real talk: every college transfer student should hear this

College transfer students: this one is for you.

I know what it’s like to be a transfer student and I am here to tell you everything you should know about struggling with imposter syndrome, feeling behind in your career, finding your passion, and getting experiences. All opinions are my own and I’m only sharing from my experience—everyone goes through different experiences and struggles and this is how I’ve coped with mine. A lot of the information I share really depends on your major and what you plan to do with your major. Do take what I say with a grain of salt because it may not reflect your experience entirely. I just want you all to know that you’re not alone and I hope this video helped you in one way or another!

Hi all!! I know it's college admissions season and if you're here watching this video considering the transfer student route, I highly recommend. If there is anything you want me to cover about college life, the college admissions process, how I got into USC, transferring from a community college, feel free to leave me a comment of what you would like to me talk about!

This is 100% me! I'm 23 in community college and waiting on my transfer decision from the one & only school I applied to while everyone from "my class" is graduating this year.. but this validates that I'm not alone <3 I've encouraged my friends who are lost to try CC because it has been a game-changer! :)

I work for a community college in California - Orange Coast College. Thank you for sharing your thoughts especially how you are facing imposter syndrome. This is something I will definitely advise my students about. You are deserving of your spot at the university you transfer to and you bring an important perspective to your classmates. Statistics show that transfer students add so much value in terms of retention and graduation rates and universities do recognize that. Good luck. You got this!

This is going on right now, first week of class, class was on Monday and I cried after the day because a freshman asked me for advice of how not to make the mistakes I did in community college, and when I got into my car, I balled my eyes out in the car because I saw myself in him but also reflected on the past and where I’m at right now. I’m so nervous this week but also excited for this new journey. Thank you for this video.

I'm transferring into Binghamton for the fall semester as a junior. I'm only 20 and haven't reached campus yet, but I still get this feeling like I'm behind and that I'm not as deserving of going to a good school. This video was really reassuring 🙏🏽

[jjjlove]

Thank you! I needed to hear this. I can relate so much to wanting to do so many things in life, but at the same time feeling confused about my career paths every now and again. I hoping it all works out soon for all of us :)

I’m on my second year at the university I transferred to and I never knew about the term “imposter syndrome” but thats exactly how I felt throughout my time here

[fallinginfiction]

I’ll hopefully be transferring by spring of next year, so this video was definitely helpful and reassuring. Thank you. 😊

[MarBeanTrees]

Thank you for this video! I’m applying to transfer from a community college to 4-year university in fall 2022! Good luck to you in your future endeavors & everyone else in the transfer process!

[aslaans.]

[runningintostyle]

[ashtastiic]

I’m currently a freshman who’s currently transferring to Rice and hopefully I can start the fall semester as a sophomore there! I’m so nervous and I had major imposter syndrome and I’m scared of the difference and difficulty of college work in the uni level. Thank you so much for this video! 💕😊

I feel relatable to many things on this video and comments here as I transfer to UBC from CC as age of 23. I even transferred to uni without knowing my major lol so the syndrome was real cuz everyone else was doing job hunting while I was still struggling learning about new field, which made me behind sm. But then I realized I will be able to do that at my own pace cuz literally, "everyone has own timeline"

[airmarkvalladares]

I really needed this, I am transferring to a big university after a two year break, and I am nervous as hell.

[eduardoaldas]

Excellent testimony! Your sincerity and real concern for helping other college students have some insight into transferring were spectacular.

[mm-jyvy]

Thank you so much I needed to here this. I'm almost done with my Associates in Graphic Design and researching what college I want to transfer to.

[rickyhwa]

This video helps tremendously and should be watched by more ppl. No cap this video slaps :)

I transferred from Santa Monica City college to UCLA.... I was mentored by UCLA Alumni within my major and even had direct interactions with the current UCLA professors before tranferring ... This all made the settling in part absolutely smooth

[brishawn]

I love the way you explain things this video made me feel a little less scared to start preparing to transfer I SUBBED!!! 💜
