    Hey girl, I just wanted to let you know that regardless of the expectations your profs have; you are so strong for progressing through - the thing is that most university's have high and ridiculous standards (even in the pandemic when it is so difficult). Everything you said resonated with me - I am from Canada and I am in my second year of my undergrad and its not easy being online! My first year was in person which was amazing; but was still so tough - and it was on campus. Just know that you have a support system and I know first year can be an uphill battle; just keep pushing through, but more importantly, prioritize your mental health and make time for yourself if its possible - make the consecutive decision to make adjustments if you need to because school is not worth going insane. Love you!

    The part where you spoke about Harvard not being your purpose... absolutely LOVE. I've had that exact feeling with my university education & it's so comforting to hear you say the same, it really resonates (and I'm sure it's resonating with so many others). I've always thought you're a remarkable person Kristian, but this video & what you spoke about even adds to that. Thank you for being so honest & transparent. Sending nothing but best wishes for your deadlines!! You've got this.

    I’m not even close to going to college yet, but I know people that are, and how challenging it is. I love how realistic you are, because a lot people think that college is easy or not that hard, but it’s actually really challenging and hard, and it’s even harder when attending online. By the way, I love your vids:) you inspire me to focus in school and do my work. I also love the fact that you always try to help people, in how getting into college and etc...💕

    What you discovered is completely true, the peace, happiness, or purpose cannot be found on
    worldly things. A college, job, position, (or whatever) no matter how good or prestigious it is, will not fill us or be the escape from our problems. But there is good news, there is a God that loves us and knows exactly what we really need, there is a space in the human heart that can only be filled with his love, and it's impossible to fill with other things. In the bible says he created everything for us to enjoy it, what happens is that sometimes we take those things as our everything and we ended up feeling disappointed to see that they can´t give us what we expected. I can only tell you that what you probably are searching, (something deeper) can be found on him. I'm sure he has a beautiful purpose with you, BEAUTIFUL!. So I just want to encourage you, (Of course, if you want) to search him, to know more about him, not as a religion but as a personal relationship with the one that designed every part of you even before you were born. Jeremiah 29:13 says: "I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee"❤️ So search him and you'll find him!

    Its interesting that you talked about Harvard not "solving all problems" because I felt the same way when beginning high school in 2020. It was very difficult to move into a new and more mature environment during COVID because everything was so limited. But I can definitely say that high school has gotten so much better leaving the pandemic behind, and I hope that's been the case 2 years later!

      It must be that it's difficult for most people, but if they like it they probably don't notice. Likewise, a heap of assignments can make even the most simple and easiest subject a nightmare.
