I forgot to say this in the video but LEAVE A COMMENT with your best & worst college/school purchases 👀 I'm v interested in reading them!!
My best was a collegeblock, and my worst is everything different, no joke hahaha (I don't go to college that why I just wrote something random)
The first semester I spent a lot on books but definitely cheaper than most bc my high school teacher told me where to look
Haven’t started college yet but I have some decor I already want to return LMao… but I got basically everything I need and everything else I’m going to end up buying when I have been living there and know what I need.
My every time best college and everyday life purchase is a PLANNER
If you are a commuter, invest in making your car organized and clean. Get it detailed before each semester. It will make your commute so much nicer because you aren’t starting your day in a messy room
Bad:
3:00 northface backpack
4:30 textbooks from bookstores
6:30 too much decor for floor
7:40 tidepods
9:40 too many snacks
Good:
10:30 MacBook Pro
11:35 spare laptop and phone charger
11:50 mattress topper
12:50 prime student
13:20 planner
14:30 AirPods/ wireless earbuds
15:05 lights
15:50 medicine
16:50 slippers
✨You’re welcome✨
❤❤❤ thank you
Thank you 🩷
thanks for saving me 19 minutes
no but the medicine drawer is so essential and no one talks about it! tums, pepto bismol, advil, emergen c, nyquil, will get you through almost anything when you're feeling shit and since college kids can't take care of themselves you'll also prolly save some friends asses too!
RIGHT!!!!
Find people who are majoring in health care usually they got stuff lol
Can u explain what the medical thing u said is used for? Pls help
when you mentioned the tide pod thing...I got FIRED UP. I literally can't with how many things those ruined of mine. Bought them once & never again.
IM SO GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE LMFAOOO
Try putting it at the bottom
@@fionnabenjamin1169 I put them in first and then put my clothes into the washer ! Helps so much
I've found that soap sheets are a good combination of pods and liquid! Convient and doesn't ruin clothes.
The fact that she had to pay to do laundry is crazy. It should be free for dorm students! Also, I had the same experience with the tide pods.
I’ve toured 6 different colleges and only one charged for laundry
honestly i feel like people lowkey have such high expectations for college and when they don’t receive those expectations they get discouraged when in reality everyone has a different college experience. there is no right specific one and it’s just all about how you want to get through college. not the way you think you should but the way you want too
this is very very true
Hannah: “Not everyone has a planner, riddle me that”
Me who has never used a planner in college: *starts sweating nervously*
HOW
I never did either?
I don’t either! I mean, I might get one this semester since it’s kinda my first semester of college. But I’ll get one and then forget to use it or follow it. I prefer just using the calendar on my iPad
Is usually just had a small notebook as a to do list. Planners that I’ve seen have a lot of extra things in it, it would overwhelm me, so I found it easier to just write down what I needed to do for the day in a notebook or sticky note. Also canvas would usually have a calendar with due dates. That is unless a teacher didn’t upload assignments online until they were due, then I absolutely needed the notebook.
Hannah talking about her laptop like they were in a committed relationship is the funniest thing 😂 that’s love
my longest, healthiest relationship ❤️
Best purchase: stocking up on binders and flashcards before they sell out
Worst purchase: Buying the wrong textbooks :/
I think even applies to Highschool 😅
or buying the book with the access code that you later find out that you don't need... #rip200dollars
The aesthetic of Hannah’s channel is just incredible 😩
thank you 🥺
actually the “post grad perspective” is going to be really helpful , so thank god u have fomo LMAOO
YAY I'm glad
The thing that is just so special about Hannah’s channel is how inviting and warming it is. It’s like fire in the middle of winter. When you see it you just rejoice! ILY GIRL! I was dying for some new Hannah content! ( please tell me I’m not the only person that is constantly binging all of Hannah’s back to school videos?)
