Great video, Holly. if I may add some advice? the only prep I tell my students to do in the summer prior to going to university is to acquire life skills. Enrol in a cookery course, learn how to budget your money, how to do laundry, how to manage your time, get into a fitness routine that you can continue during your semester/term. You already know (sort of) how to do the academic stuff, it's time to learn the life practical stuff.
The thing about believing you are the only one who doesn't understand something, is that you NEVER EVER are, but none of your fellow classmates has balls big enough to ask themselves, so they make you feel stupid. Learning is great, and we should all ask questions. I mean, if I already knew everything the prof is talking about, I wouldn't even bother to assist lectures or lab. (💕)
For anyone reading I just was to emphasise that all unis do lectures and handouts etc differently! I’m at a Russell group (not Oxbridge) doing a bio degree. All my lectures are recorded and put online to rewatch and we don’t get handouts- we have to print the lecture slides ourselves if we want them. It really depends on your uni policy/subject school so you’ll just have to see when you get there! Also some people may find typing notes during lectures/ annotating the slides helpful as it reduces writing time and helps you keep up with the lecturer. Lastly, in my uni for example, we don’t have weekly work, we have ‘coursework’ which all counts towards the module grade, perhaps one or two pieces per module so we don’t tend to have coursework due every week. Every uni is different but you’ll get used to how yours does things! Great video spreading more awareness of what uni is really like for many people- I really enjoy your channel :)
I'm a first year and I'm starting week 3 of lectures, and I was feeling so anxious for the past 2 weeks of classes... I'm actually feeling so stressed out, as all other people around me seemed to be so prepared for uni haha... Thank you so much Holly! I really feel better right now
This does reassure abit and I feel like I can relate to how you felt in first year. During GCSEs and A Levels I often felt like I took a long time to process and understand things, especially when it was new information, and for some reason I felt this slight pressure to understand the content at a fast pace which would make me feel as if I'm rushing and leaving gaps in my understanding. Although I did manage to understand certain concepts later on when I sat down by myself and read over it a few times and arranged time with my teachers to go over it I feel like my main concern in terms of academics in Uni is time keeping and not falling behind on content. I really do hope I can improve on that skill.
This video is so relatable, I’m at the last year of school (Spain) and my high school is so hard, one of the hardest, and sometimes I felt the same!, but then I realised that not everyone gets everything they seem to get, maybe they’re just as lost as you, and I found that asking as many questions as you find okey to teachers is the key, and learned not to give much thought to what might people be thinking about me. Love you Holly! Please do more yoga routines, I’ve been watching non-stop the ones you uploaded🇬🇧😘
found your channel maybe a week or two ago and i must say you have helped me feel a lot more comfortable and confident. Thank you so much for making videos and inspiring your viewers
This video was SO helpful. I sort of have a fear of failure and especially anxiety for coming across dumb. Going into uni, I felt so ignorant. Everyone seemed to know all the answers and I sat there thinking whether I’d made the right choice. The first week of lectures was absolutely horrid - but I’m starting to see more and more that people are struggling and find it hard, and I’m not alone. I suppose everyone just has to find their own way to make things work.
Mental health nursing? That sounds super interesting! I'm studying Psychology (without specialization) at Charles University in Prague, what's the difference between psychology and your field? :) I am really interested!
I'm coming to the end of my masters year and I'm really struggling to keep motivated because it's so much work, but your videos genuinely help keep me on track, so thank you!
it’s crazy that you’re already in your third year, i’ve been following you from you were just getting into cambridge! ah, how fast time flies. I’m just starting IBDP and it’s been so hard and I’m literally just beginning. Even tho it’s not uni this video definitely made me feel better
I'm starting biology course this september and I'm super worried. I am worried about labs,because I never got experience that I needed,like other studemts did. Everything I learned about biology and chemistry,I learned it myself because my school teachers were super underqualified and the school budget was so low we couldnt afford lab experiments. I know other kids from better and more privilledged upbringing are going to be way better and ahead of me and I really worry about that. Biology is my true passion and it was the only thing I would look forward to,and knowing that I will not even be good at it breaks my heart,because I've worked so hard but yet I'm still behind
I'm going to study biochemistry at the University of Surrey in september and im very nervous but watching your videos for the last year has made me feel a lot better and very motivated to smash my first year!
Your lecturers will talk too you but there is also a chance they will talk at you. There is also a chance they will spend the whole semester reading directly from the powerpoint and you begin to question whether or not you even need to be there.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm going to Cambridge this September and recently I've been getting more anxious than I probably should about it. It's great to hear that other people also feel stupid and awkward, even people like you who seem from the outside to be so in control and successful. So happy to know I'm not alone! ❤
I'm studying Biochemistry at Queen Mary's starting this September and I've literally been looking at university videos since result's day 😂 This was so helpful Thank you so much
