“I’m also a magician.” I wasn’t expecting to hear that.

I got bamboozled. I thought this video was going to be about him realizing that Yale isn't that great and sucks, but nope. This dude absolutely loved his time at Yale. Anyway, I like the video trick gimmicks. Idk why people don't like it.
Same! I thought he was going to complain.
The editing in this video is crispy af
Should've went to Harvard with Lil Pump
I regret my decision every day
Do you seriously regret going to Yale?
Is that Leroy Sané in your wbu hahaha
do you not understand what a joke is
Dingle Nasty and lil tay man
I thought you were gonna spill the tea on why Yale was the worst™️, but it actually was a super positive video and it made me feel inspired to work hard to get to a good university!!!
me too
Sorry for the delayed upload. Your boi just had his wisdom teeth surgery and is a little sore. Hope you enjoyed the video tho
hope the wisdom teeth surgery wasn't toooo bad. But the video definitely wasn't! Loved the video, hopefully some of your enthusiasm for college rubs off on me for next year! lol
Josh Beasley in
Josh Beasley i had my wisdom teeth taken out and it put me out of work for a day. They put all the passionate people together it sounds like. I am sure my son will be just where he is supposed to be.
Josh Beasley i like the song for your intro, summer nights take so long. I like reggae and I can tell you know variety of music. Perhaps your parents 😁
Are you Pam's kid?
Actually the Ivy League is so deeply ingrained in society's mind that even if doesn't matter if it's better or not, it has some societal value and it creates and impression of anyone you tell "I went to a Ivy League school".
6:21 - "I've only 3 more years, and I'm going to make the most of it." Remember those words
Man’s almost done
Relish the moment, it goes by so quick. My daughter just finished her second year and we are in shock that her days at Yale are half over already. We, as parents, are enjoying the whole experience as much as she ... it’s a dream come true. 😎 Have a great summer Josh.
Wait, this isn't the royal wedding video
Going to any type of highly-ranked university is likely to induce an emotional breakdown of some kind.
This is such an insightful video Josh, keep up the great content!
Thanks!
I'm so happy for you Josh!! This was such an inspiring video. Got me really excited for my freshman year at college this fall :)
Omg hi katie
My dad went to Harvard Medical School and he was a military doctor as well. Good luck at Yale you seem like a great guy. Yale is a really cool school even thou I am a Harvard fan.
You're filmaking/editing has gotten loads better since I first started watching your videos! Keep improving and have an awesome summer!
Thank you!
Interesting. I attended Yale 5 decades ago and nearly all the classmates I got to know well had some version of "Do I deserve to be here?" or "How did they let in someone as unusual as me?" or "This is not the Yale I read about." 50 years later I still don't quite understand what Yale was or is, but attending it for nearly three years (I left when my campus rock band got too big for New Haven) was perhaps the best thing that ever happened to me.
“I’m also a magician.” I don’t know why- but, I can connect to that on a spiritual level.
I’m so glad you feel happy and inspired there! It’s a really cool thing to see, and I’m so proud that all your hard work has paid off ! 💙💙
This was an awesome video! I’m attending UPenn in the fall, and you basically reflected everything I’m feeling right now. At this point, I’m pushing all of my thoughts about school to the back of my mind, and that’s only being amplified with Quaker Days more or less being cancelled this year. But just hearing how you went from feeling anxious about school to falling in love with it made me confident about my choice again and reminded me of that feeling I had the first time I visited Penn last summer.
This was definitely one of your best videos, Josh!
Nine new best friends! Your roommates are great! So much support and you felt at home.
Hey thanks a ton man- this video addressed a ton of concerns about Yale and I can’t wait to go there in fall more than ever.
Glad I could help!
Graduated in 2016... this vid makes me so nostalgic
I love your insights and commentary! I appreciate the absence of curse words. I wish you the best of luck at Yale!
my cousin was top of his class in his high school and then he suddenly wasnt when he went to college. HE LITERALLY DROPPED OUT... the saddest thing ive ever seen in my life
It happens quite often.
