- 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.

Dude this was real af thanks for being vulnerable
ofc. thanks to you too, appreciate the support
The fact that you can hear the birds and other animals in the background makes it seem more real like we're just having a conversation with a close friend
ay thats the vibe, whatever makes you comfortable. it makes me happy that you see it that way 😊
"It takes a lot more effort to reverse the damage you causes to yourseld than it takes to prevent it" FACTZ OMG
YUPPPP
I love how you said don’t get caught cheating vs don’t cheat LOLOL
oop totally not intentional LMAO
Holy shit everything you said, the taking care of your appearance, spend less time on video games and more time making solid friendships, realize that nobody cares, EVERYTHING is what I would’ve said to my high school self too. It’s crazy how much I relate to this video
We really out here livin the same lives
@@QuonHowery02 fr bro, and by the looks of this comment section, this is more widespread than I thought! You’re helping a lot of people. Keep up the good work :)
me too
this was so comforting and reassuring. I think a lot of Asians wish their parents said these words to them.
I'm glad it was, and lol yeah asian parents need to step up their game. Not just in giving advice, but in being parents LMAO
@@QuonHowery02 not putting the entire blame on my parents.. but i would say emotionally, i had no parents
@@joshualim423 what
thank you for reminding me that after you pass a few qualifications, it really is based on luck. i literally spent the last four years working tirelessly to get rejected from 11 out of 13 schools I applied to. makes you feel numb for awhile but i trust that everything happens for a reason.
im sorry. i know it can feel like such a disappointment, but youre right. what we see as a bad thing can end up leading to something a lot better. its easy to want control over everything, to just know where youre going. but life doesnt prejudice. even the most priviledged have mishaps. its just a small step to your future and ultimately you do still have to make choices and choose your path. and i trust that youll make it worhtwhile the entire way :)
@@QuonHowery02 this was so sweet, thank you for responding!! & yeah i agree the only thing left to do is to move forward n trust the process 🥺
title should be called "facts." i practically have almost the same qualities as you rip. they slowly go away as you grow older tbh. but hey, still got into yale and brown oof.
ay bro its all good we're the caterpillars turning into butterflies aint no stopping us
watching this video was like looking in a mirror
I transferred for high school, didn't care about my appearance, only had interest in videogames, self-conscious, etc.
*you are literally me*
Same the youtube algorithm is getting VERY specific now lmao
Shit bro why you tryna scare me like that LMAO
man I was hanging with gang members, skipping school, failing all my classes, etc. This guy seems just like he had a normal high school experience. Guess this made my high school life the king of losers
sheesh bro, lowkey sounds badass tho lol
I guess there's just different types of losers. It goes with perspective. I definitely thought I was a loser too, I never went out and everyone thought I was weird. Even if I did well academically I definitely failed socially.
It's probably just more on how we see ourselves than anything. I doubt you're a loser irl, you seem like a pretty smart and nice guy.
But yeah fuck high school from both sides of the spectrum lol
Task failed successfully
At least you're a king
@@QuonHowery02 lol i actually just got my BS in computer Science so I defiantly turned my life around. My problem with high school was I had a chip on my shoulder and I always thought I was the smartest person(which I wasn't) I always liked math but I didn't care for any other subjects really so I neglected those studies. But I exponentially humbled up, stopped hanging with those people and just grinded hard in college. I do feel bad for people who think that their some how losers though cause I struggle with that complex still even though I turned my life around and imposter syndrome
when you almost finish high school and realize everY one of his regrets apply to you too, but it's kinda too late O_O
LOL hey its all good i made all these mistakes and im still learning. its a process
this was so heartwarming. i totally relate to not caring about my appearance. i think it was more like self-loathing and i didn't take care of myself and my body as a result. i started realizing that eating so much junk food and not take care of my hygiene was a form of self-harm. thanks for talking about this :) i feel like this is rlly unique content on youtube.
