 What's happening guys? It's Nick Chay. I know it's been a while since I've uploaded a video, but wow I just hit 10k 10,000 subscribers and that means the world to me the fact that I was at 800 subscribers in December and it's just grown so Exponentially seeing this community grow and seeing how much you guys have enjoyed and supported these videos It really means a lot to me. I remember when I was first starting this whole YouTube journey I was feeling really discouraged that none of my videos were getting views or you know People weren't appreciating the content that I put out But you know the hard work finally paid off the long nights of editing and shooting. They're all finally worth it down It's really cool that I have this audience who is interested in what I have to say whether it's about photography or film or college or anything Like that, so first off Thank you to everyone whether you're new or you're an old subscriber Whether you've been here after 10,000 or before I was even hitting 500 subscribers It means the world that you guys are joining me on this journey. So thank you for that So yeah, it's been a while since I've uploaded this past week has been super busy super hectic with the first week of second semester I also have my dance show I'm part of this break dancing group So we put on our yearly show. It was a lot of fun our Friday and Saturday show both sold out So I'll link it down below if the videos are out yet. That was a ton of fun So yeah, this video is just a quick update announcements giveaway. Maybe at the end stay tuned Announcements so I've kind of been holding off on talking about this just because I wasn't 100% sure of all the details But I'm really excited to share with you guys, but I got an internship in Paris this summer So for two weeks during June and July, I'll be in Paris at a film TV studio called healing on pictures This is all through Princeton's international internship program Which basically allows Princeton students to have really great internship opportunities all around the world My best friend got one in Australia my roommates going all around Europe And so yeah, I IP is what they call it here and it's just it's really great opportunity for Students to get involved with real organizations real companies and have hands-on experience I'll also have a stipend of $5,000 to cover, you know airfare transportation food housing So yeah, it's just gonna be an amazing eight weeks in Paris I'm really excited to be focusing on this film stuff So I'll be directing helping edit produce and just being an intern so that's all the details I have right now once I figure more stuff out.

I have this GPA scores Do you think I'll get into this certain school or hey, could you look over my essay? Hey, do you think I'm competitive enough to get into Princeton? And as much as I would love to answer each and every one of you guys's questions I just don't have the time for that as a student myself I've really been thinking about the best way to approach this and so I'm gonna be hosting a live Google Hangout session with me and five other people It's gonna be an hour session where you guys can ask me any types of questions you have whether it's about your extracurricular your resumes or just college questions in general It's just gonna be you and four other people that sign up for that specific time slot and the reason I want to cap it at five People is that any more than that is just too many people to accommodate for in an hour session So the really great thing about having other people in your session is that you can hear my Perspectives on their specific stories and that'll help you also gain some insight because these are people from all around the country Or all around the world who may have different college application stories and so the way this is gonna work is you can go to my website I'll link it down below and you can purchase an hour time slot and then I'll send you an email with all the specifics about how to set it up and Basically what I'll do is I'll call each of you guys and yeah for an hour. We'll just have a nice conversation I'm very excited for this. It's a very Experimental phase right now. I'm trying to see if this kind of marketing is feasible and it's practical for an audience like you guys So spots are very limited. I don't know how many sessions I'm gonna open up But if this is in popular demand that I'll definitely bring it back since I have no idea how popular is gonna be the first 20 people to sign up We'll get $10 off their first purchase So make sure you guys do use that code down below on top of that I'll also be doing one-on-one Q&A sessions where if you don't want to be in a group of four other people You can have a very private session with me ask me any types of open questions You want and really get my perspectives on it and as a disclaimer Obviously, I'm not stating that I'm a professional or that I know everything about college admissions or anything like that I'm just a freshman here at Princeton who is trying to offer my perspectives on what I think will help give you the best chances And you know from my experiences help you guys because I know a lot of you guys have been asking similar questions So I think this is gonna be the best way to remedy that a few people have been interested in essay reviews and critiques So I've partnered up with a professional writer and if you're interested in that I'll also have that link to my website and you can purchase it based on your word count You'll send us over your essay and we'll take a look at it The essay review package will include a one-page summary of our revisions And why we think those changes should be made and basic grammar and any other types of Revisions that need to be made. All right, and the last most important thing is I'm doing a giveaway of This GoPro this GoPro hero 3 silver has been with me for almost four or five years now This was one of the first cameras I picked up and it's really been by my side ever since I've taken this thing on so many Adventures underwater just doing the most craziest things It really puts a new perspective on things and allows you to capture Images and videos in ways that you never would have thought before it's been my trusty partner But you know, I just want to say thank you to all my new subscribers for helping me get to where I am today All right So the rules to enter this giveaway are like this video comment down below why you need this GoPro and then subscribe to this Channel I've been looking at my analytics and almost 60% of you guys aren't subscribed Which makes no sense because why would you not want to be subscribed if you're watching my videos? I also need you to subscribe to my second day's channel, which is called blog day I'll link it down below because I'm gonna be putting out a lot more projects on that and then finally just follow me on Instagram And yeah, that's all you have to do I'll be looking through all the comments and picking a winner in the next week or so and as far as Future content and the future of this channel I've really been thinking about what I want my videos to be and what I want to create and To be honest, I have no idea That's kind of why I haven't made any videos this week because I don't want to be putting out poor shitty quality I could easily break out a video every single day, but they wouldn't be up to the quality that I want So that's why I want to take this time to just really reflect on my own creative processes And what I want as a filmmaker and a creator because as much as I love having this audience at the same time It also needs to be fulfilling for me And I just haven't figured out what exactly that avenue is I'll definitely pick up vlogging again It's just a huge time commitment on top of school to be carrying around cameras and vlogging and making dope quality content. So Yeah, that's all in the future works Sorry, this has been just kind of a quick update video So yeah, everything will be linked down below whether it's the giveaway or the Q&A or the essay critiques or anything else Thanks so much. Thanks so much. Thanks so much. Thanks so much for watching and I'll see you guys next time
