Yeah, but if someone rejects your romantic advances because you don’t play a specific instrument, then that person is more shallow than a backyard pool and definitely won’t show you any affection

@@nacitalatincirli793 Sure if you want to take no context from the song "But it doesn't really sit with me quite right, cause he doesn't really like the things I like" - She's scared they won't have things in common, she then says "He's so Handsome, he's so kind" so she's seeing his virtues but is still scared, and her friend are Chiding her for the fact she's rejected him for a very poor reason Colin then shows he's willing to put time in to have something in common with her, hence her change to "If it's ment to happen it'll happen any way"

@@dhruvtiwari45 I mean, given how much of the song is about the flurry of nonsense and emotions and "AWH CRAP I LOCKED MYSELF OUT OF MY ROOM AGAIN!" going on in there, the idea that she's making impulsive, imperfect decisions is just kind of baked into it. It's not even inherently about "trying to look cool in front of others", it can be something as simple as "I always pictured myself with a musical boyfriend, if it's going to happen, I gotta try to find them in my college years", you know? Like, sure, it's shallow, but a lot people haven't really found their depth 2 days into college, as it were.

Honestly, I'm kind of in the "Wow, that's pretty shallow and kind of cringe" camp myself (though I've seen some interesting takes that give it a bit more grounding than that), but I understand what purpose depicting the protagonist like that serves to the narrative the song is creating, so I figured I'd share the nuance, as it were.

Lyrics:I'm two days into college And I'm three lectures behind There's this guy, let's name him Colin He says he wants to be mine But it doesn't really sit with me quite right 'Cause he doesn't really like the things I like And I keep accidentally locking myself out of my dorm In the middle of the night I wake up kinda wired And I wake up kinda cold And I wake up kinda tired But I'll just sleep in when I'm old See, I don't like breaking rules But don't like doing as I'm told So, I just float around and keep my head down And hope my life unfolds And everybody's telling me that I'm doing so well I try to trust them, honestly I find it hard to tell If I need work or I need rest I try my best to try my best I tell myself, I say out loud "It's fine, I'll figure it all out" I tend to forget I'm still only quite young In a way this life of mine has only just begun I've got time I've got time I'm two days into college With a busy, busy mind That guy that we named Colin He's so handsome, he's so kind My friends tell me I'm crazy Say I take it way too far 'Cause I told him that it's over 'Cause he doesn't play guitar I'm only two days into college And my bedroom is a mess There's just so much that I want to do That I have not done yet There's just so much that I want to say And far too little breath Oh, my mind it runs so far away It's easy to forget That to everybody else it looks like I'm doing so well I try to see it, honestly I find it hard to tell If I've done wrong or I've done right I need a good night's sleep tonight They said, "Go out," I said, "Alright" I think I won't, I maybe might I probably should just take it slow I'll be all good But, God, I know The one thing that's important above everything else Is to learn not to put all this heavy pressure on myself I try believe it when I say "If it's meant to happen, it'll happen anyway I'll be fine" I've got time I've got time That's where I'm at, to be honest Just two days Two days into college

This song really speaks to me. I'm 14 years old and started university a few months ago, but I still feel like I'm behind (and kind of a failure) since I got held back a year in elementary school. That feeling pushed me to work hard to get to the point I'm at right now, but it also led me to self harm and hate myself for being "behind". The truth is, I'm still a young whippersnapper, and have my whole life ahead of me. I also am, in fact, quite ahead; it's hard for me to understand that after getting held back, but I'm learning to make peace with myself about it, and this song (and animation) is helping me do that.

I love the visual of the pressed key where she’s laying descending way too far as she thinks about all the pressures and expectations that she feels. The brief perspective where she’s looking up at the sky with the surrounding keys like skyscrapers, making her feel so small and trapped. But as she reminds herself that she isn’t in a rush, that she has plenty of time to do all the things she wants, the key rises back up to a normal level, leaving her to climb out on her own now that its feasible for her to do so. It adds a whole new layer to the already impactful lyrics that even someone who has already finished college still can relate to. Thank you for making this animation. It really helps me feel like I wasn’t alone, that my college experience wasn’t that of some loser who couldn’t get her crap together, but a completely normal experience that many have and many still do struggle with.

This means I'll be done by 27 when my friends are all graduating this year. 27 is such a daunting number when taking into consideration the fact that i have no prior job experience -at least none that i can put on my resume. Gee, if i was rich i wouldn't be losing sleep over this but as someone who lives in a household that's half a brush away from real poverty... I genuinely feel like jumping over a bridge over how long it's gonna take me to finish. Much more find a job. The line where it's all like 'the most important thing is to learn' feels so significant for me because i came into this, so excited. Now, I'm just terrified and scared and angry - and so hopelessly lost. It's like my life's a series of consequences i keep having to deal with from actions that aren't even my own. I'm not two days into college. I'm a year into it. I'm not quite young anymore. I'm 23. I get out of this at 27. Nearing my thirties and just about to get my first real job. The pandemic hit and my life went out of control. I'm still trying to get the years i lost back when the true reality is I've already lost four.

Besides, it’s not like your life isn’t just going to be getting that degree. You’re going to have your own rich experiences during that time. And you’ll continue doing so after. Life doesn’t end at 25 or 30 or 35.

Hey, you're there and doing it. There's no actual race in life, everyone does everything in their own time. You may have had to push it to just get to this point while it feels like everyone is ahead or where they are supposed to be. But life isn't that simple. You made it, you're doing it and you have so much more to do. Keep strong and keep your head up, because you are where you need to be now. Enjoy the moment you're in and shake off any pressure insecurity and frustration. There isn't much other purpose in life than to be positive any time you can and live in it. Kinda like building a sandcastle. It's gonna wash away and it's probably not gonna be a perfect build. But it's the only one we've got right now so you gotta give it everything you have, look at it kindly, and have fun.

