Girl let me tell you something. I was a mostly A student my whole life, honor roll from 1st grade to 12th EVERY SEMESTER, skipped 10th grade, graduated with honors. . .AND I'M JUST ABOUT TO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE IN MAY AT THE AGE OF 33! I could have gotten a full ride and had my doctorate by now. But hey. Life happens to the best of us. Be encouraged!
Tiffany G wow! Thank God for victory! Your story would be captivating to hear. I can totally relate with starting off well. Mine is still in the making
Tiffany G wow very inspiring. I just started going to college at the age of 30, sometimes I wish I would have started sooner because I could be good by now but like you said life happens to the best of us. Everyone's journey is different and I have to constantly remind myself of that.
Tiffany G Wow! It's crazy how similar our stories are... I just got my degree at the age of 33 as well! I got discouraged along the way but I had to finish for my sons that I had while I was in college. So encouraged to see someone else with a similar story! All the best to you and yours in 2017!
Tiffany Le'charn 👏
Tiffany G omg I needed this
I failed 2 semesters in a row and lost my financial aid. I had seriously considered suicide because I thought my life was over. I screwed around at parties and with girls more than I studied and did homework. Switched schools, got my financial aid back and after this first semester I'm sitting at a 4.0 gpa. Don't give up anyone :)
mike lambert advice pleeeaase. how did you get the motivation ?
Kyra Peters Idk if anyone can ever give you advice on how to get yourself motivated. I just looked at my future and saw that I would be poor, miserable, and terribly in debt if I failed school. I didn't want to give up and be a failure. Just find whatever drives you and focus on it. If you want to be in school and want to be successful, you'll find the drive one way or another. If you don't want to be in school and hate it, maybe school just isn't for you. And that's okay. Not everyone needs to be in college to live a happy, successful life. Just do you, because in the end, you're only trying to improve yourself one way or another.
mike lambert You Inspired Me..
mike lambert wow hun! that's beautifully amazing. congratulations too!!
Thank you so much for this! Did horrible this semester, and this really helped me.
I hate how something like education, something that's supposed to be a positive thing, something thats supposed to help YOU, can make you stress and feel like you did in the video (myself included). i feel like education should never give you these types of feels man. but thats the world we live in. I'm sending u lots of love girl. your expreession of feelings and passion gained you a new sub. xo
S. American education is so fucking confusing / complicating
complicated* you need more education
Chris Baptiste try Asian education
S. It's not the education itself the stresses people. It's more so the fact that they know they won't get a good job.
S. Shut the fuck up. If you can't take the heat then get out the kitchen, go study English or some shit.
The person that is scrolling down in the comments have a good day
Eryonna Richardson thx..😂
@Eryonna Richardson so sexy where can i find someone who looks like you?
Eryonna Richardson xD
Eryonna Richardson thxs ❤️❤️
Eryonna Richardson you just ruined this video
Getting an education should not be this stressful.
Janessa Schwarm but it is for some people, it's not as easy for everyone.
Teeny tiny Little life
oh girl I know haha it's not easy for me at all and I think that's not right. There's too much pressure. That's all I meant :)
Honestly it shouldn't!!! Which is why I left college it was seriously taking a toll on my mental and emotional health I couldn't take it
Christal williams yeah college is definitely not for everyone. Some people go, just to go and don't even know why they're going. They just end up stressed and with MAJOR debt. Society has made it such a big deal to go to college when it's so not necessary for everyone. There are so many things wrong the education system here in America. We definitely shouldn't take the opportunity we have to learn for granted, but there's no reason it should be THIS emotionally challenging for basically every student.
lovey agreed 👌🏽
I am very stressed because school nowadays is not about learning but about how to pass the tests
jeennii toorrees girl push through!
jeennii toorrees true. But if you learn and understand you CAN pass the tests.
David Cohen *remember* not learn
Timothy Little you can do that if you want but that's not gonna help you. I Ace all my test through understanding and logical thinking. Just study harder
we all had this mentality back in the days😂 no matter how much bs you make its gonna be like this. dont see why you waste your breath
I hate when parents put pressure on their kids to follow what society thinks is normal.
So true
luceymajor Well then deal with it. My parents put pressure on me all the time and i get very stressful, however, theres always a message in the back of my head saying that they are doing this to help you.
luceymajor my perspective on it , is that many people want to live that "classic rich life" where you graduate , go to college, get married and die with a genetically impossible husband or wife. for one I don't like how society brainwashed us with that lifestyle. Many of us are forced to go to college because our parents want us to go. You shouldn't go if you aren't desired to go just because your parents tell you to. If you want to not go to college and become a singer or do something else go DO IT. ITS NEVER TO LATE. Many of us say "I wish I could do that or blah blah" , but instead of wasting your time just go ahead try to find ways to find out what you really want to do or you want to do. {sorry for my rant it just pisses me off seeing how we are pressured into going into college}
luceymajor Parents don't try to put pressure but if they do they just want you to be successful in life
what are you saying kids are putting pressure on their parents what the fuck are you saying they have to pay the kids rent everyday like man
Girl, five extra months?! That's nothing, with all my major changes it took me 6.5 years! Good luck, you're not alone. Deciding to finish is huge!
OK!
Right. Average time for a bachelors degree is 6 years.
Took me 6 years to get my bachelors as well. At first I didn’t realize that not taking summer classes was setting me back longer. Also 2 major changes as well
This happens to young people all the time. When you're in your 20's you are still figuring things out. I have friends who couldn't finish college for different reasons. One of my friends got pregnant our sophomore year in college, had her son, and still graduated with honors. I barely made it through college because I mostly hung out with my friends and was lazy. I had to go to summer school. I only graduated with a 2.2 GPA. I was told by my professor that I would never get accepted into Grad school because my GPA was too low. Guess what? Five years later I was accepted into grad school and in 2014 I graduated with my masters with a 3.8 GPA. So just because we make mistakes doesn't mean we can't recover!! Sometimes it takes 5 or 6 years to graduate college and that's ok!! Do things at your own pace!! Good Luck!!
Ebony Episodes what was your process of getting into grad school with a low gpa? Thanks for sharing
Ebony Episodes this made me feel better...
BmoreFinest410 please share!!!
Ebony Episodes o
Ebony Episodes Thank you for this ❤
You're still graduating. You're NOT a failure! You didn't give up, you're still in school. You're NOT a failure! You persevered (that alone is an accomplishment). You're NOT a failure!
You're only 23! So, you fucked up a little bit. That is what being in your 20s is all about - ups and downs (life). You're going to have hiccups in life, so enjoy the ride.