I definitely agree, something I still struggle with tbh. I'm trying to get better about planning ahead and taking care of myself but it gets tedious. But yeah thanks! I'm glad you could connect :)
I was doing my biology hw once near the restrooms and I got laughed at by seniors so I definitely related to all of your experiences
laughing for what smh, people rude for no reason
as a fellow high school loser and recent college grad, most of what you say still stands in college. thank you so so so much quon for this video, everything in it is so valid and so important. there are a lot of regrets that i have regarding high school that carried into college, and i think the quality of my life definitely would've improved sooner if i realized my mistakes and my bad habits sooner.
to this year's graduating class, i wish you guys and early congrats and good luck! whether you got into your dream school or ended up going to a school lower on your list: as long as you work hard to make an impact wherever you go, you will be fine. take it from someone who got into their dream school and ended up having to go to their safety school instead, i came out the other end pretty happy with where i ended up. please take care of yourselves :)
thanks so much for sharing, and im really glad it worked out for you! just commenting to boost
“Don’t play violin if ur asian, unless ur really good”
I’m asian, play violin, and am not that good. But I love playing the violin 😭😭😭
You can keep playing it!!!! Do whatever is fun!!! Not everything has to be for college.
How long does it take to learn the basics and get used to playing violin?
then keep doing it. doesn't matter if you're having fun
@@Ichigo-dh9rd I play the violin for almost 7 years now. The most difficult part in the beginning is probably your posture which takes about 2-3 weeks to get comfortable with (at least for me). Trust me, posture is super important and be sure to learn it correctly or you will have a hard time unlearning and then relearning the correct way. I should also add that learning vibrato (usually after your first year of playing) is also really difficult and involves correct posture (took me over a year to do it correctly and naturally). But in the end, everything is dependent on practicing everyday. So you might get comfortable earlier if you spend more time practicing :)
@@Ichigo-dh9rd hi! it didn’t take me too long to learn the basics, once i started it just came to me after spending quite some time practicing. I would say it depends on how much time you really spend playing and practicing. For me getting past the basics was pretty simple, but after that more complicated skills took me quite a while to get right!
I'm glad you shared these out. There're tons of ppl who may have had similar experiences. Approaching these words with a serious and sincere attitude, not a stiff tone.
ofc, yeah just wanted to let other people know that theyre not alone. thanks for the kind words.
Dude the gaming thing and friendship on that, it is like my exact situation, in freshman year, got into fortnite really hard, made friends that played for title in my school, basically we played together everyday for a year, and in school too, we would only talk about fortnite , in my sophomore year end I stopped video games, as I lost a lot of time, as soon as I quit, my friends and I didn’t have any thing to talk abt, so now I’m junior year, i have no friends . PS ; I was in sophomore year during the past year aka the pandemic, and it forced me to play more and more!
rip, yeah even if theyre nice people its hard to maintain a friendship without having the same interests. i hope you find some new friends though, and im always down to chat. you got my support.
I’m a Junior too. I’ve seen both sides-believe me when I say that the best thing you can do is force yourself to get involved. Play a sport, challenge yourself, do some activity. If you want to make friends and meet people then put yourself in situations that will make it easy to. It doesn’t matter if you are socially awkward or have no experience and your domain-like anything else the you only get better through experience. If you have surface level friends that you meet through school or activities, the way you become great friends is by going out of your way to invite them to hang out in the weekends. Sometimes, it will take a long time to find your crowd, but you’ll get there eventually. You’re not alone.
I legit admire your persona so much
aw thanks man, i appreciate it
Actually I don't understand why people perceive "having no friends" as a failure.
What not accept the fact that everyone has different life style and personality, and respect the diversity?
Tru tru. I'm pretty antisocial and awkward just on my own. But it's just how people are. We're social animals and we judge and connotate certain characteristics as being negative. But hey, as long as you have that perspective you're a step up from everyone else. Good stuff, we like to see it :)
Yeah when we go back to in person school ima sit alone at the cafe for the first day till im comfortable for new friends since i cut out all my friends because i made a mistake in freshman to be "friends" with ppl i didnt even like so i didnt look "lonely" this year i wont be as desperate for freinds and will only allow ones i genuinely enjoy talking to. Who cares if my ex friend laugh at me for sitting alone, because "you shouldnt be afraid of having no friends you should be afraid of having bad friends"
I love how we can all relate because absolutely same!
