college study diaries vol 5: opening up a bit about thoughts and life

hello guys long time no see! this is more of a video to show you guys my current thought processes and where i'm at mentally rather than a typical study vlog. it's a bit messy but i feel better after having made it.
i tried to make minimal edits since i wanted the voiceover to be pretty much raw and straight stream of consciousness style, so a few clarificiations regarding the voiceover:
- the views expressed about healthcare and education are solely my opinions based on what i''ve seen and heard from other people, so take them with a grain of salt.
- i'm not saying that i will never pursue a career in healthcare ever in my life, only that i'm having trouble seeing myself pursuing it as of right now. and this is mostly regarding healthcare careers that have you working most hours in the hospital; i.e. physician, PA, nurse, NP, etc.
- tdlr: ya girl's feeling a bit lost rn.
might add more things if i think of anything else to expand on hehe
please leave any thoughts and experiences below only if you're comfy sharing them :)
also the timeline of the clips are super confusing lol don't think too much about them

    Don’t put so much pressure on yourself to figure out life right away. We all have our own journey and sometimes we have to try different things to learn more about ourselves which helps guide you along your path. Don’t worry about other people’s paths and you will find yours is that much more enjoyable 😉

    For me, it's not hypocritical at all to talk about your struggles in college at your study channel. Actually, it helps a lot to know that when people pass the stage of trying to get in college, not everything go on smooth and without any trouble. It's great to hear how it feels like to be a real college student. It's easy to make the mistake studying in a robotic way, without really thinking about your motivation and career, and because of that, your mental health end up being neglected. Thank you for sharing with us what you've been going through, sometimes it's great to know that I'm not the only one questioning every choice and step that I take sksksks

    Hey, I wanted to hop on here and share a little bit about my journey in college and the world of health care. I had known ever since I was little that I wanted to work in healthcare and that I wanted to be a doctor. I volunteered at my local hospital and really got to see all the different sides of healthcare. I volunteered at the maternity ward and even scrubbed in during surgical cases. I shadowed nurses and really got to see what a profession in healthcare really is about. I would go as far as to argue that any career in healthcare is a sacrifice. Sure, the majority of health care professionals like to help people but I think it is important to think realistically about what a career in healthcare actually means. I began to work as a pharmacy technician during my sophomore year of college and quickly realized that being a doctor was not what I wanted to be. Doctors make mistakes, work hard schedules, deal with insurance, and are in school for years. Now I know that you are a great student, but just because you can get the grades does not mean that you should pursue a medical degree. Classes only become harder, more stressful, and even more demanding than college. There are people out there that thrive in this kind of environment, but I quickly realized that I was not them. I loved working at the pharmacy and seeing my knowledge of Biochemistry being directly applied towards everything we did in the pharmacy. Basically, I realized that I wanted to help out people without necessarily spending another decade in school with more debt and having no life. Getting burnt out is a sign that you should definitely pay attention to. Changing your mind is something that can be scary, but I wish someone had told me when I was in your position that it was okay to realize that something you thought you liked suddenly doesn't represent who you are anymore. We grow up a lot during college and getting as much exposure as you can is definitely key. I know it's hard to do all this and get good grades and have a social life, but it is also foreshadowing the years to come. Listen to your gut, I am sure you will figure it out :)

    mann cafe convos would be the perfect talking title vids am I right or am i right also its perfectly fine not knowing what you wanna do yet, they say there can be joy in the unknown. Everyone's journey is different, and the paths we thought were paved can lead us to a different route. don't put so much pressure on yourself, you're doing great. Take it easy, as long as what field you chose to pursue is what you want and something you're passionate about, it doesn't matter if its med or not! i think we put too much pressure on ourselves, trying to solidify a career only for times sake, and not really thinking about if its what we want. Try things out and listen to your heart. One door closes and ten open

