    Today, I reached a low. Im just tired physically and mentally. On top of that, im tired of feeling tired. I don't know what to do so i'm coming here. I find comfort in knowing I'm not alone. Good luck to anyone who is also struggling.

    When I was a kid…no one and I mean NO ONE loved learning mor then me. Covid hit and that all went downhill. Family drama didn’t help. I am disappointing younger me. I DESPERATELY need to take it seriously. I LOVE school so much and it makes me sad to see I’m just throwing time away instead of lifting myself up. Today on my 16th birthday I am ADAMANT to fix all this bullshit and get on with my life PROPERLY.

    When she said " ITS OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM THAT MADE US BELIEVE THAT WE ARE NATURALLY SMART " it hit home cause I think we all made it a part of our identity to be academically gifted and then suddenly the reality hits like a truck when we all enter uni because we see that everyone is the " THE SO CALLED SMART STUDENT WHICH U WERE TOLD THAT YOU ARE AND SUDDENLY THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM LIKE YOU OR BETTER THAN YOU" and we suddenly go into a whole identity crisis because our "SMART" isn't enough to pass the exams like in scl ... Oh man this video was seriously eye-opening

    I really related to your “smart kid but when you failed, you thought that you had already reached your peak so everything goes downhill from there” experience. Took a leave of absence from uni for 3 semesters because of burn out and fear of my last year at school, thinking that I hadn’t really learned anything at all. I was always scared of people finding out i’m a fraud and that the smart girl they knew is actually just really average. Got impostor syndrome bc i got into my country’s top uni, then realized how big the world is and how naturally smart some people are. Then i didn’t even know how to study because i never needed to in high school, so i got shit grades in uni. Now, i can’t say that i’m not afraid anymore or that i’ve turned into a more driven person, but i’m trying to implement this growth mindset now that i’m going back to uni. Instead of focusing on the fact that I failed, I need to focus on why I did and what I could do better. I need to actually make use of the consultation hours of my professors. Instead of memorizing, i need to understand why.
    Loved the video! Thanks for sharing

      ive found my people, wow u literally just described me in the end... being labeled as a "smart kid" I always got good grades but convinced myself it was just cuz the teachers liked me and I was being. good student, and now when I am about to start high school after summer, I tried looking at some stuff we would be working with there and I genuinely didn't understand a lot of what I was learning, I felt like I had just lost my potential and right now I am so horrified becase I just lost hope in myself nd im not even TRYING to pick myself up, I try to gaslight myself into thinking I know what im doing and its all gonna work our just fine beacause thru out 0-9th grade ive always done my sh1t last minute and my "natural intelligence" saved my ass and so I got A's, but in 9th grade things changed, things got harder and my "natural talent" wasn't good enough, I fel hopeless. ur video really made me realise that this is not the end. I have 3 years to change things so that I can pursue my dream of maybe some field in either medicine or maybe engineering, maybe even dentistry. idk yet, but with good grades I can become what I want.

    "you're not stupid, it’s your academic flop era ", the title couldn't have been more resounding for me. As someone who was also labelled as a smart child since primary schools it has always been inbuilt for me to perform academically better. The first 2 years of my college year went really nice then starting 3rd year i failed both my 5th and 6th semester and it was such a blow that i found it really hard to accept that fact. The worst fact was that I actually worked very hard for them. I had studied the hardest in my life an still getting such results it felt just like how you explained, that i had already peaked academically and there's only downfall from now on, from being annoyed seeing a C on my mark-sheet to straight up seeing Ds and Fs have been a terrible experience. It wasn't that i gave up but I stopped trying for a while and let go because working hard didn't seem to have meaning anymore. It just felt unlucky to experience that, cause i clearly worked hard . Right? But thankfully I've started to get out of the slump. and watching this video and reading all the comments of people experiencing the same thing have made me feel a bit more understood and relieved a part of my worries. So huge thank you to you and also to every other comments on here.
    i just want to say all of you that you all will surely get over the slump you are currently facing. No matter the amount of odds you are facing, you got this and you will definitely rise up victorious. Everyone, we are bound to be successful💪💪❤‍🩹❤‍🔥

    I actually went looking for this video coz honestly I'm starting to doubt whether I'll make it to my graduation😭
    All throughout primary and secondary school i was one of the 'smart' kids who didn't need to put in too much effort but uni is seriously humbling me.
    I'm in my 3rd yr and the smart girl exterior is slowly but surely cracking and despite trying my best it just isn't cutting it anymore.
    This coming year I'm hoping to really turn things around for myself coz i am done letting myself down!
    Clearly I'm not the pull-an-all-nighter girlie so disciplining myself into studying throughout the semester it is🙃
    Success and well wishes to anyone in the same boat as me we got this!!