Why dropout
College not meant for everyone no matter how good their grades were
Hey Josh, thank you so much for uploading this. I'm an incoming first year and this was very refreshing and reassuring as I (attempt to) prepare for the fall.
I really liked how this video was done! So cool! Thanks for working hard to help us all learn a bit about Yale!
I'm happy you discovered how you feel about Yale. I wished I discovered my place at Cornell earlier during my undergraduate years. I will tell you - time really does fly by fast in college. It doesn't feel like it when you're in it but make the most out of it while you're there!
I’ve been binge watching your videos and I just have to say, you’re so freaking humble!!! 😀
This is the best video you’ve ever made! I’ve had a similar experience with my school so it’s great to see your version
*Harvard wants to know your location*
@Zak Jansen ummmm....bye
I feel sooooooo similar to Josh. I really appreciate your perspective. It soothes my nerves for this upcoming application season.
I love these videos. I'm gonna be a Yalie next year, and this makes me so excited!!
Love this! I start Yale this fall and you got me so pumped!
Current NYU Stern student, and I am applying to Yale’s SOM and FE&S. Hope I can get in and spend two years at one of the greatest institutions in the world.
I hope you go far dude. This video was so well put together and you have great character.
You're an amazing storyteller, great video! Don't stick vids that have traction, post what you love man you're good at documenting
Josh this video is awesome! I always love watching your content.
Great video boi !! Glad you're having fun. And your eiting skills are great ;) keep up the good work
Josh this was an awesome vid!!! Very well made, hope you achieve all your goals!
As someone who goes to a state school, I wish I went to a more prestigious university. I’m a top performer in all of my classes, but the people aren’t motivated. I think I’m a fairly ambitious person, and like to do competitions but everyone just wants to take the easy route.
hell yeah bro! Goodluck in your next year, crush it!
New style of video. Just amazing.
Thanks!
Love the end! Congrats Josh! Why r u o amazing!
Great video, Josh. Thanks for sharing! I just sent my son off to Yale in August (he's in the BEST college, though -- ES) and when I saw the title of this video I thought it was about how you realized that Yale is not ALL THAT! What a nice surprise. I enjoyed it.
Really glad that you had a great year❤️!!
Had a very similar experience from 1986-1990. Also TD. I find your videos to be extremely well done and meaningful. Thank you for making them. Enjoy your time there.
hey Josh great content as always. I recall the first video I watched on this channel was ur ap score reactions and my initial thought was wow this kid's insane (7ap classes in senior year and a bunch of 5s). You deserve where you are right now and good luck in the future
Loved this video! You're so talented at what you do!!
Dude I’m so happy for you!! You have a great personality hahaha it almost feels like we’re friends. Keep up the great content 💛
Your video making skills oh my... the fact that u keep changing the background keeps it entertaining
Aight you got me hyped af for my freshman year next yr
Josh my guy, look at the camera.
Boi I'm trying
After the video i am even more excited for the upcoming FOOT this August and Yale in general!!!
Awesome! FOOT is so much fun!
Best of luck with your channel! I hope it grows. That was some good content. Would you consider making a video about studying techniques and how you keep yourself motivated?
Your editing skills are better than “big” youtubers , you should be recognised.
We can tell how much dedication you put on computer science 👌🏼The video was amazing
Your face and tone at the beginning sounded like u were about to drop a huge truth bomb and I started freaking out if accepting Yale's offer was the right thing to do! 😂 Psych tho! Great vid!
Hey Josh! Great video man! People keep telling me to watch out when I go to college because even though I am at the top of my class now, I will be just average at Princeton (if I get accepted). But this actually excites me because I am hoping to finally find a set of friends that are as driven as me and love to learn as much as me. Keep making the amazing videos; you actually inspired me to start a channel myself.
I love the way you filmed this...so creative!
Dang, the production on this video was AMAZING!!!
we love a wholesome king 💕
emphasis on the wholesome
XxXCookizXxX that’s tooooo many. Unless you kill those classes you might had well just swap 3 out for honors classes
Hey, glad to hear you had a great year and experience at Yale. Wishing continuous success. Incidentally, don't forget to visit the ice cream joint on Chapel St, delicious, and Blue State coffee for those late hours. Also, support always, your local firefighters, cause we got you covered.