    My personal college experience is very similar! I went into undergraduate thinking I wanted to go down the pre-med path. After doing the classes and working as a scribe myself in an emergency department and urgent care, I realized it wasn’t for me. I sat down with myself and looked at what I really enjoy doing with my degree. I was super interested in biology and it was my favorite. After talking with a couple of my professors that I was relatively close with, I ended up switching into a more microbiology area for my undergraduate and graduate. It took me two years, almost three and working in a medical environment, to realize it wasn’t for me and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I feel much happier and more interested in my studies than before. Just follow what you think is best for you! I wish you the best in this adventure. 💖

    I’m a little older than you and I really want you to know that it’s okay to take your time. I wish I realized earlier that trying to match the pace of my life with my peers was never going to be viable. Some people have certainty earlier than others, and to be a later bloomer is to savour the journey to certainty. I actually only studied in university for a year (right before covid lmao) and then stopped to take a gap year realizing I didn’t want to go on the path I chose after all. I wish you lots of clarity and peace while you decide on what you want to do.

    It’s the way I’m going through the exact same thing and also realized all I want is to have my own little home just filled with books. Definitely learning to separate my identity around career and education and finding what I truly like to do and what I truly want for myself. It’s a huge reminder to know that we are still so young and have so much life ahead of us to make mistakes and be unsure. I bring you lots of love and reassurance on your journey! 🤍

    i honestly feel you, i used to take a health science pre med course and it made my mental health really bad, it felt like nothing was right for me and everyone around me was going through with it on their own pace while i was being left behind. it was even more difficult since i also don't really have the passion for it, until i finally took the risk to change degrees, i'm now a psychology student and will graduate a year late. and although it also have its ups and downs i feel more at peace and happy. your video really made me feel like i'm not alone and if anyone's also feeling the same, take things slowly and don't feel rushed and worry that you're not walking the same path as others. finding yourself will never be easy but it'll happen with time and patience :)

    i think all of us who study something related to healthcare goes through this.. during quarantine i was so unmotivated, i feel that i waisted 2 years of my life and i didn’t learn anything, i used to work a lot in some vet hospital and clinics and some days it was fun but some i really wanted to go home. I really thought about quitting but now that in my country classes are back to normal it feels like a dream… so if you don’t feel like you used to feel that’s ok, medicine and healthcare have so many areas to work with ❤️ an example of this is that my new “job” it’s inside Town council and it’s quite cool

    I think it's so admirable for you to not only try out the real-life experience of the medical field to see if you like it, but also LISTEN to your feelings about not feeling it! So many of us go through life doing things because we're "supposed to" without asking "is this even what I want?" I know how hard this can be, and I think it's amazing that you're reflecting on this in college. I switched majors my third year of college and then switched careers again 3 years out of college. No matter what happens, remember that you always have the capacity to grow and change. College may be the best time to learn and try things in a structured environment, but you can change your path in college, after college, and even way later in life! Nothing we do is fixed and I believe every experience we have leads us closer to who we want to be. So all that to say, just keep doing what you're doing. Try things out, listen to what you like and don't like, talk to people, and keep an eye out for new doors opening for you :)

    Honestly as a soon to be graduate nurse student , you can still be in the medical/healthcare field and have your hobbies, it takes a lot of discipline though and juggling between work , social and alone activities to reach a sort of balance. I see doctors about to finish their career or ones who are in the middle of it still having time for their family and for hobbies such as anime or tv shows or readings. I hope you find a career where you don't get bored but that always excites you

    Hi! I know it’s been a month since you posted this video and some people have already mentioned this but honestly, I don’t think that you talking about your struggles is hypocritical, rather I feel that this will help people become a bit more motivated. The reason for this is because the study gram community is mainly focused on the positive aspects and doesn’t really mention the hardships that one can encounter which would lead to people feeling unmotivated since they’ll think that they are doing things wrong or are not fit for studying because they aren’t having the positive and easy experience of studying that they see online. Well, at least that’s how I feel. Honestly, you talking about your struggles has helped me realize that I’m not the only one who struggles to study or to find a path for myself :) (I really hope this makes sense😭)

