This comment may have been 7 years ago but think of it like this. . . you don't get any (or much) choice of the high school that you attend nor the kinds of fellow students that you are forced to go to school with. You are limited to making friends out of a limited group of people but in the real world, you would probably be just acquaintances with these people. So it's understandable that most of your high school friends will gravitate away from you and out of your life after high school.
@@holiday197 Interests change, I don't hang out with any of the dudes from my high school. They all have my number and they never call or text me and vice versa. It just happens and I know there exists people who are depressed because high school came and went and now they have no friends and can't move on from their high school days. I also know some college graduates who have post graduate depression. It's pretty similar to the people who are depressed about high school. So just have fun in life and strive for what you want in life that will benefit you. At the end of the day, it's all about you.
don't worry bro try and move on, but if you ever see your crush again just remember you really don't have a whole lot to lose even if you look like an idiot I'm pretty sure your crush will see that your shy and hopefully she accepts the first impression
don't sweat it, I am waaaay older than you and I wrote my crush a letter and slipped it in her yearbook with my phone number...sat by that phone the whole night and it never rang...and we graduated and I never followed up on the letter and we just ignored each other till after we graduated, I saw her once passing by in a car ( going opposite ways) she stared at me, I stared at her and we never saw each other again.
LOL I actually confessed to my crush on the last day of high school and we ended up registered under the same university, on the same course, and the same class for a year. YEAH. But it's okay because I finally found out how much of a jerk and selfish he is. So, thank you, God!
I graduate in a month and 5 days. Wish me luck. This video has helped with my depression. To be honest I didn't know where to start. This video just came me a confidence booster.
my dad always told me two things for life. One was a mentality and one was a rule of thumb. First, spend after you save, dont save after you spend. Second, straight after payday, put 20% in the bank immediately
Let's not be naive here for a moment. These days, just because you have graduated with a diploma or whatever in college doesn't mean you are guaranteed to have a successful job afterwards. You may pass with flying colors and be academically smart but not real world/street smart... because those are one of the best teachers in life; experiences. Explore more talents or hobbies that will help you throughout in life. And learn to depend on yourself always. Because there are some people (you may or not know personally) that you think that could help you but really not. If you want something done right, better do it yourself.
My previous college fucked me over, hard and badly. Just because of one tiny mistake/misunderstanding. At that moment, I knew they fucked me up and not me. At first they wanna see you succeed then gain your trust then when you want even just a little bit of help from them, they will lowkey bring you down. These are the things I learned from my first college for 2 1/2 years.
I don't wanna bring religion into this but I feel like it's got something to do with what has happened to me in those years. In my 2+ years experience in college, even though God was one of the few people(?) I seek help/answers to, he nothing happened/ I know it doesn't happen in a snap but I was patiently waiting for a sign and he gave me nothing. That's when I realize I wasted some of my precious time praying and attending masses and nothing. Starting that day, I didn't believe in religion or any of those non-sense. They were just things society wants us to believe in but I learned my lesson and I am no longer fooled by "God". I consider myself as a person with no religion, but not an atheist (I don't wanna self-proclaim).
Basically you are saying to live in the present, know how your past made you who you are today, and look forward to a brighter future. We all make mistakes since we're not perfect. But as long as we work hard we can make it through life. A wise man learns from others mistakes.
Things change in college because college isn't about being smart it's about being intelligent and forming your own complex theories instead of just understanding someone's else's.
Advice Dont get much worst than this. "Yea, after your graduate, go join Military"? something that will give you no room to discover your passion? maybe you will, but its a forced environment where you are committed to for an X amount of years. Leave with biased sense of Us vs them mentality and almost guarantee to give you PTSD that will cause a burden on everyone else in your life. Not to mention the actual dangers of being in military. Fighting for a cause thats not clear to people in the military. Military breaks it all down to objectives, and uses authority figures to keep you from questioning. When things become little objectives/missions, its hard to know whats going on in the big picture. If military is your thing, do it, but i would suggest thinking long and hard before committing.
Alex Nomichit There's a lot more than just combat. We have doctors, drivers, pilots, engineers, mechanics, police & logistics. Just to name a few. And yes, as an E1, you don't get paid much. Your pay is based on a number of different things.
The biggest tip I have is to learn how to pay your bills!!! My older brother still doesn't know how, he's 24 living at home, with a wife and kid. He had his own place, but they got kicked out cause they didn't pay rent! Don't be like my brother.
