i regret my high school 4.0 gpa

[@hk6474]

I'm a medical fellow from a similar background to you. Congratulations on your GPA, it will pay off. Unfortunately the competition never stops, especially in the medical field. You'll continue to feel that you're needing to sacrifice parts of you to get ahead of the competition, and it is necessary at times. The key to balance is to be intentional when you carve out limited time/energy, and to spend it on things that are worth it such as quality friends, family, clubs, hobbies, or communities. Avoid the trap of wasting too much time on nonsense such as partying, drugs, and other vices just for the sake of FOMO.

yes I totally agree with u! rn I’m trying study hard but also maintain balance.

Damn bruh this is really eye opening to me since the only thing I wish right now is locked in and got a 4.0. I’m pretty much in the opposite boat. Just started senior year and have a 3.0 flat rn. I went out to dinner with my family last night and completely broke down calling myself a failure of a child and how I should’ve locked in before it was too late. But my parents being the best parents ever (obvi bias) told me to 1. Accept I made the mistake and learn from it 2. Stay in the present moment and not to regret the past as it was a learning opportunity. (Kinda like you said!) 3. You just have to put pen to paper and work. That’s the only way you have success. They’re not straight up telling me to grind, they’re just saying that I order to have a positive output, you need to have that effort to put in. And 4. I almost forgot: be optimistic no matter what. Being depressed and staying in the past will do nothing good and we all know this. Ask yourself, “Ok this didn’t work, what’s next? Do I have another opportunity to redeem myself?” I feel like this can make us all stronger inside. Thanks for making this video man. All of what I just said happened last night and it seems like gods work to recommend me this video. Sure, I messed up my chances of going into a good college for freshman year, but hey! Be optimistic! I hope I really do lock in (healthily) from here on out and I wish you the best too!

[@premed_george]

wow thanks for your comment! I glad this video helped! Yea even though we all have our own regrets we just need to keep going and make choices we won't regret later on. For me, I struggled with maintaining balance, now that I am in college my goal is to achieve balance.

[@lucianaaqua8756]

thx for the insightful vid. very raw ! this rlly inspired me to try and improve my social skills cuz i also tend to neglect social activities/friends when im grinding my work

[@premed_george]

yea ofc! we are in this together and in the following weeks I will try to document this journey and lemme know how it goes for u!

[@cjaneburr3740]

Having a balanced life is important. You should allot time for study, physical, spiritual and social life. The key is to know how to maintain all those parts of life during special seasons of life, like midterms, finals etc. Don’t be discouraged about the work you put in in the past. You may look around and see a lot of people who ended up where you are right now, but did not put in as much studying in high school. The reality is that getting in is not the same thing as finishing strong. The work you did has prepared you to do more than just arrive in the first week of class. You will be finishing strong long past when others have given up. Hang in there, have fun, read the Bible every day.

[@premed_george]

thanks for the kind comment! Yes now I am trying to live a more balanced life and improve my self in all aspects.

i really wish i was more social because i see myself as an introverted extrovert in a way. i love having friends and having people to hang out with and talking to people but i tend to be very reserved and quiet. i feel like I've never really made my own friends. all my friends i can think of now are through other people or it's more so that they have come to me first. I've been trying to be more out there and talk to new people but it's just very different to me that i don't know how to. like i don't know how to make friends. i know how to talk to my current friends but i don't know how to start up a normal conversation with somebody new. and when i do, i feel like I'm annoying them or something. i don't like being the more shy person in class. it's not cute or mysterious at all. i'd much rather have fun and laugh and talk and spend my days outside with people rather than being cooped up in my room all the time, like you said. and I'm not even studying or anything. I'm just doing whatever i feel like. i wish it wasn't like that, i wish i wasn't like this. i wish that i was social and can make friends easily. and me and my family is a very complicated topic. ever since covid, it messed up me and my family's relationship. my brother and i are always in our rooms, and i try not to be but when i have nothing else to do that's where i am. and my mother is always downstairs watching tv and sleeping on the couch. and my dad is always working, even when he's got off work he's doing something for that. i feel like my family is not really a family. I've tried to spend more time with my family but my mom has mellowed out because of medication she's taking for bipolar disorder. my dad has never showed his emotions a lot; he grew up with many siblings and a single mother who had to always work to provide for her family, so he kind of raised himself and didn't always feel love that he should've. and my brother is just a guy in his room. my brother and i also grew up with screens. it's made us kind of lazy and not always doing what we're supposed to be doing or not spending time with each other. my parents are extremely lenient too, so much that i wish sometimes they'd be a little more strict, that they let my brother and i do almost anything. and i feel like I'm the only one who's even trying to help us come together. and I'm not even the parent. I'm just a kid.

