EEEEEEK thank you! my skin has cleared up from being back in the bay area and i've been using a new product in my hair to make it more easy to manage naturally
omg you look sooo gorgeous in this video, katherine! also, i'm already scared of missing home lol. there's nothing that really replaces the comfort of your own bedroom or the meals your mom cooks.
From your previous videos, I can tell that you are becoming so confident and owning who you are more and more--I love to see your progress. Keep on going!
I am so glad I found such a genuine, relatable TH-camr like yourself! Please continue posting the videos that you do! You truly inspire and motivate me to try my best and discover the best version of myself! Thank you Katherine!!!
loved this video!! as i leave for college this fall, i think "oh i wont be super homesick if im busy" but i do realize now that i really will miss my family and home
I have mixed feelings about starting college this fall as a nursing major; I'm excited to move out of the suburbs into an awesome school in the city! I'll finally get the freedom I crave and I can work on being more outgoing and in shape (I have no access to a good gym here). BUT I know I'll miss my parents and brother so much, like I tear up just picturing the day I have to give everyone their last hug for awhile. I'm also really worried about the work load of a nursing student :/ I have 8am classes 3 times a week
You can do it! How far are you going away? If you're close, you could visit more often and also you can call your family every week...best of luck to you! I'm going to start college in the fall and I'm also worried about being homesick, but it'll be okay. You'll be okay, I promise! Try to get excited about all the opportunities ahead of you!
I feel like one reason people gain the Freshman 15 is because of drinking. I remember my diet didn't change my first year but I still gained a few pounds. I was a heavy partier and I worked out (occasionally) but still my weight changed rapidly.
Could be true. I didn't drink anything, though, my freshman year. For me it was moving out and living in a city with lots of fast-food and take-out places and being too lazy to cook :D
Making your own food is WAY cheaper than either paying for dorm food or eating out/postmating every meal. As long as you are smart and strategic about meal prep and how to use up perishable foods, it is really not very difficult to not be wasteful even when cooking for yourself.
I love the Belgian system! We're a small country, so most university students go home every weekend.. My parents live 30 minutes away from my dorm room!
Yesterday was the first time I saw one of your videos, since then I've watched every single one. I like how down go earth you are and your advice is gonna help me a lot! I hope you achieve all of your goals in life. I love your chanel and I love how you gave advice since high school, in other videos!! Hope you keep posting advice videos like this!!!
lol this is basically how my freshman year went. I thought all of that was true, then i slowly learned otherwise. BTW i love your videos, i watched them to psych myself up before i first moved into college last year!
Love your videos! I'm an incoming freshman for USC and your videos are helping me out A LOT. Do you think you could explain more about graduating in 3yrs? I never thought about that but the more I think about it the more it's appealing to me.
I agree with most of the points you make in this video apart from the whole freshman 15. I doubt I gained 15 pounds, but I was stress eating SO MUCH especially during exam season, but even in every day life because school would get to me. The point is don't neglect your health and don't reach for food as comfort!!
I feel like leaving home to get married, go to college, both or just to simply move out when you have younger silbings who are still minors at home makes leaving so much harder. my older sister moved out & then a year later joined the Air Force & having two younger siblings with me made that so much harder on me since it was always the 4 of us growing up together. I get married next summer & start my first semester of college with my fiance this upcoming fall & I feel like time is going by way too fast!
I go back to my parent's home EVERY weekend, vacations ans summer vacations. Last time I had to stay on campus a weekend bc of an exam (saturday at 7am :crying: ) I found a way to see my parents on Sunday. x'D
I've taken 10AM classes the past two semesters and it really doesn't necessarily have to mean that you don't have as much time to get stuff done, so long as you're not getting more than 8 or 9 hours of sleep a night. I get up at 8 or 9AM in the morning, go to classes, meetings, do homework, and get done with homework at around 10PM. Late classes do not prevent you from getting work done, a faulty schedule does, but if you're one of those people who can't get work done past a certain time a night, definitely take earlier classes in the morning. I'm the kind of person that cannot get work done before class because I need class to wake me up, so I don't like doing classes later than 11AM so that sleeping doesn't conflict with deadlines or meeting times.
just speaking from personal experience, getting up early is the key to a fulfilling day. and most of us need some sort of hard deadline to do so! but if you can get stuff done without a hard deadline go for it. i wasn't forcing 8AMs on anyone i was just saying it was a shift in my life that has helped me!! despite the fewer hours of sleep i have more meaningful work during the day
I just want to say that I love your vids and I want to go to college or university in the USA and I life in the Netherlands (in Europe west to Germany). You really inspired me to follow my dreams and I just want to go with it. The good thing is is that my parents and siblings support me with it they say that they would always miss me but I can come home anytime I want.
Graduating on time or not: So I spent 2 1/2 years at community college and then 2 at a four year university. So by the end of 5 years I had my undergrad degree. Longer than some, but shorter than others. I'll take it.
