@adararelgnel2695 So what? Let not the fear of having no time restrict you, especially by age. Imagine being told it's too late for college because you're 23. Should already know what to do at 17. Too old to start dating because you're 30. Waste of time to seek an education at 50.
This song is not exactly the precedence of depression, it’s something similar, but quite different. It’s mostly because it focuses on the thoughts on what makes someone sad, or to wonder what makes themselves sad.
My dad always told me "You better enjoy your young days, later, life will punch you in the face hard. So leave your young days with no regrets. Don't worry about being called a weird kid, just be happy." He's a Great Dad. Rest in peace dad.
Starting college for the first time later this year. Ill be 26. People always acted like i was nuts for not immediately rushing off to college for something. I always told them i just wasnt ready to make that kind of serious decision yet. Don't feel rushed to pick something or do things that people insist you should. Take your time. Im very happy with where i am and actually looking forward to what ive set up for myself now. Im much more stable and able to do things on my own.
Turning 26 this year and just started college in Feb. I'm super glad I didn't jump into it from HS. Choosing to learn and being expected to learn has been a major change for me. I actually care about what I am doing now. I say take a break from school. Don't jump right into more school.
I'm almost 26 and was pushed into college after going through high school expecting not to survive into adulthood. I have no useful education nor a "career." I've traveled a lot and have a wife I love, so I gotta remind myself that living is the important thing.
I'm about to graduate from college with my first degree. I'm 31. There really is no right time to start or finish. Everyone is different and we all move at our own pace while trying to discover who we are.
Hey mate. I just wanted to say thanks for this comment. I'm 24, and I've been wanting to start college, but I got it in my head that I missed my window and that there's no point anymore. Examples like yours help me a lot to see that I'm wrong about that.
I relate so hard to the "I don't like breaking rules but don't like doing as I'm told so I just float around..." like, I can't even begin to describe how much I relate to this, lol. IT'S SO CONFLICTING 😂🥲
Right? I feel it as, the rules suck and I hate following them, but I don't think breaking the rules would be worth it for the benefits I get out of it.
"Everybody's telling me that i'm doing so well, i try to trust them honestly, i find it hard to tell" and "i tend to forget i'm still only quite young" are THE MOST RELATABLE LYRICS EVER!

I'm 26 and I just started going back to school because of a free tuition program in Massachusetts for people 25 and older. But I think that college is not a measure of intelligence or success, i think i used to think that way when i failed out the first time. But everybody has their own paths to take in life, and there are still ways to be successful. Try to remember your worth and try to fight for your happiness, see where that can take you.
Same homie, I'm going back this year. I am 30. ITs never to late. I just started getting comfortable with myself, lost some relationships I needed to lose and gained some back I didn't know I wanted. I'm learning about myself. Still tired, anxious, ADHD and troubled. But I'm getting there. You will to. From another awkward 30 year old, song still describes me. But I'm working on it.
I am young compared to these in comments or the song itself, yet I can kind of feel the message this song is trying to give me. I am still young, and I can see kids saying that life is hard, which is paradise compared to what I am living... And I have a whole high school life and college life... God bless us
@@pobles577 Yeah, I have no right to compare the weight of deadly challenges that kids used to face a century ago, only thing I know is that most people, doesnt give a hell about that, and forget the horrors of past which is not going well Look at the antivaxxers, they think that vaccines are fake, yet people feared least fatal diseases some centuries ago

