🌺Aloha, I’m Katie! I'm a Filipina teen studying abroad at Cornell University. I love creating products at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and design to uplift communities I'm part of. I want to do too many things, and I want to make it all work… so that’s what my YouTube channel is about. Join me on this crazy journey and together, we'll learn, struggle, and hopefully find the courage to live our dreams.

As a tech manager, I found this video to be a valuable and relatable guide to navigating social life in college. It's clear that college is not just about academics, but also about building relationships and finding a sense of community. The strategies and tips provided in the video for making and maintaining connections are practical and useful, and I appreciate the focus on finding a balance between social and academic commitments. Thank you for sharing your experience and insights on this important aspect of the college experience.