Pick yourself up, and keep it moving - you did that and continuing doing it whenever you encounter something like this again. That is one of your many life lessons.
I was thinking that too. I forgot to mention that in my post. Exactly, she's doing better than most people her age. Lopi, don't worry yourself. You will. I believe in you and as long you believe in yourself anything and everything is possible.. :)
mscardioqueen yeah she really is! lol me and my friends are stuggling, most of my friends are in college plus I felt bad because I picked a trade school first along with being looked down on and I graduated this year from trade school and final got a job that pays pretty good so I can pay those loans =-=. I feel like we put college over everything but failed to see that it's so much pressure on young people because people feel like it determine whether you're worth everything or nothing. I want to go back to school for a 4 year for engineering but I'm scared of the dept and not being able to find a good job so I kinda planned work get all the experience I need then go to school.
@ MisBlackMutilation You felt bad for picking a trade school? Whaaaaat? Trade school/college/university - it makes no difference. As long as you choose to do something that you are passionate about then do it. Trade jobs pay well! I wish I could pick up a hammer, saw, or do welding, etc those jobs pay over 30$/hr - those are specialization jobs. I know people who do trade work, including my brother and he loves it. Me, on the other hand, I just don't have the patience. I would rather hire you. Not everyone can do it. I admire you more because you're a woman practicing a trade - in a man's domain. That is an excellent idea. Now your educated, you have experience and go into the working world and get real world experience and yes when you are ready go back to school and get your engineering degree. Nothing wrong with that!
mscardioqueen Thank you! :) I only felt bad because trade school are looked down on so much. I went for computer networking and support tech since my main field I want to be in is technology. Definitely right on the "mans field" nothing but men in my class only women in there! Passed on top and received the reward for my major. Even though I don't make 30/hr (I wish) for my first real job with only a couple day out of school I got a job starting at 17/hr full time and I'm praying I can handle it when I start!
mscardioqueen you make a lot of scene you're right she can make it you speak so positive about thing's you should be a motivated speakers cause your words will make anyone want to move on from one point to the next
Everything will be OK!!! I promise!
"This may be a sad chapter, but you are not a sad story"!!
It'll work out. Always does.
Kayla Santos I LOVEEE that!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Kayla Santos AMENNN. I NEEDED THISSSSS
Kayla Santos my new favorite quote 💜
Glad you all like it! ❤
thank you
I’m so scared for my future
Me too
Same =(
So am I
Same here I'm autistic and socially awkward and I wish i was the smart type of autistic because all my school life I've has Cs, Ds and Fs.
I’m doing worse now that school is online, I don’t know why :(
I'm 33 and I'm just getting the 4 year degree I started in 2002. 15 years with several breaks..... but I finally got it. God laughs at our plans. He has it planned for us so never give up. My granny told me "your degree won't say how long it took you to get it, it will just say you got it ". Live, Learn, and share your testimony.
JaNeal Thomas lol. Your granny is a wise woman.
God doesn’t laugh at plans
@JaNeal Thomas What is your 4 yr degree Major in I have to ask bro. Also did it help you?
JaNeal Thomas yesss thank God for granny
Tawana King do you think its too late for me?
Im 21 and dont know what career to go into
I have a very close friend who flunked out of college. He didn't tell his parents. He had a job (not related to his major) lined up across the country and left pretty soon after graduation (the school we went to will allow you to participate in the ceremony if you already registered to partake and you failed a class in your last semester). Usually, the school will mail the actual diploma to the permanent address of the student -- which 99% of the time is the house you grew up in, where your parents are. Since my friend had an older sibling that graduated from the same school, his parents began to wonder why they hadn't got the degree in the mail. They asked and my friend said he changed the permanent address so he'll be getting it. At one point, his mom told him to send him a picture of his degree and he very sloppily faked one on Microsoft Word and snapped a super blurry pic of it on his phone. She seemed to buy it. Even though not having a diploma wouldn't affect his life in anyway -- since the line of work he's in doesn't require any form of degree -- he decided to sneak in an online course 2 years later and complete the class he failed to get that diploma. When he finally got it in the mail, he worked his magic to very meticulously alter the date on the diploma to change it to the date when he should have graduated 2 years prior & then framed it. He gave it to his parents and they have it hung up on the wall none the wiser.
Nonya Biznnus 😂😂 are you being serious. He is one clever guy towards the end I actually thought he would get caught but he really didn't
that's hilarious
that's too much work lol
Nonya Biznnus holy shit that's a waste of time
I remember that feeling. I started to think of myself as a professional student. I started college in 2003 and didn't finally graduate until 2011; went to 3 different schools! I was a college hopper. I just couldn't get it together. It's during this time that you start discovering and thinking for yourself more than ever and sometimes we go down a rabbit hole. With strong hands, you can climb back out of it and get back on track. It led me to where I am today and I couldn't be happier with how my life turned out thus far. It's all a journey.
I have learned that embracing the journey is what gets you through. Thanks for checking me out :-)
poetictaiya I am so proud of you amazing!
thank you I needed that so true!!!
poetictaiya gurllllll this was my story before I graduated.
poetictaiya omg... that was my life. I started college in 2008, attended 3 universities and did 3 different courses, I'm finally graduating this coming April. Sometimes we think that nobody can understand our college struggles. There's a lot of blood, sweat and tears behind the damn degree. We are more than conquerors and in this war our W is guaranteed. 🙏🏾
Honey..... People rarely ever graduate in 4 years. It took me 10 years to get my degree. I was shamed...I paid out of pocket and watched my friends move on with their lives but I got my degree and moved on. I'm sure you will be fine. God bless
I really need to hear more from you because this feeling aint easy😭
It really isnt... I'm currently in college... I been in it for 10 years... I wanna quit so fucking bad..
@@Sunkhrist 💔💔 we are in the same boat
The same.
I really needed to see this comment, it’s never a race
I think the universe is trying to tell me that I better get my ass straight and pay attention in class and not give up....
lorena malaret ARMY!!!
lorena malaret And I think that the Universe is telling me to stay the hell away from Colleges cus they make useless people
lorena malaret same i swear ... I removed this from my feed and my bestfriend shared this today its fate
same im starting hs there is no room for error
Thank you for sharing the good news, Nathaly. God bless.
Reading the comments and watching this video breaks my heart.. truly. This is the reason why people hate school. They put way too much pressure on you and when you fail, you're assumed you won't do good in life. Especially when your parents are in on it too, giving you shit about it. It's not fair really.. it's just too much sometimes. I've thought about giving up so many times just because my mind simply stresses about school 24/7, even on days when I try to relax it's "oh did I forget to do something?" Or "please let me pass this test" and it's just horrible.. I hope things work out for all of you.
