hearing Ashley's freshman experience be so similar to mine is actually so relieving to hear. The struggle of only wanting your family, being so alone, and coming home multiple times a week hit home SO HARD
I was literally going to say the same thing!!! I go to a commuter university so everyone just goes for classes and hen go home so it's so hard to like actually make friends beyond surface level
going into my 4th year but couldnt agree more abt changing majors if youre unhappy. blindly went into biochemistry cuz i didnt know i could do pre dental with any degree as long as i have the pre reqs. depressed af in my classes and did bad. thankfully i finally switched to health psychology after taking a psych elective which i really enjoyed! tho i will be taking a 5th year, my advice to everyone is to not expect college/uni to be a linear path. not everyone has the same experiences and not everyone is accustomed to the busy and hectic lifestyle! take it all in at your own pace. if you feel 5-6 classes is too much workload, take 3-4. i learned the hard way but you always have to put you and your mental health first. not everyone is expected to graduate in 4 years flawlessly. there will be challenges but you will get through it. just know what u want and who you are! and have fun!! ❤❤
I just read the description and found out that ur family dog passed away. Omg my heart dropped. So sorry for your loss. ❤️❤️ Take ur time guys. On the bright side, ur family has soooo many memories of bubby on video for ever and ever. And he brought so much joy to others that way too. Love you guys ❤️🐾🙏🏾
I feel like something I would say to first years being in my second year is you don’t have to do things the way other people do. And what I mean by that is your mental state and physical health will be so much better when you figure out what works best for you. That could mean living at home or doing online or just going to school to get your degree. Yes college can be fun and try everything you want to do but it’s ok also if it doesn’t work out that way. Just give yourself time and space and you’ll feel a lot better. Good luck freshman!🫶🏼
Yes!! Changing my major from biology to hospitality management saved my life 😭 Changing your major sounds so scary, because of the unknowns, but if you’re paying for your education you should study something you’re passionate about.
Peer pressure is not cool!! I am so happy you two brought that up! Real friends don’t peer pressure. I don’t drink ever either and I’ve always said no firmly but I know it’s not as easy for some people. Let’s normalize not drinking if you don’t want to!!
thank you amber and ashley for this podcast!! i’m going to college in september as a freshman and i was getting so anxious 😭 but hearing your guys’ experiences and advice was very reassuring ❤️
omgg the high school brag part is sooo accuarte...so this girl was from a prestigious high school and istg for a whole year 2 WHOLE SEMESTERS she would bring up like the whole school name in random convos like broooooo just so people know she is from a "TOP" school.... my friends and i talked about it this summer and confessed that we all found it weird then and we never mentioned it before but thank God we found out that she turned to be an EXTREME level people pleaser that will make you look bad so that profs or other students know she is "smart" she wasnt actually smart and she just said anything that she THOUGHT was correct anywayssss i just found it shocking that amber literally mentioned my EXACT experience lol
the international student shopping for a Porsche in front of you is SO real!!! Lol also networking is really important. I was very naive and was like ohhh my college degree will be enough and show I can work for whoever! but then I graduated and realized oh wait… half of the jobs don’t even make it to LinkedIn because only people who know people even hear about the job. You don’t have to be weird about it but I think internships and making connections through career-based clubs is very important. obviously don’t just be friends with someone because their mom is some CEO lol
as an english major i just cannot use chatgpt for my literature classes because it literally does not help at all and i prefer writing on my own butttt for my minor classes like ed psych and comms i literally only use it for more explanation because the field is broader and research takes foreverr so i think chatgpt is helpful in that way
im in first year of university and i miss high school so much :(( in australia we dont really have the american college experience like everyone stays at home, theres no big sports games or frats/soroties where you can meet new people so most people just go to class and then leave. very different to high school when ur with the same people all the time and its more communal :( 2:43 related too muchh
this is literally perfect timing! starting university going into first year on monday the 26th... greatly appreciate the perspectives Amber and Ashley!!!
i relate to ashley so harddd like i went to gwu for a semester and immediately knew i wanted to transfer😭 i also think i wasn’t ready bc i loved/missed my family so much and couldn’t handle the dorm situation LMAO
I never drank or did drugs and the peer pressure people seemed creepy to me too. I was in a quad as a freshman and I didn't like my first set of roommates. I switched rooms and I loved my second set. Sophomore year, I lived in my frat house. That was a lot of fun. They all drank and did various drugs, mostly pot but also some psychedelic's. For the most part, I liked all of the guys but the drinking and drugs got on my nerves. They were pretty good about not pressuring me. I felt like I was the one trying to influence them to stop being stupid with the drinking and drugs. A few of them have subsequently died. I think people underestimate just how bad that stuff can be. I am a lot older than you guys but ever since I graduated college, I have had a reoccurring dream that I went all the way through school except for one class that I just never went to and didn't even know what days I had the class but then I had to take the final and I was totally unprepared.
