College advice from a UC Berkeley student
Hi y'all - its been a while. My last video was during the pandemic when I just finished up my freshman year. Now, I am a rising senior isn't that crazy... Recently I've been in my ~creative era and decided to shoot and edit a quick video. Here are 4 things that I feel like would have been good to know entering college, nothing life changing but hopefully still interesting. Hope you enjoy :)

    hiiii im a first year at uc Berkeley and I love this video!!!!!! its very very useful and I totally relate to u telling the story of how u felt imposter syndrome in Ugba 10. I felt that in math 1a bro. When I sat down in the class there was so much people with their fancy mf iPads lmfao, I just wanted to go home. I love the videos keep it up!! if I see u around campus I will definitely fan girl hhahhaha

    honestly i needed this video! i am a newly admitted freshmen and have been feeling really bad imposter syndrome. i am such a regular student (academic wise), and i would hear how berkeley has the SMARTEST students. i felt really scared and intimidated, but this video definitely helped ease my nerves :)

      Oh my gosh, me too. I got accepted into Berkeley into their early admits and I really don't feel like I did the hardest academic work load. I know it's more of my stats, but they weren't that hard. Did you stay committed to Cal? How's your time there if you did? Is it really that hard? How's your social like? I'm planning to double major in econ and public health (actually put Poli sci in my application, but in further research, disliked the limited job range).

      @@trishab5815 hey! i did end up staying in cal. i am currently taking pre-req classes because i plan on double majoring in econ and media studies. the classes are hard, but studying and staying on top of lecture/homework isn’t too bad. of course, there are times where i struggle or do bad in midterms, but i know that i’m not alone. social wise, i do have friends, and it is not as cut-throat as people make it out to be. of course there are going to be people that will do anything to make it to the top, but i haven’t experienced anything like that so far. for certain classes, people will create group chats and discord servers, just so that there is a space to help each other out. the one con i will say about berkeley, is the crime. i’m from oakland, so i know my way around the bay area, and the environment here in berkeley is the same as oakland. but the crime at berkeley is on another level. we get warnmes/alert about crimes that occur either on campus or near campus, and it’s a lot. just about two weeks ago, we had a homeless person on campus that was on fire, legit set himself on fire. but overall i like my experience at cal so far, it’s definitely hard, but you make the most out of it. i hope this helps :)

I don't like math, but I'm really interested in the economy and I'd feel it would open my job range even more. Is the math that hard? How is media studies as well? I actually was looking into that major as I was looking to explore different majors and saw media studies. It sounds very interesting.

      @@trishab5815 the math needed for econ is 16A and 16B, which is basically calculus. it’s not easy math, but there are definitely harder math classes out there. econ in itself has your basic algebraic equations, not hard at all. for media studies, i am currently only taking one pre-req for that class, which is history 7b. so i haven’t taken any actual media studies courses yet. but overall classes haven’t been too hard!

    Great video!! My name is Andres, it's pleasure to meet you. Also, I have a younger brother who will be graduating from high school in this spring semester. He did not take it seriously at school because he was into video games instead of studying. I tried to help him out but he was not willing to learn. However, he got pretty descent grades because he have a 2.75/4.0 GPA. He will be going to the same community college as me over here in FL. We just moved here to FL about almost 2 years ago. During my high school career, I had pretty good grades because I loved to study. I graduated from high school with a 3.71/4.0 GPA. During my high school experiences, I did not take any APs nor honors courses due to my move. I grew up with an Individual Educational Plan (IEP) due to my diagnosed with autism. For right now, I have a 2.7 GPA at a community college, so I still have time to raise my college GPA because I will be graduating from my AA degree in general studies next year in the spring. After I complete with my AA degree in general studies, I will be in a BA program for radio TV and journalism. Television is my dream career. For my dream career, I will be a singer, actor, broadcast, journalist, and author. However, I will be focusing in one or two jobs at a time in that way it will not cause me a lot of stress haha. For my backup plans, I will be working at a clothing store in a mall, office store, TJ Maxx, and target. I was born in the western of New York, and I lived there for 5.5 years. At age 5, I have became a military child, so I moved from state to state until I was at age 21. I lived in 5 different states for 2-3 years, Virginia for 6-7 months, and Puerto Rico for a year. Thank God that I don't have to move anymore. So happy about it. I speak English and Spanish. I'm still improving my Spanish to become a fluent speaker in the future. I grew up with my Spanish speaking family whom are from Colombia and Puerto Rico. Again, you did a great job with your video. That's very impressive that you did. I also had a 12 composite on my ACT, and I still made it to community college. I've been studying at a community college for 5 years. I'm still in my sophomore year at a community college. Just finished with my freshman year college credits last year in the spring with my two courses per semester of the last school year over here in FL. For right now, I am taking one course at a time due to the pandemic. Hope you have a best of luck at UC Berkeley. God bless you and your family. 🙏

    This video was really insightful! 'm a current junior in high school, any recommendations regarding furthering my interest in the Haas school? I've visited the campus before but that was a few years back when I wasn't thinking about college seriously, also I'm out of state (Texas) and I hear it's harder for those who don't live in California to get admitted to state schools like UCB? (Also if you don't mind me asking what were the top 3 stats (including any essays/connections) that you believe caused you to be admitted?) I also have a few questions regarding how the UCB system works with applying and going in undeclared... my dad is a Berkeley alumni where going in undeclared was commonplace, but obviously things have changed over the decades, and I'm unfamiliar with the concept of declaring majors in sophomore/junior year.

    • @thelifeofizzy7207
      @thelifeofizzy7207 3 роки тому

      hi victoria! thats quite a loaded question hahah. i am out of state for uc berkeley... ive heard that it's harder to be admitted out of state but havent seen any data or percentages to back that up. all i know about that is that since its a state school, UCB has a quota on how many california residents they admit and obviously a majority of the student body needs to be from instate. for stats, i have a video on this, you should check it out! also i am undeclared and at UCB, if you are in the college of letters and sciences (which many students are) you are undeclared your first two years until you choose the end of your sophomore year (the most common timeline but people do declare sooner)

    This really calmed down my fears about the possibility of attending Cal (esp the safety topic)! However, I am feeling somewhat burnt out from HS (along with major senioritis) so I am worried about the academics here, but I’m going to try and get myself as pumped and excited as i was before senior year so I can come to cal ready!! Just wondering tho, how is the drug culture here? I heard it smells like weed on campus.
