college is rough: miserable at UCLA | Glowup journal 4

  • College is hard, but nobody talks about the mental and emotional struggles students go through.
    In this video, I'm going over some of my most vulnerable and stressful times as a UCLA student with the struggles I faced academically, physically, and socially.
    This video is very emotional and personal to me as it evoked some of my worst memories at UCLA facing failures in classes (failing an exam that I worked my butt off for), insomnia, weight gain, acne, and feeling the loneliest I've ever been and constantly filling myself with toxic thoughts that no one wants to be friends with me.
    The level of transparency I had in this video is to not discourage anyone in pursuing their higher education but to simply draw more attention to the fact that college might not be easy for everyone. Quite frankly, college (UCLA) could be quite overwhelming and could be stressful and too much for one's mental health.
    But it is okay to not be okay.
    As a crucial part of my glow up journey, my rough college experience taught me many invaluable things and motivated me to become more resilient than ever.
    Stay strong and stay you.

    Sorry for how emotional this video came out. When reflecting on my college experience, some of my most raw and visceral reactions were helplessly evoked. This video is not to discourage anyone in pursuing their college degree, but simply to shatter the illusion I used to create about how great and effortless my college life was. At the end of the day, don’t be embarrassed of your struggles, they are what help us grow.🦋

    I feel this so hard. I applied to a good majority of UC's, and got rejected from all of them. I then applied to the UofA, where I was accepted. Throughout my college life, I went through so many identity crisis' because I was an exceptionally well student in high school. My grades flopped so hard that I risked being removed from my major. Senior Year, I had the choice of continuing on with my major (which I absolutely loved) but graduate in a year or two, or transfer and start fresh. I chose the latter, and went to Nursing School. Now I'm still fresh into Nursing school, but my grades have been dramatically improving. I share this because in high school, the common vibe is "okay, go to the school of my dreams, major in something I want, and graduate in four years". Sometimes life has different plans, and part of growing is the ability to accept and move on. I wished I knew this, and knew the proper coping mechanisms, but its okay. We're thriving now.

    I really related to this ;-; I am currently attending UCLA and it’s amazing how alone I feel in such a big public university. I have three friends that I love dearly, but my anxiety and fear of falling behind classes pull me back from spending more time with them and meeting new people. I’m having a really hard time and feel like a real imposter. Seeing you overcome all that really made me feel like there will be a day that I will be happy and okay with myself 💜 so thank you 🥺💜💜💜

I’m right, you’re wrong. I’m smart, you’re dumb. And there’s nothing you can do about it.” all the time as a kid or teenager. Thank you for sharing! Adults just say college is hard but they never really explain what is hard about it. I just thought they were talking about the classes until I experienced it myself...

    I literally cannot with college. This has been the worst semester of my life. I have had so much stress and life changes. I moved out of my parents house, got married, and not even a month after getting married my father-in-law passed away unexpectedly. His death has really affected me and made me examine my own life. College just seems so futile to me now. Why am I doing this? What for? I want to spend time with my family, with loved ones. Life is too short for this. I cant take it anymore.

      So, you’re going to tell a grieving person that “life sucks, then you die.”
      That’s just really cold and uncalled for.
      Before you say, “sorry that’s life.”
      Well, “sorry” but to be an uncaring person and using philosophy to disguise only shows arrogance and crudeness.

    This video is so beautiful. I'm also studying in a prestigious school. In my freshman year, the second semester, I lived in a boarding house and had roommates. I could not believe it when I flunked two subjects---one major and one prerequisite. Because of this, I got a warning from my department, and I was devastated.
    I decided to go back home and commute for three hours every day in my sophomore year. In the first semester, I worked hard for this particular class, and I could not accept I still failed. So, overall, I failed three subjects. My heart was so broken that I wanted to cut off my communication with my friends. I wanted to be alone and just study. I wanted to move out and be on my own, but the pandemic happened. I am now in my junior year, and my adviser told me that I cannot graduate next year as I still have more subjects to take.
    Yes, I am still trying. At times, I could not put myself into focus, and I always feel guilty about it. I always feel worried, and I am always tired, considering that I am the only one who does the household chores, takes care of my father---who has cancer; and endures the sight of my sister who's addicted to video games and does not help.
    I feel so down and still want to cut off my communication with my friends and study, but it makes me sad because I feel like I always have to be there for them, so I could not simply do it. I just scheduled an appointment with my professor, who is also a clinical psychologist. Maybe, if I get into therapy, I'll become better, stronger, and more resilient.
    You are an inspiration to me, Zoe. I am genuinely glad I have come across your channel.

