i’m so sorry about the media offline errors! it looks like there was a glitch when i was exporting from adobe premiere, and youtube’s system doesn’t allow me to correct this once it’s been published. sorry for the issue and i hope it’s not too disruptive to your viewing experience :)

Bruh, the acceptance rate of UCLA is 14%. Good job, girl. So freaking proud of you.

[brushbrushbrushxaday]

don’t know why but i started tearing up when jasmine has started crying and mentioned that she wants her home with her parents and people she knows. i think it’s because it’s the first time i’m seeing jasmine crying.

edit; and i also heard the pain in her voice. i also have thought of myself separating from my parents and thought that it’s actually hard to conquer/accept that. we love you jasmine. <33

It sucks having to move into college like this. Like when I moved in, you have a roommate or two, the whole family helps you move in, you don't ever feel lonely, and floor mates and then when you move in you usually just end up meeting everyone on the floor and you kind of forget about being on your own now and being away from home. Plus I got over my homesickness by the time I was a high school freshman having spent several summers at various camps. The first year I got homesick after that I was ok. I guess the main thing that helps is just to keep yourself busy.

trust me, jasmine, it will be better. I study in a boarding school in the US more than two thousand miles away from home and yes sometimes I just want to be back home. but my school has become home and I'm reduced to tears almost every day because I can only see my school community come to life behind a computer screen and stories on Instagram. being surrounded by so many amazing people and teachers 24/7 really brought out the best in me that my current home has never been able to. ucla will be home to you sooner or later and it will be better. I wish you the best of luck ♡

Although I'm an old lady now lol I remember that feeling after unpacking everything in my dorm and my family had left for the evening. My roommate was gone and the two girls across the hall were gone for the weekend and I just felt so alone. At least you were far enough away from your family to have that feeling. I was literally 3 mi from my house 🙄😒. I would call my mom for anything the first week I lived in the dorms. she actually had to tell me that I didn't need her permission to do anything 😂🤣. Don't worry, soon you'll be accustomed to the feeling and it won't feel so lonely but rather it will start to feel freeing. As many of the comments are saying, we're all here for you and super proud of you.💕💞

Jasmine - I can totally relate! I went to USC and I remember feeling completely isolated even though there were so many students and humans around me. The first time I absolutely broke down was when I got sick at college for the first time and realized there was nobody there to take care of me. But it’s all in the discomfort of growing and becoming independent. You got this 🥰🥰🥰

[Isabel-zdep]

Honestly your feeling are entirely valid. When I was ‘dropped off’ at college that first day I was so distracted with moving stuff around that I didn’t really let myself cope with anything until like midnight when I took a shower and broke down for a bit. My roommates both had friend groups they knew of and were out of the room at the time. Once classes started and club groups form up though you end up meeting people and start being more comfortable.

I'm so out of touch with young people when the "media offline" thing appeared I was like, "This must be one of them Gen Z jokes." 💀

Hey Jasmine!
I understand so well that you're feeling homesick. I spent half a year in Canada this year and I'm only 16 and that was the first time I had been away from home for such a long time without my family. I felt lost and soo homesick during quarantine, but it got better as soon as I started going outside and I could meet my friends again.
I promise, it will be fine. Make sure u take care of yourself, and it will get better and you will feel even better when you can also look forward to the next time you back to the bay area to visit your family.
Hope you're still having a great college experience so far!
Love from Germany,
Catie. ☺️💞

P.S.: if ur room doesn't fell like home yet, make sure u bring a lot of familiar things from home, such as photos, room decor and other things u had hung up in your old room. That will make it feel so much more like your home!

I feel like an era ended when the sad music was playing at the beginning😭😭 I can’t believe you’re in uni now Jasmine! I’ve been watching you for four(?) years already🥰 And I wish you all the best in university! I know it is super scary to settle into a new place but remember that you will still get to see your parents and you will adjust! Much love🥺🥰

[nineyou]

its alright jasmine, we are here for you girl, you're not alone ❤️

[hemajsanil]

Literally I felt like so much closely attached to Jasmine and her room😔❤️ 0:33

[louisemaaree]

5:50 girl, I know how that feels!! It’s such a soul sinking feeling, but once you get into the rhythm of classes and you make new friends, it becomes home.

You got this x

[notnaomie]

I felt that. My first year moving in to a dorm was scary. I didn't know anyone and I was sad to leave my family. I had to move myself in so driving all the way to my university felt like the longest drive ever. I cried while driving for some of the way. I had a 4+ hour drive alone accompanied with music. I am such a homebody so this was a huge change, but I wanted to get outside of my comfort zone and meet new people! It gets a lot better. I know during the pandemic things will be drastically different, but it will get better. I believe in you!

[kotamundaca]

the way you described the feeling of being alone, is EXACTLY what I felt when i moved 2 1/2 hours away for my senior year, it is so sudden, so unexpected, and it lasted about two weeks, but don't worry, it gets better, i promise!

[oliviacatherine]

Hey Jasmine, I have had these moments for a while when it comes to moving in and such. When we live at home for so long we get so used to the routine. Then when that changes and we have to adjust to a new life routine it can be really difficult. It is always bittersweet to move into college. For me every year it so far it has gotten better and I didn’t cry this year. To be fair I moved on slowly and tried to take it easy on myself. It is even harder to move in like you said during the pandemic and it hasn’t been easy on any of us. But I want you to know it will get better. It sounds like such an easy thing to say but it truly will, we will get through this!

[password]

i love how that like depressing section where she was talking about the struggles of basically being homesick she made (unintentionally or not) sound like a movie and it was honestly really cool

[leynanana]

feeling homesick is terrible. the worst thing ever. but ik youre strong and you can get through this, because you are capable!

[daianacdominguez]

Jaz! Dont worry! Remember why are you there, your dreams you want to achive, the hard work you put to get to UCLA. Plus you are never going to be alone, you have an amazing community and a beautiful family and friends. Hope you can feel better soon and have a great start at uni! Sending lots of love! Te super admiro!.
