As she prepared to start a new milestone at the University of Miami, the teen shared candid footage of herself crying behind the wheel of her car.
“I’m not a very emotional person at all, so this is like really weird for me to cry,” she said, explaining that she has ‘only cried a few times’ in her life.

“I think knowing that I have to say goodbye to everyone tonight really, really sucks.”
She added: “I’m struggling right now, just thinking about it.”
Kai, who is the eldest child of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump did express excitement about her ‘next chapter’. The aspiring professional golfer lived with her parents in Jupiter, Florida, which is an hour and a half away from the University of Miami by car.
“I’m moving on... it happens to everyone. It’s time to move on,” she said.
Kai shared a few details about saying goodbye to her loved ones before moving.
“It was just, like, sad. I just wanted to say goodbye. It was, like, hard to film because I wanted to be, like, present with my family, so I just didn’t film it.”
She also gave her and a look at her new apartment which her mum Vanessa helped her get settled in.
Kai went shopping for her new home which she shared on Instagram on Sunday.
“I’m totally exhausted from going to her apartment, coming back and forth and moving everything,” she said.
“We spent HOURS shopping for everything I could possibly need for my apartment and getting ready for this new chapter of college life!” Kai revealled. “So thankful my mom was there to do it all with me.”
The student said her mum became emotional during the shopping trip.
Kai graduated high school in May after attending The Benjamin School in Palm Beach.
Insiders said at the time that Kai plans to compete on the collegiate golf team alongside her studies at the University of Miami.
Speaking to PEOPLE, one source based in Jupiter, Florida, described the YouTuber as being 'extremely focused on golf', adding: "She has demonstrated the discipline to continue with it and go as far as she can.
"She is a good player. I think she will improve a great deal under the right coaching."
UoM's women's golf team finished in 10th at this year's ACC Championships, an achievement Kai reportedly hopes to contribute to in 2027.
"Kai was impressed with the team in Miami and is excited about going to school there," the insider continued.
The student has reportedly 'grown up' playing golf - especially since moving from New York to the Sunshine State aged 13 - with her Republican grandfather himself being an avid golfer, as well as the owner of over 20 courses.
Earlier this year, Trump gushed about his granddaughter and her golfing skills: "I just wanna say that I play a lot of golf with Kai and she’s a fantastic golfer."
He added: "She's a scratch player, which is amazing. I think some day in the not-too-distant future, she’s gonna be much better than scratch. But she’s doing really well, and she wins a lot of matches.
"And some day she’ll be able to beat her grandfather, but I’m not sure when that’ll be - it might be a long time."