Josh, I love your work and I love this style of video, it really reminds me of Casey Neistat. Truly amazing. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks! That really means a lot!
didn't expect you to do magic too, as I dabble quite a bit myself. great videos
Josh, my son, Michael, just finished his Sophomore year at Yale and is also in TD. I enjoy your videos, and this one was one of your best. Wishing you continued success.
Incredible video Josh! Biggest thumbs up on this vid
Bigger thumbs up on this comment!
I really enjoy the way that this video was edited!
Thank you!
I'm loving your videos!
This video really inspired me ,,,thank you Josh,,,nd congrats to u 👍✌☺it's just what I needed to push on,,,YALE💓
Idk if you're gonna see this dude, but this really helped me. I'll be starting Yale in the fall (I'm in Silliman so no old campus for me either) and this really put my fears to rest.
That's great!
o man you’re really making me regret my decision
love your vids man it was really cool meeting you at BDDs! i was hosted by harry
How could I forget my boi Jason Yang. Even though you chose MIT, I appreciate the support and hope you have fun!
Omg I'm headed there next year and the title made me so scared that you had some horrible experience! Thanks for 7 minutes of anxiety lol
this was such an amazing video!!
Great quality video, great message!
Hey man, old guy here-class of '66 (uh, that's 1966/JE). Gratifying to hear you describe being taken care of in New Haven. I had a similar experience during my years there. It was the first time anyone had taken seriously what I wanted to do. Seemed to me that the admin/faculty were really trying to support what students wanted. And I know for sure that they saved my a** for sure on more than one occasion. And when it came time to graduate, I was hard to leave. I didn't go far: grad school @ NYU. LOL! Nice vid.
Were you in a secret society?
Congrats man!!
I'm glad you beat the odds. Very inspirational.
Awesome news - so glad for you! Always set your expectations low and you will never be disappointed....LOL!
Enjoy every moment, three years will go by before you know it Josh! :)
Mate, can I please ask what video camera and audio equipment you are using. Your vid is perfect.
Heading off to UW Madison next fall. College life excites me tremendously.
you are every parent's dream
Really, thank you! Almost any "truth about this" video is just made to make views by saying bad things, and i really appreciated the positiveness of this video. I really think i'm going to watch it again and again in this year before the admission tests and all that stuff. I live in Italy and thinking about going in the US for university is really frightening and sometimes i get really anxious or emotional, but this calmed me down. Thanks again!
Dude the shot of you in the rafters was pure gold.
Yale is awesome!! My daughter just graduated on May!! We also live in New Haven!! A great college town!!
Whoa! Another TDer from Northern Virginia who did FOOT and has a military connection. Áshe!
Congrats on surviving freshman year. That was forever ago for me, but I remember how awesome it felt and how passionately I wanted to be back when that first summer came.
Godspeed, bro! #BoolaBoola
How were your grades for your first year? I ended up with a cumulative GPA of 3.3, I was aiming for higher but can’t do anything but try harder next year
I’m watching this literally a day before March 31st, 2020
So Happy for you, fellow stranger-not stranger- after this video
Woah that last cut. U Nailed it..
End of your 4th year will feel like, "It all went by too fast!" 😩
4:18 is that “It ain’t me” by Kygo and Selena Gomez?
Nice editing man!👍
This is awesome Josh! One question- do you ever feel bored in New Haven/ regret not being in a city and having a ton of stuff to do around you?
New Haven is a pretty big city and there is a lot of stuff to do. If you ever get bored tho, NYC is just a two hour train ride away.
That look of disgust persisting throughout the video is iconic
Love this!
I really enjoyed this!
Thank u josh
Can you do a video on how you came to the conclusion on what you wanted to major in during college? I’m 2 years away from graduating high school and I feel like I don’t know what I want to do
Wow thanks this really helped me because I'm about to apply to an ivy league abroad and I'm very unsure of what to expect
I would give this video more than one thumbs up if I could. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