      @@FayeBate Until the time is at hand, the same old warning must come forth: (THE M. O. T. B)
      masons try for generations to try and create too, what GOD has created, the human body from dust. So far they mange to only make a copy, (human cloning). The body may be manageable to create by the masons, but the most important part in this specific creation. Is the SPIRIT PART, Human Spirit comes only from GOD/CHRIST and not from the devil. The devil can make a clone aka empty vessel, and fill it whit the spirit of demon. = the outcome is not human, but a demon/evil spirit in body.
      With the MARK OF THE BEAST, the human SPIRIT shall be locked into a body which used to be flesh and blood, but now are more machine like. And since the machine aint aging nor getting sick = death never to arrive. To a human mind, it may 1st hand sound cool, that they no longer getting sick nor die, but in long run, the SPIRIT gets tired and wants to leave it`s vessel/body. Sadly unless GOD steps in and melts the body away, the SPIRIT shall never be freed.
      Revelation 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. This verse is about the souls, who took the MARK OF THE BEAST and no longer can die.
      Read carefully what this verse is saying.
      Revelation 19:20
      And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
      Revelation 13:17
      And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
      Revelation 14:9
      And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
      Revelation 14:11
      And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
      Don´t transform into machine, keep being HUMAN.

    I literally cannot believe I failed in physics (it's so embarrassing to even say it here, its my first time ever failing) and just got marks in chemistry and I got zero (I asked for a recheck i'm so frickin nervous)
    I really don't wanna cry and actually do smth about it and then I see this. lets hope I do it right this time
    edit. the teacher said the answer was correct but there was some silly mistake and strict checking so still zero :/
    but there's like another test next week and guess who's gonna try her best to ace?
    I will make 2023 my academic year. i just will.
    UPDATEEE : i got 20/20 in listening skills (me being the only one from my class B]) ANDDD I THINK I'LL GET ABOVE 4 IN CHEM THIS TIME LIKE I LITERALLY DIDNT SLEEP BUT WHATEVER (I got a 5.5!!! now i swear I'll work harder and get full in chemistry on this week's test)
    GUYS UPDATE!!!!
    I GOT 8.5 OUT OF 9 IN THE RECENT CHEMISTRY TEST AND 6.5/10 IN PHYSICS!!! (I know not the best but we getting thereee^^)
    update pt. 2 : so like i've always loved math and well, in the last two tests i got full score. my math final is the day after tomorrow (overmorrow i suppose?) and idk why i'm just not studying i think i am getting overconfident? idk my friend called me and was like you'll get good marks you always have even in the last tests you did great...but idk i feel like i'm getting some kind og god complex and i need help to change it and actually study idk how
    edit. physics exam in a few hours and i'm so scared i really hope it goes well
    UPDATE!!
    OH MY GOD ITS FINALLY THE RESULTS OF THIS ACADEMIC SESSION TOMORROW I'D BE LYING IF I SAID I'M NOT SCARED. I'M TERRIFIED ACTUALLY, ESPECIALLY FOR MY MUM I REALLY HOPE IT ALL GOES ALRIGHT LIKE I DO THINK (WANT) I'LL GET ABOVE 80 PERCENTAGE BUT AAARGGGHH I'M SCARED LETS HOPE FOR THE BEST
    so probably the last update,,
    but i got 82.16% in this grade. and i wouldve been happy like atleast my sleepless nights paid off but you know what? i got a freakin 18/30 in english practical (which includes the listening skills i was talking about + speaking skills) like i was so happy but for what?! to be disappointed? idk i'm really pissed and not very proud of myself i just...i just feel like i couldve been better if i tried harder
    but honestly, i'm not so sure anymore i really am not
    i thought i'd be happy but argh
    nevermind i got 18/20 💀💀 i'm just stupid
    LAST FR I SWEAR IM SO SORRY
    BUT I THINK ITS THE 2ND HIGHEST IN MY FREAKIN' CLASS ARGDKXHDKD
    also,,, 12th grade is hard it's the second day and I'm having a breakdown (tho it's for a completely different reason but connected :,])
    well no one asked but since i saw this again today i'm gonna update again until the finals hehe (i'm super nervous and this makes me feel accountable for some reason) and since a super kind person replied here which made me realise i had commented smth like this ajahsksj
    anyways. so i saw my marks today (the coincidence) and to say i need to work hard again in physics is an understatement but i will. i frickin' will. i got 34/70 (i know bad bad bad) it's not like i got really good marks in other subjects but still better than this so imma have to work hard this time

