 You can just chill in the background as you can just chill in the background and care. Can you see me? Yes, they can see you. Hi, Bidgets. My name is... Flossanossan Heffilifcation. Whatever that means. Welcome to my new room. I'm his new roommate. No, so my roommate is asleep right now and because I'm not a bitch on YouTube, I respect him so I'm gonna let him sleep. I'm also not a YouTuber who's rich enough to have his own apartment, so this is the only option. This is my friend, Caroline. Say hi. Hi. She lives on the floor above me and we've been friends for like three months now, I think? Yeah. Two months around. I hang out with this bitch every day, so she's letting me record in her room. And today I'm sick, so I don't really feel like doing anything. So we're just gonna do a college Q&A because I haven't experienced college freshmen now two weeks in. So I ask you guys on Twitter, follow my Twitter, if you have any college questions for me and I'm gonna see if I can answer them with the little experience I have. So also, I'm sorry for my voice. I'm very tired. Randy Jackson, 22 says, how do I get into one? Well, I don't know because I got into one college only and I applied to six. Honestly, just work hard in school. You got to get good grades. You have to do amazing on your SAT or no school like you. Make sure your essay is as good as you can get. Like make them love you. Is college as bad as everyone makes it seem? No. Honestly, I love college. Yeah, I love college. Like high school is so much more academic compared to college because it's like I get a three-day weekend. I get to hang out with my friends every single day. Like we don't have classes for too long. Some days it's just 12 to four, but it's definitely not like the movies. Like we only have one class. That's a big lecture hall. The other ones are just small classrooms. What was the biggest expectation you had for college? And it's a living up to what you thought it would be. Be able to have free time and I could definitely say we get free time except not every day because we have two projects due next week or thing. What was your biggest expectation? I don't know. Like I didn't come up with any expectations. Like I was like, I'm going to come here and have fun and have party all the time and then do my homework. Because you party all the time. Yeah, I party all the time. I think that's one misconception. Not every school is a party school. NYU, especially Tandon, is like the opposite. Yeah, it's like not like NYU. It's like in the city. So like all the parties are in the city but like not at NYU, they're in the city. But you shouldn't party. You should focus on your academic. Stay in school kids. Is it awkward when you meet your roommate and do you become comfortable after a while with each other? I'm fine with all three of my roommates. I have stuff laughing. I have one roommate and two sweet mates and you just connect beforehand. That's advisable to. Sometimes they don't even respond but you make it work or if you're like other people sometimes you have to switch roommates in order to be more comfortable. Do you worry about style in college? Absolutely not. I got fucking amazing style. What about you? Do you worry? No, I wear whatever the hell I want. People don't really judge here. I mean, there's no superlative for best dressed. Like just dress how you want but my style definitely changed between last year and this year. It's more toned down. Have you attended any crazy college parties yet? No, and I don't plan to. I think the biggest party we've had was just in our room. No, the room parties. Like the smaller parties the smaller parties are always better. Or a lot better than big parties with a bunch of friends. What does a typical normal college day look like? I want to do like a week of college eventually when I decide to and have the confidence to go to school with the camera but honestly it's like I wake up at 8.30. I get out of bed at 9.30. I do my skincare, take a shower, maybe do some makeup, get dressed, go to class for like 4 hours, come back, hang out with friends, do homework, we eat dinner across the street because we have a haul. How's it been so far? That's very generic but like it's been great. How many roommates do you have and on a scale of 1 to 10, how crazy are they? Honestly, they're at a solid 3 when I'm at like a 7 occasionally. It's because like they don't really hang out in their dorm or like one of my roommates they're always with another like their group too but I think I'm the craziest one because like I'm the one who is all about being clean, has the YouTube channel and has to do this shit and is gay so it's definitely a lot more for me. How different is the lifestyle and are you enjoying it so far? It's so different from what I'm used to. I grew up in like 2 small towns and never been in the city like maybe visited New York 3 times before but I knew I would love this place and honestly, Brooklyn is more like a