Bro it's totally okey to fail , I myself failed in whole year at pharmacy school and I think it was the best thing happened to me that year , the amount maturity I gained that year was huge >>>
So when I gave my hindi exam. I thought I must get e good grade but after my teacher discussed the paper, I realised that I won't be getting good marks.
Congrats Nathan! I have been watching your videos since 2021 when I started my premed. Your videos have motivated me during stressful and sleepless nights for the past 4 years of my nursing degree. I am finally taking my last ever final Bachelor exams next week and I am watching your videos again to motivate me. I have already completed 900 hours of clinical rotation😭. When I pass the exams, I will proceed for Transition to Registered Nurse which is another 3 months of clinical rotation which will conclude me with 1380hrs. Then I will sit on my Professionals exam and NCLEX in November for my registration! ⚕💉
Oh man, watching you look at your results gave me tachycardia lol. I finished my final year PEBC and OSCE last month and I'll be getting the results back in just over a week... aaanndd I don't think I did well. It's nice seeing someone else who took their failures and made themselves stronger when all you seem to see around you is success. I always tell myself, just keep trying because the world is so much bigger than us and continues to move on, so do whatchu need to do :)
Yesterday i also failed my exam and seeing your video really makes me feel better that other’s also can fail not only me.. i thought my mom would gonna kill me but she really supported me and said “you did your well”..
Ehh?! I never thought I'd see you in my recommendations. I clicked your page thinking I'd just give your channel a slight peek, but I ended up listening pretty intently to your tips. To be honest, I've never been a very productive person. I've heard most of your advice before from videos or my peers, but I never managed to actually apply and enforce them in my daily life. In fact, I've barely even touched my textbooks over the summer, especially since there's no immediate sense of urgency with grade 12 feeling so far away. Though I can't say that listening to you speak about building a routine has been "absolutely life-changing" or that you've "saved my academic career," I think that's it's amazing to see somebody you view as successful tell you exactly how they achieved it. It makes everything seem so much more obtainable, that one day I can have that as well. In that sense, my main issue was believing I was innately incapable of success. Thank you for being somebody I look up to, and thanks again for giving me this boost of self-belief :)
Im in hs and in 8th grade i took physical science and i got a 69 on almost all of the tests but i somehow ended the course with an A. I just finished 9th grade which i took biology 1 in and since im very strong in bio, my teacher decided to recommend me for chem 1 🙃
I have a chaemistry test today and I was so scared 😅 but honestly you have calmed me, knowing that I’ll persevere and grown and learn from this will make my experience so much better thank you !!!
I got a 6,0/10 and 6,5/10 this bimester, i hate it. I reprove it. I can't with it anymore, i went so well in other tests, but in these... Nah, and seriously, i study the whole content before of the teachers, and i understand better than when THEY try to teach me, so i write what i LEARN and not what i was supposed to "memorize" all the words, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TEACHING IS, is frustrating to me, one thing: English isn't my mother language, and you know what ? I learned it by myself, people in my class ask me, MY TEACHER ask me things in English, for me, the teaching method has to be changed to students like me, i know I'm not alone, i really hope I'm not.
The last four years have humbled me, ground me, and buried me deep, but I learned a lot, especially about myself. It wasn't easy, it wasn't good. But, it sure was something. Hugs to you, Nathan! You are one of my life sources who inspired me throughout the past years, I'll be graduating tomorrow, and you are one of the core memories of why I did🫶
the stress, the last minute studying is incredibly relatable rn, in two days i'm writing my last final exam ever of highschool (Abitur), just watching the video in between brakes. It took me several days to watch because of that. And it was with me for those days, somehow truely a comfort video thanks :)
I just "failed" my math exam. I know 79% isn't the worst thing in the world but there are so many people in my class that got 98% that I just can't. People tell me not to be hard on myself but its so hard. I'm 14 by the way :) Thank you for supporting all of us!
