    “Everyone understands everything just fine…” no girl, EVERYONE feels exactly what you’re feeling. They’re just really good at hiding it. You are not alone. Go talk to some of your classmates. You’ll be fine. You can do it. And definitely talk to a therapist, a counselor, a friend!

    I am at the end of my first semester as a law student. At first, I was a mess, feeling like everybody around me was so much smarter than me but with time and with the help from friends, I accepted that I was here to learn, and therefore it was okay to feel like I didn't know what I was doing. Always remember that everyone is special and has something unique to offer. There are other options besides quitting, but be respectful of your limits.

      @@Junebug-xm9ui if you happen to really like social studies I recommend, in the first semester all courses have been about social sciences, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and even economy, I'm aware this will change from uni to uni, but here they make sure you really understand the structures behind the society we live in before going into the heavy legal and procedural stuff, although we had some technical courses like theory of the state and theory of the constitution
      sometimes the subjects we discuss can be pretty grim which is a bummer, but we have to adapt law to what reality really is and reality sucks, so... but is cool to know that things can get better with a little work
      I think is also important to mention that I study law in brazil and have little idea of how different things are in other countries, but generally is sort of an art, a dance between moral and law, of self and social, pretty cool stuff

    Man this takes me back to my first week of film school, filled with existential dread, wondering what I was doing with my life, feeling like an imposter. I never ended up working in film, but I met the people who would shape the next 30 years of my life, some who are still great friends, and had some of the best times of my life. No regrets! Seeing your big portfolio made me laugh remembering what a pain it was to carry that thing across campus in upstate New York winter. Was like having a sail! Best of luck Camilla. You have way more discipline and talent than I had, You're going to do great. Savor every minute of it.

      @@livflr My best friend from college got a job setting up a video production department for an ad agency and got me hired as director of videography (the department was just the two of us). It was mainly corporate video. While there I got into 3D animation (early 1990's). We left after three years and started our own company. Demand for 3D was high so I did that full time. That lasted for 25 years. Now I do 3D product visualization and marketing images for a large furniture company. Even though I taught myself 3D (it didn't really exist yet when I was in school), a ton of stuff I did study in school has been very useful. Composition, framing, visual language, color theory, film theory, video editing, etc. My major mixed in a lot of art and photography classes which ended up being really helpful, as did having the opportunity to learn computer graphics and animation at that first job. Good luck! Following your passion doesn't always take you where you expect, but it can still be somewhere you like being!

    What I learned in college (I’ve gotten two degrees- in person classes) is that people “appear” to know what the professor is saying, but no one actually does. Everyone is just as insecure as you and they’re probably calling their friends/family saying the same things you are. You’re there to learn and it can be really intimidating! You’re really wise to say you’re going to give it some time before making any decisions to leave the class. You’re going to do great! And your art is fantastic ❤️

I know this feeling of u wanting to drop off but as u said it just see how it is gonna go for this semester, enjoy it ,give it ur best , work hard ,do all ur projects and the most important thing just prioritize ur mental health and ur wellbeing over school cause Ik this time when u pull an all nighter to finish a project before the deadline but plz don’t overwork yourself, so you won’t have the worst mental breakdowns . Make new friends ,and enjoy your time and try to get along with the college and like it I know it requires a lot of work and sometimes the lectures don’t make sense but it is just how it is everywhere, I wanna tell you that you are an inspiration to me and OMG the joy I felt in my heart when I saw the notification.

