- yeah so this gets pretty real. I thought I'd give you guys some of my advice and share my experiences about how hard college is and how no one talks about it. all about transferring, feeling alone, mental breakdowns -- ya know, the stuff our tuition pays for.

believing that everyone is smarter than you in class is so real
Abby Deleon it also doesn’t help when they try to flex it in your face even though you have the same grades as them and now suddenly they are on a pedestal and liked by the teacher more ugh.
Couldn’t agree any more
So true, and even though most of the time my grades are higher than others grades I still don’t believe in myself at all
@@adilazaros2818 yeah, I feel like I'm not supposed to be there even though I passed the prerequisites with no problem
its called imposter syndrome and its real
im not even in college but this is making me feel 100x better knowing I'm not the only one worried about this and that this is going to happen to literally everyone and not just me so thanks syd for making this
you’re welcome! I feel like we all need a lil reminder
Ooh i felt that “feeling everyone is smarter than you” bit. As a STEM kid. Thats all you ever feel
I FEEL YOU. I always feel like i'm too dum for STEM and it really discourages me and has had me thinking about just dropping out. It's so stressful
this is so frickin true
I am a stem kid aswell
As a freshman who was thinking about transferring and is currently going through what you described, this really helped me. Thank you❤️
Same :(
I am a freshmen too and went in Monday which they said classes were on campus and then by Monday evening they were all online so I had to travel home 3 hours to get better wifi😬😬😬
@@ainsleygrace4260 me too. I transferred halfway through my freshman year and I don’t regret it either but sometimes I think it would have worked out too. But I’m happy now and I hope you are too 😊

@@ainsleygrace4260 I transferred as a sophomore too and I'm currently thinking about going back to my old school! I thought I would be happier at a "better" school but I miss my friends and old campus
Hi! I’m a psych major and we actually learned about imposter syndrome. It’s the feeling that everyone in the same position as u is astronomically better even though you worked just as hard definitely deserve to be there. This is a very normal thing to feel and unfortunately is something we are wired to do. It’s supposed to help motivate u to be the best possible at that thing but it can actually really do the opposite. Everyone feels it at some point so ure not alone but sometimes it helps to remember that ur brain is made to work that way and it’s not something that’s wrong with u or different and sometimes brains are just stupid. There are actually a lot of things that can be boiled down to your brain can be stupid at times🤣 thank you for making this video and validating all of our fears
ayy my name's sarita!!
I’ll be a psych major😌
imposter syndromw? SUS LOL AM OGUS AOMUGOOSUUS AOMGUS AMOGSUS je(sus)
honestly people have said that college would be the 4 best years and it truly just wasnt. I was miserable all during undergrad
Sam Elle I felt like if I wasn’t in a sorority then I wasn’t going to have fun or that my way of enjoying myself alone and doing my own thing wasn’t good enough. Totally feel you.
Sam Elle This is exactly how I feel. College honestly sucks.
Abby W yup it’s nothing like the movies or shows at alll
Exactly I feel like every person that I see is with someone else and then there’s just me alone and then I get depressed about it. Like I know relationships aren’t everything but like it gets to you and it’s kind of hard not to think about it when everyone around you is with somebody

I think another thing that gets stigmatized is homesickness and/or going home over the weekend. Everyone always talks about how they can’t wait to leave home and that there’s light homesickness during the period of adjustment, but I felt like a lot of student struggle beyond that period. I definitely did well into my sophomore year (I am currently a senior) I am the oldest, so I felt like I was missing seeing my siblings grow up and I was so homesick, and I always felt like I had to have an excuse to go home bc people judge you for going home rather than staying on campus. It’s alright to be homesick, even after freshman year, and it’s okay go to home to see your family.
yess!!!! i'm the oldest too and i tend to go home every three weeks/each month because i miss my siblings and my family. in my first year of uni i always felt like i needed an excuse or people would silently judge me, but now in my second year i just go when i feel like and really don't care what other people think. i think it's really important to know that you can love your college experience and AND still miss your family, they don't have to be mutually exclusive. it's literally okay to go home as often as you want
True, I would go home to visit my mom every 2-3 weeks. I would say that if you have family or a family member that you miss then you are one of the lucky ones 👌
Sydney, you have such a mature way of putting things, I can completely relate. Hearing someone else say the things I've been thinking is so comforting.
