 Hey guys, what's up? It's Kinsey and welcome back to my channel in today's video. Well first off I'm in Texas right now filming this by the time this video goes up. I'm probably back in LA But I wanted to film a video about like my past year of my college experience Kind of update you guys a lot of you guys have a lot of questions I know there's a lot of you guys who are going through like college applications soon ish kind of yeah, whatever You guys have a lot of questions regardless because you're looking into southeastern or a southeastern extension site campus This is a good video to watch but regardless just like telling you guys about my college experience Little bit of backstory. I graduated high school online and moved out to LA my senior year so From the summer after my senior year to the fall of my sophomore year I was taking my classes online through Santa Monica Community College and then I transferred in to Southeastern extension site through Zoe leadership college the spring of my sophomore year and so now I've done two semesters there So I'm a year there. I'm a junior. I just finished out my fall semester and I'm starting my spring semester in like a week or two So the school that I go to is Zoe leadership college It is accredited through at Southeastern University So it would be considered an extension site of Southeastern University away if you guys are familiar with like Hillsong or something Zoe is a church. We do take a few like religious classes, but for the most part my classes are really normal We go to school and the offices of Zoe. So we're there three days a week and it's very I would say it's kind of like intense Here's Coby. It's a pretty intensive program. You're asked to do a lot of things I love like everything that we do it doesn't Feel like you're asked to do a lot of things But if I think about it in terms of like a normal college university experience, there's a lot of things that are like out of school You have a lot of requirements Which I'm sure you would for like certain classes, but as far as the leadership standpoint and then Like you're serving requirements, which most of us would do anyways So it's actually not like we have to you know what I mean So we have classes Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Tuesday, it's nine to three. I'm trying to I'm like forgetting our schedule because I'm gonna break this semester We're doing the staff divas together. So like Pastor Chad comes in does a message We talk about what's coming up in the church and then we go into school work for like from like ten to one and then Like one to three. We have these things called workshops workshops are really cool. Actually, I don't know if every single one of the Extension sites like I don't know how what your schedule is. I know like some of them are like way less I don't want to say intense because that sounds bad. I think Less demanding, but that also sounds bad because I like how I like what we do. It's good. Okay I think they just do less cool stuff basically, but we have workshops. So we'll have some in common like we've done on like finances Creativity Music graphics and stuff like that and they'll do like real-life things because they don't want to send us like into Like the real world and not know how to do real life. So that's really cool Like the things that everyone tweets about and they're like, why don't we learn this in high school? We get that but like way cooler Wednesday, we do Like the first years in the second year split up and we do teachings in the morning So I don't have to be there till 10 30 we do that from 10 30 to 12. We've launched from 12 to 1 1 to 3 we have Why am I forgetting this? I'm just oh, yeah, we have tracks. So whatever track you're serving in Or you just want to be on that track. I'm in the creative tracks So for two hours we work on the creative stuff Thursday We have chapel in the morning and then we used to have like outreaches, but I think we're switching up So that's just like the general schedule of what we have our classes are all online. So Basically like when I want to go to zoe for school I really my biggest thing that I wanted was I wanted to one be around people but also have leaders in my life And so that was really great. That was like my main reason why I wanted to do it So basically like I was doing online schooling already, but without everything else which I'm so much happier doing this I wouldn't really recommend online schooling to people and that's that's like your only option I definitely had to make a lot of changes in my life to do this, but it was so worth it Like this is the best decision I ever made. I'm trying to think of any other questions before I get to the actual questions I'm a business administration Major. I'm gonna get my bachelor's in business admin. I graduate spring of 2020 There's a lot of college week in my life vlogs already up on my channel So if you guys are interested in that check them out tuition is like 10,000 a year best decision I ever made I'm so happy for my math. Seriously. This is never something I would have thought I would have ended up in and I also would have never done this at a high school So if you like don't I my situation was a little bit different I just thought I was always gonna do online college and graduate from them But if you don't know like go to a community college save the money and then you'll figure it out But yeah, also, I think like a four-year university would be like fun and stuff But I'm just really glad where I ended up worked out really well How is your experience as you'll see different than a normal college experience? We go to school in an office. We are like it's very leadership