Hey Makayla! Glad to hear about your experience so far! As a college senior, my best advice to you is to let go of our expectations! I think especially as creatives, we have a specific vision for how we want our college experience to go, but it rarely works out that way and that can throw us into emotional and mental spirals. It is okay and encouraged to plan, but don’t get so wrapped up in your plan that you are not flexible enough to handle the setbacks and the detours and the recalibrations. It’s okay for things not to work out! Also I remember from an older video of yours that you are a Christian - if that is still your belief, sticking close to your faith even when you are short on time and energy will really help! Love you sis!
to anyone needing this today, your days will get better I know you get anxiety and I know you want to be strong but sometimes things happen for a reason and that reason is HAPPINESS. amen
3:30 I can TOTALLY relate to this. College is huge time management. Here’s a secret: I bombed my first semester but still was successful. It’s all good and not as important as they make you feel. That being said, first semester GPA is good and if you do well you’re pretty golden moving forward bc it’s easier to maintain rather than build. These opportunities are great but balance is hard. Having editors for now might be a good idea and know you can always take the reigns back in a few years if you choose! Now that I’m older- floating is the best and having close friends in different areas of life IS OK and not having a ton of besties or a close group is fine! I keep in touch with two friends from college as well. Your 20’s are really where you make friends as you grow!
Makayla I missed you so much please don’t stress yourself out and don’t push yourself You’re doing great and such an inspiration for young actors like me ❤❤
I just love the way you talk about stressful things in your life in such a peaceful way. I love you being so real to all of us and the time you take to make this videos the best ones. Love you and hope things get easier the next few weeks!!
Hi!!!! Just wanted to say, My school class was watching UA-cam for a science video, and a gramily add came on with you on it!!!!! Thanks for all you help supporting all of us with are acting!
Forewarned you that college would be a different world, and USC is no exception. You are at the right place for you, your studies come first as you invested so much effort, time, and other factors. I know you have got this, and you are doing great! Merde! Fight On!
Hey! Just wanted to share that I'm applying to USC TODAY (early action)!!!! I'm literally terrified and hope to get accepted since it's like down the street from my house
Im just gonna share my thoughts Glad to see a senior from a different country since im from the Philippines on my way to my sophomore year under the course of BS Psychology, For me Stress is unavoidable for all people it depends on how you navigate through it. Don't let the expectations get into you, decide on your own but decide it carefully, take one challenge at a time, have sometime for yourself, study if you must but not too much, friendships. Manage your time well (time is gold) a lost time cannot be brought or buy back. See you succeed in your life Makayla!
don’t push yourself to much makayla :) nobody is as hardworking as you are, try making some time for yourself! i know the struggles of editing, im an editor myself. i enjoy exploring new editing styles, i hope you find an editor & assistant soon! maybe you’ll have more time on your hands :) i’m personally not into acting or screen writing, but i find you so entertaining and i cant stop watching your videos. they’re so well edited & entertaining!!! i would absolutely love editing movies though! do you think usc has that? anywho, continue your hard work!! 💗
@MakaylaLysiak1 GASP!!! AINT NO WAY!!! OMG TYTYYT ILYSM BRO YOU DINT EVEN UNDERSTAND, YOURE THE REASON I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS SCHOOL ONG OMG TYSTTSYYSTSTST
I feel the same way. I’ve been acting for some time and i love it and it’s probably the easiest way in this industry to get your foot in the door but i feel a stronger passion for the behind the scenes, writing, directing. Love it
It's great to hear of your experiences! I always found university tough social-wise. I made one good friend from a religious studies class, but other than that, I felt like I was always spending so much time studying and doing assignments. Yes, the writing of movies is amazing! Whenever I see a movie with terrible lines, I never think badly of those actors in terms of their performances. My first thought is, I feel sorry for the actors for having to work with such a crappy script.
I didn't find "my people" in college until second semester freshman year. Just focus on your interests and join clubs that interest you, and you will naturally gravitate towards your people :-)
I love all your videos you are awesome keep them coming also informative you help me alot with my acting decisions and just in life period appreciate you! stay blessed queen 👸🏽🙏🏾❤️🌹🙏🏾
We are here for u makayla and I’m getting better with editing I just need the right tool even though I’m like a few years younger than u but I’m getting better at acting, and my mom is trying to find acting classes for me but we haven’t yet and idk how to get an agent or manager so I need help anyway take as much time off of the internet as u need😊
I’m a new subscriber and I love the content! Keep up the good work! Your really inspiring for young actor! Thanks for making my day and I hope you have a great Halloween!!