Courtney B yup
Courtney B thank you so much! ♥
righttt god and im only in 8th grade 😂
Courtney B frrr i feel you
Courtney B you just described me and I’m not the typical college student. I wish they make school free like in other countries. Scholarships is an undercover scam and so is fasfa
i'm graduating 6 years after some of my friends, you're not that far behind don't worry lol
You must have took a break I'm assuming
you can say that!
MasterReginald He's a super x6 senior
エックス girl I'm 26 and dropped out of a 2 yr community college when I was 21 bc I was a hot mess and addicted to drugs. I'm clean now but it's so embarrassing seeing all my peers BEEN graduated and I JUST am going back to get my associates lolol. but it's better late than never right? :)
meli mel it's not how you start it's how you finish
I almost killed myself because i can't graduate on my last year in college but thankfully my parents are so supportive
trying to get to 400 subs by tonight please help. have a great day.

grang grang 908 I just failed honors chemistry and I want to dieee not literally but I just can’t bare to see an f in my report card
Bethel Grace Olivares I’m glad you’re still here to work in your degree
Good to hear that it was a happy ending
It's not a race. I'm just realizing that myself now
DONT GIVE UP, this was me doing 4 years in nursing school I gave up my 3rd yet then got my shit together and FINISHED, you have a wonderful family who loves you & who are with you every step of the way. FINISH COLLEGE & FINISH STRONG
my 3rd year***
Ri' Perfection I'm trying to go to medical school ugh I'm scared but gotta remain positive
this is my 2nd year studying medicine, is so hard but imma make it.
ayo waddup I need inspiration 😩😩😩😩 from you I wanna go to medical school and be pre med in college I'm in highschool fml
1000 subscribers without a video!!! XOXO the absolute best advice I can give you is "IF POSSIBLE" do not work while you're in medical school, med school is so much different than any other major, med school needs your full attention you have to be absolutely dedicated this has to be something that you want because it's hard but I promise you will make it through. study hard, quiz yourself, most important do not be afraid to talk to your professors they are there to help you
your vulnerability is not being taken for granted babe. hoping only the best for you. SENDING YOU TONS OF LOVE BABE.
It's so hard to tell your parents that you are not graduating.
Lorrain Sandoval i just won’t do it, i will commit suicide or run away

Do not GIVE UP.
I just graduated this semester (dec.2016) and there was so many thing in the way that made me want to GIVE UP even in my last semester. But I push through . I was hospitalized in 2015 & the way I bounced back in 2016 is amazing. I am on my way to get my masters now.
I just found your channel. Don't give up. You have a story to tell.
Never too late!!! I am about to be 30 next month and just earned my bachelors earlier this month!
BriskyNipzMcPuffin87 Thats awesome!! Its never to late until you give up on yourself
HesNoz never ever!!!!!
HesNoz ikr
I am going to be 30 in 9 days and my last day of school for my associates is September 21, 2017
BriskyNipzMcPuffin87 Amen. i was 31 when I got my bachelors.
The pressure that parents put on us is insane. This is evidence to it. I'm the youngest of the family and everyone's hope is in me . We're young! We have time to make mistakes! This is life
You need to listen to your heart , not other people .
Schools is stressful enough, parents are just the cherry on top of it. Really doesn't help :/
@@annabella9378 right
Exactly I failed 7th because online class and I just couldn’t do it but I have a great mom and she wasn’t mad and she understood and now I’m about to finish summer school and pass 7th I was really behind on my summer school but I knew I couldn’t let her down and to say I did 8 hours worth of work today and now I’m all caught up and tomorrow I’m gonna do 2 last parts and I will be done and pass and it because of my mom I love her son much
I want to go out on my own making my own business, but my family's not too keen on that idea.
The oldest one always has to deal with a lot of pressure
may your future be as bright as your smile
Yea! 😀

School puts so much pressure on kids at such a young age, I was in class the other day and the whole class was failing because they gave up, everyone gave up, including me
School is literally a prison (I’m not trying to be funny)..... school is a prison where we work for 7 hours straight and even work at home (homework), when we get something WRONG the amount of pressure the teachers give us is horrible, they just expect to put your education in front of your mental health and that’s not right, it ain’t right ....
sadly you're right :( the school system really has to change. Most of the reasons why kids are depressed/sad/motivationless is because of s c h o o l
BevTv i’m guessing your probably too young or too old to understand then
I'm only 13 and I have the stress and anxiety of a college student, thats not ok or normal. I am so young but I am not even getting the chance to be a kid anymore. It's really taking over my life that hasn't even started.
I feel like actual shit rn cuz I’m failing one of my classes. I try to study, I try to understand what’s going on in that class but I genuinely don’t get it. I’m so disappointed in myself because I actually really want to do well cuz I’m in junior year and colleges look at the grades I have but ugh I actually can’t. Im going to cry lmaooo
:

: update; I passed the class 😭😭
Here come all the nerds talkin bout HaRD WoRk bringing lazyness into the mix
I don't usually subscribe to girls who are younger than me because I tend to be uninterested in whatever they are talking about, but I really like you! You have such a good head on your shoulders, and you seem like you're genuinely a good person. I wish you much success in whatever you do, and I'm looking forward to seeing your journey. Much love!
BUT, which dog was shittin on the carpet?!
... we may never know...

I think the little one. He/she was acting suspicious. Lol
UNIVERSE lol
admitting that you have failed and accepting is a success that will help you achieve more in the future. keep hat attitude girl and you will soar high. keep believing and keep striving for greatness. I salute you!!!!!
I've learned more on TH-cam and Internet than School.
We are on the same page here
Thats because everything is on the internet

*That’s
Learn your grammar guys, and stay in school. Peace out.
Fergboy Rossgerson stfu
Fergboy Rossgerson and this kids, is why we don’t go to school to become a grammar nazi.
