But later on with time i found this void inside me preparing for medical exam and feeling lacking somewhere never knew where and had interest in life too much....and then with the affection of movies and books i met philosophy my love ..and from that day life starts changing after studying Medical for 3 yrs i left it just like a snap and just start reading Philosophy and mysticism.. and here i am doing what i love .. now family don't like it ..friends don't like it ...

My struggle exactly. I have such a passion for story telling, books, movies, shows, video games. Both parents tell me that writing should stay a hobby, they laugh when I mention trying for a job in the film industry, they want me to go to college and pick something practical like a medical career or law. I highly doubt they would fund a creative writing degree. I feel extremely suffocated by their expectations. I have no idea how to pursue my dreams on my own or if I'm even good enough. All I know is I'm determined to do what I love for the rest of my life, no matter what it takes.

My story it's kinda funny. All my life I'd wanted to pursue Literature. But when I was 15 years old, while looking for a scifi novel when I found The Dragons of Eden by Carl Sagan, and thinking a little bit I discovered how much I had overrated maths and physics. Suddenly, it was all connected. When I started college, I felt amazed by the magic and abstract world of maths, and the unlimited capacity of physics. Physics is an art, it's philosophy. I am deeply in love :') P. S. Did you know Alice in Wonderland is actually a book that was wrote by a mathematician. Alice enters the world of the modern mathematics where nothing makes sense and it's so captivating. Simply beutiful 💖

That is almost an exact copy of my life (I'm 21 btw), it is so strange! It happened to me with electrical engineering; the most difficult degree in university among engineering degrees in terms of abstract math and the score needed to be able to major in it. Everyone were shocked when I droped out, and perhaps rightly so. After all, it was a golden opportunity. But it was just not me. It wasn't who I was, who I've always really been. I didn't pay attention in the math/physics classes (even though I love physics/science); I was mostly distracted, daydreaming, lost in fastastical thoughts or sleepy (and some of my other friends who had actually loved the degree were totally engaged). Yet in humanities classes, language classes, literature class, etc, I was like a never-blinking owl; eyes wide open, absorbing the aura like a sponge but all of the friends of mine that had been quite attentive in math classes became that sleepy/distracted version of me but in these ones. I've always shined bright in humanities/arts related subjects all my life, so right then and there I thought about myself in future as am engineer, working 8 hours a day, everyday, with math and similar areas. I couldn't bear it. It was too lifeless, too colorless, too mundane for me. No inspiration or spark of imagination. No depth of thought of the sort you find in philosophy (obviously STEM fields are super deep). It was just . . . Boring, and a big ball of black and white meh. Now I'm planning to start again for a bachelor's in english literature at the age of 21, even though english is my second language. I'm excited. And I'm also afraid, a lot. But such is the way of life.

[@thezombieshogun]

As a math graduate student, I must say that mathematics is very far from a purely mechanical pursuit. There's a lot of creativity involved, and having intuition is crucial if you want to do something original. It's just that there's a lot of "craft" involved, and some basic techniques have to be mastered before you are able to do interesting problems. Intuition is often hard to come by, and you have to let new concepts soak in your heard before fully grasping them (in this respect I find math to be very similar to philosophy). I completely understand your situation though, an overly competitive environment can lead one to learn math just for an exam. Before you realize it, you are barely following your lectures and you have a mountain of content to master, which you have no option but to memorize, as opposed to understanding it deep down. I know because I have been there too, but this isn't the right way to approach math. It takes time and effort, but it's definitely a field for people with a sense of discovery.

[@sebastianguerrero1251]

Oh yeah, upper level mathematics is very different than the introductory calculus and differential equations courses you have to take. My favorite part of maths was by far the proofs and all the scratch work that goes into it. Definitely a creative process.

[@nada3131]

As a math major hoping to get where you are some day, you nailed it.

[@Abhishek-hy8xe]

I feel the same too. There are always assignments to finish and exams to prepare for. And we just end up memorising important formula and solving standard problems rather than understanding the content to a level you feel satisfied . Most students don't even know what they know and what they don't which is necessary to be able to fit things together and see the bigger picture of what you are learning. And we end up "half -learning" which is worse than no learning. Sometimes I doubt if I am slow or the system is too fast. There is a lot more to write. But I think this expresses what state of unfortunate perpetuality I feel I am in.