I really needed this. I'm hardcore struggling right now with online school and I feel like I'm not learning anything. It's so frustrating.
There's not enough time in the day to teach myself all of the content and then do homework and volunteer and be the president of a club and be a part of societies and be a good member of the symposium committee for the state I live in and still have time for mental health and socializing and breathing and sleeping and living
I really admire you! I feel like I don't have enough time in the day to do everything I need to do, and all I have to do is study basically 😂
Honestly, the first 2 months' loneliness is the thing I'm relating to the most right now. I'm in my first year and I'm almost done my first month. I moved away for the first time & it's really overwhelming when you leave everything you've known your whole life or who have known you, and going to a completely new environment (school & residence) and feeling extremely lonely. I'm not the type to be super outgoing and on top of that, a pandemic is still going on, so finding that social network of friends at school is really difficult, which has made me reconsider every decision I've made that's got me to this point, especially the decision of me moving into residence. I thought I would at least make a few friends and branch out more than I would have if I was studying at home. Also, the "besties with your roommate" thing is also really accurate, it's really hit or miss. For me, it wasn't as easy to become friends just because of my introverted personality and because she's in a completely different faculty so it's not like collaborating to work through classes is a thing we could do. Idk why I went on this tangent but I just wanted to say that these points are really common and yet, there are people (especially elders) who believe you should "just get over it" and that's just not healthy to say. Okay thanks lol.
Girl I’m right there with you! I feel behind in a sense compared to other people. I’ve made friends but I’m not really close to many besides my roommate. Praise God that I’m close to her. Not so much my suite mates but we’re friendly towards one another. This pandemic has made it really hard to connect with people in my experience. I legit just had a breakdown over this and not feeling good enough this past Sunday. This video has made me feel 100x better. Hope it did for you as well :)
@@peacesignlover02 In the same boat ://// I am trying to stay positive because I know we are in a pandemic and meeting people is harder than usual. Friends and settling into a new life comes with time, but I am finding this first month to be particularly tough. I hope everything falls into place for you guys
I'm feeling the EXACT same way. Starting college in itself is so incredibly hard but in a pandemic, it's been one of the hardest thing I've ever gone through. I've had a hard time meeting (and connecting with) people too, and the workload's a lot, and I miss my home. I'm basically just ranting at this point but you are so not alone, I'm feeling this way too and so are so many other people. It'll get easier over time, and we should all be so incredibly proud of ourselves for going through this time, so I'm trying to remind myself to be kind to myself. Wishing you the best through this all, we'll make it out!!
Emmaline Kent right? I’m feeling really “behind” right now in a sense. Kinda behind on work, behind on friendships, and behind on the college experience. I’m just praying that rona goes away😫 I pray it falls in place for you too :)
createkate. I’m glad I’m not the only one, but I hate that you feel this way too. I’m missing my family even though they’re an hour away lol. Being at college is different than being at home. Go on and rant girl, I’ll listen😅 we’ll make it though this, one step at a time :)
i literally failed a stats exam 2 hours ago so this video came at the perfect time 🥺❤️
Someone finally put the “it’s hard to make new friends outside of your hometown because no one knows anything about you so it’s hard to make connections easily” in to words! Going from a graduating class of 78 people in high school to a class of ~1000 in college (in which no one from my hometown went to), it was really hard to make friends and honestly you explained why really well.
Impostor syndrome hits HARD in college, literally every single day I think I’m not good enough for my major and that I’m not smart enough. It also frustrates me so much that I’m not “naturally” smart and have to work double the amount to complete just one normal task. I’m so pressured in finishing my career on time but honestly, taking 7 subjects a semester (bc that’s how my plan is written) in an engineering major is so so so exhausting and i have questioned so many things but mostly myself. College is hard, not only because of school but also because of everything that is going on inside your head. Thank you for speaking about this and letting me feel like I’m not alone. Also if you feel like this feel free to message me because you are not alone in this situation ♥️
I'm also an engineering major and I feel the exact same way. It almost feels like you can't control your thoughts, feelings, and emotions bc your brain has wired itself to negativity, which turns into anxiety and depression overtime. And when your mental health becomes a problem, you can't simultaneously work and deal with your mental health, bc it feels like a burden. Then people (parents especially) start blaming you for procrastinating, being unmotivated (lazy), miserable, and alone, when they don't know what you're going through bc they're not in your shoes or haven't experienced it, even after explaining your situation. College was always complicated, but when did it become a burden on our health, and when did people become so selfish to the point people stopped checking-in on each other, and everyone is SO focused on themselves these days!
i’ve cried at least 7 times over the past week because of college and this helped a lot thank you so much
"Like a Canvas discussion, except less horrific and everyone's getting an A."