Imagine my surprised when I’m just scrolling CZcams shorts for some quick laughs and I’m graced by one of the most beautiful singing voices I’ve ever heard.
I’m 22 but for years whenever someone asks me “where do you picture yourself in 5 years?” And my consistent answer has been “6 feet underground” which I obviously don’t say out loud and just say “I don’t know.” Edit: I’m honestly surprised to see the amount of respondes this got. It feels somewhat comforting to see other people sharing their experiences too, I appreciate the people who commented with their own experiences and those who also commented with suggestions :)
22 years old too and consistently having that exact experience/thought... I don't want to have to make plans for my future I just want to be okay for now...
@@FiveEyedRaven I'm 27, the experience doesn't really change, just add mild alcoholism and you can feel your parts wearing out like an overused roomba as you approach 30.
@terrancemuzic5157 Never forget about hope. It's okay to not know where you're going to go (honestly that can be exciting) but we need to hope and work for the future that the world has set for us.
Get help, please don't get to 30 before realizing that you will be here longer than you thought. Never having followed your dreams, or done the hard things that bring you to where you want to be. Where you really want to be of you have to still live this life. We all deserve better than that.
I'm two weeks into highschool and it's been a lot of fun but not everything is cool I feel like my life is done. And every body is telling me what I need to do, I tried to listen to them I find hard to do. I need rest to try my best to go out and say out loud to just sung and because I'm still young. In a way this life of mine has only just begun. I got time, I got time
this is a song to tell you that even if you have struggles with keeping up with good education, and other aspects. People that are ACTUALLY doing well can’t really find the reason why they are. Those people think that they are struggling too.. which they are! And it goes on and on
I think you're totally right, I think I might be at the time of my life where everything is good 😊 that makes me happy but I also don't exactly know why and it's difficult to know to hat on day it'll end, but maybe not (I hope)
I'm doing quite well with my education but honestly I don't know what I wanna do when I grow up and I don't feel to pursue what I learned in college. And honestly I don't know what I'm gonna do. I don't have any talent except to study and getting good grade. I hope someone can help me 😔
Lemme just get this out of my chest, "let a person experience there mistakes, don't always remind them or tell them cause every mistake a person made it becomes a lecture"
I remember that “I wake up feeling wired. I wake up feeling tired” feeling. The knowledge that I was so behind, no matter how hard I seemed to work. That I had a day full of classes, and then a night that would stretch until 2AM in the art building with my eyes burning and my hands caked in charcoal, ink, stinking of photo chemicals. And then I’d go to bed. And do it all over again.
I agree the only part I’m not relatable to is when she says I’ve got time that shit scares me I get anxiety attacks from thinking I’m running out of time
How do I relate to this so much? I’m only in high school right now. This is awesome. Edit: I’m only a freshman I am honestly scared of how this will escalate. I should probably stop taking all honors classes :/ I loved reading the replies! I think this is the first time my comment has ever gotten more than 7 likes lol
"I try my best to try to try my best" "I tend to forget that I'm still quite young" This is two lines hit me so hard. They are so true and I relate to it so much :°(
Yeah bro, the vast majority of people take more than one class a day. That could mean two or three lectures in one day. Or, hear me out, it was just hyperbole for the purpose of describing how the person singing feels
The conflicting needs for autonomy and structure. Confidence backed by experience is a powerful thing. It helps you seize opportunities. You'll have to make life unfold on your own strength, if you're able to work independently within a structure (rules)! set by more experienced people.
2 years out of highschool and I share all the same sentiments. We're trying our best, and figuring it out, one little step at a time. Would love to have the full song 🙏
When I listened to those lines I've got time I almost cried and idk why it just made me feel like I'm just stressing myself out for nothing because I do in fact have time to learn things.
WHY DOES THIS ENCAPSULATE MY SHORT COLLEGE EXPERIENCE SO WELL??? I had a semester of failure and stress and couldn't even afford the second semester, I was a mess for weeks.
Hope you are doing better now... I'll pray for you... (just so this reply doesn't start a war, the word PRAY implies wishing well and hoping for goodness, and doesn't necessarily need to be aimed at any particular god of any particular religion which might offend others)

