@@JammKing-th7hl I agree to a degree but I much prefer other countries that skip a year before college to figure themselves out better. As well as this I really do recommend everyone have a second viable job they can do if they have time to learn the skills that way ur not permanently stuck with somthing. Obvious exceptions for Dr and lawyer due to not having time, resources, or money to do ANYTHING else for a long time
@@doimanator9999gap years should be a requirement. I never really had a chance to figure it out now I am job searching after I just got my bachelors degree and I still don’t know if this is what I want to do
@@JammKing-th7hlthere’s a difference between “why do people expect us to learn at 10” and “why am I expected to pick the path of what I’m gonna do post high school which will impact my life for multiple years to come when I’m only 16” going to school at 10 years old wasn’t even mentioned in the original comment, where did you get that from?
@adararelgnel2695 So what? Let not the fear of having no time restrict you, especially by age. Imagine being told it's too late for college because you're 23. Should already know what to do at 17. Too old to start dating because you're 30. Waste of time to seek an education at 50.
This song is not exactly the precedence of depression, it’s something similar, but quite different. It’s mostly because it focuses on the thoughts on what makes someone sad, or to wonder what makes themselves sad.
@@piligay6969They said it is “truly beautiful”. Why would something be beautiful if it is not special for the person that posted his opinion for everyone to see.
@@bennimarusama1047He never said that the music and the voice matches. He never said anything about the voice, simply the melody and harmony. He is just giving his opinion on an opinion.
I’m 22 but for years whenever someone asks me “where do you picture yourself in 5 years?” And my consistent answer has been “6 feet underground” which I obviously don’t say out loud and just say “I don’t know.” Edit: I’m honestly surprised to see the amount of respondes this got. It feels somewhat comforting to see other people sharing their experiences too, I appreciate the people who commented with their own experiences and those who also commented with suggestions :)
22 years old too and consistently having that exact experience/thought... I don't want to have to make plans for my future I just want to be okay for now...
@@FiveEyedRaven I'm 27, the experience doesn't really change, just add mild alcoholism and you can feel your parts wearing out like an overused roomba as you approach 30.
@terrancemuzic5157 Never forget about hope. It's okay to not know where you're going to go (honestly that can be exciting) but we need to hope and work for the future that the world has set for us.
Get help, please don't get to 30 before realizing that you will be here longer than you thought. Never having followed your dreams, or done the hard things that bring you to where you want to be. Where you really want to be of you have to still live this life. We all deserve better than that.
I'm 26 and I just started going back to school because of a free tuition program in Massachusetts for people 25 and older. But I think that college is not a measure of intelligence or success, i think i used to think that way when i failed out the first time. But everybody has their own paths to take in life, and there are still ways to be successful. Try to remember your worth and try to fight for your happiness, see where that can take you.
Same homie, I'm going back this year. I am 30. ITs never to late. I just started getting comfortable with myself, lost some relationships I needed to lose and gained some back I didn't know I wanted. I'm learning about myself. Still tired, anxious, ADHD and troubled. But I'm getting there. You will to. From another awkward 30 year old, song still describes me. But I'm working on it.
Imagine my surprised when I’m just scrolling TH-cam shorts for some quick laughs and I’m graced by one of the most beautiful singing voices I’ve ever heard.
"I try my best to try to try my best" "I tend to forget that I'm still quite young" This is two lines hit me so hard. They are so true and I relate to it so much :°(
I relate so hard to the "I don't like breaking rules but don't like doing as I'm told so I just float around..." like, I can't even begin to describe how much I relate to this, lol. IT'S SO CONFLICTING 😂🥲
Right? I feel it as, the rules suck and I hate following them, but I don't think breaking the rules would be worth it for the benefits I get out of it.
this is a song to tell you that even if you have struggles with keeping up with good education, and other aspects. People that are ACTUALLY doing well can’t really find the reason why they are. Those people think that they are struggling too.. which they are! And it goes on and on
I think you're totally right, I think I might be at the time of my life where everything is good 😊 that makes me happy but I also don't exactly know why and it's difficult to know to hat on day it'll end, but maybe not (I hope)
I'm doing quite well with my education but honestly I don't know what I wanna do when I grow up and I don't feel to pursue what I learned in college. And honestly I don't know what I'm gonna do. I don't have any talent except to study and getting good grade. I hope someone can help me 😔
I agree the only part I’m not relatable to is when she says I’ve got time that shit scares me I get anxiety attacks from thinking I’m running out of time
How do I relate to this so much? I’m only in high school right now. This is awesome. Edit: I’m only a freshman I am honestly scared of how this will escalate. I should probably stop taking all honors classes :/ I loved reading the replies! I think this is the first time my comment has ever gotten more than 7 likes lol
I remember that “I wake up feeling wired. I wake up feeling tired” feeling. The knowledge that I was so behind, no matter how hard I seemed to work. That I had a day full of classes, and then a night that would stretch until 2AM in the art building with my eyes burning and my hands caked in charcoal, ink, stinking of photo chemicals. And then I’d go to bed. And do it all over again.
Yeah bro, the vast majority of people take more than one class a day. That could mean two or three lectures in one day. Or, hear me out, it was just hyperbole for the purpose of describing how the person singing feels
You know this song just spoke to me in a spiritual level, i just dropped out of college and granted they were mad at me, and kept on asking to the point of nagging me, "what will I do if I won't go back to college" they say, I said to them, "I'll figure something out" and this song pretty much summed up all of the things that I did for the past 7 months.
"Everybody's telling me that i'm doing so well, i try to trust them honestly, i find it hard to tell" and "i tend to forget i'm still only quite young" are THE MOST RELATABLE LYRICS EVER!
I'm two days into Belgium, Building my defensive line. There's this guy let's call him Britain, He told me to move back past the rhine, He doesn't sit me quite right, But i just can't match his naval might, So I just keep thoughtlessly throwing soldiers at the French lines in the middle of the Night. I wake up under fire and I wake up really cold, And I wake up in the mire and see all my food has turned to mold. You see I don't like fighting france, But i must Obey as I have been told, So i just shoot around, Keep my Head down, And hope our lines will hold. And Austria keeps telling me that I'm doing so well, I try to belive him hobestly but it Is hard to tell. If I need guns or I need bombs, I try my best to remain calm, I tell my self, I say out loud, It's fine i will figure it all out. I tend to forghet my empire is quite young, In a way this war of mine has only just Begun, I have got time, I have got time. I'm two days into Belgium and I know i have crossed the line, Cause that guy that we called Britain is now an enemy of mine, My allies say I'm crazy that i took it way too far, France was secret friend with Russia now I'm in a two front war. Just two days into Belgium and my frontlines are a mess, There's so much land i want to rule that I have not ruled yet, There's so much lant i want to take and there's been so much death, Paris is so far away it's easy to forghet. Than all my useless allies think that I'm doing so well, I try to see it hobestly this war is a living hell. If i've done wrong, If i've done right, I need to rest after each fight. They said retreat, I said alright, I think I won't, Or maibye might. I probably should just take it slow, But battles rage and I must go. But one thing that's important above everything else, Is to learn not to trust Italy when the war drums start to swell. I try belive it when I say, If it's meant it happen I'll will happen anyway. I'll be fine, I've got time, I've got time. That's where i'm at, To be honest, Just two days, Two days Into Belgium.
As someone who recently graduated college, you absolutely nailed the feeling that surrounds you. Whether it’s the first day or your third year in you often just question if you’re doing the right thing or not.
Yeah epecially if you're going to apply to a super competitive grad school. You just meet someone super impressive, and think "That's one spot less", and then you hear everyone's doing what you're doing. I mean fuck, and everyone's saying you're doing good, but that means nothing at some point. Then you hear of some super crazy hacks that you missed out on. I mean fuck again, I know three people who got into top 15 colleges with mediocre applications through some stupid program and lying about their financial status. One person's parents had off-shore bank accounts. There's a famous story about it in China. Two students are duking it out in their college classes. One is barely 10th place while the other is 1st. 1st place gets everything he wants, grinds his ass in hard-to-get positions, and eventually gets a respectable job. 10th place comes back from an overseas program, gets a great internship, and is given a management role, bossing 1st place around. 10th place had their parents set their path while 1st had to fumble around himself.
For me, it's the third year. I feel like everyone around me seems to know what they're doing while I'm still just being irresponsible and unproductive.
@@bluyu no one knows what they’re doing and people that say that they do are faking it which has value as well. You’ll find your path, everyone does one way or another. It just takes time.
My dad always told me "You better enjoy your young days, later, life will punch you in the face hard. So leave your young days with no regrets. Don't worry about being called a weird kid, just be happy." He's a Great Dad. Rest in peace dad.
The depressing starts are played on such a lively keys almost as a way to mask it, and once the energy shift the keys are played emotionally that just emphasize the positive aspect of life. The composition is truly a masterpiece, thank you for sharing it with the world.
“ I tend to forget I’m still only quite young. ” This line is saving me so well from my anxiety and warms my heart that there is still ways to live, I’m not going to die because I failed my test.
Though brigging the realism that you might not llve another day, it's also unlikely that'll happen. It might but you gonna forget that. So really keep going doing what you can.
For someone who finds it very hard to cry, even at the worst of times. This brings a tear to my eye. Thank you for sharing your experience in such a profoundly beautiful way.
I’m not a cryer either but this did make my vision foggy for sure. I’m an adult but I’m a young one with almost no direction. Hard to figure this all out.
@@Tiredmiata twas not my intent. And thinking about it, it was a bad decision. I was only trying to make a statement saying I know what they felt because I have a similar situation
@@chr.ist.ian_v2517 i feel you, only real option is try some stuff you could possibly imagine doing through eg internships. If you're American don't go getting a massive loan to study something you're unsure you even like. Otherwise try, it can never hurt. It's the only way one can learn about oneself. I know I definitely found out about what I DON'T like and bit by bit you can start seeing a path, even if you're bound to "fail", it's not bad. You never really do, it's the best way to learn
WHY DOES THIS ENCAPSULATE MY SHORT COLLEGE EXPERIENCE SO WELL??? I had a semester of failure and stress and couldn't even afford the second semester, I was a mess for weeks.
Hope you are doing better now... I'll pray for you... (just so this reply doesn't start a war, the word PRAY implies wishing well and hoping for goodness, and doesn't necessarily need to be aimed at any particular god of any particular religion which might offend others)
@@naptime4foxy I don't know if you're in the US, but especially if not, think about whether planning for 1 year longer than 'normal' would be an option - that would have helped me a lot if I'd known
That line saying " I try my best, to try my best" hit hard. Sometimes, life in college can get overwhelming and it feels like you can only give everything 5%. You want to do your best and you know you can do better but it feels like your giving all you have. If you choose to push through it and really try your best (giving more than what you think you can), you'll get through it better than ever and have more confidence that you CAN do it. And this applies to life and not just college. Life can get tough, but we CAN do this!!!