We should start a friend group or something
thats literally me, I was always afraid of being seen alone. I'm honestly tired of my "personality" being shaped by social standards. It's so exhausting and thanks to quarentine which had me rethinking my whole life. I realized that I had only been living it for others, and im sick of that. Once I go back to school (right now I'm a freshman in online school) Im planning to just be myself for once and see where that gets me
@@jjoo1420 omggg yesss quarantine really gave me self reflection and knowing my worth. I won’t be as desperate for friends cause that lead me to bad friends. This year I will put myself before others, and who cares if I sit alone, I’m going to be using that time to benefit me instead of seeing that as a “lonely” thing
@@kellynonicr856 YESSSS, I literally wish we could be friends, cause it seems like we are living the same life. I'm tired of being a yes-man, a people pleaser, and super desperate to fit in.I put too much value of my image and overthinking what people might think about me if I did this or I did that. I also noticed that I end up hanging out with the bad kids as well, that talk crap about me behind my back just for the sake of others not thinking i'm alone. And honestly all of that ruined my mental health. And thanks to quarentine, I just starting to get myself together, by being productive and trying new things, and Im slowly finding myself. People see quarentine as a curse but I see it as a blessing in disguise (expect for the people dying part) at the end of the day, everything happens for a reason.
Too bad I'm a senior that has already went through the college admissions process and committed to a school lol--this would've been very very very helpful four years ago. But thanks for all your videos, they are all so frickin' helpful, probably wouldn't be going to college without your help lol
lol of course, im glad my vids helped a bit anyways
This reminds me of my freshman year when I would go and spend lunch period in a bathroom stall because I was too scared to sit by myself on the days my friend was absent. I still feel so embarrassed that I would do that. Thank god for my friend though, because without her I would have been completely alone.
Holy shit lunch period was always so scary. Just never wanting to be seen alone and walking around like I had someplace to be 💀 not fun
asjhasjdskajd i'm so nervous for irl school because i really don't wanna end up feeling left out and humiliated TToTT esp for sports ack
I’m too scared to sit in the lunch hall so I just don’t eat 😔
BRUHHH I LITERALLT DID THE SAME EXACT THING BUT EVEN WHEN MY “FRIENDS” WERE THERE
man im just finishing medical school and this was recommended to me. you're real as hell. and lowkey very funny. You're gonna do big things. good luck!
real, funny, and bound for success? LMAO
but tyty i appreciate it
I really love how genuine your content is, this is the first genuine youtuber I've seen not affected by ego or society or anything, its really refreshing and restores my hope in humanity, and I also relate
I’m a senior rn, and I definitely agree with all of your advices. Especially to not take 5 APs in your senior year.... 😳
legit my biggest regret oml i hated it
OMG I LOVED THIS VID I WAS SAD ABOUT GOING BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL AS A JUNIOR BUT THIS WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME IT HAD TO BE A SIGN FROM GOD TO HELP
YUPP MANIFEST THOSE GOOD YEARS
Your channel was recommended to me not long ago and I’m glad I turned on the notification 🔔 since the videos are very credible af!!!
During freshman year i used to walk around the school cuz i had no friends 😭😭 thought eating in the bathroom only happened in movies but nah i was doing it once i got to hs. felt really lonely, stopped trying in school, and overall stuff went downhill .-. rn i’m finishing sophomore year and hopefully i can switch schools and gain my motivation back :)
im so sorry. hey you got another 2 years to try and even if it doesnt work out, high school is just a chapter in your life. still plenty more pages in your book to write
@@QuonHowery02 thank you so much :)
@@motunrayoo5624 of course :)
I’m in high school, I’m on the tennis team and I’m in orchestra and I also am addicted to video games, I wanted to thank you for giving real advice. Thank you so much. I know others also said they find it relatable but regardless I wanted to thank you for being genuine and helping me. Thank you :)
It's always a great day when the Goat Quon posts.
hey, you are not a loser, you are like an inspiration to us🙃
believe me~~
thanks for this video
aw ty 😊
ofc, thanks for your support
YOU'RE SO VOCAL ABOUT YOUR STRUGGLE AND CHALLENGES AND I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL FOR IT!
THANK YOU!!!
This is hands down the best advice I’ve heard in a while, especially the end about the college selection process being more on luck. Most of my accomplishments came from music like all state and youngarts, and my gpa was a solid 4.0 but most top schools rejected me ranging from Cornell to USC. It can be a bit disheartening, but that doesn’t mean that I wasted my time in high school. I might be a senior about to graduate currently😂but I hope people learn from this and find joy in whatever they do. It’s not about which high school or college you go to, it’s what you make of it
Exactly. Everything is what you make of it.
