had a similar week like this last week...kind of just sat and cried. wasn't necessarily physically sick but things just kept going wrong. WE CAN DO IT THOUGH
I’m from South Africa so my uni new year starts in Feb, so in the first week of Feb when uni started, I became extremely ill, and I love university, I work my ass off for A grades BUT, when I got sick the day before, I dreaded the idea of uni, I wanted to go home, I didn’t even have energy to get out of bed. I skipped the first day and well and behold, I missed a class quiz that counted towards my semester mark, the next day I still felt really ill but was scared something similar would happen so I just went to class but that entire week made me resent university so badly, I cried during the day, I missed my mom and I got sicker and sicker despite my medicine. SO! Point of my long story is ☺️ we all have our ups and naturally our downs too, the fact that you’re sick means that your body is already under a lot of stress fighting bacteria, now it has to worry about uni stress too. Take it easy and make sure you rest, you can still keep on top of your work without overexerting yourself. You have to be happy and healthy for you to even be able to exceed. Lots of love~
I feel you. I like learning but the amount of work that universities demand of students can feel so overwhelming!! It’s the worst when you put a lot of pressure on yourself to always get good grades.
i really love cleaning up when i’m sick, it makes me feel so alive and fresh because your mind is a manifestation of your surroundings, i think that’s how it goes heh. but just make sure to take your meds, i’ll pray for you 🥺💛
girl I feel you so much :( I have a test on tuesday (2 days away) and I've barely started studying. I know I can do well and spend the whole day monday but saturday and today (sunday) I have been feeling soooo awful and unmotivated. At least it will be over soon
hey vee! thank you for being so honest and genuine by showing us your hard days! hope you’re feeling better and we know you’re gonna make it through! 🥳
We will write our first test in mediadesign in 3 weeks and our teacher gave us 1000 pages script....what the hell....I have 11 other classes to learn for. Sometimes school is impossible. And I hate all the study motivation videos where everyone is saying things like "go to bed late wake up early" etc. it is just impossible and unhealthy if you would follow this motivation video advices. I really feel you! But I also believe in you
@@yazhinirajamohan9662 Sry that wasn't my intention. The thing is, that there are lots of crap study motivation videos which will lead you into burnout. BUT there are also very good and motivating ones! Vee is so real and shares with us her struggles...this motivate me much more than all the other vids. You just need to believe in yourself! And every breakdown makes you even stronger
@@yazhinirajamohan9662 She is stating facts. The problem is not the students, it is the educational system. You shouldn't have to sacrifice your health to be more indebted and not even sure to get a job at the end.
I agree with you that there’s no time for feeling bad, maybe just in the first year when courseworks when coursework were easier. I have 11 weeks of term but they changed it and last term after 11 weeks of classes I had my submissions and exams right away and I felt so bad and was so depressed because of my personal life that I really didn’t know what to do and there’s for sure not enough support accessible. And this term I have 2 months to write non existing for now dissertation alongside 3 other modules and like how am I supposed to do that 🤷♀️
It is very relatable seeing you have a less than good week considering how you were mostly posting about productivity and always being ontop of ur game. I'm sorry u were sick though and I'm glad even then u inspire me to know that I should go on whether or not I'm feeling under. I'm so proud of how far you've come Sisi Vee. And watichiv ur old videos feels like a me manifesting the life I want for myself and cultivating my dream as I draw strength from ur drive. Thank you Ntomby💝
I have Abitur in about a month which entails 3 written tests in three different subjects-in my case that would be my two majors history and English as well as math which is obligatory( two are five hours long and one is four hours long) and two oral tests. On top of that I have to write one regular test (2 periods long) in each class that I'm taking. So I would say that I definitely know the feeling of forcing myself to do something daily even if my motivation is non- existent. But you amongst others have proven that in retrospect it is always better to work hard because you don't have to feel guilt about your own laziness afterwards and can count on better results. You are such an incredible rolemodel for others due to your amazing zeal, drive as well as an overall joyous demeanour. Thank you for always motivating me and staying strong even in times of struggle. Get well soon and we' ll get though this together!