[@starshipx1282]

Yh thats well put. Math is the beast which is difficult to tame but once done its powerful, mysterious and original. G. H. Hardy’s “A mathematician’s apology” is a really good read where he compares a mathematician to a painter or a poet.

[@tanmaychandane8279]

That was spot on my man. I'm a physics student and most people see this as something boring and mechanical. It also has to do with how it's taught in high school. Once you go to uni you actually start to use all the things you've learned. You've to be very creative to solve a given problem at hand.

[@walterwetmore3933]

Reading comments, it feels relieving to find people I can relate to. I had come from an intense bio/chemistry high school program and even then I realized that my love for biology was not enough get me through devastating chemistry classes. For my first year of university I jumped straight into engineering program. As phys/math was something I never tried myself into, figured that I might just get into it. I did not, and it was a miserable year of feeling dumb in the highly competitive environment. One summer struggling with a physics problem, I had had it and it hit me that the most fun I had was with my writing and history classes. Then I pulled a 180 and transferred into the Literature program, probably the best decision I've ever made. And holy shit, the year as a lit major was the most memorable and eventful in my life. And although I was not much of a reader before and it took some time to catch up with my classmates, I finally feel like I'm in the right place. I too discovered passion for writing, though did not get quite as far as taking on a novel. Currently quarter-way into my third year, feeling great as ever! Your channel was a good find, keep it up. I am also 19 but you got way deeper into this. There are still ways to go, so hope to see you on the other side.

I am going through the imposter syndrome part of my life right now in which, I don't want to realize what I know I am capable of. Even from the beginning of my life everything sounded and seemed like a sad movie. Tragic past, nonnuclear family, and an unorthodox way of doing things. It's like filling out college apps or a resume, everything about you is on paper, but when you look at it you know it doesn't really sound like you. Like you, I also think very intuitively, so much to the fact that I figure everything out so easily. I have the foundations set and the accomplishments to show that I'm not an imposter, but I can never shake that feeling. I think everyone thinks the same way I do, but I know from experience that they truly don't. I like to describe myself as contradicting. People call me a robot and that im emotionless, yet on the other hand when i'm alone (now more than ever) I am fully aware of feeling alone. This year was different than everything before. May be the fact I dropped out of a full scholarship at a prestigious university or may be the fact that I did that and everything is fine and the world didn't end. I'm going to do things as I've always done, my own way and by myself. I have a goal set and I know that it will not be a straight path, but I am okay with that and I am kind of excited to see what ventures are to come my way. I hate this feeling of uncertainty, but I am certain that things will work out. Lifes a mess and that's the fun of it. I love the things we're supposed to hate, I hate the things we're supposed to love, That's just me.

To me this is really interesting as someone who is studying marine biology at university and with my particular degree will go straight into a masters next year, yet I have this other side which is just obsessed with language and words. I love to read and write hence why I'm on this channel and those are things I will continue to do till I die as it is physically impossible for me not to do them. Yet I could never imagine having a different career to the one I want, where I will do field research primarily into behaviour of dolphins and whales (or at least thats the dream) but alongside it I will always read and write. But as you said science as with everything else you can't do it unless you love it it's too much hard work for often little reward. So even though I am in the last year of my undergraduate degree in marine biology I am still doing both the science and the writing because I can't imagine not doing either but I can be a marine biologist who writes but not a writer who's a marine biologist, at least not to the level I want to.

I am not sure whether it’s just laziness, as people usually say about this kind of situation, or actual valid lack of motivation. I completed a major above average university in 2007. I worked hard in high school to get in by having a GPA that was always over 4.0 (for those outside of the US, 4.0 is when you get all A/5 but you get more if you took Advanced Placement courses). When I was in university I also lost all motivation to do anything. It was like “ok, I got into a very good university I wanted to get into, now I don’t care”.

