It's definitely just a reflex of when you think someone you care about is "getting attacked", but yeah we should take care not to go TOO overboard with it.
I remember he tweeted he bought an airbed and not sleeping on the floor anymore. Little things like that made me so glad and happy for him 🥲 really looking forward to seeing his channel hit 1mil cuz this baby deserves the world
I can hear his voice shaking a bit and you know this part probably really means to him. He have went to a lot of things. I hope he finds happiness and his mom too. 🧡🧡
He's so quiet in this clip, it's strange seeing behind the model and knowing what came before. It takes strength to keep going, after going thru a lot in your life. I'm oddly proud of him.
As a college student, i do agree. Going to college and get a degree doesn’t guarantee you a high pay job, people struggle for years just to get a piece of paper (diploma) and still ended up in minimum wage job. This is reality tho, even myself is struggling but we got this qwq don’t give up guys 🧡
Especially if you live in America good luck with debt after your done. I dropped out this year. I do feel guilt all the time but I can’t afford it right now and will go back when I’m settled. College feels like a luxury to be honest.
exactly. i graduated quite a few months ago and it was hell to just get a internship (which is obligatory in my country) to get my degree, let alone find a good job, which i haven't until now.
although everyone is teasing Mysta that he is stupid and stuff, he is by far the wisest streamer I know. He's given a lot of advice and it really helped me quite a lot. That's why I love this baby boy
There is a difference between book smarts and street smarts. He might not be strong with book smarts but his level of street smarts is pretty amazing. If I had to choose between the two i’d honestly value street smarts over book smarts
He just telling the facts. Tbh life is hard nowadays to the point that you don't know what you gonna do for the next day u may wake up. Not all of us has a same personality and mindset when it comes to taking action in various events that happens in our everyday lives. Im happy to see him now in nijisanji having fun as one of the livers and also he gave a lot of entertainment in various area for nijisanji fans.
Man this is what i like a lot about him. He's usually cracking jokes and all the fun stuff but he also goes down on the more real stuff. I definitely didn't expect him to be this sincere when i first got into him and I really do like that genuineness of him. All the best for him and his mother, I'm glad he's here now with us.
honestly this is very much accurate. i saw my moms friends and their kids with really expensive degrees and stuff but they work a job w minimum wage barely keeping themselves together:< also seeing him opening up a bit more makes me feel happy and sad at the same time im just glad he feels better and happy now🧡🧡
honestly as a college student rn it really hurts to watch my parents pay for my college so that’s why i work and study to so i can keep scholarships and help since my parents are so determined to put me through college. dropping out is always an option and sometimes it’s one you just gotta take and there’s no shame in it
Even in countries where university is mostly "free" (as in, there is no scholarship you need to pay), and you get your diploma but not end up where you hoped you would. A friend of mine graduated as an engineer of chemistry but works as an assisstant maid at some backwater hotel abroad on minimum wage. Sometimes you're lucky if you even manage to get a job like that. And she went to an expensive private university whose main "bait" they advertise to new students is that they have a "high employment rate". It's a double-edged sword where a degree if you know the right people and have connections can mean a ton, but it can also in a lot of cases be a worthless piece of paper. It maybe gives you a higher chance of finding a good job (big accent on that "maybe", also depending on where you live because there are significant differences) but you can't rely on it too much. (though I'm in a similar type of situation as Mysta's older uni friends, I did 3 years of a course I now don't even want, will soon get a degree and after that, who knows. It really is easier said than done.).
I'm from a struggling family so I didn't have a chance to pursue my study in university eventhough I want it so much. So I start to work part time jobs starting when I was 16 and full time jobs when I was 18 until now.I managed to help my family financially and that is enough for me. Sometimes I do feel envious to see my friends talking about their university life. Now at 26 I have a secure job and have a stable life with experiences in various type of works while many of my friends, graduated but still yet to get a proper job. Even they have a hard time to work as a part timer since most places prefer their worker at the range 18-20 of age and need to have work experiences. And they still have debts to pay. Both have pros and cons and you need to schoose wisely, depends on the place you live rn.