i usually hear you as a background in order to not feel lonely, feel motivated and inspired. Your voice makes my soul warm and also, i feel understood as a student. I study abroad and watchiing your videos have changed my student life!
I normally do not comment on videos but I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who deals with some sort of anxiety talking about academic things to supervisors or teachers among peers! I'd much rather have it one on one, like you. Thanks so much, Holly. I'm starting Uni this October and really needed the reassurance that you gave in this video. Much love xx
Hi Holly! Thank you for uploading this video :) I was feeling sooo stupid doing labs for the first time and my friends were always so annoyed by me constantly asking questions about everything... Unfortunately then I failed but when I retake the classes I felt more confident doing experiments :) I think it's really important to share experiences like this. You are not alone, guys :) You don't really know, maybe there are other people in class feeling insecure, people looking annoyed by your questiones can be stressed and have no clue what's going on just like you :D
I found your videos by accident and let's just say that they really came in clutch, I'm starting my second year at university and have recently been thinking of doing my masters degree abroad. This has resulted in increased levels of both motivation and stress, but watching your study videos has given me more ideas and support to start planning my weeks better, start studying properly (i kinda slacked off my first year), eating better, and overall concentrating on what's important right now. Also this video is like 100% how I felt when I began university, I felt like everybody was more adult than me, more prepared, more motivated, more studious... But i guess we were all lost in the same boat!
I'm going to Northampton University this October!! I feel a bit down as I got a place at Loughborough but last minute decided I didn't/couldn't move away from home and I feel like I've let myself down. However I am super excited to get started at Uni learning something I love and am trying to push away the negative feelings for more positive ones ☺️
Starting russian philology on University of Warsaw in a month! I don't feel super nervous (by now), but I am afraid my anxiety will make it all difficult. So I am thankful for your channel, it helps me a lot ♥ Greetings from Poland hun and good luck this year!
I get the exact same way in academic “small groups” and seeing how hard you work to succeed in addition to this really encourages me. Thanks for sharing! 💝
I stayed 2 years at home repeating the exams to get to med school (1st year didn't get enough grades, and now this year, we will see!). I will know if I finally did it by September 10th and then start university! So thank you for the heads up! I'm a quite anxious person when it comes to school (it has been a struggle to follow my dream!) so, it is good to know what awaits me and that I'm not alone 😊 💕 Thank you Holly!
As a being foreign student, This is more harder for me. The lectures are English and our teachers speak English as well in class.I hope I can solve this language bareer and I can get how should I study much more effectively.Thanks ,Holly!! This video was good directive.
I never related to a person this much before in my entire life. You're literally like another version of me. Thank you so much for the video, I'm a biology student, too and this helped me a lot with my pre-school anxiety.
Watching your videos taught me about veganism and allowed me to make the change in my diet. I have been a vegan for 6 months now and I love everything about it. Thank you Holly!! :)
Oh wow!! I'm a biology student too and my lectures are ALWAYS at least 1h30min long and most of the time even 3h without a break :o And they tend to overlap quite a lot time wise...
I've just finished my first year at Oxford doing Maths and this video has made me feel so much better about how it went. I felt the exact same as you in tutorials and lectures - constantly felt stupid, that I didn't get anything and constantly having to say I don't know. It's so good and reassuring to hear that your experience in second year was better. Thanks!
Great video and some great tips and advice! I'm going to be studying electronics and radio communications in September so hopefully I can become a fully-fledged techno bore!!
Hi Holly. Even though I have been a big fan of you for a quite while, this is my first time leaving a comment for you. I am starting university in Canada as an international student. You've just made me less pressured. I also have the same problem being in a group with someone that I don't know well. what you feel in the circumstance is exactly the same for me! Despite the language handicap that I have, I was inspired that I should attempt any challenges. Otherwise, there is no point paying such a high tuition and attending university. Thank you, Holly.
Would you recommend trying to sneak in a voice recorder or record the lecture on a recording app on your phone in case you want to ensure later that you have gotten all the information in lectures down?
Hey Holly, just wanted to say thank you for this. I’m in my final school year and I actually just wrote my maths exam today (it was terribly difficult) and I’ve been struggling mentally. I also very recently developed a massive interest in medicine which is so crazy since I never really had an interest in it before. Regardless, even though my subjects are not based around the medical field, I’m still choosing to enroll in a Bachelor of Biological Sciences Degree. I’m anxious but this video really helped me. Thank you!
I’m starting university in September next year, and I hope to get into Salford University to study counselling and psychotherapy. I’m really excited about it even though I will probably be one of the oldest on my course because I did an apprenticeship at eighteen instead of going to university because of the state of my mental health. The points about making notes is really handy. I will try to continue doing what I have been doing at college for the past two years and write bullet points.
