Honestly, the more time you spend away from your family especially if you grow up with violence or toxic traditions/behaviour, is so good for teens and people in their early 20s. I totally regret not spending more time away from home or even going to school abroad. You just end up being more socially well adapt and happier. You learn to love and appreciate your family more as well whereas when you're sheltered it's the total opposite.

🤯 the alarm kills me

i love love LOVE the editing style, and the outfits you wore are stunning! your school seems so fun, i hope you’re enjoying it

as a tan girl with monolids I always doubted myself and my looks, but at your channel I feel a sense of comfort! Don’t listen to what others say, you’re gorgeous and beautiful and thank you ❤

6:10 girl don’t even worry. As a fellow asian girl who’s behind in math too, I feel you 100%. I don’t even have a reason. I was always just slow and lost as a kid which made me repeat 7th grade math which in turn pushed me back an entire math grade. I currently am going into 11th grade and in order to catch up I am taking two math classes next year. (Wish me luck oh my gosh)

I love the vibe of your vlogs! Super warm and cozy. I hope you did well on your tests!

the alarm sound in the beginning is bringing me back trauma

I just got accepted into my dream boarding school not too long ago! So It's super awesome to see you thrive in this this kind of environment while still being yourself

I was always threatened with boarding school and now that i want to go they wont let me- (you inspire me so much bte, keep up the incredible work)

You and your friends are so fun to watch! I love the bond!

Does the food at your boarding school cost money, or can you just grab it? When you order mail, is it put into a mailbox thing like in apartments or does it actually go straight to your dorm room door? Do you have main subjects that are mandatory like science, math, ela etc? Do you even have gym class in boarding school? Do your parents visit you? How (what is the process) do your parents visit? Can you eat food at anytime? (like go to the area where food is served and there is always food there?) Do students regularly skip class? (in my school, public ( although it's summer break now) kids would all the time and it was basically normal) How often do fights happen? How are fights treated? How do students and teachers view fights? (In my school, especially in the 7th grade there was 3 fights a month ranging to three fights a week) How often do students vape/do drugs? (Kids vape at my school basically regularly but it wasn't really considered normalized, but rather no one really cared. There have been few incidents with actual drug use.)

I've been boarding since I was 8 at two different schools and let me say it's really not that bad. At first, you might feel homesick or sad but you get used to it reasonably quickly and the older you are the less rules and restrictions you get. For instance, you hand in your phones for the first three years of secondary school, and then for the last three you keep all devices (my current school's rules). Also, in my experience you get less roommates the older you are and eventually (at my school) you get your own dorm. You can form great friendships at boarding school with people who you probably wouldn't even be friends with otherwise and honestly I think it's a good life experience. So to anyone who's going into boarding, good luck and hopefully you'll have a good time! Obviously I know boarding isn't for everyone but this is just from my point of view

hi Iyan! I really hope you are doing well as you said your mental heath hasn't been as good recently and I wanted to say that you are a really remarkable person and I'm really inspired by you and everything you've done so far! also, as someone who's also behind in math compared to the 'standard' level for my grade, I also feel insecure, especially when I see other people who are younger than me doing supper advanced stuff. just know that you are not alone and you've got this! make the most of the time you have now because it really matters and I know that so many people belive in you

always excited to see you upload! your videos bring me so much happiness

it's actually unbelieveable how gorgeous you are. this video is editted so well, really good job iyan!!!

I've been a silent viewer but i LOOOOVEEE your channel so much! keep it up

I'm entering my fourth and final year of boarding school and this is one of the most calming vlogs i've seen. I love your style of editing and the way you showed the joys of your school but also the struggles of boarding school...thank you for sharing!! Good luck this year :)

thanks for posting a video at the right time i’m anxious. (currently broke our in tears from a party. i have no idea why i’m crying now, but this cured me.)

