 So we are here in the size, size, size city with our dirties chicken tenders after three hours straight in class. But we are going to do a little college life Q&A, just talk, chill, answer guys' questions. You guys had a bunch which you dropped on the message that I put on YouTube. Should we introduce ourselves? Yeah, definitely. My name is Alec, I'm from New York City. I'm a sophomore in Pearson and I'm going to apply to be an ethics politician because I'm an economics major. So I'm not sure if I'll get in. Does he call the backup? He kind of stopped the backup, politicized the backup. Okay. Hi, I'm Carter. I'm a sophomore in Sabre from Long Island, New York and my major is cognitive science. Newly. If she gets in. Yeah, it's also an application major. Really? Mm-hmm. Hello, nice to have you here. Tommy, what's some enthusiasm? I'm a Pearson major, CS, hometown, Olympia, Washington. You guys know Tommy, he's been. I've been in some videos. Oh yeah. We've been in videos. In passing. Have you been in a video? I just came here from your last night at Yale last year. Yes, yes. What a night. That was a night. Alright, first question. How do you balance schoolwork with social life and without losing your mind? Simple. I don't. Take naps. Take naps. I wish I didn't. I know. I don't believe in taking naps. I don't believe in taking naps. Tommy, you took a nap this morning, dude. That's because I got like three hours of sleep. I'm still running off three and a half hours of sleep. We're going strong. I think that it's about like pretending that your work time is class time. Like, hey, these are two hours I spend in the library every Tuesday, Thursday, because I know I have it free. It's very regimented. Self-discipline is really important. Like if you know you're going out, one night you should probably get all your work done before that, and then convince yourself if you don't get the work done, you're not going out. That actually helps. Do you do that? I do do that. Wow. I never do that. I just learned a new thing. Interesting. It's cool. Things about cherishing the social time you do have. Even like quickly, when you're like going to the suite with your friends and like talking before bed, like counting that as social time keeps you sane. Yeah. You should like definitely incorporate so much social time. Can't you just be in the library all day long? No. Don't hang out with us. Don't study with friends. Don't study with Alex now. Don't study with Alex. I've studied with him like three times. I've gotten back in dust. Talks all three times. I can't study with other people at least. I get distracted. And then proceed to try and distract other people. Exactly. I want to join Yale that I'm only 11. We're just focused on school. Focus on school. Just focus on school. Don't even focus on school. I don't even think I was focusing on school when I was 11. Just become an interesting person. I think that this is the time to do that. Yeah, definitely. That's what Yale wants from you. A lot of smart people out there. Discover yourself. Yeah. Never need to discover it later. Multiple times. How accurate is Kill More Girls? I've never seen it. I've never seen it. My mom watches it. People like to pretend like me and my mom. I like to kill more girls. Because it's like the same relationship. But we've never seen it. So yeah, maybe we'll binge it. Binge a break. I guess I don't know. But then it's our hold, I guess. Do you have any tips for the college application process? Get your essays out as early as you can. Yeah, start early. Because you never know what you have the week it's due. And then you end up hating yourself because you have a lot of work to do. Or other things to prioritize. Start taking your standardized tests during your year. Or sophomore year. You really want to get ahead of it. If you think you can't do that. No, yeah. If you start your essays during the summer, then you won't have to worry about it when you actually have fall semester senior year. Which is kind of important. And kind of really, really busy too. Yeah. So you won't have time to do college apps. I ended up taking my standardized exams October of my senior year because I just happened to be on vacation or away every single other date that they were offering the exam. So, you know, follow the rules, but also like, don't stress out. You'll be fine. No. What's your favorite place on campus? Okay. Stacks. So cross campus. Between the two Berkeley had courts, there's the walkway going out of Sterling, and there's these two pillars that are like kind of like used as a railing, I guess, or something. And they're like platforms, and I love to sit up there and people watch. I pretend to do work, but I'm usually not doing work. But it's just like an optimal location on a nice study day whenever it is out on cross campus. Yeah. It's really nice. But there's only two, so it's kind of unfortunate. You gotta share. What do you like, Ella? I don't know. I don't have like a designated spot. I really like this place. It's a great place to work. Nice sofas. Otherwise, I just think Yale is generally really beautiful. I like the stacks. It's pretty private. Why do you like the stacks? Well, I made a treasure hunt there one day. Oh, I helped you with that. I remember that. What did you hide up there? Oh, there's a pond behind OML laboratory that's gorgeous. And sometimes in the spring, you can just sit there and do work. They're goldfish, lily pads. I can still work there now. We're also in any like hammock on campus. Yeah, like the Solomon hammocks are really solid. Oh, no. They are. They're so stubborn, bro. It's still stubborn. It looks like pretty much. It's warm. It's so warm. These are really J.E. dining hall. Huge plug or J.E. dining hall. There's no one there usually taking tons of work done and they never kick you out. You can just stay for like three meals in the day if you've nothing to do and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't say anything. I've done it for a breakfast until like 3 p.m. And I just consistently get coffee and get shit done. I've eaten this J.E. like twice. I eat there every morning. I'm not eating J.E. yet. Can I have a hot breakfast? No. There's some really good water in there. I'll take it. I don't like hot breakfast. I think it's not worth it. The eggs suck. And I don't need like a eat or pancakes every morning. That's excessive. Who wants pasta at 9 o'clock in the morning? Okay, they don't do that. It's only a brunch. It's only a brunch, bro. You know, sometimes they do do that. I don't think so. I'm not eating a hot breakfast. One of the other day, Pearson had like breakfast pizza and I was so confused. It's a treat, bro. What's an attempt? I'm trying to do like an insane thing. I