It's true. Media field is true. It's hard to get a job specially if you don't have connections within the field. I finished Audio-Visual Communications. And It took me 2 years to get a job. I had to get connections and befriend people within to get me a slot
mysta thinking he's being a bad influence for speaking his truth makes me tear up bcwhat he said (about not necessarily getting a good job even with a degree) honestly needs to be said. it's much better to think through what you want to do in life and then find the most appropriate pathway for it instead of automatically going down the degree route. money can guarantee you that piece of paper (provided you pass) but that piece of paper won't guarantee you money. I'm glad he and his mum seem to be in a much better situation now.
i caught this live and it felt really intimate for him to tell us all about this stuff. i'm so glad he shared his story with us and also so proud of all his hard work throughout the years
Oh dear mysta 😭 he is not a bad influence because of his decision to drop out college... I have friends who dropped out too due to financial reason.. he is such a sweet boy for thinking his mom 🥺 im really thankful he got to nijisanji, i wish him and his mom all the best 🙏
All the comments here pretty much summed up what I think and honestly, not just Mama Rias, but we are proud of you too Mysta! You’ve come so far, and you deserve everything you’ve achieved and so much more. ❤️
He’s such a sweetheart, I can’t. I’ve been privileged enough to never know his struggle, but damn My heart really breaks for him. I’m really glad he’s happy and comfortable where he is, and I hope he always stays that way!
I relate to mysta so well. What I mean is, when mysta gets sad, he goes quiet/quieter. He doesn't want to talk much but at the same time needs to give an explanation for something. Near the end, he tries to cheer everyone up and make it seem like everything is not a big deal so that the mood isn't awkward. I love him so much 🥲.
To be fair, a ton of people choose to work over going to college since going to uni costs more than the job you can get after the degree. And youd have to wait for four years before you can earn unless you are working jobs while you study. The Asian mindset often values getting an education first before being a part of the workforce. I can understand how Mama Mysta's got mad since I believe she thought Mysta's education mattered over funds. Im very happy how Mysta decided to work. I know its not the best choice but he thought of his mother when he dropped out. He wanted to support her as she supported him. Glad theyre still good with each other.
The more I learn about Mysta the more I wish him happiness. Like my man has a tragic as hell backstory. Grew up poor, didn't really have friends. I'm just glad he's doing better, he's such a sweet dude.
My mom believes that if I finish college I would immediately get a job and become wealthy. I am currently in STEM, I have thoughts of pursuing Medical, Engineer or maybe, Criminology BUT the thing is, I only wanted to pursue them because they're high paying jobs not because I want to be one. I can't find any courses that I wanted to be passionate about and I have 1 more year before my Senior HS ends. The thought of going to college and only to drop out terrifies me since both of my parents worked hard to get me to where I am now. I struggle with focusing in school, I have memory problems and we can't afford to go to the doctors or get a medication so I am left with myself struggling everyday. I am terrified of what I'll be going to experience in college but I have no choice. I can't go against my parents as they both have expectations of me and I don't want to disappoint them
OMFG thats literally my mum too😭 like also my grandparents they want me to go into health related, aka med or nursing and do a master in a certain branch of nursing, engineering, or law. Except, i think they gave up on med engineer and law since my grades are like a mess LMFAO. But I feel like i've gaslighted myself to think that I want to be a nurse or a doctor because of TV shows which has very, very inaccurate depictions of these jobs and the pay, and my entire family is working really hard thinking that I can get a $100k job right out of university. I graduate high school at the end of this yr and have to choose the 5 preferences of courses for university (which i can already go choose rn) but idk what I want to do. I've always actually wanted to do content creating and streaming but I don't have the resources or time to start right now since the last year of high school here is literally the worst. I can do a bit of art and post on social media platforms but i feel like if some literal miracle happens and i can actually live off of content creation, I'm going to worry about university and if I really want to continue and waste the money since I might decide to do something like RU-vid. idk I also don't want to disappoint my family and I think they also have the expectation of me taking care of them later on in life as well and i need to think if what I want to do will be able to grant me that ability when I'm older… But I hope you will find something you love tho! And even if you decide to go into one of these subjects, hopefully you'll find some joy in them. I'm going to go contemplate about life and have an existential crisis lmao
This must have been so hard for him to talk about, but I really appreciate the vulnerability he showed in this clip. I have been through similar circumstances. So it was comforting to listen to, although I wouldn't wish these circumstances on anyone. I hope that makes sense. I want to thank him, it made me feel... Less alone? When it comes to this topic 😌 I'm sure things will only go up from here for him!
Good on Mysta; it can be hard to even talk about experiences like that but I think he shared it in an honest & kind way. It's important we talk about these things though since we can learn from each other's experiences.
I can relate to what he’s saying. I wanted to go to college soooo badly and had to drop out my first year too because my dad had just passed and I really couldn’t go because of personal reasons. It really crushed me. Life throws curve balls at you sometimes but you can always find your way through it in the end.
with all those experiance he became such a wonderfull man with a good personality. having such positive manners after went thru those hardship is soooo hard to do. he's amazing not only as a streamer, even as a human, and a son.
