  • you are so handsome Im gay and you at first sight are not my type, but idk

  • Love your accent. You can totally tell your from North Dakota. You sound VERY native when you say Fargo.

  • You are so cute - you only need to smile at people and for most of them , the door will open a little bit. And there in is the opportunity.

    Just go from there. College is a liberating experience. And don't let a couple negative experiences scare you offf.

    I was real shy until I took a pt time sales job and learned how to "have a conversation"

  • You will find, but you prob know it, that at art schools many of the kids are gay, and almost all the others are gay friendly.

    Whether you end up with a gay roomate or a str8 roomate is your decision. I'd prob want a str8 roomate, so I'd concentrate more on schoolwork, rather then having this hot and approachable gay guy.

    But that is your decision. Don't ever, ever let the christian freaks and theirr ignorant followers cause you to lose your self respec.t

  • I have those short shorts in the blue and green. They're really comfortable. I cannot wear those socks though! They are so effing tight. I promise I can feel the veins in my leg throbbing from all the pressure, aha. Clothes look great, though. Thumbs up. :)

  • To the video bloggerA:

    You arent alone - prob lots of kids are like you - scared. Just reach out.

    Re telling your roomates your gay, I'd prob hold off until they know you, figure out you are a good guy and respect you.

    And then maybe start talking about the problems your "gay friend" had in in high school.

    Once you have them on board hopefully, the you can begin to come out.

  • My guess is you're gay. if so, don't ever let the homophobes get you down.

    2 - you need to learn how to talk with strangers, which is hardl if you've hiden who you are.

    3 - all you have to do "is have a conversation" with people. I practice eg standing in line at the market - start with eye contact, smile, mention about the line being slow etc. And half the time you'll have a conversatioin. Great practice, just takes time.

    Get people to respect you and most wont care if you are gay.

  • I am HORRIBLE at meeting new people. I can NOT bring myself to talk to people who I don't know. I have to know someone for a long time before I can talk to them.

    ...And yet, I never find myself without friends. People will find you.

  • Omg, I'm going through this right now.

    And I'm terrified.

    I'm going into a new city in Fine Arts too and I'm shit scared of not making friends oh God. But we don't have the roommate meeting thing. Seriously I need help with this.

  • Your hair is crazy hot in this video.

  • omg so funny. 'put my leg over my head'

    you looked really good. =]

    hope you have fun come fall! are you going minnesota uni?

  • lmfao dude yuhr funny

  • hey i go to the art institute too! not in minneapolis though.

  • wow... you're kind of lucky you get to try and choose.

    i'm nervous for college O_o... wonder who my roomate will be

  • your sunglasses are fucking hot. i want them!

  • 6:37 ... lmao

  • Ah!  The wish string! Four long months, and it finally came off... is it too late for your wish to come true?

    ...and I think that there might be a new thumber-downer person...or it's that same person from before

  • Okay. You are like the coolest person on this planet.

    Minnesota is the shit. It rocks.

    Seriously I like totally want to hang out with you because you are Crazy Awesome and funny.

    Sorry, I'm incredibly tired and hyper right now and should probably go to bed because at the moment I'm just wrecking havoc and using big words in weird sentences. :)

    I am subscribing. :) Cool socks btw.

  • I feel dumb, but what's a wish string (wish ring) ?

  • adorable x 10

  • haha ur short shorts are hot!

    XD

  • I'm really kinda infuriated that I'm too young/broke to come to 789. Because I kinda really want to meet you, since you're the most amazing-hysterical-adorable-ta­lented person IN THE WORLD.

    HAVE FUN AT THE ART INSTITUTE THOUGH.