Omg it's 3 years later and you described exactely how I feel rn. I'm so overwhelmed and feel stupid, because I have te feeling everyone around me so much smarter than I am. This video helped me a lot, now I know I'm not the only one who feels that way and has no clue what's going on. :)
Please do more day in the life type videos! I love how contagious your motivation is! Your study with me videos get me through many tiring study hours 😁
Holly, you have truly inspired me to drink more water and to make my days more productive! Thank you for your weekly dose of positivity. Keep doing you
You are without a doubt my absolute favorite youtuber and you inspire me so much. I really appreciate the time and work you put into your videos to make people feel so comfortable so thank you
That anxiety explanation was spot on I feel the exact same I couldn’t have put it better I’m so glad someone else understands and that’s my worry with uni. I want to be able to make friends too without being shy or lost because I don’t even have the courage to ask for directions so thank you 💗xxx
Hi Holly!💚 I’m going into sixth form in September nevertheless I found this very useful! Thank you so much! And thanks to you (and Unjaded Jade haha) I’ve begun to adapt my diet to plant based! I’ve also begun getting rid of cosmetics, clothing, etc. which are not cruelty free and I’m already feeling a lot better about my reduced environmental impact, and my body!
Loved this video! One thing I've learned after my first year: if you're struggling, don't panic and think that you're alone, because everyone is probably having the same problems lol
Hi Holly thanks for making this video it was externally helpful as iam starting Uni in around 3 weeks time and are going to study computer science. I am glad that advice from people like yourself is out there.
I just discovered your channel today and I am already in love. I was feeling down about school and for the last week I was so unproductive and unmotivated in general and your videos gave me motivation, so thank you. Also I am going to university next year and this video really helped me feel less anxious about it. P. S. no one cares but It's so cold in Russia, I am freezing
Loved this video! I'm starting Uni in Groningen in under two weeks, I'm soooo excited but also terrified haha. But it's really good to know other people are feeling the same way!
I'm going into my second year at Selwyn doing HSPS and this was really helpful! I had a rough first year for various reasons (but my exams went fine, thankfully) so I'm trying to see second year as an opportunity to branch out and enjoy the entire uni experience more rather than seeing it as a giant mountain to climb. Good luck for 3rd year!
Im going to southampton solent, btw, studying english and creative writing so i am expecting many lectures and reading weeks but i feel so much better after the video!
Thank you so much for this Holly!! This helped so much. Good luck with your final year, can’t wait to see more study with me videos around your research project, I’m about to start a degree in Biology (technically Genetics) and I’d really like to see exactly what goes into doing a research project in your 3rd/final year x x x
Your experience seems really similar to me going from elementary to high school felt stupid had impostor syndrome had no clue how to take notes as the same happened as with you the professor just keeps on talking the material also felt a lot harder we had the situation where as you said you need to understand what you're learning not just learn it and last year (1st year in hs) I just completely failed it was going OK until lock down and then the first grades from the material in school were great but then material after that was just really bad towards the end i really had to get my shit together because I was close to failing like 3 classes (out of 13) and luckily I did but since I was just so far behind schedule on so many things for the final 3 weeks of the school year i slept most days 4-5h if not less so it was not fun also how much time i have is a lot different as i have to get up at 5 get ready take the bus school starts at 7 and i usually get home at around 3-4pm so i just do stuff untill like midnight or later and then sleep now I've completely changed stuff thanks to you I've started scheduling have gotten much better at being organized and am getting 7-8h of sleep daily while spending all the time possible working on school and other projects
Hey Holly! Thank you for your video. I have been watching your videos for a year now and you motivated me so much that I really worked hard and eventually achieved my goal. I am gonna be starting my first year as a medical student in Preston in Sep. Honestly, I was quite stressed and worried about what I should do to prepare and how it will be like in the uni but I felt a bit better knowing that everyone is in the same boat. Hopefully, I can get along with things and do well as you did. Can you please make a video talking about your strategies to make your notes in the lectures? Thank you! Love you!💕
Hii I'm going to study CS at Lund University this year. Sooo excited, but soo nervous at the same time... Your video helped me a lot! Thanks❤️❤️ love u❤️❤️
Helpful and helped to calm my nerves down! I'm currently in my third week of university (first year/term) at the university of Vienna studying comparative literature. My lectures take 90 minutes which is quiet long, which I had shorter ones. Finally someone who too had chemistry in their A-levels! :D
I'm just starting the second year in high school . But i still feel delightful to watch your fabulous videos. Love you sooo much 😍.And any advice for us high school students?😉👀
Great video, Holly.
if I may add some advice?
the only prep I tell my students to do in the summer prior to going to university is to acquire life skills. Enrol in a cookery course, learn how to budget your money, how to do laundry, how to manage your time, get into a fitness routine that you can continue during your semester/term.