I'm so scared for collage. At the end when he said he's seen kids who just barely graduated high school work hard and do awesome in college made me cry.
The only thing I miss about high school besides my friends is the cafeteria food. My cafeteria food was the bOMB. I'm talking fresh bubble teas, Chee Cheong Fan, Char Kuey Teow, burgers, tons of snacks, dim sum and friggin chinese cakes. Damn.
That video will have to include: 1. Making friends with total strangers 2. Working your ass off some more, but with more street smarts than book smarts
INTERNSHIP! INTERNSHIP! INTERNSHIP! Remember that word when you are a junior at the latest and then get one! Maintain at least a B average. Do these two things and you are gravy (with a little hard work of course).
I love your vids on school stuff. It's not always super cookie-cutter advice like when I asked a few of my older friends. (Like, that thing about rommates eating my Greek Yogurt? AW HELLL NAW) Thanks for the advice, I like these just as much as your old Foodie vids. :)
for me: 1. success isn't in your 20s. always make o̶l̶d̶ new mistakes and learn from them. 2. be the most presentable you (have your technical skills / soft skills) before entering the career world and be as prepared with knowledge before finishing college 3. read more (reddit, medium). 4. get a linkedin when you reach jr year of college. get jobs / experiences early. buzz words like "passion" or "try my best" are hard to measure. results are what managers care about now. 5. be comfortable talking. the fungbros are confident as fuck and get to the point. you can be mr. smarts and have so much experience, but if you cant articulate what you've done or your ideas, it's fruitless and you wont get the career. do number 2 / 3 ... just do stuff, get yourself out, etc. to be comfortable talking. 6. doesnt matter where you go for school... you are in charge of making the experience count. join a frat, club, get involved, etc. 7. fucking travel. you have no responsibilities. spend less and save (exactly what the fungbros said) on material things and build great ass experiences / memories.
@4:55 I can attest to this. I had a 1.7 Unweighted GPA when I graduated High school (I know), but now I have a 3.83 GPA and will begin the transfer process into a more competitive college next semester 👍
In life you have to go after the things you want, I want to graduate early. I'm in gr11, I'll be graduating early 😎 all because I went after what I wanted. Hopefully the rest of my life will pan out this way...
Im graduating high school and im so terrified to be thrown into the real world. I see all these older people around who around have their lives set in stone for the rest of their time, but i literally so scared cause i dont even know what i want to do in life. Like i've never had a job and everything I owned came from a set supplier already (my parents ;p) so i didnt really need to worry about where i would sleep or where i would eat. But since im going off to college next year im going to have to get all those things by myself and i so scared and terrified of that thought. Man i really dont want to graduate but shit i guess I have no choice.
Middle school is 3 years in the US an extra year of high school wont account for that. I never claimed to now anything about your foreign education so don't try to say something like that about ours..
Im just gonna go travel the world when i grad next year. Is that a bad idea? What if i dont want to work the "9 to 5"? People keep talking about the real word but im sure there are ways around it.
Graduating soon, but looking for a part time job atm. I'm thinking about doing business, or photography/art. Probably going to a community college for 2 years then transferring to a college for the last 2 years
High school was 90-95% a waste of time. I wish I could have jumped from 10th grade to college, but that probably would have required home schooling and my parents weren't "readers."
It's not as scary as you think it is. I remember being a middle schooler, I was petrified of high school. Got there, and I was comfortable by the second day (not exaggerating). Only major tip: AP (college level) classes are not hard, assuming you're an honors student. Take them!
I just graduated highschool and I just turned 18 as well. I didn't start college yet but I'm starting soon if not now then in January and its freaking me out cause I don't know what to major in. I'll figure it out but it already seems like I'm a failure smh there's so much pressure at this point in life
+Corymadeit Don't give up! You'll be surprised to find that 3/5 people changed their majors at least 3 times during college. I changed my major from Elementary Education to Computer Science and then to Journalism. But now Im back at Elementary Education. Gonna graduate this May to become a teacher! Super excited. You have time to figure this whole thing out. But remember to declare your REAL major in your Junior Year. That way you won't be held back. But staying a year behind is okay if financial is not your problem. Good luck kiddo!
+Corymadeit Give your major some thought because there's a lot of worthless degrees. I'd say STEM, Economy, and teaching are the best degrees to go for.
In high school I used to be sooo self conscious about how I look and what people may think of me but now in college I don't give a fly fuck and do my own thing