intensive so you learn a lot of things in School that you'll actually use in their life and like I apply this stuff to my life Every single second of the day every single second you can apply something to it also from someone who like runs a business It's helped me so much as far as like running a business Not that anything that we're doing is a business, but just in leadership aspects I've been able to apply those to my business, which is really helped. There's no like Greek life I mean, it's very different like it's very very different social life So our program is literally I think right now. We have like 43 people Yeah, it's really really small and it's growing come if you guys want but yeah, the social life Everyone's really close very tight knit I actually really like I would have never pictured myself being at a small school But I'm really really happy that I did that because I don't know I was never like a small school person and I'm very pleased with this, but yeah, everyone's really tight knit Really inclusive Lots of like really good friends. I have like some of my best friends in the world from there It's an enormous university South Eastern is a university and we're going to southeastern like our classes are accredited through them We're basically an online school. They're southeastern But like the school that I attend is not a normal university the struggles I Think a lot of people in my program would say maybe it's just hard to like juggle and do school at time because we're in class But we're not actually working on our classes a lot of the time which we do have time to work on our classes The one thing that I think I'm like the best in is time management So I don't really have that issue as much just because I'm so with my planner So I've like incorporated time and stuff. So I think a lot of people would think Getting a job in LA is hard. That's one of the things that's like definitely been an issue And then also just like maybe like fitting time into do your school We're another thing that I forgot to mention is that I don't live like on campus like we have we don't have like a campus We have student housing and we have them at the Park La Brea apartment. They're like a really big complex in LA I don't live there, which I think has been really good for me because I really enjoy not living in the apartment To be honest with you. It's really nice to have a break because a lot of them work together live together and go to school together So like that will be a struggle, but everyone still loves each other It's just like hard to be around each other that much, but yeah, we do have student housing right now that how you balance life in school Time management, honestly, it's hard a lot of the time especially because we have a lot of like serving requirements Which again we would do without that So if it's hard to see friends who don't go to zoe honestly But I just like make it a priority or I make it a point, but I can't do it as much as like I wish I could it's just hard because we're very like you're very busy, especially fall semester But it's like so fun everything that you do is just so fun mistakes you've made The one thing that I will say is that when I started going to ZLC I was a local and I was already living in LA So I already had a lot of friends in LA so it didn't really invest in the friendships that I had at ZLC until probably like the last month of spring semester and I almost wasn't gonna come back not because I like the program but just for like a billion other reasons But I got really close with everyone and then I was like no I definitely want to stay which was the best decision ever Thank god. I don't know what I would have tried it out of left. I'm so sorry I have to film this video really quickly and he's just making a lot of noise So I didn't really invest into my friendships there in my relationships there which is stupid because like obviously I'm there for a reason So like why you know what I mean? It was just dumb because I was still Because when I was out of school, I was like, oh, I see them at school in a church all the time I'm gonna go hang out with friends who like don't go to zoe or don't go to my school Um, which I still love all those people But like I'm there for a reason so I shouldn't invest in more people and now I have and now I'm really happy What made you choose that school? I think I already said this but um, I was already getting a call I was already getting a business degree like there's nothing that really changed on my major at all But I just didn't like that I was working from home and doing school from home It was a lot and then also I wanted to be under leaders like I didn't have like mentors in my life Um, I don't know it was just like and I wanted to be around people and I wanted to be around Like I didn't want any of this stuff to get bigger than me not to have like a really strong foundation And I didn't have people that I was like learning from in my life So that was like my main thing I also have a podcast with my director Nate and then I want to film with my other director Sarah and then I want to film with them together um Big workload guys, but I'll have that link down below and we just talk we don't talk that much about the program But it's just really good. That's the other thing I will say our directors are amazing Like we have like literally my favorite people in the world names. They're the best like genuinely the best directors We could ever ask for um, how do you feel like has changed your faith life? Definitely grown like exponentially. I also think it's as a leader. It's grown me like exponentially um, yeah Someone said boys Okay, like we're in a program of 43