    <3

  • i almost peed my pants when you reenacted the convo with your bro

  • BRING HIM HOOOOOOOOOOMEEEE i wish you would've gone for the high note. college is scary in the beginning, no worries. you'll manage. just breatheee

  • <333

  • lol..ok so you should of sang that song at the roomate rally thingy and then if anyone talked to you you would know they liked you for your awesomness<--spell check..also i know how you feel im going to attend the arts school in chicago and im hoping that they accept my request to room with my bf

  • I know you'll have a great time at college. I'm sure your roomates will love you, too. Hey, at least you aren't boring! Boring people are so 2008, you know. :)

  • don't worry, you'll find friends<33

    and people watching is so fun :) as much as it is creepy. I enjoy making up conversations for them too with my pals.

    but hooray for finding two roommates and I'm sure once they watch some of your videos they'll erase you from their lists because you're fucking crazy.

    just kidding :)

    about the erasing, of course. no one wants a bland rooommate, right?

  • I know the feeling of trying to find the right school to go too. What kind of stuff are you looking to get into with the Arts: theater, music, film? I know of a good university that has very good programs in those areas, but it is far south from you. It's also huge, 32,000 students.

  • If you come to NYC I sure as hell want to meet you.

    :P

  • Hi Jordan. You make friends like rain falls from clouds. You are fun, and genuine, it'll go right :)

    Are you coming to LA at all this summer?

  • oh my god i wish i could. I just can't afford it. I can no where near afford it.

  • I thought that might be so. A friend of mine (Sister Lupita Phahita) works for the Art Institute here. There's one I can walk to near my home.

    We're (sisters) doing a play I wish I could show you somehow, in 2 weeks..

  • I that sounds so scary!! im almost aout of school, where would i be??

    PS hahaha i always laugh when you burp hahahahahah!!! (:

  • I'm sure you and your roommates will get along fine, just be you, and maybe they'll get the courage to be themselves too because let's face it, everyone is a psycho but too afraid to show it in front of people. They'll all thank you for being you in the future =]

  • u look skinnier but cuter. . =D

    is it the hair?? o_O

  • Would you please please tell me where you got those shades. I've been looking for some aviators like that for a good month.

    Good luck at college, everyone's scared for a while and then you realize that it's actually just really badass. I'm in year 3 and still diggin in! Just relax and try not to strees too hardcore.

  • i liked this video

  • This video was super cute, and it didn't feel long at ALL.

    Yay for finding good roommates. I wish I had that roommate rally thing... my frosh yr roommate = epic fail.

    Les Mis reference... I do that all the time. I even made a video. Let's be friends. Kbyethnx.

    --jkim

    p.s. I'm a psycho.

  • Are you going to MCAD? If so that's super exciting....I'd love to go there.

  • no, but that was one of my options

    I'm going to the art institute international Minnesota

  • MINNEAPOLIS!

    So cooool!

  • I swear every time I watch one of your videos I cry so hard because I love you so much. I want to live in you.

    Your passion is sexy & I'm glad you're happy hun and a complete psycho. Just the way I want you.

  • you make me want to cry. That was the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me.

    Please crall into my mangina. I want to feel every movement you make inside me. Please be my butt baby.

  • yay les mis references:)

    hahaha. i get super annoying when i'm happy too. my mom HAAATES it :)

  • Ahhh your in the city! Are you going to pride? Meet up with me for pride I think some friends from Wisconsin will be coming also. I promise we will meet a lot of people and have a blast. Trust me you will get over the money thing for college. It's scary but one day it just hits you: it's just money. Pride isn't this weekend but next. Contact me if you need a friend for pride.

  • i'm not in the city until next month silly

  • i can imagen how happy you are, i cant wait to get out of here! , and im also going to the same school you are, just..another state..so im looking forward to how its gonna be through your videos! :D (:

  • you know, when I first meet someone, I usually am really crazy (in MY normal crazy mode) so that if they can accept my crazy side then we can be friends. ILY

  • you only said "you know" 12 times, and one of the times was a "you know what" so no worries, it wasnt too much.

    but I do have a question... since "y" is sometimes a vowel, are you supposed to say "an" before words that start with it?

