OH MY GOD. I USED TO WATCH YOU WHEN I WAS YOUNGER BUT I NEVER SUBSCRIBED BECAUSE I DIDNT MAKE AN ACCOUNT AND EVENTUALLY I MADE ACCOUNT BUT COULD NOT REMEMBER YOUR USERNAME FOR THE LIFE OF ME. NOW I JUST FOUND YOU ON THE RECOMMENDED PAGE AND MY MIND IS BLOWN BECAUSE NOW YOUR IN COLLEGE
AHHHH NO WAY WELCOME BACK
LITERALLY THE SAME I was like, Oh my god she looks super familiar and then I saw the username and I was like NO FREAKING WAY
SAMEEEEEE
The same thing is happening to me except I haven't found her yet, all I remember is she had blonde hair a german (I think) accent and she made a video about the perks of being a girl
SAME
I WATCHED HER HAIR TUTORIALS, BUT I COULDN'T REMEMBER THE NAME. AND NOW WE'RE BOTH IN COLLEGE WOW
Another thing not to bring is candles, most dorms don't allow them! Rooms sprays are a great alternative!
I had a wax melter when I lived in a dorm which is another alternative!
I have a wallflower from B&BW and that is perfect for my door omg
+MakeupWithMonica good idea too!
My college obviously doesn't allow candles, but I brought and burned sooooo many candles last year at school. The nice smells are obviously something that can be substituted but the light that the candles gave off gave my room a really nice vibe.
Keep in mind that your roommate(s) may be allergic to sprays, so a wax melter or even incense is a good alternative too. Be careful that the smoke from the incense doesn't set off the smoke detector.
There are also humidifiers that you can add scented essential oils to that smell awesome and last a long time. You can find those at most GNC supplement shops and on their website.

Saved you time 😁
I'm weak 😂 I really didn't to listen to her explain something that wasn't that deep
Omll thanks, I'm still bringing my favorite mug, thoo
I used mugs every single day because I was constantly making tea and coffee in my room..just a tip if you don't want to pay for coffee everyday just make your own!
She never paid for coffee it was free on the meal plan. Most colleges have coffee on the meal plan. Mine had a starbucks on campus for free.
eLLiLopez24 It was part of the meal plan which was included in tuition. If you didn't have a meal plan you had to pay. Most upperclassmen didn't have a meal plan since they had kitchens in dorms or lived off campus.
Ya
what school do you go to? cause mine has the same thing
Or just get a coffee maker..? Lol jk
What not to bring to college: guns.
Good one
😒
+Annemijn vGard bruh it's true though
savage
my school has an armory so that students may bring hunting guns and archery equipment. Students must call ahead and sign a form in order to take their equipment out.
At my college most professors don't allow laptops in class so you really do need a notebook for every class and a lot of times it's actually easier especially in math and science classes to take notes on paper so that you can draw diagrams and stuff. Also in my elementary education program a lot of the professors have course packs, a big stack of printed papers you need for the class, so I actually had two binders for one class last semester. I also had a loose leaf textbook my freshman year that needed a binder. So I really do think it's important to get school supplies ahead of time, especially if you know you won't have a car or some easy way to get to a Walmart or some place because college bookstores are stupid expensive. I mostly use a folder and notebook for each class, two or three 1" binders, pencils and pens of course, highlighters, and a package of basic note cards for if you decide you want to make flashcards for studying (a technique I never used in high school but use all the time in college). A file organizer to keep everything in one spot and not lying everywhere is also super helpful.
Kaveri Sharma - I don't know if you deleted your comment but I got it in my email. I go to Central Michigan University. Some professors allow laptops or even require them but in my 3 years there I've used my laptop for notes in maybe 3 classes. I've had 2 professors that had all of their notes in course packs and about 5 or so professors (some who I've had multiple classes with) that did not allow laptops in their classes. Most of them being teachers that include a lot of diagrams and pictures within their notes or just professors that think that laptops are more of a distraction than a help.
sorry to be random but thank you for saying this. I'm over stressing weather to buy or not supplies for college soon and I'm taking your word! thanks once again. this help
Yamilet Rodriguez No problem, glad that I could help! :)
+Yamilet Rodriguez I'm studying physics in university. Like Katherine said, if your courses are in the same category as physics, you will have a hard time wi th a laptop, you will definitely need a notebook because of all the amount of special symbols, calculations that sometimes aren't clear if you use a laptop, diagrams and illustrations that would take ages to do on a computer
+Elen Vogiatzi thank you! I'm doing Dental Hygienist at a community college first, I may transfer to a University and see how that goes. thank you so much once again and school supplies are already coming out, so I better go get cute notebooks lol thanks once again!😄
If you're lazy like me, bring a printer! If I had to real quick print something before class you will not feel like walking to the library to print one little thing!
i know for my school we get $100 of printing credit per semester and printing one page is like 10 cents so it's almost impossible to go through all of the money and wireless printers weren't allowed in the dorms, we also have a program you can download on your laptop so you can automatically print to a school printer and all you have to do is tap your ID and it prints. so in my case a printer would have been a waste of money. but it does depend on the school and the person!
make sure is a laser printer if not youll have to buy ink once a month
I'm so jealous. my uni doesn't give us free printing credit. The best we have for next year is free prints that stick an advert at the bottom of the page.
Yesssss, when class is in 30 minutes and you don't feel like walking!!!
if you and your significant other are totally happy in your relationship, I don't really see the point in just letting it go. it's totally possible to have your space in college and still be committed to someone, and if as you go it doesn't work out then it doesn't work out but I just don't think it makes sense to break up if you're both happy in your relationship.
I go to school in New York and my boyfriend goes to school in Florida and we still have a blast at school and don't let our relationship ruin our college experience! i know everyone is different but thought I would share my story!
