What High School is REALLY Like 

I remember being an edgy kid and writing “I hate life” on a table. I came back the next day and there was another person’s handwriting saying, “it gets better!” It was so wholesome

So, I just found my senior quote: *My wig: in the rafters*

Advice for college: • Don’t be scared to switch your major to something you’re more interested in • Figure out the how you study best (groups, flash cards, lots of example problems, reading the book) • Have a set time for homework/studying and turn your phone off during it • Take advantage of every free thing they give away because your paying for it • If you’re struggling in a class, go to your professor’s office hours or go to the tutoring center • Workloads for classes peak at the same time (at my school at least), so know how to manage your time when it peaks

Honestly, I’d carry my baby if I had one at my graduation. Imagine birthing a child and raising them while still in highschool and you graduate. That’s an achievement

how to not get bullied in high school step one: be the bully step two: don’t wear red eyeshadow

*oh god i forgot my baby’s in my graduation cap*

There was a time I was having a mental breakdown in class, I was a senior and I overheard a freshman comment saying that I was "too old to cry". Don't let people tell you that, there is nothing wrong with letting out emotions, people go through things and it's natural to let it out. It's also healthier to let it out rather than bottling it up and throwing it away. My advice tip for mental health with stable grades is to just seek help, nothing wrong with admitting that. Your mental stability matter much more than grades. :)

We had a few incidents that could be considered "the incident" at my high school. 1. One kid drowned in the school pool which resulted in a massive lawsuit 2. A state representative visited the school Republican Club, said an "inappropriate" comment, which made national news 3. 3 kids OD'd in the middle of class on cold medicine and had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance 4. Another kid died in front of the school was hit by a car after dark during a game of chicken and died

"What is that? The Kylie Jenner christmas collection?" is the best quote I have ever seen omg

"Oh, darn. I forgot my baby was on there." *[Goose noises]*

I know this is a year-old video, but I figured this could still be good advice for anyone going through the comments. My brother graduated college a bit ago. I once asked how he managed it all (only 20% of his class actually graduated; it's a tough school). He told me that this one wallpaper he kept on his computer throughout all of college kept him from dropping out multiple times. It was from a show he loved; it had a simple quote: “The moment you think of giving up, think of the reason you held on so long.” *To anyone going to college soon (or is already in college), if you think it’ll help, you should get your own piece of motivation; something you can look at when you’re questioning whether you can get through this or not.* It seemed to help my brother a lot when he needed it, so I figured it might be useful to at least 1 person.

FunFact! The whole *’My spoon is too big!’* is actually a line from the film ‘Rejected’ by Don Hertzefeld released in 2002. Considering your school probably took place in the early 2000s it makes sense why your teacher was obseesed with taht one piece of dialogue. _(For those of you wondering, Rejected was like the early 2000s version of ASDF Movie)_

"Middle school is hard because you're dramatic" And that's the tea sis

At my sister's high school only one girl got pregnant but I think the fact that *she went into labor during class and had to be taken away in an ambulance kind of compensates for it.*

The way Kelsey’s art evolved in a year is super cool

“It’s not hard to find your classes.” Our high school being a literal maze: uh-👉👉 righhtttt….

When koen said : ⬆️🎓👶🏻 I felt that man

“Boys bathrooms are disgusting” As a boy, I can say, A M E N

My favorite memory from school was these popular boys were, like, “players” i guess. they would switch what their cush was every week, so me and my friends started joking around like, “oops guys, forgot to change my crush for today” or “guys, I’m sorry, i’ve had a crush on a girl for two days” and we’d all crack up and laugh until the bell rang for 6th period.

literally y'all people just start sobbing in class and people don't even care lmao maybe they'll be like "u good bro?" but that's it

"Junior year is the hardest year" * chuckles * *I'm in danger*

“Oh Darn, I forgot my baby is up there!” Never thought I’d hear that sentence...

6:47 IM LIVING FOR THIS COCO REFERENCE AAAHSHDJDJS

i swear this is my comfort video for some reason

3:20 I really thought he said “bake” instead of “vape-“ I just imagined him in the back of the bus with the blanket on his lap with an easy bake oven-

*IF I BURTHED A CHILD OUT OF MY BODY* The funniest line ever

For me Highschool was an experience. When I was in six grade I was bullied everyday I was beaten up and they even broke some of my things including my glasses. I was happy when I finally went to high school since I changed school. 7th grade was my greatest year in high school I became a straight A student and I met people that ultimately became my friends discover my love of books but everything just went down after that year. Memories from me being bullied suddenly resurfaced affecting my studies and my life also my life at home didn't help me at all. My dad tried to Migrate our family to New Zealand but that didn't work so my dad went back home with no job and in a massive debt. That affected him and my mom they became much more violent since then. I'm now in 12th grade. My final year before I go to college. If you talk to me when I was in 7th grade I'll most likely want to be your friend and talk about anything but now after so many anxiety attacks, being bullied, and being treated like crap. I'll be the same as what I was in 7th grade but it's just a facade that I put now just so nobody can see the real me, hurt and broken.