I mean, when you have 20 things to do.. then five percent is the best you're going to be able to do. You wouldn't blame a child for being unable to lift 200 pounds, would you? No, if you needed them to, you'd have them do it five pounds at a time, and do some of it on different days. Even then, it seems that child should never have to do those things. Be gentle with yourself, but be firm.
Felt it hard. Turned 20 two weeks ago and it hit me harder than I thought. I know I’m not old but I just feel like things are going so fast and I’m still feeling scared about actually graduating
You have no idea how badly I needed this...I have been stressing over just starting college and trying to juggle work, life, social stuff, and family. The stuff that hit the hardest was the part about everyone telling me I'm doing fine. I feel that way all the time. Its like the worse kind of imposter syndrome
2 years out of highschool and I share all the same sentiments. We're trying our best, and figuring it out, one little step at a time. Would love to have the full song 🙏
Tips for college: - Do community college first, then transfer to a University later. Your first couple of years will all be general education classes and classes for your degree that are very basic and any school will have, so do them at a much cheaper community college before transferring to the school you actually want and the credits will transfer with you. - Take as many classes that start later in the day as you can. Whether you plan to party or not, you’re still gonna kick yourself for taking early classes - Learn as much about the campus before school starts as you can. Every school gives tours of campus for incoming students, take one. - If possible, don’t live on campus. Look for any rent listings nearby, students will almost certainly be renting out a house and need another roommate. It’ll be a lot cheaper than the cost of the room and board you’ll have to pay when you’re done with school. - Speaking of roommates, you won’t like having them at first. Roommates can and will be frustrating to you, even if they’re very nice and get along with you eventually you’ll get tired of living with them. That’s okay, and you aren’t a bad person for not wanting to live with them after a while, just hang in there and remember the good things about them to help. - Try to meet/talk to as many people as you can. This can be at parties, but also just at clubs or in class, in your dorm building, etc. Most schools now will even have a Discord channel or something similar that you can join, same for the clubs. - If you DO plan to party, make sure that somebody knows where you’re going, make sure you have a plan for a ride back, and don’t drink anything you didn’t watch get served to you. Always keep your cup against your chest, if they have a “candy bowl” (bowl full of random pills) please please PLEASE do not take from that. Doing some drugs can be fun, but please do them safely. - If you have chances to visit home, try not to take them often. You’re gonna miss home, a lot. You’re gonna feel like your childhood is over, like your life is over, like you’re never gonna get to be home again, but that’s what EVERYBODY goes through. I promise you aren’t the only one, the less you run back home over weekends or days off the better. The best way to fight that feeling is to let yourself enjoy being away, let yourself stay at school as much as you can. - Remember to take a breath and remember: you’re doing okay. Sometimes it’ll be fun, sometimes it’ll be stressful. But that’s just life, college is giving you a chance to start learning how to tackle adulthood without leaving you to the wolves, so when it’s getting hard or scary just remember that you can push through, it WILL be okay. - Look up as many of your books online as you can, because almost always there are ways to pirate them. And don’t feel bad for doing this, the university makes a bunch of money anyway. Sometimes you’ll get a tenured professor who’s cool and will straight up list the websites you can use for free books, otherwise just look online and you’ll find something. - If you can get a part time job, do. Looks good on a resume but more importantly it will get you the cash to buy gas and food, and often times the school itself will have work programs that make sure it doesn’t conflict with you schedule. - Go do the things you aren’t sure you’ll like, now is the time to find yourself. You never know if you actually might like something, and if you don’t you always have the power to leave. - Remember that things are almost never as good or as bad as they seem at the time. This has already been true and will continue to be true for your whole life, the bad times will seem like the worst and the good times will seem euphoric and better than anything. Just remember that like all of life, you will keep moving forward and these things will eventually pass. The breakup will pass, the bad grade will pass, the hangover will pass. Do not be afraid to live because you might go through bad times later, it is the bad times that give the good their meaning. You need both sunshine and rain for the flower of your life to grow. Edit: Okay, three things: 1. Yes, the first thing is very specific to the kind of major you want, try to find out what kind of classes you’ll need. 2. For many people college just isn’t worth it anymore, and that’s fine. You don’t have to go. 3. “Do drugs safely” -> Talking about weed and shrooms, gang. Don’t do hard drugs, but shit like that is common and very safe, safer than alcohol.
I agree with everything on this list, but me personally I wouldn’t recommend taking MANY classes in the daytime 🤕 you could possibly get overwhelmed, it’s best if you could do at least three classes at most OR even four (I’m taking three classes and everything is going very well😼🙏)
@@irjectjadeThat’s the final thing on the list I forgot to add: If you don’t think college is for you, that’s fine. You can learn basically anything and everything through the internet, for a lot of people that juice just isn’t worth the squeeze anymore. If you need time to decide, take it.
thank you I really appreciate this message ❤ as someone who's about to go into college later this year. this actually gives me a bit of hope! I hope to use this as a way to motivate myself to push forward! ^^
I agree with all but the first as a general rule. The experience and connections you make at a University are far more valuable than at community college and you should, if possible, not miss out on having/making those in the first couple of years. This applies double for STEM degrees (probably law and medicine, too, but those aren’t my experience), where extracurricular experience in teams and labs is invaluable to have even in the first two years. However, if you are daunted by University and want community college experience to get used to it, definitely makes sure the credits you are offered will transfer to your university of choice and that the course structure allows you to graduate on your intended schedule. For example, some course chains may take three years to complete that don’t have any comparable credits to your community classes.
The conflicting needs for autonomy and structure. Confidence backed by experience is a powerful thing. It helps you seize opportunities. You'll have to make life unfold on your own strength, if you're able to work independently within a structure (rules)! set by more experienced people.
“So I just float around and keep my head down, and hope my life unfolds. And everybody’s telling me that I’m doing so well. I try to trust them, honestly I find it hard to tell if I need work or I need rest. I try my best to try my best.” That’s so real 😭
I felt this in my soul. The power to make someone feel heard and seen should never be underestimated. Edit: never thought I would be one of these people who would thank people for a large amount a likes on my comment. Remember that most bad feelings can be relieved by having pleasant experiences with people. 😊
“I am 3 years into high school And I am stressed out of my mind I am filled with paranoia, depression and anxiety Scared of what the future holds Scared of what I am leaving behind Staying up pondering about the things that are holding me behind I wake up kinda dead, I wake up cursing life Go through the day on autopilot, go through the night in vain You see I am over conscious, but I try to lie it low So, I just float around and keep my head down and hope my life unfolds And everybody’s telling me that my life just began I try to trust the process, but seems perfection’s the goal If, this path’s right Need to survive I try my best To try my best I tell myself, I say out loud “It’s fine I’ll figure it all out” I tend to forget, there is much more to life In a way I don’t need to confirm to it all I’ll be fine It’s ok to live for yourself”
When I listened to those lines I've got time I almost cried and idk why it just made me feel like I'm just stressing myself out for nothing because I do in fact have time to learn things.
Starting college for the first time later this year. Ill be 26. People always acted like i was nuts for not immediately rushing off to college for something. I always told them i just wasnt ready to make that kind of serious decision yet. Don't feel rushed to pick something or do things that people insist you should. Take your time. Im very happy with where i am and actually looking forward to what ive set up for myself now. Im much more stable and able to do things on my own.
Turning 26 this year and just started college in Feb. I'm super glad I didn't jump into it from HS. Choosing to learn and being expected to learn has been a major change for me. I actually care about what I am doing now. I say take a break from school. Don't jump right into more school.
I'm almost 26 and was pushed into college after going through high school expecting not to survive into adulthood. I have no useful education nor a "career." I've traveled a lot and have a wife I love, so I gotta remind myself that living is the important thing.
I'm about to graduate from college with my first degree. I'm 31. There really is no right time to start or finish. Everyone is different and we all move at our own pace while trying to discover who we are.
Hey mate. I just wanted to say thanks for this comment. I'm 24, and I've been wanting to start college, but I got it in my head that I missed my window and that there's no point anymore. Examples like yours help me a lot to see that I'm wrong about that.
This really speaks to me deeply. I'm only a few weeks into college as a freshman and it's already stressing me out. My girlfriend also has lung cancer and has a surgery next week. Thank you for this. I'm now listening to this song on repeat.
This is beautiful. I'm sharing it with my youngest son. It took him a while to find what he wanted. He eventually got a job doing it and is in line for an apprenticeship, then 6 months ago he got a head injury. They love him, so have kept his job open, but it will put the apprenticeship off. He's 25 next month. We've encouraged him that life is going just fine for him, just as it should. It's helped him relax a lot, but I think he'll appreciate this.
I started college at 25 years old.. was the only person in my friend group to do so.. at 29 I got my first job as a teacher.. and it truly feels like a career I can live with. I'm 34 going on to 35, and I'm really good at my job it feels amazing, and I know my path was so different than anyone else's, but I wouldn't change a thing.
I don’t know if anyone NEEDS to hear this, but the line in this song “everybody is telling me that I’m doing so well” is really just screaming imposter syndrome and as a 3rd year pharmacy student I’ve heard it and felt it as have all of my classmates I’m SURE. But, before I was a pharmacy student, I was a hopeful med student, and it didn’t pan out and it crushed me. Before that I was a masters student, and I failed a few tests and it felt like the end of the world. Before that there was undergrad and I was devastated when I wasn’t able to do what other classmates did and go into their professional school after just 4 years. I felt like I had failed, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. And it sucked. But… Here I am, I’m on my way to doing SOMETHING I don’t know the plan to be honest. But I have friends and a fiancé and everything is working out. So, please, if you will listen to any word of advice, we mean it when we, your family friends and TH-cam Randos say you’re doing JUST FINE. You’ll BE OK! If you must, go ahead and beat yourself up all you want for you slip-up, but then you need to just dust yourself off and just keep going, and it’ll pan out. If it did for me, it WILL for you :) and good luck!
This kind lady broke into my mind as a college student, pulled out her camera, snapped some videos, and made it into a short! I am very pleased to see someone who can relate so much!
I am also a music major and this all reminded me what it felt to be a freshman piano performance major. It's a major, exhausting, and traumatic experience but it's absolutely worth every second. Learning how to manage my passion while also caring for my own needs has made not only my passion but the entire world so much more beautiful. We all need to remember to be human before being a musician.