I hope I can improve and make myself proud in time for my GCSEs. every time I've applied to sixth forms I constantly get the horrible thought that I will never succeed and it's just tiring. I just want to prove to myself that I'm not wasted potential but it's so hard to do that when it's been all I've been feeling and all I've been told for the past 2 years. I just want to better myself but it's so hard sometimes. I honestly needed this and I genuinely bawled like a child at the end

    I’m trying to get into graduate entry med and that GAMSAT is kicking my ass lol. I keep trying, because trying is the only thing I can do. Thankfully, I did a lot better in my undergrad and got the grades I needed. Got diagnosed with ADHD midway through and that cleared a bunch of things up. Stopped comparing myself to others, and questioning why I couldn’t be like them, or do as much as they seem to do in a day, etc.

      Hey Isabella! I just want you to know that not getting consistent As at this point DOES NOT mean you can’t turn it around - smash the practice papers, focus on you weak spots, seek support from your teacher (even if they aren’t encouraging)

    I rarely sit through studying videos like this because they always seem so perfect, like they’ve never struggled or flopped even once. Your video really resonates with me. I am also doing A Levels, and despite doing well for my GCSEs, I’m struggling a lot right now. Everything feels like a total mess and I can’t keep anything together. I can’t help but keep comparing my current self to my younger self: have I became more stupid or more lazy? Am I worse than I was before? This video really got me to jump out of that thinking and to accept that despite flopping, this is still a part of me and part of growth and eventually, everything will be ok. You really made me feel hopeful for the future despite the mess I’m in right now. Thank you.

    this video was so heartwarming and helpful :') i was also one of those "smart" kids from primary to secondary until online school started and so did my igcses.. In Year 9 I'd get top if not the highest grades in maths tests and my math teacher suggested I take addmaths for IGCSEs, so i did. then started online school and i started struggling. I ended Year 10 with a B in maths and C in addmaths and i felt my world collapsing. i ended up dropping addmaths and took art instead, and did finish IGCSEs with some A*s, As, and mostly Bs thanks to the Blurting method and practice papers. But it got worse in A Levels. I had moved countries because of the pandemic and financial issues, and didn't go to a good school. It didn't help that most of my AS year was online but offline exams were back. Most of my class ended up failing their AS exams and I got a DEU (English Language, Biology, Maths) and it was one of the highest collection of AS grades throughout the year group lol. I fainted twice in school on results day cause I had already tried more study methods like flashcards, spaced repetition, even more practice tests and it made me feel exhausted. I felt that if I had put more effort I'd have burnt myself out. I realize now that mindset and positive thoughts could possibly help (i tend to panic before exams and forget everything). I also don't feel so alone now, thank you.

    Year 2 of uni, 2nd round of exams in biological sciences and I am living in the peak flop era. Burnout is at its max as i barely got to rest over Xmas and I have never been so unmotivated in my life. Exams are less than two weeks away and apart from feeling like I don’t know anything, I also don’t know how to revise anymore. However, this seems to happen at all my exams and somehow I get through okay. So I’m on a mission to watch a few more of your vids to motivate me for the final push (over the next 2 weeks) to stop being so scared and get on with it. So thanks for your vids, they really do help people 💗💗
