Life update...

[@ashlynlee905]

Coming from someone who has been on a college dance team and is a current coach of a dance team, I think it’s great for someone who has a platform of this magnitude to take people behind the scenes of college dance. It gives prospects an inside of what it’s like to be on a college dance team as well which is super important. It also gains their interest and could be a nice recruiting tool for the team. I’m sorry for how it ended for you. Wishing you the best. Your future is very bright!

[@HelenPiltner]

Thank you for sharing this!! I completely agree and had the same thoughts as you. Even though my time with the team ended unfortunately, I think it happened for a reason and now it’s time to move onto bigger and better things. Wishing you ALL THE BEST with your coaching! Hope your team is doing well!❤️

[@vanebasabe]

I found you in YT a few weeks ago and love your content (I also subscribed immediately 😊) Rest your mind, organize a bit and everything will fall into place!! You are half way through which is pretty exciting btw 🎉

[@aussielawyer]

I really respect you not just caving and taking things down. That shows great strength of character. Good luck this year. I’ll be continuing to support and follow you. Btw in case it helps, and just for that reason, I found the few videos where you and another person were trying to get people to do things and give responses (can’t recall the specifics) didn’t interest me as much as your other videos but that could just be me. I really enjoy your videos giving an insight into life at Harvard (incl dance), life in Boston, life w your fitness, and maybe an insight into your internship, and life generally. I really liked your idea and approach re thinking outside the square though. I wish you luck. Be confident. You’re wonderful. Xx

[@aussielawyer]

That should have said “friends” not “fitness”…but fitness is good too!

[@masawhiro]

dear Helen, hi!! i’ve been your subscriber since the time you uploaded your college decision reactions, and honestly i feel so happy whenever i get to see your new vlog / shorts / or just a talking video being uploaded, they are so full of positive energy, valuable advices from you and your amazing friends, this all honestly motivates me a lot in my own life! it’s my very first time when i comment below your video, but i just wanted to share that i’m one of your supporters! i hope you’re doing very nicely this summer, that you focus on your work and study and things that you feel to be passionate about without neglecting your health! that’s the most important! ❤️

You are such an amazing inspiration to the world! You motivation, intelligence is awesome and it benefits so many to do better. THANK YOU❤

Wow, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Seriously means so much to me! Viewers like you motivate me to work harder and make more videos❤️

Your channel is amazing, whatever you do with your channel I'll be there every step of the way!! Enjoy the rest of your summer and I'm excited about whatever you may do

[@Melissa-wc4nc]

Thank you Helen for this life update video. I have been watching your videos since you started with your channel and I would be lying if I said that you aren't my fav vlogger! I love your vibe, your content, your transparency and the way you talk about your studies! I really hope that you find your motivation again and bring us new videos.

[@HelenPiltner]

Really appreciate this!! Stayed tuned for new videos in the fall semester!! I definitely have a lot of new ideas I wanna try out❤️

[@alicedamiano7718]

You have a lot of good things going on. If some sometimes don't go super well, it's understandable if you feel bad about it, but at the same time, it's a normal part of life... you are still such a successful person overall. I understand to some extent why things didn't go well with the dance team, and I also see why they wanted more control over what about them was posted online. I think there was a lack of communication and clear agreements. Both sides can and should learn from this experience.

[@iurisantos1524]

helen, i love your videos, they're so motivating to me, continue!

Helen, Vacation is for having fun!!! Enjoy your SUMMER and relax! Post KZbin when you are rested! IM sure you will be back on the top of your stats AGAIN!!! Enjoy your summer!!! :)

[@ewikgeiwgwe8971]

i really like your videos, but I think a lot of people get turnt off when they hear "i'm a harvard student" 15x in every video. then people think being a harvard student is your personality

[@sayturn8510]

I disagree, to gain more views you need to connect with your audience and know what they tend to like. Depending on how you see it yeah it can be repetitive but that’s the life of nearly all college vlog channels not sure what else they could do

[@venusvlogger]

Agree to disagree, what's wrong with going to Harvard?🤨 Don't get why that would be a turn off😂

Have you ever thought about being a camp kessum conslor at Harvard? It is a camp for kids who have been effective by a parent’s cancer. It is a huge impact on there lives.

[@erinontheguit]

Great update. It’s too bad they didn’t recognize the opportunity to support you as sort of an ambassador, with the positivity you bring and all of the hours of your free time spent working on sharing behind the scene glimpses. Their loss! K bye to that negativity. Your fans love your videos for a reason. Keep doing what you do. We are here for it.

[@nanawordie7967]

Fr they fumbled, that's their loss

[@emilysong8763]

Wishing you the best, Helen! Perhaps you could try doing reaction videos on other people's acceptances or reactions to videos you find interesting! I've been dancing ballet since 5, playing the piano since 4, and also did a LOT of theatre growing up so your stats/extracurricular video resonated with me. Reaction videos wouldn't take as much time (compared to a vlog) to film and you would be able to react about what you care about so others can also relate to you/know more about your passions. PS. I just came back from Boston and I absolutely loved the atmosphere! I wish I could have met you there, but its okay bc I made so many awesome friends it was bittersweet to come back to Canada: 🇨🇦

[@HelenPiltner]

Sounds like a great idea!! Hope you enjoyed Boston! It’s so amazing during the summer💖

[@sj1856]

I’ve literally binge watched your entire channel this week😂 I love your content❤

[@oranzhevyyptitsaalou4795]

Hello, Helen. I just discovered you and watched your Harvard acceptance video. I love your personality and love seeing your growth as a student. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Harvard made the right decision to admit you and I can't wait to see what else is in store for you. You'll find your balance. Being a college and influencer is hard but I believe you can manage. Maybe you can set up a schedule just for uploading videos since uploading is similar to another job. Congratulations on your internship. I can't believe you're halfway done with school.

