2 days into college (10 year version)

a remix of Aimee Carty's song - the 10 & 20 year version for sad millennials.

[@PanickedPixel]

I just hit 30 and idk why the 20 years version is making me cry. I’ve been slowly working on myself to reach that point where I’ll feel okay and I guess the crying comes from knowing that all the rough stuff I’m going through now is going to be worth it in the end.

[@amiruladli9737]

I'll be 30 this year too. I feel the same as you do about the 20 years version. I'm both afraid and hopeful

[@aquamarinerose5405]

I think it's because it somehow manages to be such a more optimistic take on a cynical beginning.. Or, I say cynical since both the 2 days and 10 years verses reflect someone who has no idea what they're doing with their lives. while 20 years finds someone who actually has some idea of who they are, and came out on the other side... I got the same feeling and I'm only like 24.

[@IndigoRichard]

OMG! I am so glad somebody pointed this out. I’m 42 and can honestly say, the years wash the pain away. All I’d regret, reasons I was upset, they all eventually fade. I finally looked up my “Colin” and found out they’re doing fine. As life hand’s out it’s W’s and L’s, things average over time. Bad or great, life averages our fate and their life turned out like mine. I used to chase after success with a rubric in my mind, but now I value a authenticity, hope, and opportunities to be kind. Win or loose, I’ll take whatever. I promised my love for worse or better. I had two kids and I’ll love forever. And people I loved are gone forever. God I wish I could hold on forever.

[@MrOckiller]

Best advice I can give is stop giving a fuck where everyone else is "up to" we are all doing things in our own way at different paces and different times. My mantra nowadays is "Don't worry about that!" genuinely no matter how big or small stuff is it won't bother you as much tommorow must say it 10+ times a day you will be much happier and i used to overthink and worry about things but just take time out of your day to do you if thats sitting outside, listening to birds sing, blasting music or talking to a loved one :)

[@ZKuran]

I'm 40 now, I still remember college, I still remember high school...what's a blur is what happened in between it all. So much has gone on now, and yet, it feels like such a short time.

[@sidescrollmusic]

Nearing 15 years out of college.... Great lyrics, very fitting. Instead of worrying if I'm happier than everyone else like I used to, I feel happiness for those who are happy and healthy. It brings me comfort knowing that there are many people out there really living their lives to the fullest and appreciating the beauty of the world and their bodies and souls. The world is a good place and I am grateful for little joys that can be found every day, like a warm breeze in the air or the beautiful colors of fall leaves. And seeing my kids smile makes my heart sing. Life is precious. When I'm feeling down, I have to remind myself to find solace in love and gratitude.

My 12 year old perspective (I added more verses): I'm 10 years before college and somehow I can't deny how I feel stressed about bad things that may come late into my life and I really don't know how to feel about that cuz I feel to young to think about it and I keep worrying about my future when I still have all of this time I wake up feeling happy or I wake up feeling sad sometimes I wake up excited for a trip that we may have I feel so many feelings at this point into my life so I just sit in bed and wait for the day this spark finally ignites sometimes people tell me that I am so mature and half the time I'm thinking "are you really really sure?" cuz sometimes I feel young or I feel old sometimes my life feels really cold so all I do is sit and hope that soon my whole life will unfold

Make sure you’re focusing on the present day and trying to find things that bring you joy. -From a chronic overthinker who was once 12 years old (P.S. worrying about the future doesn’t mean you’ll be able to control, it’s just brings more unnecessary stress)

I love this remix just as much as i loved the original song. You have a beautiful voice for one, but what stands out to me is actually the 20 years part. There's just so much hope that is spilling down from those who have gone through the hell of college and the nighmares of your twenties and thirties. The tough times and rough patches don't stop just because you get out of school, but as you age you understand certain things better than when you were younger. Its encouraging- at least to me- to know that the folks that are older than me made it through the hardships. And it just feels like they are reaching back to the younger folks telling them to keep holding on, you'll make it. Love this so much

As a 32 year old, your lyrics hit very close to home and rang very true. But they were comforting because it made me realize that I'm not the only one that feels this way. That I feel so "far" from my college years but often wonder if I did enough with the last decade of my life. I've had a very full life already, but yet still feel like I'm behind. Knowing that there are many others that feel exactly as I do, and many people further ahead of me that walked this same path, gives me comfort to know that I am exactly where I should be and where I need to be right now. All we can do is keep putting one step in front of the other and try and enjoy the ride.

