I was a mess at university 

I thought this said “planet” and was so confused lmao

enemies to lovers

And the fact that it ties in with his youtube career! What a build up and such a pay off!

Phil from kinda fruity to definitely fruity. Take notes, be fruity.

Genuinely the best ad skillshare has ever had.

what

@@ann1ka_ 9:10-9:20 when phil mentioned where he used to work at ! :)

@@airabelle ah right

he's so funny

It's on this street... Somewhere...

He's got to get his money's worth.

@@Sentientmatter8 what a throwback

Omg same. The fireworks effect is iconic.

@@Sentientmatter8 :)

timestamp?

lmaoo i thought the same thing, it’s so sweet

:') I love him sm

yes!! still makes me laugh lol, what a throwback 🎆🎇

It did, I once saw a guy literally skateboard into the lake

We get the same thing with the river at my uni, jumping in (usually after staggering back from the uni bar at two in the morning) is an expellable offence

there was a lake near the student housing at my university called lake sif, short for lake syphilis, because if you jumped into it you would definitely catch duck syphilis and die. I'm pretty sure that isn't medically possible but it did help deter people from jumping in the incredibly gross lake hahaha

and you *know* there was ONE person who definitely ruined it for everyone else at some point. Like the people who decided lLITERAL COUCH SURFING down the campus river was a good idea. Yeeeaaaaah....that didn't go down well

there's rumors that the lake contains giant cat fish that eat ducklings

NO, NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME! why should i waste my time at school? i am super famous on youtube. tell me, dear wat

I feel you!

@@AxxLAfriku you tell me! I need to pee

As a current university student, I will have to agree

I would say me as well but that’d imply I’m no longer a mess.

my first year consisted of me crying about the most stupid things, never getting sleep because of the drug dealers in the next room and wondering how many people believed my first pathological lying roommate when she said I was a stripper then watching her be removed for drug dealing in our room!

hi

@@miafeys hi

i need a goose plushie rn

waterloo ⁉️

3 of the unis i visited in sixth form were full of geese, actually scary

@@amyj4646 hahaha yes

did they have trackers on the geese??

longboi!

I graduated a few years ago and once literally had to change my entire route to my lecture because there was a goose on the middle of the bridge I wanted to cross (the little one by the new building with the plant wall)

have you seen longboi

KIERA OMG it’s Emily from choir/bio I can’t believe I found you in these comments!! 😂❤️

I’m so happy you’re a DnP fan as well we need to discuss this the next time I see you😂

I am really sorry :( No, uni years are only one part of your life (and yours were very Covid heavy). It will be so much different later! I do not know anybody who would complain about that :) Fingers crossed :)

This was amazingly comforting. I can’t wait till I get through uni

@@Vanda-il9ul omg, thank you ❤❤

i'm starting this year and i've felt so out of place feeling shit about everything, thanks for this comment such a comfort

Thank you🤍 I really needed that

i’m doing the same thing, when dan stopped uploading i kind of assumed phil did as well but now i get to watch a bunch of videos!! :D

@@BlurredInk I was so sad when Dan stopped so I’m so grateful that Phil is still going!

@@BlurredInk dan is uploading again soon he said !!

This comment is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen

The face he made after that was priceless 😆

same here, and I'm 24. I just automatically assume that people my age (18-30) aren't homophobic and so far I haven't made any experiences to the contrary

I'm in high school in Scotland and I get what you mean but I definitely wouldn't out myself if I wasn't sure of their vibes yknow

The difference is palpable! Imagine the fear and shame you'd feel being asked that in the past when people used the word gay to say something is bad, and now, for the most part, that fear and shame has turned to pride and joy. This is all thanks to queer activists. This is why we need LGBTQ pride!

I feel like the change happened pretty recently too, when I started high school same-sex marriage wasn't even legal in my country. I'm graduating this year and whilst yeah politicians still suck especially towards trans people, being LGBT has been way more normalised and accepted.

