I am an Asian who grew up with dragon parents who stressed academics over anthing else. When I got to college, I was no longer constrained and had the time of my life, partying, girls, sports and other activities that I was not free to do growing up. My grades suffered, but I would never have developed into the social, free-spirited and outgoing person I am today if not for my life experiences in college. I regret having so many last minute cramming and all-nighters, but not doing the activities I was involved with, only with my poor time-management. As a parent now, I know to give my kids space to find themselves in HS so they don't have to spend significant college time making up for loss time 😊.
Man I feel the same way, after finishing my first year in college, I realized that I didn’t really socialize or do clubs or extracurriculars or really anything outside of school other than worrying about college being extremely difficult after hearing it from peers before being enrolled.
I am a rising sophomore with a very similar situation to yours. I recently decided to double major in Finance and Accounting and I figured out I could do it in the next 6 semesters but I would have to take 5 hard classes each semester till I finish. I’m glad you made this video telling me to balance my grades and social life because I had started to prepare myself for the beginning of the end when it comes to life outside of school. Thank you
@@Galbra1th thanks - will do. We are from UK and have been in Florida for 2 years. My youngest is applying to engineering so the fraternity concept is new to us. One last question - how do you choose which you would want to belong to?

So long, Cameron. You are a great ambassador for UF, and I am sure that you have helped many people with your videos.
Thank you so much! I certainly hope so!
Good job and good luck Cameron! My son will be a freshman at UF. Your videos are so helpful. Take care. God bless!
Thank you so much! Best of luck to your son!
i just finished my freshman year, i definitely noticed i would be in the library studying a lot. making some changes next year.
Hard work pays off, but like I said in the video it’s all about finding the balance. I’m sure you’ll crush it next year!

Hey Drew, glad you got some value through my experiences. There definitely is a sweet spot, it may be hard to do, but it is possible! Best of luck!
I think sacrifices should be made
Always. But it’s still important to balance these with your long-term happiness
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching!
Is it worth joining a fraternity?
100%. If it wasn’t for my fraternity I never would have had fun haha
I made a vid a while back talking about how my fraternity experience helped my college career. Check it out!
