Giving My Nephew REALISTIC College Advice
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มิ.ย. 2024
- My nephew, Daniel, is off to college! While I'm very proud of how hard he's worked to get here, I can't help but feel I can offer some advice that he might find useful. So, I put on my professor suit and welcomed Daniel to syllabus day at Doctor Mike University, where I give insight into everything I learned during my many years of higher education. We talk about things like textbooks, dorms, roommates, making friends as a freshman, parties, adderall, relationships, majors, student loans, debt, college sports, dunking in basketball, and so much more. Are there any questions you have about college? Or maybe some tips Daniel can use as well? Leave them down below!

Aww I remember when this kid came on this channel with his brothers and they answered questions! Now they are all grown up! Uncle Mike seems like a cool guy! 😊
@Don't read profile picture
Trust me, I won't.
Right?? Crazy how time flies
@@Instabruh.User.. that’s a creepy comment

This is precious. The car conversation shows the kid has been raised right. Such a good uncle!
Nah I'd take it and sell it to pay for college lmao
He was talking about giving the car to him temporarily
I'd rather get a bike than cars.
They get into traffic jam every time.
At least I can maneuver my way out of it in between.
If only my country public transportation is as great and cheap as japan. Probably I'd rather have none at all.
Parking on IU campus is a nightmare. You have to park at the stadium which is far away from everything, the fee is ridiculous, and you have to move it every time there is a game and pay to park it somewhere else. He’s smart to not take a car.
@@mattkang6816 you can’t sell the car if a family member gives it to you unless you want to alienate them. But I think he also realizes the obvious logistical problems that come with owning a Lamborghini with no money.
I seriously couldn't stop laughing. Dr. Mike may be - and is - the cool uncle who made it on TH-cam, but he's still the Millennial uncle to a Gen Z kid, and watching him really feel that age difference for a minute made my Gen X heart smile. Best of luck, Daniel! Enjoy college!
It made my gen z heart smile too 😂
I'm also a millennial and work in retail and has some Gen z college kids in the other night talking about clothes being "drip" and I felt old for a moment.
@@kaylapounds1359I legit thought its wet for like 1/10th of a second😂
“Chest compressions and all that..yeahhh runs in the family” I LOVE THIS 3:17
I respect his modesty in not wanting to flex a car that isn't his and wanting something more low key. He's been raised well!
Yeah but he could get a lot of girls at college with a Lambo
@@fredwerza3478 He can without it. He is a good looking fellow.
@@hansoloq3467 good looks only take you so far --- girls are still impressed by guys with money
@@fredwerza3478 ☠️☠️☠️
@@fredwerza3478 Yeah..the wrong girls
oh my lord! daniel’s grown up so quickly! last i remember he was explaining the menstrual cycle in mike’s old video 😅
Yeah

he got ruined😬😬😬
@@Instabruh.User.. wth
Nearly died laughing at the "dry campus" question.
It's not a dry campus because it rains a lot... Occasionally... Bless his heart ❤️❤️
As a recent college graduate, My best advice for new students would be to get involved on campus as much as possible so you can start building up your resume and making connections with people. Plus at some schools, certain clubs might give you priority registration which gives you the opportunity to register for classes early! Best of luck to your nephews Mike!
I second this!!!
3rd. The amount of people in my cohort that didn’t have ANY extracurriculars or research experience or internships until senior year’s capstone was crazy. It’s very important for some majors in order to get a job or go to grad school.
Collegiate secret societies are especially good for that; much better than fraternities. My university sadly had none. And those white tie student-professor banquets can be super-prestigious.
Agree with this. You don't want to be rushing your senior year to get connections and everything done (ie. Internships). Have fun and don't be afraid to get involved in the college community! Who knows? You may end up with life-long friendships.
(Clubs are also super fun because you get to meet others who also share your hobbies/interests)
This is one of my biggest regret after college and postgrad. I should have built that resume from the very start.
“This video’s gonna get views cuz I’m in it” 😂 Dr. Mike your entire family is so wholesome and refreshing. I’m wishing your nephew the best of luck at his university! This is such an exciting time in life!