Agreed! At Uni of Brighton, you kind of assume everyone is accepting and/or queer. But then the city has a huge LGBT reputation so.

me too

I took two years off of university because my mental health tanked, then did a different online school for a year, and am now going to another different school on campus. this is like the 7th or 8th major I've declared across all three schools. everyone I knew has already graduated. but I've been through some pretty horrid stuff in the last several years, and if I hadn't prioritized my mental health things would have been even worse. I'm now happier than I've ever been and more confident in myself and the path I'm taking than I've ever been. it's okay to take time to sort yourself out. you deserve it, and whatever you end up doing, you'll be much more prepared for it. I believe in you all. ❤

@@starsaur6664 Not the person you replied to but that is really nice and reassuring so thank you! 💙

same lol

@@starsaur6664 thank you for that ❤️

That was what it was like for me as well but I hadn’t come out yet so I got embarrassed and it was super obvious. The girl later apologised but it really helped me with being okay with myself

Congrats!!

i had the same thing happen to me in 2017 when dan uploaded his "what not to do at uni" video, about a week before i started my first year :-) your comment reminded me of that, so nice that ur having the same experience!! hope u enjoy it!!

@@laura6874 Me tooooo exactly the same experience

congrats! good luck! all the good things!

I'm in my 4th year of uni and my number 1 piece of advice is: DON'T HAVE SEX WITH 4 PEOPLE ON YOUR COURSE!! 😆😆😆 Although saying that... I'm one month away from celebrating my 3rd anniversary with my boyfriend who I met on my course... so maybe have sex with someone on your course?? 😆

You'll survive! I've muddled my way to 28 somehow with a university degree so i'm sure you can too!

:) You will :) Nearly everybody feels like that, just they do not talk about it. Enjoy yourself. I took it too seriously and it was not good. Finished it, got the best out of uni but did not have as much fun as I should have. Good friends from uni are the best and you can share your professional life with them too ( and you can help each other too).

Honestly my first semester at uni was a complete mess and made me question if I'd made the right decision by going to uni. I graduate in a month and a half and I really don't want it to end. Tldr, it might take a bit of time but I'm sure you'll love it 😊

My first year in college was a mess. My first semester in particular! I totally failed the whole semester (literally failed my classes) because my mental health was a mess and I was terrified of the future and being an adult. Trust me you’ll be fine :) I’ve figured out how to make it to 27 with two college degrees. Im getting married this year and I still don’t feel like an adult! Don’t let adulthood scare you. We’re all just figuring it out as we go

I also failed my first semester bc of poor mental health (2020 being my final year in hs killed me ugh) but I've now returned after half a year off and I'm so much better for it. Tbh for me it was a blessing bc this year the teachers I disliked were oddly replaced by brilliant ones (like a miracle) and my cohort is way better too. Aside from it being odd that my initial friends are now in the year above, everything is heaps better bc I restarted my course with way more knowledge of what's required and also with some experience of being an adult. I've basically learnt that things will usually turn out for the best and so much good has come from what was so scary and horrible at the time (failing the first semester)

Casper literally got me through so many nights in Cyber 😂 the most hard working cat!

sister went to PSC, I was bombarded by pics a duo of "st James" cats (?) often before lockdown

Me too!!

damn, it’s almost as if I wrote this comment 😅 I feel you :(

congratulations on graduating (soon) though, also nice name, ptv is the best

Damn what country are you from?

@@liyre4189 Yeah I'm curious too!

Same T_T

Where is this!?

Omg monitor lizards?? That'd be so cool and scary my drunk ass would definitely get in trouble ...

I've never heard of that kind of lizard so I thought you were saying that the lizards are hall monitors

@@Sentientmatter8 Thailand!

@@prayingmantis8148 google them! They are majestic beasts 😁

I know how u feel lol I grew up in York I know all these streets so well

it’s so surreal definitely!! i’m a first year rn haha

I was thinking imagine if someone who is at that university recreated those iconic photos but I thought everyone there probably doesn't know him. I guess it is a small world after all!

@@prayingmantis8148 idk, in the first week I got there they had a presentation and had Phil on screen as one of the famous alumni. I remember being excited bc I went to Halifax and I’m doing the same coursez

@@jade3886 I remember the same. Started in 2017 and Phil was one of the one “famous alumni” names I recognised. I now know more but I definitely remember thinking how cool it was to be at the same uni as Phil and Mad Captain Tom Scott (who we kept trying to encourage to come back during YUSU elections)

Aw, I left last year and still miss the ducks! They were so friendly

Would also like to add, the legalise catboy merch will be worn around campus with pride

LMAO bless his heart

I feel like we need closure on how he became the goose king.

Oh that's cool! My sister went to Durham too and I actually went to her graduation recently

Are you 2009 Dan

This hurt 😭

@@rogueiver Yeah but cooler but also sadder bc I was studying something way easier than law
