As a struggling high school student, I was able to turn my life around and get into my dream college -- but it turns out college isn't always what everyone makes it out to be.
You inspired me to drop out of uni and follow my real purpose. Your speak from the heart and have a wonderful soul. Wish you a life of abundance and prosperity
The best kept secret is to attend a lower-tier university and gain all the knowledge and not worry about the brand name. Once you have the knowledge, the sky is the limit.
Glad you had the experience/motivation to build a startup, but isn't the SafeBox idea equivalent to Amazon Lockers? that's a tough business to compete in
This video is weird. Not in like a way that makes you cringe, but so valuable, knowledge that can save someones life, but a hidden gem, as it only has 1000 views. Weird.
Okay, but be careful. Regardless of your dreams, you need viable work skills. Following your heart can lead to Heartbreak Hotel. The enormous homeless communities throughout the Bay Area are proof of that.
So I’m a transfer student debating between Berkeley & Uc Merced Merced because it’s smaller & more research opportunities. Cals grade deflation & housing scares me. Especially cause I want to attend grad school what would y’all choose I also got waitlisted at Davis
@@jenniferzhu6854 Hi Jennifer so I'm just waiting to receive my financial aid package from UCSD there was a hold on mine. Once I receive it I will compare them I'm hoping UCSD offers me as much aid as Cal. As of now, I'm leaning more toward UCSD because they don't have a housing crisis like Cal. What about you have you decided yet? Also congrats on getting in. :)
@@cetaceans4progress375 Hi Shelby! Thank you :) Congrats to you too!! Did you mean to say Merced instead of UCSD (since you originally were choosing between Cal and Merced)? I’m leaning towards Cal rn! But I don’t know what to do lol. UCSD has an amazing cogsci department 🥺 Cal’s location to the Bay Area is a plus for me and they also gave me spring admission which is what I wanted! The housing crisis at Cal scares me too.. and I’m not sure how housing will work for me as a spring admit lol. I know that Cal has these co-ops (cheap and an option if we don’t get housing) that we could apply to! If you want to check that out: www.bsc.coop
@@jenniferzhu6854 Hi Jennifer initially I was choosing between Merced & Berkeley but I also got accepted into UCSD so now it's between Berkeley & UCSD. I'm leaning more towards UCSD because I'm worried about Cal's grade deflation and I heard it's super competitive to get research Idk tho both are amazing options. Also, thank you for the link I will def check that out! Are you planning on going to grad school after undergrad?
@@cetaceans4progress375 ayy congrats on UCSD!! I guess we're choosing between the same schools then lol. Cal's grade deflation is definitely something I'm worried about too, but thankfully not all classes are graded on a curve (I think the weeder classes are the ones we need to be worried about grade deflation-wise). I also heard that it's quite difficult to get into research at cal. :( You prob know of her already, but in case if you don't.. Angelica Song is a youtuber from Cal and in one of her vids, she said that a lot of people there are thirsty for research positions lol. I'm not that interested in research tho. I don't think I'll be going to grad school right after undergrad. My goal is to work in industry right after graduating, but if I need more experience, then I'll apply to grad schools!
Good luck w/ your startup and trying to make it. Most fail. If you have an opportunity to get a degree from a top school, why not? Education, degree, is something that no one can ever take away from you and alumni connections can be invaluable. Life is a crap shoot so why not do as much as you can to increase your odds for success. Cal is not a hold your hand school but so is life. Completion builds character and makes your stronger when you go out to real world things will be easier. Just saying I would rather have a Berkeley degree and do a startup than be degree less. You will be saying “I’m a former Berkeley student dropped out to start a company” to leverage the Berkeley name soon enough.
I never got admitted by UC berkeley , I even had dispute with their officials. I hate them all. I moved to southern California and studied in Pepperdine University.
Lmao TH-cam is shady for recommending this to me 3 weeks after I committed to Cal
Bro I’m on week 5 at LA 😂
Currently a month in at Cal and this scares me
This should have at least a couple hundred thousand views the overall vibe and material is so spot on well done
Thanks for the kind words!

" ~~i don't know why people dreamed about a school, school sounded like a nightmare to me..." BAHAHAHAHA
Why was this the best video I've ever seen on TH-cam
Brilliant, I feel the same and am projected to start my freshman year at Cal in the fall :p
how's it going?

well said... now if you ever feel down, you've got the perfect video to get you back up
Glad to know I can help!

Haha thanks for the kind words Adrian!
This is such a hidden gem
You are really intelligent. Next July I'll be a PhD visiting student at Berkeley.
I love this video
this is fire
Great Vid
Did u eventually re-enroll? U didn't mention it, lol!
I found out in another video that the fantasy ends at the end of orientation, and the grind starts on the first day.

Hey! I think I saw your comment on another cal video. Have you made a decision yet? I’m deciding between cal and ucsd.
