  • Hey, it’s JR right here.

  • School has started and that means a lot of orientation events are coming your way.

  • And soon enough your seniors are going to be asking you the big question.

  • Do you want to go to the department orientation camp?

  • When I sayask,” I actually mean they just want you to go.

  • You don’t have to go if you don’t want to.

  • But you know, theyve probably put in a lot of effort and spent a lot of money on it

  • and they probably need you to chip in.

  • Yes, syue jhang! This is my fee.

  • Now that’s right, syue di! Welcome to college!

  • The pros of going you get to see your classmates and seniors much faster

  • and it might be helpful in the coming years.

  • Cons are.. it’s usually not that cheap and you might have to take off your pants.

  • in some rare.. unlikely to happen..

  • and actually did happen this year cases. Which happened to have made the news.

  • That’s how I found out.

  • I have a friend and who was a fraternity leader at MIT.

  • College in the States have all these cool fraternity names like

  • Sigma Pi, Omega Alpha, Delta, Gamma, Beta, Kappa, Delta Gamma Beta Kappa [Σ π, Ω α, Δ, Γ, β, Κ, Δ Γ β Κ]

  • They have all these mysterious symbols on their fraternity buildings

  • and you can only know the meaning of it when youre in the fraternity.

  • My friend, in fact, told me that he would have to kill me if he told me what it meant.

  • I can like sue him for that, right?

  • So their fraternity had all these tasks that their freshmen had to pass to qualify for the fraternity.

  • It’s like a dare challenge.

  • One of them was to require the freshmen to run to Harvard University nearby

  • pee on the Harvard statue and come back without getting caught.

  • That’s crazy!

  • No, on second thought, that actually sounds like something that I would do.

  • [Whistle sounds]

  • But things sometimes go out of control.

  • A college freshman actually died this year in the U.S. during an orientation event.

  • So if youve just entered college and people ask you to do dumb things

  • well know when to sayNo!”

  • No one can force you to do anything you don’t feel like doing or anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.

  • People here recently have been talking about some orientation camps that went too far.

  • Saying provocative stuff, implying sexual matters..

  • Not like I’m over-conservative..

  • I can be all.. talking dirty stuff like that.. you know.. like..

  • You Lilsexy thing.. with your Lil'.. boo..

  • What do kids watch these days?!

  • Some require freshmen to take off their clothes and go half-naked during some outdoor events.

  • Not that all camps are like that..

  • but you know.. there are some out there.

  • Just.. you get the idea!

  • But honestly, talking about orientation camps. What happened to the good oldFirst Dance?”

  • [Music] [Fist Dance]

  • [Music] [Party Rock Anthem]

  • And the fire-worshipping!

  • [Singing worship songs]

  • And the meat to scare-the-poop-out-of-you but doesn’t really scare-the-poop-out-of-you midnight trips.

  • [Insect sounds]

  • [BOO!]

  • [~!@#$%^&*]

  • Like man! Back in the days, we really kept it simple.

  • Orientation camps these days have really stepped up their games!

  • Sometimes a bit over the top.

  • So if youve been watching the news lately I bet that’s just the tip of an iceberg.

  • But as I said, you don’t have to do whatever your seniors ask you to do.

  • Theyre like one year older than you

  • and you don’t even listen to your mom and dad.

  • So youre not obliged to do anything that youre told to.

  • Especially when it comes to the things that make you feel uncomfortable.

  • Especially like when people tell you to take off your pants.

  • Why am I laughing? It’s not supposed to be funny.

  • So to help you out, we came up with three ways

  • well, no, that’s two

  • Three ways onHow to keep your pants on during orientation camp?”

  • NUMBER ONE- MAMA SAID

  • Hey, freshman! Take off your pants if you wanna pass this stage!

  • My mama told me I should keep my pants on so that I don’t catch a cold.

  • Rookie.. grow up, man!

  • This is college! Mommy’s like ten thousand miles away..

  • Now..

  • My mama also told me not to take to strangers.

  • Yo! Freshman! I don’t think you get the picture here.

  • Mom~ there’s this stranger that keeps talking to me.

  • NUMBER TWO- ASK QUESTIONS

  • Hey yo, syue di! Come over here! Come over here!

  • I’m the keeper of this stage

  • and I say.. Take off your pants!

  • Why?

  • Cos I can give you bonus points, that’s why!

  • Why do I need bonus points for?

  • So you can pass..

  • Like pass my first midterm examination?

  • No!

  • So are they like credits for graduation?

  • No!

  • So it’s for your own pleasure..

  • ............

  • That’s gross man..

  • Yah dude, it is kind of gross.

  • Gross.. Gross.. Gross!!!!!!

  • What? There’s a bug in my corn.

  • Okay, so you have fun and take off your pants right here. I’ll see you on the bus.

  • NUMBER THREE- BE PREPARED

  • Okay, syue di. To pass this stage, you need to take off your pants.

  • What? Why don’t you take off your pants?

  • Oh.. you chicken?

  • Well in fact I am.. “Chicken” (Rooster) is my zodiac sign.

  • Why? You don’t dare to take off your pants first? You chicken?

  • No, I’m not. I’m eagle!

  • That’s not even in the 12 zodiacs, man!

  • Oh, sorry!

  • You chicken?

  • Okay, you take off your pants if I take off mine! I dare you!

  • Who pa who?”

  • That’s not English.

  • Whatever!

  • Okay, maybe were over-exaggerating a bit. But you get the point.

  • Like you wouldn’t show how much money you got in your personal wallet.

  • You got all these passwords for your smartphones and your laptops, so that only people you trust and that people you allow to can see.

  • So how much more valuable is this?

  • Not the T-shirt.

  • This.

  • Your body.

  • Aren’t you way more valuable than your wallets, your purses, your laptops, your smartphones?

  • Are you sure youre gonna show off your body to people you barely know?

  • People respect other people who respect themselves.

  • Wow, that was kind of twisty.

  • But, it’s true!

  • So you don’t have to do whatever youre told to.

  • Especially if it’s something that makes you feel uncomfortable.

  • And just know thatthis,” your body, is very precious,

  • and you should treat it that way.

  • Son, take off your pants!

  • Mom, I was just talking about this! You can’t just tell people to take off their pants!

  • Do you want me to do your laundry or not?

  • [Music]

Hey, it’s JR right here.