@@Tiredmiata twas not my intent. And thinking about it, it was a bad decision. I was only trying to make a statement saying I know what they felt because I have a similar situation
@@chr.ist.ian_v2517 i feel you, only real option is try some stuff you could possibly imagine doing through eg internships. If you're American don't go getting a massive loan to study something you're unsure you even like. Otherwise try, it can never hurt. It's the only way one can learn about oneself. I know I definitely found out about what I DON'T like and bit by bit you can start seeing a path, even if you're bound to "fail", it's not bad. You never really do, it's the best way to learn
“Everybody’s telling me that I’m doing so well, I try to trust them honestly. I find it hard to tell.” I love that line so much, it’s so relatable to me We’re told that we’re doing great, but we just aren’t for sure if we actually are doing well or we’re just being encouraged.
My dad gaslights me like this. If your life seems off, it is. Find mentors (professors and professionals). Don’t rely on the therapists the school provides, they are still grad students. They can be a good sounding board, but they are just going off their own life experiences, they having “fixed” anyone before.
Tips for college: - Do community college first, then transfer to a University later. Your first couple of years will all be general education classes and classes for your degree that are very basic and any school will have, so do them at a much cheaper community college before transferring to the school you actually want and the credits will transfer with you. - Take as many classes that start later in the day as you can. Whether you plan to party or not, you’re still gonna kick yourself for taking early classes - Learn as much about the campus before school starts as you can. Every school gives tours of campus for incoming students, take one. - If possible, don’t live on campus. Look for any rent listings nearby, students will almost certainly be renting out a house and need another roommate. It’ll be a lot cheaper than the cost of the room and board you’ll have to pay when you’re done with school. - Speaking of roommates, you won’t like having them at first. Roommates can and will be frustrating to you, even if they’re very nice and get along with you eventually you’ll get tired of living with them. That’s okay, and you aren’t a bad person for not wanting to live with them after a while, just hang in there and remember the good things about them to help. - Try to meet/talk to as many people as you can. This can be at parties, but also just at clubs or in class, in your dorm building, etc. Most schools now will even have a Discord channel or something similar that you can join, same for the clubs. - If you DO plan to party, make sure that somebody knows where you’re going, make sure you have a plan for a ride back, and don’t drink anything you didn’t watch get served to you. Always keep your cup against your chest, if they have a “candy bowl” (bowl full of random pills) please please PLEASE do not take from that. Doing some drugs can be fun, but please do them safely. - If you have chances to visit home, try not to take them often. You’re gonna miss home, a lot. You’re gonna feel like your childhood is over, like your life is over, like you’re never gonna get to be home again, but that’s what EVERYBODY goes through. I promise you aren’t the only one, the less you run back home over weekends or days off the better. The best way to fight that feeling is to let yourself enjoy being away, let yourself stay at school as much as you can. - Remember to take a breath and remember: you’re doing okay. Sometimes it’ll be fun, sometimes it’ll be stressful. But that’s just life, college is giving you a chance to start learning how to tackle adulthood without leaving you to the wolves, so when it’s getting hard or scary just remember that you can push through, it WILL be okay. - Look up as many of your books online as you can, because almost always there are ways to pirate them. And don’t feel bad for doing this, the university makes a bunch of money anyway. Sometimes you’ll get a tenured professor who’s cool and will straight up list the websites you can use for free books, otherwise just look online and you’ll find something. - If you can get a part time job, do. Looks good on a resume but more importantly it will get you the cash to buy gas and food, and often times the school itself will have work programs that make sure it doesn’t conflict with you schedule. - Go do the things you aren’t sure you’ll like, now is the time to find yourself. You never know if you actually might like something, and if you don’t you always have the power to leave. - Remember that things are almost never as good or as bad as they seem at the time. This has already been true and will continue to be true for your whole life, the bad times will seem like the worst and the good times will seem euphoric and better than anything. Just remember that like all of life, you will keep moving forward and these things will eventually pass. The breakup will pass, the bad grade will pass, the hangover will pass. Do not be afraid to live because you might go through bad times later, it is the bad times that give the good their meaning. You need both sunshine and rain for the flower of your life to grow. Edit: Okay, three things: 1. Yes, the first thing is very specific to the kind of major you want, try to find out what kind of classes you’ll need. 2. For many people college just isn’t worth it anymore, and that’s fine. You don’t have to go. 3. “Do drugs safely” -> Talking about weed and shrooms, gang. Don’t do hard drugs, but shit like that is common and very safe, safer than alcohol.
I agree with everything on this list, but me personally I wouldn’t recommend taking MANY classes in the daytime 🤕 you could possibly get overwhelmed, it’s best if you could do at least three classes at most OR even four (I’m taking three classes and everything is going very well😼🙏)
@@irjectadeThat’s the final thing on the list I forgot to add: If you don’t think college is for you, that’s fine. You can learn basically anything and everything through the internet, for a lot of people that juice just isn’t worth the squeeze anymore. If you need time to decide, take it.
thank you I really appreciate this message ❤ as someone who's about to go into college later this year. this actually gives me a bit of hope! I hope to use this as a way to motivate myself to push forward! ^^
I agree with all but the first as a general rule. The experience and connections you make at a University are far more valuable than at community college and you should, if possible, not miss out on having/making those in the first couple of years. This applies double for STEM degrees (probably law and medicine, too, but those aren’t my experience), where extracurricular experience in teams and labs is invaluable to have even in the first two years. However, if you are daunted by University and want community college experience to get used to it, definitely makes sure the credits you are offered will transfer to your university of choice and that the course structure allows you to graduate on your intended schedule. For example, some course chains may take three years to complete that don’t have any comparable credits to your community classes.
I really relate to the line with how Colin describes it as he wants to be hers because that’s how I’ve thought of trying to start a relationship is me offering myself up to someone so that they could find they want to do the same for me. Mutual selflessness is a key to happiness.
“ I tend to forget I’m still only quite young. ” This line is saving me so well from my anxiety and warms my heart that there is still ways to live, I’m not going to die because I failed my test.
Though brigging the realism that you might not llve another day, it's also unlikely that'll happen. It might but you gonna forget that. So really keep going doing what you can.
Im 35 and long done with my education many years ago I hate to say it but that feeling doesn't go away it only changes and as you get older you get used to it.... The best and worse is yet to come as it does for everyone stay strong 💪☺️
As someone who recently graduated college, you absolutely nailed the feeling that surrounds you. Whether it’s the first day or your third year in you often just question if you’re doing the right thing or not.
Yeah epecially if you're going to apply to a super competitive grad school. You just meet someone super impressive, and think "That's one spot less", and then you hear everyone's doing what you're doing. I mean fuck, and everyone's saying you're doing good, but that means nothing at some point. Then you hear of some super crazy hacks that you missed out on. I mean fuck again, I know three people who got into top 15 colleges with mediocre applications through some stupid program and lying about their financial status. One person's parents had off-shore bank accounts. There's a famous story about it in China. Two students are duking it out in their college classes. One is barely 10th place while the other is 1st. 1st place gets everything he wants, grinds his ass in hard-to-get positions, and eventually gets a respectable job. 10th place comes back from an overseas program, gets a great internship, and is given a management role, bossing 1st place around. 10th place had their parents set their path while 1st had to fumble around himself.
For me, it's the third year. I feel like everyone around me seems to know what they're doing while I'm still just being irresponsible and unproductive.
@@bluyu no one knows what they’re doing and people that say that they do are faking it which has value as well. You’ll find your path, everyone does one way or another. It just takes time.

