 What's up guys it's Josh and we're back again with another video. I know I haven't been posting as much as I used to since I got to college but I've just been insanely busy with all the stuff that's been going on. A lot of big mile markers like move-in day and the first day of classes and all this other stuff that's been going on I just didn't have the chance to film. So in the next couple videos that I decided I'm gonna take a step back tell you guys the story of all these big things that have been happening over the last three weeks. And I have some pictures to go along with it too. So in today's video I'm going to be talking about move-in day here at Yale. Stay tuned till the end for a big announcement I'm really excited about. This was one of the most stressful and jam-packed days I've had in a long time but hey it was fun. So if you guys recall I was on a seven-day backpacking trip with my ROTC detachment and move-in day co-aligned with the very last day of the hiking trip. So the day of move-in day I was awoken at 4 a.m. in the morning and I was sleeping in this shelter in the middle of the Berkshires in Massachusetts. We woke up gathered all of our gear everything that we had all of the leftover food all of our own personal hiking gear at 4 a.m. in the morning when it was still completely pitch black loaded it up on our backs and hiked a mile uphill to get to the pickup point. From there we were caravaned like four people at a time in this tiny little car to get to the Berkshires visitor center. Once we all got to the visitor center we loaded up onto a big charter bus and began our trip home to Yale. Keep in mind this was the first time that I was able to check my phone a whole week long so it was just completely blown up with notifications. Emails, texts, YouTube notifications like while I was on the foot trip I hit a thousand subscribers and that was crazy but like just a couple days ago we hit 4k so the growth is crazy. We set up a group need chat for everyone that was on the foot trip so we could keep in contact with each other once we all got to Yale and started doing our own things. Of course we followed everyone's social medias. It was really weird because like on the foot trip the only concept of people you have is you know the conversations you have while you're hiking and their own personal stories that they tell you and everything but you actually have no idea what they're actually like in the real world so it was kind of funny stalking everyone's Instagram and social medias to see who they actually were. As we began getting closer to Yale I mean this was a two hour bus ride I really began to feel a little bit anxious not gonna lie. I was just there were just so many emails from the ROTC detachment and the registrars here at Yale about like getting your courses together and I had no idea what I was going to take and I had like a tentative schedule due in five days and I was just kind of overwhelmed and nervous. So the bus was set to get back to Yale at 10 a.m. but my mom wasn't going to get to Yale with my stuff till 12 so I had to figure out something to do for two hours. Finally the bus pulled into old campus and all the foot leaders led us in the singing of the Yale fight song before we got off the bus. We unloaded we grabbed all of our stuff and brought it back to the same spot we originally met on old campus on the first day so that was really cool. We got one more umgala in which is like where we all like got around with our arms around each other and just swayed and said umgala I know it's weird it's just a foot thing that we did. I got some free ice cream from the chaplain's office and grabbed all my stuff and again walking over to TD because keep in mind most freshmen do live on old campus but since I was assigned to Timothy Dwight college I actually do live in a college itself which is about three blocks away from old campus so I began walking over to TD to uh meet everyone. I remember opening the gate and just being met with a bunch of smiling faces everyone's super excited for me to be there. They handed me my ID and my room key and I walked over and found my room. I got there and my roommate Jake was already there and had already unpacked most of his stuff so that was good. I had some space to work um you guys remember Jake from like the last two magic videos he's also another magician. Actually the dean came by on move and day and said hey um I intentionally roomed both of you together because you both said you did magic on your housing forms so I thought that was really cool. Also keep in mind I haven't showered in a week so I smell really bad I haven't shaved and yeah I wasn't in the best position to start meeting new people so luckily Jake lended me some shampoo and I went and jumped in the shower almost immediately. A couple hours later my mom and two of my brothers show up with all my stuff I go down there to meet them and the TD moving crew already has like loads of giant wheelbarrows like that they're loading my stuff into and they're taking it all up to my room for me I barely had to carry anything that was awesome. Got back up to my room with my family my family met Jake's family and everything that was really nice um I began unloading and unpacking all my stuff and setting up this room the way it is now as you guys saw in the room tour video I think I set it up pretty well after that we made a trip to Target to pick up all the stuff that we didn't have enough space to bring here that we had forgot you know lamps whiteboards um fridge microwave all that stuff and then after the target run we went out to dinner my whole family and we walk into this restaurant and we literally see four other ROTC people that were on my foot trip all eating at the same restaurant so that was a really great dinner it was nice that my mom got to meet all the people that I'd been spending the last week with eventually though after dinner um I got dropped right back off at TD and began my first night at Yale I'm not gonna go into detail about uh all the stuff that went on that night but let's just say it was pretty crazy and I had a lot of fun all right guys that is the story of my moving day here at Yale I hope you guys enjoyed it I'm sorry I couldn't film anything during the actual day but hopefully this makes up for it kind of so the big announcement is that I now have my Yale PO box set up which means if you guys want to send any personal letters or mail to me you can now do that so I'm gonna put the PO box address right up here and I'll also probably leave it in the description if that's something you guys are interested in if you've been enjoying my videos that much feel free to send me anything all right that's it if you guys enjoyed the video uh drop a like and hit that big red subscribe button to support more content in the future as always I'll be back again hopefully in a couple of days with another video see you guys soon