Thx for the vid. I keep doubting myself which messes up with my mental health. I was straight up rejected from so many schools I really wanted to attend. I just keep thinking that Im a loser and deserve nothing. But hey, ur vids actually make me think again.
man you're so much better than whatever schools rejected you. i'm still a loser, even if i got into nice school. you can do so much just by yourself, you got this man
I completely connect with you on that high school experience. I had a bunch of friends in middle school, decided to go to the same high school just to find that I just didn't really fit in with them. I eventually decided to leave my friend group freshman year and spent the next 4 years of high school alone. My insecurities definitely took a big hit because of this decision but I'm honestly glad I did it. I realized that I was much more comfortable being by myself than with a bunch of people that didn't really have anything in common. I eventually stopped caring about my appearance and felt much happier. Your advice are very genuine and I'm glad you're able to get through that high school experience. I'll be starting college next fall so wish me luck 🙏
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
as a people-pleaser i'm taking ur advice to HEART :) thanks for speaking faxxxxxx
course man, and yeah just gotta say no sometimes and place some more self-worth on yourself
This ruined my life and warmed my heart in the best way
Thank you 😭 literally one of the nicest things anyone has said
you seem like you'd be such a great friend. love how real and genuine ur content is!!
thanks man, appreciate it
Fr
Thank you for being vulnerable. There is nothing worse than having to sit by yourself at lunch at such a young age when you can’t anchor to yourself. You should be very proud of yourself, and all of that you accomplished. keep rocking!
This is so true. For the up and coming high schoolers please do not kill yourself over AP classes if you want to get into top schools, only take a few each year and focus on a specific spike in your application to make yourself stand out. I have seen people take 20 AP classes and only get into local colleges because they had nothing specifically unique. I’m currently in 8 AP classes, a college math class, and a ton of clubs and it is genuinely not worth it.
Sheeeesh bro, 8?? Rip sleep schedule
@@QuonHowery02 lmao I’m taking none and still don’t have enough time for myself
@Mank Hobley just do whatever’s good for you, don’t sacrifice mental health for brownie points on ur college apps, focus on stuff u like doing and that’ll shine through if that’s what u care abt
@@QuonHowery02 never finished my reply but i got into MIT and Berkeley and a few others, high school was never a very enjoyable experience but I imagine it will payoff in the long run… anyways, thank you for the amazing video! i definitely watched it at a time when i needed it
@@catgirlowthat was me when I was in high school LOL
Dude you’re so funny and real. Keep posting I love your content (that’s an understatement. I’m really actually addicted...)
LOL thank you! appreciate the support
Ngl I feel like we would be good friends lol. I can relate to the gaming aspect and not engaging in other parts of social culture - I would be the guy who would sit and smile awkwardly while others around me would be jamming to some popular song. I would think too much about how others thought of me and it really impacted my self esteem. Great video man. You have a great future
Thanks man. I'm always down to make more friends, don't have that many anyways lol. 100% relate to the song thing too oml. And hey if I have a great future you do too :)
Thanks for the video man. I'm going into freshman year this fall and I'm pretty anxious.
ofc, good luck to you man. it gets less scary i promise
this is probably the most helpful advice video for high school ive seen. thank you for sharing your experiences to help others learn and grow. knowing that someone has been in the same situation as me is comforting, but the advice you gave can really help me
Of course, and yeah for me it's just a matter of not caring who sees this video lol. I think it's a good trade to help other people who might be going through the same thing.
That last bit about the flawed system is comforting, thank you. I find myself, even as a freshman in high school, screening all my actions based on what colleges will want or like, and it’s nice to be reminded that it’s important to just go after what you want rather than what colleges want because admissions is wack af. Sorry for the poor wording it’s late.
Lol dont worry you made perfect sense. Doing something you like and are good at will likely make colleges interested in you inherently anyways, so its all around a good play
Your future is going to be amazing
Your awareness is tough to conclude but also great motivation...good luck and these videos will help a lot of people more than you might realize
thanks man, yeah i hope it works out lol
Bruh thanks for this, i’m going through my last year of highschool rn after being late for two years and homeschooled for 9 years
I have motivation now and I’m sure alot have been motivated as well, so thank you again
Glad to hear it man. And nothing wrong with being homeschooled either, everyone has a unique situation. Have fun for the time left!
