- College is hard, but nobody talks about the mental and emotional struggles students go through.
In this video, I'm going over some of my most vulnerable and stressful times as a UCLA student with the struggles I faced academically, physically, and socially.
This video is very emotional and personal to me as it evoked some of my worst memories at UCLA facing failures in classes (failing an exam that I worked my butt off for), insomnia, weight gain, acne, and feeling the loneliest I've ever been and constantly filling myself with toxic thoughts that no one wants to be friends with me.
The level of transparency I had in this video is to not discourage anyone in pursuing their higher education but to simply draw more attention to the fact that college might not be easy for everyone. Quite frankly, college (UCLA) could be quite overwhelming and could be stressful and too much for one's mental health.
But it is okay to not be okay.
As a crucial part of my glow up journey, my rough college experience taught me many invaluable things and motivated me to become more resilient than ever.
Stay strong and stay you.

Sorry for how emotional this video came out. When reflecting on my college experience, some of my most raw and visceral reactions were helplessly evoked. This video is not to discourage anyone in pursuing their college degree, but simply to shatter the illusion I used to create about how great and effortless my college life was. At the end of the day, don’t be embarrassed of your struggles, they are what help us grow.🦋
this is me rn, online classes are destroying my mental health lmao
I wish you all best in life, you seem like such a good girl, you deserved better
I feel this so hard. I applied to a good majority of UC's, and got rejected from all of them. I then applied to the UofA, where I was accepted. Throughout my college life, I went through so many identity crisis' because I was an exceptionally well student in high school. My grades flopped so hard that I risked being removed from my major. Senior Year, I had the choice of continuing on with my major (which I absolutely loved) but graduate in a year or two, or transfer and start fresh. I chose the latter, and went to Nursing School. Now I'm still fresh into Nursing school, but my grades have been dramatically improving. I share this because in high school, the common vibe is "okay, go to the school of my dreams, major in something I want, and graduate in four years". Sometimes life has different plans, and part of growing is the ability to accept and move on. I wished I knew this, and knew the proper coping mechanisms, but its okay. We're thriving now.
I really related to this ;-; I am currently attending UCLA and it’s amazing how alone I feel in such a big public university. I have three friends that I love dearly, but my anxiety and fear of falling behind classes pull me back from spending more time with them and meeting new people. I’m having a really hard time and feel like a real imposter. Seeing you overcome all that really made me feel like there will be a day that I will be happy and okay with myself 💜 so thank you 🥺💜💜💜
I’m more of a morning person that’s why I can’t relate to my friends who sleeps around 1 to 3 in the morning
I'm entering my 3rd year at ucla and wow, this is relatable. I'm really glad you shared this side because I think many can appreciate the honesty and realize they are not alone when having a similar experience❤️
I relate so much to many of the things you said🥺 I thought I was the only one sad, anxious, depressed (whatever you wanna call it) college student 👩🎓 it’s tough to be pushed into this kind of setting and experience all of this after having hearing “I’m big, you’re small. I’m right, you’re wrong. I’m smart, you’re dumb. And there’s nothing you can do about it.” all the time as a kid or teenager. Thank you for sharing! Adults just say college is hard but they never really explain what is hard about it. I just thought they were talking about the classes until I experienced it myself...
You're so strong to share this with us....expressing your emotions doesn't mean you are weak...it shows that you're brave enough to express your feeling rather than holding in.....stay strong zoe..luv you❤️❤️
as a freshman in college feeling some similar emotions and struggling with some similar experiences, i really really appreciate seeing someone else come out and talk about some of the shitty things that can happen. but you’re right, the only way out is through, and the light is at the end of the tunnel. keep staying strong, you’re inspiring :)
i relate so much. i am struggling with depression and anxiety right now. online uni isn't helping at all. it just makes it easier to give up. i keep staying in bed all day, and i'm so behind on some of my classes. i feel so so stuck. i wish i could move like you did, the place i live rn isn't too good for me.
I love you for this, it gets really tiring when RUclipsrs make it seem like they're living their best life 24/7. You gave us something to relate to so thank you <3
I literally cannot with college. This has been the worst semester of my life. I have had so much stress and life changes. I moved out of my parents house, got married, and not even a month after getting married my father-in-law passed away unexpectedly. His death has really affected me and made me examine my own life. College just seems so futile to me now. Why am I doing this? What for? I want to spend time with my family, with loved ones. Life is too short for this. I cant take it anymore.
Its okay to not be fine
Every body : looking at the video
Fuck I'm not even in college yet but I started crying when you let us hear you telling your mum about your grades. Heck I'm still crying while I write this comment. I'm completing senior high school year and still, this was just so relatable and heartbreaking
Hey Zoe! I am a senior at UCLA studying economics and thank you so much for opening up and sharing what so many are too scared to talk about. Thank you!
I love that you show that life isn’t perfect and sometimes life is so tough and your transparent about it. But I believe in you and I know your going to get through it. You have my full support❤️❤️
Thank you for this zoe. I am really having a super hard, miserable and messy time this college and i even feel sick to my stomach just studying so hard just for my accounting degree. Just watching this video again inspires me and keeps me going to reach my dream.
When I first went to uni at 19 I developed depression that took away 2 years of my life and I dropped out because I was too sick to stick it out or whatever, now at 21 I'm again a first year student but I made a lot of progress with my mental health, it's not perfect and I'm aware that depression can come back but therapy helped a lot in accepting reality and built a positive view on myself as a person. Thank you for sharing your story! We need people to talk about their struggles and show that life is not perfect but it gets better