That's a whole mood lol 😂
I’m currently a freshman at penn state, and that period of loneliness is SO REAL. hit too close to home. Thank you for talking about this
sydney’s in penn state too you should go meet her lol!!
omg sydney is in penn state too
There's also just so many people at Penn State, it's not surprising that PSU students feel lonely
hey queen I’m also a freshman at penn state we should get together!!! my snapchat is elhuber1 :)
I am a junior and I still feel that every time I move back in
YES THE LONELINESS THING. I literally thought I was going to be best friends with my suitemates and we would do literally everything together and talk about living together next year and all that, but in reality it's not like that. Not that we hate each other or anything, we just literally don't talk to each other. We just do our own thing. And I'm not the type of person who will just walk into a room full of people and make friends with every single person, so I was having trouble making friends and at one point during the first week of classes, I thought I just wasn't fitting into the school. On top of not having the BFF type relationship with my suitemates, I felt like they were doing stuff together and leaving me out, and at the same time that was going on, I had been kicked off my dorm building's GroupMe for a reason that I still to this day do not know. And when I got added back the next day, I found out that it was one of my suitemates who had kicked me out (the last person I would have expected to kick me out) and that people were saying some not-so-nice things about me on the chat (I found this out upon reading back everything that went on while I was out of the chat). I just didn't feel like I was fitting in and that was making me really sad because I thought this school was the one for me.
Things are a lot better now, and although me and my suitemates aren't exactly meant to be BFFs, we still live together well and are on good terms which is all that's important. And I realized that the reason I didn't feel like I fit in initially was because I just hadn't found my peeps yet. Now, I realized that my "peeps" (aka the people I fit in with the most) are the people in my major. I'm a music major (violin performance) and us musicians tend to mesh well with each other. We can relate to not being "partying" kind of people because we have to practice a lot. And I'm not a "party and get drunk" kind of person like most people my age are so it's nice to have some people to relate to so I don't feel like I'm the only one who's not into drinking and stuff. In fact, last weekend while lots of people were out getting drunk, I practiced at midnight, which is something only a musician can relate to.
Anyway, that's the end of my rant lol, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk 😂
Literally feeling this way today since my professor put in my exam grade like it’s not a bad grade but it’s not a great grade and it’s lower than the average so then I go into the same spiral of I’m not smart enough or my grades are only gonna get worse and I just try to remind myself these numbers don’t define me but my behavior and mindset after that moment does. Thank you for this honest and vulnerable conversation! :))
It’s a weird time and college is hard but we’re all gonna get through this! Good luck at zoom university everyone 💛💛💛
IM SORRY I DISLIKED THIS BY ACCIDENT I IMMEDIATELY UN-DISLIKED IT but in case you thought i did it was an accident im sorry have an amazing day/night
FELT THIS. when it’s not even bad just not what you were hoping for...ugh
syd's vids same. A lot of this in the video applies to high school too. Grades feel like a really important thing in the moment... and after for a while... and it’s stressful :(
Nicole hahahaha it’s okay you’re so sweet to let me know I didn’t even realize!! Have a great rest of your week :)).
syd's vids precisely :(
Watching this video, I almost cried tears of both relief and disappointment knowing that most college students feel this way. I’m a senior going through the college application process, and I’m so stressed trying to figure out if I’m applying to the right schools, where I’ll feel most at home, which school will be easiest to make friends at. As someone who is extremely introverted, I already feel a crazy amount of pressure to meet friends quickly my freshman year of college to avoid loneliness. Thank you SO much for talking about this and normalizing these feelings!
Hey! I’m applying to college now too and I feel the same way. I’m so nervous about if COVIDs still happening when we’re freshmen, because then it will be even harder to make friends if people have to mostly stay in their dorms. Where are you thinking about applying?
