moving 2,000 miles away from home it's not been the smoothest transition with adjustment came so
many lonely nights and intrusive thoughts that made me think what if i don't think i'll ever
be able to stop imagining the what-ifs but even with these thoughts I gave california
a fair chance to convince me otherwise because I didn't want to linger on the city I'm not even in
and the prestigious school name thinking that's all I'll need to be happy
and I'm happy to say that my life in Southern California is everything I wanted and more
good morning
okay I started vlogging by vlogging little clips of my day but now iIm gonna go get food because I
haven't really had a proper meal today literally I had a stale bagel with nothing on it and then
an almond croissant and coffee so I am craving either Cane's or In-N-Out like what is California
without In-N-Out or Cane's some debating between those two choices and I don't know what to get
I'm leaning more towards Cane's but for the sake of the video I might want to do In-N-Out because
In-N-Out is like screams California but yeah we're gonna get food and I'm gonna do like a eat
with me video which I have not done in so long but I really want to do one today so let's go
today's video is featuring the IONIQ 5 which I'm currently sitting in and it is a brand new SUV
from Hyundai's first electric car brand called IONIQ from smaller efforts like using the little
straw to bigger efforts like transitioning into an electric vehicle it should be in our
generation's best interest to help the environment I'm personally a big EV person maybe it's like the
California side of me or maybe I just really do take pride in helping with the carbon neutrality
I am so delighted to be sharing my experience with you guys in this vehicle I'm going to take
you guys around throughout my weekend and share the ride the overall design is super
sleek high-tech futuristic everything you expect an EV to be but I would say it's like the
perfect middle ground for you to transition from a normal vehicle to an EV the interior is actually
designed and made incorporating sustainable materials which is very impressive and their
goal was to make the interior of a car feel like your living room so with the larger space
and this lighting center console you can have more options to make this space feel cozy and
functional and I personally really do like how this moves around it's so cool I don't think I've
ever done In-N-Out drive through so I have no idea where to go hi do I place an order here with
you or should I go running oh okay can I just do a double double and then french fries anything else
for your thing oh that's it all right that's going to come out 7: 30 thank you thank you
thank you have a good day oh yummy
got my burger yum we are gonna do a eat with me like the good old days in today's video I
really want to talk about dealing with college rejections or rejections in general if you apply
the same theory to anything that you're dealing with right now specifically just kind of dealing
with that bittersweet feeling of being excited for a new chapter of your life and also being scared
that you have no idea what is about to happen because that is exactly what you go through
after graduating from high school I'm going to pull out my ipad for this part because i have all
the talking points on it this car actually has a really cool feature called V2L where you can plug
in any electronics that you might need to plug in if you're camping and you want to put in like
fairy lights you can do that if you're doing last minute homework in the car you need to charge your
laptop you can do that so I am going to plug in my ipad have a charge
first thing I have on here is it says my world was falling apart when I opened my
nyu rejection letter and it still to this day haunts me for some reason I think I
might be just taking it personally but weirdest like instances weirdest
connections to nyu like I always somehow find nyu ted talks on my for you page and that is
weird because tik tok is obviously like very randomized normally shows you tik toks from
around your area but I always always land on nyu tik toks and it makes me
very mad I'm like I'm not even in New York why are you showing me the possible
college life that I could have lived if I went to nyu when I'm not even there and it just makes me
mad but honestly I'm so happy here now like I found I really feel like I found my place here I
can see myself staying here for at least like the next five ten years of my life do I still think
about how I could have been a cooler person if I went to nyu and was it nyu girly like had the nyu
25 on my bio yes I do but I think that's just what all humans do just think about the things
that we could have been and I'm I'm happy with the person I am here and I think that I am cool enough
here like I don't need that nyu title to be cool accepting rejection really starts with trusting
the opportunities that are given to you instead of resenting the opportunities that dodged you
because rejection can be a wonderful strike of vlog I think this saying really got me through
the rejection another thing is to make a promise with yourself that wherever you end up you will
make the best of it you literally spent the last 12 years going through school and building this
like foundation of what you should have to go into the bigger real world you might feel like you're
not ready which I felt that way too you are more than ready and everyone's kind of on the same page
if you feel like you're not ready and you really are not ready the first month of college is going
to help you get ready for that and you will see that for yourself and one last thing for accepting
rejection and I think this is the most important is that the name of your college matters to a
certain degree we all know that but you have to realize that there's always going to be incredibly
dedicated passionate gifted learners everywhere you go don't estimate a school's ability to give
you the opportunity to learn and to give you opportunity to socialize just by its