I did my Abitur in 2018 and I really was struggeling. As I was aiming to go to med school so the pressure for perfect greades was very much on. I studied a LOT, especially for bilingual History and Chemistry. It was a very challenging time, I guess for everyone it is. I think I felt my worst during mocks as I suudenly felt all the pressure and realised how hard it was going to be. For me it got better afterwards and I actually enjoyed the last month of studying. Its quite nice when you realise that all of your hard work over the last two years comes together. I helped me to have something to look forward to after the finals (for me it was gap your in London). In my opinion it is important to realise that your final weeks are a marathon, not a sprint. Know that thousands of students are going through the exact same struggle as you are at the moment, and even though many might not admit it: It is hard! Ask for help if you need it but also trust your abilities. The Abitur is the culmination of all your 12 years of school, so don't give up. Its only about two more months to go. That's plenty of time to revise and get the hang of the exams. I hope you will have as great of an outcome as I did and will be happy with your grades in the end. I achived my goal and got into a great Med school. All the hours you're putting in now will be worth it eventually and I've never heard anyone regret working hard! Best of luck! xx
@@leoniegrosse9121 Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. It's great to know that your hard work has paid off. I'm hopeful that I, too, will be able to meet my expectations that way. I wish you the best of luck in your career also even though you will probably do well regardless.
Vee, I recently found your channel and you inspire me SO much. I always watch your videos before/while I write my 48948484 papers for uni and it puts me into a very productive mindset. Thank you so much! Lots of love from Germany :)
You know, I feel that! I’m in my senior year, literally in my LAST SEMESTER, and I feel like I hit a wall. I’m not motivated, I’m sad, and I’m tired. Good luck girl! 💕
Vee u r a brave girl u know that..u went through many bad situations like a pro be it an essay crisis due just within 4hours or any other hard times,so please dont feel that u r unwell..i know at this time ur body is tired of all the hard times and struggles...but i also know that u r brave enough to overcome this struggle too...just be happy and keep it up for your great work....love you vee
I just want to mentioned that you can't easily take a week of from uni in Austria if you are sick, although the term lasts for four months (16 weeks), but I understand how you feel right now and hope you are better soon!
i feel you, ma'am. I study 5 days per week and I have to get up at 5 every morning to be in class and it exhausts me. I certainly have no energy left on the weekends because I have to rest. college life is tired af.
Vee you really grew...I been watching this channel for almost 2years and you have been motivational ...I AM SO PROUD OF THIS GROWTH...YALL DONT BE SKIPPING ADS!😁🙏
OMG watching you makes me so motivated to go back and finish University 🙌 and fight 💪 but then watching you makes me feel 💯 of the pain, stress and tears University put on us the students
Vee, I understand you very well. I had moments that I hated university depending on the courses which I took, my professors, and the load of difficult work which I had to do. It sucks to be sick during university. That is why that I always got my flu shot in the fall, so I would not become sick while I was at university.
i feel you Vee! Get well soon. Dont forget to drink vitamin c on a regular basis and have enough sleep! my uni is 10 weeks and i think its bad but you have it 8 weeks but i know you can do this!
All my uni courses lasts for 12-14 weeks, and mid semester we have 1-2 weeks off for an obligatory assignment. On the other hand, we only get 8 weeks to do our final dissertation (help me!!!!!!!) I love this, because we actually have the possibility to be sick, and take some days off. My dream was to study at Oxford, since my dad did it for 1 year as an exchange student, but at the same time, seeing your schedule, I would probably break down after 2 weeks.