I love their uncle-son relationship. Now that he is getting older, Mike can have more grown-up humor with him. This chat also helps me, because I’m starting college this august.
Me but next year in Australia
Well good luck and have fun!👍
Dry campus part cracked me up
@@maraisfan4life517 I’m so happy for you :)
Me too i am going to pharmacy school this October i am really really excited 😊
Omg when he said…”no, no one knows who you are” 😳💀😂 This was so fun to watch! My daughter is also leaving for college in a few weeks.
Kid "who's your daddy" mike " who taught you that! " "unacceptable "
I cant!😂
Y'all really make my day
Hoosier daddy that was the joke
It’s “Hoosier daddy” cause Indiana.
Doctor Mike being a protective uncle is hilarious🤣
“Who taught you that?”
“Unacceptable.”
Kudos to his parents. How transparent, open and clean hearted he is.
I can honestly see my oldest son answering the "Dry campus" question with that same reasoning. I love it! ❤️❤️
His nephew is so Gen-Z! 😂my younger cousins are all like this, they have that laidback, chill attitude that some ppl may view as careless but in fact these kids are smarter than the previous generations! 😂 good luck Daniel on your new college experience!! 😂👍👍
My gen z sis is more like loud music in public places, random dancing tics (not a condition) and eyerolling everytime
Haha right I doubt it barely
According to the Center of Economic Research in Norway, they found that iq scores decline by an average of 7 pts per generation, i.e. the ones that come after the previous. They may be smarter in the realm of tech, but not necessarily across the board.
must be just your cousins. Most of Gen Z are crazy just like every other gen lol
@@danduntz9112 You do realize that IQ is a terrible way of measuring intelligence right? Usually speaking the next generation will be more intelligent, due to having a larger access to information and knowledge.
I love that their relationship is based on "roasting" each other. Congrats Daniel, thanks Dr Mike for the advices and Hi mom!
I have an uncle like that roasting now and then, I tried avoiding him chatting.. Hate roasting why old people don't understand that.
I remember a time when people had balls and this was normal, now y’all treat it like some rare thing
That 'babysitting gig' really got me 😂 it's cute how dr mike calls his mom as mama bear but man, time flies so fast never thought he would be this big now like I mean, college?? Already?? 🥺
Daniel is so chilled he'll handle anything coming his way. Best of luck to him.
I think the young man is gonna do great in college, honestly he seems so ready to handle himself and he has a great support system should he need it as well! Congratulations on graduating and starting school Daniel!
If he is smart he will be asking his uncle Mike for a lot of advice about surviving college life!
@@fredwerza3478 maybe off camera idk.
This guy seems way too laidback to ask him on camera if you know what I mean.
He drops out after a semester guarantee it😂
@@austinbatton9212did he really?or your assuming?
I can't stop laughing 😂🤣 boy served Dr.Mike a big old piece of humble pie when he said, "nobody knows who you are" which of course isn't true but the genuine delivery was amazing 🤩
Haha funny. My soon to be 18 yo son also just declined his grand parents offering him a car for his birthday.
He's being smart. He's going to uni, he doesn't want to be working for car insurance and gas. He prioritizes his studies. He's also definitely not materialistic and just takes the train or rides his bike to go see his friends. Self worth and self esteem come from within, not from expensive cars or clothes
I love how ur asking him questions to make him more aware and prepared. Love your content
This guy is awesome. He chose a lesser value car. That shows a lot about his character
I know and dr mile was dogging on him for it? That’s very respectable
I like how smart, and collected he is honestly.
Seriously I was impressed.
and he wears thrifted clothes. 🥺
He dont want to prove that is normal person, not rich person.
Daniel really told Mike "No one knows who you are." 💀💀💀 This boy is a straight savage! Mike is a highly accomplished medical professional! 😂
Plus 9.8 million people disagree
@@ameliaoconnor8734 9.8 million ppl: *are we no ones to u?*
I guess so, all of the education, medical information, donations, fashion shows and magazines that Mike has been in and to his nephews he's still just "Uncle Mike". 😂 But it's great to see down to Earth moments with him and his nephews.
this relationship is mad, so laid back and chill but you care deeply for each other and he has a lot of respect for you. Dude is gonna love college
Dr. Mike talking with his nephew is so adorable. I love both of their humors
I’ve never seen some one less prepared but still enthusiastic about college 🤣🤣
Why is he less prepared? He acts like a typical kid about to be a college freshman.