In my English grammar I got 200/200,182/200, and 193/200. And I am pretty passionate about English grammar. But in English reading,not so much. Today I got 153/200 it's not terrible but I'd like to do better^^
Nathan you are such an inspiration…and i wish you all the best..you are strong…don’t forget that. Today i failed my second examen of my 2nd year of medical school…and i was feeling miserable and hopeless. But you gave me hope. In the end…It will be fine. Take care and be unstoppable!!!😊
I used to be great at studies However, over time I kinda lagged behind my peers when it came to prep Not that I wasn’t smart but I guess I just didn’t put enough effort and clearly the outcome shows with regards to the college I got admitted into I’m grateful for my college, but the course I got into has not been of my interest at all, and I’ve been coping with it(as has my whole class) and we basically think we even got this course in the first place because this course was introduced newly in my college. Whatever said and done, I wanted a different course, more direct cs related but I got this, as much as I try to make myself feel good about it, my inner perfectionist does not seem to accept it However, just when I was trying to accept my course wrt my grades and extra curricular in coherence with my course, I got my latest result, and it actually *decreased* my CGPA. Yeah imagine that, so that was something that thoroughly disappointed me. Just when I was getting comfortable with the course and the subject as a whole, I still have hope, and clearly I’m not just a tech person; I’m much of a managerial person, me taking a tech course is having me question myself , especially because the tech isn’t just software( what I was aiming for) it is a lot of hardware But I’m getting the feel that all of this is just redirection. It gets harder knowing my grade reduced my cumulative gpa this sem, but I’m confident of making it up, and moreover excelling in my extra curricular with it. I’m building a company based on my course with a product on it, and all said and done, one sign I’ve gotten from the universe is that entrepreneurship is for me. So given what I have and what I can and have built(atleast to a basic level) though my course, with a team I’m going to upgrade it, create massive change, impact and gather immense growth, I know it, both monetarily and psychologically/ theoretically. Here’s the end of this rant, still sad, but I’ll make it happen:)
Thanks so much! I was so scared to commit just cos I heard so many bad things about social life there and there were so few vlogs of student life but ts video's honestly making me confident that waterloo is the right choice
I have been watching your videos since I started going to college, and you have been my no.1 study buddy. I have failed my most important exam 3 times in a row and I’m taking it again next week. We are gonna come back stronger 🫶⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you for being so transparent, I too recently got my results for my final year and I’m honestly so upset as my mental health has been at an all time low, and my degree grade is going to be a high 2.1, but knowing that I was so close to getting a first just hurts tbh :(
I failed my third year pharmacy osce last year despite months of studying, and thus I have to repeat the entire year doing one subject, despite passing everything else in the subject, I have my resit osce in a month and half, what would be the best advice to mentally prepare myself for waiting to sit my exam and get through, and how not to get nervous, and stay focused on getting through each station, without thinking about my past failures.
I'm happy you took the initiative to get therapy because you yourself felt that it would help you get through this difficult time. Failure is part of life, and although it may feel like years of education and commitment has been wasted, do not give that narrative power. As human beings there will always be some kind of difficulty coming our way but it's how we manage them and respond to them that really show what we're made of. Stay strong, stay focused, don't give up and continue having that support system whether it be through therapy or this channel or your friends and family.
Why do people encourage this toxic lifestyle? I once studied until 2 in the morning and slept 4 hours twice and I ended up getting sick from that ordeal. You need your sleep because your brain needs the time to perform maintenance otherwise this can hurt you real bad in the long run. Please, just stop encouraging this.
Notes for myself:- Chemistry: > Read through ur textbook before the lecture >During the lec,add in the info that the teacher is giving out >Include questions and examples to understand the application of the concept Biology: >Annotate the diagrams >(From the comment from @FatimaAli-fr4bo) Use the What Why and How technique,i.e,take a topics, write what it is,why does it happen,and how does it happen.
Me too I failed my most important entrance exam. Found a decent college, but looking forward to what has to come. It did hurt but at the end of the day life is not always highs and highs it’s a combo of highs and lows. Had my low now, time for the high!!
