you’re definitely my favorite college content creator because you’re not only honest about the ugly little parts of college but also the big terrifying questions and ugh, I just think that’s awesome
ahh thank you so so much. i feel so happy, or just, like, contented, or just, like, "ah yes, this, words like these is what makes creating the videos all worth it." that is to say that your comment means a lot to me. i'm so glad you like it
hello ina! your creations feel like journal entries translated into short films and i love love love everything about it! to see the world through your lenses is both comforting and refreshing. thanks a lot for sharing your perspective
just got into princeton and definitely having major impostor syndrome. immigrant parents are gonna make me go and i just want to know if you have any advice on overcoming that feeling of... enough? if not, totally chill too -- we're just both people on the internet with our own issues. but anyways, thank you for being candid like this. really helps me feel that maybe im not going to be all alone next year.
Hey there! Fellow immigrant who got into Princeton :) if it makes u feel any better, I bet u there are many more immigrants who feel this way. I know I do. I feel like maybe I’m not good enough for all this and wonder how I even got in. But, we got here for a reason and admission commute wouldn’t have chosen us if they didn’t think we could handle the rigor. Ur not alone and we are in this together ❤
hi, sorry for my belated reply! thank you for sharing here :) i wonder how you're feeling one month-post writing this. i can assure you that you are so so enough. i feel imposter-syndrome all the time, like in the library haha, when i'm looking around at all the studious people studying, while all i'm doing is.. looking around at all the studious people studying. but something interesting is that everybody feels that sort of incompetence-everyone looks around at their peers in awe. there's always smarter people, or whatever X-er people, BUT you've got something, too. which is to say, you were accepted for a reason, and you're going to do great, AND find community. all will be well. i'm so excited for you~ it's gonna be great!
Maia! thank you for watching my video and for leaving a comment :) hahaha i indeed was able to eat lunch on Thursdays, but somehow didn't think to include it i suppose
this video is a nice brisk change of pace (pun intended) from your other slower videos! it immediately reminded me of this scene from the social network th-cam.com/video/90REkEl9O9Q/w-d-xo.html p.s. hope you're having a good end to your spring semester! i just finished mine :) i actually made a video about it that was partially inspired by your videos hehe
Alex, thanks for your comment and for watching! i'm glad you enjoyed the different pace. and thanks for sending me that scene! such a good film. i watched your latest video and enjoyed it very much. you captured campus very thoughtfully, and had nice music selections too. i appreciated your Hand Covers Bruise use, especially with the scene you linked :) btw, congrats on UMich!!
Hello Ina. I was so excited to see this new video that you posted 12 hours ago ;) I've never been to Princeton, but your day in the life video made me realize, "아 거기도 사람 사는 곳이구나." For me, college feels like such a long way ahead; it makes me look up to "college people" on a pedestal. This also makes me wonder if I would look at myself the same way because I'm already 18, and college apps are rolling around in a few months... yikes. I have finals starting this week Friday, and after 7 days, I'm done with my Junior year! I'm so scared about how the college application would turn out after the next 6 months- year... I don't know where I would end up, but I believe that I would end up in the place I need to be ;0 Please wish me luck >< Regardless of my unrelated college outcome, I hope you have a great day!! Best Wishes, Eunjae th-cam.com/video/MWpPhC6Epag/w-d-xo.html P.S. here's a Korean TH-cam channel that I always listen to like a radio when I get ready in the morning. The words are beautiful ;) I thought it would help you study more Korean and possibly warm your heart at the same time. Bye :D
hello, Eunjae! receiving your comment (just as in the past few times) was a very lovely thing. i resonate with your current thoughts and anxieties as you approach the end of your junior year (congratulations!) and the upcoming college apps season. right now i'm back in my high school room, and as i sit at this desk, my headspace has been brought back to my own junior year. being at this desk reminds me of studying for APs, the SAT exams, and then writing my college apps and all that. i remember i would look on social media at those "college people" and feel this envy that they were done with it all, that they were over the great hill that is this whole grand finale of high school that you're going through. i remember watching videos of advice for the process, but everything that "college people" said felt SO MUCH easier to say from their point of view as they were out of it all. so, i'm conscious that any words of comfort i say may feel, hmm, like, really easy for me to say but harder for you to actually feel. i just want to say that i'm sending strength to you. time will pass. sitting here now, at this same desk i used to sit at in junior year, i'm amazed at time as i often am. how does it pass so fast? it passes and we live life. you are marching through this phase of your life; you're doing it! big congrats on nearly finishing junior year (that's a tough one !!). thanks again for watching, and for sending me the Korean radio TH-cam channel - i'll check it out :) 화이팅!
