Failure is how we grow!!! Don’t give up keep trying it’s okay

You need to find God bro. You act super zesty

Bro i am so cooked my exam is in 5 hours

What is the outro song>? Someone save me

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!!!😊

yeah im cooked

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:)

I'm so impressed with how you dealt with this difficult challenge. Well done and congratulations on passing the second exam.

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

Look into signing up Pharm Achieve. They were really helpful in OSCE prep

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 :(

Chem Chemistry Is not easy

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.

i really was a nerd idk what the fk is going on right now i finished my first exam today but ik i'll got an F

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!!

Jesus Christ loves you! Your grades doesn't determine your worth.

I really want to support you even if you wouldn't see this comment. I failed to of my exams last year and had to retake them. At first it also seemed like I have no chances of getting throught that and I generally was really devestated throught the whole summer break. But than time came to prepare myself for retake and now. I can confidently say that it was all for the best. I managed not only to pass this exams but actually understand subjects. I really get your frustration when you have to formulate your thoughts out loud cause all of my exams are oral and as dislexic it brings me a lot of trouble. But wee can get through that cause there is no way we aren't.

how tf am i supposed to do all this sh flawlessly over the course of 45 insignificant-ass minutes?

Dear fellow future pharmacist. Im deeply rooting for your sucess and you got this !!! Look at it from a different angle maybe you studied too much. The way those exams are made is to cover min for "any" pharmacist. That min could be different from one exam to another. It is not that you didnt study hard. Maybe you focused a lot on details. Take a step back and I know as an A type personality I learned that asking for help is not a strength. I kicked that mentality and I asked maybe 3 to 4 students to study together weekly and spoke with pharmacist to give me directions on how to study better. Good luck to you and me as I prepare for my Naplex

Thanks for the tips, for me getting in chem major it's really hard, because i'm not that smart and fast to understand the chem, especially the lab report took alof of time to do and 2 of the lab reports require to written on paper instead of tpye on words, and shorten my study time.

I 100% understand how you feel, the medical field is no joke compared to other programs where you can just “retake a class no problem” this is years of sacrifice that could go down the drain and failing totally messes with your mental especially when it’s a field that you actually enjoy. I’m a physical therapy student and I went through so much struggled a lot, tears were shed out of frustration, but morale of the story don’t EVER give up. "A setback isn't a failure, pick yourself up every time you fall, difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations". 🙏🏽

I know the feeling unfortunately. It feels like all your plans get changed in front of you in just seconds. But I know in my case it was humbling, and I wouldn’t be the person I am today if everything had gone according to plan. It’s a great time to reflect but don’t get caught in the trap of turning that into ruminating. Everything will be fine and this time in your life will one day become an event that happened but not something you feel emotional about anymore

I didn't do good last semester and things are looking up this semester, however I still don't have amazing grades. I'm really scared to apply to colleges and I don't want to settle for anything below my dream college. I'm going to try my best and pray that miracles happen.

I don't usually comment, but I wanted to thank you for your transparency. I've just completed my second year of my Bachelors in Zoology/Biochemistry, and my GPA is real shit because I had a really rough start to university in my first year, and it tanked by GPA (seemingly eternally imo). I'm crawling back out of my GPA plummet (last term's was ~84 when my first year's last term was ~74) but I still feel like a failure. I'm aiming to get into vet school or grad school (with very particular labs preferably!!) but both of those things feel like impossibilities with how poorly I do at uni currently. Seeing others fail does NOT bring me joy, but it gives me comfort and it gives me hope. Thank you :)

im from poland and want to study maths - today i had my high school math final which determines which college i get into and it went miserably. i studied all of high school and really REALLY tried this last year - i mean i really sacrificed a lot for this exam and i have no idea what to do. i understand you completely - i kind of let maths define me and my self worth so when it didnt work out for me i felt like i had nothing in my life that i was good at or could take pride in. i dont know how many points i scored or what will happen but academic failures are really heart breaking and its incredibly hard to get back up on your feet, but i hope all of us will get what we need and deserve in life❤️

I got my acceptance letter on 5/13

good info very good excellent in fact

I studied every topic except one weeks before my exam and that particular topic came but what can you do :/

Essays are fun, speak from your inner conscience and let the words flow to a successful paper.

It's okay Nathan🥺. You have came so far in your degree! We will support your major comeback of being the academic weapon. Hope you have a healthy mental recovery. You're a survivor!❤

James charles ???

He speaking right I just ignored what I didn’t understand last years and it start to pop out in every tests now

1 mark. 1 more mark in bio and i wouldve gotten my desired grade. It hurts so bad man. It hurts so much. All year i skipped hangouts with friends to study. All my friends hung our and had an amazing time yet they still scored better. Im proud of them i really am but it just hurts so much

Please accept the Gift of Salvation God has for you so that you can have eternal life with Him in Heaven and not in Hell by 1.Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and Saviour of your life ✝️ 2.Believe in your ❤ that God raised Him up from the dead, defeating death and hell 3.Repent (turn away) from your sins!! The Heavenly Father will give you the Holy Spirit to teach and guide you!! May the Heavenly Father bless you and have a wonderful day :))

I had an exam i studied so hard for, only to realize that most of what u read did not come out in the exam and i vot a very bad grade. I want to be a doctor and everything is falling apart cause this grade will really tell on my gpa and this is horrible. i feel so so stupid

No worry, failure will make you have successful future, keep trying to make it done pass of your exam.

its funny how a pharmacy student promotes a company that's known for its scummy practices. shows that no one does research when getting sponsored and just care about the money.

I really need help 🤦🏻‍♀️ I can't make myself study due to my health and stress, exam is in two days I have three subjects, biochemistry, biophysic and BEC 16,16,11... lectures.. and they've got alot of slides... I haven't studied three lectures of BEC... I have studied 8 of biochemistry And only 6 of biophysic 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ This exam has 120 questions 😭 i really am stressed

Hey Nathan! Sorry to hear you had to go through this! Failure is nothing to be worried or ashamed of, it's just an annoying step towards success and how you immediately pivoted emotionally to realize that so quickly in your video is obvious. Keep your chin up 😄 Better luck on your 2nd try!

last year i failed just one pharma osce in my first year finals and had to give a re test.. i was shattered and questioned myself if im even worth studying medicine.. But here I am in 2nd year of med school and I've passed all exams .. and now i have 2nd year finals in a month and hopefully i pass this time. ofc finals of first year haunt me but i will give it all. this gave me comfort that im not the only one.. 🥲

3 hours for 1 chapter?? It takes me 8… idk what I’m going wrong

praying for you, i really hope all goes well for you! you are are such a hard worker and inspiration. May God bless you abundantly

Very nice Nathan 🙌🏼

If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room. If you haven't felt stupid, you haven't studied STEM. Failure is a normal part of life. It's what you do after you've failed that defines who you are. Allow yourself to feel your emotions and make a plan for moving forward. You belong in pharmacy and you'll be fine!

Okay I know that you are in uni so it’s different but I am in middle school and my best class that I normally do amazing on and normally 100% on just started to slip within the past few weeks and I got a D and an F that brought my grade down from a 100% to an 81%. I know that a lot of people say that middle school grades don’t matter but I feel like a failure and idk what to do because everybody has seen me as being good at that class.
