College Vlog: Exams, Catching Up, Studying & Note-Taking

[@imme791]

I remember last year, I was so behind in school because I had a mental breakdown (death of a relative) I asked my friends to help me with certain modules and they all made up excuses, and even when they finished their work and I asked them if they could help me with my presentation and layout, and one of them told me ''no I don't want to , I pulled an all nighter and now I want to go out and eat with other friends" it broke my heart, and this year this exact same friend asked me for help with her presentation and 3D model and I stayed 3 days to help her out ,and when I asked her to basically study together and catch up on one module she said NO, being behind at uni work and having no one to help you is tough but Kaitlyn YOU CAN DO IT , YOU ARE MOTIVATING MORE THAN 1 OF US! , you can do it , and if you feel down be open up about it and know that WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK, cause we are a fam in this youtube channel ❤❤❤

[@katlynnaert7545]

Those aren’t your friends 😕 you don’t need those kind of people in your life! I hope you find some REAL friends.

[@user-om4nw8ee6l]

Your always going to be alone never rely on anyone to be there for you

[@angelinelorenz8455]

I've had the same kind of "friends" before. They are just going to pull you down and you 100% deserve better. From what I can tell you are a generous and big-hearted person. You deserve better than people who don't appreciate that.

[@imme791]

@shahd jastaniah a lot of people are telling me this, and I get it now, I'm trying to stay away from those people ,build new friendships and make my uni life a unique experience, thnks for the advice

[@katelinj7393]

I honestly love seeing all sides of college study, being on top of everything and doing well as well as struggling. Makes me feel less alone when I've fallen behind or didn't do as well on a test :')

chilly 5 am morning, a warm black coffee, wrapped in a blanket while watching Kaitlyn's vlog. YAAAASSSSSS I FEEL THERAPEUTIC YAAAASSSS

[@kaitlynfilms]

I love these vibes

[@maryouuuumma]

I just finished my study day (it’s nighttime where I’m from), so this is perfect for me to watch to relax and destress, whilst also getting me motivated for tomorrow’s study day :)

[@kaitlynfilms]

Aww :))

[@olivial5558]

It's so nice to see someone else who can understand what it's like to fall behind in school due to mental health. It's so stressful but at the same time kind of cathartic because you feel like you're coming out of a cave for the first time in a year when you finally start to get on top of things again lol. I've had one of these situations probably once a year since my freshman year of high school (I'm a sophomore in college now) and it sucks, but it's really just so nice to see someone putting out content like this and showing that they're not perfect and that it's okay to struggle with mental health and that having a couple bad weeks doesn't mean that there's no way out, or that you should just give up.

[@kaitlynfilms]

I’ve had a very similar experience. Thank you for sharing and I hope things get better❤️

[@julievandemoere1194]

My professors think that because we are all at home and don't have to commute we have like 10h extra in a day.. One of them literally told us today to watch SEVEN lectures before Tuesday.. I'm 11 lectures behind in that class, it's crazy

[@hiekfbisnl2772]

My university is the same! And I've actually received emails from professors saying that they've been inundated with emails from students saying that they're struggling with the workload!

[@julievandemoere1194]

@@hiekfbisnl2772 Same but our professors don't really care about that haha they just want to teach their class

[@Kimvddberg]

Don’t rewrite your notes now that you’ve fallen behind on a few classes. catch up and if you have time left later, then rewrite them. You can do it!!

[@kaitlynfilms]

Amazing tip!! Thank you!

[@rachaeldoesbeautyx3]

I'm in grad school right now and I'm about 3 weeks behind in my courses. This made me feel a lot less alone and a lot more motivated to keep moving forward :) thank you!!! we can do it!!

[@kaitlynfilms]

Aww thank you!!

[@ness3700]

I been enjoying your videos. Thank you for being so honest! I have been doing online school and have the privilege of quitting my job to focus on graduate school... however, let me tell you I have had zero motivation!! I am also so behind like almost two weeks and fall semester 1 ends this Sunday. Not to mention my sleeping schedule is so messed up too... I am happy that I am not the only one who is struggling. I am taking baby steps to focus on my mental and physical health... trust the process.....WE GOT THIS !!!

[@kaitlynfilms]

We do got this!! Thank you for sharing your experience❤️

[@AnimeJessica]

I admire you so much Kaitlyn! I had a similar experience when I was in university and I fell so far behind and it was my last semester before graduation. With my professors assisting me and using the same method you did, I was able to catch up and finish my semester and graduate on time! Here I am a couple years later and I am back in college for my ECE diploma for working with young children and I am trying so hard to stay ahead because the assignment load is SOOOO big! Your videos continue to inspire me and encourage me to keep pushing forward.

[@kaitlynfilms]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

[@martapintodealbuquerque1847]

A lot of what happens to you, happens to me. In you I find strength to focus in classes, even if everything else is not so good

[@alejandracruz8114]

I feel like making a to do list is the best way to keep yourself motivated and especially if you struggle with anxiety or something I totally recommend you guys to make a to do list every day just for that day and if you feel like you can do more make a to do list for the next day and start it. I have been doing this to do lists ever since I started college and it has made my online school experience better and less stressful

[@jamarievans2451]

Honestly same I use the same methods! I'm a Freshman in college and I'm in my 7th week and luckily I haven't fallen behind yet. :)

[@emelysosa1947]

Thank you so much for these videos and for being so real with us. I have been struggling with online classes and my mental health hasn't been the best. It's nice to know that I am not alone. You have helped with being so real. I thought I was the only one who felt like that and has been putting a lot of pressure to work on school all the time.

Since the very beginning of the semester I've been behind, barely getting my assignments done on time and not getting a single day to rest.

[@Cecilia-zz5vl]

I just came across your channel and I really admire your courage and determination. I have barley come out of my cave and I feel so behind but I won’t let that bring me down and I’ll try my best to regain myself. Just a tip, I saw a video where it talked about a 5 second rule. You basically have to get out of bed right after you gain consciousness from your sleep within 5 seconds. Doing so will determine your productivity during the rest of your day and it will keep you more motivated. I’m not really sure why but it’s something psychologically. So if anyone tends to look at their phone right when they wake up. You should get out of bed, stretch and then look at your phone so you are as productive as possible:)

[@mahnoornaz1351]

Hi Kaitlyn!! I am a Senior in HS right now. It's so hard for me mentally to do anything! I work 30 hours a week, taking high school and college classes and on top of everything applying to college. I just want to thank you for being a great inspiration I'm so glad that your youtube channel exists and that your advice does really help people out here. I have been struggling with mental health issues for a while now but it is even worse now with everything being online although we are doing some in-person classes at my college (I'm in an early college program). I'm scared to talk to my teachers about my mental health because I feel like I will be judged by my HS teachers and my Professors. Anyways I am applying to MSU and I'm not sure if ill get in because due to many family circumstances my GPA dropped ALOT second semester of sophomore year and the first semester of Junior year! Wishing you the best girly❤️ Love from NC💕

[@kaitlynfilms]

Hey!! I completely understand the stress of high school, it can be so overwhelming. Definitely try your best and apply to MSU! They have a high acceptance rate so don’t worry too much!!