+Kelly Rose distance does make you appreciate each other more! we are 1000 miles away and I always try go visit him for our Anniversary every year. it's always a great time and a Florida vacation for me! FaceTime is our best friend and now going on 4 years I don't think college is an issue!
Thank you for sharing! I love when someone shares their opinion and is kind about it!
i agree me and my boyfriend have been together for nearly 2 years and im only 2 hours away. We agreed that i should take advantage of my experience but just because you are dating someone doesnt mean you cant have fun. I can still have male friends that I want to go out with and etc its just a level of respect you have to follow and an understand with eachother our distance isnt that far (again only 2 hours) so i think it will create a healthy distance where we appreciate eachother.
#HighSchoolMusicalLife
My sister and her boyfriend dated all four years of high school and all four years of college. Now he is in medical school and she is a teacher, they are still together and now engaged! Also, my cousin dated his high school sweetheart throughout college and now they are married with three beautiful children. A healthy relationship does not restrict either person. Both my cousin and my sister were able to have their own friends and their own experience, they were just lucky enough to be able to share it with someone who they loved. This video makes a good point about relationships, but it really does depend on the individuals and the relationships between them. My neighbor decided to break it off with her boyfriend before college because they did not have the healthiest relationship and she knew it would just get worse. You just have to do what works for you!
School supplies is definitely heavily dependent on what school you go to and what classes you take! For writing-intensive classes you really don't need much (aside from your laptop of course!), but if you're in many science or math classes (or any really), notebooks are a must! I just prefer binders to folders because you can organize them more, but it's really up to you!
Pillows! Don't bring a ton of pillows because they just get in the way and annoying to throw them off ur bed and pick them all up in the morning:)
I'm so glad you're making these at the BEGINNING of the summer!!! Makes everything easier for upcoming college freshman!!!
I think she meant that dating in college is hard and takes up too much time. She isn't saying that you shouldn't have a bf, she means you shouldn't focus on them.
+Kyra The Tree Pixie Yes, thank you! I really was not trying to attack anyone or their relationships.
You should do a video on what you wish you brought to college that you didn't
brought a toilet freshman year. dont recommend it
there has to be a story behind this, please tell it!!!
Julia Maison Reyes you know, just in case of those moments where you gotta go immediately. By the way im in highschool. And it was just a joke.
haha ok
Thanks for the tip
A bucket would be better
no relationship is a waste of time. chances are having a strong relationship will be much more meaningful and enjoyable then having random hu and such with different people.
i think it depends on the relationship but especially in college there are a lot of people who regret staying with their high school significant other. just by being with them, they feel guilty going out and meeting new people when they could be spending time with their boyfriend or girlfriend. not every high school relationship is strong and not every person you meet will want to hook up (a lot will but there are a bunch of people out there who want a real relationship). if you are gonna be in a relationship when you enter college, i would say don't let it keep you from having the best experience possible
It depends on the person too. I have always favored long-lasting, strong relationships over tons of one night flings. I was "tied down" for most of college and don't regret that.
no "dick "is a waste of time.
"meeting new people and having fun" doesn't mean random hook ups. Yeah it depend on the relationship (cuz I just got out of my freshman college year and still has a bf), but I think without one everyone would be more likely to go out and meet people. In college knowing people is super important because then you'd know connections to things like jobs, internships, school organizations, etc.
100% agree
The only one I do not agree with is the boyfriend/girlfriend. Me and my fiancé started dating our junior year in high shool and just graduated college. We are getting married in six weeks. The other things however I totally agree with.
goals
I think it's a case to case thing like everything else. congrats!
my parents dated all through highschool and got married while they were in college and now they're both in their 50s and still married. it'll be 31 years this September. I think you should just examine your situation, and if you think you could have a future with that person, you should try to work it out!
congratulations
congrats
school rentals for mini fridges are always a huge scam, if you need one, just buy a smaller cheap one. Also definitely bring a printer, at most colleges you have to pay to print.
We had $25 worth of printing each semester. It was already paid for out of your tuition, so if you didn't use it, it kind of went to waste... I never needed my own printer.
Yup, printer was a necessity for me, its 41 cents per page on cheapest school printer, and I printed at least three hundred pgs per sem as some classes expected students to print all the lab+class materials..
Mine is 900 pages a year. And I'm already on my second day and I have used like 50 pages lol
Jason..... I was thinking the SAME. My son will be entering college in just a few months, and I've already told him "we're gonna get you a fridge!" I had one when I was in college, and it was used ALL the time. Good investment! Also, ditto for the printer. And, I can just see my son needing to print something at the LAST minute before class or something and how handy would it be to have your own printer right there?! Nowadays printers are not ALL huge and don't take up that much space. I think the pros would outweigh the cons of bringing a printer to school. I guess we'll soon find out....live and learn!
Agreed! My college's rental fridges are really expensive and it's cheaper to just buy your own. I got lucky because my older sister just graduated college so she gave me her old fridge. It's definitely a good thing to have, especially sophomore-senior year, when most students don't have an unlimited meal plan like they did as a freshman, and are making more of their own food. My school also charges 10 cents per page to print (even more if you want it in color) and there's always a long line to use them.
i"m rooming with my friend from high school and she told me that her and her current boyfriend want to switch off every other weekend visiting each other and i'm just over here sipping my tea.
+Rebecca Wesson LOL love it
Oh god do NOT let her do that. Thats a recipe for disaster. Trust me on this lol
My roommate's bf slept over all the time and I was okay with it, I think it depends on the person.