I'm actually crying right now because you're crying. Now I realized that College is one of the most stressful,tearful,depressing and annoying time. I know you can do it. Godbless you Jennifer. By the way,I'm in highschool. Supporting you,Jennifer,Philippines.
sassymatazzy when did you graduate? Times have truly changed and that's why people think millennials are "lazy". No, things have just gotten worse. College is so much more expensive, the workload is much more difficult, the economy is worse, it's harder to get a job...etc. College was by far the most difficult time of my life and I'll probably be paying back my student loans until my own kids are in college. It's really a shame
Hanna Jose what grade u in
Hanna Jose I am a mother of 3 children and waiting the fourth one I started to go college 2014 and still didn't finish I hope to get my associate degree in 2019 hhhh I just gave up to go university because it's hard for me as a mother and house wife😀 all my professors told I am smart I can get bachelor or mastered degree but I don't listen them because I know my situation better. Education is very stressful and being a mother is more harder
It may be different for you but honestly for me also it's so stressful and depressing because of the pressure but I'm trying to push through it
Holy shit i feel bad for her. This really is not making me that enthusiastic about college
Adir Bibi don't freak out. college is very different for everyone. Everyone has different work ethic and how much they can handle and do. there's people who can get there degrees is 4 years and some who get them in 7 years. do what works for you
Adir Bibi omg same
Don't stress. College is pretty awesome and I go to one of the most difficult schools in the US. Everyone can make it through if you study something you're passionate about and actually do the work. Doing the work is the most important part, the school is not trying to set you up for failure.
Yeah it's awesome.. until the bill comes.
Pick a major that is practical and will earn you a decent income upon graduation. If you don't have the help of your parents or grants from the government, then go to a public school within your home state. Ta da problem solved.
I don't know how I ended up on your channel, but wow, I was sucked in by your strength. I know exactly how you feel. I'm rooting for you. This is just a minor set back, for a major comeback. You got this!
Reasons I won't go to college
1.) I'm stupid
2.) I'm poor
That's about it.
Bob Tuffingson financial aid is set for those who can’t afford paying for school tuition
Bob Tuffingson I’m in the same boat bro I want to go to aviation but my sat is crap I’m not very good at anything except a dual enrollment class I took so rn my only safe choices are emtb or military medic it be like that
If your bad at academics then don’t go to college. Go to community college or trade school better than dropping out with a ton of debt in the end.
You're not stupid just because you won't finish uni. I hate what this society is doing to us. Trust me,if you want, you can achieve much greater success that those who do go in college.
+ I’m lazy and you’ve got me.
Oh girl you are just a semester behind... This is NO problem lol I'm 21 in my senior year of college and I have watched people drop out, or take 7 years to get there undergraduate degree. Do it at YOUR OWN PACE. Do not live up to anyone expectations. Take care of you. You are an adult. We were all young and make mistakes. I think your parents were more upset because you took so long to tell them, but other than you are fine!! Graduate in May and start your life. I support you!! Be strong. You got it girl. Congrats on making it this far. Much blessings to come.
My parent where definitely more disappointed in the fact I took so long to come clean about my f-ups. I have made it a point to take responsibility for my actions and be nothing but honest with myself and others. Thank you for the love and support man !!
I didn't graduate on time and I know so many people who didn't graduate on time due to internships, study abroad, taking a break, changing majors or just playing games. As long as you finish and try to finish strong, that's all that matters.
You'll get through this girl. School isn't your entire life. This is just a phase.
Stay strong and give it your all
Amon Yao it basically is your entire life though... 😬
Amon Yao check my TH-cam channel
Ellie J4ne yeah no it's not. Once you've got your degree and have the job you wanted, you're good.
Subway Surfers no
You are better than me. I broke down crying because you had the courage to tell your parents. I’m in the same boat. I just turned 25 last month. I’ve switched schools 5 times and each time I would have to retake something that I had taken from the previous school, because the credit didn’t transfer.
I’ve been in college for 7 years now trying to finish my bachelors. I haven’t told my parents the situation I’m in and they think I’m in school but I’m not right now. I was on academic probation and then I got suspended for a semester and then I got suspended again for a year. They have such high expectation of me and I also have 4 younger siblings. I feel like I’ve failed myself and I’m a failure to my family.
My boyfriend knows my situation and a few close friends. They are very supportive and they encourage me to go back. This spring I will be able to enroll for classes again.
But I’m terrified guys. What if I fail again? I do study and ask questions. My major is mathematics. I’m not terrible at it. I do know there are others that are smarter than I am, and I love that because I usually go to them for help if I don’t understand the instructor.
I think I’m just not confident in myself. In high school I did so well, in community college I did very well too but when I started going to my university… I really don’t know. I do miss the professors from my previous university. They actually wanted to help and even when I showed then that I know nothing. They never made me feel less of myself.
My dad wants me to graduate before he retires and moves back to our country, and my mom she tells all her friends about me and she says all these nice things about her brilliant daughter. Every time she does that I always want to stop her from praising me because I don’t deserve it.
I’m sorry for such a long comment but I’ve been keeping this bottles up and after watching this, I felt like I should say something. I do need to tell them.
And guys, I literally have 4 classes that are preventing me from gradating. These 4 classes I keep failing. Number theory, Abstract algebra, Statistics/ probability & Math software and applications.
Each of those classes I have taken at least 2 times. I think 2 of them I have taken 3 times. I don’t get those classes. I’ve gone to study hall, I’ve had tutors, help from friends and the professor, Help from TH-cam and the internet, Self-study sessions. I don’t know why I fail those classes.
I want to graduate so badly, but I’m so scared. My younger siblings are in college as well and they have some struggles too. I feel so bad because how can I help them out when I can’t even help myself.
I just feel like I have dug large hole and I’m stuck in it.
Ifreke Thompson Oh, girl. I know that you've heard this, but DON'T GIVE UP. You are a beautiful person. Maybe it's the stress that you have that is making you feel bad. Don't listen to it. Work if you can talk to your mother about your situation, always struggling with stress and keeping everything to your mind it's not healthy. Talk to that specific person (your mom) to relief yourself. Your mind has to be in peace to work on what you want, love yourself. Sorry for the long comment. 😊
4 more classes. I know you tried a lot in the past. But please don't give up. Tomorrow is another day. This time might just be it. Keep talking with your teachers and other TAs and find out that other than stress what else is preventing you from doing well. You're not committing a crime, you just need a bit of time. Take a deep breath and carry on.
Ifreke Thompson gorl I’m 25 and a junior in college!! ❤️
Hi i hope you are better now pls pray and fast.. don't worry it a phase it will pass just pls keep on revising and don't forget life is in phases and men are in sizes so meaning life is turn by turn
you just sumed up my life except the 4 siblings I have one and I am doing Science.
This broke my heart and I know exactly how you feel .. I'm almost 25 and I'm starting all over again... do what your heart tells you don't listen to your parents don't worry about making anyone else proud but yourself . One life and it's your life and honestly school is not for everyone
After raising you and u knew ur parents wanted u to graduate school it is very important and it does matter... it’s a great way to say Thank You to them. You can get through this n know that the standards of college can be completed. Stay strong.

Wdym by " *don't listen to your parents like wtf* " !