I am going to school this fall as a transfer student 😭 I have been in community college for awhile now and I think it helped me figure out what I wanted to do and study. A lot also happened during my time in community college which I think would have been way different if I were in a four year school (covid, being indecisive with my major, taking time off, etc). I agree with ashley on how attached I am to my family which Is why i stayed local ( also because i love sd) and why I didn't see the appeal to dorming that itself sounds like a different headache tbh. I am still nervous to attend a bigger school than what I am used to and it feels so surreal.
was having such a bad week because i first started college and i havent been feeling great :( but as soon as i saw a new bts podcast i immediately just got so happy
Ashley , I must say , I am surprised that you were quiet and reserved in college..I mean from your vlogs I always got the vibe like the it girl vibes but wow u can never tell where one is coming from .. ❤ also one of my majors was English and It didn’t really matter to me so sometimes when deadline was close, I chat gpted 😂 I mean it’s okay still had to write exams .
hs senior and im applying to colleges in a few months. i am SO nervous but so excited ab this bc ill be moving out and starting my own....independent...era.. grinned when I saw this :3
I have to confess that I didn’t like the intro the first 2/3 times I heard it BUT NOW IM FULL ON DANCING TO IT! At night I wanna sleep but I CANT CAUSE ITS SISTERSISTERS SISTERS BEBEBEAUTIFUL TWIN SISTERSSS playing in my head!!!
Here I am in my second year of my master’s, fully invested in this as if I didn’t just get through the whole college experience 😂♥️ But honestly, I agree with almost everything!
I screwed up first year so bad, didn’t attend any of my lectures second semester, didn’t talk so much that it would hurt to talk because my jaw was closed for so long- it’s ok we have 2nd year 🥳
as an english major, i don't use chatgpt and don't know of any other english majors that use AI to help them write (at least often). i think it can be a good tool at times, however i also think everyone has the ability to write! people put a lot of pressure on themselves to write perfectly, especially those who aren't writing consistently. i wish i could tell everyone writing is not about being perfect or knowing all the answers. writing in your own voice is what makes your writing special and worth reading!
38:03 I never leave comments but I felt seen when Ashley said this. I had too much time on my hands and wasnt used to it, I didnt know how to be alone and thats something I wish someone had told me in my first year of university :')
Not a college freshman but I will gladly listen to this new episode! It could be useful even for my last year at uni ahah Edit : the selfcare part was much needed 🥲🫶🏼
I'm 29 and about to enter grad school, some of this still helped me! My four years of undergrad were kind of lame because they were in my hometown and it was like ehhhh. But I moved far away and no one is going to know me now, which is scary and exciting. I'm pretty comfortable being alone, just ready to not be KNOWN!
I definitely relate with how Ashley described having a boyfriend in college. Sure it depends on the situation, but we were in a long-distance relationship, so I had to set aside more time than usual for the bf. After we broke up, I instantly had more time to socialize during the latter half of college. Edit: I was an English major and I reached the part where they talked about AI. (Generative) AI was definitely frowned upon in our department. While I think it has merits, I want to be articulate in the language without much assistance.
Im doing exactly that; my first day of college is Monday and I WILL be picturing a mini Amber and Ashley on my shoulders bc I need my older sisters with me badly 😖
Hey Ashley, funny you say how some people graduate with a major they were not so happy with. For me, it is my minor choice. I am going in for a high school teacher and I just started my internship. I was chosen to teach Physical Education (which is my minor). PE is ok but since this is my internship I might pass on to continue teaching PE rather than English, which is my major. I feel a bit iffy with the idea, but who knows, I might enjoy it more than I think. It is kind of crazy how it turns out at the end of receiving your degree.
The orientation talks. LMAO. I started college in 2020 so I didn’t get an actual orientation. I remember we had this one like “speed dating event” but for making friends and it was so awkward and barely anybody did it😂😂😂
Loved this video !! I’m going university as a freshman and I’m so nervous cuz all my friends are going to community college so I’m so scared of having to make new friends😭😭
i move to university in the uk in like 3 weeks and im sooooo nervous, i keep telling myself that i will be more active and go to events and things to make friends but i dont know if it will work out bc i feel like a very awkward person and usually isolate myself as like a defensive tactic so i guess i just have to keep trying and not isolate myself from others and join new clubs. im just so nervous bc if i don't make friends ill feel so upset ahhhhhhh
I don’t drink, never have. But, I know enuf friends and family who’s lives or families have been ruined by alcohol. So no, I dont think Im missing too much. Good on u two to not get addicted to it 👍🏻
OMG no wonder why college just didnt feel all that special for me, I started during quarantine. I remember for my orientation the capacity got maxed out and I couldn't even join the live 💀💀💀
I’m graduating next semester and I have ZERO friends bc of my weird journey through college so far and I really wanna make friends but now I feel like I have NO social skills and how do I freaking talk to ppl and make friends??!!!!!! This podcast honestly helped but I still have so much social anxiety and kinda don’t know how to be a social human aaaaaa
anyone have advice for a college senior making friends? i have acquaintances but not close close friends and it seems like everyone already has their own group
Omg girl, I’m an English major and I DO NOT use Chat GPT for essay’s. Like why? Lol unless I need ideas for lesson plans and all as I am studying to become a teacher. I think Im becoming one in the wrong gen.😢
hearing Ashley's freshman experience be so similar to mine is actually so relieving to hear. The struggle of only wanting your family, being so alone, and coming home multiple times a week hit home SO HARD
I was literally going to say the same thing!!! I go to a commuter university so everyone just goes for classes and hen go home so it's so hard to like actually make friends beyond surface level
going to university as a first year in 2 weeks, THIS IS PERFECT AHHHHH :’D
YAYY GOOD LUCK!! U GOT THIS!!!🫡🩷
omg same! good luck!!
