    Hello to previous viewers (if you were notified I "loved" your comment), and to anyone who may watch this. New pinned comment here. There is a follow-up to this video: ruclips.net/video/KMsDgcF57B0/видео.html.
    I haven't been here in a while and missed a lot of comments, and I'm sorry about that. I truly hope that you gained something from this video, or maybe from reading the experiences of other people. You're not alone in your struggles. It's been over a year since I officially graduated, and I can definitively say that failing some classes in college was not the end of the world for me. I moved past it, and I'm doing okay right now! Covid-19 sucks, but that's a collective struggle.
    I will check back more frequently to respond to comments, and I want to let you all know that if you need someone to vent to, you can message me on Instagram at maylikesnoodles. I am NOT accepting follow requests, but I accept DMs. Thanks for watching, and thank you for your comments.

    College makes you feel like if you fail one thing your life is over and I HATE that feeling so much! I'm trying to talk to counselors I've never failed a class before. I'm just really bad at this subject.

    • @MayLikesNoodles1
      @MayLikesNoodles1  5 лет назад +24

      I've felt like I'm really bad at subjects, and I hope I seem a little credible seeing as I've retaken several classes, but sometimes it wasn't that I was bad at the subject. Sometimes classes are disorganized or the information is presented in a way that's difficult to absorb and recall. Of course, discipline and willingness to spend time and effort also come into play, but I personally had to recognize it wasn't solely my fault for performing badly. That doesn't mean placing blame elsewhere, but it helps to evaluate your situation and see everything else that affects how well you do. Having a better situation usually gives results closer to the ones you want.

At my school it's not that expensive, but still wasted like $500 on failing this class. I never failed a class in my life. But thank you for making this video i can definitely relate.

    With the whole quarantine thing going on and only having online classes, I am currently struggling a LOT. I haven't gone to any of my online lectures. I started out trying to do all of my homework, then I started skipping a few minor assignments, and then I started simply not checking my courses enough and missing bigger assignments on accident. Today I realized I accidentally missed an online class where I was supposed to do a final presentation, which I thought was 2 days from now. I am in similar situations with all my classes.

      I did the same thing for Spring semester. I skipped classes but somehow I managed to pass them all with Cs and Bs. Moreover, my stubborn self decided to take summer classes (all of them online) and I have not done any work for any of those classes. I have finals tomorrow and I have accepted the fact I’m going to fail these classes.
      I won’t go hard on myself because I was also working full-time and working out 3h+ every day (I plan to become a competitive powerlifter) however I know that I could have used my weekends and some time before going to bed to do homework and studying.
      The thing I always tell myself that helps me when I feel the world is gonna end is that as long as I’m alive there’s hope I can still succeed.

We have to acknowledge that people have individual, unique experiences, and what may not be hard for others can be incredibly difficult for some. College is hard, that's a fact.

    I went through this too, but the way my family acted ruined my self esteem. Even in my first semester, I worked hard, and instead they told me that I couldn't do it and overloaded my schedule with events when I had to study. I ran out of time, and the hopelessness made it harder to push through, their comments made me give up and resort to entertainment to cheer up, to the point where I started entertaining myself all day and hardly studying for an hour or two a day on average. When I failed, they continued to taunt me for it. It's been two years and I feel worthless and don't have the same confidence, energy, and drive that I did as a high schooler. Being Asian doesn't mean you're smart. It means that when something is thrown at you and you do not know how to cope with it, you are criticised harshly to the point where you are no better than a lazy bum. Who knows? Maybe that lazy bum had ambition and was wasted the same way?

    Ever since this pandemic started I feel like my mental health and ability to focus has dropped at least 30 percent. I started taking online classes this spring and only passed 2 out of my 3 classes but those two didnt really count towards my GPA. I eventually took 3 summer classes and I did terrible in them, I lacked the energy or willingness to do anything school related, I was so lazy even in my personal life, it was just a mess man🤦🏿‍♂️I know people usually say just dont procrastinate but it's harder said than done

    I was tearing up before watching this video. Basically, I'm a second year college student studying at Qatar University and my major is electrical engineering. This semester Spring 2019, has been the worst semester ever. I took 6 classes (16 credits) - Physics 2, Physics 2 lab, Calc 3, Essay Writing 1 (an easy A subject I chose ) , Linear Algebra and Electric Circuits. I have never failed a single course in my entire life before (both high school and college). However, this semester I failed calculus 3 miserably and I'm so disheartened and angry and most probably will fail general physics 2 cuz the professor's too strict in marking and our university does not follow the curve system. Moreover, my physics 2 peers and I struggled in this course hard enough and our prof always gave us tough quizzes midterms, and even the final was too hard.
    I don't know if I should continue in electrical engineering or not. I truly loved electric circuits this semester and my overall performance in that course has been pretty good and I might end up with a B because our professor knew how to teach and his assistant was not harsh in grading.

If you're able to talk to an academic advisor, I would highly suggest it, but know you might not hear what you want to hear. On the flip side, you might hear something you didn't know about that will make things much easier. Take a chance and talk to someone and get some perspective, you might have options you don't yet know about!

      I know it's tough. I'm going through a pretty rough time right now, but my counselor always repeats to me that failing classes doesn't make you a failure. Even if you retake them or end up going on a different path or just take a longer time getting to where you want to be as a result, it's not a bad thing. I know this isn't really advice, but know that you have options!

    Hey, May: I hope you made it. Don't let this world get the best of you. I admire people that get accepted into universities. My brother went to USC (Southern California). I was really happy for him. I've never been to a university because my grades sucked, and I really can't afford to pay for college. I used to go to Pasadena City College. I went there for a semester and, after a few months, I stopped showing up for my classes and they dropped me. I took 4 classes and the teachers dropped me just because I stopped showing up for class---can you believe that? 😉 I did manage to pass this one math class, though.

      @MayLikesNoodles1  4 года назад

      I would highly recommend talking to your professor and/or an advisor. I struggled with a class and falling behind, and I reached out to the professor who gave me some encouraging words. Sometimes they're able to suggest resources that will allow you to catch back up, and other times they may recommend you take an Incomplete for the course. There are several options, but you should reach out to someone to find out exactly what they are and what's best for you. Good luck!

    Hi from Brazil, May. I'm feeling so bad because the same thing Just happened to me. My course is chemical engeneering and I failed in Calculus 2, Algebra and general chemistry(again). I love to read and study, but im feeling so out of place and bad that i cant do that right now. Everyday when i wake up I remember the mistakes that i made at that exames, while my classemates got A's and B's. Bisides, i'm 22 right now and cant Stay in college for more them Five years. (English isnt my First language).

    • @MayLikesNoodles1
      @MayLikesNoodles1  5 лет назад

      Hi Marco. I think it's important to remember that even though you have a passion for reading and studying, it can be really hard to feel that passion when you're not feeling good. I really relate to constantly thinking about the mistakes I've made all the time, but I've gotten a little better at focusing on what I can do now instead of what I did in the past. It takes a lot of effort and practice, but eventually you can get to a place where you feel good about learning again. I'm really sorry I don't know how to help or what to say, especially in your case of being unable to stay in college for more than five years, but I'm sure there's someone who knows what to do, like an academic adviser or counselor. It never hurts to reach out, and I hope things turn out okay

      I've received 1 D and 2 NPs. The 2 NPs were for 2 classes that I switched from Graded to P/NP so that I would be able to retake them. As long as you're able to retake classes (which may push back your graduation, and I know that isn't ideal), you will probably be okay! As you may have read in other comments, I highly recommend speaking to some sort of advisor who will have better feedback for your situation.
