I've come out of retirement -- the crazy thing is, I'm just getting started.

One guy who can actually say his life’s a movie. Whole character arc and everything. Thanks for sharing it with us. Chills man !

Thanks Elliot… As I write this I can’t help to think how embarrassing it is for a 50 year old, middle aged, Korean man to comment on a you tube video from a 20 something - that statement not only makes me feel old but old fashion as well. In 2018, I started out watching your Vanderbilt day in a life video to gain some insight into colleges for my oldest daughter who was applying to colleges. And lately, I’ve turned back to your videos as my youngest daughter will be getting ready to apply to colleges, but I forgot you graduated already. The truth is…I realized that I’ve been watching more for myself than for my kids. I guess watching your content brings back memories of my college years and my 20’s. Just wanted to say that I appreciate your courage, creativity, and humility.

Elliot, what a MOVIE 🍿 Congratulations can’t wait to see where you go from here!

who tryna see the sequel???! Elliot getting his Phd

nah this is actually emotional bro it feels like a closed chapter for us fans aswell. but good luck bro

The fact that he summarized 4 years of his life into 12 minutes just shows me how fast the college experience goes by. Because of this video I’ll savor every bit of college. Thanks so much.

"Having something worth crying over is the most beautiful part of it all" This resonated with me SO much, I've been experiencing a similar feeling these past few days. The fact that it sucks that something is over just means how great it was 🙌🏼 Still means it's okay to be a bit sad about it ♥️

proud of you, elliot 😌🤙

*For me, it seems that Elliot has never left college for 20 years* 😱

dude that piece control was NUTS 1:43 no joke though this video was such a ride, inspiring and masterful, thank you for uploading this

Man this got me in tears. I'm a freshman and this made me realise how much memories covid is taking away from us 😢

Congrats Elliot!!!🚀

Beautifully said. What a come back!

Ayooo this made mo so emotional. Watching Elliot's journey from his freshman to senior year was really a roller coaster ride. Keep doing you and keep inspiring others man. Cheers!

finally got the courage to watch this (after almost a month) and honestly when I first saw your IG story about this vlog, I kind of feel sad since I adore you and your college vlogs sooo much. Choyboy graduating college feels like we're graduating too and I'll be happy to see you on your next journey. we're always with you to support you in everything you do.

as an incoming freshman, this video is honestly so inspiring and made me feel like no matter how low my life could possibly drop to, there is always a way to turn it around. thank you elliot for sharing your journey. ♡

A chapter has ended for us fans too when Elliot finished college. Can’t wait for another chapter you’ll be sharing with us! Congratulations, Elliot! 🥳

Why am I crying? This is so beautiful! I'm in the first year of college and damn this pandemic really ruined everything. I hope I can experience something as close as you did.

Truly an inspiration to college students all over the world. My college story is getting started and it’s awesome to have watched someone else’s! I wish you the best on the rest of your journey, Elliot!

11:25 just remember that wasn’t his last time in the dorm room. he had to go back to get his camera

Crying cause I just graduated college and didn’t have any memories like you did :(

This is motivational I literally come here time to time when I'm losing hopes in my coding Thank you elliot Really never stop :)

i never realized how i basically almost know all of your college life damn it's gonna be weird seeing you not talking about school and your campus 😭 but congratulations! youve made it. we're so proud of you

I found Eliot when he posted fascinating “a day in my life as a college student”. I was totally moved and b4 I knew, I subscribed his channel. Since then, I have watched every his videos. I feel times flew by.. can’t believe his graduation. Anyway, Eliot is one of the best KZfaqr. A big fan from Japan.

Dang I remember watching your channel ever since you posted the first day in my life video. Since then I’ve loved watching your vids and was always so inspired to work hard and go to college because of them. It’s crazy how life whizzes by! Sad to see this chapter of your life come to a close but I know there’s so much more to come and I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!

Your story makes me want to live life to the fullest. Living is about bonding with others 💛

Just finished binge watching all of your vids since I discovered you a few days ago and man what a ride! Gonna enter College in a few months and I’m bringing with me the life lessons you shared with us. Thanks for making me see a new viewpoint on life. Might be late but congrats Elliot! :))

Congratulations Elliot!

this made me cry, it’s so true and everyone doesn’t realize the significance of every second. you never know when you will end another chapter of your life. love you elliot

I remember watching your videos since my freshmen year of high school and now I'm graduating this year. I love your content and the way you present yourself out there motivates me so much. I just wanna thank you for inspiring so many, you're doing amazing sweetie!! Can't wait to see what adventures are ahead of you in the future!

wow Elliot! This is such a touching story. You went through ups and downs but you overcame. Thanks for sharing your journey!

beautiful vid bro, congrats

To think I was at the very start of Elliot's vids, up until this day, makes me emotional. His vlogs are the primary reason why I was motivated to do things. His videos has truly inspired me to go on with college life. I actually never get tired watching his amazing vlogs repeatedly. Thank you Elliot, for sharing us your wonderful college life. I'm so proud of you.