You should definitely put your foot down on this. For starters, I assume your university has rules against this. While some are stricter than others, it's best to play it safe. You don't want yourself nor your roommate/friend to get in trouble over something that is easily avoidable. I guarantee you, walking in on your roommate getting a little freaky under the sheets with their significant other has got to be one of the most awkward experiences one could have in college. On a side note, most rooms are really small and are hardly comfortable with two people...when adding a third person things get really suffocating.
this the dumbest shit i've ever heard lol
I would have to agree with you on the high-school bf/gf. I went in with a boyfriend I had been dating for 3 years at that point. Disclaimer: we did have an on-again off-again relationship, so we weren't in a great position to begin with. But I finally completely ended things with him in my second year of college, and that opened a lot of doors for me. I'm not the kinda person to go around and sleep with a bunch of guys. But I wasn't afraid to talk to guys anymore for fear that my boyfriend would yell at me (and that's hard for me because so many of my friends are guys). I ended up meeting a guy in my second semester and he's amazing, and now we've been dating for 4 months. While that's not necessarily a long time, we're really happy together and I know I never would have even talked to him had I still been in the on-again/off-again relationship that I had coming in. I'm not saying to break up with people before college. But if you have some doubts in your mind, listen to them, don't ignore them. You're feeling those things for a reason.
+Kimmie Lauren Thank you!! This is exactly what I was trying to get at 😊
That's so great to hear that you finally found your person 😊 I'm starting university in September and for me and my boyfriend of 2 years we can't feel more secure with each other but I fully support your comment that you shouldn't feel obliged to carry on your relationship just because you've been dating for a long time or whatever, if you want to start afresh at college then go for it! I just wanted to comment my situation just so girls didn't see yours and worry about going into college in a relationship because there's nothing wrong with that either if they are ready to stay committed 😊💕
Update on everything: Haven't spoken basically at all to the ex-boyfriend and the "new" boyfriend and I just had out two year anniversary. Always listen to your heart people!
I got some bitter highschool vibes on your part based on your having a relationship answer. I've been with my boyfriend for 6+ years, I started dating him in grade 12 and we've gone through our Bachelor's and Master's degrees together. We each have several friends of the opposite sex and partied hard in college despite dating. You clearly have a negative viewpoint on what a relationship is. I was still able to "do me" as you called it. It's called not being dependent on your significant other. A relationship is a part of your life, not your whole life. I'd rather be with my boyfriend rather than hook up with randoms at college because, to me, he's the best. I wouldn't give him up for anything. I hope you find someone one day who will make everything I'm saying make sense to you! :)
I'm going into my freshmen year of college but I don't want to leave my boyfriend. Why? Because if we end I would have wasted my time? That's stupid if that's the case you should have never dated them. I'm not going to college for the "experience" or for "fun" or to even meet new people I'm going to get a degree so I can get out of this state I live in. So my boyfriend being in my home town will help keep me focused. We both want to move to the same place, I don't want to meet another guy I won't feel guilty if I go hangout with friends (guys included) I would only feel guilty if I was guilty of something. I'll only be an hour away from him and can visit on weekends a lot. I love him and just because I'm going to college doesn't mean I need a new boyfriend it just means I'm going to college. My relationship may have started in high school but it's not ending just because high school ended
yes girl preach
agree 100%!!!!!! I'm in the same boat as you, I'm just gonna be 14 hours away from him
Agreed. But I am lucky that he goes to the college that I'm Going to. But I got shit for that cause everyone thinks I'm only going there cause of him. But I just happened to look at what they have and say they have surg tech and I kinda ignored it then j started my senior project and decided I wanted to do that. So I was just lucky that he was there.
I'm going to the same college as my boyfriend, we both just happened to wanna go to the same one it wasn't on purpose but I still agree with you! We've been together for 3 years now but I think I'd much rather experience college with him than anyone else, either way you can still have fun and have the same experience as anyone else while in a relationship.. So
Beautiful Chaos.... you sound extremely mature and my thought for you is just do what feels right for YOU. As she said, there are an equal number of people on both sides of this "argument." And, she also said, this is really on a "case by case" basis. Every person, every relationship is different. What works for one may be a disaster for another. You do what works for you and she'll do what works for her. Easy.
I would say definitely don't bring a TV. They're expensive and take up room, and pretty much anything you need a TV for you can use a laptop! A lot of my friends brought TVs and literally never used them.
As a junior I'd agree with almost all of this! From my personal experience as a nursing student, I would recommend bringing your own printer and plenty of school supplies- no matter which university you choose if you are pursuing your BSN, you will be expected to be extremely organized and prepared to complete and submit last minute assignments at the drop of a hat. You will be expected to be responsible for everything you do, and the more organized you are, the better! You don't want to let a slow library printer or computer make you late for class! And most bio classes, especially for pre-med and nursing, are taught by professors that emphasize note-taking by hand since it helps your brain memorize information more quickly and acccurately, and that way you can draw diagrams in lecture as well.Don't wait for your classes if you are a nursing student. 99.9% of the time, you will have assignments due, and be expected to take notes on the first or second day of class
100% disagree with the last one
Yeah. If it works out that's great! If it doesn't, you learned from it, it was an experience and you know who you won't be spending your life with... It was worth a try!
I found the last one interesting because I myself am going into my Freshman year of college with a boyfriend, not from high school, but who is going into his Senior year of college. We are in a long distance relationship now, but when school starts we will be one train stop away from one another. We are both pursuing our dreams, and honestly, I feel more comfortable going out and having fun because of my boyfriend. Normally I am very introverted and shy, but since knowing him he has definitely been my rock, and has encouraged me to go out with my friends, and by myself more than I usually would. I guess this is unusual, but we encourage each other to go out and explore and have fun, because we care about one another and we trust one another. We know that when we get home that night the other person will still be there.