I loved the video!! I thought it was so cool of you to make it right and explanation your misconceptions and fix it!! So responsibility of you!! I think that was great of you to do, also thought it was good, great, awesome of you as well as responsible!! :-) :) I enjoyed watching it and now I will go watch the other one to see were it went down with this!! so cool again this was such a good, great, awesome video thanks!! :) :-)
Can you make a video about tips on live off campus? Like cooking schedules and saving money. Because I'm living off next year and wanted to know if you had any tips
i'm not saying if you're mature you won't hookup or if that you hookup you're automatically immature. i am saying that a relationship requires maturity
I feel like sometimes it's more of junior or senior 15 than freshman. Trying to finish everything on time especially your final project is stressful and def a lot of coffee will be involved.
I get excited every time I get a notification that u posted a video. I have a problem that I hope u could help with can you make a video about how to get the most out of college? I've been in college for 2 and half years and all I did was studying constantly, (and not getting the grades that I wish for by the way) and not building any experience whatsoever. I don't want to graduate without trying things in my college but at the same time I am afraid if I join some kind of activity i won't have enough time to study and my GPA would drop which is what I don't want. thanks
+Katherout haha yesss but still the environment is quite different.Can you please do a video on "how to adapt to a college surrounding" especially its your first time being away from home 😊
Haha, I gained so much weight my freshman year(which just ended). Partly because of late night snacking and drinking honestly. Now I'm going to have to try and be more active haha
I'll stick to having dining hall food bc I don't have to waste time cooking I am not homesick DON'T FORGET SOME PEOPLE GRADUATE IN 5 YEARS INCLUDING MYSELF
Katherine, do you have a recommendation for hanging unframed 4x6 photos on dorm walls? I'm not sure that command strips would be right, since the prints are so small..
FRESHMAN 15 IS REAL. ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE ON A MEAL PLAN. YOU THINK IT'S OKAY UNTIL IT'S THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW YOU'RE EATING A BURGER BECAUSE IT'S $6 AND THE SALADS ARE $8 OK IT'S REAL.
Hi I commented on your Keratin Perm video and I would love to have those questions answered, how perfect yours turned out makes me want to get one, so if you don't mind please answer my questions on your keratin video, thank you so much!
With the food aspect of your video instead of making your stuff fresh you can make it and then freeze it. That way it's not as expensive by eating out and you're not wasting food!
Hi Katherine my name is Andrea in currently 24 & I'm barley going to transfer out of my community college, I'm very nervous to be made fun of because of my age. I feel like I'm to old and to late. I feel like everyone might or will be younger. Feel like a grandma compare to everyone else. I really want to have the college experience but insecure of my age.
I really want to get into USC and I was wondering how much ACT score weighs on getting in. I currently only have a 23 but I have straight A's and work hard.
it definitely weighs on getting in. But a school as selective as USC, getting in also comes down to luck and factors out of your control. There will be plenty of applicants that go in with perfect grades, amazing extracurriculars, and killer test scores and will get turned down. A 23 will definitely weigh negatively on you as most students there have a 30+. You should probably consider taking it again, but also know that there is no guarantee or magic formula to getting into highly selective schools.
generally, no. because most kids move off campus sophomore/junior year, they either don't have roommates or get different roommates once they leave the dorms. also, some people switch roommates after their first year.
I met my roommate first year by random pairing. We're both now going into fourth year and still live together off campus. If you like your roommate, you can move out with them, if not you can find new ones.
Queen of college videos without a doubt
HEYYYYY
This is true
Just graduated on the 3rd...time to panic over college and binge watch these kind of videos... 😭
You're going to be fine! I know that's hard to believe, but trust me, it'll be like nothing you ever expect!
Thank you so much! MooCowPoopPoop
yup
high school right
Sweetness2u2day how are you now
Your hair looks SO GREAT right now, and your lip color really makes your eyes stand out! All in all, you look SO pretty in this video!
EEEEEEK thank you! my skin has cleared up from being back in the bay area and i've been using a new product in my hair to make it more easy to manage naturally
Are you using deva curl?
omg you look sooo gorgeous in this video, katherine! also, i'm already scared of missing home lol. there's nothing that really replaces the comfort of your own bedroom or the meals your mom cooks.
YESSSS i actually like my college room more cause i got to be the one to decorate but my mom has become my best friend
Katherout I bet it’s so nice to have your own dorm!
I get so excited when I see you in my subscription box!!
Same
i get excited to read the comments after you see me in your sub box :-)
From your previous videos, I can tell that you are becoming so confident and owning who you are more and more--I love to see your progress. Keep on going!
thank you!
I am so glad I found such a genuine, relatable TH-camr like yourself! Please continue posting the videos that you do! You truly inspire and motivate me to try my best and discover the best version of myself! Thank you Katherine!!!
your natural hair is so so pretty!!!
thank you! it's finally growing out after a keratin treatment
I was excited about starting college this fall, but as move in day gets closer I'm getting super nervous 😅
Same!! I went to orientation a few days ago, and I'm more nervous and anxious now lol
SAME
loved this video!! as i leave for college this fall, i think "oh i wont be super homesick if im busy" but i do realize now that i really will miss my family and home
the business certainly affects that but you'll start to feel a pull toward your v comfortable home
you really do make the most helpful college videos!
such a lovely compliment
That college binge watch playlist is going to be my go to this summer!