    Hi Isabelle, I really relate to everything you've talked about so thank you for sharing! I've been feeling the same for the past two years, going back and forth as to whether I should become a lawyer, knowing that I'm capable of pursuing this path but it's just that I'm not very keen about the work hours with the lack of work life balance, the toxic environment etc. I find that I don't have the same level of passion in comparison to my peers and I love investing my time in my hobbies too. These past few months especially have been mentally exhausting since I'm nearing the end of my bachelor's degree and I'm "supposed to have" made a decision as to my next steps :') It's been difficult finding the right people to talk about this since not many understand my struggle and the weight behind my concerns thus I've mostly kept it to myself too. I've changed my mind so many times within a couple of months, and it has been extremely terrifying and unsettling almost as if I don't have a fixed career goal or aspiration in life unlike everyone else. I'm still figuring these things out in my final semester, and hopefully both of us will turn out okay! Reading the comments here have been very reassuring as well :D will be supporting in whatever you intend to pursue in the future!

    I completely understand how you're feeling about the path you're walking on. I'm about to graduate from college soon and even though I'm hoping to be able to apply for medical school, a lot of the toxicity my school has for prehealth has caused me to reevaluate my decision numerous times in the past year. I've had similar thoughts about the lifestyles many doctors live as well as the difficulties just to become a doctor, both financially and mentally, and at the end of the day, I decided to not stress too much over the path I'll walk. I recently just sat for my MCAT exam, and afterwards I came to the realization that just being able to get through the exam is an accomplishment in and of itself and even if medical school is not in my future, I can still go down other paths in healthcare and be able to make an impact on patients. With that being said, I think it's wonderful that you're very much in tune with how you feel and you're giving everything a lot of thought as I didn't start thinking about this stuff til my 4th year of college. But regardless of what you decide and how others may feel about your decision, happiness and health are most important so please keep yourself in mind! **I also completely relate to the stuff about the little things in life. Maybe it's because I'm getting old? But throughout all the stress of balancing school and work, I always come back to this lingering thought that all I want in the future is a house with lots of natural light and cozy vibes, and I just want to have my own personal library and spend my days reading. Cheering you on from NYC~

    Don't put too much stress on yourself when it comes to majors or your "path". I'm currently majoring in nursing and constantly battle with myself on whether I should reconsider my career pathway. When you're close to the finish line you tend to look back at the other ways you could have gotten here, but its important to look in front of you and know that you will find your happy, perfect place within your career. It may not be clear or quick but you'll get there. Medical careers are hard right now, and as we move into those jobs we'll be picking up the pieces left behind to repair what's there. Don't fret, you're almost there, almost in the next phase of your lifetime!

    I knew I wanted to be a lawyer since I was 15. I also considered being a vet but I though I wouldn't be able to take it mentally. I got in. And I was waiting for the spark. First year is lots of history courses, human rights, entry level classes. It was boring. Made it to the second year. Still waiting for it to click. It didn't happen. It was so boring. I loved understanding things and at my classes 80% had to be memorized which was too much. 3rd year passed and it never clicked. I lost my motivation completely, failed a bunch of classes, had almost a mental breakdown because I invested so much time, money and effort into something I hated with passion. I finished 2 next years in 3.5 years with some hiccups on the way but got my degree. What turned me off was also other people in the field. Yikes. Lawyers are just... not the kind of people I want to be around all day till I am 65. I am a programmer now :p Love my job to an extent that you can love a job and I am very happy with my career :) All that to say that we make choices and they are not always right but they can set us to the right one. We learn more about ourselves in the process so it's not time wasted.