Yup. I’m starting my masters this month and I still binged all her school videos.
you are SO SWEET and this made my day. thank you ❤️🥺
Me too
I didn’t go to college right after high school and I never took school seriously. I eventually got fed up with the crappy jobs and enrolled and her videos have given me so much advice and honestly got me through my first semester 💖
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU
@@HannahElise ❤️ thank you
?????????
if you're moving away for college bring ALLERGY MEDS!! i was allergic to something in the air in the residence buildings (probably mold tbh) and had the exact same allergic reaction every time i moved back to campus. it's something you might not think about but if you have seasonal allergies or allergies to mold, pollen, anything like that you definitely want to be prepared just in case you're allergic to something on campus
Best purchase: my Macbook - literally can't do anything for school without it! 🤩❤️
Worst purchase: buying instead of renting textbooks that I'd never want to keep after the class was over🙃
Yesss MacBook. Mines so old now but it’s still killing it
Oh that’s so interesting bc I have the opposite experience! My best friend had a MacBook that she bought freshman year, $1,800 with additional Apple Care, and hers broke down all the time! Her keyboard broke, her screen broke, and sometimes it would literally freeze in the middle of a task. She even got it looked at by the Genius Bar and they replaced it and she still had the same issues. In my opinion, MacBooks are totally not worth it for the price but also I’m not trying to hate or judge, you do you 💕
@@tacobella6474 I heard that a lot. What brand of laptop do you suggest?
hi I just got a MacBook Air but people have been telling me to invest in the MacBook Pro because it’ll last longer and is faster?? Did you have the air or the pro and which would you recommend??
@@tacobella6474 omg I’m so sorry that happened to your friend! I know how frustrating that can be.
i'm a real one.
also the hydroflask might get alot of hype, but honnestly? one of the best things i ever bought. i can not stress how much joy and just tiny bit of exstra energy it gave me to have ice cubes in my drink THE WHOLE DAY
I. 100%. AGREE.
Especially once I realized my hydro actually DID fit in my pocket on my backpack (just took some shoving) - it was so convenient to not have to fill my water up 1000x a day 😂
Y E S. Ive had mine for 4 years and it is still in good condition.
amazon is great for textbooks if they’re not in high demand ! one thing my one professor told me is that if a bunch of students are searching for the same book amazon will set their prices higher due to demand !
omg that's rude, I buy mine from there SO FAST after the prof says which one we need so I try to get ahead of the demand 😂
Hannah’s rant on why everyone needs a planner has me ROLLING!! 😂
ITS TRUE THO
A fun fact for tide pods: if/when the remnants get stuck on your clothing, you can legitimately just soak the item in warm water and peel it off! Also, it usually happens when you don't put the tide pod in first (before clothing)!
Nonetheless love u girl
how did u know that the coffee slurping bit is one of my favorite things ever HAHHAAHH
Haha same!
Same lol
The gasp I let out when your first worst was the North Face backpack! I LOVE my North Face backpack, I legit bought it for my freshman year of high school and it survived all 4 years of high school holding my heavy AP textbooks and notebooks. I even used it during my freshman year of college and I'm planning to use it for my sophomore year. Literally the best backpack I've ever owned omg
maybe yours was a different style than mine??? I swear I could not fit ANYTHING in there 😂😭
Which style is yours?
second on this!! I have the plain black Jester and it has a laptop sleeve plus water bottle holder and smaller pouch in the front so i can fit my computer/pens plus space for books and even my whole makeup bag. only complaint is that it can be weirdly shaped but def get one with more pockets
North face is terrible for me too. Jansport !!!
I have food allergies and wasn’t able to eat a lot in the dining hall so my best purchase was a mini fridge as big as the dorm allowed! Another good purchase was getting one of those expanding file organizer folder things instead of buying a big binder.
YES FINALLY SOMEONE SPILLED THE TEA ABOUT THE NORTH FACE BACKPACKS. also that mattress topper is the best thing i've ever laid upon I SWEAR
love the tips :) just to add on detergent for laundry if you dont want to carry a huge bottle of detergent to the laundry room just buy like a mini bottle and fill that and bring that whenever you have to do laundry - its 10000x more convenient :)
Yes! Im doing this as well :)
very smart
this is so helpful!!! my fav detergent doesn’t have a smaller version so i’ll definitely be doing this
The wait the whole week is always so worth it, I mean, look at her 🥺🥺🥺❤❤❤
Post graduate perspective just makes me feel like you’re an older sister trying to show me the way and I love it. Thank you!! 💗💗
that makes me happy 🥺
I have to say that I’ve tried to use a planner so many times throughout high school that I’m not getting one for college. I’ll still write stuff down, but getting a planner for me is redundant because I know I won’t use it sadly. Just wanted to say that it’s ok to not get a planner as long as you have a system to remember your assignments that works for you!
i feel the exact same way. every school year i get a planner and stop using it after a couple of weeks. i usually just either forget what i have to do or write it in my phone lol.
me knowing I’m gonna watch the whole video without stopping when I’m not even close to college 🤪🤪
"This one may shock people... TIDE PODS." I died!
but really tho...hate them 😂
@@HannahElise I thought from the thumbnail you were going to hype them up, and I was like no way I am going to comment and shut this vid down. Those tide pods SUCK. They literally would stain my clothes.