The depressing starts are played on such a lively keys almost as a way to mask it, and once the energy shift the keys are played emotionally that just emphasize the positive aspect of life. The composition is truly a masterpiece, thank you for sharing it with the world.
That line saying " I try my best, to try my best" hit hard. Sometimes, life in college can get overwhelming and it feels like you can only give everything 5%. You want to do your best and you know you can do better but it feels like your giving all you have. If you choose to push through it and really try your best (giving more than what you think you can), you'll get through it better than ever and have more confidence that you CAN do it. And this applies to life and not just college. Life can get tough, but we CAN do this!!!
I mean, when you have 20 things to do.. then five percent is the best you're going to be able to do. You wouldn't blame a child for being unable to lift 200 pounds, would you? No, if you needed them to, you'd have them do it five pounds at a time, and do some of it on different days. Even then, it seems that child should never have to do those things. Be gentle with yourself, but be firm.
Felt it hard. Turned 20 two weeks ago and it hit me harder than I thought. I know I’m not old but I just feel like things are going so fast and I’m still feeling scared about actually graduating
I feel like everything about this is accurate, axcept the part where "i just sleep in when i'm old"... More than a decade out of university, and i'm still struggling to get that sweet sweet "i got enough sleep" feeling 😢 Edit: for spelling mistake
More kids need to hear this. I didn't go back to college until my 30s, when the kids were older and could not burn the house down if we were both gone for a bit. It worked out. It's never _easy_ but the real trick is to set little goals _and keep moving, one step at a time._
I went off to college 12 years ago and I remember this feeling like it was yesterday. Probably because at 30, I still feel like this sometimes, just about different things.
I am dying cause I can relate so much to "Everybody's telling me that I'm doing so well. I try to trust them honestly, I find it hard to tell." there's always such a good feeling when you find a song that relates so fricking much to you. I'm about to enter college and I'm so afraid. and it's good to know that I'm not in this alone.
Having been through it already. And gone to grad....do YOUR best. It's not about what you achieved, it's about being able to look back on it and say you honestly tried as hard as you could. That's how you make sure you lack regrets. I did a lot of things. Some panned out, some where dead ends. My health got bad later and some stuff I had been working on was suddenly not an option. So much changes over time. But I can look at my actions with pride and say, I always did the best I could. And when I didn't, I learned from it and grew as a person. You can do it. ^_^
it's been the exact oposite for me. when I was in school my family always thought I would not amount to anything. I've proved them wrong by being sucessful and now even after not being in school anymore I still take a some of my time to learn new skills that I never would've thought of even WANTING to learn.
I felt this in my soul. The power to make someone feel heard and seen should never be underestimated. Edit: never thought I would be one of these people who would thank people for a large amount a likes on my comment. Remember that most bad feelings can be relieved by having pleasant experiences with people. 😊

I'm almost 26 and was pushed into college after going through high school expecting not to survive into adulthood. I have no useful education nor a "career." I've traveled a lot and have a wife I love, so I gotta remind myself that living is the important thing.
I'm about to graduate from college with my first degree. I'm 31. There really is no right time to start or finish. Everyone is different and we all move at our own pace while trying to discover who we are.
good luck buddy! i wish you the best
Hey mate. I just wanted to say thanks for this comment. I'm 24, and I've been wanting to start college, but I got it in my head that I missed my window and that there's no point anymore. Examples like yours help me a lot to see that I'm wrong about that.
(❤️ if you want part 2)
That was amazing it’s like you just song my last story, 😮