Hi Waldun, im from Brazil. I entered geophysics college this year and at the beginning i was so excited about everything, but now im have the feeling that everything that im learning its so mechanical, like you said on the video. I was thinking about doing philosophy, but i wasnt pretty sure about it (also im kinda scared about what my dad would think if i left geophysics college right now). But seeing you talk about your experience made me realize why i am not enjoying it like i thought i would. I discovered your channel recently, and i fell in love with it, so thanks for this video, it really helped me out with my college issues. Also, i hope that one day i can read one of your novels. (sorry for the english, im not practicing much right now)

I see myself so reflected. I study physics in university and i recently discover that I'm a writer, not a scientist. I'm starting to knowing myself better and at the time of picking my degree i didn't know who i really was. Now I'm trying to educate myself as much as i can and maybe i would become a writer one day.

i never comment ever, but i just wanted to say this video immediately made me subscribe to you. you have the guts and wisdom that i feel i do not have at the moment :,) feeling kinda stuck and in the same position you were in in your highschool years. it feels like there’s so much pressure to make a decision at the ripe age of 16. i have a deep love for history and french, but i plan on majoring in biology, to then go to medical school to become a psychiatrist. it’s a good mix of the humanities and science (which i’m not bad at not to toot my own horn haha), meaning i can (hopefully) end up achieving this balance of knowing i am serving others, but also being able to provide for my own family. however, i don’t get the same fulfillment i do in my science classes as i do in my history classes or my french class. i have an urge to learn more in those subjects, delving my own time into them. but i only do what i must do for my STEM classes. i’m afraid i will go to university and go to med school and absolutely hate it. however, i’m also afraid of pursuing my deep love for history, as i can’t see myself making the income i desire. anyways, i just wanted to thank you for sharing your story of self-discovery, and to tell you it’s given me a bit more perspective on my journey.

[@craigs2023]

Haha I went through a very similar process. I studied sports and personal training for about 2-3 years. In my third year, I went through a strong bout of depression to the point that I was contemplating taking my own life. After I'd started to get over this period, I had this new found curiosity about the world. For some reason, I started being drawn to history and philosophy. I started listening to classical music and wanting to learn how to read sheet music. However, I was never one who read as a child so for me, getting used to reading for long periods of time has been tough but it's something I do because I love learning about history. I'm now going into my second year of a Bachelor of Arts in History and am loving it. It was difficult at first as I had to learn how to write properly and my grades weren't the best but it's something I'm looking to focus on for the long-term. My dream is to Study my masters in Medieval studies in York and possibly do a PhD. I'd also love to write a novel like yourself.

[@w8455]

The weirdest shit seems to happen throughout the teen years. A couple of years ago in 8th grade, I slept through all of math and barely passed by the mercy of my teacher. I was more of a humanities/non-math heavy science guy. Now I've graduated school and am doing a gap year thing to study some calculus and more advanced math with the idea of ultimately getting a math degree, and if my brain still has enough neurons firing by then, a PhD and get into doing research. I started doing it out of necessity last year and it's been growing on me quite a lot. Actually thinking of doing both math and philosophy, one thing I'm naturally bad at and one I'm naturally good at, you know to balance things out. Also, they seem pretty closely related at a bit higher of a level. Who knows, by the end of that year I might get tired of math and really get into weaving baskets in non-viscous liquids.

[@PP-mb2ky]

I've always thought self discovery was a strange idea. "Self discovery" implies that there is a "self" out "there" waiting to be "discovered." Obviously one can't just go outside and find one's self. Life is constantly changing; it is dynamic. Waldun's story here is a perfect example of that. The phrase "Who am I?" implies that the self is fixed. For example, "I am tall," "I am a philosopher," "I am late for a very important date." The word "am" implies a fixed state. But... we know that our experiences and lessons are never fixed. The self is simply a vessel waiting to be filled, and not just once, but over and over. How is one supposed to find one's self when one is always in a constant state of flux? In this context, the question "who am I?" sounds absurd . The idea of the self is an illusion in order to make us feel like we are in control. My suspicion is that there is no self. My suspicion is that we simply exist.

[@Yesica1993]

Of course there is a self. Even if you look at babies, they have different personalities, from birth! Even siblings, even twins are *different* .

[@PP-mb2ky]

@@Yesica1993 I think we are approaching this in different ways Yesica. Of course humans have different personalities that grant us uniqueness and individuality. I agree with you. I'm referring to the societal sentiment of "going out there and finding yourself." I mean, that is what most college students are told they should do. Go out into the world and discover who they are. What if one goes out into the world and can't find anything? Or worse yet, they discover they don't like who they are. How is one even supposed to know when one find one's self? It's a question that only leads to self doubt because it never receives an answer and only creates more questions.

