This is the best college advice video i've ever seen, as a rising senior who literally went thru these EXACT SAME EXPERIENCES when covid hit I can say 100% that this entire video is absolute gold

[@RR-et6zp]

shes still born with value to be visible to the opposite gender

[@dominosdriver2249]

Nina, when you said "We are all capable of achieving so much" tears started coming out of my eyes because I am literally in the trenches right now. I'm in 2nd year of my CS + Econ degree and it just feels like EVERYONE is doing better than you. But this video is a good reminder that it's just all in our heads.

[@nicholasn.2883]

The not being able to get close with close friends is so real. I would put in so much effort and be so committed to people I don’t necessarily vibe with like that. Now that I’m in college not going to be making that same mistake

[@accipiter4349]

The last tip hits me hard. It's only been the first year, but every time I reflect my college experience, I realize I didn't go through with exploring things that I found interest in. I thought to myself I valued spending time with friends I've been kinda close with over some little clubs. In the end, I felt my experience was so incomplete and pointless. It makes me realize how I have to balance my priorities next semester.

[@crystalraptor195]

How have you been spending your current semester? I want to spend time doing things I find interesting!

[@emmanueloladosu8987]

Something that I also do on the first few days of the semester is to put down all my homework, exams, and other important events in my calendar. It's my daily reminder of what I have to do. Check that shit everyday and you'll be aware of what's to come

[@sababatamanna9226]

I feel imposter syndrome all the time. But I am trying to deal with it. Thank you for sharing, Nina!❤️

[@AprilHarmony9]

3:33 💯🤯 YES! I was almost in tears. Right, during the pandemic, we couldn't be on campus anymore and my "friend circle" became non-existent. That was eye-opening.

[@the_it_girl1209]

Lemme tell you, having someone you know in certain situations are very helpful. I remember I was super nervous for baseball practice and I knew a person and met her friend and no I didn’t make the team but it made me feel SOOOO much better.

[@boutdataction9068]

as someone who’s going in as a comp sci major and is unsure about the whole thing the imposter syndrome and the picking classes part spoke to me 😭

[@appletwocore]

oh yeah, the last tip is definitely important.. it's not 'uncool' to try hard and there's nothing wrong with having a fervent passion for something u care about. thank u for the thoughtful n insightful tips nina!

[@_paulalyn]

thank you for this. im a freshman 2nd semester and my college “friend” is saying “you better pick a major soon” as im undecided. im taking all gen eds rn and they said “dont take too many gen eds u will have a harder time.” but i try not to care and just take each day as it comes

[@evelynguo975]

relate to everything in this vid so hard 🥲

[@elsalv5968]

Are we living the same lives Nina? this is exactly how i feel about friendships i swear. thanks for the video, absolutely enjoyed it. subscribing! love the vibes, the energy.

[@e5823157]

your advise are literarily gold 💫I can speak from being a master's student

[@bernadetvandekamp8012]

Holy shit Nina, I feel like we have learned the same lessons in college, especially the one about friendships and that trying hard is not uncool. Damn I really thought I had it figured out in my first year 🥴

[@wamyy5]

Ayy my fave east coast beaver with the pro tips 😉 btw, LOVE the new hair, Nina! 😍

Wish I heard this when I started college

[@daphniet930]

Nina I’m a senior in high school and I LOVE your videos so much!!!! You’re so relatable and funny and I’m here for it 🙌

[@ameliaforemny9605]

I LOVE YOUR WINDOW VIEW OMG

[@harshinivakkalagadda6933]

thank you so much

[@CubosAssistant]

I’m loving this hair on u girllll

[@maryleene5431]

Yeah. .making Real friends is hard in college esp when you dont know anyone. USA is such a big country so unless you are living together its so hard to be close with each other.

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning happy Wednesday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@edfallin6447]

Excellent advice. Beautiful location.

[@tay_dance7696]

This was so helpful because my first day of classes is tomorrow.

[@EK-rz2xp]

I'm going back to school for an MS at 26yo and this has been a great vid to recenter myself. Thanks!

[@nadiuhh98]

Same I'm going to school for Theology at 24. Good luck to you!!