💘💝💖💗💓💞💕💟❣️💔❤️🔥❤️🩹💓❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please
I relate so much
I relate so hard to the "I don't like breaking rules but don't like doing as I'm told so I just float around..." like, I can't even begin to describe how much I relate to this, lol. IT'S SO CONFLICTING 😂🥲
Right? I feel it as, the rules suck and I hate following them, but I don't think breaking the rules would be worth it for the benefits I get out of it.
@@MrSoAsian225 exactly! I'm also really shy and overly polite, which doesn't help my case, lol!
That's also just so me, I don't want to listen but then my brain tells me that I ma bad for not listening, then I just yeah float
@justaloserrr RIGHT?? I feel like a walking contradiction sometimes, lmao!
Same tho
"Everybody's telling me that i'm doing so well, i try to trust them honestly, i find it hard to tell" and "i tend to forget i'm still only quite young" are THE MOST RELATABLE LYRICS EVER!
"I don't like breaking rules but don't like doing as I'm told so I just float around..."
I RELATE TO THIS SOOOOOO MUCH-
The melody and harmony sounds so well, truly beautiful
its a I - V - vi - IV progression with a couple passing chords its nothing special
@@stanleychingwho said it was special sis? They are just giving an opinion
@@stanleyching hes saying the voice and the music matches so well it's heart soothing so it's just an opinion so don't judge
@@piligay6969They said it is “truly beautiful”. Why would something be beautiful if it is not special for the person that posted his opinion for everyone to see.
@@bennimarusama1047He never said that the music and the voice matches. He never said anything about the voice, simply the melody and harmony. He is just giving his opinion on an opinion.
I'm months away from 30, long since failed out of college, and it hurts how strongly this still describes my day to day feelings
Awwwwwwwwwww. I hope you feel better soon I feel you I've been there too got through it though.
Think you want to go back?
Felt this deeply.
I'm 26 and I just started going back to school because of a free tuition program in Massachusetts for people 25 and older. But I think that college is not a measure of intelligence or success, i think i used to think that way when i failed out the first time. But everybody has their own paths to take in life, and there are still ways to be successful. Try to remember your worth and try to fight for your happiness, see where that can take you.
Same homie, I'm going back this year. I am 30. ITs never to late. I just started getting comfortable with myself, lost some relationships I needed to lose and gained some back I didn't know I wanted. I'm learning about myself. Still tired, anxious, ADHD and troubled. But I'm getting there. You will to. From another awkward 30 year old, song still describes me. But I'm working on it.
I am young compared to these in comments or the song itself, yet I can kind of feel the message this song is trying to give me. I am still young, and I can see kids saying that life is hard, which is paradise compared to what I am living... And I have a whole high school life and college life... God bless us
You do know 15 year olds used to go over seas to war I think people have been pretty spoiled.
@@pobles577 Yeah, I have no right to compare the weight of deadly challenges that kids used to face a century ago, only thing I know is that most people, doesnt give a hell about that, and forget the horrors of past which is not going well
Look at the antivaxxers, they think that vaccines are fake, yet people feared least fatal diseases some centuries ago
@@pobles577Spoiled? Did you go to war? We've created a world where most people don't HAVE to go to war. That's a good thing.
Also people generally weren't fighting at 15, get your facts right. You sound like a Boomer who thinks "kids these days" are soft and weak.
God bless the world indeed

I’m 22 but for years whenever someone asks me “where do you picture yourself in 5 years?” And my consistent answer has been “6 feet underground” which I obviously don’t say out loud and just say “I don’t know.”
Edit: I’m honestly surprised to see the amount of respondes this got. It feels somewhat comforting to see other people sharing their experiences too, I appreciate the people who commented with their own experiences and those who also commented with suggestions :)

@@FiveEyedRaven I'm 27, the experience doesn't really change, just add mild alcoholism and you can feel your parts wearing out like an overused roomba as you approach 30.
@terrancemuzic5157 Never forget about hope. It's okay to not know where you're going to go (honestly that can be exciting) but we need to hope and work for the future that the world has set for us.
Get help, please don't get to 30 before realizing that you will be here longer than you thought. Never having followed your dreams, or done the hard things that bring you to where you want to be. Where you really want to be of you have to still live this life. We all deserve better than that.
23 here and I feel the same way ahhh
I'm two weeks into highschool and it's been a lot of fun but not everything is cool I feel like my life is done. And every body is telling me what I need to do, I tried to listen to them I find hard to do. I need rest to try my best to go out and say out loud to just sung and because I'm still young. In a way this life of mine has only just begun. I got time, I got time

this is a song to tell you that even if you have struggles with keeping up with good education, and other aspects. People that are ACTUALLY doing well can’t really find the reason why they are. Those people think that they are struggling too.. which they are! And it goes on and on
I think you're totally right, I think I might be at the time of my life where everything is good 😊 that makes me happy but I also don't exactly know why and it's difficult to know to hat on day it'll end, but maybe not (I hope)
Why u describing me? Im a first year college but idk how im pulling through lmao
I'm doing quite well with my education but honestly I don't know what I wanna do when I grow up and I don't feel to pursue what I learned in college. And honestly I don't know what I'm gonna do. I don't have any talent except to study and getting good grade. I hope someone can help me 😔
You do know 15 year olds used to go over seas to war I think people have been pretty spoiled.
This song perfectly captures the struggle of young adulthood. So relatable and beautifully sung.