I just started my freshman year at Penn State and I know how you feel about feeling stupid in a class. I've also had several mental break downs (more to come) and being out of state only makes it worse. But this video was so relatable and helpful.
I get free laundry in my dorm. I feel so lucky.
You are
I'm Mexican we don't have dorms but I think it's super weird that students already pay for the dorm and they have to pay extra for the washing machine, for me it doesn't make sense
you have been blessed, child
I just started but this looks so high quality and good, Syd!!! And I really need this right now. Thank you so much
As a senior , I’m just glad I wasn’t the only one who felt and feels this way
One thing I've heard is that two things make us unhappy. Comparing ourselves to others and dwelling on the past. great vid syd. part 2 please!
I really needed this. I've had a lousy week and this helped a lot
Actuarial science is so hard! I had a friend who did it and it was like looking at NASA plans or something. Also I'm graduating at 26 from college and transferred 3x! Totally worth going to a school that you enjoy! Also I changed my major 2x lmao but now I'm so happy!
Me: looking to apply to university’s
Me: 👁👄👁
My brain: PANIC
Thank you for talking about this ❤️ The freshman loneliness is so real especially when a lot of school is all online.
i love syd so freaking much she's so honest about everything
I love how genuine and real you are in this! Much appreciated
honestly one of my favorite videos of yours. you just made me feel so so much better so thank you for that
This is one of my fave videos that you've made. This was incredibly comforting and very relatable, thank you for sharing your experiences
Needed this I feel like this year has been so hard. I’m a senior in high school and I just feel like we need to all open up about mental health!!!
literally one of my favorite videos you've ever made!!! everything felt so accurate and i would LOVE a part 2!!
this is so important! the part about prioritizing different things in college (and thus having different levels of experience/internships, etc) is so true, I feel like it's something that needs to be emphasized more. thank you for talking about this!
I have felt this so much. I’m not in college yet but everything I do revolves around it so it’s just making my high school experience more stressful than it probably should. I just want to thank you for showing that I’m not the only one that feels like this, it truly does make a difference knowing you aren’t alone💕 I love you and your vids btw, I look forward to them every time ❤️
I've been breaking down all day and on the brink of tears - this video couldn't have come at a better time
I think it’s so good that you made this video!! Bc literally everyone in college has felt and feels like this sometimes!!
I have never related to anything more, thank you for talking about these things and making me feel like I'm not alone!
please make more videos like this! I love this style of video where you are able to give insight on your college experiences to other college students. It's nice to hear that other people feel lonely in college or aren't bestfriends with their roommates.
I normally never comment on your videos, but I just needed to tell you how much this has helped me. Im about to start my sophomore year in a week, and I am feeling incredibly overwhelmed already. Last year was honestly not great, I relate SO much to all of the points you have made, about feeling lonely, or like you dont belong, and specially about this type of like, “impostor syndrome” of feeling like everybody else is so much smarter, and more deserving than me of being in this school and in this major. Seeing that im not alone has really helped me, and Im sure it has also helped a lot of other people that have watched this video and have gone through similar things. I hope you have a great year Syd, thank you again for everything💛
Loved the whole 15 minutes of this! I appreciate the rawness, Please do a Part 2!! I related on soo many levelss
Hi Syd, this video was amazing. I’m starting high school and I just sent this to several friends because I think it will be so helpful for them. This was just so helpful, comforting, and overall great. We like all of your content even when it’s not your usual stuff. Thank you so much for the video.
I lovedddd the intro, anyways besides the point I found this video really helpful and comforting as I'm a freshman this year and am quite overwhelmed. You should definitely do a part 2!
Sydney, thank you so so much for talking about feeling lonely at the start of freshman year. I'm having a hard time making friends, especially having to stay six feet apart from everyone, and it's comforting to hear that you also went through that. And seeing that you have good friends now gives me hope for the future :)
Thank you for addressing this. It's really important for people to understand that they are not alone in what they are feeling and experiencing. For you to speak about your feelings and not sugar coding them is exactly what people need to see and hear. Thank you!
I needed this video right now. You perfectly articulated everything I’m feeling right now.
It’s really interesting hearing you talk about your experiences because while I’m a freshman atm I haven’t experienced most of what your talking about, but I’m glad that this is helping others feel better
Oh Sydney you're so real and do I love your videos. I only hope for your future to be bright and you deserve the best
also just wanna say that i loved this video. you should make more like this! where youre super open and honest. ily!!!