Less enthusiastic? Maybe. Less prepared? Not at all. Have you been to college as an 18 year old? lol
neurotic over-thinker ≠ prepared
relaxed personality ≠ unprepared
So happy Doctor Mike grew his hair back. Such a joy to see.
True💀
I think he recorded this video before he shaved his hair
@@hayyaanhassan7579 he mentioned prime day during the wardrobe
Agreed 💛
@@khalilahd.This girl is everywhere
Having nephews,specially when they grow up and start to bound with you,is the best feeling❤️ This whole conversation was soo sweet and he was like "can't wait til he stop asking emberassing questions in front of camera🙄". 😁❤️❤️❤️
”No one knows who you are”-nephew to dr.Mike with soon 10m subs
Dr. Mike: is it a dry campus?
Daniel: no
Dr. Mike: so there's a bar?
Daniel: oh that's what you meant by dry. I thought you were asking if the campus was wet or dry
Sam: *dead*
Daniel: what it rains a lot-
help 😭
and not Dr. Mike attacking Daniel with a pillow 🤣
LMFAOO
And the constant laughing at the backround is the ~BEST~😂😂😂🤣
@@xcileter2063 agreed 🤣🤣
I just finished college and it's great seeing Daniel getting prepped for it too. I think I smiled for 10 minutes straight for this video lol.
I was smiling too 😀
Mee three lol
I hope he majors in finance with a minor in sports management lol, instead of a sports management degree or regular business degree. Big difference
Congratulations to your nephew for graduating and going to college! I bet he is going to do great! I wish him the best of luck. Actually, I’m going into college myself, so this was very helpful. Thank you!
Best interview ever, Dr Mike ! I love this so much, I also remember that you had all your nephews on answering questions and.....geez time flies! He's all grown up!
My best advice for college is to please make time for self-care. I would be in so much better shape today if I had taken better care of myself in college. Also, manage your time wisely. Plan out your schedule and have a copy of it on your phone and posted somewhere in your dorm room. This will help keep the cram sessions and all nighters to a minimum.
Thank you so much for this!
@@nafiamaliat27 You're welcome!
I know right? All my friends keep eating junk food because they don't like food from their colleges and I just keep getting anxious thinking what if I do the same in a few days?!!
I went crazy my freshman year --- slept in late every day, skipped a bunch of classes, and ate junk food all the time
@@ThePotterWasp If need be, find out what resources are available to students through the college you attend.
His nephew sounds hella chill, and laidbacked lol. He's already in College crazy, and great.
Probably hella stoned too
@@Sara.M95 exactly what I just thought
@@Sara.M95 he does seem like a stoner? Like nothing bothers him LOL.
@@Sara.M95 Fr
Don't take an 8am class. You think you can, but college is different. You'll end up running on maybe four hours of sleep a night. Talk to the teachers and other students, and make those connections. Lastly, make time for some self-care. College is a great time to learn many things about yourself and the world. You may be tempted to do everything, but taking time to replenish is so helpful in the long run
As a millennial when I talk to my younger cousins who are in middle school, high school, and college- I’m sure this is how I sound to them! But I’d like to think it’s easier for them to talk to us than their parents, and they take us more seriously. We can have real talk since school wasn’t that long ago. Great video Dr. Mike!
Recent IU grad here (2018). Congratulations - Kelley is a great school! IU is a dry campus, but Daniel is right, it does rain a lot! And the wind can get pretty strong, so highly recommend a good umbrella (everyone's always turned inside-out quickly). A car was also unnecessary because the IU shuttles and Bloomington buses are great. Good luck and have fun!
Hiya
2016 Poli Sci grad. Just uplifting all that you said especially about the shuttles and the storms. Not to mention the campus is historic (200+ years) and filled with creaks and noises and they can be a lot during storms so buckle up! Be safe, and good luck! There ain’t no place like Old IU!