Lemme just get this out of my chest, "let a person experience there mistakes, don't always remind them or tell them cause every mistake a person made it becomes a lecture"
"everybody told me that im doing so well" is my most favourite part
I remember that “I wake up feeling wired. I wake up feeling tired” feeling. The knowledge that I was so behind, no matter how hard I seemed to work. That I had a day full of classes, and then a night that would stretch until 2AM in the art building with my eyes burning and my hands caked in charcoal, ink, stinking of photo chemicals.
And then I’d go to bed. And do it all over again.
It's okay just stay determined❤
thats it, that part. and then i wake up and do it all over again. the monotony of life really, really gets me sometimes.
Don't mean to be that person buuuuuut

@@The_pumpkinCatdo u even know what "wired" means?

The conflicting needs for autonomy and structure. Confidence backed by experience is a powerful thing. It helps you seize opportunities. You'll have to make life unfold on your own strength, if you're able to work independently within a structure (rules)! set by more experienced people.

If you're American don't go getting a massive loan to study something you're unsure you even like.
Otherwise try, it can never hurt. It's the only way one can learn about oneself.
I know I definitely found out about what I DON'T like and bit by bit you can start seeing a path, even if you're bound to "fail", it's not bad. You never really do, it's the best way to learn

“Everybody’s telling me that I’m doing so well, I try to trust them honestly. I find it hard to tell.”
I love that line so much, it’s so relatable to me
We’re told that we’re doing great, but we just aren’t for sure if we actually are doing well or we’re just being encouraged.
Good line. I think it's "“Everybody’s telling me that I’m doing so well -- I try to trust them. Honestly, I find it hard to tell.”
My dad gaslights me like this. If your life seems off, it is. Find mentors (professors and professionals). Don’t rely on the therapists the school provides, they are still grad students. They can be a good sounding board, but they are just going off their own life experiences, they having “fixed” anyone before.
Es precioso tener buenas personas que nos animan a caminar. La vida es preciosa!!!
It is true though because when it comes down to it nobody can really judge our progress
Me too

Tips for college:
- Do community college first, then transfer to a University later. Your first couple of years will all be general education classes and classes for your degree that are very basic and any school will have, so do them at a much cheaper community college before transferring to the school you actually want and the credits will transfer with you.
- Take as many classes that start later in the day as you can. Whether you plan to party or not, you’re still gonna kick yourself for taking early classes
- Learn as much about the campus before school starts as you can. Every school gives tours of campus for incoming students, take one.
- If possible, don’t live on campus. Look for any rent listings nearby, students will almost certainly be renting out a house and need another roommate. It’ll be a lot cheaper than the cost of the room and board you’ll have to pay when you’re done with school.
- Speaking of roommates, you won’t like having them at first. Roommates can and will be frustrating to you, even if they’re very nice and get along with you eventually you’ll get tired of living with them. That’s okay, and you aren’t a bad person for not wanting to live with them after a while, just hang in there and remember the good things about them to help.
- Try to meet/talk to as many people as you can. This can be at parties, but also just at clubs or in class, in your dorm building, etc. Most schools now will even have a Discord channel or something similar that you can join, same for the clubs.
- If you DO plan to party, make sure that somebody knows where you’re going, make sure you have a plan for a ride back, and don’t drink anything you didn’t watch get served to you. Always keep your cup against your chest, if they have a “candy bowl” (bowl full of random pills) please please PLEASE do not take from that. Doing some drugs can be fun, but please do them safely.
- If you have chances to visit home, try not to take them often. You’re gonna miss home, a lot. You’re gonna feel like your childhood is over, like your life is over, like you’re never gonna get to be home again, but that’s what EVERYBODY goes through. I promise you aren’t the only one, the less you run back home over weekends or days off the better. The best way to fight that feeling is to let yourself enjoy being away, let yourself stay at school as much as you can.
- Remember to take a breath and remember: you’re doing okay. Sometimes it’ll be fun, sometimes it’ll be stressful. But that’s just life, college is giving you a chance to start learning how to tackle adulthood without leaving you to the wolves, so when it’s getting hard or scary just remember that you can push through, it WILL be okay.
- Look up as many of your books online as you can, because almost always there are ways to pirate them. And don’t feel bad for doing this, the university makes a bunch of money anyway. Sometimes you’ll get a tenured professor who’s cool and will straight up list the websites you can use for free books, otherwise just look online and you’ll find something.
- If you can get a part time job, do. Looks good on a resume but more importantly it will get you the cash to buy gas and food, and often times the school itself will have work programs that make sure it doesn’t conflict with you schedule.
- Go do the things you aren’t sure you’ll like, now is the time to find yourself. You never know if you actually might like something, and if you don’t you always have the power to leave.
- Remember that things are almost never as good or as bad as they seem at the time. This has already been true and will continue to be true for your whole life, the bad times will seem like the worst and the good times will seem euphoric and better than anything. Just remember that like all of life, you will keep moving forward and these things will eventually pass. The breakup will pass, the bad grade will pass, the hangover will pass. Do not be afraid to live because you might go through bad times later, it is the bad times that give the good their meaning. You need both sunshine and rain for the flower of your life to grow.
Edit: Okay, three things: 1. Yes, the first thing is very specific to the kind of major you want, try to find out what kind of classes you’ll need. 2. For many people college just isn’t worth it anymore, and that’s fine. You don’t have to go. 3. “Do drugs safely” -> Talking about weed and shrooms, gang. Don’t do hard drugs, but shit like that is common and very safe, safer than alcohol.
Woah, Definitely using this if I ever go to college.
I agree with everything on this list, but me personally I wouldn’t recommend taking MANY classes in the daytime 🤕 you could possibly get overwhelmed, it’s best if you could do at least three classes at most OR even four (I’m taking three classes and everything is going very well😼🙏)
@@irjectadeThat’s the final thing on the list I forgot to add: If you don’t think college is for you, that’s fine. You can learn basically anything and everything through the internet, for a lot of people that juice just isn’t worth the squeeze anymore. If you need time to decide, take it.
thank you I really appreciate this message ❤
as someone who's about to go into college later this year. this actually gives me a bit of hope!
I hope to use this as a way to motivate myself to push forward! ^^
I agree with all but the first as a general rule. The experience and connections you make at a University are far more valuable than at community college and you should, if possible, not miss out on having/making those in the first couple of years. This applies double for STEM degrees (probably law and medicine, too, but those aren’t my experience), where extracurricular experience in teams and labs is invaluable to have even in the first two years. However, if you are daunted by University and want community college experience to get used to it, definitely makes sure the credits you are offered will transfer to your university of choice and that the course structure allows you to graduate on your intended schedule. For example, some course chains may take three years to complete that don’t have any comparable credits to your community classes.
This art ia pure talent I love it!!!❤
I really relate to the line with how Colin describes it as he wants to be hers because that’s how I’ve thought of trying to start a relationship is me offering myself up to someone so that they could find they want to do the same for me. Mutual selflessness is a key to happiness.
*_”Everybody’s telling me that I’m doing so well.”_*