T. Summers I don't think so. They want you to be successful and there are ways to be successful other than college.
@Bujun you know what since millennials are the most retarded generation I'm not all too shocked by what you said. Parents have no right to do everything for their offspring, parents have all the right to disown their children since time immemorial they have done exactly this and it makes biological sense considering by cutting yourself away from a self-destructive child is like cutting away a parasite. Parents have a responability only if that child is benefitting his parents. You are truly making no sense because for example if a child is in and out of prison is it really the parent's responasbility to still help out that grown man?
Am I happy that you have a mom like this. My mom would've slayed me over the phone and cut me off as being her daughter. I cried with you. So happy you are getting back on track and trying once again.
FlowerOfLove1994 what! That's so mean
The amount of response from this video is tremendous! I appreciate everyone that has taken time to comment and share their prayer, stories, and advice! Since uploading this video in October ( beginning of my semester) and getting this off my chest, I was able to actually focus and not worry about the lie I was harboring. This past semester I walked away with A's and B's and I am excited to continue my last college year strong!!
Please keep commenting as we all help one another and that's what this video is about.
Jennifer Lee good luck girl, you can do it!
Jennifer Lee Just keep in your mind dont give up and u can do I know u can GOOD LUCK u got this❤❤
Jennifer Lee just keep your head up high!! Don't worry about all of this mess!! Just relax yourself and just don't put to much stress on yourself!! Try to take your mind off of this terrible time! You will be a very successful girl!!!💚💙💜❤💛💛🖤you!
keep your head up beautiful, I'm not in college yet but trust me you'll get through it you can do it 💞❣
KEEP PUSHING! YOU'VE GOT THIS!
I am 45 and returning to college after leaving to have my last child . I just want to say thank you for your jewels of wisdom. I live in NYC and every few years there is a student that commits suicide from an ivy league college and it comes out that they were failing and he or she felted that they could talk to their parents about their struggles and sadly they felt they didn't have the support they needed. I thank you love, you just saved lives. You have great parents my oldest is going into the 12grade next september i will show her this video to open up the dialogue and not just about school. I have subscibed
Ms.Vanessa's New begining you aint look 45 that might be a compliment
Girl it took me 10 years to get my firs degree and another 2 years to get my Bachelor's. Don't worry....yan still do it. I even got a chance to study in England for a year and travel throughout Europe all paid for. I talk about it in my new book to help students over getting through school.
Hang in there.
Can you post a link to your book, I would love to read it!
+couldubeloved1 Absolutely. Thanks for your support. Check it out with this link:
www.amazon.com/Scholarship-Thief-Toi-Nichelle/dp/0978681762
+couldubeloved1 And just in case you have problems with the link just go to Amazon and type in my title: The Scholarship Thief.
+London Peach Awesome. Thank you so much for your support. Yes. In my book, I discuss the challenges of overcoming setbacks in undergrad, overcoming rejection, essay writing, getting recommendation letters etc. I also talk a bit about my journey and the things I did to turn my academic situation around. I even put a starter scholarship index in the back to get students starting to look at scholarship s and what to look for.
Yes. You can apply to your B.A. as I have. For Masters you can appply the techniques but as we know getting your Masters is a different ball game and each program is different.
Thank you so much for your support as I continue getting my book in the school systems.
Hope this helps
Toi
+Chris Thomson Hey. I just released my book, The Scholarship Thief, this August. I am a English Creative Writing Major. I have my A.A. and B.A. and currently pursuing my Master's. I'm in my early 30's. It's never too late.
Not even gonna lie she is slick scaring me about college. Is it really this stressful?
yeah
IDONTTAKEL'S It can be but just remember the real reason why you're there (to do work) and you will get by. Also , know when to take a break 🙂
Just go to every class and prioritize it over other things... Don't hang out with friends all the time. Focus on school and you will be fine. and Balance.
Thanks for the advice😁
it can be, but before u register for classes PLS look at rate my professor. That can totally help
The call starts at 7:30
thx U just saved me 7:29 of time
Ammar Tairi I look in the comments for things like this 😂
You the real M.V.P mane!!!
Ammar Tairi 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thanks a million
This is so common man. I myself studying for BIOLOGY degree, but I’m just not great at taking EXAMS , And I feel it’s taking so long just to get my Biology degree.
But I don’t care, I’m gonna do everything in my power to get there no matter what and keep PUSHING and not look back.
What job are you looking for after it?
I’m also majoring in biology
What job you getting?
kevin Rudd not sure yet l want to be a nutritionist but I’ll see what happens
Melanins0uls nice 👍
I just found this video and you've probably graduated by now but girl i started crying with you on this because i felt 100% the same way you did when you thought that you couldn't do school, i felt the exact same way in high school, in grade 10 i was so insanely stressed from school and my classes were extremely demanding and i just felt like i couldn't do it and i made the decision that i was dropping out of high school and i broke down to my mom and told her my decision (i have a single mother so no father situation) and i just felt like such a disappointment, but my mom convinced me to keep going and if i really wasn't happy we'd look into other ways of schooling. School for me by no means got easier, if anything it got so much harder but i think for me what made it bearable was the fact that it wasn't a secret anymore, i was able to actually tell my mom and my friends how i was feeling instead of bottling it up and pretending to be happy. Finished school last year with reasonable grades, i never studied my ass off, my goal wasn't to get straight A's or B's or anything my goal was just to finish, the fact that i had my certificate was much more substantial than what was on it for me personally and my mom understood that. Parents can be amazing sometimes.
I'm glad you got it off your chest, girl I'm a year and half behind but it'll get done, we got this !
heck yeah we got this! It really feels so good to move on
girl my 4-year degree is taking me like 7 years lmao its ok! College is definitely hard.
Cow Cow nah your just reeeaal stupid
Nah I just changed majors hehe also I'm exaggerating it's taking me 6 years lmao
Cow Cow why lie and say 7 then?
Anyone who's been in college can have a grasp as to why some ppl take longer. Everyone on this planet aren't living the same life. Atleast you're trying to do something with your life.
marshall Winston it wasn't a lie it was exaggerating 😑
I want to hug her so badly. She is stressed the hell out man. She needs a break.
I graduated from college two years ago and I can't even find a damn job. I've been at the same job for 4 years and all they require is a high school diploma. I get discouraged and sad a lot because I want more for myself. I've been looking for a career since before graduation.
Ms. Chocolate What did you get your degree in if I might ask?
Tiffany G BA Administration of Justice with a minor in Sociology
Do you want to do something in department if corrections? Like a probation officer? Are there many degree related positions where you live?