Pretty much the same, not quite that badly, but it's kind of crazy that an average person won't retire until about 65, and by that point most of your life is effectively gone, the best years are at least, from what I understand, I'm not even nearly 65
@monochrome3003 nah you have got time just don't repeat same mistakes. I have seen few 30+ people rebuild their life and succeeding. I myself wasted 2y after dropping out of uni without telling my parents (when i was 20). I thought i would just end my life when they find out but couldn't do it when they found out. They still wanted to support me to get out of it. seeing them crying for hours after finding out that i was about to end my life made me realize that nothing is more important than keeping them happy (not by lying). I am 23 now. I know i am 2 years behind but i an glad that i am on right path
“I try my best to try my best,” is such a thought inspiring lyric, and honestly the same can be said for this song. March of my second year at Michigan State, I understand the feeling. Well done! Hang in there
I am dying cause I can relate so much to "Everybody's telling me that I'm doing so well. I try to trust them honestly, I find it hard to tell." there's always such a good feeling when you find a song that relates so fricking much to you. I'm about to enter college and I'm so afraid. and it's good to know that I'm not in this alone.
Having been through it already. And gone to grad....do YOUR best. It's not about what you achieved, it's about being able to look back on it and say you honestly tried as hard as you could. That's how you make sure you lack regrets. I did a lot of things. Some panned out, some where dead ends. My health got bad later and some stuff I had been working on was suddenly not an option. So much changes over time. But I can look at my actions with pride and say, I always did the best I could. And when I didn't, I learned from it and grew as a person. You can do it. ^_^
it's been the exact oposite for me. when I was in school my family always thought I would not amount to anything. I've proved them wrong by being sucessful and now even after not being in school anymore I still take a some of my time to learn new skills that I never would've thought of even WANTING to learn.
More kids need to hear this. I didn't go back to college until my 30s, when the kids were older and could not burn the house down if we were both gone for a bit. It worked out. It's never _easy_ but the real trick is to set little goals _and keep moving, one step at a time._
@@Palafico3How so? I understand that not ALL wants come true. But most do, don't they? You want to play the piano? Get lessons. You want to work as a "___insert your dream job____" get an education! You want kids? You want a home and a dog? You want to travel abroad? There are always ways to make that happen. In most countries, these are totally normal wishes that for most people come true. But the thing about adulthood is, that some things can only come true if you are willing to handle the consequences they bring: Babies? Long sleepless nights. A house? Better adjust your dreams to what is possible for you. Travel the world? Well maybe work during your stay in, say, Istanbul. But this is off topic. The video is about the crippling insecurity that most have around their twenties. And luckily, unless you f*ck up bad (drug abuse, prison etc) you will find your way for sure. :-)
@@mistapoli I know that phenomenon. Not surprising, if we are bombarded with requests from all sides all the time (parents, teachers, friends, our children, partners, jobs, commercials, etc)I myself had a long struggle with that. But psychotherapy helps a lot (it surely helped me) to find your own will again. If you do not want to do therapy, it also helps to actively ask yourself every time a bigger decision is requested from you, "do I actually want this?". Or once in a while in everyday life just ask yourself "What do I want?". First you might not get an answer, but little by little some answer will come. Therapy is faster, though. Also, you might lose some friends in the process (bc some people just like you bc you do not question their decisions or have "no own will" and are easy to convince),. But you will find better friends who respect your will and would not just fire requests at you. It's a long and winding road... I hope for you that you will find that inner voice and have the courage to live according to it (because that is a whole other level, too). I managed after many years and now have the job I want (my passion. Little money but a joyful job), a happy family (not perfect, but happy) and I am so happy with my life and the people I share it with :-).
I’m about to turn 30, and this actually brings a tear to my eye. Because on the one hand, life does get better, but it also gets harder, the difference is that you’ll have your past experiences to inform you on how to make better decisions. That you might sleep more when you’re older though…well, I don’t think I’ve slept worse this year than I ever have in 29 years of existence, because of stress. But I don’t despair because I know I have what it takes to keep going, because I’ve already pulled through tough times before.
@tony757 30 likes cause your about to turn 30. 🎉. To be honest with you I am only 15 so your double my age. But it will get better, that’s what every old person says. And one thing you should always do is spend time with your family. Cause that’s the only thing you have left. At least while there with you unlike mine. But I guess that’s just life you keep have to keep pushing yourself though it even if it does get tuff. You got this!
Holy crap - I'm 32, I haven't been in college for years! And it's more than a decade since I had my first days, but this resonated with me SO hard. You made an old farts heart sing, so hard you made me cry today. You have a true gift.
The artist goes by Aimee Carty, she has really beautiful songs that are actually quite sad 😢. This girl has lived a lot of life for being 20 years old..
The chords and vocals l are perfectly everywhere, loved the monotone in the 'I try my best' phase setting the tone perfectly. You hear the power of of voice and setting really matching, also with singing 'wired'. This song is beautiful, catchy, relatable and you can hear/see the humor for a bit. Genius!
I feel like everything about this is accurate, axcept the part where "i just sleep in when i'm old"... More than a decade out of university, and i'm still struggling to get that sweet sweet "i got enough sleep" feeling 😢 Edit: for spelling mistake
Crazy thing to say but this song helped me dropped out of university, having a job, and now redoing studies but for something i actually want to do, not something people told me i was kinda good at So thank you for this song