    Zoe this video is so relatable, and honestly I feel so many of us have been there. It’s so hard and sometimes I still give myself heck retrospect for not studying harder when my anxiety stress digestion and sleep were out of the window. My self esteem was also rock bottom, and the loneliness was so there because I didn’t think I was good enough for anything or anyone. Now graduated I hardly think about those times, but your video has also reminded me to reflect on my strengths and what I have gone through. This was like a video from a best friend and I am so happy to have seen it. Wish us all the best.

    Hi zoe, thank you so much for this video. I feel like this is the aspect no one talks about among college students. I still deal with intrusive thoughts worrying about my future. I constantly worry if I’m even smart enough to be an accounting major. I constantly worry that I won’t appear smart around other people in class, because I can’t process information quickly. I am literally so afraid of making mistakes. I still feel alone as well surrounded by so much people. All of this doubting myself has became so draining, but however it does make us stronger. I can see that it definitely made you stronger, and I know I will be stronger. We all deserve the best for ourselves ❤️

I guess I was putting too much pressure on myself as I want to make myself and parents proud because they are sacrificing a lot for me to be in college.

    Zoe, I feel your pain so acutely, I go to a small christian school and during my first semester of college I failed one of my nursing prerequisites. I kept forcing myself through the major and felt so lonely and sad during my first year. This year, my sophomore year, I finally decided to change majors from nursing to something I felt more passionate about and was more naturally geared too. I would definitely not say everything is completely better, and there are moments I feel really lost, but time is great healer and it's so helpful to know that other people have similar experience and can offer encouragement.❤

    I definitely understand the crushing feeling of your final grade not reflecting your hard work. This happens every single quarter at my UC. After a while, I got used to it and realized that I wasn’t the only one going through this and other people had it worse since they weren’t passing the class. But there are curves, and reaching out to free tutoring programs at my school as well as actively attend and get work done at office hours improved my work ethic and made me more engaged in learning

    I actually shed tears watching this, and it’s been so long since Ive been in a depressive state. Many other youtubers glorify college to make it appear as this easy-going, aesthetic living you’d live comfortably, but my reality is quite different.
    I grew up as a lower-middle class with average grades. nothing too special but a good range of A’s- Low B’s on most occasions. The scholarships and Financial Aid is important since it’ll cover my entire education till I’m through, and just thinking how I might jeopardize that because I’m not smart like the rest gives me anxiety.
    Im a freshman, but already I feel alienated from my peers. I’ve made many mistakes in my past assignments, and it still sticks with me on how I messed up, and what’s worse is that others would do 10x better while my efforts are tossed in the garbage.
    Having no one there to talk with also takes a toll on my health. Even though I’m an introvert, it sucks having scarcely anyone to talk with. I’m grateful for the one friend I’ve made and couldn’t ask for more, but it hurts when I go to class and nearly everyone refuses to associate with me.
    It’s hard adjusting to a new life like this as if dirty roommates aren’t enough to drive me insane. They aren’t bad people, but are inconsiderate and get too comfy thinking they can do whatever to the dorm.
    I wanna cry but never have the time too till now, and it felt relieving. I may not be as bright, but I get through with hard work. I hope EVERYTHING I’ve been through pays off, and I’ll never have to deal with this shit again in the future

    • @minhduong2930

      I know how you are feeling... College is nothing like high school where you can get a B or even a C and feel okay with it. With college assignments, there is no clear pass criteria and you can never be sure if you do good or not. And it's such a scary experience.
      Friends in college are very much based on mutual benefits, and it's hard to find someone to talk to...
      I search for emotional support on youtube and internet a lot, and actually find people with the same situation, but after all I realize no one can help me through this tough time other than myself.
      Be strong ☺ I'm sure better days will come. Our life have just started.

I failed today. My financial aid is gone. Any dreams I had for the future seem like just dreams now. And I really don't know what the point in me still having a life is. So I can live a harder life I was trying to stay away from? Idk. Glad it's working out for you

    This video was beautiful because it shows you and your responsibilities to yourself First. Without you taking care of yourself first and your personal issues (a therapist) you can't function which means things start going down hill and they did.
    You look so much better, happier and you look healthy sweetheart. Your first year in college and even your second year can be very frustrating, hard to deal with you feel alone and lonely. Its the adjustment period you'll go through. I feel like you're doing it😃👍🎉
    and that makes me so happy for you. You aren't alone in your feelings. Two good things happened for you #1. You seen a therapist good girl 😁
    and #2. You got the heck out of that dorm room🙄 and into your own place. Things will change for the better for you now watch and see dear. I'm wishing you all the best life and school have to give you. Yes it was tuff at first but things will get better as you get a handle on your life.
    Take care and I wish you well🤗💕👍🎉 your an extraordinary young lady Zoe☺
