MOVING INTO A JAPANESE UNIVERSITY (Akita International University)

[@StephChoiVlogz]

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that I am doing well! I never get homesick, I just get sad leaving my family behind,, so I'm alright now! Met some friends from my year today, and it made things a lot easier for me to handle. Going to go to sleep now everyone! :D

[@MrRaktrader]

Love ya! have fun making new friends!

[@RuruWotagei]

Steph Choi hmm akita.. pretty far..

[@jiunwai7760]

I'm about to graduate soon. Trust me. Uni/College will be one of the most important/best stage in life. Make friends, join clubs and sooner you'll have your own little family in Akita. hahaha. ;)

[@tarunjeetsingh3396]

Steph Choi I totally understand ....what u're goin through.... m too an international student....studying at canada ......originally the plan was 2 settle down in JAPAN !!!! Cuz I luv JAPAN!!!!! the culture, the food, the people , ANIME😍 but yea....it's only been 2 months in canada & I always end up crying at night cuz of the whole missing or family thing

[@rellinne]

Steph Choi I personally get homesick really easily especially when I can't see my family for a long time >.< I'm so sure everything will work out for you Steph, you just have to keep going and being positive as always. Beginnings are always difficult but afterwards you will see how much this experience was useful for overcoming you fears ^^

[@yoink2520]

me: alrighty this video looks good steph: *sniffles slightly* me, crying literal tears: WHAT THE HECK

[@TheLollaura]

Hi Steph!! I understand how you feel, I go to a university that is far away from my family. I hate leaving them every time, and I miss them every day. When I get down, I always think about how blessed I am to be going to a university when others cannot and about all of the experiences that I am thankful to have. I hope that can help you whenever you feel down at school!! You will see them again :D I wish you the best at uni and I hope you have a wonderful term! :)

[@deepikaupadhyay5679]

best wishes for your new experience in college , enjoy .with lots of love

[@deepikaupadhyay5679]

I'm also a college student so i can understand what you are going through , even i miss my family a lot . Be strong

[@djskybeatz]

Regular exercise and a balanced, varied diet are the most important to mental alertness, second only to having consistent sleep patterns. Try to sleep and wake up at close to the same times everyday, and try to avoid sleeping in (more than 8 hours) even on weekends. Hope you feel better soon :) keep us updated with your adventures. Fighting!

[@christinajoanne8177]

Aww steph!! You sound so anxious! Please don't be! You're always full of energy, super friendly! You'll make tons of friends. Not only that, you're super smart so you'll excel in school. Don't worry!

[@ForeverSummertastic]

Steph your university vlogs are my favorite! It's so fun seeing what you're up to and when you said you felt nervous I felt a little nervous too! I'm so excited for your future videos! Will definitely miss your family though! Good luck on everything

[@iloveapplejuiice]

Ah I never really comment on KZbin videos but I just wanted to say we're all cheering for you Steph! So excited for you as well to start this new journey :) when I moved away from home it was very tough at first but I eventually found my niche and now this is my home!

[@monkeyface9597]

Keep your head up girl, you are a great fighter and I'm sure you will meet new people who will make your stay pleasant and worth it. Stay brave Steph, you're awesome!

[@JiaJinTan]

Ahh~! The shots from the airport right down the campus brings back lots of good memories I had during my short summer program there last year. All the best in this new semester Steph!

[@arukiri123]

[@UshioSorrows]

Life is like a book you need to fill up with experiences, it'll bring you joy to know all the things you did even the little ones, good luck on your adventures. I will start mine as well.

[@chikichiki2849]

hi steph I hope you can continue to be productive because believe it or not u inspire me to be productive everyday. Love you steph!

[@ichigoiruka18]

I studied abroad at AIU a couple years ago so it was suuuuuuper nostalgic for me to see the school again ^__^ Best of luck in university and hope your leg heals up soon!

[@czkaira1901]

Have fun there, Steph!! Excited for you to meet new people 😌

[@epicrainbowpig]

I am planning to study abroad at Akita university! Currently, a junior in high school but hopefully my sophmore year of college I can study there. Stay strong Steph, even though it's hard in the beginning, it will get easier as time goes by! Plus, don't forget all of the memories you will make at university, and seeing your family later will be all the more enjoyable :)

[@freedeal8826]

look on the bright side, how fun it will be to come home to the family on holidays. Meet new friends and have e a great time at uni.

[@theanna749]

All the best Steph! So excited for you. I'm sure everything would be okay 😊

[@JJYuen12]

Hi Steph, I am watching your vlog from Taiwan now, as I this is where I am on vacation for the next few days. It's nice to see that you're still able to upload vlogs consistently after going back to Akita University.