@@JammKing-th7hl I agree to a degree but I much prefer other countries that skip a year before college to figure themselves out better. As well as this I really do recommend everyone have a second viable job they can do if they have time to learn the skills that way ur not permanently stuck with somthing. Obvious exceptions for Dr and lawyer due to not having time, resources, or money to do ANYTHING else for a long time

I love this so much!!
BRITISH PERSON SPOTTED!
I like how the song starts off kinda depressing but ends on a hopeful note that there's still so much time left
Except there's not. You could die tomorrow for all anyone knows. Why do tomorrow what you can do today?
@@adararelgnel2695wrong
@adararelgnel2695 So what? Let not the fear of having no time restrict you, especially by age.
Imagine being told it's too late for college because you're 23. Should already know what to do at 17. Too old to start dating because you're 30. Waste of time to seek an education at 50.
only to realize that that time will continue to slip by until you realize it’s too late
This song is not exactly the precedence of depression, it’s something similar, but quite different.
It’s mostly because it focuses on the thoughts on what makes someone sad, or to wonder what makes themselves sad.
The melody and harmony sounds so well, truly beautiful
its a I - V - vi - IV progression with a couple passing chords its nothing special
@@stanleychingwho said it was special sis? They are just giving an opinion
@@stanleyching hes saying the voice and the music matches so well it's heart soothing so it's just an opinion so don't judge