@@BeautifulTwinSistersPod TYYYY !!! 🫡🥹
100 % picturing a lil Ashley and amber on my shoulders this semester
i love that you guys shared that you don't drink and that you can still party if you want!!! everyone assumes that you have to
going into my 4th year but couldnt agree more abt changing majors if youre unhappy. blindly went into biochemistry cuz i didnt know i could do pre dental with any degree as long as i have the pre reqs. depressed af in my classes and did bad. thankfully i finally switched to health psychology after taking a psych elective which i really enjoyed! tho i will be taking a 5th year, my advice to everyone is to not expect college/uni to be a linear path. not everyone has the same experiences and not everyone is accustomed to the busy and hectic lifestyle! take it all in at your own pace. if you feel 5-6 classes is too much workload, take 3-4. i learned the hard way but you always have to put you and your mental health first. not everyone is expected to graduate in 4 years flawlessly. there will be challenges but you will get through it. just know what u want and who you are! and have fun!! ❤❤
Perfect timing! Baby is asleep for his nap and a new BTSP! HALLELUJAH 🙌🏽❤️
I just read the description and found out that ur family dog passed away. Omg my heart dropped. So sorry for your loss. ❤️❤️ Take ur time guys.
On the bright side, ur family has soooo many memories of bubby on video for ever and ever. And he brought so much joy to others that way too. Love you guys ❤️🐾🙏🏾

They filmed this before the tragic loss of Bubby
thank you amber and ashley for this podcast!! i’m going to college in september as a freshman and i was getting so anxious 😭 but hearing your guys’ experiences and advice was very reassuring ❤️
AW U GOT THISS!!!❤️
omgg the high school brag part is sooo accuarte...so this girl was from a prestigious high school and istg for a whole year 2 WHOLE SEMESTERS she would bring up like the whole school name in random convos like broooooo just so people know she is from a "TOP" school.... my friends and i talked about it this summer and confessed that we all found it weird then and we never mentioned it before but thank God we found out that she turned to be an EXTREME level people pleaser that will make you look bad so that profs or other students know she is "smart" she wasnt actually smart and she just said anything that she THOUGHT was correct anywayssss i just found it shocking that amber literally mentioned my EXACT experience lol
the international student shopping for a Porsche in front of you is SO real!!! Lol also networking is really important. I was very naive and was like ohhh my college degree will be enough and show I can work for whoever! but then I graduated and realized oh wait… half of the jobs don’t even make it to LinkedIn because only people who know people even hear about the job.

Wow, you just calmed my anxiety down and actually made me feel supported and excited for this new chapter . Thank you!!!
im in first year of university and i miss high school so much :(( in australia we dont really have the american college experience like everyone stays at home, theres no big sports games or frats/soroties where you can meet new people so most people just go to class and then leave. very different to high school when ur with the same people all the time and its more communal :( 2:43 related too muchh

*me watching this video sitting alone in my dining hall* guys it’s so chill no one cares if ur sitting alone
The way i had the exact same experience as amber, like i could say her story word for word and pass it off as myseld
I'm 29 and about to enter grad school, some of this still helped me! My four years of undergrad were kind of lame because they were in my hometown and it was like ehhhh. But I moved far away and no one is going to know me now, which is scary and exciting. I'm pretty comfortable being alone, just ready to not be KNOWN!
Perfect timing cuz u guys posted ryt after i was done doing my laundry
I’m very nervous because it’s my first year as a major in neuroscience technician I’m sure that after this episode, I’ll feel better💗💗
I feel the same way. I remember feeling terror in grade school and middle school.
They be coming at the right time to rescue me 🎀🎀

“Mom just lit up the class!” Amber: “the class…🤔”
this is so sweet what the heck🥲❤
moved to US (from PH) last April, so this is all new to me
i’m crying at the fact that amber would turn off her dorm lights without saying a word to her roommates 😭😭
Not this showing up at my actual first day back in college 😭🩷🩷
BTSP IS BACKK.❤🎉
you’re both the older sisters i wish i had 😽💗
32:21 I literally tought ashley was naked for a second 😂😂😂