Okay, this video made me laugh out loud on the subway here in Seoul. You have a really funny dry storytelling style, love it! 화이팅~
lol thank you!
this video was so helpful thank you!! im a junior in high school and spent most of it so far with low self confidence and horrible social skills, but when i go back to in-person school next year im gonna be myself and enjoy my last year as much as i can :)
Hell yeah enjoy it!
You're completely right about addiction to video games. And in general, just learn from your mistakes. And you're definitely not a loser and I like the musical intro.
this was the most relatable vid thank you😭
ofc! i know high school can be brutal fr
The amount that I connect with this is insane. Thanks so much for the advice!
course man, the quo/ans gotta stick together
CollegeBoard is discontinuing their subject tests :(
oh damn i was not aware, thanks for updating me
@@QuonHowery02 they're removing essay later too lmao
the essay on the sat?
@@QuonHowery02 yeah
@@QuonHowery02 "We will also discontinue the optional SAT Essay after the June 2021 administration." - college board
This video made me slow down and reflect about life. Thanks for making one of the most comforting videos I've seen in a long time ;)
Im just glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching :)
Hope it isn't too late to use some of this stuff as a high school junior 😅
Anyways thanks for the advice bro, this stuff doesn't get the views that college reaction videos do but they really should.
of course man. never too late to try to change for the better. lol its alright, its not really everyone's cup of tea
I love the way you share your story. It's so raw and real, thanks brother.
No problem man, thank you for the support
I just finished watching all your videos...I love the way you talk to be honest
Wow you are so realistic and gave genuine advice. I really appreciate that, wish u all the best
Thank you! I wish you the best too
The fact that he acc takes time to reply to every comment😭 much respect fr
ofc!! i love when i have conversations w people in comments, people are so positive
This made me cry , you are an amazing person you shine thru the screen I love your honesty , I'm gonna show your account to my little brother he needs this advice from someone who is honest❤❤
definitely relatable a senior right now got into harvard, and yale
congrats man! onto better things
Hey man, your life Advice really helped me and made me reflect. This was a video I actually needed. You sounded so genuine and this video was really nice. Thank you so much.
I am currently in my last school year and want to apply to a US university as an International and feel ton of pressure. But I know this is the best for my future.
Again, thank you for your video. Both life and academic advice really helped.
Btw I downloaded CoC yesterday for the memories and I just deleted it again after this video! You actually encouraged me to save a lot of time ;)
Glad it helped! Also lol that's the best move to make, I'm starting to get back into clash royale 💀 i need to listen to my own advice
this is my 3rd time watching this video since it was uploaded. i have a long ways to go but your channel is one of the most helpful resources i have found. thank uuu!
Wowww, honestly this vid feels like a sign to me. I actually cried watching this (can’t believe I did too haha). It almost felt as if a friend was sitting down with me and giving me genuine advice.I feel this vid really resonated with me, and it jus hit different because I’m still in high school. I can only hope I can change for the better to be much happier and healthier 😢. Thank you for this vid, truly.
Hey I'm glad I could help. I really wish the best for you. It can be really hard to change, and I don't think I'm that much different from high school. But it just takes time and as long as you have a direction in mind, you'll head that way.
I’m in 8th grade rn and I’m constantly terrified of the thought of high school. It just feels so terrifying to think that I’m already at this stage of my life. Especially because Ill be going to a magnet school where I know pretty much no one. Looking at my life rn i fee like a complete idiot. The amount of time I’ve wasted is ridiculous. Thanks for all the tips! I think it will definitely help me once the time comes.
Hey man don't worry about it. You still have a LOT of time ahead of you. And seems like you're already motivated anyways, you'll do great things.
im a senior at beckman right now in irvine too and im really going through it with 5 APs. i moved here from vietnam sophomore year and that loner phase seriously is not for the weak. i came from your other most recent vid and i am grateful for being able to watch it at this time while im getting all the college decisions back.
