I graduated at 26 after many screws ups and failures. Most of my struggles came in community college. I didn’t make it out of there until I was 24. I was so freaking happy when I got my associates and got accepted into a university because it was never supposed to happen being special Ed in high school. I didn’t enjoy getting my bachelors at all. Even though everything went smoothly course while I was at my 4 year wise the closer I got finishing the harder it was. When it did happen I didn’t care anymore and felt so empty because of the emotional exhaustion from it all. I wanted to prove my grade school teachers wrong so badly and all the friends I lost. That journey taught me more than anything external motivation is meaningless. Congratulations on your graduation and I know it must if have been fun seeing your football team in the championship game😂
i totally understand the emotional exhaustion of it all and things getting harder the closer you get to finishing school. congrats on getting your associates AND bachelors, even with all the struggles that came with it. i agree that external motivation or doing things for the sake of proving yourself to others can be meaningless in the grand scheme of things. also thank you for the congratulations! and yess, even though i don’t care much for sports, it was really cool seeing my football team in the championships lol. they did great this school year!
I just stumbled upon this video while procrastinating on work that I really don't wanna get started on but I know damn well I'm gonna regret not doing. I'm just finishing my first year of college and everything is daunting. I don't really like my degree and the only reason i went for it was so that I wouldn't be a disappointment to my family. I thought it would be tolerable but it really doesn't feel like it. I have one single classmate and we are the only people in first year for my section and it's been hard. My friends are all in different places and I think I've gone out like 4 times the whole year. I am completely disinterested in any work i get assigned and I just want to get it over with at this point. But somehow this video made me feel a little bit better and now i feel like i can finish off this year, take a break from everything this summer and just reevaluate everything. It helps to see other people who have similar struggles and questions about their futures who are figuring everything out one step at the time. Makes me feel like I'm not all that behind in life and that i can do this
hihi!! congrats on finishing up on your first year of college, that’s such a huge accomplishment (: i’m really glad my video was able to resonate and make you feel even just a little bit better; that’s my goal with any content i upload. it’s admirable that you don’t want to disappoint your family, BUT i think when we feel resistance towards something, like not enjoying your major, it’s important to ask WHY we feel like we need that “thing” to be successful. there are so many paths you can take that will lead to your success, in or outside of college. during my first year of college, i thought i wanted to pursue nursing. i was scared to tell my family when i changed my mind but they were beyond supportive. i know not everyone has that, but if we allow ourselves to be motivated by external factors and do things just to make other people happy, it can make us miserable. why does it have to be this major specifically for you? i’m sure you have many skills, dreams, and talents that could bring value to this world if you pursue them. i believe in you and whether you decide to change majors or not, you’re not behind, and you CAN do this 🤍
YOUR BEST VIDEO YET!! (im a lil biased cuz im in it) BUT OMG I LOVE THIS
YOU’RE THE BEST 🤍🤍🤍