Mysta is a really kind-hearted person and it’s really nice seeing him happy and being proud of where he is now. I’m sure we joke around and go down bad for him but I’m pretty sure we all felt like parents seeing their son successfully achieving many good things in life
I can really empathize with Mysta and his situation. My mom, two younger siblings and I were homeless when I was trying to go to college. I was not an extremely sharp person and the stress of the situation greatly affected my grades. I ended having to drop out due to poor grades. Luckily we had just gotten a place and I was quickly able to get a job do to having an actual address to put on the paperwork.
Cleaning People's places that's what I do too, while attending to Collage and helping my mom to pay bills also I'm glad Mysta is opening this kind of topics and sharing his experience.
Whatever his reason is to stop his studies willingly, its always valid. College takes time, effort and money and won’t always pay back up in a good salary when you get out. I deeply respect him trying to “not be a bad influence” but his decision was the correct one in his situation, luckily he’s here now and is able to support himself and his mom, that’s the ultimate goal.
@@notesbynor from what I understood, it's equivalent to the US's highschool junior and senior year, but more specialized to prepare them for university which is their tertiary education
honestly dropping out sounds so tempting sometimes, but as someone who was raised to believe that education is EVERYTHING and that i will get nowhere in life without it, i don't think i'll ever actually do it. i'm only in my first semester of college (it should've been my second but that's another story) and i've been struggling. the schoolwork itself isn't too hard but my mental health has been pretty bad for a while now. i don't know what i want to do with my life, i'm failing half of my classes and honestly, i want a job because I hate making my mom pay for my classes only for me to not even do well in them. but i'm not even sure if i'd be able to handle school and work at the same time at my current state. i dunno. listening to mysta be honest about this stuff and reading everyone's comments is comforting in a way.
next school year I'll be in college, and to be honest, mysta's financial situation when he was on college and the reason why i wanted to just work after high school is just the same and like the others as well.. i dont want my parents to waste their money on college when i can just study in on my own (I'm an art student BTW) with the mindset of, if i didn't finish college amd get a degree i will not be successful, they're mad when i told them that and generally speaking if you got a degree or not, it's still hard to look for a good job and earn money from it (in my country at least), you always need to find ways to be in the better position in job and in life Our teachers will always tell us that school/university life is very far away and a completely different experience when you start working and trying to earn money, sometimes you are forced to learn everything in a hard way. they will always call it "reality" i also don't blame that much that superchat because we all have different views in life, it's just some people just have to know and understand others and be respectful about it
I dropped out my first year of college too. I was doing 2 year certification for animation. I was just so done with school and I wasn't eligible for FAFSA money anyway. Big mistake to go to college straight away after barely graduating high school. I despised those four long years and adding another two felt miserable. I ended up burning out on art and just dropped it entirely. I haven't drawn or done art in like three years now. Idk if I'll draw again tbh. Just kinda ended up like a depressed couch potato. Just kinda been aimless the entire time since dropping out. I picked up gardening recently and it's nice but still no career and gonna be turning 21 soon. Life be like that I suppose
I’m really wishing you all the best. I guess I don’t really know what to say but I really wish I could say something to help, because life is so fucking hard sometimes and, idk, it’s such a shame. So yeah, please don’t give up, maybe try new things idk. Wishing you to do stuff you like
there’s no way anyone can hate him. mysta can be a chaotic person sometimes but it doesn’t change how he’s so open, honest, and unfiltered with us. there are many things that he obviously wants to keep private but the fact he trusted us enough to tell us this makes me so happy. it’s really the little things that turn out to be the biggest. we love you mysta 🧡🧡🧡
I have so much respect for this man. Despite all the crazy and funny things he always does, he's a really wonderful human being and deserves the whole world. 🥺 Lots of Love for Mysta 🧡🧡
Mysta's content and tweets are usually sus, but sometimes you get a glimpse of how he might have lived before when he tweets about buying a dish washer or a mattress. Kind of sad, but at the same time, it's really nice to see that he can manage himself, now.