acceptance rate I'm not gonna lie chapman was my safety school I didn't put in a lot of effort to
applying I underestimated the school I thought I'm a business major it was my safety school so
I feel like first year is going to be a breeze I feel like the college experience is going to
be so easy for me like I'm ready for this like what's gonna be so hard I'm over here struggling
I'm so lost in like half of my classes and I put in the work I put in the effort i went to
my classes and that also comes with other people's perception of like what kind of person you are and
how hard working and talented and gifted you are just by like associating you and
the school that you're about to attend and if they start treating you differently or
if they treat you less than compared to someone else who's going to a better school i only have
one thing to say about that and that is to stop associating yourself with that type of people
literally that's it one very last thing is to start thinking about what creative problem
solving means to you because you're gonna have to do a lot of it in college to solve your problems
to minimize your stress start kind of thinking in that mindset whenever
you're coming across a problem during the summer this mindset like if you come across a problem
and you don't just like settle on it and be like oh my gosh what I'm gonna do like I'm
so sad I'm so sad about this I can't do anything if you're able to switch and be like oh problem
solving how do I solve this problem what kind of solution can I bring in you're going to struggle
so much less we are now getting ready for our capital formal it's like prom but in college
so that's exciting because I always loved getting ready for prom that's the best part
I already have mine hopefully I don't go blind because my eyes are so dry that normally my
eyes like I will literally start losing my sight because of how dry it is we love getting ready
oh my gosh wait have you heard dua lipa by jack harlow no
update I'm doing my hair I curled it and I'm putting in little braids
oh that's so cute I've been just kind of chilling and doing homework but I think
I'm gonna go to trader joe's because I'm seeing Yura later today and I want to get her flowers
I just realized that with this car it does that thing when you walk close to the car with the key
in your hand it will like automatically unlock the car instead of you like having to press it
which I think is very convenient also as you saw the car seat moves in when you are seated
so it gives you more space to kind of like get adjusted and I really like that um a couple of
like my personal favorite things about this car I love how the center console is literally just like
usually you have to open this to get access to the main big storage area but this thing is just open
here you can literally like use this as a table also there are certain safety features in this
car that I'm honestly amazed by like yesterday I was trying to change the lane and I guess it
wasn't the perfect timing and the steering wheel like resisted me trying to like sway the wheel
so that felt very safe and I wish every car did that because that would prevent so many
accidents what else when I'm driving it just feels so smooth and airy like it feels like the car
is floating on the on the road you barely feel any turbulences this is like the one car where
I felt like I was floating I've never really experienced that with any other cars before
another feature that I really like is when you're stopped at a red light and for some reason you're
zoning out a little bit you're like talking with a friend and you don't realize that the car in
front of you is starting to leave because the red light turned into a green light it gives you like
a little alert like hey the car in front of you is starting to move maybe it's time for you to
start going again and I really appreciated that feature because I've never seen a car have that
I got the flowers but I also
got trader joe's mango 100 juice smoothie I was craving something refreshing so
let me do why was that so easy to open whenever something is way too easy to open I'm like
did someone open this already
uh whatever
that is so good that is exactly what I needed and exactly what I wanted
new favorite right here I am back in my room because there is something on tik tok that I've
seen that I want to try with this flower right now it is wrapped in this like plastic wrapper right
but I can take the brown paper bag and wrap it around and make it look more fancy
she's never tried it before wait can I smell it again too so good
it tastes more like churros than it does like uh we're trying to attempt to do this dance
I'm starting my day off early today because I am wanting to get a fun drink for myself
to treat myself for Monday and I also have to charge the IONIQ 5 before I return it
I'm a little sad to say goodbye to the car actually like starting to really learn like
how convenient it is to have a car that I used to consider like sensitive like
I understand why people drive more sensitive cars I'm quoting it because sensitive depends
on like what kind of car you drive what kind of experience you have but it's just like so
much easier like effortless so much less like power goes into driving when you're driving
a lighter car that's more sensitive and i was driving like my own car last night and I couldn't
really get used to like how heavy it felt because I was already like spoiled by the IONIQ 5
I am here to charge the car um with Electrify America IONIQ 5 gets complementary
charging which is insane so you technically are not spending any money on electric gas and at
this specific location with the superchargers with 350 kilowatts you can charge your car from 10
to 80 percent in 18 minutes which is insanely fast
I'm done charging the car but thank you IONIQ 5 for letting me
have this car for the weekend and having me experience it it was such a fun experience
and if you guys get the chance to try out this car I highly highly highly recommend it
and I will see you guys in my next video I'll see you soon bye