Thank you for being a good example! It turns out that everyone gets depressed sometimes, but there's always a way to cheer up and go through it. This video brought so much enlightenment and comfort to me. love u and your videos

Thank you Elliot. I've been following since the very beginning of your channel. Everytime I don't know what my next step in life should be I watch your videos and I felt hopeful and refreshed again. I want to thank you for guiding me out of my darkest day even I'm not in the US, and I hope that you will still upload these day-in-the-life vlog and share more about your life and your thought. Congrats!

Finally a KZfaqr with a high solid following that fully attended and enjoyed their college life instead of dropping out and pursuing KZfaq full time

he said that everyone made his college the best years of his life but he doesn't know how much he gave inspiration to many people out there and how threw quality content at us in his college years

I really like the way he summarizes his story, it's really touching. You've got my subcribe

Aw. Congratulations Elliot. Followed your story from your first college vlog - I was just finishing off college & returning to my homeland. Wishing you the very best in your future endeavor!

its crazy to see how much youve grown- your college vlogs brought me so much joy (who knew anything school related would make me happy) and im so hyped to see all the amazing things youll do in the future elliot :))

dude this is like watching a coming of age story in real time, elliots story arc is so inspirational

This was a complete experience on another level, I attended my first semester of college and the pandemic happened. In India, the situation is still bad and almost none of us have been to college for more than a year. Each and every day passes by and I just can't stop thinking about what all would've happened if covid never existed. Thank you so much for this video ❤️

This was so beautiful to watch! So proud of you for living in the moment, and making the best of everything. #crying

As someone who has watched Elliot from sophomore year to today, its crazy to see how far he has come. Congrats Elliot!

Inspiration to me as a fellow college student - keep being you Elliot ❤️

stoppp this was the sweetest thing i've ever seen. I'm getting ready to start college and can only hope the next few years are this good!

Congratulations Elliot! I'm grateful that I get to watched your vlogs and gain motivations from it. You're bittersweet journey is such an inspiration. Wishing you all the best on your future endeavors in life. Hope you'll noticed.

This vid really gave me the chills and made me feel some way. It really emulates how important it is to make to best of every situation. Shit, I’m only in college for a couple more years and this had me thinking hard. Thank you Elliot for sharing this journey with us, and it’s ups and downs. Glad to see a new chapter opening up in your life.

Am I seriously crying? Elliot, you've changed my life in so many ways and I'm so grateful to have found you in the first place. You've truly inspired me to do more, and I am so proud to see who you have become today. You're gonna do so much more in the future, and everyone can't wait.

Congratulations Elliot! I’m really proud for you and you inspire me to be better, thank you for uploading great content and inspiring me.

Started watching your videos since 2018 and I loved to see how you get along with people as I’m kinda a quiet type. Watching this one really rings me to make my another 2 years of college worth every second. Thank you so much

Man's remembered his KZfaq password, congrats! Good luck in the future!

Congrats! Dude, I literally cried to this even though I'm in high school and got 2 years left, you're such an inspiration to me and so many of your fans. You inspired me to keep on pushing on doing what I love which is content creation and just make everyday a great one since you can't go back. Hopefully my High School and College days will be as good as your story Elliot. Keep up the work homie.

Your video made me realize how much I missed out in college and it makes me pretty sad. All the great experiences I could’ve made with those around me left unwritten because I would rather stay in my room playing Siege. To those of you still in college or about to enter, please ENJOY it while you can and try to make the best experience possible with those around you. Always remember that time is the most valuable thing in this world and what you do within it will help you when you’re old and grey to determine whether it was a life worth living.

I started crying too, I can’t believe how much Elliot grew

i graduated high school today and i’m really looking forward to coming back to this video and comment in a few years after i graduate college

"You don't know what you got, til it goes, til it's gone"

it’s weird to see the news of the beginning of corona now, it seems surreal

And when the world needed him most, he returned

College was the best years of my life and let me say this, you’re just getting started. You’ve just built the foundation to life long friends.

this college video made me cry and is making me want to go to school again - hangout with friends, be late to major classes, be silly and just live, thank u elliot! u the man!

Congrats elliot on to a new chapter, wishing you the best. Thank you for posting this video. it really hit me hard, Reminds me of my high school days i'm never going to get back. Really had me crying there. It feel like it was just yesterday You made that daily in the life at vandi. Life moves way to quickly sometimes.

This human is passionate about the quality of his content every single time . Another non-monetised video !!! You deserve the World.

CONGRATS ELLIOT!!! Damn I can't believe we won't be seeing any college vlogs from you anymore. I'm about to be a college Senior this fall, and although my college journey hasn't been as movie-like as yours, your vids always inspire to make the most of my college years. Can't wait to see what you do next!

I actually cried while watching this video!! You're such a blessed young man.

