It's actually really nice to see other people having an emotional time leaving home. When I left for uni I was very anxious and emotional but only ever heard people talking about how they were excited/not bothered. Also for anyone who is finding it more difficult it's good to remember all of the people/places you're going to miss are still there, you are going to see them again. When I left it felt very definitive until I went home for a weekend and realised nothing there had changed
That’s the thing though, is that you don’t know if you’ll ever see them again. Which is probably why so many people get emotional when having to leave their family/friends/loved ones. That’s why it is always good to keep in contact with them whenever you can.
No it wasn’t haha just something I like to do! Never know what someone is going through and if I can make them smile then it brings me so much comfort and joy!
I've watched this 5-6 times though the whole process of thinking about college, applying, packing, binging college move in vlogs etc. I move in in a day and a half and coming back to this video just gives me so many feelings and such warm fuzzies. Its like my staple college related homey video, its crazy to see how far ive come since the first time i watched this, Ellie i hope you're well! thank you so much, for everything!
Try using command hooks and letting them sit overnight before hanging things up on them. Also if you wipe the walls with rubbing alcohol before sticking anything to them it help things stick because sometimes the concrete walls are kind of slippery from the air
She is so sweet and humble and positive and wise, I’m just so proud of her and everything she’s done. 🥺😭 Also it makes me so happy to see how safe her and her family are being about covid.
It’s absolutely refreshing to see Ellie in the most stressful and bummer situations to remain so positive and look at the bright side! When her dad dropped the night stand, lights fell, everything crazy that happened and Ellie remained just so grateful and had a nice outlook. So nice to see this and reaffirms my appreciation for her as a youtuber and person
Leaving for college is heartwrenching. Just remember that, soon, you’ll be sad to leave college because of how much you love it THERE. Stay strong, keep your head up, big hugs. ❤️
honestly watching Ellie's videos make me want to get up and be productive and drink tons of water and just all around be a better person. i love watching her videos so much.
You guys made that room look soooo lovely and homey. I lived in a dorm last year and taking that extra time to make it a special space is so important. I wish you two all the best this year! 🤍✨
Tilly we do, they’re just in a hot state rn and it’s summer...... they don’t need that additional cloth bc it’ll be too hot & heavy (and college ACs aren’t that generous)
For all my college freshman, Big Lots has really cheap outdoor string lights with plastic bulbs and they've lasted me three years so far! And they have white and brown strings to keep the aesthetic going :) As far as hanging tapestries, attach clothespins or binder clips to a thick command strip and clip those onto the tapestry. Curtains I don't have any personal experience with, but Lowe's sells magnetic curtain hangers and I've heard they work well! I hope this helps someone :)
this vid is so good cause she is being so real about what moving into college is like especially right now. moving in your freshmen year (or any year really) is scary and you are nervous and missing your family. this is such a good example for incoming freshmen!
I'm also a freshman this year and when the whole pandemic is over, I'm gonna attend my college which is roughly about 1000 miles from home. Watching this video just makes me realize how closer I get everyday to that day and I just want to value every moment I get to spend with the people I love especially in times like this. Anyway, great vid, makes me really emotional😂
I love how you talked about anxiety and talking to people to help and things bc I feel like our generation (late 90s to early 00s) we grew up having to act like anxiety and depression didn’t exist and I’m so happy we’re not afraid to talk about it ! My grandmother doesn’t understand why I talk about a lot of things but everyone goes through things and I want people to know you’re not alone and it also helps me! ✨
I dormed for three years in a room with all cement walls so I know the annoyance of stuff falling yikes LOL ok best thing that worked for me and everything stayed up all year was to wipe the wall first, use command tape for heavier things, then artists' tape rolled and stuck to the back for paper goods. Hope it helps!
TIP: (weird but works!) If you guys ever had braces, you know what I'm talking about. Use the wax they give you to stick things on the wall! I have a bunch of my artwork on my wall stuck with that wax. works wonders :)
i wish... we found out that my brother's covid test is positive, so we are so worried about him and also we as means me and my family all living in same little home , so im so worried about that if im positive or not, also my parents. Whoever read this, please be safe, wear your mask, never put it down, wash your hands so often and never put your hands on your face and also wish us that we will go through this. thank you.