Ms. Chocolate At least you got job 😢 am scared for my future I don't even have one nor have I graduated from college yet , Mann it's hard just keep going hun 😊
Ms. Chocolate
I am sooo glad I came across your video. I am going through a similar situation. Sophomore year has been a tough one for me because I have lost all the motivation I had in order to finish strong. I knew I had the potential to do it but I just didn't put in the time and energy into what I needed to do. Tried to start off strong in the beginning of the semester then ended up failing a class due to a misunderstanding. From that point on I stopped showing up to all of my classes; I basically gave up. Now I have dropped out of the university I was in and now have to face the real world. I'm only 19 so it is okay for me to not have it all together now. I definitely have learned from this experience. I'm planning on going back to a 4 year college but not until I am ready. Bless you girl for sharing this. Things will get so much better for you! Much Love!
that first dog look guilty as helll!!!! lol
Arnold Martin .-.
Arnold Martin 😂
😂😂😂😂
Ikr! I’m like, “He did it!”
Girl... Let me tell you something... I'm 23 now, so this was probably 5-6 years ago, during my first year of college. I was so unbelievably depressed and stressed out right at the beginning of the year because my mom was in the hospital basically on her death bed... I quit going to classes about 2 months in. I had my boyfriend at the time picking me up an hr into my school days, every day... and then he would drop me at the hospital when I was supposed to be done school and I'd tell my mom that I'd gone to classes and whatnot. I still went occasionally and handed in assignments here and there but all of my tests and exams were pretty much all failed, and I knew that going into them. The day I got my letter saying I had failed all but two of my classes, I was absolutely devastated. Not because I had failed, but because I had to tell my mom about it. I told her that night when I went to visit her at the hospital. She didn't yell, she wasn't even mad. She took it as calmly as possible, I think because she understood what I was going through. Fast forward a few years, I have completed 2 programs, graduated both and am working a full time job. And believe it or not.. I have FULL intentions in going back to school within the next year or so. You can do it girl, you WILL do it. It will take time and motivation, but you'll get out of your funk. It will be okay 💖
Aww. That's sad!
somethingspecialxox u wrote a whole essay bruh
Bilhan Sium And your problem with that is what exactly? I didn't ask you to read it, nor do I need your input on how long I choose to make my comments... bruh.
Good luck with going back I to school. God bless you ❤
Brooke Thanks girl 😊 top of my list of resolutions for this year!! And God bless you as well 💖 I hope 2017 is amazing to you.
im 25 and im graduating in May this year ...its been a long journey i started school at 19! But , i didnt know what I wanted to do I switched major after major and transfered schools. . When its your time it will be your time ! Dont stress it! Keep your head up girl and do what YOU want. Best of luck .
Im a law student in germany and the regular time is 6,5 years. I will be 27 when I'm entering my first paid job so don't worry :)
Vergiss nicht das üppige Referendarsgehalt, das Du schon mit 25 verdienen wirst ;)
Hamburgs Perle oh echt? das wusste ich nicht dass man davon leben kann :) aber ich kann mich nur durch ein Stipendium über Wasser halten und muss das deswegen in der Regelstudienzeit schaffen
Milena C graduating in Germany is hard I feel you
here in texas it's 3 years or 4 years max for law school, but damn 5 - 6 years!
Bethanie steph 5-6 years is not that bad tho...
Ik ppl who started school at 18 and graduated at 22 or 23 and still are young.
Thank you for reminding me that change is decision, that success is an attitude, and so is failure. 💕
I'm putting this up in room if you don't mind
I'm glad I came across your video. I struggled my first semester of my first year of college and thought about dropping out but looking at your video makes me change my mind and makes me feel confident about pushing on and finishing college
Courtney Brown 🙌🙌💪
COURTNEY!!!! dont dropp out ! college is hard to get adjusted to however it is doable. Four years fly by and you hardly notice. You cannnnn dooo itt!!
I'm 21 rn, I spent 3 years in CC instead of 2, and I'm going to spend 2 years at UCLA so technically I'm graduating a whole year later than my graduating hs class of 2013. Everyone finishes at their own pace. One semester later is not bad at all! I'll be 23 when I graduate as well.
im on the same track. no shame! at least we will get it done!
LeSweetpea well that's the average at a CC is 3 years I'm guessing you came from SMC, it's all good , it's better to pass a class then take a bunch of classes and get C's on them ..
LeSweetpea oh hi I watch your videos 😂
Yeah this spring makes my third year at CC and I got all A's and B's. That's actually pretty normal because in order to get out in two years you'd either need to take 6 classes per semester for fall and spring or do 4 classes fall and spring and one summer course and one winter course,
Cynthia J Exactly one year longer or one semester later is not too bad! You only get to do college once~
the only failure is not trying. you tried! and you will try again if you really want to and will succeed!! don't give up
To anyone out there feeling tired of doing all these requirements reports and more stuff on your courses i know its hard but one day it'll pay off trust me take it from this Engineer that failed 2 semesters drop out for a whole year almost committed suicide yet after all the hard ships there just tests to see if you're ready for the real hardship of life and here i am doing my 5th or 6th project next week which was the house i promise my parents btw i'm a Civil and Mechanical Engineer :)
Sorry, I'm studying aerospace engineering at university, then hopefully a masters in mechanical. How can you be both a civil and mechanical engineer? They are completely different things.
I can't even watch this....😭😭😭......I'm already stressed out 🤦🏿♂️
sheckify1 me too. this is so embarassing😓
I literally didn’t watch it bro I have a do or die semester coming my back is against the wall but I know god is on my side and these gay ass papers will have to kill me first
Mood I'm currently failing a core class in high school and I need one more exam to graduate and I'm a senior :)
Hey heres a cure for that don't watch it then!
Science is not my subject and I need to pass one in order to graduate 🤦🏾♂️
thats how you know when u in the real trouble when yo parents say "I dont understand" and then get louder with you
Lol😂💀
Superman fr 😂
yup
Superman 😂😂😂
This made me shed tears cause this literally was me a year ago. Then that one day comes where you let go of all your burdens and get back on track, You can do it and I look forward to your graduation vlog. Stay strong❤️
Im a highschooler, my parents asked me abut every class each day, I told them to stop asking me because of stress and pressure and they kept doing it so i kept telling them to stop until finally they did. As soon as my parents stopped asking me my grades went up, dont let stress get the best of you.
blazrite a i can’t even tell my parents the truth when they ask about my grades
Just got my first 4.0 semester!
What’s your gpa?
blazrite a I’m trying to raise my 3.2 to a 4.1 in a year by taking AP classes and honors and getting As ! I’m faithful
@@tonyraw101 Hey, I have improved my gpa every single semester of high school. Colleges love to see growth! Put in the work and I promise you will see results!