    As a college freshman, I honestly feel you. Although you said a lot of things were oversimplified, I guess I’ll explain my mini story. I also just want to say you’re very brave for saying these things. If I’m being completely honest with the world, I’m studying to become a speech pathologist, and it’s mainly because my mother wanted to become one (she studied for it in undergrad but didn’t go into graduate school), but couldn’t. I was lucky enough to go to a college tuition free, and don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful, but the more I learn about this subject, the less passionate I feel about it. Sure, it’s cool to learn about phonetics, but then I’m going to have to go to graduate school for this, and I honestly do not know if I want to do more schooling. I believe you mentioned how nothing clicked for you in regards to working as a scribe in the hospital (sorry if I’m miswording you) and I honestly feel similar in the sense that nothing is clicking for me in my studies. There’s no moment, as of now, that made me think “oh wow I want to do this for sure.” The one time I ever felt something truly clicked for me was when I did a creative writing college course for free while in high school. I’m someone who loves to create things (whether through singing, writing or drawing, as I took graphic design in hs) and not getting the time to do these things now sometimes really hurts the soul. Anyways enough of my rambling. I just wanted to say stay strong and good luck on your journey. Please take care of yourself ❤️

I need to accept the fact that I can't go to my dream college while my friend can, it feels like I just spend my parent's money and did nothing to giving it back. I looks just okay, pushing myself, getting good grades but ended up having a breakdown and scared to open my computer eventhough I need to touch my computer all the time bcs I'm an IS student. I feel like I keep running away from myself as I grow older, I also feel empty and feel unable to control my thought. I think I just need to know that everything is okay, I need people who tells me that it's okay. It's simple but for me, who never going out nor having a courage to tell my friend, it's a BIG problem. Thank you for sharing your thought. I'll look forward to this kind of video. 😊🤗😌

    Hi! Isabella. TBH this videos eerily resonated with me most definitely because we're both in the same position. I've recently been trying to expose myself to more realistic healthcare/medicine-related content as I'm studying for my pre-med courses. All the things you highlighted as being detrimental for you career-wise are very valid and so very true. I'm someone who values a good work-life balance (reading books, going on drives, exploring new hobbies, etc etc during my free time) BUT after realizing the reality of healthcare professionals, I've come to a point where I fear that everything I'm working towards may be useless if I find myself quitting my job after putting in so much effort. I've also been reading a lot of commentary by current doctors/nurses/healthcare professionals talk about daily life struggles and lately the reality that I've been unaware of has been glaring me in the face. As a 19-year-old soon to be 20, I find myself struggling at a crossroad. My 18-year-old self has definitely seen better days ahaha ... But I personally think it would be detrimental to put off making a final decision for too long. Personally, I wouldn't want to put in years of effort only to realize that I'm not cut out for it. I hope I'm able to stick to my current career path despite the obvious hurdles but that may also not be the case. Only time will tell ... hopefully I make up my mind soon enough ... whether to keep it or drop it...

I graduated law school last year, may 2021, and i graduated wondering what i had just done for 3 years and what i was going to do from then on. i knew i liked environmental law and i knew that i wanted to affect the current laws but sometime during my 3 semesters during the pandemic, i realized that i also kind of hated law. law school was a terrible experience and the internships i had werent the most interesting and i was just kind of lost. the only thing i really had was the structure of studying for the bar. i studied, maybe not as much as i should have but just like you said, i didnt really feel motivated to study. maybe subconsciously my brain was thinking that if im not interested in law, why am i wasting time studying.i ended up not getting the score i needed so i signed up for the next bar exam. and about a week before that, i had a slight mental breakdown because i didnt feel prepared enough and i didnt know what i wanted to do and i wasnt sure if i was taking the bar because i wanted to be an attorney or if i felt like i had to because i went to law school. immediately after i finished crying, it occurred to me that in the 9 years since junior year of high school i had never once had a real break and that i was in a constant state of burn out. So i withdrew from the bar exam and i have spent the last 3 months doing absolutely nothing but what i want. Ive picked up new hobbies, gone to concerts, read books. and during that time, where i was finally able to relax, i realized that i dont want to be an attorney. i like the law and i want to have some connection to it but going to court or sitting in a conference room is not what is best for me. i had it in my head for 3 years that the path i chose in junior year of college, to be an attorney, was the only path i could be on. because past me thought it was a good idea. what im trying to say is that while past you might have thought being a doctor was the best choice because you have the grades and its stable, it might not be the best choice for present you. if youre not looking forward to putting on that white coat one day, for yourself not for anyone else, and if youre hoping that you fail an exam so that you have an excuse, it might be time to decide if what used to be the best choice still is. and maybe being a doctor is still the path for you, but maybe being an er doctor isnt it. maybe joining a practice or being a specialist. or taking your knowledge and joining an ngo. just because you once thought something was what you wanted for yourself doesnt mean that it is whats best or yourself. i hope this helped, i remember the existential college crisis all too well, and i wish that present me could have talked to me back then.