Speak for yourself.
As someone who recently graduated college, you absolutely nailed the feeling that surrounds you. Whether it’s the first day or your third year in you often just question if you’re doing the right thing or not.
Yeah epecially if you're going to apply to a super competitive grad school. You just meet someone super impressive, and think "That's one spot less", and then you hear everyone's doing what you're doing. I mean fuck, and everyone's saying you're doing good, but that means nothing at some point. Then you hear of some super crazy hacks that you missed out on. I mean fuck again, I know three people who got into top 15 colleges with mediocre applications through some stupid program and lying about their financial status. One person's parents had off-shore bank accounts. There's a famous story about it in China.
Two students are duking it out in their college classes. One is barely 10th place while the other is 1st. 1st place gets everything he wants, grinds his ass in hard-to-get positions, and eventually gets a respectable job. 10th place comes back from an overseas program, gets a great internship, and is given a management role, bossing 1st place around. 10th place had their parents set their path while 1st had to fumble around himself.
i’m in grade six hearing this makes me wish the future would be slower 😢 @@ethanchen4504
For me, it's the third year. I feel like everyone around me seems to know what they're doing while I'm still just being irresponsible and unproductive.
@@bluyu no one knows what they’re doing and people that say that they do are faking it which has value as well. You’ll find your path, everyone does one way or another. It just takes time.

But that’s just life, college is giving you a chance to start learning how to tackle adulthood without leaving you to the wolves, so when it’s getting hard or scary just remember that you can push through, it WILL be okay.
- Look up as many of your books online as you can, because almost always there are ways to pirate them. And don’t feel bad for doing this, the university makes a bunch of money anyway. Sometimes you’ll get a tenured professor who’s cool and will straight up list the websites you can use for free books, otherwise just look online and you’ll find something.
- If you can get a part time job, do. Looks good on a resume but more importantly it will get you the cash to buy gas and food, and often times the school itself will have work programs that make sure it doesn’t conflict with you schedule.
- Go do the things you aren’t sure you’ll like, now is the time to find yourself. You never know if you actually might like something, and if you don’t you always have the power to leave.
- Remember that things are almost never as good or as bad as they seem at the time. This has already been true and will continue to be true for your whole life, the bad times will seem like the worst and the good times will seem euphoric and better than anything. Just remember that like all of life, you will keep moving forward and these things will eventually pass. The breakup will pass, the bad grade will pass, the hangover will pass. Do not be afraid to live because you might go through bad times later, it is the bad times that give the good their meaning. You need both sunshine and rain for the flower of your life to grow.