Agreed i am still with my highschool boyfriend and he already finished his first year and we were over 3 hours apart... I think that its a personal decision but it is 10000% doable. I still have my friends and he made his friends and it just so happens that we are still very happy so i disagree with the last point going to school with a high school boyfriend or girlfriend for that matter is definitely something you should do if thats what you are confident in
but are u still together?
"Don't bring school supplies to school" ummm nah😂
Idk why I'm watching this. im not going to college for like 3 more years. Great video though!😊
Ikr
I'm just going into 6th grade!!! So why am I watching this....like wha
Same, 8th grade
I have 6 years
+Lucie 8191 yep 😂 and thx ☺️
I've been dating my boyfriend for 4 years prior to college. I personally liked having a boyfriend in college because 1) I dont enjoy being flirtatious as much as other people do. It gave me an excuse to get away from guys I don't like 2) going to college is a great test for your relationship and if you can make it you will be 10x stronger 3) it keeps you out of trouble because hooking up can be scary or dangerous. Yeah, you might feel bad going out sometimes, but maybe it's for the best that you don't get too comfortable 4) while college might be about finding yourself, it's just as easy to lose yourself and it's good to have someone who knows you well who can remind you who you are.
Long distance is also super doable. I've been in my relationship for a year and a half. We got together in college but live in different states. This relationship means the world to me and I've gotten to do so much stuff BECAUSE I've stayed in this relationship. He goes to school in NYC, and I'm in Baltimore. I've learned how to travel independently and we switch back and fourth every two weeks. (I go up for a weekend and then in two weeks he'll come down.) College is going to be a great four years, but the goal is for it NOT to be the best four years of your life. You want to set yourself up to be happy for the rest of your life. Be in a relationship that enhances your life. If they aren't causing you to enjoy life, you shouldn't be in the relationship. But you shouldn't end a relationship on the sole basis that you may or may not meet someone in college.
Cups- bring one travel mug with you and a water bottle. If you want a tumbler, just bring one. You can wash it :)
School supplies- Buy bare basics. If you like pens, bring those and buy a couple notebooks. I had professors that I never wrote a thing on paper, I had professors that had us never use our laptops, and I had a mix of both. Wait until you have your syllabus and have a feel for the class to buy what you need. I normally took one notebook and my laptop with me to all of my classes in the first week to figure out what they liked.
Printer- depends on the college. I could print stuff out for pretty cheap at the library or I could bring my own paper to the lounge printers. However, if you do a lot of studying in your room, I would get a printer (or share with a roommate) anyways because you're there all the time.
Those are just my opinions, I recently also finished my first year of college.
I feel things not to bring to college varies so much based on where you go! A lot of the things you mentioned were essentials for me my freshman year since we don't have unlimited coffee on our meal plan or free printing! Interesting how much it can vary
i've been dating my boyfriend since i was a sophomore in high school and he was a junior. we are now a junior and a senior in college at different schools 2 hours apart. i feel so strongly about encouraging people to stay with relationships they feel strong about because he has helped me through college. both of us bring each other up and push each other to be better and encourage each other to try new things and go out and meet people and he has in no way held me back from having a college experience. don't ditch your high school relationship if the only reason is because you think you have to for college.
Remember that you're not locked up in college!! You will 99.9% go shopping while you're there so you don't need to bring every single item in you're dresser or closet. Same goes for shoes, food, and big bulky furnature. Also if you are lucky enough to have room for extra furnature like a couch, then try and buy it or pick it up where your college is so you don't have to take up most of your room in the car with one item.
i agree with a lot of things on this list! i mean...the main focus and the reason to go to school after high school is to study...not to find a significant other, to be the cutest/hottest looking person or to live the most luxurious/convenient life. Have enough so that life isn't too inconvenienced, however, keep it minimal. Basically, if you can't pack your stuff and move out from your dorm room in 4-5 hours if you absolutely had to, you have too much stuff. Don't accumulate stuff.
My best advice for university/college students is to take studies seriously and set priorities. In college/university, you are paying for your education. If you are not successful in any of the course, you would have to pay again and possibly stay another year. You set your priorities. Definitely learn how to budget, cook, clean and maintain a household, because it will prepare you well for the life after college.
oh, this reminds me that punctuality is HUGE in college/university.. Late assignment? You lose a certain percentage of your mark...Late for lecture? You miss important announcements. Besides, you are paying for your lectures...seriously, don't skip classes and benefit from those lectures you are paying for. This is a reminder that strict deadlines in college prepares you for your work life, because at work, you cannot be late. other workers will not tolerate your lateness, because there are things that need to get done. If you are constantly late, you will see you won't get called back for jobs and they might even fire you in some occupations.
Welcome to an adult life, you are not a child anymore. Some aspects of growing up sucks, but we all have to mature at one point or another.
If you take lab classes you will need notebooks mine half the time had to be a carbon copy. Also be careful because, a couple professors at my school would not allow laptops because they found it to be distracting.
Yeah, I was going to comment that science majors WILL need the notebooks and composition books.
yes they will, but no need to bring them from home hundreds of miles away. You can buy them at the bookstore or the local walmart, or these days, Amazon Prime.
If your significant other truly loves you, then they would be supportive of you meeting and hanging out with new people. Furthermore, if your relationship was good, then it's not a waste of time! My boyfriend and I are going into our fourth year together. We love each other but if we were to break up, the time we spend together will always be time well spent.
You're right, the relationship part is what I disagree with most. I graduated high school 6 years ago and to this day my biggest regret is that my boyfriend broke up with me so that I could be "free to date in college." But that's not what I wanted, that's what he wanted for me... I still think about him constantly and still wish he hadn't left me for such a stupid reason. I've never found a guy who makes me feel the way he did. My advice is if you are happy in your relationship and in love, don't break up for such a superficial reason. You can still meet people in college. After he broke up with me, I started dating someone else from my high school and I was still able to make tons of new friends while in college and while dating someone else from high school. That relationship ended for other reasons though. My point is, breaking up with someone just because you're going to college can also end up being one of your biggest regrets in life. I don't recommend doing it unless your relationship is bad.