    Hey! I've been watching your videos since 2020, and I've got to say, your aesthetic is one of its own. It's full of things I totally want to see in my own life. My life growing up was more than chaotic, and now that I'm 18 and in college, it's awesome to be able to integrate parts of my life into this new lifestyle. I'm 2/3 of the way through my path to achieving my accelerated degree of science for Psychology, and I'm hoping to transfer and start over again so that I can study neuroscience (and a second degree that I haven't quite settled on yet. I'm still deciding). I love chemistry, biology, microbiology, anatomy and physiology, and most of all - the brain! Going into the medical field is unreasonably unhealthy - your grades should never be your worth as a student, or a future doctor. Grades should not be prioritized over someone's hunger for learning and experiencing new things, especially in the medical field. I hope for a change in the near future for this. You are so much more than you know, and I'm grateful you chose to share your thoughts and feelings with us. Sending love from Indiana!

    Hey I went through the same struggle of questioning if my career (dentistry) was the right one for me. The way I decided that it was actually right for me was through actually shadowing a dentist. I found it better to see how they work and ask questions about their day to day to really understand what the job is like. This as well as understanding if the career path works for you. The scope of what you saw in medicine may not be accurately reflected in what the career really holds. Not all specialities and types of doctors work the same as ones in the ER. Shadow different doctors and see if you still like it

    My experience is the same, since i was little, even if i was good in maths, environment and arts; i have always been between the 3 of them. When i was 16 i decided that i wanted pursue arts because it looked cool and fun (as some youtubers painted it to be), little i knew that getting creative block was a constant struggle for once i got into college. I had (and still i do) so many troubles thinking if im good enough, competing in the art industry is difficult; getting constantly depressed of this with my self-steem and family issues has been really hard that i had to quit art school for literally 2 years. I tried to change degree to veterinary but didnt got accepted (teh acceptance criteria in latam is very confusing), but i was accepted in environmental engineering in a school that was 1:30 far from my home on car(if i had to go on bus prob it would have taken me 3 hours); eventually 3 days after receiving classes, i decided quickly that i wanted to keep studying arts? I still get mental breakdowns daily where i start crying of not knowing what ill do in the future. Inside me i know that if i kept with engineering i would have followed the same path? Or maybe not by knowing i would have a “secured job”. Eventually i think i want be an IB art teacher since there aren’t many on the field… love art history and experimentation, and maybe that is the “line” that i want to continue, not specifically competing in the art market/industry. But who knows, maybe id change my mind tomorrow? Get another su1c1d3 attempt because once id not know what to do with my future and not depend on my parents as i do now that im 21. With this video im kinda relief someone who is following med school thinks deeply like me. I have a cousin of my age who is pursuing med school too, but she never had any doubts on what she wanted to be (sometime she does but she means it as a joke), i wish i was like her.

    Hi! Just wanted to tell you to trust your gut. Listen to what your intuition is saying, and go with it. I know we may expect a sign or someone to tell us the right path, but sometimes our intuition is trying to tell us something and we just tend to put it aside. Also, if for whatever reason you take a path that you don’t like, you can pursue another one. It sounds daunting and I know we want all the right answers right away, but I feel like the road to self discovery is long and no one has everything figured out at 19. Take your time, listen to that little voice inside you and things will fall in place :)

    i’m in my last year of highschool and i do want to come back and comment properly, but i just wanted to say that i hope you don’t feel pressured to ‘ be a role model’ to your viewers!! i have been a viewer for over 2 years now and i think that’s an unfair amount of pressure for you, who is also just figuring out her life, to take (?) im sorry if my wording is not the best but. it’s your channel, that depicts *your* life. the life of a student, *any* student will never be perfect. there are always doubts and struggles. it isn’t hypocritical at all to show that side of student life. again, sorry if my wording isn’t correct( english is not exactly my first language rip) but i hope you understand what i’m trying to say