That’s where I realized that I can write poetry, a place where I can express any type of emotions that I’ve endured in the past or the present. So, Here I am ready to publish a poetry book😂

Hm these comments are super interesting. I can definitely relate to the whole idea of intuitive problem-solving. As a design school student (who is no math wiz), I feel that "mechanical thinking" still applies to mathematics. There is a very logical truth in maths, ie in very basic terms, 1+1 will result in 2. Artistic thinking relies very little on concrete results (based on my experience). I tend to live in the grey area of things when I'm working. Design on the other hand is a mix of the two - we need a mix of numbers and intuitive freedom. Forever will be fascinated by folks who see maths as a creative activity!

As a third year physics and mathematics student myself, I completely understand your reservations. However I do think that the kind of learning you weren't so fond is a necessary evil to get to the point in you're career where you have the intellectual freedom to really pursue you're desire for discovery. I think if you love that feeling enough (in the maths/physics sense) then you just accept you've gotta do a bit of dirty work first.

[@eve9892]

I was in a very similar position. I went to an all-girls school in a disadvantaged area that really pushed the women in stem message (for a good reason), but sort of left the humanities to the side. From the start of secondary school I always did well in maths and science and was convinced that that was what I wanted to do. I loved reading but my GCSE english teacher made me realise how fascinating formally studying literature is. Against my better judgement I picked maths and physics at A level and I was miserable for 2 years. I realised that, though I liked maths, I wasn't passionate about it (like I was about literature) and the only reason I was taking it further was because it 'sounded smart' and it was a very mechanical process in which I could be more certain of a good grade. I turned down my place at university, took a year out and did an A level in english. Now I've started a course in English Literature and Art History at Uni and I adore it. Yes, people might ask: 'do you want to be a teacher?' all the time, but so what? Luckily, my parents are supportive of my choice. Always remember that, if circumstances allow, it's better to be happy and therefore do well in a subject you love than do something that makes you miserable just because its what is 'expected' of you. As long as you work hard during your degree/studies and cultivate your transferable skills, you should be okay xxx

When I was an undergrad, I double majored in Biology and French. Then, I did one year of a PhD in Entomology before switching to a Masters and then a PhD program in French. You can study science and the humanities. I ultimately transitioned to focusing on French, but for many years I studied both disciplines. There's this strange assumption in academia that you're either a science person or a humanities person. But I knew so many people who were pre-med biology majors and majored/minored in a language or in history. If you want to study two disciplines and your university allows you to, do it. It gives you a very interesting perspective on both disciplines. I relate so much to Robin's story. I was supposed to be studying biology but I was obsessed with philosophy and theology. I was particularly obsessed with Kierkegaard. So unsurprisingly, I wasn't focusing on science. And I was also obsessed with French literature. I knew that I wanted to do research in the humanities. So, when I got the opportunity, I left my PhD program in entomology and switched to French. This is a great channel. I really like your videos Robin!

KZbin's algorithm is working some sort of magic today, because I am in nearly the same shoes are you are. I grew up loving science. When my parents and teachers asked what I wanted to be, I would immediately say "Theoretical Physicist" from fourth grade onwards. Science youtube channels hooked me along for the ride, and my classes never truly challenged me. I didn't admit to myself that I never actually pursued physics. Nothing drove me to stay up past midnight researching material past what my classes taught. The idea of being a professor and doing real research honestly bored me. But I kept dredging through the façade, telling myself I would learn to love the act of discovering physics for myself. The field interested me enough, right? Yesterday, I was looking through college internships and research opportunities for physics. You would imagine a physics major to be interested in SOMETHING, right? No. Nothing drew my eyes. I realized I loathe the idea of doing research, being confined by a specific project with a supervisor looming over my head. If physics was my calling, shouldn't that stuff not matter? Shouldn't I be excited by the mere thought of working with equations all day? I simply wasn't. I turned an eye inwards, and it was as if a holy beacon shone on writing. Before now, I thought of writing as a hobby, even though I've written stories since before I claimed my life goal was to be a theoretical physicist. Hell, I got sixty pages into a book when I was twelve. To this day, I have done nothing comparable to that in physics. Stories were born from the sea-foam of my mind, and I grew excited at the thought of typing them out. Since freshman year of high school, I've been building a fantasy world and all the stories within. After a period of self-doubt, I regained confidence my freshman year of college and started writing carefree again like I did as a kid. Now I'm fully applying myself to writing a novel. I go to sleep and wake up thinking of my stories, and I feel there's only one more step of craziness to go before I wake up at 3 in the morning and write for two hours. This video is honestly spurring me forwards. Thank you.

