It wasn't her fault honestly, she was called gifted by everyone. She was seen as the perfect kid who wouldn't do anything wrong. Though it wasn't actually that way, Rory had to pull all-nighters before exams just so that she can get an A, she even got a D on a test when she got into Chilton but she worked and came back to As. But she got burnt out because of the expectations from her. Everybody just expected nothing less than Harvard from her, she did as well. They expected her as perfect when she was learning too. So, when she went to Yale, she had all this ego and she couldn't get why she wasn't expected into Harvard? everybody told her she deserved harvard but then she didn't get there? And that was clearly not her fault, she couldn't take criticism because she never got anything like that when she was a teen. She was just "perfect" for everything. So, the ego resulted into a burn out. I felt sorry for her then, still she did a lot of dirty stuffs later that couldn't be justified just by her burnout.
2:20 we actually don’t need to skip this because we all sometimes have ups and downs while studying and it’s ok if after always getting good grades we’ll get a bad grade bc after all we tried, so many people are scared of trying or studying but we did it and that’s what it matters 💞
@@rosewalls8776^This. I read well over 100 books a year as a kid. I’m 60 now and I’ve read 32 books so far THIS year and it’s April. By far my favorite media - I don’t own a television.
She wasn't organised honestly, she pulled all-nighter all the time, day before exam, no matter how much she said that she gets things done before the weekend lol, paris is the one whom you can call organized, she just lacked social skills.
All this studying and hard work but what she really needed in the end was a backbone, perseverance, and to not let setbacks/failure stop her from moving forward. Let Rory's journey be a warning to anyone who is approaching their dreams like her
She had preserverence in the beginning tbh, she got a D in the test when she got into Chilton, she was ashamed but still continued doing her best, then she got a B and then, she was in As again..
I was like her my whole life but something tragic happened and i became unmotivated depressed. I am proud of myself for trying to get myself up even though I fail sometimes 😢
[● That's totally fine though So long as you keep picking yourself back up, it's okay to fall down sometimes. Just don't stay down. Keep getting up, don't let yourself be defeated by anything. Also remember to celebrate even the smallest of your accomplishments. Be proud of yourself for getting as far as you've gotten, and be proud of yourself for moving forward.]
Nah dude the same happened with me.... there's a lot that can happen that can tear you down later in your life....dealing with school is way easier than college.. college means you have to make decisions that will ductate your career and your future...it's a lot of pressure.....plus the pressures of being the perfect child becomes too much to carry....the moment you catch yourskef not being perfect you tend it becomes too much..rory was perfect, she was pretty and smart and had a group of loving family and friends ....the one thing that wasn't going perfect was her love life and the thing with perfectionists is that one thing not going their way will stress them out so much that it ruins everything else for them
She got into Yale and did well too, it was just her ego that got in the way later in the series. You can't say she wasn't successful, she just didn't meet everyone's expectations.
what helps me: i remember that Steven W. Hawking was REALLY BAD at math until he worked hard at it. You don't have to be a specialist or anything, but know you can do anything!
@@Meow_meowwwwYou need to have amazing grades AND an amazing portfolio to get into a good art school. And if you don’t get into a good art school, there is very low chance of ever making a successful career in art & design these days. It’s honestly sad.
i've never watched gilmore girl (i really have to lol) but i relate soo much with rory omg my mum is exactly like hers and me always studying and organizing my hw is soo true lmao
You should watch it, if you have a chance . This first aired in the early 2000s, loved it back then and it’s still popular now. They don’t make teen shows like this anymore.
I think it's a good reminder to actually rest enough for your body. And should definitely have fun in our lives! P.s. sleep helps you remember more later!
