COLLEGE FINALS WEEK | I think I FAILED MY EXAMS despite becoming the MOST PRODUCTIVE STUDENT

[@NathanWu]

Thank you for all the encouraging comments. You’re all such kind souls and I’m so grateful to have this online family 🥰 PART 1 - COLLEGE FINALS WEEK: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6vaoYh_ib91ppI 🥹 next week is the LIVE REACTION TO MY FINAL GRADES 👀

Can't wait

[@majakostadinovic3]

Thank you for sharing so important video

[@khalilahd.]

I think as long as you know you tried your best that’s all that truly matters and as a type A person I know how cliche that sounds but beating yourself up for failing something you’ve worked really hard on doesn’t help. Sometimes these things happen and it’s best to focus on things you can control. I believe in you Nathan! 🙏🏽

Hey Nathan ! , just wanna thank you , honestly I had a breakdown few hours ago and watching your video comforted me , thank you for that buddy , I can totally relate to you , sometimes this happens with me too , even after working so damn hard , the exam doesn't go well but I truly hope you do well in your grades and also loads of virtual hugs and love from my side ❤🥰

Virtual hug 🤗

[@everythingandnothing3362]

bruh ur so real for that stomach issue. i literally get low stomach acid when im stressed and frickin heartburn

[@brahlex]

this was a great exam vlog! i love how transparent u are with ur viewers, that’s why i love watching ur content so much ✌️i think it’s really normal for every student to get burnt out and exhausted at one point and i really like how ure okay with showing us that side of u even though ure a study channel😎 please get the break that u deserve, i think we’ve all been witnesses to ur hard work and u definitely deserve to enjoy now. all the best, i hope ur hard work does pay off in the end!! 🥂

[@NathanWu]

You’re such a kind soul. We will react to my grades together next week 🥰

[@evazara3107]

OMG this video is like relatable to every student. I literally have no motivation but I have prelim exams so I totally get that feeling of lacking the motivation and being out of it but I am trying. Honestly, Nathan I think you will do great and I think what is great is that you managed to realise your mistakes after the exam because that means you do know the subject well

[@NathanWu]

I never thought about it that way. Interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing

““Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28-30 this verse rlly helps me a lot esp with all my anxieties with school and i just pray you just find rest during these stressful times in school ! 🥰 just remember you’re not meant to carry burdens on your own!!

[@NathanWu]

Love this verse. Philippians 4:13 is also a special one to me

[@beatricekimani6883]

You will still pass......I believe in you Nathan 😅

[@hafsaamuru7549]

stress leads to overthinking , comparing to ur colleges which lead to the doughty feeling which then leads to head aches , finally the anxiety during the exam ,and thus post the exam u overthink the results and that iz exactly what happens to me all the time .....lets hv hope.

[@NathanWu]

Taking one day at a time!

[@kaylee_yen]

hi Nathan, just watched your video and i relate to it so much. i messed up my biology practical exam today and your video really came at the right time. reminded me that it happens to many people and most importantly is to pick up and do better. :) thanks again Nathan!

[@Shirl33n]

I love your content, you’re one of the realest vloggers I’ve seen, congrats to your sister!

[@avanimahawar8294]

Hey Nathan, I relate to you sooo much. It's so difficult to fail and then get up again and again and convince yourself that next time will be better. I'm not in college but I've come to a grade which is so much difficult than the previous one and I've gone from an above average student to barely average. It's difficult to get up again and again, but we'll do so. I believe in both of us!

We're in this together 🤝

[@ameliencamurwanko5350]

Thanks Nathan for all the energy you put into your vlogs it really gives me strength while I'm studying :))) I'm currently in exam period right now, retakes to be precise, Thanks to your video I feel less lonely and more motivated to push through, hopefully you will have good grades, I'm crossing my fingers for you!!! And ofc ENJOYYYY YOUR VACAYYY!!

Hi Nathan :) I just wanted to thank you for all the motivational videos throughout the school year they helped me a lot. I had the same feeling after my exams and I felt so mad at myself because I tried so hard and yet still wasn't happy with the results. No matter what happened keep your head up it does get better.

It’s just my freaking ambition i guess and i also very recommend having a defined sleep schedule, i always wake up around 6:30 which really helps fingers crossed that you pass nathan and lots of love from Poland ❤️

[@Vvvvvvvvvssssssssssssss]

@@NathanWu naww that wasn't the intention

[@Vvvvvvvvvssssssssssssss]

I am yet to watch the entire video but imma give my views on the title. I get that when we work super hard, we obviously expect great results. Especially since Nathan is an amazing student, no matter how much he studies, sometimes our results aren't what we had anticipated and that's totally fine. You are studying pharmacy which is a super difficult subject. Failing sometimes is okay. We shall pass next time.

