do you want to avoid failing do you want

to avoid not making any friends today

i'm going to tell you the top 10

mistakes i made as a college freshman so

you never have to make the same mistakes

as me grab a drink

sit back

and let's go

so here's the thing

in high school i never really tried um

it's gonna sound kind of braggadocious

but i really didn't study that much and

still got a's so i never like learned

the work habits and the work ethic

needed to get a good grade in college so

when i first went to college i never

reviewed any notes or slides throughout

the semester and i would just leave

studying until like two days before the

exam thinking i could just cram it all

like i did in high school

and still get an a oh boy oh boy was i

wrong because the difficulty doesn't

just go like this it goes like this

and my grades reflected it

honestly

um

how do you avoid this well the best way

is to review your notes after class like

straight after class 10 minutes 15

minutes just review it you'll memorize

it better because when you study smaller

chunks over a long period of time it's

more effective than trying to memorize a

whole book in one day

i didn't think i would need to tell

myself or you guys that but i think i do

because

um

you're gonna think it's easy until you

get your tests back

let's talk about love for a second

don't rush into a relationship that's my

advice i don't know if you caulk asian

people understand this but us asian kids

we weren't really allowed to date in

high school because your parents are

like don't date it's gonna distract you

from school even though

you're already distracted from school

from so many other things but when

you're going to college they're like

still don't they but where's your wife

when you go into college you'll soon

realize that you can literally do

anything that you want because you're

away from your parents but

when you get that freedom to do anything

that you want you tend to or i would

tend to

do things i have never been able to do

before but

sometimes when you want it so badly you

make the wrong decision you get into a

relationship for the sake of having a

relationship you don't really like the

other person you don't really connect

you're just like there and you're like

wasting each other's time

don't do that man

don't do that take a tip from my friend

jensen it's already been four years in

college and he still doesn't have a

girlfriend because he couldn't find his

dream girl he likes to take his slope if

it happens it happens if it doesn't

happen it doesn't happen

so the thing about college is that you

don't really have the same classes as

all of your friends because you get to

choose your own classes wow

i wish you good luck because

my

number one mistake is skipping too many

math classes or whatever the subject may

be for you it was 8 30 in the morning

class was super boring and i always

thought sleep was a little bit more

important than going to class i thought

it was gonna be okay until i took the

first midterm

i got it back

i was really shocked i got 53

i've never gotten a mark that low in my

life so i learned my lesson how to avoid

failing if you still want to skip class

one you can try to get notes from your

friends or you could attend a later

class because usually there's multiple

sections of the same class you really

need to dedicate the same amount of time

as you would have spent in class to

study the material you skipped out on

here's the thing we all want to belong

to a group we all want to make friends

we want to make other people happy

but i think we should make ourselves

happy first before we can make other

people happy so don't try to hang out

with all your fake friends i think the

number one mistake i made in my social

life is keeping too many shallow friends

by the end of your college career you're

gonna realize

you really only care about like three to

five people like those are the people

you actually want to hang with those

third of the people you actually care

about

and the rest are like acquaintances you

see them when you see them you don't

need to like go out of your way to hang

out with them and the beautiful thing

about college is that you get the

freedom to choose your friends unlike in

high school make a bunch of friends in

the beginning when you first go into

school

then

drop the ones you don't like continue

hanging out with the ones that you do of

course hang out with me i'm as real as

it gets also this is the first episode

in the back to school series that i'm

releasing

this month leading up to september so

click that subscribe button and the

notification bell so you won't miss a

single episode

i know the real ones i see you in the

comments

so what if i told you there was a smart

drug if you take you you'll be a hundred

times more productive and a hundred

times smarter and there will be no side

effects whatsoever

would you want to take it every single

day

obviously right and that drug is called

sleep sleep is the key

to getting good grades and to feeling

good throughout the day because when i

don't sleep like everything just hurts

you know like it hurts it physically

hurts me therefore i'm gonna fail all my

classes how to avoid go to bed early

if you can if you can't don't miss two

days of sleep in a row catch up the

second day

now i gave you a free drug to make you

more productive i'm gonna give you some

free money as well 500 to a thousand

dollars that's like the hafu scholarship

to you

do not

buy new books from the bookstore

you will literally save a fortune

wait let me get something

i've been waiting for this moment for so

long okay um

every time you go to the bookstore to

buy a brand new book you're literally

doing this to your money

