      Emily Cooperrider - I wish I could give you a hug back! You know, I just got hired at a great job right after graduating recently (I should probs make a video) and my mentor just gave me advice that I wish I was given when I was going thru that stuff in college and it was "Act like a duck and let the things that have happened roll of your back like droplets of water. " That exam is a drop in the bucket of life, so be open to improving and recognizing mistakes, but no point in dwelling on the past as it can't be changed. Stay strong!

    I have average/bad grades in general but had the easiest exam ever on Monday and I'm going to fail, my friends even messaged me some of the questions that had been in their exam and I got them in mine as well and I was to lazy to check them out before the exam. I'm terrified of everyone thinking I'm stupid as the results are posted for everyone to see. I've been in this anxious state for a week, just waiting for everyone to see how dumb I am :(

    The RUclips algorithm brought me here! I recently graduated with a master's, after my bachelor's and your advice was something I had to eventually learn during my master's. I've had a lot of bad grades on tests etc. during my studying from school to university and your advice sums up best what I should've told myself years ago if I had the chance. The reminder that you're not a bad person because you have a bad grade and that no one talks about bad grades making you feel that you're the only person in the world facing it are so wholesome and should be known to everyone who is studying right now!
    I'm not sure you if you'll see this, but this video has a lot of wisdom and I am grateful to find this gem of a video!

    I just thought I'd let you know that this video of yours prevented me from making the worst mistake of my life! I was doing this course in university that I thought I could do. I was pressuring myself to do well but in fact that pressure was doing the opposite. Ever since I dropped that course (by taking your advice) I was able to freely concentrate on my other courses and I felt so much better too. So thank you :D

    Thanks! I was hoping you can talk more about lack/gaining more motivation, because the first few weeks of college I started to get overwhelmed, scared, and worried, I started lacking motivation to care about my grades/classes and wanted to move back home, I was on the verge of dropping out. I think lack of motivation is a huge factor when it comes to first time college students, I even wrote an essay on it lol. But anyways thanks again!

It's my first semester, I just can't seem to stop procrastinating when time is short. I need to change this habit so I can perform better next semester. It's already decided, I accepted my fate to fail these two exams. Next semester, I have to do better. I want to make my father, my friends and myself proud.

I will only learn from it and become a better person.

    This quarter was the hardest ever. (I had 12 classes in total) I failed two.. (French and Accounting) but I got extra work from my French teacher and passed. I just felt so pissed with my Accounting teacher not only did he turned in grades a month late but he didn't advise me or told me anything regarding my grades. He's the type of professor that discourages students.. I did my best on my final exam I thought it was enough. I don't think I'll be able to fix it anymore... I'm gonna try and talk to him tomorrow though and ask what went wrong. Thank you. I've been finding words on how to ask my teacher and you gave me ideas. :)

    • @Co1lege

      Kaira Villania If there is one thing I have learned from all my experiance, it is that Professors are completely different people in their offices. My big lecture professors seemed stone cold in class, because they need to control the mass amounts of students. When you take the time to visit them in the privacy of their office, they become a lot more understanding and can level with you. Going to speak with them is smart and will undoubtedly help you in some way, shape, or form!

    • @kairav11

But later on we found where my test paper was and I guess my score wasn't enough. Oh well life goes on. I think I'll just take a break from school after this quarter. Thank you so much for your advices! :)

    • @Co1lege
      @Co1lege  5 лет назад +2

      Firstly, I would definitely take some of that pressure off of yourself and take stock. Your journey is your journey and there is no time limit on your dreams. I took Calculus 1 twice and Calculus 2 twice in order to achieve the necessary grades to graduate with my Bachelors in Biology. Yes it took me longer, but by adjusting my habits and learning how to approach professors/tutors for help, I reached my goal. Fast forward to now, I work at the No.1 cancer hospital in the country running the office for the premier phase 1 clinical trial practice. The takeaway from all this is that sure you failed the first exam, but this is a kick in the pants to adapt and perform differently on the second exam. Do well because you want to and forget trying to please other people. Please keep me updated!

      Don't be so hard on yourself. For real. You are way smarter than you give yourself credit for and you know that deep down. Sometimes, it seems easier to feel sorry for yourself and then do nothing about it, but that feeling goes away once you know you're exercising your full potential. Don't let one or two or even a few poor grades define you. Overcome and and realize what you can do. Baby steps friend :)

      @Co1lege  7 лет назад

      Hi Swarmy! First thing you should always do when facing a stressful situation or mindset is to take a nice deep breath. One thing you should never do is "freak out". Freaking out has never been a productive method for anything. High school is designed to prepare students for college, so I would take note of your academic shortcomings now in HS and find ways that work with your learning style to improve so that you are prepared to face them again in college. Setting good habits now that will carry into your college life will be an extremely valuable asset and will put you ahead of a lot of your peers. Hope this helps!!!

    • @Dreamsai_

      And yeah I understand that hs is supposed to prepare me for college, but I honestly don't think it has, 9 th grade was a breeze, 10th was a bigger jump, and 11th was a little bit more rigourous, and I'm on my second semester.

      Let me start off by saying that seeking therapy is an absolutely acceptable thing. I have gone through therapy to help me process my emotions and understanding how I feel so don't be ashamed if you feel that it is a route you would like to take. You are not the sum of a single exam score. You are a beautiful person with hobbies, friends, family, interests and disinterests. It is your job to recognize your shortcomings and learn from them so they can become strengths. Anyone can do this with some time and patience. You are special and not a single bad score on an exam will change that. You are stronger than you know :)