I very much disagree with the boyfriend/girlfriend thing. I know that this is your own opinion, but I don't think it's fair to make having a significant other in college seem so hopeless or like you're wasting so much time especially for people who are perfectly happy in relationships right now who after watching this may be having some conflicting feelings about their boyfriend/girlfriend. My boyfriend and I started dating our freshman year of high school and now go to different colleges. We both just finished our sophomore years and so far so good. Freshman year there were some ups and downs I will admit that, but when you truly love someone you'll do anything to be with them and if that means not talking to the attractive guy that's showing interest in you at a party, not giving them that satisfying attention that could potentially make you feel guilty or you know would make your significant other upset shouldn't be frowned upon.
A lot of people seem to think that college is all about going out and meeting all of these people of the opposite gender and "getting around", but if that's not you and you're perfectly happy in the relationship you're in you shouldn't feel bad about that at all. That was sort of the situation I was in and it only ended up hurting our relationship. I'm not trying to discredit your opinion in any way, but what I'm saying is that if you're going into college with a high school significant other you shouldn't look at them as baggage when you're going out with your friends. You can have just as great of a time with your girl friends at a party if that's what makes you most comfortable or if you do have a significant other that you truly care about.
I would also like to mention for anyone with a significant other going into college that is worried about whether they should break up before college, I have 4 other friends my same age in college with significant others from high school that are still with them after completing 2 years of college and are also perfectly happy. And they also have not been dating nearly as long as my boyfriend and I. Just trying to give those of you out their with significant others and going into college some confidence in your relationship. If you truly care about someone it's not a bad thing to be in a relationship in college with someone from high school.
+bootie joody I agree completely! My boyfriend and I have been together since the summer after I graduated high school and I just graduated from college.
+bootie joody I clearly said that not all relationships are not going to work out, it's just that the majority don't. Just stating my opinion from what I've seen.
+fiercelytasha I totally understand where you're coming from! I just wanted to give girls going into college with a high school boyfriend some confidence because I know as a freshman I had a lot of trouble realizing that it was okay to have a high school boyfriend with everything I saw going on around me
I'm going to college in 6 years why am i even watching this
Same!
I'll be going in 4 years
+Gracia Grabarić mine is 2 years away too. I'll be class of 2018.
I am going in 7 xD. Class of 2023!!!!!
I'm class of 2017😁 Sooo close 😱
I would agree with the final tip about high school sweethearts, though the reverse is happily true for me. My husband and I were engaged for 4 years, and married before grad school. We had our ups and downs, but these troubles weren't as important as the future we saw together. This year marks our 23rd wedding anniversary.
However, based on our observations of our friends, most relationships did not survive college and the early career/work years. It is a period of intense growth and self discovery, and often people grow apart despite their best intentions.
gonna be a college freshman in the fall so this video was extremely helpful!!
She has a valid point on relationships. The way I see it is a relationship will work if you want it to work. if you want to meet new people, (because you will it's college!!!!!) then do YOU. It might be sad at first but if you don't want to commit it's better if you end a relationship rather than feeling resentment. So if you have a boyfriend and you really love him then keep him. It will work if you want it boo and don't let anyone shame you because you want to meet more people. She was right about finding yourself. You really learn what kind of person you want to be while at college so have fun and live life!
If you're in love with your high school sweetheart then stay together. If it's a casual thing maybe not
Noooo, trust me if you can, bring your own printer. You'll be glad you did. Just don't let people you live near take advantage of you/your printer. Ink isn't cheap, lol.
The first video I ever saw from you was the waterfall braid video. Years later and I'm still watching. So weird. I think I was in like the 7th or 8th grade. I just graduated high school. Crazy
A lot of schools charge students for printing, or only give a limited amount of prints per semester, so a printer might be good to have depending on school policy
Not to be rude but she keeps say her college but no all college's are the same
Obviously not but I do not have any other school experiences to go off of.
No, but most of it was true for me too and I went to college on the other side of the country.
I might be wrong, but I think she's trying to say wait to you get there, see what they offer, and then you can buy it there if it's necessary.
good answer lol
She said she's basing this off of what her and her college friends thought they didn't need
if they regret their relationship, then they weren't in a happy one or they did not truly love that person. a strong relationship is not a waste of time. and when you say branching out to find yourself, I would hope that significant other knows who you truly are. and if you change, then you change, but you shouldn't just break up with someone because you're leaving. I think you have seen this from one side of things, but maybe all of the relationships you have seen just weren't strong to begin with. just another point of view to think about! :)
What NOT to bring to college: My time, my money, my presence.
As far as heels go, I agree with you. However, I think you probably should still bring one or two pairs of them.
1. Bring a pair of formal heels, like simple black pumps, especially if you are a business or communication major and/or a senior because you will likely attend some type of networking event, or you might have job interviews to kickstart your career, or even just have to give some kind of presentation in class, and it's often in good taste to wear business attire.
Although, if you're pretty tall / cannot wear heels for the life of you, a pair of nice ballet flats will do the trick just as good.
2. Bring another pair of casual / fun / trendy heels, the kind that you'd wear to a sorority formal or a party or even a fancy date. You know the type :)
I feel really stupid. so I found this video on what I should watch. And so while I was watching I was dusting off thing from my laptop screen like little specks that just magically appear.. and I started brushing away this little thing on my laptop and it wouldn't come off so I kept scrubbing. Five minutes later I realize it is your birthmark or mole on your neck...... But on a good note, I subscribed.
