Kai Trump struggles through first week of college, claims she hasn’t eaten in ‘three days’ see reason why…
Kai Trump seemed to have a hard time adjusting as she settled into her first week at the University of Miami.
Kai, 19, began her freshman year at the Florida school, where she is a member of the women’s golf team, late last month, and she documented her emotional final days at home and initial experience at school in a new video shared to her YouTube channel.
The teen struggled with leaving her home in Jupiter, Florida, and was seen breaking down into tears while having to say goodbye to her family and friends.
In the new vlog posted this week, Kai captured herself sobbing while driving home from the golf course the day before she left for school.
‘It’s just really sad that I have to say goodbye to everyone today,’ Kai said, her eyes filled with tears.
‘I’m not a very emotional person at all, so this is like really weird for me to cry, I’ve only cried a few times. I think knowing that I have to say goodbye to everyone tonight really, really sucks,’ President Donald Trump’s granddaughter admitted.
don’t have to say goodbye to my mom tomorrow, but [saying goodbye to] everybody else [tonight] is sad. I’m struggling right now, just thinking about it,’ she said, adding that she was ‘excited’ for her next chapter but ’emotional’ about it all.
She also included footage of herself hanging out with her friends for the final time, before it cut to the first night in her new Miami apartment.

Kai explained that she didn’t really film much of her first day of college, as she was too ‘sad’ after saying goodbye to her family.
The 19-year-old went on to show what the first week was like, as she ran from golf practice to athletic meetings to class.
At one point, her friend Emma came to visit her at her apartment, and she brought Kai tons of frozen food, as the teen claimed that she ‘hadn’t eaten in three days.’
‘It’s all pre-cooked so she doesn’t have to do anything crazy,’ Emma said.
‘She’s living off of diet sodas, so I got her fruit and prosciutto and we got her some pasta and bread and stuff, like basic foods, she’s basically living off of diet soda.’
The two girls later explored and shopped around Miami.