im going to boarding school next year and as someone thats moved a lot their whole life too ur vlogs r making me feel sm less nervous about going so thank u🫂

honestly, if your parents are sending you to boarding school without you wanting to go, will just create distance between you and your parents, as said there is nothing in this world that doesn’t has disadvantages…your parents can be right at some point if they want you to go they just want you to be independent and strong but it’s not the strategy everyone has, and if you don’t want to go your parents should respect your decision as well! After all it was their choice to give you birth and you are not someone’s mistake

Not gonna lie I found you from your first video and I love these vlogs they are so well edited and just the perfect amount of talking and doing

I remember getting sent to boarding school in Korea back when I was 12/13. Hated it. Spent my whole life growing up in Canada, and was thrown into a whole new culture and society out of nowhere. Sure I can look back and appreciate that those times are the reason I'm very versed in my national culture and have pride in my country, but it really wasn't fun being 12 at a boarding school in a country where bullying was at its peak

Always happy to see you post❤You are my favorite KZfaqr and you have the BEST style of clothes. Keep doing what YOU love!😆

as a fellow boarding school kid it is truly an experience I love it

love it! your such an inspiration to me

wait this looks like so much fun and everything seems so cozy and cool and silly and wowowow i am currently pacing around in circles i wanna go to a boarding school holy moly

you look literally stunning in every video i click on, it's absolutely insane, and the videos are amazing! your friend group looks so cool

besides the fact that the opening gave me anxiety, this was a really nicely edited video! :D

Getting sent to boarding school for the upcoming year; this video helped to ease my nerves. Thank you, and love the editing style!

I love how your dorm looks 😊

Choosing other shoes because of ankle strength is so relatable!

Girll how are your outfits so gorgeous! Like even your pj's are stunning❤

Thank you for this! I’m writing a story that takes place partially in a boarding school so I’m trying to get a general feel for what it’s like. This was useful:)

I can't tell you how relived I was when you talked about the holes in your maths I thought it was just me lol also your fashion sense is really cool

Yesss another great vid form iyan!!! I always get so exited when u post bc I love ur videos sm! Great style and ur very pretty :))

this is so cute! i dotnt know if anyone has commented this already but just so you know 00:00 = midnight, 12:00 is midday! Thanks girly for the cute vids

Glad to see people are blessed

OMG A NEW UPLOAD! i waited for this yaasssss!

apparently im in love with your hairstyle. Can you make a video about it ???i want those bangssss

ahhhh I love your videos so much Iyan!!! Do you have any footage from NY because if you do I'd love to see a vlog from that trip!

omg yay im early hi iyan! you’re videos are so comforting and they make me happy 😊

I enjoy ur content a lot!!

this made me feel better even tho i’m not going to boarding school 🥹 a dang spider was on my face, and there’s a HUGE fly in my room, whats even worse is that i’m terrified of bugs

YOU ARE SO PRETTY, LOVE YOU(also your videos about Asian standards are so healing

this editing style is SO PERFECT!!!!

i'm going to boarding school after the summer and i'm SO excited

going to boarding school in august! this video makes me excited

Honestly,youre the most beautiful girl,model,teen i have ever seen.dont give up on your dreams.we are always here to suport u

dayum this actually looks really fun

sav is my fav character in the v1ryse universe

i used to be scared of boarding schools since parents from childhood always plants this scary version of it at a young age but i do regret not convincing them to send me there since it could have helped me grow and see things more in a different since a change in an environment leads to a change in the person, it's debatable if its a good one or a bad one. going to boarding school would have helped me be more mature and independent which i struggle now with since my mother spoils me rotten (not in a good way).