The freshman 15 were a very real thing for me when I moved out and went to college :'D
yikes

You look so pretty in this video! I got so excitedd 2 videos in one day! #notifsquad
HECK YEAH I'VE ALWAYS WANTED A #NOTIFSQUAD
Couldnt agree more with that last point , college makes you love your home even more
I don't know why but your voice and sound quality is really soothing. I feel like there's a tiny echo or something and I really like it😂
I just completed the Katherout college binge.. thank ya for the tips!! Now I have somewhat of an idea on how to college
I'm going to University of Oregon in the fall and im so worried about all the huge changes. These videos really help! Thanks!
Making your own food is WAY cheaper than either paying for dorm food or eating out/postmating every meal. As long as you are smart and strategic about meal prep and how to use up perishable foods, it is really not very difficult to not be wasteful even when cooking for yourself.
Your college series is always Super Helpful!! 💗
PLEASED TO HEAR YA SAY THAT, VERONIKA!
I love the Belgian system! We're a small country, so most university students go home every weekend.. My parents live 30 minutes away from my dorm room!

I love college so much better then high school 📚😀
Lol this is so me, literally everything. I definitely feel like theres such a huge difference between freshman and sophomore year of college!
I WAS JUST BINGE-WATCHING YOUR COLLEGE VIDEOS! So excited for another one
EEEEEEEE
You're one of the only youtubers that actually responds to comments :) Thanks for doing that, it brightens my day every time you do :)
lol this is basically how my freshman year went. I thought all of that was true, then i slowly learned otherwise. BTW i love your videos, i watched them to psych myself up before i first moved into college last year!
Your videos bring me so much happiness
Great video girl! Can totally relate, going into my fourth year in the fall. Hope you're having a great summer :)
This video was super informative and useful!! I enjoyed it a bunch(:

Class of 2017!! SEN17RS!!

loooove this video as i do every college-related one you post :) your new tumblr looks really cool too :)
thanks, nicki!
+Katherout you're welcome! 😊
oh my god, this is the first video i watch of your channel, and i press sub just for the katherIN katherOUT pun :v LOL
I just want to say that I love your vids and I want to go to college or university in the USA and I life in the Netherlands (in Europe west to Germany). You really inspired me to follow my dreams and I just want to go with it. The good thing is is that my parents and siblings support me with it they say that they would always miss me but I can come home anytime I want.
family support is so so wonderful
i love your college vids so muchh :))
Katherine your eyes are making the moon jealous.
Loved this video!! Your college videos really help!

ah your compliment means so much!
Can you make a video about tips on live off campus? Like cooking schedules and saving money. Because I'm living off next year and wanted to know if you had any tips
I'm 15 and am so scared for college because I definitely want to leave my state to go to college but I know I'm going to miss my parents so much😭
Go to a college near your parents so you can visit sometimes but still get the fun experience!
I just got married over spring break of my Junior/Senior year of college. I graduate in December!
being mature does not equal disinterest in hookup culture. both lifestyles are ok (pls dont read this in an angry tone, u r gr8) im just sayinn
i'm not saying if you're mature you won't hookup or if that you hookup you're automatically immature. i am saying that a relationship requires maturity
thanks for being so awesome :)
my absolute pleasure
I feel like sometimes it's more of junior or senior 15 than freshman. Trying to finish everything on time especially your final project is stressful and def a lot of coffee will be involved.
Thank you for this video ! I always love your point of view :)
thanks for the sweet comment!
I get excited every time I get a notification that u posted a video. I have a problem that I hope u could help with can you make a video about how to get the most out of college?