This was so real & genuine !!! thanks for sharing your life experiences . I learned a lot 💓
Wow thank you this was really nice. I unfortunately loaded up on APs my senior year and I’m kinda regretting it lol but I’m powering thru!
This was much needed..came across your yt channel with the college app videos you seem super really real and cool!! Tysm for the advice!!!!!!
ofc!!! and im not that cool lol but thank you
i'm going to high school very soon and i find this sosoosososso informational i just had to subscribe!! thank you so much for this video, all the things you listed and the way you were so thorough with each topic was just perfect. you're so well-spoken and i could feel how genuine you were through the screen :) thank you again for the big brother advice !! i hope you're happy and healthy during these times
lol thank you!! and im glad you liked the video!
NOICE ADVOICE DUDEEEEEE! I will take this information and use it from now on. 🙏🏽
TYYY YOU GOT THIS
I really really enjoyed this video. I appreciate how real and raw you are and I really admire that about you. I’m in high school and this has actually really changed my point of view so thank you :)
course man, glad it helps
but also dont take my advice too seriously in case it doesnt help you LOL
I relate to this so much bcz in my highschool junior years I lost myself in academics so much and I regretted not trying to take care of my appearance and make connections and after a while I begun to realize how lonely I was and how almost everyone else around me seemed to like 'know their style' and have good bonds. Now that I'm in senior year I've grown from this mindset and made changes to make the most of the final years 💫
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
11:14 “Don’t play violin if you’re Asian unless you’re really good at it” uh oh lollllll
lmaooo its a bit late for a LOT of us but oh well
@reese _182 everyone plays violin! It’s not special (like piano) unless you’re EXTREMELY good
@@cheerio1569 HAHAHHAHAHA i just say I don't lol
luckily im an asian that plays saxophone in a jazz band, so that's pretty unique
I’m a current high school loser. I don’t have a friend group, im not in any clubs, I never stay after school, I skip assemblies, i’ve never been to any sort of school event even once. The last time I made a genuine friend was in middle school. My best friends who I had since 5th grade dropped me a year ago. I often feel pathetic because of this, everyone seems to have at least one friend. I have made friends in class, but they’re only school friends. Worst of all, if I get into a class with them again they won’t talk to me. this has happened four times now. I believe it is because I never try to rekindle the friendship, I always have a blank face, and I have grown so accustomed to being alone I unconsciously sabotage the relationship for myself. I really feel like a total loser. my grades are average, though they’re much better now. I felt seen when you shared your story because I often feel like I am the only one. I am extremely self conscious about what other people thing of me, but in a slightly different way. I take great care of my appearance but at the same time slack completely. I won’t wash my face but I will spend an hour choosing an outfit. It makes no sense. I am afraid of talking to people, but I love doing presentations and talking in front of crowds. I know I said I don’t have any clubs, but I joined one for the first time this year. it was a business club of course for nerds and I enjoyed it, but I failed miserably. everyone there was actually smart and i’m just a slacker who only does work when it’s interesting. I enjoy business and especially desktop applications but I was the only one in my schools club who didn’t get a medal after making it to state. I felt so out of place I left early. I always feel like there’s no real place I belong, my hobby is gaming but I don’t even play popular games so there’s no gamer friends for me too have. I love fashion but my sewing is terrible. I love baking but i’m subpar. I never do proper makeup due to my laziness so I feel alienated from the fashion community of the style I like, and well so on and so forth. I am not even sure why I rambled so much, you being vulnerable made me feel comfortable enough to be, too. Have a good day.
This is eye opening dude, thank you for being so brutally honest. I had to learn some of these things the hard way, and still am learning from my mistakes; your video is really motivating in how simple it is. Gonna keep your tips in mind. Thank you 💪
Hey man, I'm glad that you want to improve. That's all that matters. And as long as you keep wanting that, and working towards it, you'll definitely get to where you want to be.
my only regret in hs was not asking you out to winter formal 🤧🥺
ask me to hoco
"got used to being alone" 😫
pain 😢
Sorry to hear that but I kinda did, too 😢😢
I have 2 years of school left and this vid opened some things I hadn't thought about.thanks
glad it helped :)
I relate to all of them especially the gaming one. I spent so many hours on Rainbow Six Siege, but I haven't played for a few years. 1000 hours and I have nothing to show for it. They updated the game so much I'm not even good anymore. Btw you're looking good man I couldn't even tell you had acne scars
Shit I definitely feel you. They suck you in like that, making it so that you have to constantly keep up and stay updated. Good thing to get out sooner, you've probably saved a lot more than 1000 hours by stopping. And thanks man. Seriously makes me happy 😁
Wow! Thanks so much for being real, this is a really good video :D
Of course! Glad you liked it :)

Love this! I’m inspired by your self reflection and self awareness.