    I’m in med school in france and while it’s probably a little different (probably a lot haha) and I doubted it a lot but you also have to know that medicine is soooo large like there are specialties where you also have time for yourself and your life, and you might find one specialty not fun at all but you might find another one very interesting and finally see yourself working as that? Also pre med is not reflecting what you learn in actual med school which is usually a lot more realistic! (I’m not trying to convince you to pursue medicine hahaaa it’s just that I was once in your position thinking that this was not for me either) but I would advice trying maybe shadowing in other specialties than for example the er if that’s possible for you? Of course listen to yourself and that’s a huge decision that only concerns you and you have to take only yourself and what you want for your decision and not what other people think that’s the most important I think.. hope you just do whatever you want in the end!!

    i understand what you are going through right now. college life is confusing and a struggle at some point, and i admire your confidence to show the other aspect of learning which is losing interest. i myself experience the same thing, and with you telling your journey in this video, it makes me feel that i am not alone and perhaps have this series as an open notebook to share, prosper, and grow together.

    Not all doctors are like that though. It’s mostly the ER doctors that tend to be more workaholics, I guess you could say. My sister and her husband are both family medicine (my sister is working as a psychiatrist though) and they have lives outside of work. They go out with friends, they go to Disneyland, they spend time with their daughter, they go on vacations, etc. I know plenty of doctor/dentist families who go on vacations pretty regularly (it seems), .. But if you feel like medicine is not for you, find your true passion. You don’t even need to become a doctor; you can do admin, research, work in a lab if that’s your thing, healthcare education, etc.

    I am not in college yet but yes I wanted to be a Internist from childhood and as you said that your mom is a doctor so you grew up wanting to be a doctor, It's same case for me the only difference is that my dad is a doctor so I grew up thinking it's an amazing job, I can help many people but when I was in 10th grade, during our practicals I wasn't even able to see a surgery video, my hands started shaking and that's when I thought maybe it's not something I can do and when I got in 11th grade I told my dad I don't want to be a internist, I would rather become something else so my dad & my whole family gave me time to think about what I want. And at the end I still selected science as my compulsory subject but I will be studying medicines later when I go to college. I still don't know how is it going to be but I guess it's better than that. It's really good you're taking time to think. I'd love to hear more life update from you. Idk why but it really motivated me.

    im now a final year med student, and it's true that it's very difficult go down this path without a very solid interest & tough spirit to keep going. just interest alone is really not enough to get through the tough years of sacrificing yourself especially if you felt they jeopardise your happiness. just do whatever makes you happy!!

    You might like biological engineering (making prosthetics = still helping people!) and it’s more hands-on, you could probably go into masters in it from a biology degree. Or maybe you would like wildlife rehabilitation if you like hands-on. If you want to go into med school still, there’s lots of jobs that have a 9-5 or choose your hours schedule, such as dermatology or orthopedic surgeon. Lots of options with a biology degree!

    It actually is so much better that you said it because I feel so seen. It's helpful to show people how to study better but also that for many uni isn't rainbow land. A lot of us don't really like what we're doing but the goal end job might appeal to us so we trudge through. So it's not stupid or childish or selfish to just say that it doesn't appeal to you anymore now that you've seen the reality of it and what it entails. Why would you _have to_ have a life where you give up something you don't feel like giving up for a career you're not 100% committed to? Point is, thanks for finally being someone who doesn't pretend uni rules😂

    I love this kind of video so much. Opening up to your struggles is definitely not hypocritical at all! I could relate with you so much. For me, I have less than 3 years of medical school left (our education system adapted the british system) so I'm still in my early 20s. Being thrown into a world full of responsibilities and making a mistake deemed as a failure really wrecked my mental health. I'm still thinking whether medicine is for me or not. :/