IU is dry now?! Man I'm getting old.
thats why im going to iupui🤝
I have friends going to IUB it's crazy- I'm going to IUPUI in just a couple of days
If he's doing sports management, that's school of public health (SPH). Freshman year a car isn't necessary, but if he ever moves off I would hit up uncle Mike for a ride 😄
As someone who's also joining college this August, this video is so helpful right now and puts a lot of things in perspective for me! Thankyou Dr Mike!
Good luck!
@@Luis-tr1yj thanks a lot! 🥰❤️
Wah congrats! Hope u enjoy this chapter of your life ❤️😊
Sameee
Good luck, You've got this!
Dr.Mike seems to have such a *nerdy gentleman* attitude and his nephew has such a… a *frat boi* attitude 😅😆
Ikr hahhh
Doctor Mike, I love your relationship with your nephews!!
It’s a funny but serious conversation… good job Dr. Mike for giving him some sound advice
I work on a college campus and this is 100% the freshmen every year. XD Had to share with my coworkers. Lol. Best of luck in this new adventure! You have no idea what you’re in for. ^_^
Dr Mike went from being the cool uncle to the uncle the kids are embarassed by 😅
😍 not a kid anymore, but a young man... I love the chill/humility/naivety/and practicality!! Very smart to not get a flashy car for university, dont need the added stress of having it stolen or have ppl wanting you just for the 'money/nice things'... thrift shopping is fantastic, you can save money on buying things still in good condition and use the extra money you saved for other things like tuition/groceries/having fun.... mama bear raised her boy right 👏👏👏
So I don’t know how he studies, but my biggest piece of advice is to study to learn and not to memorize. In high school, I could just memorize stuff and do good. When I started college a couple of years ago, I very quickly realized that doesn’t work. You have to actually learn the material.
You’re gonna do great Daniel! Good luck!
Yes!! Being able to explain the material back to yourself (or another person) verbally helps you know that you actually KNOW and understand the material.
@@han.nah. does this actually work? Cause last time I tried to understand a course I almost failed and just decided to memorize instead.
@@donoibagere5057
You've got a point. I always put my trust in the lecture notes because that's usually what the test was taken from. Unlike Mom, though, I never copied them over. I would study from my notes that looked like chicken scratch. I read the books, and that gave me depth, especially Math and Science proofs.
But projects would always require field study techniques, so we did learn to use and figure academic - taught techniques in the field. (Organic Chemistry was in labs.)
I used to spend fifteen attempt at the first math problem and each homework assignment. Same for the second problem. The rest of them seem to go smoothly, but the first two always screwed up my brain. The homework I was given really did help me learn what I needed, regardless of the struggle. .
That's basically the goal of college --- to be a learner and not just a memorizer
@@fredwerza3478 yep
Lol I loved this. I wish Dr. Mike's nephew a fun and safe time at college. Dr. Mike, nice suit. Bring the suits back.
Thank you Dr.Mike for posting this ❤️
IU Employee here …
- It’s a dry campus but off campus it’s a different story. It had a long reputation for being a party school.
- Basketball here is legendary
- Yeah, don’t buy the books
- Car, freshman really don’t need one and it’s a level of responsibility that not all students are ready for their first year. Also, parking kinda sucks for students on campus
-Nobody says Hoosier Daddy 😂
"You wrote an IOU to IU" killed me 😂
Mike needs to write a book of his jokes or something because I think everyone would read it
Agreed!
Yo that was a solid joke for real.
Such a great idea!!!!
love your profile
I dunno how Mike comes up with these gems so quick 😂
Although uncle Mike/doc was serious, Daniel had me laughing. He’s a whole grown man now. How time flies. Best of luck to him on this next journey!
Dr. Mike is brutal!! Gotta love it.
Doc, this is the best video you've ever made! Amazing!!!
"Aren't you, like, 40?"
"Do I look 40?"
"45, give or take"
He said that with such CONVICTION 😭💀
And not Mike being the same age as Taylor Swift 😭
😭🤣🤣
Dr. Mike, you should do a video about your experiences in pre-med & med school because my son is planning on going to med school and it would be great to show him a video about some things to expect.