Elif wishing all the best for you and your family, virtual hugs and prays always! Little tips that help with stuff: even though it’s a respiratory disease, drinking hot drinks and drinking regularly will take germs out of your mouth and into your stomach (I’ve been told by many this can help), also don’t forget you can take paracetamol and ibuprofen for the symptoms to reduce pain!! Be safe! All the love
Fun fact: everyone including me who is commenting right now hasn’t even watched the video yet I just want to say thank you Ellie for giving us such great content we love you and you inspire me so much with my videos! Ily ✨
I remember I used to watch these type of videos in middle school when I was no where near this stage in my life. Now I’m a senior in hs, oh how time flies.
such a good vid i’m crying ITS SO EMOTIONAL and ur pep talk to urself in the car at the start made me cry so much. we need an ellie podcast fr!!! the way u brightened ur mood was da best :,) AND THE WAY U HAVE GROWN SO MUCH and come so far ellie omg 🥺 staying in the dorm yourself feels so different even though u have stayed alone before BUT THIS JUST HITS!! omg and the gas station at the start reminded me of u surprising erin at college 😭😭 AND NOW LOOK AT U!!! so proud of ya! love this vid. love u!!!! and LOVE THE ROOM SO SO MUCH it’s my dream room fr! can’t wait for room tour
thank you for vlogging this and attempting to vlog future college experiences even though it'll be hard to balance both, your vlogs complete my day 🥺 I started watching you a while back and am glad to see you grow. I graduated college a few years ago and this takes me back
Elie, nas oportunidades, vejo que você é uma jovem mulher emotiva , mas também é bastante criativa. Eu já sou um homem mais velho, mas com você é seus vídeos eu fico rejuvenescido. Não sei explicar, apenas gosto de seus vídeos. Felicidades!
For posters on walls, I remember using A LOTTTT of mounting putty and other adhesives but like you gotta put it all over the back of whatver you wanna hang not just the 4 corners
Anyone else feels instantly better when they see Ellie posted something💖 . . . I love her so much, she's one of my inspiration on why I started my channel and make videos
always remember that you cannot stay comfortable and grow at the same time. uncomfortable situations always bring the most growth and learning experiences✨
ellie is the sweetest, she payed for the person behind her and she was so sweet to the worker. this is what influencers should be behaving like, especially on social media
It's crazy what you made out of this room! It's so important to live in a cosy environment, especially in College since it can get really stressful. Wish you the best!:)
i love u ellie❤️ the beginning reminded me of a quote from bojack horsemen! “is it terrifying? no i don’t think so... it’s the way it is you know, everything must come to an end” idk that’s just super comforting to me❤️
It's a Winne the pooh quote! "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." (at least that's a quote that's very similar to what you said). The first week is always tough, but hang on to this year its going to be such a wild ride 💕sending much love and luck!
I’m so proud of you! I know it’s hard, I know when I move out it’ll be hard. But remember postitive things, and your starting another chapter of your life ❤️
Hiya! So for hanging stuff up I suggest asking teachers/getting what teachers use. A lot of the time for lightweight things teachers will just use a good tape or sticky putty (the blue/green stuff from elementary school)! For heavier stuff and things you want up all year they sometimes use literal hot glue from a hot glue gun. (If you use hot glue please do research to make sure you prevent wall damage) Just research methods commonly used by teachers! Or maybe even try asking one of the RA’s or other people who live in dorms!

I love how you had a smile on your face through the whole video!
I have seen so many dorm move in videos now it's your turn ❤️ I'm excited!❤️
it's funny when you say theres a quote somewhere you look around!
love this, hope you still have a great experience!!!
Try command strip velcros or doublesided tape or fun tack (the putty stuff)! Hope your freshman year is amazing!
wow that's actually a really good size dorm
First video I’ve ever seen from this channel and I absolutely love her energy and she is such a kind person.
Yayy so excited for this video Ellie.....can't wait 😍😍😄😄
I’m so proud of you! I know it’s hard, I know when I move out it’ll be hard. But remember postitive things, and your starting another chapter of your life ❤️

good luck in college ellie! i’m sure you’ll love it🤍
omg stop my dad brings his tools EVERYWHERE, even on foreign holidays "just in case" a socket needs to be fixed
Love that the entire ride she’s happy singing with sunglasses and then she’s crying and it keeps going back and forth
They walls will eventually take command hooks but not when it’s hot and the walls create a humid layer
Genj14 also when using command hooks the surface should be wiped w alcohol and then let the surface dry so that it makes it stick better
You can use tape to stick the butterfly poster.
Why am I crying while watching this. Hits too close to home, wow
Omg I have waited for this video for so long! And I love you Ellie and Ella, good luck with your classes and your life in college ❤️
Imagine Ellie responding to my comments that would make 2020 so much better
I love the vibe in your dorm room. So cute.
Can’t wait to see this!!! Aaaa congratulations ellie💛
Fun Tak/ blue tacky putty works wonders on cement walls!!
Hiya! So for hanging stuff up I suggest asking teachers/getting what teachers use. A lot of the time for lightweight things teachers will just use a good tape or sticky putty (the blue/green stuff from elementary school)! For heavier stuff and things you want up all year they sometimes use literal hot glue from a hot glue gun. (If you use hot glue please do research to make sure you prevent wall damage) Just research methods commonly used by teachers! Or maybe even try asking one of the RA’s or other people who live in dorms!
You can try hanging the tapestry with Velcro tape. Half of it can tape to the wall and the other half sticks to the tapestry and it velcros together!
Use this as the Ellie’s dorm is so FREAKING cute button!💖
No
honestly the flip between being super sad and super excited is a full on mood
