Why it worked

The video provides practical, actionable advice for a specific audience (incoming university students) by listing essential items. The creator's personal experience and endorsement of each item, particularly the Claude Pro subscription, add credibility and relatability.

Summary

The creator, going into their fifth year of university, shares five essential items for incoming first-year students. The list includes a 2-in-1 laptop (Microsoft Surface Pro), quality headphones (Beats Studio), calculators (Texas Instruments BA II Plus), a pencil case, and a Claude Pro subscription.

4Essential #3: Calculators
5Essential #4: Pencil Case
6Essential #5: Claude Pro Subscription

Product placement

Surface Pro: it acts as a 2-in-1 laptop and can fold, allowing for handwritten notes. Removing it would change the functionality of the video. Claude Pro: a subscription service that the creator switched to from ChatGPT, calling it life-changing and essential for college students. Removing it would change the content of the video.

If you're incoming first year going into university, here are the top five things you need to buy throughout the school year. Number one is a high quality laptop. I use the Microsoft Surface Pro, it acts as a 2-in-1 and it can fold and I also have the pen with it if I want to write my notes on it. Number two is a high quality pair of headphones. I use the Beats Studio and these come in handy, especially when I'm sitting in a common room or a library and I want to study. Number three is your calculators. You don't want to sleep on these. You're definitely going to use one at some point in your university or college degree, and if you're a business major, don't sleep on the BA II Plus by Texas Instruments because you're going to need this for your finance classes. Number four is a pencil case. I carry this around all the time. The amount of times that I get asked for a pen or pencil for an exam is kind of insane, so having this comes in clutch. And finally at number five is a Claude Pro subscription. This one has been life changing, especially this year after I switched from ChatGPT. One's like essential for every college student.