😭 you are absolutely gorgous ly girlll

bro the alarm at the beginning gave me ptsd I did not expect that omg

I was actually going to go to a boarding school! I live on the West coast and we were looking for boarding schools over East since that's where a lot of my family is. Sadly, we couldn't find any ones that fit within our price range and had the kind of curriculum we were looking for. Still makes me sad sometimes but oh well!

definitely my comfort vlogger

i absolutely adore your vibe, personality, fashion, and editing! as a small youtuber myself, i wanted to ask what platform u use to edit your videos

4:11 OMG I USED TO LOVE THOSE PIES, BUT ONLY THE LEMON ONES 🤩

your school looks LUXURIOUS

Omg I love the pies saki eats! my convenience store sells them too and I get one whenever I do well on a test or other big accomplishments

I love your video omggg , and I also learn English from your videos

So cute 💕

The fact this was set on my birthday

Kudos to your editor 👏 btw we will appreciate it if the captions were bigger

when she pressed the alarm aggressively, i felt that.

naw my mum really wanted me to go to a boarding school bc she went as a kid and it worked out well, but my dad didn't want me to... after seeing this i kinda wish i did 💀 it looks so fun and socializing, and as an introvert i'm wondering how different things would've worked out if i was forced into meeting and getting along with ppl like that 🤷‍♀ as well as being away from my insane family

The title of the video alone was enough to make me subscribe lolol. This is my kind of humour

ily!

ur so pretty and slay ily 🫶🏼🫶🏼

lmaoo i used to say the same thing😭 the grade i get determines the college i get into which determines how much i make in the future which determines how happy i will be😭

I LOVE SAVS HOODIE OMG

the alarm in the beginning went for so long it was actually painful😭

I got this notification in perfect time. I was surching for so long for something to watch with my food 😭😂

One of my old roommates had the same alarm and she used to set it to 3am to give herself time to wake up…but wouldn’t wake up to it 😫 The brings back traumatic memories lol

omg how u edit is so cool

Your so pretty

I genuinely love your videos and I hope to have a lifestyle like yours one day! (Please tell me the name of your school so I can join)

I remember I always got threatened and would cry but now that I’m older I kinda wished I was sent

I am British and your accent was actually really good haha

Iyan is honestly a mood❤

I went to boarding school for 2 years. I actually really miss it, really great experience. :(

In my rural boarding school we are in jail: limited food - one tray per 7 person, no water - shower with 1 cup of water / cooking using rain water, disease trap - everyone has some kind of lice on their hair and body, no space - we sleep like a group of fishes in a can. The worst part was the brainwash and sexual assaults by the teachers. But after getting through all of that in 1 year, I can live anywhere with no complain.

Ok but why is no one talking abt how gorgeous she looks doing literally everything and nothings. Ur voice is perfect like omg

hehe you all are all chaotic 🥹 cute vid

Who else just loves when people just have a natural messy room like mine lol

Iyan, I love your hair! Do you think you can consider uploading a hair tutorial? Thank you 🫶

I love u

Omg can you please do a hair and makeup tut (if ur comfortable with it) I love your hair and makeup sm 😭(if you haven’t done it already)

Omg I have the EXACT SAME thing for maths! I move to different countries a lot due to my dads job, and they all have a very different mindset and the way they all learn is just different every time, that’s why I barely know anything abt maths

Dude it’s so weird they would tell me if you get in trouble you’ll go to a boarding school but when I did they didn’t care that much and didn’t send me now I told them I wanted to go they said they wouldn’t allow me 💀😭

The naming of the video was very specific but can relate

Love ur videos!, I’m obsessed with the songs u guys used what are they called can’t find them lol

The elegance screams

Hi im a new follower and i love your videos i hope your dream come true good luck

THE ALARM GIRLY MY EARSS😦😦

Can you please do a makeup tutorial vid i really love your makeup, Love your vids

The alarm... Even till now I'm scared of it

Dude are you gonna tune in to the “becoming a model and getting signed” journey you got me on? Lolol

Your school is so nice. My boarding school isn’t nearly as nice. We’re not allowed to have our phones and have only one device with lots of restrictions. We get pretty lousy food and it is overall pretty strict. So it all depends on the kind of school you are sent to.

BTW, I recommend you bring or leave some dressing for your sandwiches at school. The one you made seems yummy but it also looks quite dry. If you had some dressing or balsamic vinegar and olive oil, it would compliment the sandwhich well.

i’ve been considering boarding schools recently but the tuition+boarding is real expensive so might i ask (anyone), how do you afford these sorts of things?
