Comment if you would like to know more about anything else in the college admissions process or see a day in the life at Brown!
I have been highly inspired by Yes Theory and their message of seeking discomfort. I try to follow that mantra in my everyday life and this is how.
Alright this is crazy good... thanks for setting a standard 😂
Bro I love your videos!!
@@exing1OoO1 Haha I saw the Rubik's Cube and just HAD to comment! Finishing up my applications right now so thats why my upload schedule has been so terrible 😂
@@CubingEncoded That’s dope good luck man! Lol maybe you could film a reaction on mine and we could collaborate and make a video about how cubing helped us get into college 😆
@@exing1OoO1 yooo Im hella down! Gotta actually get into a school though haha. Hoping for my ED for WashU
@@CubingEncoded Oh sick I got into WashU RD and they flew me out to tour campus! It’s a really beautiful campus and it was a hard choice. Idk how UA-cam private messages work but I’d love to get your contact info and stay in touch!
You know, with people like you around I don't feel bad about being rejected cuz I know I stood no chance
Man that’s sort of a good way of looking at it, I’ve spent too long comparing myself to others and worrying about my applications not being good enough but this actually really helped out lol
in a society that values wealth over everything else, the key to happiness is not comparing yourself to others as much as you possibly can.
i was a shitty college student in an extremely competitive engineering program, and dropped out to eventually become a tradesman. Much happier now that i'm not in the rat race of engineering. Still regret what could have been, especially when i think about meeting past friends and family who i convinced that i was excited about engineering. But then i think about how much more free time i have to spend on myself. Fuck everyone else. I'm doin' me, and getting along just fine.
But don't get me wrong. Some derive happiness in leisure. Some derive it from hard work, as the video illustrated. Figure out which one of those two you want more, and either fuck off, or hit the books. Just don't ever compare yourself to others. Your life then revolves around what others want for you.
I had just watched another brown portfolio video, that wasn't accepted. I noticed that your video, unlike theirs, focused deeply on your passions and really convinced me that you actually did enjoy them.
the rap?
The rap?
I love that YESTHEORY reference! I just got accepted to Brown ED, glad to know that Brown students enjoy seeking discomfort :)
OMG Congratulations!
Thank you!

The ending should have been:
“At Brown, I know I will continue to be uncomfortable.”
Nooo that would be funny but rip
i saw that smooth Yes Theory reference of Seek Discomfort
bruh
@@charlieabowd8577 lmao Charlie u watching these types of videos now?
discomfort being synonymous with growth is so true
i love being a middle schooler watching these. this was AMAZING! congrats!
Dude I do all of these too and I've got to say that you are quite exceptional when it comes to each activity; awesome vid
You didn’t quote yes theory on “seek discomfort”?
I know a Yes Theory quote when I hear one! congrats brow- you defenatly deserve it!
I just came across this and noticed that you're graduating this year! Congratulations!!!!
Amazing-you really have a good taste about video editing and audio processing. Which software do you use?
Shengyuan Lu I just use iMovie... I saw your video too and it’s honestly so impressive
@@exing1OoO1 your video deeply inspired me when I made mine. thankyou.
Westfield represent! I'm a WHS alum and randomly came across your video lol. Congratulations on your admission to Brown! Best of luck.
YES THEORY FAM!!! Always Seek Discomfort- Congrats!!
This man is a hella cool dude. He does magic and he can solve a rubix cube in 5 seconds! Thats amazing bro! Loved your video
Love that you gave props to Yes Theory in your description. They really are great
oh my god i'm going to the same high school you were at! that is insane that I found your video on the internet and that's really surreal
Love the way you see discomfort! I need to adopt that mindset asap!
This is amazing. Definitely an inspiration for my video portfolio.
Woah this is the first time I've ever found someone else with the same last name
And of course they're more interesting than me in every way :((
daaaaamn, if that didn't get you in, you don't even need it. An ascetic mindset like that will take you very far in life, no matter which path you take. I would say good luck, but you already have enough discipline that you don't need it.
Americans need to understand that they live in a dystopia if it requires a whole ass documentary just to get in to a decent university. I have to laugh
Nice video! Congratulations on your acceptance!
This is amazing
you won the whhaaattt after less than a year of training?? youre crazy man props to you
Wait isn't that rubik's cube solve a literal world record???
It is currently 3.47 seconds which is insane. So is five seconds.
he had a PLL skip lol... so he gave himself an easy scramble
Congrats on getting accepted to Brown University!
Dude, your video inspired me a LOT!
this is amazing
I'm so inspired. Fellow speed cuber here 👋
Can you make a video on your stats and essays?
Why is all I could think of 'Yes theory' and there seek discomfort merch
That alarm sound triggers my fight or flight.
Congrats!!!
gah DAMN those magic clips - crazyy
great video! just wondering what song you used right after the alarm in the beginning? sounds amazing.
Middle school me would idolize this guy
That was really incredible
finally. somebody with talent
this is sooooo good. God bless, & know that Jesus loves you! weve got a dying world out here, so if you could take some of the love of God out to brown, you’d really be helping. hope you get in !!! (edit just saw u did CONGRATS :-)
Omg, it's just amazing, great👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
i’m amazed wow i love this sm
I LOVE discomfort!!!!
Yo this video's awesome! I'm also a cuber (if I found your correct WCA profile, it looks like we both went to NYC Winter 2017!), and I'm applying for class of '27. Is there a cube club at Brown?
great vid
well deserved acceptance
Manh this is impressive!
oh my boy smooth wit it
Yes theory would be proud
Seek discomfort is from yes theory
where did you get those playing cards from? I really like it
They are called memento mori
Hey! Congrats, this video is awesome...! Can I ask you what background music you used here? :)
Love the video! What're the names of the songs you used?
Nice Chris Ramsay cards
This was fuckin awesome, also I loved the seek discomfort, I'm assuming you are also inspired by the youtube channel, they make awesome stuff
wow, you´re inspirational :) keep up the great work :)
We share the same hobbies, that‘s pretty funny.
Hey, I also got into speedcubing first and then magic and am applying to Brown. I just wanted to ask you if you have any tips to get admission at Brown?
I would say that good academics is a must and a unique take on extracurriculars is a plus
@@exing1OoO1 examples?
And I will graduate high-school in 2023 hopefully :)

the tournament was organized by division based on ratings
@@exing1OoO1 oooh i see, thanks for the clarification!
Did u apply for media studies?
No I am an applied math-computer science major
You should have referenced Yes Theory. I am 99.9% sure you got the “seek discomfort” from them and it’s actually frustrating to see you not reference it as it was your main selling point and “stand out” in your response. To the admission officer, it would have seemed like YOU came up with this idea and they may have been impressed by you being able to draw these parallels, so I think this was a huge mistake and it was quite frustrating to see this. For future advice: reference any work or idea that came from someone else or else you will get in a lot of trouble.
You're right I will add it to the description. I never thought that this video would do as well as it did so even though I referenced Yes Theory in my application, I forgot to mention it here as this was mainly my platform for showing a few friends and family members. That was an oversight on my part and I am sorry if I came across as trying to steal that phrase or pretending to have come up with it on my own. However, I doubt that that phrase is what got me into college. That phrase would mean nothing without the 99% of my college application that I have not shared on UA-cam. Thank you for your diligence and I hope you can forgive me.
@@exing1OoO1 that’s awesome to see you take feedback like that: it shows a lot about your character. I didn’t want to come off as rude or anything and I truly believe you deserved everything and am really happy for you; however, I just wanted to give my view and some feedback. I wish you all the best at Brown and I know you will be really successful.