do not buy brand new books because you

can buy used books for 30 to 50 off

sometimes 80 off on facebook marketplace

oh and the other thing is there's new

editions like 10 freaking editions of

the same textbook

they tell you things change literally

like two words or like the order of the

books change the content stays the same

so you can literally buy older edition

and it wouldn't matter

oh this next one is a big one i still

struggle with it today but way less than

before

and that's caring

about what people think of you i mean

it's like normal it's like human nature

to care about what people think of you

so we can all survive so we don't all go

crazy and like kill other people but

caring too much about what other people

think is going to stop you from doing

the things that you

you

actually want to do and that will

benefit you

in the future

because we're afraid that people judge

us when we

for example make videos you know how

like scary making a video was when i

first picked up a camera like i tried to

film outside i will literally stand

there for like 30 minutes

just like contemplating people are like

walking by like what do they think of me

like i'm gonna be like so loud i'm like

obnoxious ah i can't do it

now i still feel that sometimes i'm not

logan paul but even though i feel it

i'll do it anyway

once you get rid of that internal

judgment

you'll be able to do so many things way

faster so how do you really build that

confidence

by

doing it literally like the more

experiences you have overcoming that

judgment in your head and seeing well

nothing really happened repeat that

like over time you'll build that

confidence because you realize all that

is just nonsense it's not real

before i mention how you can save money

now i'm going to tell you how you can

earn money and that's through

scholarships i realize this way too

freaking late there are literally like

hundreds of scholarships you can apply

for in college from the school out of

the school

everything there's websites online and

website from your college that you can

check the list of scholarships

sometimes it's like you write one

application you submit it to like 10

different scholarships so it's not that

much work actually you can literally get

5 000 to 10 000

for free for free throughout your whole

four years i'm not just really like

talking about this makes me really mad

that i didn't realize sooner because

i could be balling right now i could

have like two of these

instead of just one

now you know in the future you can buy

me a coffee with the money that you get

i regret

not taking care of my temple

sooner your body

is a machine

you need to oil that machine you need to

upgrade that machine so you can be more

productive get better grades and be

happier if you regularly come back to

watch my videos then you are probably a

very motivated person you want to

succeed in school and in life so i'm

just going to tell you straight up it's

hard to be productive when you feel

tired

all freaking day and being healthy is

actually pretty simple it's like three

things eat good food exercise

and sleep if you do those three well

that's like 80 of the work just done

right there in like one or two weeks

i'll be making a workout video telling

you how you can start to exercise

because i know it's like kind of

intimidating looking at all those bubble

butts and the 20 pack abs on instagram

so look out for that video it'll be like

linked once it's up

this next one is like the one thing that

changed my life forever like it

literally

changed my life like i wouldn't be doing

what i'm doing and you probably wouldn't

want to even like listen to me if i

didn't do this the mistake i made is not

reading books sooner

before the summer of university first

year that's when i started reading i've

read probably like less than five books

in my life like when when everyone was

doing silent reading elementary school

i'd be philippines through franklin the

turtle there were a lot of pictures and

little words but in the summer vacation

of first year i decided that maybe i

should pick up a book

see how it is

first book i read was uh seven habits of

highly effective people changed my life

it changes you as a person it gives you

a whole new perspective on life and the

world when you read a lot you realize

like

why are you not reading because it's the

best investment you can make 10 years of

someone's life is put into like 300

pages and you can consume all of their

knowledge that they've learned through

10 years within like 10 hours that's

going to save you so much time it's the

best investment you can make

in yourself

and with your time now i've read like

over 150 books including audio books

like back there's 82 of them

pick up a book man be literate get some

knowledge

the last tip

it's a little bit of personal one but i

think it might apply to some of you too

and that's uh not calling my mom enough

when you get into university i don't

know about you but i didn't feel

homesick at all i felt liberated so i

don't want to call my parents i was like

distracted by like everything that i

wanted to do sometimes if they don't

call me

i wouldn't call them for like a month or

two my mom actually had to like sit me

down and tell me it's like you don't

call me enough you should call me more

when i did finally it made her so happy

she was like

five minutes of your life you're gonna

make your mom's day you're gonna make

her life a lot happier and when she's

happy you're gonna be happy because

she's gonna be buying you stuff that

you're gonna want in the future honestly

i wish i had this when i went to school

but i didn't now i'm making it for you

or the younger thank you for watching my

name is hypokol and i will see you in

the next video