  • dont be afraid of not being able to make friends! EVERYONE (like me or any other subscribers of yours) will die to get to know you when they find out what kind of person you are! ;)

    btw, i love your sense of fashion,... especially loved the blue cardigan! <3

  • you're a great guy...things will fall into place..

    btw, i'm impressed with your images, you're a creative guy and i like that you shoot yourself so much...hard to do

    it'd be cool to talk with you about your art sometime...lemme know

  • I was in almost the exact same situation 12 months ago and let me tell you... Everyone is nervous, so don't worry about it. Also, you'll end up having a great time and you'll be surprised at how quickly you make friends that you feel the need to see everyday.

  • That's exactly how I felt when i moved to London from a countryside Montreal. But trust me, nothing gonna go wrong. Moving to a city was the best best decision I've ever made in my whole life. With your charm, you're sorted. I'm really happy for you.

  • good luck at school! minneapolis eh? i sang there with my choir, and your just a few hours from me!!!!!

  • OMG I love you. i didnt even realize how long that video was until you said it. Your so entertaining. Anyone who doesnt want you beyour room mate is a fucking retard.

  • imma steal your glasses

    and your accents

    and i already stole that wish string.

  • omg hahah wish strings how creative

    never heard that before

    makes sence but,, hah i like it

  • i smiled all the way through this vid... sometimes i forget you're an actual person and not an entertainer (is that weird?!). congrats on everything... you are going to have so much fun!!!

  • that is so interesting - so much better than completely random like I had, haha

    good luck!

  • what a babe.

  • Minneapolis is awesome in the summertime for people watching. I used to work in the IDS and loved crusing around at lunch just watching ppl. I always wanted in some ways to live downtown in a condo or something;  I always thought that would be something I'd enjoy. Some of the people who are your roommates may end up being great friends of yours for quite a long time. Learn to become their friends and enjoy their company, as I'm sure they'll with you.

  • New York City will embrace you with open arms.

    We're all psychopaths around here.

    We enjoy it.

  • Minneapolis is amazing huh? I've grown up in Minnesota Don't worry You'll make friends, you're awesome! people will love you! I'm certain that you'll suceed at everything!

  • i want that blue cardigan!!!!

  • Don't worry, you'll make TONS of friends!!

  • I don't care what anybody says, I love your long videos. And even your "you know?"'s. (:

  • you can make friends easy.

  • You said "You Know" 11 times

  • How did you know i's my birthday? =D

  • Didn't know that you played Piano! That's really awesome!

  • Ooh. What are you studying??

  • do you think youll make videos as much and like these when your in your dorm and stuff?

  • i think i'll make more videos because i'll have more to talk about

  • wish i had speed roommating...my roommate was absolutely horrible for this past year!!!! he didn't talk to me for a month and then after that he would only talk to me if he needed something, by the end of the year we did interact more but not realy....it was really disappointing..

    loosing the wish thing must mean your wish is on its way to becoming tru!

  • I could sit here and watch you talk about your life for hours. It's pure entertainment. lol

  • CHILL WITH THE LONG VIDEOS!

  • good lord... I would probably be the worst speed-roomer ever.

  • "how did you know it's MY birthday" hahahahahahaaha

    I love you ever so much, sir

  • You said "you know" about 15 times :P

    Not so bad?

  • OMG the wish string finally fell off?!

    The unknown is always scary, it will all be great, you'll see. You do know some people down here. You can always call Karen. Or Guru, and he can twitter your google. ;)

    Good luck with everything, Jordan!

  • cute aviators !

  • hey! a tip when you move over there is too be quite out there and don't be shy! you've got to make as many friends as you can. and i know, i've lived in other countries before :)

  • omgomgomgz speed roommating?!?! that sounds fun to me!

  • <3 your wish is about to come true i guess! and when it does i better be the first person you tell!!!!!!

  • it's too late

    My wish was that i get all the scholorships that I apply for

    And then once i had already applied for scholorships and I didn't get all of them i remade my wish during the flood. I wished that everyone would be safe from the flood.

    hahahaah so yeah

    the wish string was worthless

    haha

  • dude! I know exactly how you feel. It's like, I've been to fargo, and I live in Minot, and when I went to Minneapolis. It was mindblowing all the different people, buildings, EVERYTHING.