The video is amazing as always!) ❤️ makayla, I honestly can't understand how you are managing to do all of this work, and this week we got 2 vids! ❤️Omg, that's more than we deserve. So please, don't worry about that we are not getteng enough of content, we understand that studying takes loads of time) please, don't stress out a lot, we love you! ❤️🥰🎥✨😍
im currently an upperclassman in highschool and im feeling the same thing. Im in cheer, a choir ensemble and i do theatre. All that on top of my classes But in the end whatever you do is worth it if you love what you do, if you don't love it, then maybe its time to drop it. That's a lesson i had to learn
Dont be, from a sophomore it’s fine, and depending on your major and what college you attend it can get complicated. However, keep pushing through, and if you really enjoy your major things will turn out fine.
You just have to manage correctly. When first arriving, I would suggest not focusing on the party life. Focus on getting accustomed, having financials in order and doing your school work. 2nd semester you can relax a bit
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
keep going girl im studying for Diploma of Screen and Media tv film while working it get easyer I do editing and art department in austraila and it all hand on deck. :) take it one step at time. breath . keep it up girl
Hi Makayla,if u don't mind please make a video to help those in Africa get acting careers in Hollywood, something like that.... dunno if it makes sense 🥺
I want to become a actor in 12 I'll be 13 on the 19th and I can cry easily but I still need to work on everything else your videos have really helped me a lot and I just wanna say Tysm.
Honestly what ive learned with friends is that i didnt need a whole group of people to feel like i belonged , in the past i wanted this but no groups worked out they ended up being fake or got mean not saying the same will happen to you buy im saying having at least 1 or 2 really close good friends is actually more than enough
I Know this isn't on the topic of the vid, but your acting videos and tips, has inspired me so much♥️ I finished a script I made and I hope I can maybe make it into a actual movie! thank you ❤️
Hello, I saw your videos about having a role in a show, or audutions. But I have so much questions and problems.. I hope you can help me. The biggest problem is, I have social anxiety and I really want to be an actor. And I want to change my name, surname. I also want to be America citizen. And my question is, the difference between actor and actress. Men actor and Women actress, but they use actor when they talk about a woman too, im so confused, they dont really use actress or idk. If you were an actor, do I have to call you "actor" or "actress"
Hi, love ur videos and I have a question. I’m doing an audition and I was asked to slate and then then “show a ¾ body portrait shot, then ¾ body in profile”. What does that mean?
Your so amazing since I count you as like a best friend guess what my 12 birthday is on Tuesday and my parents told me for an early gift of Backstages!!! 😊😊
Hey, I'm glad I met you today. Your a true inspiration and a brightness to my day. I hope we can become friends because we have the same passion and gifts. We both also love The Lord so seeing you at church on campus would be awesome too. The cherry on top of this lovely cake if you will. I love you and believe we'll be doing great things. Hopefully together. God bless.
I need help plz, im a freshman highschooler that is starting in the middle of the year, new school new people, and my race is stereotyped alot. Any advice you can give me? (If your wondering why this situation is so specific its because we went on a trip out of the country right as school started, dont know why but it did happen)
What videos do you want to see next? 💌
Anything as long as it’s you❤

I have a question. If your a child actor and need to travel to film a movie does a parent or trusted guardian go with you?
Hi, love ur videos and I have a question. I’m doing an audition and I was asked to slate and then then “show a ¾ body portrait shot, then ¾ body in profile”. What does that mean?
you do a lot of tings at the same time, that look like a producer kind of work
First! Hey!
Your so amazing since I count you as like a best friend guess what my 12 birthday is on Tuesday and my parents told me for an early gift of Backstages!!! 😊😊
What are you using to get those cool effects in your video?
Can you do a video of how kids can do acting auditions because I’m 11 years old and I wanna be an actor
i would love to know how you record the audio on your phone and then what camera you use?
Hey, I'm glad I met you today. Your a true inspiration and a brightness to my day. I hope we can become friends because we have the same passion and gifts.

Would you recommend the thematic option? Or has it been too much of a burden?
Wait I’m confused now Is it a collage or a film school ?!? 9:05 - 10:30