I'm 50 and thought I would be graduating this spring, but the classes I need to graduate overlap each other, I will graduate this fall. I work full time and I am a walking zombie most of the time. Girl go back to school and work it out. My oldest son had. breakdown in college and now my youngest is in college and I'm SCARED for him, but to keep him strong, I tell him to look at me, I'm here with you. ( We attend the same college) Girl you can do it, your mom is great. Mom's just are.
Angie's Doing It wow so inspiring! im 26 and i will get my bachelor in 2018 and i feel so old. i hope all your dreams come true. its never too late
dua d I'm 25 & I know the feeling! I'm working on my bachelors
Girl, I JUST finally finished a degree I start over 10 years ago. While working, bills needing to be paid, and assignments still needing to be turned in on time, but I did. Now onward to grad school in the Fall. I'm in my 30s. You can do it ladies!!
Angie's Doing It 50!?! I watch your videos and you look 35😂
awwww hun don't worry we've all been there!! you will eventually graduate trust me!!
I hate seeing her cry it makes my heart sad i wish they can attend her i was crying a little i don't want her to be sad i want her too be happy and it is okay that she didn't attend i just wish they could cause so far so good she is doing good on her vlogs and i am proud of her don't worry things will be okay 💚💜💙💙
Right? I had to graduate a semester later than what was expected but everything was fine in the end :)
+Bryan Duhh thank you you finally get me
Your mom is is so supportive ! My mom would've kicked me out of the house
Real talk
Beatrice Rene same lol
same lmfao
Army !!!!!!!
wazupkid you definitely dropped out of school now you're dumb and not rich
I am an honors student but I've chosen to take time off from school because my parents basically chose my degree for me and I was expected to follow in my sister's footsteps with pretty much no say in the decision. I realized I have no idea what I would even do with my degree and that there was no passion. I worked so hard but was miserable and on anti depressants to cope with the stress and pressure so I'm taking time to find out what it is that I want for myself and what I'm passionate about. I realized you can't force yourself to pursue something you don't want just because society says that's what you're supposed to do to be "successful." I will create my own success.
Her momma took it wayyyy better than my mom would have. Lol
Star Light 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yes!!!!
If anyone out there thinks they can't do school you totally can do anything. For example my mother did really bad in high school and almost didn't graduate and got some random job out of high school. Now she is 50 and decided to go to college and just got her degree and had the highest grades in her class. Never give up and reach for your goals.
Your video kept coming up in my recommendations. Girl, I feel like we are all going through something and I'm glad you got to tell your Mum and get it off your chest. I hope and pray everything works out for you, keep on pushing, don't give up x
I just shared this w/my daughter (currently going through a rough time trying to earn her bachelor's). I think it helps her to hear that though you struggled, you made it!
can you believe that your mum even managed to motivate me. life can be hard but we will can manage. you will manage.do not stop beliving in yourself. I'm waiting for that graduation video in may. 😙
It's not like you're not graduating at all, just 5 months later. You still good ma.
Girl, don't you worry! It's a minor set back to your major gain. Please, go at your pace. Do not compare yourself to anyone. Just remember that no matter whatever you do from now, that you do not quit.
Gurlllll sorry to hear that....But am 25yrs changed my major 3x still trying to get that bachelors degree. Finally graduating may 2017 hopefully. Trust me at this point I don't give af just wanna be done. My African parents can't stand a child with no degree.
pam mus did you graduate?
pam mus did you graduate?
pam mus did you graduate?
boy this is tougher than listening to a 5 minute voicemail from your friend about why he doesn't have the money he owes you.. ..I would've been fucking hung up
Marc George 😂😂
Marc George yoooooooooo this is not okay 😭😭
Marc George , SIR . 😭😭 I cannot breathe omg.
For real. Put your grown up pants on and own your shit before it's too late.
Im dead lol!
girl you didn't fail.....its just not yet! you'll graduate :) keep your head up. God bless you
God is always with you. No matter what. But that doesn't mean that he doesn't have a plan for you because he does. He doesn't want you to graduate for a reason. So trust have faith in him and he'll lead the way.
its her own fault, not your imaginary friend "god's" plan, lets not be ridiculous
Seaphora If you don't believe in God, that's fine but you don't need to get on someone's else's post to negate what their saying.
vannah j i do
Seaphora You don't. You're not making any progress in whatever you're trying to do. Leave people alone to believe in what they choose.
leave me alone, i can say whatever i want
I cant just tell my parents
Im African and I'm living in Nigeria.,They would kill me.
I entered college 2015 at 15 years I felt I could do it.
Was studying political science and decided to drop without telling anyone not even my closest friend know.
it's been one lie after the other
In 2017a saving grace came
my parents decided that I should study law.
That was the only way for me to end the charade of lies
But till now haven't gotten the admission yet.
I heard the last admission list will be out by next week. and I pray for my name to be there if not I'm dead.
please guys help me pray and ask God for this admission.
What happened?
Did you get into law? 🙏🏾
African parents...sheeeii chaley u are dead. Before u open ur mouth to say "mom, dad I am not graduating n I am failing my classes..." Ur things are already packed in front of u to leave the house
God will grant you grace. It is well sis
Hello sis how are you doing and what happened?
so i see you're graduated now! go girl things happen. college is stressful and you will be a great person and will be great in the future
Girl, you need to know that failure is a part of success. Be strong and pray!
Girl let me tell you im 22 almost 23.. i graduated high school 2 years late! from there I went to college but during that me and my mom faced eviction and being homeless so i missed a lot of classes on top of that by the time we had a stable place the school year was over! I jst recently told my mom I failed it's all about how you turn it around baby girl👑 I'm going baby for spring semester to a security program to get my foot in the door💪🏾 trust me you got this😘 jst have faith❤️ I can't wait to see you make it bcuss i KNOW you are💖
Man this post hit home for me, seeing this post gives me that extra level up in my confidence. The fall semester ended up being a great one and through moderately hard work I was able, by the skin of teeth, to get A'S and B'S. You are the strong one and through adversity you have prevailed, your right the turnover is what counts, so lets make it count :-).