I GOT SO EXCITED SEEING THE TITLE!! I'm an incoming sophomore this fall which means I'll finally be on campus, so I have been BINGING these videos and the queen herself made one :)
sameeee
Hey I'll be an incoming sophomore this fall too :) Starting my college experience in 2 weeks now ahhh!! Which school will you be attending?
Me too I can’t wait!
i just want to say that i really appreciate the time stamps you put in your videos! it makes it seem organized and one can easily navigate etc.
love it! :)
yes, the planner!!! i have just finished my freshman year last week and thank god i have listened to every youtuber's advice to have a planner and it's so so useful. i wished that i had a planner since i was in HS, yes lol.
My best purchase : the previous years exams from the university's library (like if I have a prof that taught the previous years I can buy their past exams to have an idea before the exams season)
My worst purchase : buying big notebooks
Woah what you can buy past exams?? Do you just go to the school library and ask the front desk workers?
how'd u know that i needed this? like right as i started picking stuff out for school u drop this video. LOVE YOU
My best college purchase is my iPad Pro!! It’s literally the best for taking notes
Same!! As an English major, it was GREAT not having to carry around pamphlets of readings or multiple novels in addition to my textbooks! I started with a iPad Mini and recently upgraded to an iPad Air 2020 for grad school!
Tbh I was having a tough time completing my assignment rn . And suddenly ur video popped on my screen ❤️❤️ I got refreshed watching u 🤍
This helped me so so much, thank you! I’m a college freshman this year and definitely needed to hear this!
you have literally inspired me so much to start school and you’re helping me so much with that. i’m making a skin care routine i usually just wash my face 💀
I rewatched your grad video this morning, had me tearing up. I love your videos, whenever I'm in need of motivation I'll binge them lol hope post grad life is treating you all the well :)
i subscribe to few of college vloggers, but hannah is my fav. the way shes just being herself and it feels shes being honest to everything that she said in the vlog. the way shes mot afraid of being natural, without makeup and i remember watching her bideo when she was skinny, and now seeing her this thic, thought shell be insecure or things but the fact that shes not!! shes confident abt it. i love thay energy she brings. and the way shes not ashamed having a breakout, not cover them in front of camera (ik she might be stressed abt it but shes confident with it). hannah you're awesome!!!!! hannah really screams "ACNE IS NORMAL"
I have the same exact mattress topper and it is amazing! Definitely worth the money as you can keep reusing it for as long as you live in the dorms. Making sure you can sleep comfortably is important!
You have no idea how helpful this video is, THANK YOU HANNAH, ily
THANK YOU
- Sincerely an incoming college freshman who has no idea what she’s doing😅
YOU'RE WELCOME
-sincerely, me
love the "you need a planner" rant
btw love you and your videos and your vibe like phuleez is so soothing and nice
I graduated college 6 years ago, but I come here just to see and listen to Hannah because she’s just so adorable 🤩 wish you the best, girl
Before I started college I watched EVERY video Hannah made related to college. It definitely saved me so much!
I am 43 and I still do "back to school" shopping! I love office supplies! Have a great day! L💜ve you, Hannah
I am so excited for this video! This is the moment I wait for my entire week!