Mysta's calm voice made me sleepy. I was going in and out of sleep during this stream and I wasn't awake for this part. I'm glad I stumbled upon this clip. Mysta truly deserves to be where he is now and he shouldn't be guilty about spending his money for himself. 🥺 This is why a lot of immigrant families and Asian families pressure their children into medicine, engineering, or law. There's really no assurance of the future, even if you've been to college, but the aforementioned programs feel secure enough. Like, at least you're guaranteed somewhere with these jobs because they come with a prestige and they're usually in demand anyway. As a college student who's going through a lot of mental turmoil rn, I feel very tempted to drop out and just get a job. I keep second guessing and thinking that maybe college isn't for me, despite being a former good enough student before this whole pandemic. I'm trying to hang on for my parents, though, and I hope anyone who feels the same finds a better situation soon.
This reminds me of how my plan for sure is to do community college at least cause free education haha, but definitely, connections and skills are more important than a diploma.
I actually relate to the moving. My parents had enough money to support the necessities and extra, but we kept moving because my dad always said that there's a better place we could live in everytime we moved. I remember just trying to go through the motions every school year because I know we would move a year from when we first landed in our new apartment. In school, the teachers were easier to talk to because of the stuff I was studying, but I didn't have enough time or just got discouraged to make new friends every year. It felt like I could only talk to adults or my own family, my classmates only felt like coworkers. We eventually stopped moving but it was for a sad reason..
I can relate to this and to what Mysta said regarding friends too. I moved a lot as a kid too and I remember thinking if I should even bother making friends because I didn't know if I was moving again.
Mysta speaks the absolute truth about the working life situation right now. I have a degree in biomedical yet still end up working as a governmental clerk. And I'm fine with it because of the benefits and stability that come with it but yeah, I don’t think I wasted my degree. Maybe one day I'll have a better chance of getting a job that's within my field of studies. Just remember guys, whatever you do, don't give in and always give it your best shot.
I finished my studies and now have a 20 years debt because I couldn't afford university. If I could go back in time I would totally choose another path for my life. He's 100% right and he's not being a bad influence, a degree doesn't mean we'll have a good life and if you see your family suffer because of a degree there's always more ways to live your life. So proud of him
I am really proud of Mysta for what he has done. As a college student myself with parents struggling with money, it is difficult to study and see your parents having a hard time. I decided to have an indefinite leave because I was not performing as I used to before the pandemic. Although I have a free tuition, I still have allowance and I don't want them to waste it on me but I am not able to give my all. It is quite difficult also because my brother is also in college and he have to pay for tuition. I now that I am gonna be delayed, but I hope that I can work on myself this break and perform better for myself and my family. Mysta is working now on a field related to creative media and he is definitely good at it. Goodluck, Mysta, I hope for your continuous growth and happiness.
Well, I knew I was going to cry at the first few minutes and still watched. I also wanted to pursue arts but dropped out for the same reason. Yes, a degree doesn't guarantee a high pay job but do pursue what your heart wants and the dream you've always wanted. Take a breather and rest but never give up!
I'd hate seeing my parents struggling too, I can understand why Mysta dropped out from his college. Sometimes people go to college for the sake going to college and earn degree, not learning. People already got the wrong ideas, degree will matter for you to apply better job. Doesn't mean you'll get one though
6:43 I think he says "ganbe" or "ganbare". Thanks so much for this, it's very inspiring to hear of how people we look up to got through hard things in life
Well, I would like to say that going to college isn't always about getting a job. Sometimes people would like to learn or specify in a field or two or gain an ability. As long as you can afford it, then surely go for it! College is a part of these unique experiences in life. Learning under guidance saves a lot of time and effort and lastly, I would like to say that money invested in learning is never a waste. Mysta has his reasons for dropping out but that doesn't mean that dropping out is always the best option.
Oh my I love Mysta's goodluck in the ending, I want to cry right now. I literally played this video because I feel like I am havng a panic attack because I am alone in my entire dorm building in a very wide room reviewing for my upcoming exams.