It's bittersweet to think of my oldest son going off to college next year. I am excited for him to take the next step in life and become more independent, but it's scary to think of him on his own.
I actually have a video on my pre-med and med school journey! Feel free to search it up, and good luck to your son!
I love Dr. Mike but I LOVE his nephews lol they are so adorable
I am so glad you posted this… it’s so funny. I wish your nephews the best on the journey in higher education.
He's so grown up now, your sister has raised a humble but funny kid. Love how he gives you 💩😂
Hello
I can’t believe he is already in college! That’s absolutely insane!
IKR
Agree 🥺
If Sam's laughter could be bottled and sold, I'd buy a million😂😂. Goodluck in college Daniel👍🏼❤️
OMG tears steaming down my face from laughing. This was epic!!! Loved this episode 💓. Also loved the family aspect of it all 🥰
Sam’s laugh is everything
Aww, seems it was yesterday when Daniel and his brothers were answering Dr. Mike's questions, and now he is going to College! That's sweet! ☺
I’m happy to see a newer video! They are always great videos!
This is the most wholesome content I've ever watched on this channel.
Brace yourself youngling. Your path will be under the hands of this man. You are in capable hands.
As someone who is also going into college and as a first generation student, this made my significantly less stressed 💜
He’s not wrong 😭😭 I haven’t watched a video from this channel in a long time and I only clicked this time because his nephew is hilarious!!!
Aww I remember when this kid came on this channel with his brothers and they answered questions! Now they are all grown up! Uncle Mike seems like a cool😊
“do you know your tuition cost?”
“no”
“how much is it?”
mike tripping 💀
Daniel with the “dry campus” just made me laugh 😂 soooooo much hahah
SAMEE
Agree with the waiting for the relationship. All the people who have gotten in a relationship my first semester of freshman year have all had terrible experiences: toxic relationship, trouble with friendships, and messy breakup. Wait until at least your second semester. I’m a senior now!
I love this Uncle-Nephew relationship. Wish I could have a relationship like that, but I got social anxiety and I'm also super introverted irl. That's why that relationship advice is real. I'm attending a boarding school (not college, still too young for that lol) and trust me, that relationship advice is real. You get in, make everyone your friend. Your teacher, your whole year, the years above you (your seniors) and later on the years under you (your juniors). Trust me, it'll save you one day when you need it.
I bet there is relatively close to an equal percentage of people who thought Mike was a little funny cringe, Daniel was a little funny cringe, and both were lol. I love these kinds of videos because it gives you the confidence to just be yourself.
I'm going to be a senior this fall so I'll REWATCH THIS AGAIN next summer!
Bro being this guys nephew must be the coolest thing
So sweet! Love these family vids. ❤️
Love when you do vids with your nephews! It's always really fun watching these kind of vids!!!
Funniest video you’ve made, love the subtle humor.
You know Dr. Mike's going to make sure all goes Well!
you should do a video with Daniel talking about how his first-year of college went!
Wow, time flies! He's so grown up! This was such a fun video to watch!
Love this! it's so heartwarming how he shows that we can be an example to our younger relatives! family is everything ❤️
This was great! ❤ Dr. Mike your a great uncle.
I’m an incoming senior and this made me feel a little happier about college applications. Really relate to his energy. Definitely cackled my way through the video.🤪
This is amazing. The prefect advice from our favorite doctor.
Loved this! Can we get an update from Daniel after he’s been at IU for a few months? Also, Mike needs to wear suits more often 🙌
This is such a nice concept thank you Dr Mike❤❤
Great advice for freshman college students and very entertaining!
Why does this feel like an interrogation rather than giving advice?😂Also Daniel's winking. Great video!
I literally JUST watched the videos that you filmed with your nephews 3 years ago and to go from that to seeing Daniel all grown up is trippy.
Loved this video Mike. Your such a good uncle 🥰
I like that he was realistic about his first car and wanted an older one that wasn't flashy. Good kid.
I LOVE their relationship. Uncle/nephew goals🥰
Dr. Mike is so nice with his nephew! It's awesome.
Omgwaad why was this so wholesome to watch...❣️
I LOVE YOUR NEPHEWS SO MUCH MAN