(❤️ if you want part 2)
That was amazing it’s like you just song my last story, 😮

Please
I relate so much
I’m 22 but for years whenever someone asks me “where do you picture yourself in 5 years?” And my consistent answer has been “6 feet underground” which I obviously don’t say out loud and just say “I don’t know.”
Edit: I’m honestly surprised to see the amount of respondes this got. It feels somewhat comforting to see other people sharing their experiences too, I appreciate the people who commented with their own experiences and those who also commented with suggestions :)
22 years old too and consistently having that exact experience/thought...
I don't want to have to make plans for my future I just want to be okay for now...
@@FiveEyedRaven I'm 27, the experience doesn't really change, just add mild alcoholism and you can feel your parts wearing out like an overused roomba as you approach 30.
@terrancemuzic5157 Never forget about hope. It's okay to not know where you're going to go (honestly that can be exciting) but we need to hope and work for the future that the world has set for us.
Get help, please don't get to 30 before realizing that you will be here longer than you thought. Never having followed your dreams, or done the hard things that bring you to where you want to be. Where you really want to be of you have to still live this life. We all deserve better than that.
23 here and I feel the same way ahhh
I'm months away from 30, long since failed out of college, and it hurts how strongly this still describes my day to day feelings
Awwwwwwwwwww. I hope you feel better soon I feel you I've been there too got through it though.
Think you want to go back?
Felt this deeply.
I'm 26 and I just started going back to school because of a free tuition program in Massachusetts for people 25 and older. But I think that college is not a measure of intelligence or success, i think i used to think that way when i failed out the first time. But everybody has their own paths to take in life, and there are still ways to be successful. Try to remember your worth and try to fight for your happiness, see where that can take you.
Same homie, I'm going back this year. I am 30. ITs never to late. I just started getting comfortable with myself, lost some relationships I needed to lose and gained some back I didn't know I wanted. I'm learning about myself. Still tired, anxious, ADHD and troubled. But I'm getting there. You will to. From another awkward 30 year old, song still describes me. But I'm working on it.

As a metalhead, this is actually beautiful. Got me teary eyed.
this is a song to tell you that even if you have struggles with keeping up with good education, and other aspects. People that are ACTUALLY doing well can’t really find the reason why they are. Those people think that they are struggling too.. which they are! And it goes on and on
I think you're totally right, I think I might be at the time of my life where everything is good 😊 that makes me happy but I also don't exactly know why and it's difficult to know to hat on day it'll end, but maybe not (I hope)
Why u describing me? Im a first year college but idk how im pulling through lmao
I'm doing quite well with my education but honestly I don't know what I wanna do when I grow up and I don't feel to pursue what I learned in college. And honestly I don't know what I'm gonna do. I don't have any talent except to study and getting good grade. I hope someone can help me 😔
You do know 15 year olds used to go over seas to war I think people have been pretty spoiled.

TYSM for animating this song!!
She made a follow up like 10 years later recently.
I remember that “I wake up feeling wired. I wake up feeling tired” feeling. The knowledge that I was so behind, no matter how hard I seemed to work. That I had a day full of classes, and then a night that would stretch until 2AM in the art building with my eyes burning and my hands caked in charcoal, ink, stinking of photo chemicals.
And then I’d go to bed. And do it all over again.
It's okay just stay determined❤
thats it, that part. and then i wake up and do it all over again. the monotony of life really, really gets me sometimes.
Don't mean to be that person buuuuuut

You know this song just spoke to me in a spiritual level, i just dropped out of college and granted they were mad at me, and kept on asking to the point of nagging me, "what will I do if I won't go back to college" they say, I said to them, "I'll figure something out" and this song pretty much summed up all of the things that I did for the past 7 months.
People are too busy relating to the song to also appreciate this gem of an animation.

I'm two days into Belgium,
Building my defensive line.
There's this guy let's call him Britain,
He told me to move back past the rhine,
He doesn't sit me quite right,
But i just can't match his naval might,
So I just keep thoughtlessly throwing soldiers at the French lines in the middle of the Night.
I wake up under fire and I wake up really cold,
And I wake up in the mire and see all my food has turned to mold.
You see I don't like fighting france,
But i must Obey as I have been told,
So i just shoot around,
Keep my Head down,
And hope our lines will hold.
And Austria keeps telling me that I'm doing so well,
I try to belive him hobestly but it Is hard to tell.
If I need guns or I need bombs,
I try my best to remain calm,
I tell my self,
I say out loud,
It's fine i will figure it all out.
I tend to forghet my empire is quite young,
In a way this war of mine has only just Begun,
I have got time,
I have got time.
I'm two days into Belgium and I know i have crossed the line,
Cause that guy that we called Britain is now an enemy of mine,
My allies say I'm crazy that i took it way too far,
France was secret friend with Russia now I'm in a two front war.
Just two days into Belgium and my frontlines are a mess,
There's so much land i want to rule that I have not ruled yet,
There's so much lant i want to take and there's been so much death,
Paris is so far away it's easy to forghet.
Than all my useless allies think that I'm doing so well,
I try to see it hobestly this war is a living hell.
If i've done wrong,
If i've done right,
I need to rest after each fight.
They said retreat,
I said alright,
I think I won't,
Or maibye might.
I probably should just take it slow,
But battles rage and I must go.
But one thing that's important above everything else,
Is to learn not to trust Italy when the war drums start to swell.
I try belive it when I say,
If it's meant it happen I'll will happen anyway.
I'll be fine,
I've got time,
I've got time.
That's where i'm at,
To be honest,
Just two days,
Two days
Into Belgium.
As someone who recently graduated college, you absolutely nailed the feeling that surrounds you. Whether it’s the first day or your third year in you often just question if you’re doing the right thing or not.
Yeah epecially if you're going to apply to a super competitive grad school. You just meet someone super impressive, and think "That's one spot less", and then you hear everyone's doing what you're doing. I mean fuck, and everyone's saying you're doing good, but that means nothing at some point. Then you hear of some super crazy hacks that you missed out on. I mean fuck again, I know three people who got into top 15 colleges with mediocre applications through some stupid program and lying about their financial status. One person's parents had off-shore bank accounts. There's a famous story about it in China.
Two students are duking it out in their college classes. One is barely 10th place while the other is 1st. 1st place gets everything he wants, grinds his ass in hard-to-get positions, and eventually gets a respectable job. 10th place comes back from an overseas program, gets a great internship, and is given a management role, bossing 1st place around. 10th place had their parents set their path while 1st had to fumble around himself.
i’m in grade six hearing this makes me wish the future would be slower 😢 @@ethanchen4504

