My first week as a politics student at the University of Oxford

Come along with me for my first week at the University of Oxford as a visiting student studying politics! In this vlog, I move into my dorm, do lots of studying before my first class, attend a charity ball, go to college orientation, and struggle to balance academic and social life during freshers week. Thanks for watching :)

    As someone who struggles in school.. i will always respect a students ability to focus and concentrate both in class and on assignments. All while getting exceptional grades.
  • @sweetcait

  • @tanvi790
    all the architechture, the surrounding, the atmosphere is so sound and charming they give me the harry potter vibes🌈✨
  • @Bowwownow
    It's amazing how you are able/ lucky enough to find friends so quickly. Here in my college, most of my classmates seem to lack friendliness
  • @JustJamieonYT
    As someone who's lived in Oxford their whole life and doesn't appreciate it, it's nice seeing other people appreciate its beauty! enjoy your studies!!
  • @axngie1867
    As someone who lives in London, I've never seen Oxford but seeing how it looks, my heart feels all warmed up. I love seeing people having fun over here because I mostly see American college vlogs. I hope you are having a great time and living your dream happily. If you're staying here over the summer I suggest going to Central London and going on the London Eye. I'm already in love with your vlogs!! Definitely subscribing!
  • I can't believe this is your first video, it's very calming, comforting and feels like spending a day with a friend. Your editing really conveys the excitement and suspense of a new start in a new place. I wish you a lot of joy and valueable experiences on your journey. Seeing you finding friends and having fun really makes me happy and motivates me to maybe be make more bold choices that may take you out of your comfort zone or what you've been used to😊
  • @violetha20uwu
    i love how the section on your first two years of college is such a rollercoaster, it's honestly inspiring how you show change, or even turbulence, is not a bad thing; in fact, it's an opportunity for new exciting events to enter your life. love your vlogs so please keep making them 💖💖
  • I love how you aren’t scared to move on to new opportunities and pursue learning it’s so inspiring !
  • @alexn8092

    I went to UCLA for my master degree and had a fab time there. Now sitting on my office table and after seeing morning patients, I truly enjoy your Univlog. It is so refreshing to see a goal-oriented young lady and chase your dream. I wish you all the best and experiencing life! And yes, thank yourself and parents daily for doing the right things! 👏👏👏

    I can’t believe this is your first video on this channel! Your editing is soooo good and the video itself is very calming to watch ❤ I wanted to travel abroad to London during my junior year of college, but it never happened :( I’m living through you despite being in my senior year now 😊 I can’t wait to see what else you’ll post!! Edit: oh wow, I wasn't expect this to be my first 1k likes on youtube! Thank you <3 Edit 2: 2k likes?! Holy shit, thanks guys <3
  • This is such an amazing vlog and i’m surprised to see it’s your very first one! It’s only so inspiring to me, and it gives me the right push to finish with my applications. As someone’s who’s 19 and just starting university, seeing someone who’s my age yet already starting their junior year is insane. Much respect & admiration!
  • @Chivvv
    The fact that u made friends in the time span of the first day u were there is amusing to me,as well as ur hard work and patience especially while changing so many schools.I’m sure you’ll go a far way!
  • @libbydavies1078
    As a londoner and someone who has been to oxford, it felt quite refreshing and inspiring to watch a video in a place I remember being, from the book shop to the cafe! I'm so used to watching vids set in America, I love this.

    Tips for studying and improving grades in case you also wanna go into a good uni or college: 1. Take notes while in class (make sure your writing is neat and clean to understand it clearly). 2. Review your notes and past test papers multiple times everyday, and then test yourself. 3. Watch videos related to what your struggling with recommend doing and/or learning the basics, before getting to the hard part. 4. Say positive affirmations to not bring your hope and confidence down, remember your grades doesn't define who you are it defines your potential and knowledge throughout the class years. 5. This is just extra but study with the smart person in class so that you can ask questions and for help, depends if they are nice enough and don't forget to tell them about your grades and struggles so they take you seriously.
