to show the essay to anyone until post admission decisions, as I was certain my relations, peers and teachers would deplore my choice). The reaction to decision/essay was worth the months of refusing my parents' requests to view the essay. I wish you great success in college!

[@SakuraRiceFarmer]

probably the deepest and most melancholic vid i have ever seen, especially centered around minecraft and college. I hope u do well man, ill always support u! :D

[@yvpoet]

how 😭

[@arnaldo8853]

This is actually really inspiring because I’m on the same process of college applications and with so much to come that I have no idea of watching this video makes me actually have hope for the future. Great video, and good luck either way your future.

[@somecommenter5214]

Thank you, Rice. I needed this.

[@JingruiBai]

CONGRATS ON GETTING IN! I hope you serve as a role model to other aspiring students hoping to get in!

[@maaaars]

The fact that you accurately recreated Omori in this video is INSANE. One of the greatest videos I've ever watched

[@RiverHeights]

No way he started a kids channel😭😭😭 I literally jumped when I saw that. It's really cool how this guy actually grew as a person. You really can never know who's behind the screen

[@sleepykitten2168]

[@abedintheshed8696]

Hey rice, this video is actually really good. I think you should keep making these videos about your college life or experiences rather than Minecraft.

[@zanzardyt]

This video is so nice edited, the flow and the theme is just so cozy!

[@Nathaniel_chan]

I've watched your videos for a very long time and I just wanted to let you know that your content is some of the best I've seen on the platform. Thanks for always putting your all in to your videos.

[@Prahg]

Oh my goodness. I absolutely love this editing style. I don't know if you are interested in it, but I would be totally willing to pay for lessons on how to edit like this.

[@rice]

Step 1. Listen to OMORI OST for 1000 hours Step 2. Lose your mind Step 3. Edit and lose your mind In all seriousness though, it’s kinda hard to teach this editing style 😭 it’s just my personal preference so it can’t really be taught I can’t lie, most of the stuff is simple motion graphics and 3D cam though

[@Prahg]

@@rice W! I will start with Step 1. Ty tho!