Im obssessed with this song and im still in high school
Nice voice, great lyrics and neat animation. The song as a whole is well made
The depressing starts are played on such a lively keys almost as a way to mask it, and once the energy shift the keys are played emotionally that just emphasize the positive aspect of life. The composition is truly a masterpiece, thank you for sharing it with the world.
giving obligatory English essay. stop praising the bard
My mum: why are you listening to the same song over and over?
Me: 💀
And here I am, gonna send it to my daughter, cuz this will be her come Fall. 😊
its fire thats why
FULL VERSION!!! I NEED THIS ON EVERY PLAYLIST EVER!!!!
It reminds us to keep going on
That line saying " I try my best, to try my best" hit hard. Sometimes, life in college can get overwhelming and it feels like you can only give everything 5%. You want to do your best and you know you can do better but it feels like your giving all you have.
If you choose to push through it and really try your best (giving more than what you think you can), you'll get through it better than ever and have more confidence that you CAN do it. And this applies to life and not just college.
Life can get tough, but we CAN do this!!!
I mean, when you have 20 things to do.. then five percent is the best you're going to be able to do. You wouldn't blame a child for being unable to lift 200 pounds, would you? No, if you needed them to, you'd have them do it five pounds at a time, and do some of it on different days. Even then, it seems that child should never have to do those things.
Be gentle with yourself, but be firm.
Thanks for that
😮💨 well back to the grind then 🫠☕🌄
Just fixing it, its "I try my best, to try my best"
Felt it hard. Turned 20 two weeks ago and it hit me harder than I thought. I know I’m not old but I just feel like things are going so fast and I’m still feeling scared about actually graduating
Damn how is this the most relatable shit I've heard. Especially with the "i don't like the breaking the rules but I don't like doing as I'm told."
Love the song and Animation. Truly amazing 😢
Beautiful!. Don't sleep in time. Make the most of your life, you only get the one. Make it one you would wish no one would ever forget.
I feel like everything about this is accurate, axcept the part where "i just sleep in when i'm old"...
More than a decade out of university, and i'm still struggling to get that sweet sweet "i got enough sleep" feeling 😢
Edit: for spelling mistake
You'll get it someday!! ;w;
We can sleep in grave 😊
Someday you'll get it. I've been struggling with extreme fatigue for the past week and no idea what to do.
Except*
@@furioussnackmonster2043 thanks 🙏. My native language isn't English 🤣
This is so beautiful. The "I don't like breaking rules but don't like doing as I'm told so I just float around" part really hits me hard.
You know who else doesn’t like being told what to do?
@@TheBigBadRaven”MY MOM-“
ikr i feel it so much
ive never been hit so real bro
For real same
This rings so true for my 30 year old soul..
Simply gorgeous voice.
More kids need to hear this.
I didn't go back to college until my 30s, when the kids were older and could not burn the house down if we were both gone for a bit. It worked out. It's never _easy_ but the real trick is to set little goals _and keep moving, one step at a time._
I think more kids need to be told to stop being a bitch
I did
and having money helps, doesn't it.
Incredible how CZcams sometimes gets it right and recommends something spectacular 🥺💖
This is making me strangely nostalgic about college
I went off to college 12 years ago and I remember this feeling like it was yesterday. Probably because at 30, I still feel like this sometimes, just about different things.
I am dying cause I can relate so much to "Everybody's telling me that I'm doing so well. I try to trust them honestly, I find it hard to tell."
there's always such a good feeling when you find a song that relates so fricking much to you.
I'm about to enter college and I'm so afraid. and it's good to know that I'm not in this alone.
It’s true though, sometimes, throughout your whole life, you can be pressured to learn things that are too much, and overbear you.
Having been through it already. And gone to grad....do YOUR best. It's not about what you achieved, it's about being able to look back on it and say you honestly tried as hard as you could. That's how you make sure you lack regrets.
I did a lot of things. Some panned out, some where dead ends. My health got bad later and some stuff I had been working on was suddenly not an option. So much changes over time. But I can look at my actions with pride and say, I always did the best I could. And when I didn't, I learned from it and grew as a person.
You can do it. ^_^
Best of wishes to you as you continue on!
it's been the exact oposite for me. when I was in school my family always thought I would not amount to anything. I've proved them wrong by being sucessful and now even after not being in school anymore I still take a some of my time to learn new skills that I never would've thought of even WANTING to learn.
I've learnt more in the past 2 years than I learnt in my whole life and I am 24
People are too busy relating to the song to also appreciate this gem of an animation.
Well that’s the cuppa everyone is drinking right now.
I was looking for this comment 😊
Sometimes it feels like time will never let me catch up. Never waiting. Always going.
Love this video animation. Looks like Adventure Time art style too.
I felt this in my soul. The power to make someone feel heard and seen should never be underestimated.
Edit: never thought I would be one of these people who would thank people for a large amount a likes on my comment. Remember that most bad feelings can be relieved by having pleasant experiences with people. 😊