neighborhood because we at least get treats. Sorry for the people I've been to and you guys always party but I like it in the homey area. Are you eating well and sleeping fine? I eat great. We get one free meal a day. It's not free, you need to pay for it. The food here is actually much better than high school food. It does not work for every college though. You're in the city so you can always find good food around. Sleeping wise, the first week someone tried to pull 2 all-nighters. I've gotten like the same amount of sleep I usually get but you can definitely get more sleep than high school at least for now until the exams come, we'll be dead. Any tips to stop procrastinating? Honestly, if you're surrounded by friends who also have to do the homework and get a good grade you won't procrastinate because we're freshmen, we can't really say oh, we'll just put that off because we're older now. That's a senior thing you can do. So we have to try. I'm in 8th grade and my school makes us decide what we want to do by 9th but I don't know yet. When do I actually mean to decide? I love you also. I love you too. I don't know what I want to do yet either. Do you? I mean, I have an idea but like it's not like set and stuff. Yeah, we've got plenty of time here. Someone literally switched majors the other day. Like you have time. You don't need to know in high school. How are your college dorms? I did a dorm tour or a room tour but the dorm is fine. What do you believe genuinely got you in? I'm a senior now and I'm nervous for all of it. Um... Oh, shit. There's a pigeon! There's a pigeon right there! Wait, what? Hold on, I need to take a breath. Wait, what? Where? Don't scare it away. Oh, shit! What the fuck? Yo! I think he's a fan. Shut up. Get the fuck out of recording. Honestly, I think it was my SAT score because I worked really hard on it. You on the other hand. Well, you have to throw me under the bus. Um, I think probably in my YouTube. My grades were A minus average so like that's all part of NYU. I didn't get like the best SAT score. Like people around me they got way better scores but I'm not going to tell you guys my scores. It doesn't mean anything on the other hand. I feel like for me, I mean I was never a good test taker for like standardized testing but definitely like extracurriculars. I did a lot of extracurriculars in high school. I did robotics. Oh, I forgot I actually built a fucking robot. Yeah, um... I did the summer program which was in New York City and it was called like Girls Who Code so like I think just like all my extracurriculars definitely not my SAT score though. I will tell you that my SAT score. I have like one extracurricular so there's a balance. How much is dorm rent? It varies but for the city? Oh, I'm not going to win that. I don't want to say. Just look it up. You'll see. It's too much. Yeah, it's way too much. Or I'll pour it guys. How exactly does college work? Like the whole concept of college confused Dutch here. Oh yeah, I forgot. The system in like Europe and Asia are different. Um, the US is messed up in my opinion. Just is college is four more years of educating yourself and you live near the college most of the time and it's just to focus on like one type of profession. So you can go into engineering like us. Um, you can do psychology. You can do art. Yeah, art, acting. Like there's so many options. You're learning like more about like specific stuff and then like you actually get a job. Yeah, yeah, cause apparently jobs require degrees in here. How do you attract the right crowd? Honestly, I don't know. I got really lucky with my friend group. Like I would not ask for anything to change. Be with people that you vibe with. Like you don't, you can choose in college. You're not forced to like all your classes so far. What's your favorite class? I am fine with every single class I have. I love all my teachers. I got very lucky with them. Favorite class honestly is probably ideation and prototyping because every week we get to just do something that we want to do and I'm choosing to animate and you can see on my new Tumblr because I have to upload there and that's literally my class and it's an engineering class. Like she does calligraphy for the week. Another class I like is Visual Foundation Studio because earlier today we made, we made photograms guys. Engineering. We should probably explain our major. So it's integrated digital media which basically is like steam. It's a STEM major plus art but it's mainly like an art major. Also sorry if you can hear beeping in the background but remember this is New York City, this is not the jungle or like the forest. What are the pros and cons of being out of college? Well, a pro is that you're away from home but a con is that you're away from home because sometimes you miss them most of the time. You get to be independent and like I really like the idea of having my own room and being able to adult for once so I like that idea and you have to explore