Lol, me too. xD
lmao this comment made my day XD

Riddhi Khincha cute
Lol I'm a sophmore in high school and I still watched this😍
samee😭
I'm in middle school
+The Amirollas I had an incredibly tight knit group of friends in middle school and I havent talked to them once in four years. just remember that people change
Same
living on the edge huh?
I've been loving this college series!
I feel like most people should break up before college, but I think everyone needs to seriously evaluate their relationships. If you don't trust them or if you have any fear that your significant other will cheat, you need to end it. If you think you'll at all be held back, you need to end it.
Unless you 100% believe that you won't feel any guilt for not texting all day and not calling every night (even if you currently want to do those things), you need to end it.
I totally agree on the boyfriend/girlfriend thing. I know a girl who started college, and she was dating a boy who still went to high school. They ended up breaking up, and now she's dating her best friend at college. And, I know this is totally random, but you literally have the most unique clothes, I'm soo jealous, lol!
Same thing happened to my friend! She had a boyfriend that went off to college last year & they tried to stay together but it didn't end up working.
Yeah, It usually doesn't!
+Lydia Malachuk I like your name 😂
lol, same girl, same
unique clothes??? Shes wearing a blue spagetti strap shirt. Whats unique about it?
I just finished my first year as well and wanted to inform people on the appliance situation. PersonallyBringing a fridge was a must for me -
1.)Because my rental one provided by my university costs more than actually investing in a small fridge, which i can use all 4 years and save $$$
2.) Cleaniness was aslo a big factor for me. The refrigerator on in my floor lounge was kept a MESS by those who used it. People failed to throw out any expired foods and drinks they had and let things go rotten and spill in the fridge; the only times it was cleaned were move in day, and move out day. Same for the microwave:/
3.) Sometimes people get really deperate and hungry (or just plain malicious) and take any delicious packaged food they may see (especially ice cream)
But untilmatly the choice is yours; just evaluate your prefernces and pockets. But if you do choose to bring one, check with your rooate and suitemates to see if any of them are bringing one as well, because you wouldn't want 3 fridges in one room - there's definitely no spacen most dorms lol. But Good luck with Uni everyone! ^-^
lol i liked this video until the boyfriend part. Don't throw away a relationship JUST because you're going away to school. If you're not capable of maintaining your relationship while also making friends thats an issue on YOUR part, its not your s/o.
+M4ya l No need for the sass, I was just stating my opinion from the majority of the cases I have seen.
+M4ya I
I agree with you. If you meet a person in high school and you're willing to fight for them, that's a great thing. But I saw her point as well.
+fiercelytasha I think if you and your partner trust each other whether you're going to the same school or not then they shouldn't worry about making new friends, you shouldn't just break up with your partner simply because you're moving schools, sure if you break up during college for different reasons then that's fine but if you can't be bothered to keep up a long distance relationship or think your partner is holding you back then you're in the wrong relationship
I agree with a lot of these statements. Easy way to modify if you're iffy about bringing something: bring one or two of those items instead of a variety. For example, bring a nude & black pair of heels, maybe one metallic pair instead of all of them. Bring one or two mugs (preferably one that fits in the microwave, don't make the same mistake I did lol) that way you don't have to wash a lot or take up too much storage space. Don't bring an appliance unless you're absolutely sure you use it everyday. I brought a blender because I actually drink smoothies most day (I don't eat a lot of meat and get protein in other ways. I know other vegetarians who did the same.) My roommate brought a toaster because she was used to eating bagels/toast everyday.
love your videos Tasha! but my significant other has to come to college with me cause we're engaged 🤗💍💍👑 I'll still have fun in college. nothing like being with your best friend for the rest of your life 😊😊
Jamie Posta did everything work out? 😊
I agree with the relationship part! I had to deal with that my freshman year of college, and my best advice is to end it if you can. However, if you're like me and aren't sure what to do, talk to your significant other! I remember just having a serious, sit-down talk with my high school boyfriend about if or how we were going to make it work, how we were going to let each other enjoy growing up, use the time apart to just be ourselves, and to see each other when we could. Luckily for me it all worked out and we're still together three years later, but my experience is a rare case! I HIGHLY encourage you to talk with your significant other and work it out, that way you can see how you both feel about it and either make it work or maybe end it on good terms without regret. Much love
Your seriously my favorite youtuber and the first one i started watching!! All these other youtubers dont make helpful and oldschool youtube videos like you do (hauls,ootw,etc) so your videos are just so good tbh:) maybe you can film a summer night routine,whats in my beach bag, or everyday summer makeup routine💗
Awww thank you so much!
My freshman year of college, I went to a school where the dining hall closed after lunch on Saturday, so if you wanted to eat dinner on Saturday or eat at all on Sunday, you needed a mini fridge/microwave! Definitely make sure you school's dining halls are open for every meal before you rule out appliances.
I'm in England going to university, I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years and doing fine but we have never been at the same school so we are use to not seeing each other everyday and we both understand we need to do our own thing. So I think if you Want to be with someone you make it work but you understand each other's situation.
About the topic of relationships, everyone is different. IF you regret the relationship you had, you shouldn't have had it to begin with. Just because it ended doesn't mean it was a waste. Some work and some don't.
makeup tutorial on this look! And some summer vlogs would be sick (:
Just filmed a vlog today actually :)
Dear anyone entering college as a freshman tbh these types of videos definitely depend upon you as a person and the college you attend because I brought and used everything that Tasha mentioned except unnecessary clothes and a significant other lol.