The last one is so trueeee.Im currently homesick right now 😞
errrrg call your fam
+Katherout haha yesss but still the environment is quite different.Can you please do a video on "how to adapt to a college surrounding" especially its your first time being away from home 😊
Haha, I gained so much weight my freshman year(which just ended). Partly because of late night snacking and drinking honestly. Now I'm going to have to try and be more active haha
you go girl
I would really struggle with 8am classes because I live an hour away from my school. I'm registered for 4 classes between 11 and 3:30 for fall, MWF :)
yes 8AM with a commute is rough!
Class of 2022....
This is like a video version of a lot college memes xD
My college is 20 minutes away from home. So homesickness isn't a problem. :)
ah would love having more access to me fam
I love your eyes!😍
me too! eyes are pretty noice
I'll stick to having dining hall food bc I don't have to waste time cooking
I am not homesick
DON'T FORGET SOME PEOPLE GRADUATE IN 5 YEARS INCLUDING MYSELF
I love these college videos!! what are the food options at USC? Like are they open to vegan alternatives/allergy restrictions in the dining halls?
they have a vegan section at one of the three dining halls and an allergen free and gluten free area!
Katherine, do you have a recommendation for hanging unframed 4x6 photos on dorm walls? I'm not sure that command strips would be right, since the prints are so small..
I'm not Katherine, but one way is to hang them up clothesline style, or you can use that blue sticky putty that's made for posters!
Please do a video on making friends in college as a freshman! I'm super nervous about that next year!
wish there were a formula i could give you!
wish there were a formula i could give you!
what camera and lens do you use? ur video quality is great!!
SONY A7R and 55 1.8 Zeiss
Eww the Calvin Klein commercial before the video started made me wanna puke lol ... anyway love you katherout 😀😄
Love ur videos
thank you so much!!
This homesick thing thooo, very real lol
for sure
What about those of us who never graduated. I got married in college, biggest mistake of my life
I have a CDL, but I want to go to university. How old is too old to dorm/college?
FRESHMAN 15 IS REAL. ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE ON A MEAL PLAN. YOU THINK IT'S OKAY UNTIL IT'S THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW YOU'RE EATING A BURGER BECAUSE IT'S $6 AND THE SALADS ARE $8 OK IT'S REAL.
How do you cook food if you were to live in a dorm?
Hi I commented on your Keratin Perm video and I would love to have those questions answered, how perfect yours turned out makes me want to get one, so if you don't mind please answer my questions on your keratin video, thank you so much!
done!
like her voice
With the food aspect of your video instead of making your stuff fresh you can make it and then freeze it. That way it's not as expensive by eating out and you're not wasting food!
+Carly Marie 👍👍👍
I got the freshman -15, I'm a freshman no meal plan
Hi Katherine my name is Andrea in currently 24 & I'm barley going to transfer out of my community college, I'm very nervous to be made fun of because of my age. I feel like I'm to old and to late. I feel like everyone might or will be younger. Feel like a grandma compare to everyone else. I really want to have the college experience but insecure of my age.
i'm sorry but someone that wants to hookup and not date does not make them immature, it's just that they do not feel like dating atm..
+itslayth you're right! not what I meant
+itslayth it DOES take maturity to be in a committed relationship, though and that's the point I was making, not that hooking up makes you immature
What camera do you use? I love your quality and editing! :)
I love your lipstick so much? What is it?
Were you worried about the freshmen five?
good information
@katherout did you do IB in high school?
Good deal avoiding those LOANS BBY! Also your top is ca-yute
TANKS!! ASOS on sale hell yuss
How hard is college? Like what you learn or do i. classes is it hard? ( Mostly asking about state colleges)
I really want to get into USC and I was wondering how much ACT score weighs on getting in. I currently only have a 23 but I have straight A's and work hard.
it definitely weighs on getting in. But a school as selective as USC, getting in also comes down to luck and factors out of your control. There will be plenty of applicants that go in with perfect grades, amazing extracurriculars, and killer test scores and will get turned down. A 23 will definitely weigh negatively on you as most students there have a 30+. You should probably consider taking it again, but also know that there is no guarantee or magic formula to getting into highly selective schools.
+DearSparklesTV does she got to USC in California or in South Carolina?
California!
Wait which USC? Cali or Carolina?
Cali. she talks about exploring L.A.
lol. KatherIN, KatherOUT
How much sleep did you typically get this year?
7-8 hours!
do you keep the same roommate throughout college (freshman-senior)
generally, no. because most kids move off campus sophomore/junior year, they either don't have roommates or get different roommates once they leave the dorms. also, some people switch roommates after their first year.
I met my roommate first year by random pairing. We're both now going into fourth year and still live together off campus. If you like your roommate, you can move out with them, if not you can find new ones.
what school do you go to?
Video on how you met your partner? (:
I did 1 yeah as a grape yeah so idea should do it I 21
Legit boys who are like 15 will just go up to me be like hi I'm **** do you want to hook up? Haha it's not just college
yikes
yikes
I make videos about UK university/college! 😄 it's interesting to see the difference 🤔
Solution to the Food Problem: RAMEN NOODLES OR INSTANT RAMEN!!!!