It’s okay to choose your passions exclusively to the lifestyle you wish to live-however a discipline like physics and math and other pure disciplines take a tremendous amount of creativity once you get past all the rigorous coursework. That’s the point where the most satisfaction comes from.

How do you make your living. How do you earn $$$. Self-published novels will not earn you hardly anything. Writing is a craft that took me years and years of study before I began to get published. Pay a professional editor or critic and get an objective opinion on the merits of your novels. Or send me a couple pages of your novel and I will tell you objectively if you have what it takes. Or find yourself a literary agent in your field altho most will probably reject your works unless they find it unique. Learn about Query letters. Maybe write Sci-fi using your physics background and imagination to create a fantasy world. But I find writers fear rejection and ou will never become a top notch writer if you fear rejection. If you read the story of highly successful writers you will find that the vast majority were rejected many many many times before they hit pay-dirt. Good luck and God Bless, Al

[@theoreticalphysics3644]

I wanna ramble about this, since I relate a bit here. I am about to get a bs in computational physics, with minors in math and cs. I love knowing new things, and while I hate the process of learning, I don't regret it whatsoever. I realized I was elitist and lazy, which really took time to change. I had and still have an infatuation with the implications of what I was learning; it's one thing to know what things like quantum mechanics and general relativity are on the surface, but getting into the technical detail and seeing it finally make sense gives a much greater appreciation for them. However, I've realized I believe I've learned enough. I've never really done research and have rather found talent in programming. I kinda consider it a applied math degree (as opposed to physics) that's merely only a means of showing I'm capable of quantitative thinking. Hell, I even found a love for language learning too, for me it's Russian. But now, I am becoming increasingly interested in arts. I want to learn more about biology, philosophy, psychology, literature, and creative writing. I want to learn to draw and animate, starting with technical aspects of it and hopefully getting into an actual art project. I want to go back to playing music and learning sound design. Over summer, jobless bc of quarantine, I had an idea for a sci-fi series, and for the first time, it was an idea that didn't just disappear after a day. I'm still thinking about it, and I think as soon as I graduate and start a career, I'm going to have a life reset and pursue these things in my free time. I just think its amazing how I used to totally disregard anything non-stem related, yet now my interests are flipping now while I'm literally being on the verge of a degree in physics.

This took me on a trip lol. I remember when I was in high school I wasn't sure what I was going to do, but I had continued French studies since middle school to the highest level through high school and we went on a trip to France, and that sold me. I wanted to study French and French literature so badly, and then my parents told me I was on my own for paying for uni right when I entered my senior year. I also got criticism on making that major choice for the typical "how are you going to make money" argument and the attitude that I would be paying to put myself in a hole or something. So everything became about return on investment. I enlisted in the military to have some hope of paying my way through school when I was done bc my parents earned too much money for me to get financial aid which was lame, but being enlisted I could claim myself as an independent and get financial aid from the military in the end as well. Started studying computer science, switched to being an English major, switched back to comp sci bc I guilted myself back into the major because I had already invested time/money. I applied to another uni to study french and french literature because some friends I made agreed they could see me as a professor when they learned about my passions for language learning and reading, but then I went back to comp sci. I like programming as someone who enjoys learning languages, analyzing diction in lit, understanding linguistics, but really don't enjoy the math classes and a lot of the professors I feel like don't really try to make it interesting.

I have been studying biomedical sciences for the last three years, I’m currently a Junior in college and I’m turning 20 in one month. I wanted to believe that my destiny was to become a doctor. But every time I study, I feel as though something has been stripped from me. Sometimes it’s peace, sometimes it’s happiness, it’s almost always sanity. The competition, the feeling of unworthiness. It’s painful. I’ve decided that I want to change major, but I’m terrified. I’ve decided that I want to harness my talents and transform them into skills. I don’t want to chase after a career in hopes that I’ll learn to love it. But I’m terrified. What will my family think when I tell them that I’m graduating a year later? What about the money I spent on classes? To be fair, I still want to pursue a career in medicine, I would like to become a PA, and I know that I have the skills to be one. I’m thinking about changing my major to health sciences. But I feel like I should have my life figured out. I thought that life after graduating from high school would scale linearly. This was foolish, but it seemed that there was no room for mistakes. If someone is reading this, I would love some advice.