I LOVE HOW HONEST YOU WERE!! You see the jokes about college stress and anxiety during midterms or finals season, but hardly all semester long. My freshman year (2 years ago) started great but ended horribly, and I think I discovered you around that time. Since then, your videos always have but a smile on my face. Thank you for this and for all the laughter tears you have gotten out of me. Love from Puerto Rico!!
Omg yessss. This video is so needed. I just graduated August and when I started school I was on track to graduate May 2020 and the way people would ask why I’m taking so long, why I’m not a spring graduate....and like it really shouldn’t matter as you said. At the end of the day you get the same degree as someone who graduated yesterday, today or the next day. Like people really should watch this and understand the raw hard core truth of being a college student. This is most definitely an eye opener video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
i'm so thankful that you made this video,, i'm currently in a slump with school and it feels like i'll never amount to everything i want to accomplish, but it's nice to hear from other ppl that i'm not the only one that faces that struggle,, if you ever want to make a pt. 2 full steam ahead, this helped a lot
syd you’ve always been my favourite youtuber but man, this takes it to another level. really needed this today. this is awesome, you’re awesome
This was so super eye opening Sydney! Thank you! I have been stressing about college and you gave me a little bit of calm ❤️ Keep being you
Hey syd!! I’ve been watching your vids for 3 years & I literally love them! I’m a senior in high school & I got all of my acceptances but now I’m in the stressful process of picking a school. This was an eye opener for me and will be a reminder for me next year once I go away to a school. So thank you 💖💖
I would think it would be such a relief for some college people to hear this and know they are not alone in these things and that I f you are going through that, they can realize it's not that they are idiots or weird. Good for you for opening up about these issues.
this is one of the only videos recently where i straight up watched and didn’t think about what video I’m gonna watch next or do something else while doing it so kudos
As a 3rd year going to UC (University of California) Davis, I have dealt with ALL of these problems. I was told that I’d make lifelong friends, but I’ve honestly made none that kept in touch more than a month. I’m also CONSTANTLY comparing myself to others around me and beat myself up whenever I get anything lower the average. I’ve had times where I’ve felt that my school isn’t for me, and times where my logic flew out the window because of the comparisons I made.
Although I still suffer from imposter syndrome today, I’ve learned that this is MY journey. It doesn’t matter what others do. I still compare myself to others, but I catch myself before it becomes overly toxic. I may not be in a bunch of organizations or having the most amazing college experience ever, but I’m here. Remind yourselves of the good things-I remind myself that I’m a first-generation student pursuing something I’m passionate about, that I’m going to one of the best schools in this country, and that I got accepted for a reason.
Thank you Syd for making this video. I’d love to talk to you and others about this in more detail if you’re interested. Nothing about our college experiences should be taboo.
We sasquatches don't have to go to college but this is still interesting
thank you for posting this. i’m a high school junior at a competitive boarding school, and so much of what you’re saying is exactly how i feel. this video really helped me :)
loved this video! especially because im starting college online and already a few days in feeling bombarded with assignments!! thank you for making me feel like its ok to stress, its ok to put college work away
I'm a sophomore in college right now and I just wanted to say this video is incredibly accurate and well done. Thank you
As a sophomore in college, I went through all of this within my two years in college and I wanna thank you for making this video. After this video, I realized I wasn't alone and this should be talked about more often.
As a freshman going through this during a pandemic, this video is so helpful. It is so good to hear that everyone goes through a tough time in the beginning and also being insecure within your major. Thank you so much!!! ❤️
this honestly made me feel so much better, i've literally been feeling so overwhelmed and underqualified for life in college and it's nice to know someone else feels that way
Thank you so much for this video! I am a freshman in college and it’s reassuring to hear that other people feel the same way I do. 💗
Thank you for making this video! I honestly needed it this week (midterm hell week) I don’t feel so alone anymore
Thanks for touching base on all of these topics!! WE LOVE BOTH OF THESE SIDES OF SYDNEY 🤍
Wow,I needed this! So happy other people feel like this and go through these things too!💕💕💕
This video was so helpful for me no one ever talks about the struggles of college you talked about and just knowing others feel this way helped me so much and made me feel okay about college and my choices!
