Life advice and regrets from an Ivy League Admit (+ tips to get into college)
Here I go again sacrificing my dignity for content.
Being a loser in high school humbled me pretty good. And it taught me a few things that you might be interested in learning too. But I'm barely an adult and still have a lot more to figure out, so take everything I'm saying with a grain of salt. It's not that serious.
Plus tips to get into college lol.

Also sorry for the erratic upload schedule, I just hav...

    this is generally just a brilliant dude, if any uni rejects you, its a crime, you've struggled in life, way more than most of us have had, things that would make a normal person quit, but you've fought through it bro. Hopefully you're doing well now.

      There's one major one for a lot of schools (Common App) but then most of those schools have 1-3 supplementals (why did you pick your major, why do you want to go to Safety School University in The Middle of Nowhere, Indiana, or some other bs around those lines)

    • @Lalalalala98872

      of course not, its a balance between Grades, internships, activities, sports, essays, and more for most schools.

    I am 39 years old. You remind me of myself when I was in high school and college. You will look back when you’re my age and realize everything that was important to you in high school and college (I.e. grades, AP classes, SAT, extracurricular activities to make your college application look better, friends, everything you mentioned in this video) was silly and not worth your time and stress. People you care about will die, you will realize how ugly the world is, and life can be monotonous and sometimes depressing- think: working the same job for years, even if the pay is good. But life is a process, and there is nothing wrong with caring about what you care about now. You won’t really understand what I’m talking about until you experience it when you’re older. Good luck with everything

    Hi Quon, your email listed on your channel doesn't seem to be working so I figured I'd leave a comment on your least viewed video to stick out. The email I was going to email you is copy and pasted here: When I first drafted this email, it started to spill out my whole life story, so I figured I’d save it. I found your most recent video on UA-cam interesting. You seem like a genuine person who will not settle for any job that lacks clarity in purpose and effectiveness, which I respect. With the company I have now, I want to make cost-effective superconducting wires. If you’re down to grab a coffee in town and talk business some time, let me know. Anyway, take care of yourself, man, and I hope to hear back from you soon. Peace! Best, Gary Dinmore

    I was never popular during my student life but in middle and high school at least I still had a few friends to be around with. However I was pretty much alone in uni LOL, made a few superficial friendships for group projects but once we weren't in the same class we weren't in touch anymore. I went to a competitive faculty and hated the ppl there, met some who straight ignored me when I said Hi. It was traumatic and even years later I am hypersensitive to people's response and get a lot of anxiety when someone I reach out to doesn't reply. When I went to school counselling and told the therapist about my experience she asked "that happens?" with a questioning face. I never went there again. People who haven't experienced it will never empathise and may even make your feelings feel invalidated. worst feeling ever