For example
- I take hand written notes rather than typing so I used school supplies
-lived in an apartment style dorm so I had multiple cups and mugs for coffee and water etc
-also a printer is super beneficial for last minute printing because you know it's going to happen at some point
-when going to meetings and things it's just more useful and easier to carry an iPad or tablet rather than your entire computer also great for multitasking
-if you join an organization you're going to have meetings or events where you need to wear heels so just bring a good amount for going out as well as looking professional
the waterfallbraid-video is how i found your channel actually!! haha :)
me too!!
I just finished my sophomore year in college and for my school we had only suite style dorms. 1st year I shared a suite with 7 other girls. Sophomore year shared with 3 other girls. Bring heels and nice clothes if you plan to join a sorority, join certain clubs, or work in certain locations on campus. Bring a microwave/mini fridge/sneak in a hot plate if your school does not supply them or an oven otherwise you will either starve or spend a lot of money. Yes there's a meal plan but that food is not great and can get boring. Bring enough dishes for you to use or share if you want to. Vacuum, printer, and other things would only need to be brought if you don't want to be renting them or setting aside an extra 15 min to print at the library which is actually really annoying to do imo since I'm always busy and can forget that I need to print something.
studies actually show that taking handwritten notes helps retain information more than using a computer. telling incoming freshman to NOT bring notebooks just seems irresponsible. also, when making comments, please take in to consideration that there are a lot of students who cannot afford to buy their own computers.
Lindsay well, I think with not bringing notebooks she ment not to buy them at home but buying them at or near college. As I will be an international student soon, I am going to do this for sure. It saves space while traveling I can use for more important stuff which I can’t/don’t want to buy there.
My high school boyfriend of almost three years and I broke up right before we left for school and it honestly was the best decision because we both got to focus on ourselves and our own school. I'm still single and he found a new girlfriend and we both are so happy and still on good terms :)
+Colleen O'Connor So happy everything worked out for you!! 😊
LIKE FOR HAMILTON
I WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED
This makes sense, if you're unable to explore yourself, "find" yourself, meet new people and balance the experience of college with a significant other, then you shouldn't keep one. If you personally can't sustain a long distance relationship, don't do it. But that doesn't mean other people aren't capable of sustaining that kind of relationship and still maintaining their autonomy and having new experiences. It's relative by case and I don't think it's necessary to be single to be autonomous and have new adventures.
you should do a video all about collage or high school parties! :)
At my school, you are charged everytime you use a printer. It's not that much but if you have to write a lot of papers (I'm an english major so a lot of papers) it's just cheaper and easier to have your own or use someone elses. The dormitories at my college supply fridges but not microwaves and the only microwave in my dorm was on the first floor (I lived on the 7th). So my advice, look into where you're living and know what they are supplying and what they're not. I do not advise against appliances. Maybe you have the money to eat out every night but most people don't. Crockpots are great (especially small ones) if you don't have the money or don't want to eat out. They're also kind of like home cooked meals, which is nice to have every once in a while. My roommate and I had many microwave meals often(cup of noodles, lean cuisine, mac and cheese) they're easy to make, fast for when you don't have time (like when your studying, doing homework, have 30 mins to eat in between classes) and are generally cheap. Not to mention, my microwave is getting lots of use. Me and my roommate used our first year, I gave to my roommate our second year (she was living in a dorm and I was living in an apartment that came with a microwave) and my sister's going to use it this year, and it was pretty cheap to begin with. It's okay to bring some decor. Wall decor is the best because it's not taking up any space. Small things and trinkets are okay, especially if you know if you'll have a lot of shelves. My freshman dorm had tons of shelves and I had plenty of room for trinkets and picture frames. Definitely wait to buy school supplies. The only things that I think are okay to buy before class starts is pencils and pens, a notebook or two, and folders. However, if you know certain things work for you for organization purposes (like binders) go for it and buy them. If you don't end up using them, you can save them for next semester.
I love this video, and I find it to be really helpful, but I disagree with a few things that you said. For example, the appliances. I think that a mini fridge is a great thing to have in your dorm room, and you can also use it as a night stand. Also, I personally go to a school where printing is not free, so in that case it is better to have your own printer. Everything else I completely agree with! And definitely go and look at a school and see the dorm you're staying in to see what you'll need before you move in!
+probeauty37 When I said no appliances I meant don't buy your own if you can rent them through the school :) I used my mini fridge a ton too!
I totally agree! I think that's awesome that your school allows you to rent them. I wish mine did that hahaha
I loved the advice in this video. I will say though, I've been dating my boyfriend/bestfriend since 8th grade, and we're now both about to leave for different colleges. The way I see it is if you trust them and y'all have respect and a good relationship, you'll still be able to meet new people and have fun while remaining in the relationship if that's something you want to do.
Fridge is all you need, food is life
I live off campus, but I looovvee my ipad! My phone isn't so great for handling things like emails, but my computer is a delicate flower (breaks a lot) that I can't just whip out anywhere on campus. The iPad is a lovely in-between though, since I can use it with campus wifi and handle quick emails/googling/things like that without waiting on my poor phone to handle it. Plus, the iPad is a backup alarm alongside my cell phone, and it's my "gaming system" too. :)
Are there any things that maybe people wouldn't know they should bring to college? like could you do a top 10 useful things for college??
I'm doing that next!
I've been through my 4 years of college already and I agree that this is all true. College really teaches you what kind of clothes and level of dress you are most comfortable in, and most likely you will end up wearing those same types of clothes and shoes for almost everything.
Also YES x100 to not bringing your high school S.O. My bf and I broke up before college because we were going to be 5 hours apart, but then got back together winter of freshman year because we "missed each other"... We broke up again just 4 months later when we realized how much we both changed. Waste of time and emotional energy. I knew way too many other people who trudged through college with a long distance high school relationship only to break up by junior or senior year. Unless you both have ABSOLUTELY ZERO interest in meeting other people (be honest with yourself, it's okay..), do yourselves both a favor and let each other go if you're going to be more than an hour apart during college. You're not going to want to go home as often as you may think you will once you get settled in.
could you do a everyday makeup tutorial?
yes please !!