oh my god i thought i was alone in all of these thoughts...please make this a series :)
I really needed this. Thankyou sm for making it💛
I'm so glad someone is talking about this! I go to uni in Australia and these are all thoughts I struggle with and I thought it was just me. Thank you for normalising the fact that college isn't all parties and drinking and all of that stuff but it can be hard too
I loved this video. Thank you for doing a real video on real issues people like me deal with. This is why you are one of my favorite TH-camrs. :)
Thank you so much for this video, I struggled so much during my first year and it makes me feel better that other people went through similar situations
Thank you so much for this video! I’m a college sophomore and it took a while to find good friends and feel comfortable on my own. There is such a big stigma about having these feelings in college. Everyone always says that you’ll love college, have so much fun, and meet friends for life right off the bat when in reality there’s a lot of stress and anxiety and self-doubt! Pls make a part 2!
I kinda had the urge to cry while watching your video. You perfectly explained all my insecurities and fears that I've been botteling up these last 2 months. Coming from a Belgian freshman college student. I really needed this, thank you
I really needed to hear this. Thank you so much for this video Sydney. I would love a part 2!
I love this video especially the last part. I NEEDED that. Please do a part two it won't be boring!! I loved seeing this side of you
thank you for talking about this. im a freshman in college and I feel like this pretty much every single day of the week. so thank you💖
Thank you so much for the video! As a prospective college student, I'm SUPER nervous about a whole lot of the things you've talked about. This really helps clear some of the worries bouncing around my head. I'd love to see part two! Much love
Just looking at this and seeing how far Sydney has come is amazing. We’re rooting for you!
I needed this today thank you so much! Part 2 plz 💕
I needed to hear this so bad. I’m a college freshman right now and definitely am struggling with a lot of these things. It’s just nice to know that we’re not alone in our struggles.
everything you said was literally ME! I felt like you lived my exact life lol, thank you for speaking on this! Definitely helped me know I was not the only one.
the last one is so true!! whenever im doing anything that isn't homework or studying i feel so so guilty! i'm prelaw and ive done nothing to prepare at all and i have to take the last soon and i've never had a good internship or job it's so stressful
i loved this video so much. as a sophomore in college, this stuff is so real. i feel so dumb most of the time and continuously compare myself to others, when in all actuality I'm doing just as good of a job as they are. i loveddd that you mentioned the "four year plan" because i was looking into adding another minor but it would take an additional semester, so i automatically shook that idea out of my head because i didn't want to be "behind." college is a hot mess and no one has it together, so I'm so glad you are talking about it and making me not feel alone lmao.
I’m a freshman right now who is learning from home and hearing all your thoughts really helped me. Thank you!🥺💕
I think that this is my favorite video of yours and as a preparatory year student I relate to most of those things so it's nice to hear someone older talk about
I loved this video syd.
The anxiety of not doing enough is so real. Especially when I get into a semester a bit more I get so mentally exhausted I just can't get as much done as I did at the beginning, but then I beat myself down that I am not working as hard as before. Which increases anxiety and just makes me even less productive. And just like you said, I know the logic I have around it doesn't make any sense, but then actually being able to change it is so hard. Thanks for making this video Syd!
YES! As a senior in college and graduating a semester early (thank god), I've had so much anxiety over the years about not being good enough for my major and not knowing what I want to do after graduation. We all need a reminder that not everyone has everything figured out and knows what they're doing! We're all trying to figure it out together :)
You really hit the nail on the head. This was incredibly validating to hear
Thank you for this video! It’s really nice to have all the feelings validated
You have no idea how much I needed to hear someone else say this. It gave me confirmation that I’m not the only one 🤦♀️❤️
THE MOST RELEVANT REALISTIC VIDEO EVER ; you are like my sit down and talk to about any and everything sister
I loved this video. I think something that everyone needs to remember is to not compare your journey in life with others journeys. Everyone is on their own path so it’s so important not to compare. Obviously that is easier said than done :)
Please make more of these videos, hearing you talking about these things helped me feel like I could relate. Furthermore it helped shaped/changed my perspective on situations. Thank you.
Yes I love this video ! I’m doing freshman year online rn cuz of covid and have already felt some of what you described, but for the things u talked about that I haven’t experienced yet, it kind of gives me hope for when I do go on campus and I’ll know that it’s ok to go through whatever I’m going through