Heartbreaks, moves, losses, deaths, and struggles with housing, carreer, relationship, identity, and mental health. I was stuck in that place for 4 years without a break. But slowly things changed. I got stable housing, solid employment, cut ties with all my toxic family and friends until the only people i get spend time with are ones who make me feel loved. Ive changed the expectations I have for myself so they aren't impossibly high And i think Im getting to the 20 years side. I never thought id live this life, but i do.

First of all I’m crying, so thank you 😅 I’m turning 30 and absolutely loved/was devastated by the 10 year version, but the 20 year version made me so optimistic that this pressure gets easier. Also you’re insanely talented, thank you for the therapy

[@mynameisdulcion6361]

I love your voice and the lyrics are just hitting hard. Sitting here at one at night and just listening to it on repeat and you kinda inspire me to make my own yt channel and sing for all the people who would listen to it even if its only my mom.

I love this... It's over too quick though, really wish it lasted longer. *Clicks replay.*

[@premshah162]

Especially loved the compiled feelings of everyone 20 years out of college. Gives me hope that growing up might have some lows, but like any trough, there'll be a peak soon after.

Saw this on tik tok first earlier today actually! The interwebs be wild and you popped up on my YT home page too. I love this. Thank you!

Being 40+, that totally rang the right bells. 🙂

"Did everybody succeed now?" "are they happier than me now" Damn that hit hard I am 12-16 years old and I feel like all of my friends succeeded and I just keep failing, everyone seems so happy, but I feel like I am never really happy just faking a smile. Thank you for this beautiful song. also love the "2 years into collage" song.❤❤❤

I listened to the original, and it struck me even though i didn't go to college. But this... This is me. This hit me so damn hard and now i listen to it all the time. Its so incredibly lovely to know im not the only one, thank you for this.

I'm almost 45 years old and I'm 15 years out of college (late starter). This hit really really hard at my age especially since I graduated during the recession of 2009 and still don't have a career utilizing the degree that I worked so hard to acquire.

I’m 29 today and the ten year version makes me feel less alone and the 20 years version makes me feel so hopeful!!

[@stevenbertrand7709]

Ngl this remix hits hard! Amazing job and the would love a full song if you ever got to it. Such a talent!!

[@Minguinist_]

Never been this grateful to YT algorithm for leading me here. I love this.❤

[@prashanthr6817]

Thank you for this 😢❤

[@anthonycorais-marsh5503]

I would love a mix that had all 3 versions❤❤❤❤

[@kibbyanimates6251]

First verse made me cry knowing other people feel this way. Second verse made me cry knowing it got better for those who went through it.

[@andreas.l.a.nyberg]

This is so spot on; please continue using others' creative posts. I'm in my forties, and your second verse resonates deeply with me. I'm curious about how people older than me experience life in their fifties, sixties, and seventies. My parents, who are approaching their seventies, are loving life. Their granddaughter is the highlight of their lives, and they make every effort to travel from Sweden to visit me in London and explore the world. I speak to them almost every day, and we are currently planning a trip for their visit in September. They'll be staying for two weeks, which will include a weekend getaway to Paris. To me, that’s a real celebration. Since my mid-twenties, they've transitioned from just being my parents to becoming my best friends, and now we talk about everything.

33 years old and 10 years out of college - It's fucking rough. This song hits so true for us millennials that did everything we were told to do and were given nothing from the world except debt, financial recession and cost of living crisis. Add on a loneliness epidemic and existential environmental dread to the mix and I hope by 20 years out of college I'll be as optimistic as these mid 40s are

[@llamalulu04]

Thank you so much for this!!😭😭❤ I'm in college studying Engineering and life can get so tough sometimes😢 this really made me feel more hopeful about the future💫

[@sofiagayou385]

I'm somewhere between the 10 and 20 and while i know i've come a long way, i needed to hear the 20 years out of college and 40 years advice today especially. Thank you all!

[@monirainbows5987]

the goosebumps... I'm 38 and still finding myself, but I'm happier than I've ever been and sadder at the same time.