[@rakibulislamchowdhury2048]

Thanks for this video way better than earlier one. And what I am assuming is that college is way harder than high school

[@naomiisaiaholive4576]

Amazing 🤩

[@trentinuit7880]

This is good advice.

[@CodedCole]

my entire schedule was with my friend and its so tough to make new friends because I already have one in that class

[@allielee]

i'm a junior at berkeley and i wish i knew this before akskfjej learning the hard way was worth it tho

[@turtleby]

watching this as a rising junior im watching this because i stillneed help

[@nmathavan-mg6lw]

Nina Wang, i love you

[@bysscanna]

this was a great video ! do you have any advice for the sophomore slump lmao

[@jocelynzhang3005]

i remember first watching your college decisions video as a middle schooler, had this video saved in my "Watch Later" for almost two years. now i'm coming back to it as an incoming freshman at mit!!

[@Uddipa_Pal]

congrats on getting into MIT!🥳

[@magicmika_]

Trying hard is not uncool

[@shvkpr1]

Me who listened to the advice in the original video and used it for my first week at college 👁👄 👁

[@evelynzhang6235]

off topic but where is your top from? it’s SO CUTE!!!

[@alioudiouf6805]

She grew up quickly, but stays beautiful. I am Mathematician and software Engineer living in Paris and I love her! Come to Paris, we will open a startup!

[@mahkhi7154]

The Majority of your Organisation's are Charades. You can't compete with Giants. So you're merely Assemblers. However, Assemblers do need to be educated to correctly configure software. What You need to do is Teach "Scratch/Sonic Maker" at GCSE High School Level (Age 13). Then Java at the Harvard Level at University. Then in Industry, they'd be able to Start off doing the Smaller Jobs. After a few Years, they'd be Able to do Complex things.

[@alexanderyap8831]

My school is starting in 2 weeks, any advice on how to naturally make friends without approaching someone and unknowingly seeming as if I have some ulterior motive. Since covid I have not attend school in almost 2 years, so it's a bit daunting u see. Any advice is appreciated ty :)

[@khoichuvids]

approaching someone doesn't give off the vibes of ulterior motives. Just be friendly, but not too friendly. Then it seems fake and ulterior

[@zayedsharma6416]

❤ nyc

[@AdamariMedia]

Me taking all the advice as a current senior 👀

[@flaviamariagaleazzi6688]

Hey how do people make friends in college? I am a freshman and when I go to class nobody seems to want to speak to me (maybe that's just my impresson).

[@sarahcramberry6185]

So real

[@tiiyy]

❤️❤️

[@xianzai_ad1928]

w advice

[@varshapatibandla485]

so many people are so cliquey and gossip a lot i''ve never heard sm drama help

[@astcroidskies8901]

fr like why do people be so dramatic my life is so boring 💀

[@timwong580]

The west coast is the best coast! The east is the least.

[@ohnoohno110]

2:00 One of my friends from school was telling us that he made a friend in the first week who then told a poem about t*rturing hamsters. They are no longer friends.

[@loeng888]

My son graduated from MIT this year.....

[@timwong580]

Hey did you get a return offer for ms after you graduate mit?

[@timwong580]

Nina it’s important wat u do the time after u graduate. Employers don’t like to see gaps in the time immediately following school graduation! Maybe you can have a serious talk with your parents or family as they know u best. I wish I listened to my father when he told me to get any job after I graduated from college.

[@Mydayyss]

I've been in this uni (uottawa) for like 3 months now and I have no single friend. Idk just feels like every student doesn't want me because of my Hijab because I'm Muslim I don't feel welcomed at all

[@danieleromonsele]

Hi Nina😄

[@davidparnell3241]

Hi nina

[@aurora-sq8xx]

[@aurora-sq8xx]

i'm gonna cry

[@aurora-sq8xx]

please nina 😭

[@joymae]

Wow I believe you’re probably the most beautiful girl at MIT

[@4piousmen]

MIT L, Kings College W.

[@jt_rooster3228]

Yep. What do you know? To make friends, you only have two options. You dominate or you suck up. Pop culture? Hobbies? Food? Dominate or suck up.

[@John-re4hj]

hellllllllooooooooo