@@naptime4foxy I don't know if you're in the US, but especially if not, think about whether planning for 1 year longer than 'normal' would be an option - that would have helped me a lot if I'd known
you got this! Just do your best, and when things get tough, then vent all you need. you deserve it.
Simple, because you're not special just because you had a hard life
That line saying " I try my best, to try my best" hit hard. Sometimes, life in college can get overwhelming and it feels like you can only give everything 5%. You want to do your best and you know you can do better but it feels like your giving all you have.
If you choose to push through it and really try your best (giving more than what you think you can), you'll get through it better than ever and have more confidence that you CAN do it. And this applies to life and not just college.
Life can get tough, but we CAN do this!!!
I mean, when you have 20 things to do.. then five percent is the best you're going to be able to do. You wouldn't blame a child for being unable to lift 200 pounds, would you? No, if you needed them to, you'd have them do it five pounds at a time, and do some of it on different days. Even then, it seems that child should never have to do those things.
Be gentle with yourself, but be firm.
Thanks for that
😮💨 well back to the grind then 🫠☕🌄
Just fixing it, its "I try my best, to try my best"
Felt it hard. Turned 20 two weeks ago and it hit me harder than I thought. I know I’m not old but I just feel like things are going so fast and I’m still feeling scared about actually graduating
You have no idea how badly I needed this...I have been stressing over just starting college and trying to juggle work, life, social stuff, and family.
The stuff that hit the hardest was the part about everyone telling me I'm doing fine. I feel that way all the time. Its like the worse kind of imposter syndrome
Bro, the behind lectures and being locked out of ur room part is so relatable 😂
Haw
2 years out of highschool and I share all the same sentiments. We're trying our best, and figuring it out, one little step at a time. Would love to have the full song 🙏
The full song is called “two days into college”
Tips for college:
- Do community college first, then transfer to a University later. Your first couple of years will all be general education classes and classes for your degree that are very basic and any school will have, so do them at a much cheaper community college before transferring to the school you actually want and the credits will transfer with you.
- Take as many classes that start later in the day as you can. Whether you plan to party or not, you’re still gonna kick yourself for taking early classes
- Learn as much about the campus before school starts as you can. Every school gives tours of campus for incoming students, take one.
- If possible, don’t live on campus. Look for any rent listings nearby, students will almost certainly be renting out a house and need another roommate. It’ll be a lot cheaper than the cost of the room and board you’ll have to pay when you’re done with school.
- Speaking of roommates, you won’t like having them at first. Roommates can and will be frustrating to you, even if they’re very nice and get along with you eventually you’ll get tired of living with them. That’s okay, and you aren’t a bad person for not wanting to live with them after a while, just hang in there and remember the good things about them to help.
- Try to meet/talk to as many people as you can. This can be at parties, but also just at clubs or in class, in your dorm building, etc. Most schools now will even have a Discord channel or something similar that you can join, same for the clubs.
- If you DO plan to party, make sure that somebody knows where you’re going, make sure you have a plan for a ride back, and don’t drink anything you didn’t watch get served to you. Always keep your cup against your chest, if they have a “candy bowl” (bowl full of random pills) please please PLEASE do not take from that. Doing some drugs can be fun, but please do them safely.
- If you have chances to visit home, try not to take them often. You’re gonna miss home, a lot. You’re gonna feel like your childhood is over, like your life is over, like you’re never gonna get to be home again, but that’s what EVERYBODY goes through. I promise you aren’t the only one, the less you run back home over weekends or days off the better. The best way to fight that feeling is to let yourself enjoy being away, let yourself stay at school as much as you can.
- Remember to take a breath and remember: you’re doing okay. Sometimes it’ll be fun, sometimes it’ll be stressful. But that’s just life, college is giving you a chance to start learning how to tackle adulthood without leaving you to the wolves, so when it’s getting hard or scary just remember that you can push through, it WILL be okay.
- Look up as many of your books online as you can, because almost always there are ways to pirate them. And don’t feel bad for doing this, the university makes a bunch of money anyway. Sometimes you’ll get a tenured professor who’s cool and will straight up list the websites you can use for free books, otherwise just look online and you’ll find something.
- If you can get a part time job, do. Looks good on a resume but more importantly it will get you the cash to buy gas and food, and often times the school itself will have work programs that make sure it doesn’t conflict with you schedule.
- Go do the things you aren’t sure you’ll like, now is the time to find yourself. You never know if you actually might like something, and if you don’t you always have the power to leave.
- Remember that things are almost never as good or as bad as they seem at the time. This has already been true and will continue to be true for your whole life, the bad times will seem like the worst and the good times will seem euphoric and better than anything. Just remember that like all of life, you will keep moving forward and these things will eventually pass. The breakup will pass, the bad grade will pass, the hangover will pass. Do not be afraid to live because you might go through bad times later, it is the bad times that give the good their meaning. You need both sunshine and rain for the flower of your life to grow.
Edit: Okay, three things: 1. Yes, the first thing is very specific to the kind of major you want, try to find out what kind of classes you’ll need. 2. For many people college just isn’t worth it anymore, and that’s fine. You don’t have to go. 3. “Do drugs safely” -> Talking about weed and shrooms, gang. Don’t do hard drugs, but shit like that is common and very safe, safer than alcohol.
Woah, Definitely using this if I ever go to college.
I agree with everything on this list, but me personally I wouldn’t recommend taking MANY classes in the daytime 🤕 you could possibly get overwhelmed, it’s best if you could do at least three classes at most OR even four (I’m taking three classes and everything is going very well😼🙏)
@@irjectjadeThat’s the final thing on the list I forgot to add: If you don’t think college is for you, that’s fine. You can learn basically anything and everything through the internet, for a lot of people that juice just isn’t worth the squeeze anymore. If you need time to decide, take it.
thank you I really appreciate this message ❤
as someone who's about to go into college later this year. this actually gives me a bit of hope!
I hope to use this as a way to motivate myself to push forward! ^^
I agree with all but the first as a general rule. The experience and connections you make at a University are far more valuable than at community college and you should, if possible, not miss out on having/making those in the first couple of years. This applies double for STEM degrees (probably law and medicine, too, but those aren’t my experience), where extracurricular experience in teams and labs is invaluable to have even in the first two years. However, if you are daunted by University and want community college experience to get used to it, definitely makes sure the credits you are offered will transfer to your university of choice and that the course structure allows you to graduate on your intended schedule. For example, some course chains may take three years to complete that don’t have any comparable credits to your community classes.
The downside to having time is realising you have none left when it's already too late and regretting not doing more with that time you had