  • I think that was the first YouTube video that was over 2 minutes long AND entertaining all the way through.

  • By the way, if you go this fall make some friends or find out how you can get into one of the buildings to have your stuff on display next spring. Then you can be IN the Art Crawl instead of just going to see it! Fun!

  • Ah roommates.......eeeeeshhhhhh..­...my first roommate was hell....He was strange and smoked cigars.......Thankfully I got out of that and out of that small town college quickly.

    It sounds like you have a much better choice for roommates.

    And dont be scared...you WILL do great with whatever you choose to do. Ive been around the block a few times in advertising and I like what I see in your photography. You have potential.

  • lol no you don't, I stumbled on you when you filled in for one of the 5AG and subscribed right away. :D

  • Ooops side note: I just googled it and they actually do a spring Crawl and a fall Crawl, so the dates for this fall are October 9, 10, 11. There's so much to see, you can either take the bus which will take you to various studios/galleries/random art set-ups or you can just walk a section of the route. So yeah, St. Paul Art Crawl, be there or be square.

  • Well i think you're def. going to be a step up on a lot of people in a lot of other schools. My roommate and I were total opposites, couldn't stand eachother so I ended up emptying my bank account so I could move into the empty room next door and live alone freshman year. NOT FUN!

    The Cities are so awesome, I live a few hours away and I love to visit there. Make sure you go to the St. Paul Art Crawl next spring, it's awesome!

  • I am in a very similar postition right now. Just finished school as well and I don't know what to do next...!!

    I really hope that everything will work out for you! and art school sounds like a lot of fun!

    Btw 13 x 'you know ;)

  • I have several friends who live in Minneapolis and they all love it. You will too. Oh, and Guru is in Minnesota so how could you possibly be alone?

    The wish string turned into your wish.

  • I hope everything goes well for you Jordan. I would say to every guy "I'm totally gay so don't let that weird you out!" Maybe you could find a potential boyfriend? Good luck!

  • you don't make friends, you realize them, and its pretty hard not to realize you, trust me.

  • hahaha speedroommating

  • You are beautiful & beautiful ppl always make friends and then you have an awesome personality & ppl with who have great personalities make tons of friends too. lol So don't worry, you will have it made for yourself at school.

    :):):)

  • T_T...........................­you're smokin hott

  • OMG could those glasses be anymore...

    AWESOME?!!!!

  • "Oh... my god... nipples." lol

    trust me, it's good that you're going to have your own room, even though it costs more. my first two years of college i had a roommate and it sucks when he's trying to sleep when you're awake, or vice versa. plus you hardly get any privacy. i'm paying the extra money to have my own room this year. it's also really cool that you got to meet your roommates beforehand, i didn't get to meet my roommates until the day i moved into my dorm

  • you are amazing. I fucking love you! XD

  • Dont feel bad. I think I act just like you... Like Change my voice and act wild and stuff but then again most of this is while no one is around... granted when people do see me they laugh.. (hopefully with me...)

  • The awesome cool dude that you be.

  • best hair on youtube.

  • omg thank you for commenting on my videos. I don't know why, but i got all star struck hahahahahah

  • I hope that was a joke because that's how I get with your comments...

  • well it's good to know you have 2 of the 4! No one ever said you have to be friends or close with all your roommates. (:

  • Don't stress yourself you're going to be ok

  • I feel a lot of your videos are artistic so that might be something that they would be interested in watching. Jordan you are a wonderful friendly person with a great sense of humor. Why wouldn't someone be thrilled to be your roommate? I think in a matter of a few months you'll find so many people that will be used to gays and will be gay and you'll fit right in. There is a place in this world for you and I can't wait until you find it. xoxoxo

  • i hope you have a good time there n good luck N i love when u make long videos so i will see them even if they are 1 hour you rock i wish we were friends still you rock hoop hoop

  • do i know you?

