you'll get there eventually king!!! rooting for you! :)
🥺👉🏽👈🏽
I am still rooting for you. I know for a fact that your grit will help you long term. Have you thought about software engineering any stem degree in general puts you on top of the pile and you don’t necessarily need a degree to get the job too.
Thankfully I made it out this year! Maybe a new video is overdue...
Software engineering is an interesting path that pays well and is stimulating, but personally not for me. Over the years, I think I've grown more towards civil service or advocacy type roles that allow me to make changes - it's quite an odd world we live in! Hopefully I can find a middle ground that lets me use my technical field in an "impact" type of role, but time will tell how that journey pans out.
@@jordanebert3313 That’s great to hear you finally made it out of uni. A follow up video would be awesome. On average people have many careers so the more exposure the better. A degree is still a legit degree even if it takes you longer. Congrats man.
Will be cheering extra hard when I see you finally cross the finish line. Looking forward to seeing you cross it
2024 on everything
Bro.... I genuinely wish you the best in terms of accomplishing graduation and this degree because your resilience is amazing....
It may sound like a set back but maybe consider seeing if you can change your degree and apply those passed modules into a degree (convert into a joint subject - talk with your academic advisor) where the modules you are taking you can actually perform at your best at the exams and assignments and make things a bit easier for you to get a degree and actually pass (trust me engineering will not differ from business or something else to an employer THAT much) I didn't even know that SFE could stretch that much.
Maybe consider degree apprenticeships or look for schemes tailored towards students with your difficulties (all those retake years probably would have benefited applying to getting experience to balance out the amount of time taken to finish the degree).
I feel like failing 4 times and still being able to attend is amazing and I guess bristol are really generous with understanding your situation and maybe you are taking advantage of that too much - you can't predict the future but you do know how academic you are or lack thereof by now and if factors like this such as family and the pandemic affect you that much maybe even a break would have been better - it seems like you're not really trying and not learning from it and the 'reasons' all sound like 'excuses'.
I truly feel like failing second year should have been a wake up call that maybe something is wrong.
I failed my first year in 2018 and that was a huge wake up call for me in terms of my life priorities and goals and now I have a grad job and a masters and I sincerely wish you the best because the amount of cash loss is probably not worth it, especially when you probably have peers who didn't take the uni route and have internships and are actually working in a company you will probably get in at entry level with a degree that took TOO long to obtain.
I like that you admit that you got comfortable and I personally think if they kick you out it will finally make you see some 'sense' and you do seem to be on the grind even with youtube and I can tell you're more consistent when your doing something you like.
Honestly, Good luck in the future! ( hope my thoughts weren't too critical but this video was giving too much of a cry for help that I feel like you needed an outside perspective to truly see where you are right now and if this university is 'worth it' )
Wow that's a very well curated comment haha, thank you! I completely agree with what you've said here. Lowkey, I allowed myself to feel content with 'failure' as I knew that I was able to accomplish so many other things with my time, be it CZcams content or completing internships, but really I should have been focusing on getting my work done instead of complementary side hustles.
I guess it was easy to feel hard done by regarding my circumstances, no less due to their timing & proximity to exams, but you're right about those fundamentally just being excuses. I think the overbearing financial stresses gave me something of an out in terms of where I put my energy, but in hindsight a gap year/break would have been helpful in suppressing that! I suppose I'm a manifestation of the sunk cost fallacy at this point, but here's to a strong year to see it out.
Something that's helped me a lot recently was The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, effectively a reminder that our life circumstances don't define our behaviour in any given moment, moreso how we react to things! Admittedly that's a very brief and incomplete summary of the book, but something I found interesting no less.
Congrats on graduating and securing a grad job & masters!
This is crazyyy. Don't know how you haven't given up. You actually inspire me to stick with college (I hate it and do everything last minute even if I haven't failed yet). But before I got into college I went through so much bullshit. Failed exams. Failed a year of A level. Failed a year of foundation. Barely got through repeating foundation and only got one uni offer. First semester grades were great but I suffered mentally. Semester 2, worst place I have ever been mentally in my whole life. Grades suffered too. Trying to figure out what to do moving forward now. A nightmare.
I had no drive to do any of the work and I am scared that will repeat next semester. I am trying to figure out how to work around this. Or maybe the course content will get more interesting and I will actually want to do the work (studying psychology btw)
For me, the only reason why I haven't given up is cause I fundamentally believe that the future I want is only (or at least, is easier) achievable with a degree. I've struggled a lot cause an engineering course is challenging and I know I don't necessarily need an engineering degree, but the difficulty is I've come far enough on my course to know starting again isn't really worth it, even if it's more enjoyable in the short term!
I can't say I recommend completing a degree generally speaking, but I think the uni experience is pretty great (assuming students can continue to afford it!) so that's something... Either way, one thing that helped me was making a decision to continue and committing to it, so maybe it'd help to write down some reasons for and against repeating the semester and maybe dropping out if it makes sense
@@jordanebert3313 You're a gem. Thank you.
I'm watching these videos back to back 😭.
appreciate you 🤣
Sorry bro, only room for one drop-out in our friendship - 2024 grads soon come🙏🏼🙏🏼
Well you've got me there
Hey jordan, i need some advice. So i think i failed 4 out of 6 modules in my second year of uni. I had covid in first semester and was rlly ill so i failed 2 modules and this semester i was just stressing so i may have failed another 2. Will i be able to resit the year or will i be kicked out? Thanks brother
The exact rules will vary for each uni so I'd ask someone in your faculty to be sure, but you can usually retake a few exams over summer. It's unlikely you're only given one chance to pass but make sure you submit an extenuating circumstances form so the university exam board can consider your situation when marking your assessments! Try not to stress too much, I imagine the worst case is retaking the year instead of getting kicked out but make sure you check with the uni
@@jordanebert3313thank you bro. It turns out i failed two modules out of 6 in the year so i will have to resit those two in august probably. Thanks for the help appreciate it👌
Not bad at all! Good luck with the resits, I have one myself, so here's to a strong summer 👊🏽
Are you doing an integrated masters? so third year isn't your final year where you write a dissertation? I'm in fina year and haven't performed great, and from what I've researched it seems you can't resit your final year if you fail it?
Yeah I'm in year 3 of 4 so there's some flexibility I guess. I've heard similar things on final year but I don't think it's so black and white, like if you pass they won't let you try again but I doubt they'll kick you out if you have genuine reasons for underperforming
How long did it take you to get diagnosed and get medication?
I have a video on this with all the details, but in a nutshell started the process in May, got diagnosed in October and funnily enough am still waiting for updates on medication. There was an 18-week waitlist when I was diagnosed, so hopefully by April I'll have started on the titration process
Not a fan of this arteta slander ngl
😂😂 this was recorded before the season started allow me
