    Your "friday dinner with dad" seems like such a nice idea to stay connected with your family!

    I'm from France and I moved to Canada for my studies. I'm currently at the end of my second year and I relate so much! It took me a year to figure out the best ways to take notes, to study, to write papers... I still struggle sometimes with that because I'm in a very multi disciplinary program, but I feel much better overall. Uni is full of struggles but at the end of the line, it makes us grow so much ! I hope I'll get into KCL for my masters (🤞🤞) and in the meantime I'll continue to watch your videos. Thank you so much for sharing everything you're going through. Good luck with uni!

    • @meiyingchow
      @meiyingchow  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Wow no way! That’s an amazing step to love to Canada for your studies so well done for stepping out like that and yes I think it’s important to highlight some of the struggles as well as the good times! My fingers are crossed for your kings masters application too and thank you for your support 💕 it means a lot and I hope you have a great week!

    Omg I also tore my ACL and got surgery in December 2016! Physiotherapy and working out at the gym (glutes especially!) then until now have helped me feel more confident post-op and so far, no injuries! Hope your ACL is doing well!

    • @meiyingchow
      @meiyingchow  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No way!! That’s amazing and yes physiotherapy has slowly taken over my life since the surgery. I didn’t realise how powerful flutes actually were or my hamstrings either!! Well done on your no injury streak - im keeping my fingers crossed and touch wood it stays that way! Thank you so much and yes it’s almost a year since operation (in July!)

    Unsure with the specifics of it for my future job.
    Lol did you accidentally release a driving video? Do you have any advice on motivation for revision?

    • @meiyingchow
      @meiyingchow  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha I can week on week count on you for your dose of sneaky chow points -12 have been added this week! I thought I was being smart pre filming that video while I have exams but yes it’ll be out again in a few weeks so thank you for always being one of the first viewers!! Sorry about that and my advice for motivation would maybe be to watch some motivational speakers on TH-cam e.g ted talks based on future career progression and listen to specific quotes etc just finding what brings you drive is a really hard cause it changes as you get older but maybe if you haven’t done that it helps me?

    • @mridulamanoj12
      @mridulamanoj12 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      💕💕thank you!! ofc your videos are really good and you do this even when you have uni work going on it’s admirable! I’ve never really thought of motivational videos I will go check that out soon! My goals keep changing so much you are right what’s something that motivates you?

    • @meiyingchow
      @meiyingchow  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The fact that I have all my summer plans soon so I know there is light at the end of the tunnel. The fact I also have very little time left till my exams is an added extra bit of stress which is making me work - the stress is not great for skin but definitely helps with getting stuff done. I also just want to make family proud and be proud of myself for the hard work I’ve put in first year! There are some ted talks that I stumble upon that are great but some can be a bit preachy and annoying. My friends also motivate me a lot as I see how much work they put in so I don’t want to slack either... a good form of peer pressure maybe haha??¿?

    • @mridulamanoj12
      @mridulamanoj12 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you think I'll have a better sense of community at King's accommodation than I would at an intercollegiate one if affordability isn't a primary concern? I'm also a bit confused about residence for first-years. Are there specific residences they typically join at king's?

    Just wondering why did you choose KCL over LSE?

    • @meiyingchow
      @meiyingchow  5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      It was mainly because of the social aspect- I was looking at the student satisfaction ranks and for LSE it was quite low. Also, my sister had just spent three years at kings so I knew the environment and felt safer there. The business school also has bush house and is number 6 in the rankings! ☀️

    • @meiyingchow
      @meiyingchow  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you’re under 18 then yes nightlife is quite hard as the legal drinking age is 18 and so your id won’t work in clubs but my American friends who are 20 can drink here even though back home it would be underaged I believe!