The conflicting needs for autonomy and structure. Confidence backed by experience is a powerful thing. It helps you seize opportunities. You'll have to make life unfold on your own strength, if you're able to work independently within a structure (rules)! set by more experienced people.
This is beautiful and it gives those goosebumps you get when your body knows the song comes from the soul.

I love this song.
absolutely, I don't even feel I necessarily relate to the song but damn, the goosebumps are real
This song perfectly captures the struggle of young adulthood, so relatable and beautifully sung. Life is a hot mess, but we're all making it work.

“I am 3 years into high school
And I am stressed out of my mind
I am filled with paranoia, depression and anxiety
Scared of what the future holds
Scared of what I am leaving behind
Staying up pondering about the things that are holding me behind
I wake up kinda dead, I wake up cursing life
Go through the day on autopilot, go through the night in vain
You see I am over conscious, but I try to lie it low
So, I just float around and keep my head down and hope my life unfolds
And everybody’s telling me that my life just began
I try to trust the process, but seems perfection’s the goal
If, this path’s right
Need to survive
I try my best
To try my best
I tell myself, I say out loud “It’s fine I’ll figure it all out”
I tend to forget, there is much more to life
In a way I don’t need to confirm to it all
I’ll be fine
It’s ok to live for yourself”
Man even though i haven't gone to college, i relate way too much.
Same
When I listened to those lines I've got time I almost cried and idk why it just made me feel like I'm just stressing myself out for nothing because I do in fact have time to learn things.
DW pookie, search for some light you will find the sun ❤
Starting college for the first time later this year. Ill be 26. People always acted like i was nuts for not immediately rushing off to college for something. I always told them i just wasnt ready to make that kind of serious decision yet. Don't feel rushed to pick something or do things that people insist you should. Take your time. Im very happy with where i am and actually looking forward to what ive set up for myself now. Im much more stable and able to do things on my own.
Turning 26 this year and just started college in Feb. I'm super glad I didn't jump into it from HS. Choosing to learn and being expected to learn has been a major change for me. I actually care about what I am doing now. I say take a break from school. Don't jump right into more school.
I'm almost 26 and was pushed into college after going through high school expecting not to survive into adulthood. I have no useful education nor a "career." I've traveled a lot and have a wife I love, so I gotta remind myself that living is the important thing.
I'm about to graduate from college with my first degree. I'm 31. There really is no right time to start or finish. Everyone is different and we all move at our own pace while trying to discover who we are.
good luck buddy! i wish you the best
Hey mate. I just wanted to say thanks for this comment. I'm 24, and I've been wanting to start college, but I got it in my head that I missed my window and that there's no point anymore. Examples like yours help me a lot to see that I'm wrong about that.
This really speaks to me deeply. I'm only a few weeks into college as a freshman and it's already stressing me out. My girlfriend also has lung cancer and has a surgery next week.
Thank you for this. I'm now listening to this song on repeat.
Even for those of us in our 30's,40's,60's,80's this is an important song. We all keep growing as long as we keep trying and keep learning.
60's? 80's?
Girl I have no idea where but your pfp is so recognizable and I'm going insane where have I seen it before

This is beautiful. I'm sharing it with my youngest son. It took him a while to find what he wanted. He eventually got a job doing it and is in line for an apprenticeship, then 6 months ago he got a head injury. They love him, so have kept his job open, but it will put the apprenticeship off. He's 25 next month. We've encouraged him that life is going just fine for him, just as it should. It's helped him relax a lot, but I think he'll appreciate this.
I started college at 25 years old.. was the only person in my friend group to do so.. at 29 I got my first job as a teacher.. and it truly feels like a career I can live with. I'm 34 going on to 35, and I'm really good at my job it feels amazing, and I know my path was so different than anyone else's, but I wouldn't change a thing.
I don’t know if anyone NEEDS to hear this, but the line in this song “everybody is telling me that I’m doing so well” is really just screaming imposter syndrome and as a 3rd year pharmacy student I’ve heard it and felt it as have all of my classmates I’m SURE. But, before I was a pharmacy student, I was a hopeful med student, and it didn’t pan out and it crushed me. Before that I was a masters student, and I failed a few tests and it felt like the end of the world. Before that there was undergrad and I was devastated when I wasn’t able to do what other classmates did and go into their professional school after just 4 years. I felt like I had failed, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. And it sucked. But…
Here I am, I’m on my way to doing SOMETHING I don’t know the plan to be honest. But I have friends and a fiancé and everything is working out. So, please, if you will listen to any word of advice, we mean it when we, your family friends and TH-cam Randos say you’re doing JUST FINE. You’ll BE OK! If you must, go ahead and beat yourself up all you want for you slip-up, but then you need to just dust yourself off and just keep going, and it’ll pan out. If it did for me, it WILL for you :) and good luck!
😊thanks
My mum: why are you listening to the same song over and over?
Me: 💀
And here I am, gonna send it to my daughter, cuz this will be her come Fall. 😊
its fire thats why
That's honestly beautiful.
I truly wish that every single person of our generation knows this: we're all going through it together.
"we're all in this together" - world of goo, probably
Insert High School Musical song:
"We're all in thiiis together! And it shows that we are, we're all stars..."
No were not
😊
Damn how is this the most relatable shit I've heard. Especially with the "i don't like the breaking the rules but I don't like doing as I'm told."
This is an absolute bop, WE NEED PART 2
This kind lady broke into my mind as a college student, pulled out her camera, snapped some videos, and made it into a short! I am very pleased to see someone who can relate so much!
That “Try my best, to try my best” hits so hard. In a world we’re just wanting to do “enough” is tough.
The true Irish accent is brilliant on how it works with the lyrics
Not youtube recommending the most relatable song i've ever listened to out of nowhere, kind of got me emotional
I am also a music major and this all reminded me what it felt to be a freshman piano performance major. It's a major, exhausting, and traumatic experience but it's absolutely worth every second. Learning how to manage my passion while also caring for my own needs has made not only my passion but the entire world so much more beautiful. We all need to remember to be human before being a musician.
I'm on the edge of graduating from high school and heading onto college and this song gets that feeling so well. Thanks for sharing it ❤
Tips for college:
- Do community college first, then transfer to a University later. Your first couple of years will all be general education classes and classes for your degree that are very basic and any school will have, so do them at a much cheaper community college before transferring to the school you actually want and the credits will transfer with you.
- Take as many classes that start later in the day as you can. Whether you plan to party or not, you’re still gonna kick yourself for taking early classes
- Learn as much about the campus before school starts as you can. Every school gives tours of campus for incoming students, take one.
- If possible, don’t live on campus. Look for any rent listings nearby, students will almost certainly be renting out a house and need another roommate. It’ll be a lot cheaper than the cost of the room and board you’ll have to pay when you’re done with school.
- Speaking of roommates, you won’t like having them at first. Roommates can and will be frustrating to you, even if they’re very nice and get along with you eventually you’ll get tired of living with them. That’s okay, and you aren’t a bad person for not wanting to live with them after a while, just hang in there and remember the good things about them to help.
- Try to meet/talk to as many people as you can. This can be at parties, but also just at clubs or in class, in your dorm building, etc. Most schools now will even have a Discord channel or something similar that you can join, same for the clubs.
- If you DO plan to party, make sure that somebody knows where you’re going, make sure you have a plan for a ride back, and don’t drink anything you didn’t watch get served to you. Always keep your cup against your chest, if they have a “candy bowl” (bowl full of random pills) please please PLEASE do not take from that. Doing some drugs can be fun, but please do them safely.
- If you have chances to visit home, try not to take them often. You’re gonna miss home, a lot. You’re gonna feel like your childhood is over, like your life is over, like you’re never gonna get to be home again, but that’s what EVERYBODY goes through. I promise you aren’t the only one, the less you run back home over weekends or days off the better. The best way to fight that feeling is to let yourself enjoy being away, let yourself stay at school as much as you can.
- Remember to take a breath and remember: you’re doing okay. Sometimes it’ll be fun, sometimes it’ll be stressful. But that’s just life, college is giving you a chance to start learning how to tackle adulthood without leaving you to the wolves, so when it’s getting hard or scary just remember that you can push through, it WILL be okay.