whenever you want. But a con is the money and the fact that we're surrounded by expensive stores. How do I convince my parents to let me study in a different place, a different state or country? Tell them why, like I'm pretty sure if you study abroad here it can be cheaper sometimes. So just tell them like maybe the education in your area is better. Just you gotta give them a PowerPoint presentation. Any tips for seniors you wish you knew? Oh, seniors in high school. Don't be late on your applications like make sure you get every checkpoint done. I forgot to do all the prompts so that I just didn't get in because of that automatically. I submitted something late so I didn't get paid for that. So like beyond that stuff, that's the most important part. Shut up Caroline. Have you made friends? No, I made no friends. Can you go to answer my other questions? My name is Christian. What do you do for fun at college other than make videos? I hang with my friends. We go out on Manhattan and Brooklyn occasionally. Any advice for dorming? Bring clean stuff. Like bring detergent, bring bleach, bring wipes, bring gloves, bring a fucking swiffer sweeper, everything you can to make sure that your dorm is clean or else you get sick. For breeze. Oh please bring for breeze. Is the work more difficult or easier than high school? How are the classes different from high school classes? They're not going to guide you all the time. Like you're kind of on your own. The classes itself, they're sort of chill. Like you're not learning too fast. It's more casual. Homework isn't a lot right now. I just feel like this is the same amount as we usually get. If anything, we get more time to do it because our classes are only four hours a day. You have to sell my soul to have enough money to pay tuition. No, your parents sell their souls to give you the money and then you pay them back when you graduate, hopefully. Why did you choose to go? I was forced to because Asian parents forced you to go to college. But I chose NYU because I love the city and the major was perfect for me. How to hack the dining halls? Okay, so in our hall, we have an option to use a meal swipe and you get 120 meal swipes for our plan a semester and they don't roll over to the next semester. So a meal swipe is basically anything you can fit in this cardboard box. So if you go up to them and be like, can I get an all you can eat box? They give it to you and you pay one meal swipe. Like what I do is I'll first go to the salad bar. I'll get salad. I'll push it down with like quinoa and dressing and eggs. And then I go to the sandwich bar, get a sandwich back on top of it. And if I have room, I'll go to like the entree bar and put like mac and cheese on top of that. And that's like three meals in one that you smush. Yeah, that's my biggest tip. Other than that, like if you live in halls where you can, it's all you can eat and it doesn't have to be in a box. Literally bring Tupperware and fill that stuff up. Like don't be ashamed. Also steel lemons even though they're meant for decoration. Do you and your roommate get along? Yeah, like my roommate is fine. We're even more quiet. We don't talk every single day because we're not in the room all the time. But we're all nice. Like none of us had fought yet. Probably will at some point. Surprisingly, I have more guy friends here already than I had total through high school. I did answer your question. No, my roommate is like, I asked three questions. Oh, you asked three? You asked so many. Any cute boys? Oh, there's a lot more cute boys here but none of them want to date me still. But if you're watching, can you fucking talk to me? Just, I'm not scared. Yeah. Why are you scared to talk to me? Frederick, he's a catch. Frederick is a catch. I'm a catch. Yeah. Okay, thank you so much. It still means I have no one. Has anything been the way you thought it would be? Um, most of it is what I think it would be. Like in the movies, besides the big halls that people always are in, it really is more free for me. Oh, tips on time management. So in my room tour, I did show you guys like the calendar I had, but I have a digital calendar. I just put out my whole schedule there. Like I can download my weekly schedule from my classes, just put it onto my calendar and I do a list of like everything I need to do by the end of the day on my reminders app. And I just, you stick to it and you have your friends yell at you when you don't finish it. So thank you guys for giving me these questions for the video. I'm sorry I couldn't do like something exciting, but I'm really tired and sick. Hopefully next week I can have something that's more interesting, maybe something for my class or maybe I'll choose the vlog for once. But that's all I have for you guys today. So if you enjoyed, get it a like, leave a comment down below or subscribe for more below average videos every week or two weeks if I'm lazy. And I love you guys and everything is less than three.