I did one! It's my most recent video :)
+fiercelytasha thanks! 😋
I kind of agree with you about the relationship but for me it has worked out. Third year of college and 4th year of relationship we are very focused on studying and wanting to graduate. We don't like parties or things like that so it works out. We do study in different universities so that also helps.
This is the epitome of first world problems lol
I completely understand the point she made about the significant other, but it really can workout. I was a freshman this past year and have been with my current boyfriend for two years. I still went out to parties, hung out with friends and met new people. if anything it was so great to have him around because he was a person that i could confide in and come to when i was scared. If the two people have a great connection and really want to be together then it will workout. However, if you have a psycho significant other who doesn't "allow" you to go out, then you should totally leave them behind.
Thank you for disagreeing with me in a respectable way!
Having a laptop that can change into a tablet is helpful
Although my boyfriend and I are going to the same college, I kind of agree with you on that one. I mean, it's fine to go to the same college of course because it's your choice as well as theirs and if you both think that specific college will be beneficial for your future then, by all means, go ahead and do it! But I don't think you should base your college choice on where your significant other is going. I think you should definitely put your future ahead of them.
I legit don't know why I'm watching college videos. I am not in high school yet. Lol
Me neither, but I know where I want to go.
Same
I'd say wait until you after your orientation or you see your dorm to decide on appliances because my school didn't supply that stuff and didn't have common areas on each floor. You most likely won't need your own printer though, unless you don't like sharing.
I just started high school why am I watching this.
Not all schools are as well stocked as yours which you already know. As for me, mini-fridge, microwave, and printer was definitely a necessity so that you don't have to worry about last minute fiascos.
As a guy: "look at all these problems I never had"
If you think that a relationship that ends after graduation is a waste, then you weren't invested in the relationship to start. Viewing a relationship as "a waste of time" or thinking that you wasted your time with this person after the relationship ends isn't healthy. You should value the person you're in a relationship with, even after you breakup, and not resent them for wasting your time. I think that you make a good point in saying that a college freshman should expand their circle of friends and meet new people. However, to say that you should leave your high school boyfriend/girlfriend in the past simply because you are moving on to college is misguided and superficial.
Another great video! Super helpful!
Glad I could help!
+fiercelytasha love you😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Thanks for responding!
+Emelia Richling لا افهم 😑
My first semester, I lived in a single in a kitchenless suite. And my school did not have a fridge rental program, so we had to bring our own mini fridges if our suite did not have one. The next 2 of the 3 semesters I was in college, my suite had a kitchen with an oven/stove, a microwave, and a fridge, so I didn't need to bring any appliances. I did buy cups, plates, bowls, utensils, and basic kitchenware (pots and pans and tools), though, since I cooked a lot. And I had a kettle, because I drank a lot of cocoa and tea. I did get the smallest meal plan, though, even though I wasn't required to have one because I lived in a dorm with an en-suite kitchen. I did also have to buy a router, because my dorm only had wired internet (2700 people lived in the Towers, so we only had wifi in the first floor reception area and third floor commons).
i brought my brain to college, imagine that
From my own experience...
-I actually found having a printer to be super helpful. My university's free printer was overworked and often the ink would rub off on assignments I had to submit. Plus, the printer was only open at certain hours, so when you're trying to write that paper the night before at 2 am for your 8 am class, you'd have to scramble to get to the printer when it opened.
-As far as school supplies, half of my classes wouldn't let me use a laptop. So I did need plenty of notebooks, folders, and pencils.
-I used cups and mugs ALL the time. It depends how often you like to eat in your room.
The advice given here is well thought out, but it really just depends on each individual, as well as the university attended.
please, please, please do a swimsuit collection before the end of summer so we can take your advice and order some! 😊😊
Waiting for a few more to come in the mail then filming one!
Before moving into your dorm, check what is an isn't allowed to have in your dorm room. At my school, we weren't allowed any kitchen appliance besides a coffee maker or electric kettle, mini fridges had to be under a certain size and you could only have one per room (you had to coordinate with your assigned roommate on that one), no candles even if the wicks were removed, no internet router (they messed with the internet for the whole building), and no pets besides a fish that could be kept in a tank under 25 gallons. I personally ended up buying an electric kettle because I drank a lot of tea and like to eat oatmeal for breakfast, so it was much easier than going down to the communal kitchen to use the single microwave that was shared between 400 people. I definitely suggest bringing a mini fridge. I don't know a single person who didn't have and use their fridge. If you can rent one, great. My school didn't offer that, so my roommate bought one and used it for the two years she lived in the dorms.
Something to add on to this list. We were allowed to bring a TV. I brought a little 17" TV because it was cheap, easy to move, and didn't take up a lot of space. It hardly ever got used. I know some people would bring TVs if they were bringing gaming systems, but if you can find all of your shows online to watch, don't bother. You'll mostly be using Netflix anyways.
On the iPad thing, it can go either way. I know a lot of people who use their iPad to go to class and take notes on so they don't have to carry their laptops around on campus (especially if you have to take your books to class with you for any reason, it can get heavy). I get not wanting to have a ton of expensive electronics in your dorm room, but it could be useful.
I'm so bringing my dog
Most colleges will not allow that especially if you live in a dorm unless it's a service animal
I made so many of the same mistakes!! I totally agree with these suggestions.
You never end up wearing even close to all your clothes, or using all the school supplies you brought, etc. It's good to keep in mind that if you find yourself in desperate need of something you didn't bring, you can always buy it while you're there. Except maybe a boyfriend haha