You know it just reminds me about that clip where mysta state that mika is his friend. Like, he finally have a friend he can openly and freely talk to but someone might be disturb their relationship (e.g choose to not do collab stream that much anymore and that become a rare moment) Can that person just accept that we can have a/more friends with different gender? I always in a group of mix gender it isn't uncommon. Sometimes, I feel more comfortable talk to the boys than the girls or vice versa. You need to expand your point of view and you can achieve it by interacting with a lot of types of people
i'm a college student who's taking the same course he took and yea, its hard to stay since there's no clear future to it or anything and i'm not good enough for it. that is why i'm so happy and proud for mysta
This is real life. Most of the time people often forget about "Luck". Not all things can be achieved through hardwork. It's easy to judge someone when you are just observing from afar
I feel the fact that Mysta is this open about his past and experience and everything is so encouraging, it can be something inspiring for those who also dropped out and worry about their future... idk if it's ok to say this but the more Mysta opens up about himself I just love him a little bit more 🥺 Thank you for clipping this! and I'm soo proud of you Mysta, you are the little light of joy
I've just seen this now nd I feel like mysta is the most transparent liver I've ever supported nd watched cuz I don't feel like anyone else would've shared this much and also the fact that he's also open bout having different offline and online personalities is so nice cuz that lessens the high expectation of people which is why I think he's a highly genuine and transparent person ❤️
Nijisanji means the world to him and he loves his friends and luxiem family with his whole heart he even teared up when talking about just being able to talk to them like he is such a pure sweetheart who has struggled so hard for so long while feeling so alone and I want him to know how much we appreciate him and the kind hearted person he is. Lots of kids wouldn't give up going to college for a subject they enjoy to help their mom with bills. A lot of kids would be selfish about it. He saw her struggling and appreciated her for persevering and he learned how to persevere too I am so proud of him. I know the feeling of getting a mattress after years of not having one. My aunt gave me her son's mattress after he left for college... I cried... it's easy for a kid who lives in a nice house and has never had to worry about when they get to eat next and still believes in the college scam to say that. They'll learn once they're in crippling debt and jobless and back home with their parents working minimum wage making barely enough for gas or food... of course I'm sure their mom will be cooking for them and driving them to work... Spoiled...
No because this is too relatable for me. I have a filipino mother who also has the mindset of making me mind my own business while she minds about the whole family's business (bills and things) and it really just hurts to see them "suffer" while they try to make me study 😭😭 im glad that his life is more better now tho, may his happiness last forever
Mama Rias is so much like my mom. There were so many times across my lfe that I've heard something like 'I don't know how I'm going to get the money for your tuition' or 'I'm not sure if we can pay it on time' but she's always managed it. I've said that I could look for a part time job jokingly and she'd always told me not to and to just focus on studying, to do well in school. I'm so grateful for my mom that I could continue my studies and get into university. I've also just finished my first year. I'm glad he did end up doing well.
One of many reasons why Mysta Rias has become one of my personal favorite vtubers, not only is he entertaining but this part of him says a lot of his character
This is like 5 months after this was uploaded but in one of his recent streams a while ago he mentions that when he's streaming he has to continuously smile to keep his model like that if he doesn't it just looks like he's frowning, so it kind of hurt to see him like this whiles still smiling. We love you Mysta🧡
He's not lying. There are factors that contributes to it. Going to universities, getting your diplomas/degrees won't necessarily help you in getting a high paying job but they definitely do boost your portfolio in getting a job. This is from my father's experience. He didn't complete his studies in his Engineering degree. Because it wasn't his field of interest. After marrying my mom and even after having me and my little sister, he struggled to find a job in general. I moved 5 times in my life. It's not much like Mysta, but as kid who jumped schools? It's difficult. Time skip a few years, he finally found a job that's worthwhile and after 10 years of working in the same company -- he finally found a good paying job from a different company. He tried and made sure that my sister and I would graduate with a degree. But from my experience -- having a degree isn't a be all and end all. Even for degrees, you can consider it quite niche if you look at it from a different perspective. Not every degree is going to land you a job. Not only that, not every degree is going to be your actual interest. It's not fun to graduate only for you to burden a heavy load of debt. I can keep going on, but it's RU-vid comments. So it goes both ways. Not everyone is the same, in reality.
Holy shit, I did not expect Mysta, of all people, to get so deep. Poor Mysta, I just want to hug him and tell him it'll be okay. That's some real rough shit.
I have several friends who completed college and even got master's degrees, and I saw them struggling to get jobs to pay off their debt. Having a degree isn't a 100 percent job security.
i'm really, really glad mysta is where he is now. i'm really proud of him. and i know this was from a few months ago, but i wasn't keeping up with the vtuber community at all lately, so this is new for me. i just wanted to add that, realistically, what mysta said is true. you spend thousands, hundreds, for a piece of paper just to get a job you're going to hate down the line. and life is really, really hard right now. the minimum wage where i live isn't even enough. i dropped out of college in my 3rd year (i was taking digital arts then), and worked for a company. i absolutely hated it, because no matter how hard i worked, it would never be enough to sustain my brother, my parents, and my grandmother. life is really, really hard, and i don't think people should be forced to, y'know, get a degree or continue down that road if they feel like it isn't the right thing. you know yourself best, after all.
