One of the few popular RU-vid I see that aren’t all about clickbait. Hope you’re okay with non-stem majors lurking, trying to self study- I’ll buy your Merch once I’m in on the jokes :)
I support you and your content and the idea of you getting sponsors and making more is awesome because I know student loan debt. I'm starting undergrad at uni this year and it's a super expensive school, so if I was ever able to make content as awesome as this and get some extra money to help me pay off my debt by doing it, that would be brilliant!
My personal favorite is when you ask what topics you should focus on for the final and the prof lists off every topic you've covered all semester. lol.
"All of them are on monday" My university has a policy where you can move a final to a different day if you have multiple finals scheduled for the same day Really wish they had told me about that before I was one semester away from graduating
@@YaamFel My school has a policy where you have to talk with the professor about a month in advance if you have 3 or more finals scheduled on the same day. You specifically have to talk to the professor who teaches the course with the highest number on the same day. Like say you have math 333, phys 488, and chem 213 on the same day (I made up random numbers) then you'd have to talk to your phys 488 professor and see if they'd be willing to move the exam It isn't super common, but I think they try to move the entire class time, not just change it for one student
I have a “brother” who has had a whole host of surgeries and crippling diseases (my logic is the crazier a story is the less likely they will doubt) and has also died several times. He has saved me. Thank you brother
I used to always get stressed during finals week. But I have a plan for what I'm going to do when it rolls around this semester. I'm going to sit in a corner rocking back and forth and watching this on loop while mumbling "You're not alone, everyone suffers. You're not alone, everyone struggles. You're not alone, having a mental breakdown during finals week just means you're a true STEM major". Edit: my plan didn’t work.
2:55 "Imma start handing out exams; it is 17 pages, there is a formula sheet on the back of page 6 flipped upside down. Please don't rip any pages out" damn Andrew got me good there
3:30 On three separate occasions I've been 40+ minutes late to a final exam due to oversleeping. I got decent but not great grades on the first two, but on the third one my professor was a total G and put me in his office so I could have the full allotted time. He felt bad that I had fallen asleep while studying in a study room 20 feet from the exam area and I didn't even ask to be helped... that was honestly the only reason I passed at all. One of my favorite professors
I remember when my professor who was denied tenure the quarter that I had inorganic chemical synthesis with told us the final was open book. I brought the bible of inorganic chemistry book written by Cotton and Wilkinson to the exam and then he announced that he meant open book was the lousy textbook he had forced the class to buy that was overpriced and written by the head of inorganic chemistry in the dept. and was useless to everyone.
Oh my goodness, the asking if you had studied something right after saying you’re in a delicate stop then asking them to leave hit too close to home! I both laughed and cried a little inside remembering my thermo final last semester.
For all the times I reminisce and wish I was still back in college, this is a solid reminder of why I wouldn't be. Like no joke you captured a very real stress and anxiety ridden time period that I apparently just blocked out lol
@@truepotential206 Keeping a beard trimmed and neat looking is actually not very easy. I mean. My beard is about the same size as his in the video, but looks really unkept.
honestly, the worst part of finals week isn't the getting tested part. The worst part has to be waiting for your professor to finally post your grades so you can actually just mentally move on from the class.
"I'm at a very delicate point where I feel like I'm prepared. But if I find out that there's something I'm forgetting..." I literally just completed my first term and this is scarily accurate.
“I just feel like i’m really prepared but if i find out there’s anything i don’t know... Look i’m gonna have to ask you to leave” i’m CRYING laughing this is far too relatable right now
crying AND dry heaving oomg. i am very glad my final period was spread out over three weeks. even having more than 3 finals in a single week was enough to send me into a spiral of panic. only once did i have 2 finals in one day and luckily it was first year programming + earth science so in retrospect that was a breeze
Hey Andrew I also want to go into physics (astrophysics) and these videos are super motivating! Good to see that not all physics majors are 100% miserable or out of touch (as according to nay-sayers in my class). Pretty cool stuff, keep it up :)
*This video basically summarizes:* that moment you tell people you let your beard grow this long just to try a new look, but you just needed that one sponsorship
So true how Physics teachers are always extremely quick to respond to your emails, unless the finals are coming up in which case they completely forget about the existence of email right until a few minutes before the exam.
These are great. In a 'so real it hurts' kinda way. Comforting to know we're all going throigh the same thing, regardless of country. Filmmaking advice though, you 'cross the line' a lot with your back-and-forth dialogues. When filming a 2-person dialogue, imagine a line connecting the two characters and don't cross that line with the camera when turning around to film the other half. Person A should be looking to the left and Person B the right. Makes it seem like they're actually looking at each other while we're an observer standing in one spot, simply moving our head back and forth.
Isn't it kinda ironic that Andrew got a sponsor to shave off his beard even though we know nobody wanna mess Dr. Theodore's bushy beard. huh... Makes me wonder.
I'm getting an English degree, but I still relate to this on a spiritual level. My soul's very atomes resonate in sync with every single exemple you gave. My finals start in three days.
Our college made it so if you had 3 finals or more on one day you can get them moved. If you have multiple on the same day many colleges have made it required for profs to allow students to do them a different day if they have too many.
Heh, when I studied we would form spontaneous study groups before an exam and did tests from previous years and some people learned more during a few hours then over the entire semester. Also, it wasn't over after one exam per subject; there were second and third terms for each exam, so you can forget about summer and winter vacations.
I'd love to see you and Jens (papa flammy) in a reenactment scene form Good Will Hunting...the lake side taster's choice moment for guys and the knocking off terms at the blackboard with a finished head rub.
I think you had one too many people in your video haha. My favorite thing about finals week is that everyone leaves you alone and you can walk campus undisturbed. Except for that one time my RA said our test got moved up a day when I wasn't in class. But I have anxiety around people, so that could be just me haha. Cheers to a fellow Italian
Have you ever gotten that one question that's just so general it could mean several things and when you ask a teacher if the can explain what it's asking they say" sorry I'm not at liberty to discuss anything on the test"
