In this video I talk about what to do if you are failing at University, if you’ve failed and how to work to get back to where you want to be. Failing can be really tough on your mental health, and from my experience not only that but your physical health. Here's some motivational stories to hopefully get you through.
Hope you guys really enjoy this one and it helps you out, as always, subscribe to the channel for more if you like the vibes.
When I studied at University, it was failing classes that allowed me to see my wrongdoings. Up until that point I was living out a pretty sad existence, not trying hard, getting poor grades, but once I'd actually failed a class, that was enough for me to see that a change was needed. If you are in a slump at university, it might be time to re-evaluate your position. Could you be working harder? Is your lifestyle good enough to succeed? What changes can you make to make your experience at University worthwhile. The whole point of being there is to obtain qualifications (among other social aspects) and if you are failing then it shows that something along the line is going wrong.
For me personally, this also allowed me to see that in other areas of my life, there were also a lot of things turning out negatively. My physical and mental health were both nosediving due to the amount of alcohol I was consuming, the lack of sleep I was getting, and the lack of attendance my lectures were getting. All of this amassed to a very sad time, and fortunately for me, when I started failing and took a look in the mirror, I managed to realise that all of these things were contributing to not only me failing, but the sadness I was feeling. It was time to make a change. And here I am, to tell the tale.
Lots of love,
Niall