  • @monkymoo6726
    @monkymoo6726 9 місяців тому +110

    awww girly you got this!! i just graduated from art school and lemme big-sister you through this.
    first off: no one knows what's going on in art history, don't worry. everyone's just nodding along and pretending like they've heard these words before, everyone just pulls BS out of their ass - especially in the first couple of weeks. you got this :)) and it'll get easier as you learn more - you're not gonna fail, promise. (also, cute that you're doing the readings - naive and new to art school LOL, (it's not going to last LOL, you'll give up on readings by midterms haha))
    2. i feel you on the drawing class! and if/when you do painting classes - OOF; you ruin sO many clothes. I ended up wearing the same outfit every week to that one class because i simply did not have enough clothes to change my outfit throughout the semester
    3. don't stress girl about not having supplies - you probably know now but especially in the first day, most profs will (usually) be understanding if you don't have all your supplies- they know that a lot of students are trying to get the same stuff, so a lot of times art stores run out, so they usually have extra. if not, i'd always help out other classmates if they needed something, and most will feel the same, yall struggling together
    4. we all procrastinated. we all said "im going to do this entire assignment today to get it out of the way" and we don't even start it. it's normal, LOL enjoy the luxury of the first week where the consequences aren't that bad yet and you aren't that busy yet
    5. sorry to say, but the feeling of wanting to quit, isn't going to go away, i litearlly went through like 4 years of saying every day: "why am i here?" "why didn't i go into engineering?" "what am i going to do in the future" "this is so stupid." "I need to leave" -- but guarantee, a lot of the rest of the school is thinking the same thing; just gotta shift the perspective every once in a while and think about it like ... heY YOU ARE GOOD AT THIS, IT'S GOING TO BE STRESSFUL FOR A BIT, BUT YOU'LL GET THROUGH IT! Just remember that you like art, you enjoy drawing and making things and don't get all caught up about pleasing profs/instructors or being embarrassed in front of your classmates and let yourself just enjoy the process.
    6. don't worry, you're not going to fail. only people i know that ever failed a class in art school are ones that didn't show up, didn't finish their work, or didn't hand anything in. as long as you submit somETHING - you're not going to fail.
    7. be proud of your work more often! the assignments might be stupid sometimes, and they might be pretty meaningless, especially in your first year when they're teaching you a lot of basics, but make sure you are genuinely proud of at least one of your assignments at the end of each semester. i know a lot of people that went through a whole semester and couldn't find 1 piece that they liked. critiques can be gruelling and demotivating sometimes - you're not always in the mood to be roasted, and it sucks when you thought you'd done well and then get a lot of harsh critiques. so even if it's just a small part of it, maybe you just like the top left corner of this painting, or the colour palette of something, make sure you're proud of at least something. if it helps, make it a tradition to look through your art at the end of the semester (when you're probably going to be cleaning your room after making a mess of it throughout the last couple of weeks), to sit down with all the art and look through it, see how far you've come and find something you're proud of, and one common thing (keep it to 1) that you don't like and want to improve on (ie. anatomy, colour palettes, dynamic composition, etc.)
    and something that I wish i considered before going into art school:
    keep all your work. even if you hated it or you hate the outcome or did very bad on the grade, keep them, you'll be happy you did in the future when you look through it again and see 1. how much work you really did over such a short span of time, and 2. how far you've come.
    you got this girl!! good luck this semester :)

    I’m a new sub and I’m 53. I went to college at 30 when both of my kids were in school full time and I felt the same exact way! I came home from school every day and told my husband I was going to quit because I’m too old and I wasn’t smart enough. Well, like you after the first week I only broke down in tears towards finals that first semester. Then in the 2nd semester I remember crying when my kids got chicken pox and I had to miss a week and was so stressed out about it and the last time was when my husband was injured at work in another state and I had to miss another week. It literally got better each semester and by the time I graduated I had a 3.8 GPA. So this long message is to say cry when you need to but don’t worry - you will do amazing!! ❤

    Im currently a junior in art school, honestly i wanted to drop out for the first year and a half lol. I think the first 2-3 semesters were pretty hard for me because I felt very confined by the topics and it got a lot better once I was able to do some topics I actually really enjoyed. Even though I did not enjoy the first 3 semesters I still learned a lot. If you are a perfectionist, I recommend trying to get out of that mindset because I drove myself crazy and had horrible art block because I was trying to make every drawing perfect. Also I found it very important to make time for personal artwork too. Art school can be extremely stressful and its really important to make sure you are able to do things you enjoy outside of school.

