My name is Aldrich! I’m a final year engineering student at the University of Sheffield.
The journey was not as happy as it seems. I failed Year 12 and I retook my A-levels. I was never that naturally smart kid, or one of those people who had insane levels of motivation. I was never in Set 1 in Secondary School either but here I am, I’ve created a channel where you can expect videos on uni lifestyle, productivity, and self-improvement!
I’m going to finish Uni this year but, before I go, I want to be transparent with you and share how I overcame my monsters, the tragedies of adulting, and share with you my story so far in my quest to live a happy life. I want to have this minor area of the internet where I can just be my confident and authentic self, and bring value to people who watch my videos!
Hopefully, it’s relatable, you can laugh along with me and it widens your perspective of life!
I upload every Monday, so be sure you’re subscribed to stay on top of my adventures!

Hi, thank you for this video, did you have to pay for retaking your alevels?
now i am at this situation last year i graduted untill now i dont have any idea what i do with my life😐i feel a lost 💔
thanks buddy i really needed that
Where did he vanish to
Can you study at home and just go to your original school to attend the exam?
i feel so stressed, im so afraid of failing.
Yo, thank you for giving me a reality check. Maybe I've been so obsessed with getting an iPad because I thought it would fix my awful study habits, but no. If I got an iPad right now, I would not make the most out of it because I would keep procrastinating as usual. What I'll do is improve my study habits, then once I prove I can consistently do that for a long time, then _maybe_ I'll buy an iPad or something similar as a reward.
Hello aldrich , I'm now in the same position as you were , I'm also want to start a new career , from bio degree , I want to switch to coding or digital marketing or design field (filmmaking ) but I don't have any idea what to choose !
I am 22 and still in high school,(A levels) any advice for me ? : (
Best math video ever watched never wathced a video that talked about math as simple
Did you retake both years or one year?
What exam board did you do
Just wanted to say some kind words here. Thank you so much for this video. I will take my A-Levels rly soon! And it makes me a bit nervous. I have done well in year 12, I barely done any prep, cheated on workpacks, but I could easily solve questions, hence I got an A in year 12 mocks. I was lucky. But then, in year 13 my approach deceived me, and it caused me getting a D in January Mock. I feel like an abomination now after such a result and my ethics, even tho I don’t apply it to my other subjects. I need to be working on myself, I know. I know I fucked myself up, but it’s never too late. If I have turned my grade in computer science from E to A, it means I can do the same in maths. Your video motivated me to keep my shit together and get through this, thank you! P.s. Just a note to people reading this, don’t make my mistakes, please. Never cheat on the prep, take your time to learn the topic, but don’t be lazy. And don’t be afraid to ask questions! Further maths students, teachers, friends who have done well in exams, don’t be shy to collaborate!
Amazing, super useful, also, what is this guy drinking, it can’t be good!
pink fart
Can we resit for exams after 5 years gap??
Super underrated channel imo.
Excellent video
So so glad I've stumbled upon this as I was just receiveing my Alevel results.. Got me on my very rock bottom at the moment but after watching this, It really does change my whole perspective & mindset. Thank you
I'm touched bro. I'm legit tearing up cause I really relate. I'm a mess a the moment. I'm retaking a year and I still feel like a failure and I'm almost done with my first semester. But this has really changed my mindset and I'm feel like I'm going to kill it. Thank you ❤
Thank you g
i have 2 weeks to be able to sign myself off the logic exam in cs, so i am going to cram all of that stuff in 12 days. wish me luck and great video!!
how was it
I choose not to write that exam, i still did not really understand the topic. I would advise to learn with other people tbh and not do it all alone...🤧
help i got an E in As level maths pleaseeee drop practice tips on how i can improveeeeeee???
i finished AS withs Us, i got my first A in an exam last month. hard work works
‘Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard enough’, that’s one of the most inspiring quotes I’ve heard ❤️
11 days 😅
Got EDD in my December mocks, think it’s wraps, I’m in year 13
@@nashparbhu in my most recent mocks i got BCC, my actual exams are in under a month
just wanted to know if you still use the paperlike screen protector
Are predicted grades important for university applications? How would that work if im a private canditate?