Thank you!!
Thanks for the advice
thank you!
That’s assuming you’re living at university of course.
This was so helpful!!! I've barely done anything academic over the summer so this made me feel so much better!
@Korey Synowiec this message is everywhere
@Ismael Phillip also everywhere. Weirdos
I love how she is saying how stupid she felt but ended up ranking 1st the her degree

The thing about believing you are the only one who doesn't understand something, is that you NEVER EVER are, but none of your fellow classmates has balls big enough to ask themselves, so they make you feel stupid.

For anyone reading I just was to emphasise that all unis do lectures and handouts etc differently! I’m at a Russell group (not Oxbridge) doing a bio degree.

Loved this video! One thing I've learned after my first year: if you're struggling, don't panic and think that you're alone, because everyone is probably having the same problems lol
Hi Holly thanks for making this video it was externally helpful as iam starting Uni in around 3 weeks time and are going to study computer science. I am glad that advice from people like yourself is out there.
I just discovered your channel today and I am already in love.
I was feeling down about school and for the last week I was so unproductive and unmotivated in general and your videos gave me motivation, so thank you.
Also I am going to university next year and this video really helped me feel less anxious about it.
P. S. no one cares but It's so cold in Russia, I am freezing
Loved this video! I'm starting Uni in Groningen in under two weeks, I'm soooo excited but also terrified haha. But it's really good to know other people are feeling the same way!
I was just going to dm you about this. This video is heaven sent!
I'm going into my second year at Selwyn doing HSPS and this was really helpful! I had a rough first year for various reasons (but my exams went fine, thankfully) so I'm trying to see second year as an opportunity to branch out and enjoy the entire uni experience more rather than seeing it as a giant mountain to climb. Good luck for 3rd year!
You look so pretty in this video holly!!!
This is such a good idea . Well done Holly
thanks for this video! I‘m from Germany but starting uni in england this year so this was quite helpful! :)

Thank you so much for this Holly!! This helped so much. Good luck with your final year, can’t wait to see more study with me videos around your research project, I’m about to start a degree in Biology (technically Genetics) and I’d really like to see exactly what goes into doing a research project in your 3rd/final year x x x
it means youre really a smart person! i adore you holly !
Another amazing, positive and helpful video!
Alwys looking foward to ur videos.wish u success
I’m about to go into my second year of uni and i wish i was aware of these things before i went in to first year too!
Your experience seems really similar to me going from elementary to high school felt stupid had impostor syndrome had no clue how to take notes as the same happened as with you the professor just keeps on talking the material also felt a lot harder we had the situation where as you said you need to understand what you're learning not just learn it and last year (1st year in hs) I just completely failed it was going OK until lock down and then the first grades from the material in school were great but then material after that was just really bad towards the end i really had to get my shit together because I was close to failing like 3 classes (out of 13) and luckily I did but since I was just so far behind schedule on so many things for the final 3 weeks of the school year i slept most days 4-5h if not less so it was not fun also how much time i have is a lot different as i have to get up at 5 get ready take the bus school starts at 7 and i usually get home at around 3-4pm so i just do stuff untill like midnight or later and then sleep now I've completely changed stuff thanks to you I've started scheduling have gotten much better at being organized and am getting 7-8h of sleep daily while spending all the time possible working on school and other projects
Holly ! You are always my sweetest motivation ❤
Love your channel so much!

Hey Holly! Thank you for your video. I have been watching your videos for a year now and you motivated me so much that I really worked hard and eventually achieved my goal. I am gonna be starting my first year as a medical student in Preston in Sep. Honestly, I was quite stressed and worried about what I should do to prepare and how it will be like in the uni but I felt a bit better knowing that everyone is in the same boat. Hopefully, I can get along with things and do well as you did. Can you please make a video talking about your strategies to make your notes in the lectures? Thank you! Love you!💕

Helpful and helped to calm my nerves down!
I'm currently in my third week of university (first year/term) at the university of Vienna studying comparative literature.
My lectures take 90 minutes which is quiet long, which I had shorter ones.
Finally someone who too had chemistry in their A-levels! :D