  • i dont know if you are talking to me or the person in the bottom but no we are not friends in real life =( but it would be cool hoop hoop

  • hahaha i think no matter what your roommates are going to at least make an effort to accept you. but im sure they dont even have to make an effort. really. you're very funny and it looks to me like you are really easy to be friends with. everyone has a weird side ya know you might be very surprised! haha what if they had a youtube channel like yours?! you gave them a link to your videos. thats a part of who you really are. im sure they appreciate that! dont worry youll do fine. d-^.^-b

  • shhooot gurl, you feel like every other college student in the world. i got yo back.

    wet belly buttons are sexy.

  • hahahah wet belly buttons ftw! I'm going to start a trend.

  • it took along time for the wish string to fall off

  • omg your amazing. your conversation with your brother sounds hilarious

  • yea i moved and i had the same fear that i'd never make friends and here i am two years later without any friends. lmao

    so, the moral of the story is that you need to STFU about such evil thoughts!

    ps we are very similar.

    also, don't sweat it! you'll be fine.

  • Thats all so exciting Jordan! What are you going to school for?

    and you only said "you know" 15 times... And thats counting when you asked your brother "how did you know it was my birthday?"

  • photography

  • Minneapolis! I live near there! Fun fun fun!

  • You're majoring in Fine Arts at a large city school; that means the chance of being among people with values similar to your own is quite high. (I'd be surprised if any of them can name more than a single professional football player.) You have to keep repeating to yourself the old Wizard of Oz line with a slight twist -- "We're not in Fargo anymore". :)

  • i'm not going into fine arts though. That's the thing. It's a more technical art school which is why i had so much trouble deciding if i wanted to go there

  • So, you counting en espanol just made a horrible day so much better :]

    And I would totally love to party with you in short shorts and knee socks. I'm quite jealous of anyone who gets to.

  • Yay! Oh, wow, I'm so glad that everything went well for you. XD Those knee socks are amazing. I need to go out and buy some more now.

    -Ri

  • ah! minneapolis is a huge campus. i feel like i get lost there everytime i visit haha. but its so diversed i like. you will def. like it there. and don't worry, they will love you there :D

  • omg...I ...think I am crushing on you!!

    You are PERFECT for a boyfriend. Be my husband please!! pleeeeaasssee lets go to Vermont!!

  • hahah vermont. I've never been to Vermont. Okay let's go.

  • haha I forgot to count! and I live the shorts you got omgshh. They're so cute. And If you really are passionate about what you want to do with your career, you'll get there no matter what path you take :]

  • You'll be fine. Try not to over-think things, that can parallyze you into inactivity. Imagine that most other people are feeling the same way you are. Good luck with the room mate situation...don't be too quick at volunteering info about yourself! Save some for later! *grin* Be Well!

  • Your computer screen saver had my attention the whole time...

    *watches video again*

  • it's great to hear that it all turned out well. and i am going to steal the first pair of shorts from you and wear them EVERYWHERE!! xox

  • yeah i get like that too. im terrified of not fitting in and being a total loner. its cliche but just be ur self and everyone will love you... that was probably the least helpful comment ever. how bout this? u look effin smexy in those sunglasses ;)

  • not excited to be making the decisions you are making now next year for myself.

    uggh

  • i love your aviators

  • Everyone freaks out before starting school....I know the whole second guessing thing, but you just have to go in full-force before you know if you like it or not.

    And BTW, if you are in the cities during the summer you should take a mini road trip to the Chippewa Falls in Wisconsin. You get to swim in them...which is amazing.

  • you've has the wish string ALL this time?! crazy!!

    YOU of ALL people WILL make friends. don't worry.

  • yeah it's been on forever!

  • Everything I've seen tells me that you'd make a great roommate.

  • You're going to be the life of the party, Jordan. You know that. You'll LOVE being there.

  • i was scared when you were jumping that your jiggily bits would come out

  • psh please i'm well supported.