VERY
I cannot follow along with this video....too much hand movement...thanks
You don`t have to watch it. But you chose not to listen to it.
You cannot have anything in that cup you are holding.
Thanks man, I'm self studying maths with the goal of ending this june. I took two sciences at a level and couldn't handle maths (physics and med) on top of them. I do also have other self learning topics (japanese and spanish) so I can switch without burning myself out
On the same boat aswell, I’d rather learn maths myself at home than take an extra subject at school.
Amazing video, thanks bro Which paper templates size do u use in good note app
I'm planning to self-teach myself A Level Maths alongside my full-time BTEC and this video was quite helpful, thanks!
how's it going?]
@@darkpenguin196I, ah, may have taken a break for a month 😅Getting back into the groove of it now some college projects are being wrapped up and it's not going too badly. Quite hard to find online resources though, there's tons for GCSE but barely any for A Level which is unfortunate. Just working through my CGP textbook (revision + practice), doing the practice questions and looking up videos for examples when I get confused. I also happen to have a friend who's done A Level maths before so I ask them stuff occasionally :)
Damn that's sorta cool. I do a full-time BTEC and wanna do the same.
thank you so much for this !
i made the mistake of not taking any notes during my two years in school, so im gonna use this third year to try to catch up before they take me out the classes for good lol
I'm in year 13 and I have been fallen behind so much in maths, especially this year. Do you think starting this kind of revision from November is too late ?
its never too late to start. its better to start earlier, but late is better than never. good luck!
same man hopefully we can get back on top
Are predicted grades important for university applications?
yes thats the grade which is sent to them @@randomfellow1483
Hi there. Could you help me to figure out which iPad should I go with? I can buy an iPad air 5 for $370 and 12.9” m1 iPad Pro for $620. (Both are used and I have a macbook air as well.) My main usage will be note taking, reading news, papers, articles, watching youtube videos and mostly for the educational purposes.
Ipad air 5th gen is enough
I did fail in my Olevels only in math couldn't give the retake due to corona now i dont want to study anymore it feels pointless i am trying to learn data science or do something else i just dont want to be in any type of competition anymore not worth it after all all of this is just business and politics they purposely will make you fail for their own benefit. A strange thing is that there are no limits given to pass even if you pass in one subjects it actually means pass it is just the university that makes things difficult they create these standards that you need to get this to pass.
Also crying for help as a 22 yr old 🥲
Does this also apply for further maths?

I'm retaking gcses this year, do you guys think it's possible to take A levels in one year, and providing that I have private tutoring and intense revision
bunch of degenerates. all being sloppy and sweaty jumping and screaming aimlessly to overplayed music, find something better to do 😭😭😭
Thank you for being dumb
at the moment im supposed to be doing my A-Levels but instead doing As-Levels because i had to repeat igcse. im sad that all my friends will graduate this yr while ill be doing my A levels next yr. u have any advice to stop overthinking abt these stuff.
Just came back to watch some of the older videos from you. I found the channel from the 'iPad vs Laptop for Engineering' video, but I stayed for the mindset and discipline lessons that you me. Hope you're doing well Aldrich! University is starting in a few weeks and I'm honestly gassed because I'm ready to grind through this second year. Much love - Arman
As a student who got 6 stars and 2 A in olevels and now 3 A in alevels I can guarantee you that if you do every single thing he mentioned in the video you will for sure get an A star
Thank you 👍
thank you for this, I'm starting my a a levels tmr and I was very nervous for maths, so thank you so much, this was so specifc and detailed so much appreciated :)
Redoing a levels in 2 days, thanks for posting 😭
Yes!! You're going to do sick!
