honestly, uni is stressful: how i navigate a week of assignments and classes!

i love learning. i love applying my knowledge. but 3 essays in 1 week...? no thank you.
what a JOURNEY this video was. I'm literally watching myself deteriorate throughout the week ahahaha. shoutout to all of you smashing academic work at the moment! uni, school, college... it's all tough. we've got this 🦋
Though this is a long video, I actually didn't vlog much that week. Most of my time was spent typing, reading, or doing the non-vlogging things that prioritise my mental health, such as yoga, meditation and walks in nature. It's so important to know yourself such that when times get stressful, you have all these positive habits ready to support you.

This video is dedicated to all my uni students out there! Academics can be tough. The stress of it all almost detaches you from why you first chose your subject, or why learning is meant to be fun. This video is a real-talk glimpse of the side we romanticise less. Enjoy! And, if you're stressed about academic workload right now, you've got this. You're doing enough. Don't deviate from the priority systems in your life which make you your best self: mental health, physical health, loved ones, self love. Go smash it!! 🦋

If a university makes you do so much work that you're at the point of breaking it's not actually a good thing. Sometimes you make it seem like you're glad that the uni is making you crazy overworked because it means you're ~learning~. But most people would have learnt in a more chill environment too or even better and their mental health wouldn't suffer.

[@whyisgamora4191]

Omg!! I relate to this!! I've always been a good student and have always love studying. But now, since I got into my major, the amount of essays that I need to do, other assigments, and also after school activities really makes me demotivated. I never really give my best work in all of my assignments anymore, never prepare to exams properly, etc. It really turned me 180 and kinda make me a "bad student"

[@carly_02]

I've started uni this year, and I already knew that mount of work and pressure was going to be high, but atm it's just insane, I feel like I don't have time to breathe or relax! It's so many things to deal with and study and try to give my best on everything, that I just came to the state where I can't even enjoy the things that I'm learning, I simply just work and don't do anything else, it's bad but I keep thinking It's just one more week, just one more week, and hopefully, I'll get to the end of the semester and then relax! :')

[@stellwyn]

As someone who graduated from Cambridge in 2020 and now has a job: this is a toxic environment. When university work makes it impossible to take time off to relax there is a problem. I was so chronically stressed at Cambridge - because it's set up to make even top students stressed and I have hearing loss so listening so intently all the time really took it out of me. And even though I took the whole summer off I didn't feel fully recharged when I started my new job in OCTOBER. But honestly working 9-5 rather than constantly is a revelation - I still need therapy to properly process what uni did to me but at least i have evenings and weekends to myself. Please please talk to your uni about this ridiculous workload. If you're struggling, it must be impossible for disabled students like me who are expected to throw ourselves under the bus for a degree!

[@aino8958]

there's something so magical about this video that just makes me want it to never finish.. the passion you got, the warmth of you and the ppl around you, the rewarding feeling that bursted out of the screen the minute you said the assignments were done. no doubt it was tough, but you made it jade ♡

[@cathrynrosalie1289]

It is relatable watching you like this; but looking at this from an observer's perspective I also come to realise that this should not be normal. This does not HELP anyone. I know you said that teaching yourself like in the model of your uni is good; but we do not actually have the brain capacity to remember more than a fraction of so much information. If your uni syllabus conssitently requires more than 8hrs/day and 40hrs/week of work from you, it is too much. Unfortunately, all uni courses do.

[@deusexmachina9776]

Hey. I said something similar. I think with STEM courses there can be an exception- because of the field - but this is an arts or economics degree - the ones who are mocked in other universities for having it easy.

[@letskillbunny]

yes it shouldn't be normal to *have* to stay up till midnight and constantly cram our brains so we don't fall behind. how did this become the accepted way to live our lives? how can uni's act surprised when students have breakdowns?

I'm 26 and I've immersed myself in the studytube world to get inspired and motivated. Recently, I've finally realised my true passion and have decided to pursue becoming a midwife. As I have an arts and humanities background, this means that I'm currently studying hard to get a maths and biology qualification to get into uni (hopefully in a couple of years!). It feels so strange to be studying gcse's again, and in a way I'm worried I've gone backwards. But at the end of the day, I'm propelling myself forwards, wherever I end up! It's never too late for a new path. I got my degree in history 5 years ago, worked in the museum sector for a few years, then as an office administrator for a charity. I have no medical experience, but I have faith in myself! And I find your journey so inspiring. So thank you, Jade!