[@premed_george]

wow thanks for sharing ur experience! I'm glad this video resonated with you and I wish all the best to you and your family. I will try to make ur videos like this video to kind of document my journey and let me know how everything goes for u!

[@SushiGaming_YT]

kinda feels sort of like my situation except both me and my brother are in our living room lol , this whole summer i havent gone out with family once to have fun just me going to the gym

[@pastllia]

@@SushiGaming_YT yeah i used to always spend time with my family but covid messed everything up, i miss it a lot

[@kracced6642]

I've talked to many of the top 10 GPA kids in my school and I've noticed that many of them deal with constant disassociation in emotion usually carrying a non emotional ultra focused mundane face. They seemed like robots and I think that many cultures like Asian and African cultures make robots instead of people with logical and critical thinking minds. I decided I'll keep a 4.0 GPA without putting 100% effort diverting some of my effort into extracurriculars instead of GPA. Overall if you do not want to read this entire text, colleges want robots and I think that is a failure of an education system, live life creatively and have FUN.

[@premed_george]

yea i see what ur saying. Being in the top 10 definitely requires alot of sacrifices whether that means spending time with family or like you said just living life. Moving forward we just need to work on balance. I was def what you would consider a robot and now that I am in college I want to change that.

[@kracced6642]

@@premed_george go up to people ask their majors and stuff and if they want to do a project. You can do a project like research or making a game or what not and through that you should be able to build a strong relationship and friendship bubble. We die anyways bro might as well talk to people regardless of knowing them or not. It’s the most intimidating looking people that are the nicest. Trust me you’ll make it

[@Deena158]

I have a similar regret but this happened in my first year of college. Just regret that I didn't really had enough hobbies and I would always be focused on work yeah I had fun with my friends from college but it was always on campus I wish at the beginning I had a bit more fun once in a while. Also with past hobbies of mine like going to the gym and playing video games pretty much disappeared because I felt to stressed to give any time for myself that wasn't academics. At least for this year I'm going to try to do better and have a more balanced life.

[@premed_george]

yea for sure, finding balance in high school has kind of been hard for me. In these tears, I want to work on that and give time for myself.

[@Deena158]

@@premed_george Goodluck wish you the best.

[@SushiGaming_YT]

Hey thanks for this video , I wasnt getting straight As in 8th grade and freshmen year ( I took highschool courses in 8th grade) so my transcript isnt the best , I start sophomore year tomorrow and I want to lock in to be that guy , I'll still have a social life and continue doing the things i enjoy like playing video games and watching anime, however I'll start studying more and fixing my sleep schedule lol also I would like to join a sport's team in my school (most likely track or something) and get back into the gym.

[@premed_george]

yea thats a great plan! lowkey that was literally me in freshman year. I was working on my rlbx gaming channel, and I suddenly decided to lock in. well gl with everything i believe in u and lemme know how things go!

[@jejudo3000]

Isn’t 4.0 in High School is nothing since the Max is 5.0?

[@premed_george]

there are two types of gpa in high school. Unweighted which the max is usually 4 and is the gpa people typically talk about. While weighted is calculated differently by each school and is used for class ranking purposes. For your school, the max may be 5 but mine it could go up to 6. Hope this helps:)