[@NathanWu]

I've never done this bad on my exams before 😭

[@garimadwivedi_]

I always get fever whenever exams are going on it so frustrating

[@zoarium4289]

could be because of the stress, lack of good food/enough sleep and other stuff associated w exam season.

[@NathanWu]

Oh no! I think that might be your immune system telling you something tbh

[@garimadwivedi_]

I believe it's just the stress of doing good in the exams

[@asrafatima9714]

I can see you tried the best that you could and giving it all that you had , it's ok to feel this way at a certain pint of time but don't let that bring you down it means you are on the right way of learning because you will be able to realise the mistakes you made, I hope you can focus on your mental health after these tough exams cause that will definitely be needed, thank you for being honest with how everything goes on, you can do this and you are doing so well, keep going! (small book that i can recommend you may read is called 'Atomic Habits' and it's great book to help you fix any bad habits and is life changing )

[@NathanWu]

I appreciate your words. It just sucks when your best still isn't good enough

[@strawverymilktae1280]

I have yet to complete watching your vlog as well. It's getting late and I have biology class today at 10:10 am, but I just want to say, Nathan, you're so hardworking. You're doing what you can and putting in the effort no matter what obstacles come your way. I get it, being a student, and answering questions on papers/exams is completely different from applying the knowledge to real-life situations. I remember I struggled so much in my pharmacy technician class that I cried that one day, sitting in the hallway, hugging my knees, and felt as if the world ended just because I couldn't open the vial and work according to the procedures for our clinical training part. And even entering college, taking bio 1, I always seemed to just "pass" the exams, but I learned that sometimes things that we hope for to succeed don't. And that's okay. Believing in yourself and having a positive mindset is hard indeed. I feel like with every small win we should celebrate as you highlighted in your vlog, and I hope you know that you're a literal inspiration to all those who are watching your videos. including me! guess what, I'm continuing my health science studies and realized what I truly want now, and decided to keep teaching as a backup. also, I'm taking bio 2 this semester. my prof told us as long as we're determined, we're going to be fine, so we got this!

[@Biochemstudiezz]

Hey Nathan! You do amazing with the knowledge and studying your content. However school shows a unrealistic expectation of what the real world is. Their is time limits and some information is left out on purpose. They also set it up to where it is a performance when in real life you will be just talking normally to any other person, on your own, and in way that makes sense rather than a constructed way like in school. I have no doubt you would be amazing in your career field. Just keep working hard and I look forward to seeing your successes!

[@NathanWu]

Thank you for keeping it all in perspective

[@ash4160]

As a nursing student , you have inspired me to incorporate self care as I study !!! I get so stressed from studying I rarely eat

[@naiksahil3011]

Dear Nathan I've been following you since few months now and I can relate to your content since I am a pharmacy graduate class of 2022 and this video in specific i could relate to it at personal level I have been in your shoes , the only thing I would like to tell you is just give your 100% whatever subject it may be , put in all your Hard work and efforts and don't worry about the results they will be defenitly good and above your expectations . This four years of pharmacy school have thought me this just give it your best and don't think much about the result. Love from India 🇮🇳❤️

[@NathanWu]

It's nice to have someone that understands the struggles of pharmacy school. I'm always just looking to pass. Anything higher is a bonus but passing is my goal. It's just that passing it so hard to do :(

Even if you think you failed the exam but didn’t fail yourself… you have worked really hard it showed! And I personally believe that academic success is like a parabola, it gets worse before it gets better….. I can relate to this because I didn’t do good in my recent maths test whose result I got today…. But yeah we will both do great in the next exam!!! Most important is that you know that you did your best… sometimes circumstances are not in our hands so the only thing that you can do is your best… P.S. I also do get stomach aches when I get stressed and don’t feel like eating then… yeah… Lots of love Your subscriber Tvisha!

[@marialikesthings4290]

As a fellow student in health sciences I know how much it sucks to be able to do the work in theory and know that you know it but then getting to practicals and feeling essentially useless. But it does get easier once you practice and get used to it more. A good way to practice with low stakes/low stress is to ask people you know to pretend to be a patient and then they'll get answers from what to stay from case studies and then trying to counsel them that way (if I made sense at all). But just because you 'failed' once doesn't make you a failure! You and everyone else who reads this should have a great day! ✨

I understand this situation very well especially after my first second semester exam yesterday. From the very first question I was having difficulties in writing the answers. I was shaking so much as I went through the remaining 3 structure questions. And when I started on the graph, none of the questions I was hoping for came out in the exam for graphs especially when both graphs are literally the same and I was totally unprepared for it and ended up using a total of 1 hour to draw the graphs after several mistakes and the essay😭I couldn't even analyse the question and I know when your analysation is incorrect, I can only get 1 mark out of 25😭💀.