I thought I was too late for a lot of things at 27 too. Those in their thirties reassured me that actually even at 27 I still had a lot of time to do what I needed to do. Eventually, you come to terms with the fact that things happen when they are meant to happen, and you will be ready when you are ready - regardless of your age compared to everyone else's. Heck, when I was in uni, one of my classmates was in his 40s doing his first bachelors because he had been a carpenter all his life, but arthritis meant he couldn't work with his hands anymore. By the time he graduated, he was 50 and looking for his first engineering job. So don't fret! If it can happen for him, it can happen for you. And honestly? Enjoy those college days! In some ways it's the last time you have a semi-flexible schedule - and college can be so much fun if you let it! Join that acapella choir! Audition for that play! Play in that band! Join that writing circle! Play that intramural sport! Join student council! Or just study outside and enjoy the sun! Or whatever it is that floats your boat. Heck, some schools even have internships during the summer that you can apply for so that you CAN pad up that resume a bit. You've got this!

I'm in a similar situation - precarious finances and all. Certainly no generational wealth, either. I'm 23 myself, and I started college in Autumn of 2019, went all the way out to Boston. Things were going sort of OK, sort of not, but I was still hopeful. Then the pandemic hit, and now it's somehow four years later, and I'm back home, still stalled halfway to a degree with a dogshit GPA. For me, it's the line near the middle: "There's just so much that I want to do that I have not done yet." I guess it's important to remind ourselves that, even though we may not be 19 anymore, we are still quite young. That's so easy to say, believe me, I know. I'm afraid my life is slipping away from me. In a lot of ways, it feels like it already has. She repeats the line, "I've got time." I just can't help but feel that I've already burned too much of it.

Hey, just wanted to respond and say that I know exactly what you mean by this. I came out of high school having barely tried and always succeeded. In college I felt so vastly overwhelmed by everything I needed to do and when I brought it up with literally anybody i knew, they told me something along the lines of "You're the smartest person I know, I'm sure you will figure this out". 3 years in and I genuinely was having difficulty holding it together. Living on my own only worsened my issue and I eventually moved back in with my parents. Among many other mental stresses that caused me to break down into tears a few times because I was drowning under the issues I kept getting told I would figure out. I got therapy, which helped a lot because that semester was when my genuine fears of failing out of college in front of everybody I knew came true. I spent the semester considering a lot of "ways out" and while my therapy had been targeted at my relationship with my parents, it became how I handled failure. I was fortunate that I had a therapist that really helped me through what was at that point the lowest I had ever been. I did get suspended from college, and I did fail every course that semester. I just want to let you know that it can get better even at that lowest point. My parents did understand to some degree, and my friends were there with me to help me through it. Once I got over my suspension period, I got back into it and while I did have to pay it out of pocket I had time to sort out a lot of person issues and evaluate what college course load worked for me. I reduced the hours I took and made sure that I avoided stacking hard classes together like Calculus and Physics for an example. It took me another 7 years to finish my degree because I got married in the meantime, went to a community college instead of the university to knock out more common courses I could transfer that wouldn't cost as much and be closer, and took much smaller course loads so that I wouldn't get overwhelmed. I'm not saying your path through college will be like mine, but I do want to say that its okay to fail. It's okay to take less classes or put off a class til later because you have other hard classes you don't want to take it with. Most people I knew in high school were done 6 years before I got my degree and moved on with their lives while I stayed put in University, and it was okay. You are definitely not alone, with people currently in college and with people who have been through college and are on the other side. Don't let your fear of disappointing others or failing in front of them cause you to take more work than you can handle. Pace yourself. I hope this helps in some way, because I wish somebody had told me sooner that people wouldn't think less of me if I took 10 or 12 hours and got Bs or Cs in them instead of trying 15-16 hours and passing some with As and others with Fs.

The visual storyline of this video is freaking fantastic. Not only repeating visuals, visuals that also represent the instruments, but using the visuals to convey improvement and continue the story beyond the lyrics themselves. And despite the ends of the video being the same is great for social media replays, it’s also great because it’s like even though she is better, the real problem isn’t feeling better, it’s reminding yourself to work on yourself every day. This basically means the song is good for the third day of college, and the fourth, and so on. Which is so freaking awesome because say you don’t even want to hear the song anymore, it’s still applicable every day, giving the song even more replay ability. MAJOR props to the artist

I love the line "If its meant to happen it will happen anyway", it reminds me that though we may try to take hold of the reigns of life, we really do not have control of how things will ultimately end up. Therefore, is there really a point to trying? Is it better to live a life paddling against the current; trying to make something out of what has not been allotted to you, or ride the current; taking advantage of the opportunities as they present themself. Guys, time is not endless, yet that does not mean we should live in a way where we fight against time, live the moment, yet not in a way to burn away the time allotted in a life.

Damn I could’ve used this song in college. I graduated high school at 18 as the straight A, honor society, extracurricular queen, but after trying to be independent too early, I didn’t go into a 4-year university which I saw as a failure for a long time. I worked full time for awhile but ended up moving home then did community college for my general credits. It took me about 3 years to do what most did in 2. I learned how to make mistakes and fail, hardcore. By the time I transferred to a 4-year university I knew myself so much better. I graduated. Struggling with depression and staving off alcoholism, I not only made a feature-length documentary that won best picture at a festival, but I got THAT job, that one that checked all the boxes, that I never anticipated to even get an interview. TLDR: two days into college, I didn’t know myself. Two years into college, I knew a whole lot more about myself. I overcame, got a degree, and got where I belonged. If you’re only two days into college, take a breath. You’ve got time to make mistakes and learn from them. You’ll get where you’re meant to be.