  • it does look like you got going on

    and by going on i mean secure and child friendly

    not sure why i put child friendly

  • hahaaahah

  • There's like a billion somali people there lol

  • i noticed that at the MOA

    they're all so pretty

  • lol

    well since im somali

    Thanks :)

  • i'm in your boat too.

    i have a huge fear of not making friends, especially since i'm going to a different country with a different language in such a large city.

    but, like you said, i know i'll be all right.

    yet, that thought is still in the back of my mind.

  • i love your new clothes! :)

  • haha i would love to be your roommate

  • You will be fine Jordan. You have no problem making new friends. I think it is neat you made some big changes and are living in a larger area which will expand your horizons. You have a lot of new experiences heading your way.

  • I'm coming over when you ass gets moved in. The wish string fell off, cool.

  • and i can braid your hair.

  • I don't have much hair to braid right now, but I won't stop you from trying. :)

  • Glad to hear you found some roommates you think you'll get along with... I'm in my senior year and I've yet to have a roommate that I was able to become really good friends with. I got along with a few alright, but it was more of a coexistence thing than a real friendship.

    and I so need to find an American Apparel... I see so many on YouTube with awesome clothes from there, yet I've never actually seen the store anywhere in all my life

  • I would like to see more super long videos!

  • I agree!

  • Wow that roommate roundup thing sounds awesome. I wish we had that when I went to college. My freshman roommate and I didn't get along too well, not that we got along badly, but we pretty much ignored each other.

  • ummmmh. i'm glad i've rekindled my youtube-vlogger-obsession by watching my first favorite vlogger. -is reobsessed with you, you amazing hunka hunka burnin' love-

  • mmmm you keep on bringin' me them elvis quotes baby

  • I completely understand what you're going through. But don't worry that much, as someone said: 'you're gonna ok..., just dance'

    You look outstandingly gorgeous in those sunglasses by the way.

  • you in short shorts and nee highs = ballin!

  • I LOVE to people watch. SO much.

  • Ha, you didn't say "You know" once. ;]

    Smart way to keep the viewers watching.

    I Love your v-neck and all your new clothes.

  • are you kidding me!? I said you know like 5 million times! Open your ears man!

  • i think we're bracelet-disappearing twins...

    during musical, i had a wish string that i had to take off of my wrist, and when i took off my shirt that i had the bracelet over the cuff of, the bracelet flew off into my bathroom and i never saw it again...

    and, as i must always say on every comment, i love you. and i know how you feel about wanting to get things right... you're going down the path i want to go, but my parents are dead-set against.

  • AAAAAAHHHHH I love long videos! and this one was great! Wish String to the MAX! I hope what you wished comes true. ;)

    Hasta pasta!

  • donwtown city life is really interestin and fun

  • Fierce Sunglasses! Love them.

    Dont worry....we ALL have those fears. Everyone...even if we are not willing to admit it to others.

    I envy you...I wish I had moved out at 18...dayum. That would have been an experience. *hates Jordan for a second*

    Okay...Im back.

    I love the shorts. Seer-sucker is SUCH a summer fabric! I have pants! lol

  • haha, that was entertaining..

    im glad you got along with people! i knew you would

    i didnt hear you say "you know" that many times

    but i did hear you say fucking alot :D

  • Omg, i have the same fear!! I'm always thinkining omg, i'm not going to make any friends, i'm going to be all alone :(.... exactly the same!! haha

  • how is the art of asia related to this? lol

  • Don't be scared! I had the same fears before school, and you know what? I made my best friends within 2 HOURS of the firs day.

    Its the beginning of your life, be excited, it only gets better. Especially if you're going to an arts school :-)

  • i think you should stop worrying about being successful and just enjoy what you are living and what you are doing.

    pd. who would have thought minneapolis is that exciting...

  • i know right! It's just something i really want. I'm always over thinking.

  • just so you know, long videos are the BEST =]

    annnnnnd the wish string must have dissipated (spelling?) so that your wish could come true.
