advice

from people who have recently lived through this defining year, by the way, make sure you never miss the conversation by clicking that subscribe button and turning on notifications, clicking that bell, let's see what advice NYU students give .

I have incoming freshmen question everything. I think it's very easy to forget why you're doing what you're doing, esp. I got this tattooed on my arm. I see them waking up in a circle to remind me that this world is kind of the way we've been given and we're expected to just accept it, don't do that. I think it seems like a much more fun and interesting way to live a life is to constantly examine why what happens around you happens and why people say what they say. Saying don't let nostalgia get to you because I let it get to me and I regret it and really once you get over it we get used to your act like a little bit of acclaim is necessary, it's like a big transition for anyone I know.

You're going to feel a lot of FOMO, but don't let that guide you too much in the sense that if there's something you want to do and that conflict is something that you know all your friends are doing, I think you should still always go with what you feel it will be more beneficial for you. The fall semester is going to be difficult. You may feel like you want to transfer or you may think, "Oh, I should have gone to that state school that all my friends went to." I went once, I think the first semester probably passes and it gets a lot better.

There are always tough times as a

freshman

where you feel like you don't know anyone or that you're never going to make friends, but that's where everyone goes. It's definitely a shared experience even if people don't talk about it, so I would say just go out and that first semester you're in college go to all the similar events go to whatever catches your eye, it's not uncommon to have spirit, so just diving into the

campus

, incoming

freshman

, I'd say getting involved in some high schools, like you know the best thing you can do is dig, nasty, hot, cool, I really don't know, I like to make up for it high for You, all that stupid stuff and I think that's how they crushed me or like I didn't really get that close.

I'm on that sports team here, so I have my friends' sports team as my roommates and I don't really make the effort to branch out, I think that's something that kids probably shoot at you, but you know, I think it's written to Gretchen, you're not average, join clubs like Rush Creek if you want, I don't know. I can never do that like you want. I spoke to the class as if they weren't afraid to say hello. They know my name is John. What is the reason for it? So say it confidently, get involved and if you don't. like people, that's totally fine, you just think you know, use some different opinions or different points of view and different bowls, you know it's no big deal, you can always just not hang out with them as much, but I think there are things important to give everyone a chance and to really spread the nuts I really see, you know, if you click on what you think is interesting, do you think you're expanding your horizons?

No, don't have too high expectations, you get what you get. I think a lot of people told me that. it's taking advantage of everything and, yes, that means the clubs will probably like them and then I probably won't be aware of the clubs at the end for 4 years, but I just like taking the opportunity to go after everything that New York has to offer . The offer is so similar to going to a music show on a Wednesday. I think I really take advantage of everything given that I was a freshman seven years ago. I think you know that one in five people in the United States have some type of mental capacity, but they're not dying for us, they're not going slow, they're not looking at the health care professional, or they don't really think it's a problem, but There are many tragedies in all universities of suicides in student committees and, in fact, yesterday. someone from the medical staff committed suicide, so a fourth year student ready to graduate and things like that are so sad, I guess it's not the end if even if you move it and people who have wanted to commit suicide have been studied, it comes true. and almost all of those people regretted that action, so even when you prioritize the things that matter most to you and if that is studies, then you need to work on not doing it all the time, necessarily doing your job all the time. but you like to organize your time so that you can do all the things you want in your first semester.

Here I was playing on a varsity sports team at Oberlin and I didn't do as well academically as I probably presented myself because I was hurting football so much, so I would say focus on trying everything because sometimes you don't know what you like. , so just tie it in and then you'll find that you take advantage of Welcome Week, it's the best way to make friends, the best way to start getting involved. I think it was a mistake I made. I didn't get involved in Welcome Week. I was a little closed off the first year, so it was even harder for me to get out there and participate. involved in school, so yeah, it's definitely like grabbing every opportunity at first sight.

There are some interesting programs you can do depending on the school you are at, they usually have them when you are an incoming freshman or a new student. Like cohort meetings, they bring you together with similar students who have shared interests with you and you like different activities in the city and that's kind of a way for them to like you, not for you to have friends, but for them to know who your friends are. companions. so there's a lot of verbal things like that, don't be afraid of people and putting yourself out there is very important and you can find people in all kinds of everything that you like to do, there's someone else that you like to do and there's probably like a club or yes, a club or a sport like this helps the sport if you like it and don't be afraid to try new things, like I played football all my life.

I started playing water polo and I really loved it. On your first day here, it's quite overwhelming, especially because of this, but I think for extroverts, Stephanie is not a big problem because you will find the parties and you will find your friends very, very quickly because people definitely like you. like wanting to come down and have fun around here, but for the shy people who like it, it becomes very easy, but sliding, so Funko is like going to class, going back to the bar counter, going back to the door, like el palo verde, it's not easy because it's just So, separated like you don't have it, it's hard like in my new community, so just go out there and take some risks, and if you don't like it, it's going to be a pretty lonely place.

I like the city to be like that. a small place, one of the most important things I learned was like that, especially being in the city like I use it and all there is is Gary, you're in New York City, there are so many opportunities that you can take advantage of, you just have to go look for them. them, so I see that yeah, just make the effort to get involved, even you're not an extrovert like I'm not going to go first year, now let's say I'm not going to go, but I think it's important to get skills, just get around. in life because ultimately you could be brilliant, but if you don't know, you've really talked to people, no one really knows that you have this idea that doesn't really matter, right? because you don't share your idea that he really isn't nice. to die with you before you leave please subscribe and let us know what other tips you have from freshmen or which of these tips you found most valuable after that check out our other videos to keep the conversations going thanks for watching. talk again soon