This channel is my emotional support help during uni, thank you hannah your videos give me life ❤️🌺
Another idea that goes along with the “best & worst” theme is “the best & worst parts about college in general”
This channel is literally my stress buster✨
Underrated backpacks are the ones you get from Disneyland when you spend a certain amount of money. They have a lot of pockets. It has a patted down laptop compartment (like very patted). The backpacks are big and comfortable to wear all day. I've used them since 1st grade and they backpacks last for at least 4 years if you take good care of them
AirPods are also useful when you need to go to the bathroom and you’re in a zoom call. You still get to listen in to what the teacher is saying even if you’re not in front of your computer
YESSS LOL
I just bought your merch and OHMYGOD! It is so comfy just like cotton and it just fits me so well, I am satisfied DUH
Hannah’s video without slurping feels so incomplete 🥲 checked in and rewatched an old video just for the SLURPSS ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm entering college for the first time next September & I'm rly scared rn thank you, Hannah, for making this vid it is very helpful and makes me feel like I have some sort of control. Luv u sm❤💫
OMG, OMG Hannah, I realized every single point you mentioned lately and I wished I was told about them before. Many thanks, your advices are realist and very helpful!!
Slug books turned out to be my bff for buying/renting books. I got plaaayyyeeddd my first semester of college and I def learned my lesson 🤧
I use slug books too! Game changer!
LOVE THAT WEBSITE
I think we all got played first semester tbh
Your back to school videos have changed the way I prepare for school. Ty Hannah your amazing!!!
Also the best thing I bought for college has to be a key lanyard. Lanyards help me find my keys faster.
it’s now 2 a.m. in Thailand and yes I’m waiting for Hannah’s new video 💖
one of my worst purchases for college was my iPad. bought it freshman ur and literally only used it for doodling on procreate😂 i much preferred laptop notes or even spiral notes, very jealous of anyone who took pretty notes on their iPad but IT COULD NOT BE ME and it still pains me
I honestly would not have bought an iPad if I wasn’t a youtuber LOL I use mine so much but it’s all for TH-cam related stuff!
A video I didn't know I needed. Thank you, Hannah! I'm a real one😊
Hannah is so pretty! I love how she does her makeup! It always looks so good! 💕🧡
already fallen in love with your video😍
ok you literally SAVED me, i´m going to college in two years and was in the dark ab supplies
Oh my gosh I JUST looked up videos about what/what not to bring to college and you post this video right after!
Another textbook/bookstore tip: see if you school's bookstore does price matching -- mine did! That way you can purchase from your bookstore (so supporting your school and helping to keep prices down for the future) but getting it at the more affordable price!
Hannah posting just makes my days 10x better
I'm always bored and I don't want to do anything but a soon as I watch a video of yours I get excited and motivated to start thank you Hannah♡
Hannahs videos always make my day😭🥺🥰 Love you QUEEN🙇🏽♀️💗🧚♀️✨
who has been here since she was a college freshman ???
Im getting emotional-- TT
College freshman, but yes it’s crazy 😭
@@HannahElise lemme just correct that lol
@@HannahElise
In a foreign field she lay
Lonely soldier, unknown grave
On her dying words she prays
Tell the world of Paschendale
Relive all that she's been through
Last communion of her soul
Rust your bullets with her tears
Let me tell you 'bout her years
Laying low in a blood filled trench
Kill time 'til my very own death
On my face I can feel the falling rain
The dread that I may
never see my friends again to watch TikTok cringe or share the cute girl power and positive energy vibes with them
In the smoke, in the mud and lead
Smell the fear and the feeling of dread
Soon be time to go over the wall
Rapid fire and end of us all
Whistles, shouts and more gun fire
The glow of cute girl power and force of positive energy vibes push us on as we rage across the battlefield
Lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire
Battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb
Be reunited with my dead friends soon
Many soldiers eighteen years
Drown in mud, no more tears
Surely a war no-one can win
Killing time about to begin
Home, far away
From the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away
But the war, no chance to live again
The bodies of ours and our foes
The sea of death it overflows
In no man's land, God only knows
Cute girl power and positive energy vibes all around us as we rage onward
Into jaws of death we go
Crucified as if on a cross
Allied troops they mourn their loss
German war propaganda machine
Such before has never been seen
Swear I heard the angels cry
So much girl power and positive vibes you could feel them in the air around us
Pray to god no more may die
So that people know the truth
Tell the tale of Paschendale
Cruelty has a human heart
Every man does play his part
Terror of the men we kill
The human heart is hungry still
I stand my ground for the very last time
Gun is ready as I stand in line
Nervous wait for the whistle to blow
Rush of blood and over we go
The girl power and positive energy vibes rage around and through out bodies
Blood is falling like the rain
Its crimson cloak unveils again
The sound of guns can't hide their shame
And so we die on Paschendale
Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire
Running straight at cannon fire
Girl power and positive vibes killing ten enemies at a time
Running blind as I hold my breath
Say a prayer symphony of death
As we charge the enemy lines
I feel the girl power and positive vibes rage through my body as we near the enemy
A burst of fire and we go down
I choke a cry but no-one hears
Feel the blood go down my throat
Home, far away
From the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away
But the war, no chance to live again
Home, far away
From the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away
But the war, no chance to live again
See my spirit on the wind
Across the lines, beyond the hill
Friend and foe will meet again
Those who died at Paschendale
JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW i discovered your channel because of watching Kiara's channel and you were on her follow list and becasuse of YOU I am not redoing my room finally after YEEEAAARS of stagnation, literally all I had in my room was my bed and a terrible pink desk from middle school, when 2020 hit i was like i desperately wanna get my room together just like everyone else but all i managed to do was buy a new desk and that was it. your vlogs sparked me to commit so I'm planning to repaint my room in the next 2 weeks after I hopefully pick the color, and bought a bookshelf, have nightstand & dresser options to be chosen and purchased, just wanted to let you know
The video started with the cheers and I immediately loved your vibe!