Was like young Rory my whole life! Got accepted in the best unis in the World and my country. Choose architecture school, the seconde hardest studies after medical school. Two years in and i realised that i was wrong being so OBSESSED w/ school. I needed constant validation but for what? Just a tap in the back, consider as a trophy to my parents, a lot of jealousy, anxiety, a lot of night stands, not happy ect I thought to myself: i will be happy when i graduate (in 8 YEARS!!!), analyse my teachers who are successful architects and i just saw burn out and the constant need for validation. I talked to them and wooow this is not the life that i want! Their hapiness is so limited and influenced by their professional life! They can't spend much time for them or family even their newborn baby! In the end, the only thing that matter is hapiness. I regret making such a big deal about grades since primary school, regret putting myself under so much pressure (also i am poor, a poc, immigrant child and the smartest of the entire family). I should have keep it lighter. It is not the end of world if i do not have always good grades even if i put sweat and tears in my work. It shouldn't hurt that bad if i do not have always a good grades. Today, Al Hamdoulilah, i am free from all that. It feels like i was never really alive before. Take care of you
I hear her when she says she feels so stupid and ignorant about not being satisfied with the number of books she's read. I look at the list of classics I know and love and pat myself on the back, but when I've seen a list of how many there are out there still, I dive back into a bookstore. Edit: I also have adapted to bringing a whole book bag with me everywhere. Am also her in packing said backpack.
I never feel more motivated as much I feel after watching rory from Gilmore girls ................ her worry but her future damm ...... it's freaking good .... ik the fall down as I have seen the full ..... Series but ...... to ignore it and if we focus on her teenage so .... she was so wonderful.... as a student!!
My next semester of nursing school starts in August and I really want to study over the summer these next 3 months to mentally prepare myself and idk why but Rory really motivates me to study
I just can't how can she go on reading so much like we have more in life to do? Along with studying, we have to focus on other things too. But the thing is it's hard to find people like that around you. She's lucky to have them, her mother, her friends, her boyfriend and all.
Exactly, people get burnt out eventually. It happened to me. I would spend my whole time reading and studying. I would do that instead of going out with friends.
i loved rory, i really did.. but i got real jealous, real quick... her life was too charmed, too perfect... her mom was so cool, so witty... and she was so gorgeous with her clear blue eyes and pin-straight brown hair... at one point i was so insecure, i just couldn't handle watching it... she had 2 handsome hotties fighting over her, it just wasn't fair... i had no friends, no social life, felt extremely undesirable, my teachers made me feel stupid... i will watch it again, when i have time and feel better about myself
They should’ve showed more scenes of her in action and excelling in classes. We barely saw her inside classroom especially in Yale where they mostly showed the paper.
I was so sad when they ended the show with a girl, who rather than keep up her hard work and learn from her mother's mistakes, instead quit working hard and ended up with the same mistakes and more (being a homewrecker as an example). There was so much wasted potential to make a good girl, who had real personality and relatability, and was cut out for hard work and ended up in a happy relationship (or none at all) but instead she just stopped her momentum and started sliding backward.
I love Rory... 😍😍😍 I would like so much to be like her, that intelligent girl, but I'm not lol 🙃 I find it so hard to study, i have no concentration, and I feel so dumb sometimes I hope that things will change, and that I will be a successfull lil woman 🦷🙏
Anyone remember that Simpsons episode where Homer becomes a hippie, and finds the mural that featured his portrait as a baby? That said, I like to imagine this Rory saying to later Rory, "How could you let me turn into you?"
I wish I watched this show earlier into my education bc it really motivated me to study but by then i was in my last few months of highschool so it didn’t make much of a difference
Thinking about my A-Levels gives me anxiety. I can't imagine sitting there for 5 hours and write that much. I'm afraid I'm gonna fail. But if I don't I wanna go to law school, which gives me anxiety as well bc there are two big a$$ exams of 5 hours each HELP ME😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Honestly, its more like an inspiration for burnout. I was never as good as rory but i also spent hour and hours, weekends studying and doing homework (mostly bc i work really slow and i need extra time), and still not being satisfied with the result. She was spread too thin.
That's funny but failing is not okay with me if I fail it's the end of the world and I push myself way over the limit to be better accomplished 😂 That's what I get for having super intelligent older sisters who can excel in sports while also exceling in school.