[@CMri]

Good luck with everything, Steph!

[@kenjinakamura115]

Was it just me that I almost got teary eyed at the beginning of the vlog when she was looking sad about leaving to university. It's hard not being able to see your family but you will see them again soon. Good luck at university

[@kao5789]

I'm getting secondhand nervousness/excitement from you! Can't wait for you to have fun this semester :]

[@doggo2643]

Good luck Steph! Enjoy the uni life!

[@stanstantalent.5605]

we finally got one of those hightech toilets, and IM LOVING IT! (strange thing to share ik).

[@jovatar]

I love the choice of music in this vlog! keep up the good work steph!

[@h23456ify]

I love you Steph! Don't worry you're gonna be great!

[@dweevilkay2907]

Akita is so near to Aomori and Hakodate! Which means it gets crazy during winter. Then again you'll be home for winter. Anywayz, Good luck on this next phase of your life! All the best and may God be with you always!

[@WaxGod99]

Woah, I totally got the "first day back to school" vibe and got so nervous, and you started crying which made me sad, I wish you the best Stephanie. You call her Stephanie, I call her Headphanie!!!

[@xKrimmySan]

Ooooh good luck steph!!!!

[@InvokeReflection]

Have fun at uni, hope you'll become close friends with your roommates soon! Also, if you are worried about not being able to vlog properly in your room, may I suggest investing in some sound absorption foams? They can be relatively cheap and should help a little in reducing noise coming out of your room.

[@ですジョイス]

All the best for Uni steph!! I'm going to Tokyo to check out some universities this may, planning to study design over there! Hopefully everything goes smoothly for you and me!🙏

[@AdoreAmanda_]

Good luck! You got this Steph!

[@greyvon2041]

GIRL ENJOY THE UNI LIFE! (havent watch it but i know i'd enjoy it anyway) xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

[@theFool893]

hey steph! make sure you eat well and rest well! im guessing youre feeling tired/groggy since your foot is recovering so your body want to naturally go into sleep mode to aid your recovery.. anyway all the best for UNI!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stephensamuelhalim9352]

That utada song makes my tear go out , anyway goodluck on your study !! ♥️

[@shannybridgejeez5816]

Aww that was too short but okay be safe and be happy steph 😊 you can do this

[@ChaimaDZ]

She's back yaaay

[@cec6607]

if you have a small room like me you can put the bed against the other wall and move the library. So the desk can be all on the window! :P a little bit of space helps a lot.

[@freddiebryant8932]

Hi Steph, keep turn those frowns upside down, "you're going to make it after all" love ya, stay encouraged

[@TrueDeathless]

Hey Steph!! Going to Uni again must have been a really hard but good decision in the end!:) I hope you enjoy it to the fullest cause it's not just about studies, but making lifetime friends and having some of the best memories to look back on! I wish I did it (I commute to college) but hopefully you have good roomies. ***Also the reason why I waned to post a comment in the first place was to advise you not to count your calories and worry so much about that stuff.. as long as you eat healthy portions and exercise, then that's perfect. Please don't obsess like you did in the past, your mind won't get better that way. Take care and good luck:)

[@devin12262936]

best of luck to you and enjoy the semester!!

[@nish1e]

pls dont be sad ok steph!!all the best💗

[@Zachary1330]

you have grown so much. I'm proud of you

[@sammyiboi]

omg steph.. the tears (and the music) made ME tear up too sdlfjdslkfjldskj I'm gonna miss your family/Kobe vlogs so much. I always say stuff like this whenever you move to a new area XDD But yeah I wish that you make many many friends and form awesome memories now that you're back in college. I can't wait for things like (1) trying to vlog inside your apartment and your apartment-mates hearing you and also wanting to be in the vlog!! (2) all the new friends that may show up in the vlogs as long as they're not camera shy XD (3) all of us in the comments wondering if you might be forming feelings for a guy (4) gaining new experiences and sharing them with us during the heart-to-hearts. Oh yeah! It's such a honor and blessing to be able to watch your vlogs. I know you said before that you try to entertain us but I really think you're always doing us a great service by sharing your daily life through your vlogs. I won't take these videos for granted T____T

[@tenkaiplays3925]

Goodluck for your future Steph~ All the besttt

[@Stephy11sa]

Hey Steph! I'm also moving out to my university next semester and it's a couple hours away. Idk what to do like it's such a strange feeling moving away. I'm going to be a junior in the fall can't wait! Hope you're doing well!

[@lisaneuschmied2601]

hey steph I'm wishing you a lot of fun ,happiness and luck 😊 I nearly cried when you were leaving your family 😭😘

[@Kazushiryu]