Eg. I realized that I wasn't doing the preparations for labs and it made me anxious not knowing what to do during the labs so I've been making sure I read the problem statement and search up about the topic so I'm less nervous during the labs - a cup of chamomile with a book during the sunset, I just try to plan my study sesh so I get a break around about sunset so I can really just take time with myself - working out has be the best thing for my mental health, I try to workout whenever I have less workload!

I understand this 💯 ... I am also a sophomore, and this online sem has honestly made me have so much more respect for uni s like Minerva which are 'online schools' ... Because it is damn rigorous... But I m sooooo happy today... Yesterday was the end of 2 months of our classes and we have 8 days of vacay ... And I submitted my last assignment this morning and was crying off happiness, not so much with exhaustion as it was of this rut ... Of doing the same thing everyday... I started reading Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, it's been atleast 2.5 months from the last time I read fiction ... The point is with contact studies, I never felt this overwhelmed because I could channel that emotion into sports and other extra curriculars... But at home ... Well, well, well... But this struggle has also taught me a lot, how to manage my time better and basically what not to do ... I am excited for the upcoming 1 week and then the last 1.5 months of my 3rd sem ... Am looking forward to doing some fun independent study this winter !!

Nobody can be happy all the time and that's okay. Sometimes we need a little jump start to get our happy on. Here is a list of 10 things that will make you happy right now! 1. You are alive so take some breathes and feel the air in your lungs. You are still here! Be happy that you are alive. 2. Spend time with family & friends. Spending time with family & friends can lift your spirits and brighten your day 3. Go outside. Breath the air. Soak in the sun. Fresh air and sunshine can lift your mood and your spirits giving you a new perspective. 4. Get some good sleep. Good sleep and rest can lift your mood and make you happy. 5. Help someone else. Helping others makes us feel good about ourselves and happy to be able to make someone else happy. 6. Smile and give or get a hug. Just smile. A small smile can turn into a bigger smile. Give someone a hug or accept a hug from someone else. There are multiple studies that show contact with others raises happiness! 7. Be thankful for the small things in your life. Count your blessing and you will find you have much to be happy about 8. Listen to Music. Listen to your favorite upbeat tunes. Science has proven that music can lift our moods and make us happier. 9. Get moving. Exercise is proven to lift your spirits. It doesn't have to be three hours of weight lifting. Just get up and move. 10. Find joy in your present moment. Your life may not be perfect or exactly what you want it to be yet, but you can decide to find joy and happiness in this present moment. Many people have it harder than you do and they would love to only have your burdens.

The whole point of uni is to be educated, not just read articles & textbooks you can access without uni. Are many workplaces even likely to recognise their degree?

[@ellevasc]

from what I understood, the readings are for you to have an idea of what's going to happen on class, then they discuss it more in-depth

[@erinhux8855]

@@ellevasc readings should be complimentary material to better understand the class material, not a tool to teach yourself with before ever having been taught in class first. Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but jade seemed to really be struggling to understand some concepts but had no access to a real educator at the time and had to rely on outside resources you could definitely access without paying thousands for the uni.

It's kinda the same in my uni since the lockdown

[@Amyhb69]

@hufflepuff harry potter lover yes and then we have the regular exams and work to submit

[@Amyhb69]

@hufflepuff harry potter lover I study in France!

[@emcabl333]

Why do they do classes until midnight? That doesn’t seem ideal for anyone

[@AmberWoodMusicx]

exactly where’s the room to wind down? breaks?

[@maryalice417]

Because Minerva is international they have to find times that work for the most ppl e.g not 4am

[@greenie2489]

yes with a deadline at 8am the next day too! crazy

[@oorjitmishra8521]

I don't understand why exactly you're essentially forced to cram stuff in like someone who's mismanaging their time? It seems like an easy way to ensure that people lose their love for their subject before they've even begun working in it.

Jade! Thank you so much for sharing on this VERY important topic. Watching you work in this super stressful situation really makes me more optimistic about all the uni work load. I've learnt so much from you already and I know that if you can beat stress, I can learn this from you. Just the the right video for me now. Thank you loads Jade. You are my inspitation.