“Kelseys literally staring out the window what do you mean?” Kelsey: (◐-◑)

“Junior year is the hardest year” Me a junior: A M E N

I swear to God if I hear Freshmen saying: "PERIODT", "SKSKSKS", "Anna oop", That's the tea sis", Imma drop out

I remember watching this before starting high school. Now I'm in summer school preparing for junior year. This gave me some solid advice.

I got lucky on my junior year because halfway through the pandemic came in and my teachers were pretty disorganized at the time with classes. It's impressive how much stuff I got off the hook from. However this just made my senior year the most excruciating. And the fact that it was full virtual made it the more painful, although I will say I did find and take advantage of some faults and loopholes in the system (they fixed it in the end tho, that wasn't fun)

Kelsey’s bathroom story about the girl crying is the definition of anxiety

COLLEGE TIPS: DO NOT GET DORMS PEOPLE ARE LOUD AND RUDE AND ANNOYING NO CLASSES BEFORE 11 AM ONLY BRING NECESSITIES DO YOUR ASSIGNMENTS ON TIME

My Senior Quote: "So let me tell you how babies are made..."

Kelsey: Oh wow I like this red eyeshadow Koen: **I DISAGREE**

"junior year is the hardest year" juniors watching: *laughs* i'm in danger

Elementary: u have to behave because they won't deal with u in middle school Middle school: u need to manage all this urself because they won't in highschool Highschool: u need to own up to what u didn't do because they won't take ur excuses in college College: "hey my car broke down" prof: "no problem I'll send u the class work, speak to ur classmates for help as well"

4:14 at this exact moment I got one of thoose “if you vape nicotine” ads and I cackled so hard when I saw it-

I know I'm SUPER late to this video, but as a highschool sophomore, the part about people being way nicer than you think is so SO true! While it's true some people are asses, the overwhelming majority of them are eager to help where they can. Just this Friday a girl approached me and said she sends out links to study guides that she PERSONALLY DESIGNS (since we have a test every week in that particular class) and all I needed to do was ask for it. I'm not saying you should expect overwhelming kindness all the time, just don't be so nervous to ask for help if you're just going into highschool.

“What is that the Kylie Jenner christmas collection?” “i guess?” Lmaoo

in 4th grade a kid got in trouble for bringing a kitchen knife to school for "self defense". FOURTH. GRADE.

When I first watched this is was in 8th grade, I'm a junior now, this video never gets old

I just officially graduated from HS yesterday, and I’d really like to share some of my experiences in high school. 1. My grad class (800+ students) were freshmen when the pandemic hit. Halfway into our freshman year, we were being told that our year pretty much ended. Our entire sophomore year was spent doing distance learning. While most people struggled during this time, I actually loved doing school online because I got to sleep in, eat whenever I liked, wear whatever I wanted, and I never had an issue with learning through a screen. I forgot how much it sucked to be around people when my Junior year came around. 2. I guess the pandemic had an impact on my class’ emotional maturity. We spent our underclassmen years by ourselves, and most didn’t grow mentally. Juniors acted like freshmen, and seniors acted like sophomores. In fact, my class were the ones starting the most bloody fights in school as seniors, when normally it was the freshmen who gave the most problems. 3. Speaking more about fights, my school had so many altercations that Instagram pages were made specifically for the fights that happened. In the cafeteria, in the bathrooms, outside, everywhere, and one got so bloody that one kid got his piercings ripped out, and blood gushed down his face and onto the floor as the two boys duked it out… over a girl 🤦 I have a lot more stories, which I’ll add to my comment chain over time.

2:55 *Oh darn I forgot my baby’s on there* I diedddd😂😂😂😂😂😂💀🤦🏽‍♀️😂

This video is a bit late for me, I’m a 10th grader in high school now

tbh i had a friend group but by the time we got to high school we had different classes and they did no effort to stay friends. especially when a "tragedy" hit and i was clearly depressed as they saw and they just didn't seem to care anymore. i feel like they ditched me. and we were incredibly good friends. like family as kids but i guess we were not real friends after all. sad but true.

I love coming back to this video, it came out when I first started high school and now I’m in college. I think it definitely described a very specific time that’s sort of gone because the landscape of the internet changed so drastically from 2018-19 to 2020 and the pandemic shifted so much. 2019 is such a different time than 2023, I really wonder what high school is like now.

no one: Koen : _Kylie Jenner Christmas collection_

Everyone is talking about the baby and the graduation cap, but *mAh spUUn iS toO bIg*

“Oh darn I forgot my babies on there” Such a great sentence.

It’s so strange because this video came out the year I was going to be a freshman. Now I’m gonna be a senior in the Fall. Thank you Kelsey for getting me through High School!

I love the way she censors her cursing.