would go for breakfast pizza. It's like the same price. Usually at hot breakfast they also have like cold breakfast items too. They do. That's true. I don't know. The eggs are like more than 1000. Really? I've never watched that breakfast. Just like if you're coming from the gym. But then like that. I have a very important question for the group. Okay. Dorothy's tenders versus dining hall tenders on the tender Thursday. I think Dorothy's tenders are actually better. Dining hall tenders. I'm going dining hall all the way. Dining hall tenders are actually fried. These things are just like frozen. Yeah. These are like microwaved. These are softer though. They have better sauce at derphys than they do. They have all the sauce as an added dining hall. I didn't really like honey mustard. You get unlimited tenders. Would you want any more? Do you have any more? Yes. I think this is always good. I could take two of these for sure. I could definitely be like two of these. At least one and a half. But then also charge what? $6 for like four tenders. I mean also everything at derphys is just incredibly overpriced. Except for apple sauce. You can get eight for $3. Nice. I'm going to have to hit it. The other day I got one continuity and two vitamin waters and it was like $11 and I was so confused. That's really expensive for three items that are relatively expensive. A lot of people are curious about social life, slash parties, slash do people in Yale like actually have fun or are they just too busy studying? We have no fun here. I think we have a lot of fun. Much more fun than people do have at Harvard. Yes. And much more fun than people think we have. There's like so many different types of social scenes I think that you can really generally find happiness. We have a lot of parties that are open to everybody on campus as long as you're a Yale student or a visiting friend. Yeah. It's just like check IDs and that's the only necessity to get in most places. There's like no restrictions against males and like we're not like sexist towards women and only letting women into like fat parties most of the time. Most of the time. I like sweet parties are also a huge thing for like closer groups. My college actually pays a suite to throw parties. A suite that you're in. A suite that I'm in. So yeah, there's like a lot of opportunities I think even if you want like a chill night at home with your friends or it's like do I have to frat? Just know that the social scene at Yale is barren at Harvard. I don't agree to all agree though. Maybe that's a result of the administration at Yale versus the administration at Harvard, but I also think it's a result of people. I think it's partially administration though because they know that it's going to happen anyway so they're like oh we'll facilitate and make it safe. Yeah, no that's a good question. It's totally administration. No, it's just the type of person that comes to the school. The Harvard kids come here from Harvard at Yale and they're like wow. Yeah, it's great. It's very open. Very accepting of people and also if like if somebody gets like too sick there's like no like repercussions or no punishment. You call the possible or the ambulance a company. No. Yeah. It's a very good policy. It makes everything super safe and you never have to like even though you're technically like in the middle like in the middle of like a pretty easy size city like you never have safety concerns I would say. You definitely have to deal with the townies everyone in a lot of different ways. That's a great thing. We're great people. Yeah. We're great people. No, a lot of the new headed lovers are great. They're great. Some of them. Last week last week I was standing outside of a party at a house and some random stranger comes up to me clearly just out of his mind a little whether intoxicated or just deranged. It comes up to me and caused me his husband. He wouldn't give up either because I was just talking to a girl. I was talking to it was like this is my husband. Why are you talking to my husband? That's what he said to me and I was quite confused. Because he's not my type. Also, I'm not married. I think he was out there who were interested in Alec's top marriage. He's single and looking for people. Not actively looking but you know something goes my way. He's leading all dating apps? Yeah. Making big steps. Don't have a tinderator. It's weird. Sometimes you have awkward interactions. Sometimes you match with someone you see down the street and then I've made some good friends actually. Because then you see them and like if you mess up to it first I think it could be interesting and fun. It could be. Yeah. And it just like But he was like a pretty small school it's probably like high. You might sit next to him in like section or something and that would really suck. Yeah. It was like very hard to hide. Yeah. But rumors and gossip every single residential college you practically know everyone like undergrad. It's very comfortable though. It's like high school. It's available. Not at Alex High School. Oh yeah. True. Not at any of our high schools. We know we're like normal. Unnormal. Like normal. We're like a normal classic public school. You're like a high-end. You went to public school right? Yeah. All of us are public schools. Actually everyone here is from public schools. You went to stylusons. I was like Let's take a test to your public school. Yeah. My school was test public school nonetheless. There we go. Okay. Here's one. Here's one. What does a typical conversation at Yale look like? Um, hey bro. Outside of Tommy's suite. Let's get a meal. Stash at anyone? Hmm. Conversations at Yale are just normal conversations. Yeah. Let me check my G-Cal. Yeah. There's some people at Yale who like to have really philosophical conversations. I don't know about them. I would say that's the northern though. I think everyone hits that at some point. Yeah. Especially when they're DS. But we all talk about a conversation. A sub. Yeah. A sub sub. It depends on the people you're talking to. I will openly talk about the Kardashians in conversation though. That is. They're great. I think they're great. They're very intelligent. Hmm. This is people here. I think that they've definitely taken their situation and ran with it and did all these things. She is our famous office sex tape. And she proceeded to make an entire career. She is American royalty. That family is American royalty. That's also like the American dream. They are totally American royalty. I know they're not. The fact that all America has bought into their fame is how they have. I don't know. I don't watch it. They're still making a lot of money. Kim Kardashian had a best selling book with photos of her face. Nothing else.