But you'll eventually get use to it if you stick to it, it will get better. I was very intimidated by everyone in my classes cuz i thought they were better than me and the moment we worked with paint after drawing in charcoal for about 3 months i was panicking big time, everyone else's paintings looked so professional. After i survived the first semester i was back to my "don't care about anything" attitude just went about it normally

    You’re there to learn!!! Everyone’s there to learn. You have in INSANE talent, but you’re still learning, and that’s okay. It may feel like everyone’s better than you, but everyone’s at a different level. School is a place to grow and learn so embrace that and try your hardest. 💗

    Your video sent me back to my art school days. Each emotion, that stress, the overwhelming notions and the haphazard nature of life is so real and traumatic to revisit. I am here praying for you and sending loads of love your way. You are a survivor, you will power through this like a humongous Amazonian tree, standing tall and towering masha Allah

    im a senior in undergrad rn and i promise you it does get better!! the first few weeks of school are always tough for everyone, even if they dont show it, so just keep pushing through and eventually you'll find your groove. part of going to school is learning new things and you wont be great at everything which is fine! you'll learn what you like and dont like which is a great thing to know earlier in life.

    This really made me feel at ease. I feel like everyone around me already knows everything and I'm clueless, but you made me feel less alone. I've been going for a couple weeks at my school and it's consumed me, the first week was definitely a ride. But, this is honestly such a accurate depiction of college that I haven't seen from any youtuber in a while. You're going to slay it up and survive, you got this !!

    lol this video was such a mood to me in my first semester in art school, overwhelmed, screaming internally, feeling behind everyone, and generally being a complete mess. and trust me its always a tough beginning, but i can tell u it does get better! currently a 2nd yr animation student, it gets easier from here, trust me

    Honestly girl u are doing great! I'm in my second year of graphic design and i relate to wanting to drop out and constantly comparing myself to others. I think making good friends is key to surviving lol, bcz they can relate to your feelings and make u feel less alone. Seriously enjoy every moment bcz it does go by so fast💗💗

    hey Camila I'm majoring in architecture as a freshman and I swear we had the same first week experience lol. I showed up to class not knowing what to bring, we played with paper to discuss "space" and "gesture", we had a massive supply list that left us all broke, and I have that same Bristol paper and cutting mat to make models. Good luck to us both!

    It could be very stressful and very depressing, but you can do it. Even if you don't believe it, you can do it. It's okay to rest and take time to breathe, and it's really okay to cry. I cry a lot when classes and homework overwhelm me hahaha. But you can do it, take some time to recharge and then do it. I send you a huge hug

    Just graduated from art school this May, started watching this thinking it would be nice to have on in the background while I do some work. Turns out it was TOO relatable and reminded me off all the trauma of year 1 😅😅 hang in there girlie. It gets better!!! Try not to compare yourself too much to your peers because I promise everyone is feeling exactly the same way. You are exactly where you need to be right now ❤️ trust the process

    HI CAMILA ! Omg ur art studio work is so similar to architecture like the objectives and stuff from my first year
    I’m a third year architecture student out of a FIVE YEAR PROGRAM (dies) and my first year was literally horrible people around me knew the software and picked it up easily and I was DYING so I feel u on that whenever u see others learn the stuff more and ur just like what .. 😀 I also got diagnosed with adhd my first year so 🤓 YAY! It was hectic TRUST . But ur paintings of negative & positive space my first year we had to 3D model a design and figure out the space from that 3D model and CAST IT WITH FOAM AND CONCRETE IT WAS CRAZY so you’re not alone and You WILL GET THRU THIZ ! It’s your passion and you love it it’s just a different environment and a whole different state romanticize ur life in rhode island being a city gal 🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Hi Camila! I totally understand when you tried to follow your professor, that was me throughout my college journey. You deserve to be there, it’s just the imposter syndrome hitting because you are far from home. I don’t know much art but i know many others on this channel can agree that you are amazing and creative. I wish you the best and send positive vibes! and don’t forget to take care of yourself🎉

    UR DOING SO GOOD CAMILLA!!!!! omg I’m off to art school too soon and I’m feeling the nerves now… make sure to look after yourself first and don’t let the work get the best of you. I loved these two sort of weekly vlogs as a format - and I also think it would be fun if you kept on vlogging some of your big assignments (sort of like how you did before) Don’t let UA-cam take over just for our sakes tho 😭 but it’s great if you can use it as a motivator/video diary for you to look back on :) take care and we’re all wishing you love xxxx