Yo like I can definitely relate, i started doing the things you recommend in this video. Like really i relate to everything you just said.
Ok I wrote a comment on here but yt is trippin so apologizes if u see this twice. Anyways yea I go to a competitive hs in the east coast and everyone is so fkn smart lmao. I'm like 1 out of idk like
damn thats tough, i don't get why high school was so stressful lol, we're literally like 15-16. and lol yah definitely doing better
Very helpful. As a senior in hs right now, a lot of things you are talking about, especially the bit about videogames, resonates with me. Thanks for the vid
of course. and just enjoy the rest of your year man, good stuff on making it this far
Now officially one of my favorite channels:) So much more relatable than UA-camrs that use their platform to flex or present unrealistic growth.
Ty!!
Same here!!
I remember coming to your channel way back last summer when I was scramming to write my essays... I'll be starting in August, just like all the freshmen starting a fall semester. I was hoping you could make a video on tips for college 'survival' specifically as a freshmen; what's the educational shift from HS to College like, maybe some study techniques, or tips on getting used to the format of college classes/lectures? You have helped us this far in the process by taking us through the building block steps, but I thought you could maybe also help the newbies out too lmao. Wish u the best!
thats a good video idea too! i'll keep that in mind and hopefully make one soon lol
and thats absolutely crazy its been that long, what a year
@@QuonHowery02 lol it sometimes feels like we've been in March ever since😭
seriously it's kinda scary, it's almost not real
I literally love you for this
Thanks
I'm glad this was in my recomandation. The whole atmosphere is chill and relaxing.
Unfortunately I'm in a quite difficult situation as I can't go outside at all (I haven't left the house for 1 year and 1 month) I don't have the best environment to learn, to feel safe, to strive for a better academic life while it's hard to remain alive, I might not be here in the next few years but this motivated me that, if I try it will not hurt.
While you were talking about socialiazing and friends I started crying lol since I couldn't met up with them for 1 year and a half. I can't even get to the hospital but at least I have a friend who talks to me sometimes. It feels nice
Sorry for the "trajique comment". It was on a Impulse since now I'm much calmer because of your video and I can analize better what I have and can do.
Have a sunny day🌞
Sorry for this whole message
Hey. I'm glad you left a comment. I don't know your entire situation but I really hope you're doing ok. I'm glad my video helped. I hope you keep finding things that make you feel better, and just know that you're strong. If you ever need to talk I'm here.
Holy shit bro, that was some genuine advice, you seem like the kind of guy who I could sit with one day and just have a deep conversation for like 2 hours. And for that you get a sub
Shiii man thank you! Appreciate it and welcome to the gang 😎
I’m so glad someone went through the same as me.This is giving me great comfort because my father made me research on different majors to do for college.It’s stressful 😅
this was like talking to a friend ... really nice video dude appreciate it!
Man your videos are so therapeutic
man, I know exactly what it is like to sit alone during lunch; in fact, I sat alone all the time at lunchtime in high school...no one ever walked up to me except for the occasional yard duty teacher seeing a loner sticking out like a sore thumb, really appreciate you sharing your story
I appreciated your honestly in the videos, I can relate to your experience in more than one ways in high school. Im sort of going through the same problem as you are in my junior grade, and because you shared this experience you inspired me to do better than i was yesterday. Thank you.
Hey man thanks for sharing. And I'm really glad you're choosing to improve yourself! Rooting for you. You got this.
BRUH I go to Irvine and I moved from LA but I moved when I was fairly young. I still relate with things you discussed as a junior... thanks so much man for the advice
I gotchu
LA >>

Yoooo congrats man!!! That's fuckin crazy
Transferring to a new hs this coming year, watching this made me feel a little bit better about it. Thank you for keeping it real and giving legit tips, definitely going to keep this vid in mind.
Glad to hear. You got this!