Man, Gen Z high school is just a mixture of depression, stress, Snapchat, memes, fear that the world will inevitably end before you are able to have a life, gayness and vaping

I remember sitting in my 9th grade wellness class, where my teacher, who was extremely weird, told us he was cleaning out one of our bathrooms on campus, and found 6 pregnancy tests. He didn’t tell us the results, he just dropped that bomb and moved on

The fact that I’ve watched this video at least 4 different times in the past few years I always find it again 😆 I love this video so much so anyways have a good life ✌️

"Junior year was the hardest year" me, a sophomore:.....well sh!t

Incident: Happened Child: Birthed Bathrooms: Gross Delinquents: Vaping Kelsey’s grades: Assumed Hotel Trivago

Me going into high school being an anti social introvert: *[Chuckles] I’m in danger* 😃

I’ve already survived one year in high school but I decided to rewatch this video because covid was happening so I only stayed in one classroom pretty much the entire year. We only spent on month at home.

The seniors dating freshman bit is weird because like an 18 year old is dating a 14 year old. Also I agree with them not finding someone their age.

Damn my mom carried me across the stage but she was accepting her masters

Whenever I hear "What was 'The Incident' at your school" I think about the time some kids managed to get into the bottom of the elevator shaft and the elevator almost crushed them.

When i saw this in my recommended i thought the title was “ what kelsey animated is really like “ and i was thinking oh god no shes getting cancelled too

College tip. whatever classes you can take at community colleges, do so. You will save money and won't have to deal with the crippling anxiety of student debt. Also stay with parents if you can.

I legit started high school and 3 days in we’ve already had one arrest, one fight and a food fight. Each on their respective days. I have hopes for Monday.

12:36 i just love how he said “hold on” because she kept talking😊😂

i remember watching this over and over in 8th grade and now i’m in my final stretch of senior year and i came back for nostalgia, good memories!

"The incident" at my school was a kid slipping a knife pass the metal detectors to use in a gang fight... It did not end well Kinda happy I graduated from that hell hole

*Don't make out in the* *DIGGITY DARN* *hallway*

I love the way he said "yeah it just through it self in the garbage" and them thw pic at that part just OMG 😲😍it made me smile

Started in-person high school today. Everyone feels oddly social...

5:01 is that garfield in a bikini? *damn no wonder you were teacher's assistant the following year*

“Junior year is the hardest year” Me, a junior: F r i c k

Rewatching this video when im in highschool is very interesting

coen-... coen? Cohen? ... anyway- the dudes rant on babies at graduation, specifically like carrying his baby on the stage, and the commentary paired with the drawings is enough to make a grown man cry (in a good way)

Me: “yeah I think I’m a nice person” My friends: *LAUGHING THEIR ASSES OFF*

My 3 moods in school: • CRY • PANIC • MURDER

"Junior year is the hardest year" Me, whos gonna be a junior in 3 days: haha, im in danger

It’s crazy when i first saw this i was just starting highschool and now im graduating this year 😭

I like the way this feels like a real conversation , that’s not scripted

I laughed waaaaayyyyyy too hard when your friend said he'd throw the baby in the air on his graduation cap.

High school was easier for me than middle school. College is significantly less stressful, but I do miss people.

i remember when this video came out. this shit was the funniest thing i ever watched

“I just throw my graduation cap and throw the infant along with it.”

Teacher: Look at Kelsey, she's looking at it from away Koen:...shes literally looking out the window!!!

Watched this in middle skl now I am in hs

"WIG,IN THE RAFTERS!" hahahahahahah!!!!!! xD

College tip: *DON'T TAKE 8AM CLASSES.* You've might've had class start then when you were younger, but *now is different.*

Y’all should make a podcast, I would listen to it *r e l i g i o u s l y*

Tape that baby to the graduation cap BOI 😂

I go to a school that is so small, my class for 9th grade this year is only supposed to be 4 people including me. My 8th grade year was probably the hardest year I've ever been through, and I was super stressed for 9th grade because I felt like it was going to be even harder, but this video helped me to calm down a bit. So thanks :)

“My spoon is too big” is a reference to a 2001 animated short film that won plenty of awards called “rejected”. Your art teacher was truly a man of culture.

Nobody: 40 minutes of audio: Y E E T 🎶🗑️🚮

I watched this in 2019 and I’m graduating now.. this was genuinely so accurate LOL

I’m in my junior right now, and yeah, the junior grind is real, Jesus it feels like I’m getting hit with so much work that i could’ve avoided in the beginning of the year

College advice: Do not procrastinate!!!! That’s the worst thing you can do to yourself in college. Also you may think that taking four classes in the semester is no big deal, but if you decided to slack off even for a few days, you can easily get so overwhelmed with the amount of work. (Edit) Wow! I usually don’t get this many likes. Thanks guys! Unfortunately I have learned this advice the hard way. Don’t do it just learn from my mistakes.

When you said 3 girls got pregnant I was like "what about the boys?"

"Boys bathrooms are disgusting" I'm remembering that time i saw a huge green turd just 2 meters away from the boys bathroom's door....poor guy i bet he couldn't resist till the bathroom.

Watching this in 7th grade and coming back to it right before my first year in high school hits different-