Pretty much the same, not quite that badly, but it's kind of crazy that an average person won't retire until about 65, and by that point most of your life is effectively gone, the best years are at least, from what I understand, I'm not even nearly 65

@monochrome3003 nah you have got time just don't repeat same mistakes. I have seen few 30+ people rebuild their life and succeeding. I myself wasted 2y after dropping out of uni without telling my parents (when i was 20). I thought i would just end my life when they find out but couldn't do it when they found out. They still wanted to support me to get out of it. seeing them crying for hours after finding out that i was about to end my life made me realize that nothing is more important than keeping them happy (not by lying). I am 23 now. I know i am 2 years behind but i an glad that i am on right path
Just turned 20 and feel the same

there's always such a good feeling when you find a song that relates so fricking much to you.
I'm about to enter college and I'm so afraid. and it's good to know that I'm not in this alone.
It’s true though, sometimes, throughout your whole life, you can be pressured to learn things that are too much, and overbear you.
Having been through it already. And gone to grad....do YOUR best. It's not about what you achieved, it's about being able to look back on it and say you honestly tried as hard as you could. That's how you make sure you lack regrets.
I did a lot of things. Some panned out, some where dead ends. My health got bad later and some stuff I had been working on was suddenly not an option. So much changes over time. But I can look at my actions with pride and say, I always did the best I could. And when I didn't, I learned from it and grew as a person.
You can do it. ^_^
Best of wishes to you as you continue on!
it's been the exact oposite for me. when I was in school my family always thought I would not amount to anything. I've proved them wrong by being sucessful and now even after not being in school anymore I still take a some of my time to learn new skills that I never would've thought of even WANTING to learn.
I've learnt more in the past 2 years than I learnt in my whole life and I am 24
More kids need to hear this.
I didn't go back to college until my 30s, when the kids were older and could not burn the house down if we were both gone for a bit. It worked out. It's never _easy_ but the real trick is to set little goals _and keep moving, one step at a time._
I think more kids need to be told to stop being a bitch

Why do you not just do what you WANT to do?
@@heliosphere9789Because so much of modern adult life is robbed of that privilege
@@Palafico3How so?
I understand that not ALL wants come true. But most do, don't they?
You want to play the piano? Get lessons. You want to work as a "___insert your dream job____" get an education! You want kids? You want a home and a dog? You want to travel abroad? There are always ways to make that happen.
In most countries, these are totally normal wishes that for most people come true.
But the thing about adulthood is, that some things can only come true if you are willing to handle the consequences they bring: Babies? Long sleepless nights. A house? Better adjust your dreams to what is possible for you. Travel the world? Well maybe work during your stay in, say, Istanbul.
But this is off topic. The video is about the crippling insecurity that most have around their twenties. And luckily, unless you f*ck up bad (drug abuse, prison etc) you will find your way for sure. :-)
@@heliosphere9789 ive spent so much time conforming to what other people want from me that i don’t know what I want to do
@@mistapoli I know that phenomenon. Not surprising, if we are bombarded with requests from all sides all the time (parents, teachers, friends, our children, partners, jobs, commercials, etc)I myself had a long struggle with that. But psychotherapy helps a lot (it surely helped me) to find your own will again. If you do not want to do therapy, it also helps to actively ask yourself every time a bigger decision is requested from you, "do I actually want this?". Or once in a while in everyday life just ask yourself "What do I want?".
First you might not get an answer, but little by little some answer will come.
Therapy is faster, though.
Also, you might lose some friends in the process (bc some people just like you bc you do not question their decisions or have "no own will" and are easy to convince),. But you will find better friends who respect your will and would not just fire requests at you. It's a long and winding road...
I hope for you that you will find that inner voice and have the courage to live according to it (because that is a whole other level, too). I managed after many years and now have the job I want (my passion. Little money but a joyful job), a happy family (not perfect, but happy) and I am so happy with my life and the people I share it with :-).

I’m about to turn 30, and this actually brings a tear to my eye. Because on the one hand, life does get better, but it also gets harder, the difference is that you’ll have your past experiences to inform you on how to make better decisions. That you might sleep more when you’re older though…well, I don’t think I’ve slept worse this year than I ever have in 29 years of existence, because of stress. But I don’t despair because I know I have what it takes to keep going, because I’ve already pulled through tough times before.