[@HelenPiltner]

Thank you so much for this comment! I’m so so glad that you enjoy my content. Viewers like you inspire me to continue growing as a creator in college! Setting up a fixed schedule for uploading videos is such a good idea. I also can’t believe I’m halfway done with college, so I’ll enjoy my last 2 years as much as I possibly can!❤️

[@oranzhevyyptitsaalou4795]

@HelenPiltner I remember seeing your Harvard acceptance a few weeks ago, and you were just 16. I can't believe you're almost finished with school. Time goes by so fast. I can't wait to see what else life has in store for you. I love your videos, and I hope you keep posting. It sounds like you have to find balance, and you will. Enjoy the last two years of college because it will go by so fast. We're all here on this journey with you.

[@peaceonearth1971]

Hi, Girl, how about doing an espisode on the internship? how did u get it? how is the actual work, etc?

[@cam3112]

Helen do not feel bad 😭. Your going through things and your a college student working toward your goals. I know KZbin must be really important to you but prioritize your mental health too we don’t wanna see u burnt out 🫶 , praying for you 😌

[@stevetgraphixartist]

JORDANS are SICK!!!! WOW!!! Very COOL and SUPER NICE!!!!!

[@megandrynan6080]

I don't think that you should worry too much about KZbin. Just focus on school and your internship etc. And definitely make sure you have time for yourself and friends. University is very demanding and a job in itself. I can't imagine what Harvard is like.

[@venusvlogger]

🎉❤ You're doing Great, keep going (Cause you're going places:)

[@hope2011]

my eyes teared up towards the end bc I know the feeling of giving your all for people who will never appreciate or value any of your efforts, instead they'll only criticize you. Glad you were able to move on and found your comfort space on media, your videos are amazing and more people will realize that!

Lots of geetings from gold old germany! You the best, you deserve best, only best! You are like a Victorias secret Angel but multiplied endlessly to eternety. I did best degree because of you and christine Lee at the past and contemporary, you also deserve best results of yourself. You are the Most pretty and most intelligent and brilliant young woman, you are

[@netmuong]

Helen, I have followed you since your video getting acceptance info Harvard. You are great. But I think you also need time to rest and rethink about your KZbin pla. I am from Vietnam and I just get acceptance to US College, I will become freshman this August. You motivated me a lot through the difficult application journey. Believe in yourself. I alsways support you

[@aaronbwatkins]

I don’t know if you realize, but your content really makes a positive difference to a lot of folks. You mentioned that two girls on the team auditioned because of your content - what you may not realize is how many hours of your content they probably watched and rewatched just dreaming of being a Harvard student and imagining what it will be like for them. I’m in the Extension School and when classes get hard - like this summer 😢 - it’s cool to watch videos like yours to feel a part of the college and the community. I am sorry that you feel down. I can imagine the sacrifice it takes to post high quality content AND be studying neuroscience at the best school on the planet while pursuing a super dope internship. BUT YOU ARE CRUSHING IT! 🎉

[@HelenPiltner]

Thank you SO much!! I really appreciate your kind words! This means a lot to me and motivates me to continue making videos. Hope the extension school is going well, and I’m rooting for you too!😁

@@HelenPiltner oh. Well, sorry you've had to go through what you've gone through with this, but you've made an impact and a difference with your videos (allowing us to see and learn things about your college that we were curious about), and, often times, unfortunately, when people are doing great things, circumstances or other people will get in the way, but, that doesn't have to stop you completely from pursuing your interests and goals, and, often times too, those impediments actually lead to something greater (as long as you don't quit) and so it turns out that those people and circumstances will have HELPED you to achieve something greater (although in the short-term it may seem like a derailment and in the short-term we don't know yet what that something greater is, but it'll come, if you keep going).

Hello Helen

[@kravitaaam4632]

post about what are the goals of harvard students

[@rezaiqbal07]

from your undergraduate acceptance decision day to till the day following your video, I'm not an expert on youtube analytics, also you have not asked for help regarding your analytic, I'm very interested all of your videos, In my observation as a visitor my findings point that need to take care 1. maintain video published time, for example, every day or every week, or every month but same time-frequency, 2. Audience expectations, (by observing video watch time ) 3. You are interested in. another point research about keywords and little bitt knowledge about youtube SEO trends,

[@sixbass2588]

Hello Helen! Recently, I found an article from reuters and fox9 about the acceptance rate and racism. In a nutshell, applicants who have legacies with students that already graduated from uni, have up to 7 more chances to be approved. And the people that are at Harvard, In terms of their race, 70% are white and the rest is unknown. A 16 yo boy (me) wanted to Harvard, but I started to think that I don t have a single chance. Did someone from your Archaeological tree did go to Harvard before you? Is someone from ur family from Eastern Asia? Because you have asian face. And one more thing: You said that ur father is german, do you have any jew descent? And, please reply to this comment. :) Have a good day!

[@zachmorris8921]

Helen, you're way too smart to be spending this much time on KZbin and creating a personal brand. You seem like you may want to pursue med school and be a professional. How do you think your supervisors at MGH will view all this time spent on KZbin. It sounds like you already dealing with the consequences of this with the dance team. You'll be successful without KZbin and being an influencer. Leave that for the masses. You can do KZbin later.

[@blueb6802]

It might be is because you are not providing any real value to people through your videos. A lot of people are not consistent but they still have a lot of view every time
