GOAT YouTuber. I’ve been watching you for 3 years now. You really made a difference in my academic life, and I am super grateful for that. Failed to get into an Ivy this year but will try again next year as a transfer. I might make use of nextadmit if you guys offer transfer assistance.

Keep up the goat work👍

This summer I’ve decided to devote myself to improving. A big part of that improvement grind is academics. Your videos are so so helpful not just for school but much more, keep it up 🙂

Note: I don’t think mentors have to be college professors or business owners. Getting to know an upperclassman that has some experience in an extracurricular or something can also go a way.

A stream and a video in one day?! I love it!!

Can you make a video about how to get good grades, and talk about what are the best note taking methods, or best study method, something even like getting ready for a test or the finals, or even how to get ready for the next grade.

I only really like art(many forms), and I have always been the artist kid since kindergarten. I really want to be a freelancer animator, and maybe even someday make my own show or cartoon with my sister, who is also an artist. Your videos and shorts really help me stay inspired to try to be better in school, i even choose to take away one of my electives for next year for extra math classes that will go on my level that is lower than the others at my grade so i can slowly get back up and im also getting art classes as my next one :)