It’s been 3 years and I keep coming back to this video every time I feel like I need the motivation to keep going. Thanks to your videos I keep my motivation. Thank you Elliot :)

I watched you since my sophomore year of high school and now heading into my sophomore year of college, best of luck in the next phase of your life

The ending had me feelin sad as well. What a journey and still more to go! Can’t wait for the next chapter Elliot!

i always get so envious when I rewatch this video Elliot! My college experience was not memorable at all, and i'm still figuring out life now. watching you happy makes me happy (: keep it up!

This popped up in my recommended and I watched the whole thing though...made me so happy. My college years were both some of the worst and best of my life. I almost ended my life because I was being so severely bullied on my college campus, which caused me to drive to and visit my boyfriend (now my future husband!!) on his college campus incredibly often, which resulted in me meeting his roommates and friend group. From there, it was history. I have some of the best friends I never imagined I would ever have, they literally saved my life, and we hang out every week despite having graduated over 5 years ago. I’m so happy you had amazing college years and made friends!! May your next chapter be amazing 💕

Congratulations man. Your success, in college and here on KZfaq, is truly well-deserved. I’ve learnt a lot and gotten so much inspiration from your videos. Excited to see the next chapter for you bro. x

😭Because we can all relate. This brought me back to my uni years, the most fun chapter of my life.Thank you Elliot!❤️

This is gonna get tens of millions of views. Such a masterpiece!!!!

I loved how u expressed the genuine emotions and reality along the video. Thanks Elliot for sharing such incredibly inspiring story. ❤️

This is the guy who motivated me the most is now graduating and going to his new life, even though it’s hard for him to leave but I’m happy for him.

Eliot really went from making videos about college and waking up early to making his college life a cinematic experience, (with a rising action, a climax and a falling action) the level of growth and depth your videos have had over the last few years is amazing....... Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!!!!

Man. Now that I am thinking back, the first year or two, were fun-ish. After that, it was all downhill with covid, and me studying online at home and not seeing anyone at all. Even my labs were done from home. I wish it was more fun. We didn't even have a proper graduation ceremony, it felt very dull to graduate just on paper. Your video gave me energy, and made me think of some of the fun moments I had. Congratulations btw. Make more videos, you're close to a million!

I recently graduated from college too. My years in college were the most amazing years of my life. You got me crying over here.

As a student navigating through life and college, thank you for your content and your philosophies as a content creator/KZfaqr. I think I can say on behalf of many of your followers, you have inspired and entertained all of us in various ways that have positively impacted us. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you, Elliot!

why did this make me cry. i’ve watched you since the beginning and so watching this was beautiful

You’re such an awesome person Elliot. I remember starting to watch your videos a few years back because of your college content, and you’ve been such an inspiration for me throughout high school. You’re videos are SO GOOD, and I’m so glad you had an awesome time in college! P.S.- I live in Nashville too! I was always kind of hoping that I would run into you sometime so I could say hi. Unfortunately I never got yo meet you, but I still wish you the best for all your future endeavors! You’re the best.

This is such an inspiring video, literally gave me chills the whole duration. Surely will make me think about the bittersweet ending to my college year and only wish it was as nearly amazing as yours.

Dude almost made me cry towards the end! So proud you finally found yourself and are happy Elliot! Can’t wait for future content and epic trips!! Stay strong :) ♥️

While watching this vid, tears began to fall idk why but you really inspire me, I saw how you become successful here in youtube, thank you for sharing your life, CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK ON YOUR NEXT JOURNEY!

That facts and memories made me cry along. It made think back then in collage and besties. Thanks for sharing. You're motivative.

started tearing up with you and im only in sophmore in highschool, crazy how much like older you are than me, but i can relate to what your feeling a little bit, thanks for being here and making my days better by posting.

Wow, that's a beautiful and refreshing college experience, on the other side me who just want to finish my university so badly, I wish I had a beautiful experience like yours.

ever watch something about someone you dont even know and feel so happy for them. Congrats man! I just started college and i would be happy to have mine end half as good as this!

This is absolutely beautiful!!! Congratulations Choy!❤️❤️❤️❤️

I feel like I’ve raised a kid after watching your videos since your sophomore year and seeing you graduate. I want to cry so hard, but at the same time, I feel like you’re just starting, and we can see more of what you can do. This is weird of me to be proud of you, but you deserve everything you’ve accomplished. Sending 💗

Crazy how I watched your success throughout all the years. I recently just graduated too and I know how it feels. Thank you for sharing with us your journey!

I cried during the whole video. Your story is so touching and inspiring! Always keep doing and never give up

I can see that your college years were fun, but please don't assume your time in college will always be the best years of your life. I'm sure you will have more exciting and happier times to come.

I’ve both enjoyed living vicariously with you and learning so much from you. You may not realize what you teach others, especially someone like me but you have and do. You are inspirational, calming, and thoughtful and I can’t wait to continue supporting your journey!

These are the type of videos I love watching, I'm happy for your success and congratulations Elliot :) This makes me feel less nervous about the thought of growing up and going to College. I'm glad you caught all of these glorious moments on camera :)
