really relatable! im doing film (and french) rn. im about to finish up first year and then drop out. i feel like i am just gonna finish 1st year for my own peace of mind and so that i dont feel like ive wasted all this time now (8 months) and then in the future i can say to myself 'i completed one year of uni.' i had a good time socially at first, (2 of my flatmates dropped out in nov and dec and then socially i just felt very lonely after that) but i also didnt feel like i was learning anything and the course bored me. it just didnt feel right. no clue what im going to do for a job after i drop out this summer, but i know that uni isnt right for me. i know if i stayed id just feel like i was wasting my time and going into debt for no reason. i dont have any desire to work in the film industry in the future either. i agree with everything that you said. it was really nice to hear from somebody who had a really similar experience and feelings, so glad you figured out what was best for you and were brave enough to take action, ive felt this way for months but have been to scared to actually drop out
I kinda feel like this too. Coming back now in January, so far I’ve not felt happy at uni and want to drop out when I finish first year. But I’ve got no idea what I would do if I drop out
I’m homeschooled and my mom found a college that I can get in at my age 15 :) and I’m really clueless rn and I need help! 😭 anyone got some tips for me? There will be people my age aswell I’m not the only one
Hi Maddie Thanks for this video. I can relate, my son with your experience. He is in the process of dropping from a university this term from film TV and English studies and it is not an easy job , especially when you need to think when give your day of dropping. I would like to ask you about accommodation. The contract says it's for a year, if he leaves before then, he will still be paying until they find another student for the room. That looks cruel to me. How was it for you? Any sort of advice...Please
I was literally the same I locked myself in my room now it makes sense why my roommates was in their rooms the whole time. Sadly I went home straight away when I went to uni my anxiety got so bad so fast it was really alarming 😅
Ahhh thank you so much for being so open in this video Maddie ❤❤ I was wondering where you’d got too & I greatly missed your content… however, take all the time you need to recover - putting yourself first now, just means the content you create for us will be amazing when your fully back 🎉🎉💪🤍 Big love to you xxx
Hi, a bit random and personal but I dropped out of uni after 1st year I did drama but I hated the course and my mental health was really bad as I had moved to Birmingham at 18 to get away from my life but now at 22 going 23 I really want to be a primary teacher, I’m thinking about reapplying for university but Im scared that financially I will not get student finance, just wanted to know any advice please 🙏🏼
Hey, I would recommend calling student finance and asking them, the advisors are very kind so just explain your situation, but I'm pretty sure that reapplying for student finance should not be an issue. Dropping out and reapplying is more common than you think many people after their first year realise that the course they are doing is not for them. Also, primary school teaching is a great idea. Honestly, i see no reason why you would not get funded.
Honestly I just want a fresh start because in year 7 people get to know you obviously, but when you change their thoughts about you don’t change so to them I’m still that weird kid
@@jesssimmonds4116 I won’t argue with u then lol. I’m doing physical geography with an integrated year in industry. What type of law would u want to go into?
I can relate to this soooo much and even though I’m going into 2nd year, these are still things I wish I knew before moving. Omg I felt soooo lonely last year xx
This is a great video idea and I loved hearing you explain everything that’s changed in the past year. There are sooo many things I would go back and tell my past self x
I'm going to a college like the week after next week and it's in London and I don't know anybody there which is making me freak out. However, this helped. My biggest fear is not getting along with anyone. 😭
Got mine today, I got a distinction overall for my first year as btec is done differently. So I'll get my certificates, so I'll probs get 4 certificates that correlate to a levels
It looks so fun i wanna go now😫 I went when i was younger and can’t remember anything about the trip! (Also in the clip where you show the outside of the green house you can see carrie hope fletcher and scott paige come out and my theatre kid self went crazy😭 sorry just thought i had to add)