Vee I am confused. I want to study Classical archeology and ancient history in Oxford but for my a-levels I am taking English literature, sociology and English language as my school doesn’t give classics or classical civilisation. I am teaching myself Ancient Greek at the same time but I am getting scared with the fact that I am not going to be accepted because of the a-levels I take
Hope you’re well soon❤️ I feel you (sort of, though my uni is far less pressure)... I’ve got a chest infection and just sort of gave up on uni for today
I know how you feel 🙄 I study architecture and my uni doesn't allow you to be sick too and you have to do all your work, attend all of your classes otherwise you're done 😣 Get better soon ❤
good question. There have been lots of protests, both at Oxford and at Cambridge, but the universities haven't made a change yet. There's also a very interesting documentary called "Feeling Blue? Mental Health at Cambridge University", made by students, where they talk about the fact that 8-week terms are detrimental to both mental and physical health and that at least a reading week should be introduced.
@@Voldemorti I was just thinking how awful it must be for both the mental and physical health of the students. It's made me realise that I'm very fortunate that my uni has 12 term weeks and a study week.
@@hiekfbisnl2772 It definitely can be, yes. Take a look at the documentary if you're interested in how it affects the mental health of some Oxbridge students. I found it really interesting
My university has a 6/7 week term and last year we were hit with a 9 week term, everyone from students to lecturers couldn't take it. It was too long for us. We had 9 weeks and then 5 weeks after a week break then we had our semester exams at the end of it all. Included in each term there was a test week. It's interesting to see how overseas university semesters work.
Random question but what pens are you always using to plan out your essays, presentations etc? 🙈 also I Love your videos and i hope you get well soon! I feel you 💕
I’m in year 11 right now, do you think I could get into oxford doing a foundation tier language (Spanish) because languages isn’t my strong suit right now and I’m afraid that even if I do great in my other GCSEs, me doing foundation tier will let me down.
We sincerely hope you allowed yourself to get to bed early as taking care of you should always be priority one - and rest aids your body in allowing your immune system to use energy for fighting off infection and not have to compete for it from other functions. If we could be there I would have made you a nice warm bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup, given you a hug and sent you to bed. The work is important but not at the cost of your health- a depleted you can’t give her best and your best will never benefit from an unhealthy you either. Take a day or two to yourself; speak to your tutor and explain you are really physically unwell (sounds like flu based on how tired and the temperature differential felt) and ask others to help you with taking notes on your behalf and/or speaking to a lecturer after class to request copies of the class presentation for the day or the likes. Whatever you do, please put your health and well being first and you will recover faster and stronger soon enough, ready to give that 110% once more. Tremendous hugs and heartfelt warmth.. R & A
I FELT it when you said you want your mum, being ill at uni is the worst!!
She's a whole mood
“It dose not allow you to be unwell” THAT’S NOT OKAY
Vee: I HATE UNIVERSITY
Also Vee: I genuinely love university
Me: What the- 🤦♀️
She said certain moments she hates
“I want my mom” i felt that😭
had a similar week like this last week...kind of just sat and cried. wasn't necessarily physically sick but things just kept going wrong. WE CAN DO IT THOUGH

I feel like that in highschool as a Junior, and i am not ready for college but I've heard it ddpends shat you major in that will make it hard or not.
Random question but what pens are you always using to plan out your essays, presentations etc? 🙈 also I Love your videos and i hope you get well soon! I feel you 💕
What's the song between 4:20 and 4:40?
I’m in year 11 right now, do you think I could get into oxford doing a foundation tier language (Spanish) because languages isn’t my strong suit right now and I’m afraid that even if I do great in my other GCSEs, me doing foundation tier will let me down.
Vee when you find the time could you make a video on how to write a dissertation/thesis?
I hate uni too, there is no time to rest at all
Thanks for being honest. At the moment I feel so burned out and dead inside
You are such an inspiartion
I hope you get better soon and please dont hate uni
Ahhh you are doing good dear!
Just found your channel! Loved this video 😘😘
Stay strong!
Take a shot every time Vee touches or moves her hair 😂
Looks amazing Vee 😍

How much time did u spend to tie your hair
wow you even slowed down the music🥺
Good luck honey 💌
Ehy Vee... I got a question: usually how many days you Oxford students have for writing an essay?
hey can I enjoy your vids....can you make it a vid about how you edit?
also i love your hair 💛
Hug you 🤗 I dont feel well today as well and I have much negative mood...