Precious Brown I had the same problem with almost being homeless. It set me back so much and on top of that, being the first of my family to go to college, I was ignorant to a lot of things (which has also contributed to my progress). Seeing this video, and reading comments like yours really encourages me to keep pushing forward, because having a BA is something I REALLY want! Good luck to you! and thank you!😊
Jennifer Lee I'm 32 and am just finishing my undergrad, headed for grad school. After highschool my parents put a crazy amount of pressure on me and I went to university for something I had no interest in and changed programs twice. I ended up going back to adult ed at 26 and got into the University I had originally intended on going to in another city. I was diagnosed with a learning disability and realized why I hadn't been successful before. I am passing my courses with A's and B's. You never know where life is going to take you, I'm glad you have supportive parents and that you have that strength to persevere. Keep working hard! Also to anyone thinking they are too old for school, take it from it and done let it be something you regret, just go for it!
queenzville what a nice thing to say and that's great you didn't give up cause your not a failure your so positive and blessed 😃
Karla Mendez this is the kind of word's some need when they think they have made a mess out of thing's I'm happy you decided to stay in school and keep on taking a challenge for yourself in the end you're going to accomplish everything you want because you have the your mind set up on what you want in life I am happy for you have a good one 😉
I saw this video when you first uploaded in 2016, my sophomore year, when i was depressed, suicidal, anxious etc. It is 2019. Still in a major i hate. Still suicidal. Still anxious. Still depressed. Im a senior that should be graduating and im not and i jus- like i dont have it in me. Literally, this is the universe because I didnt even go looking for this video. I appreciate this video more than you will ever know.
college is not for everybody
devonna malone Yeah only people who are willing to make an effort to have a good life lol.
JOLLY GAMERS college does not guarantee a good life. I have many friends who graduated from prestigious universities and make less money than me (a college drop out) and are in major debt, struggling to make ends meet. Education is obviously very important, but not having a degree doesn't stop you from having a good life.
+Angelica Villafane true that
Angelica Villafane sounds good if you think about it that way but if you look at it the other way it's super scary because you're basically telling me that even though I'm doing my a levels even though I'm going to university if I'm unlucky I still end up with no money and shit so why even bother
My dad didn't even go to high school and he's a successful business man
These comments i swear 😢😢😢😢. I thought i would be the only one in this kind of boat. I blamed myself. stuck in depression. You know how everyone keeps asking, " So when are you graduating"? That sort of question added to my depression and anxiety. Suicide was on mind 24/7. Experimented with knives ( i wont go into it). I saw a psychologist and a pastor.
Buuuuuttttt. I start school in March and hopefully its my last year. You know what, yes it is my last year, I believe in a living God. If i work hard and pray hard, he will not forsake me. I started doing accounting, failed miserably. Parents thought it would be good. I'm not good with maths. Like at all....😑.anyway i think i passed 4/8 units. Almost kicked out. repeated some and still failed one, twice. Decided to change to law. I am enjoying it. Yes it has added more time, and no i have not told my parents the real reason why i changed. I will tell them when i graduate. I'm not failing anymore. This past semester i got HD D and C. This is in Australia its like 80 and above HD, 75 to 80 D, 65 to 75 C. I honestly thank God. Next yr i would be doing 5 units in one semester 😲. Yeah im shocked too. Coz in the last yr we only do 3. But for me to graduate i need 10units. So 5 and 5. I know i can do it through the God that sustains me. My friend who started a yr after me finishes in the 1st semester nxt yr. Im scared of what my parents i gonna say then. But i need to focus on me. If anyone is going through what im going, lets just focus on ourselves and take breaks when you need it. Some people graduate at 21 and don't get a job at all and some graduate at 27 and get it. We have different fates and we may be on the same journey but our paths are completely different. 😊💜. Im so glad im not alone 😊
***** OMG!!!. Thank you soooooo much!!! I will pray for you too :) You are the best. You just made my day a lot better!!!!! :)
P.M.M ---Y'all absolutely are not alone..College life is stressful but the sacrifices is worth it in the end
P.M.M 🙌🙌🙌 you are 100% right and God doesn't sleep keep going and you will surely have the last laugh God bless you and thank you for sharing your story 😘😘
Ill Nyx the sacrafices ARE*
Thank you so much you guys. Your comments just make me feel a lot better!! :)
i'm in this funk too. losing motivation, wanting to drop out. you've inspired me. 💛

This semester, I failed/DEEPLY struggled in a class for the first time ever. It's hard dealing with it because I feel like it's too much. I've been avoiding looking at my grades but I'm not anymore. I WILL get better. Don't give up y'all
XOXO
Making me cry and all😩😭😭. Hope everything gets better love💕
Man that touched my heart because I've definitely been there. Im 21 right now but this year im turning 22 and I left college right when second semester of sophomore year started. I wasn't going to school for an entire year and some change, the only difference is my mom knew. I was so depressed, I couldn't sleep, I cried every single night, I just felt like it wasn't for me and I could no longer do it and live a lie. But, I am now back on track with school and I know its all gonna be ok for you. Your mom is just like mine.
What made you change your mind into going back to school when you initially thought it wasn't for you?
Its always been my dream to attend and graduate college. Even as a small child I knew without a doubt its something I wanted to do. Not just for myself but for my family and close friends as well. I would be the first in my immediate family to graduate as well.
Omorose Outkast I understand. With me, it's the opposite. I'm tired of being in college, I don't know why I'm here, and I'm miserable. Literally ALL of my family has gotten their bachelor's and graduate degrees. So for me to feel like I hate school and I don't want to get my bachelor's is a so called disgrace. I don't know what to do with myself. I just don't want to do anything.
Yeah I've definitely been there so I know the feeling...just don't give in if its something that you really want OR you can just take a break and not neccessarily quit altogether. That way if you do decide that you wanna go back, you can with no interruptions. Dont just leave like I did. Sometimes you just need a break. And with me, none of my other family members really understood the pressure and stress I endured dealing with college because none of them had ever been...you have family that completely understands your struggle I'm sure so be grateful for that resource to lean on and ask for support from w your feelings.
+Omorose Outkast is that your real pic you have up
Don't worry about it 😊. God is going to give you a second chance, take it and use it wisely. I got held back and it was the worst thing ever. Prove the people wrong prove yourself wrong and show others that you can achieve what you want to do.
It's honestly so sad how the american system is. Like don't the upper people realize that there is something wrong with the school system, when kids are crying themselves to sleep and feel so pressured and begging their parents to not make them go, that there is something wrong. Cause i know there is a way to make school enjoyable and still be able to learn, but no we practically feel trapped inside, and whenever we say something society just says "it's ok everyone goes through it". But no human should feel that way, school shouldn't have to weigh you down and pull on you mentally and emotionally. I know a person who almost killed themselves because of school, because they just weren't happy and it was making them emotionally damaged. That's not healthy. I'm going to 8th grade soon, and i honestly feel like i shouldn't be so scared as i am. It shouldn't be like this at all. It's horrible, and it needs to stop.
carolineee yah not just the American system, the whole fucking world
It is not just the American system is everywhere
The upper ppl were students too...