Great tips! "I'm a real one."
Love your videos, Hannah!
Yay!!! it’s never truly a Sunday without your videos:))
i needed this video so bad omg, especially because i move for grad school by october🤧
one of my "required" textbooks i had to buy was $120 and i used it ONCE. and it was only like 80 pages???
that was rude.
happens to the best of us 😅
I watched this without skipping a second because it was worth it, and I really really admire you, I’d work hard to be someone like you, you’re totally amazing, ill always keep supporting you🥺💛💛💛💛, love you💕I am a real one🤍
i just feel like hannah is still in the college life mindset and it will take a little time to get out of that mindset. not that i am complaining, i love your content.
So excited for this new video
I love you so much ❤️❤️❤️
also, the best thing i got for school was a good quality pair of headphones. i literally can't live without them. and the worst thing was probably an expensive pair of shoes I bought in February 2020, that I never got to wear for months lol
I LOVED THIS VID!!! As a sophomore in college, I can relate to some of these tips!
my favorite!! ❤️ your whole life is a vibe
Omg girl I NEEDED THIS!! I’m a transfer student (from community college) and I’m going to university and living in a dorm I have NO idea what to bring!! Cant wait to watch ❤️ Also I love you so much thank you for being you!!!
Thank you so much for making the world a better place to live 🥺♥️
WTF- i haven’t saw you in forever! i can’t believe you graduated, i will forever and always look at you as a collage student (i used to watch all of your college video RELIGIOUSLY)
I'm a real one! Best college purchase: carabiners to clip my keys/water bottle/etc to my backpack for easy access. Worst college purchase: cheap sheets that only lasted a semester. (Love the college vids and just graduated too!) :)
I literally love your personality so much lol! super entertaining video.
Girl I swear we are similar in so many ways haha, it’s awesome to have found someone on TH-cam that I can relate to on such a level!!
Video going up mid night.
Me who loves sleep more than Hannah.
Wokeup early to watch this💜
Another great video! You’re smashing it gal!🔥
Just use online pdfs for your textbooks. Comes with a bonus of not having to drag those things around everywhere. Just have to bring your laptop and you've got all you need.
love these type of vids!! keep doing them pleaseeeee
i just bought ur herschel bag today because of u !! lol it's so cute
I’m a real one! 😂 this is my first video of yours! I love it!!! It’s so homey and informational! Thanks!
this is the video i never knew i needed but i DEFINITELY DID hshf, thank you hannah
TBH I wholeheartedly feel you with the FOMO of back to school prep. I graduated High School in June and decided to take a gap semester. I know taking the time off to figure things out for my future will pay off, but gosh does seeing all my friends prep for back to school makes me feel like I am missing out.
Your videos are the best part of my Sundays 🤍
PLEASE POST COLLEGE ADVICE AND STORY TIME VIDEOS!!! ILYYY IM A REAL ONE
The tide pod thing has happened to me too, all you have to do wash it again and it comes out, you can also rinse it under warm water but its more effective to wash it. The tide pod is basically just soap so it should come out pretty easily.
