[rikamajica]

listening to this song knowing that I dont get straight A's

[toast]

This song represents this much of me :
'Insomnia'
'Eating disorder'
'Keep eating'
'Try vomiting'
'Study more'
'Make everyone proud'
'Stress'
'anxiety'

I actually can't stop crying -

[cherryandtheberries]

Me listening to this song 24/7 while being that student who only studies a day before a test:

[cutie_szn]

finding out that 1.1 million people can relate to you is so comforting tho

edit: How did this get so many likes? I forgot i wrote this until now lol

[ccerealsoupp]

I relate to this song 100%. Ive always been a high achiever, ive always been the top of my class and gotten straight A's. But in middle school my dad said if i dont keep my grades up he'll move me to another school, and i didnt wanna move. So i pushed all my friends away and studied every time i could. Given, i had very smart parents so even if i didnt study, i would still be very smart. But i wanted to keep that gap between the average kids at my school and me. I spent my lunch break in the library, i did projects alone and i mostly talked to people in my theater or band class.

Lyrics <33

I was pulling out my hair
The day I got the deal, chemically calm
Was I meant to feel happy that my life
Was just about to change?
One life pretending to be the cat who got the cream
Oh, everybody said, "Marina is a dreamer"
People like to tell you what you're gonna be
It's not my problem if you don't see what I see
And I do not give a damn if you don't believe
My problem, it's my problem
That I never am happy
It's my problem, it's my problem
On how fast I will succeed
Are you satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?
High achiever, don't you see?
Baby, nothing comes for free
They say I'm a control freak
Driven by a greed to succeed
Nobody can stop me
'Cause it's my problem if I want to pack up and run away
It's my business if I feel the need to smoke and drink and sway
It's my problem, it's my problem if I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die
Are you satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?
Are you satisfied with an easy ride?
Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied?
Sad inside in this life, unsatisfied, prayin'
Sad inside in this life, unsatisfied, waitin'
Are you satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?
Are you satisfied with an easy ride?
Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied?
Black, white (are you satisfied, are you satisfied, are you satisfied?)
Black, white (are you satisfied, are you satisfied?)
Black, white (are you satisfied, are you satisfied, are you satisfied?)
Black, white (are you satisfied, are you satisfied?)

I feel like no matter what you're feeling, you can just relate to this song

UPDATE: I GOT INTO HIGH HONORS

I wasn't the best in school. I'm currently in grade 8 and I did horrible in the first two semesters. I obviously passed and got B's and C's (honor roll idk I got rounded in) but I remember the day where i saw my highschool courses/electives. I was mortified and started crying (they were ok now thinking about it but I felt so ashamed of myself) So I made a pact to myself that I will better myself in school so I can prove everyone wrong. It worked actually, for the third semester I put my effort in everything school related to do better than before. It turned out great. I got noticed by all of my teachers (I GOT ON A BOARD LOL) and passed the third semester with an 84 in english, 87 in ur mom (sorry but its a class, not actually named ur mom), 90 in history, 91 in science, and an 83 in math. But this semester (the final one) i think is probably my best, i studied hard and tried my best in everything. I now have...

- a 95 in english
- a 93 in ur mom! (joke but the grade isn't)
- 90 in history
- 90 in science
- 91 in math (was originally a 96)

hopefully i can get into high honors, i'll update! just comment underneath to remind me :)

*Are you satisfied...?*

My favorite song ever...because it resumes my life, literally!!!

[yyuyu]

As a introverted and rational person, who always wants more and that thinks that is never enough and that i can always improve, this is such a vibe

[Lightbloxaoo]

"Do i need to lie to make my way in life?"
is the thing i really wanted to do but i'm scared.

[mayisonline]

I relate to this song sm. Whenever I got a B - C in my grades, I would get upset. Especially since my parents pressured me to getting good grades. It's as if they only cared if I got a high grade. They never listened to what I had to say, only they would listen if they were *satisfied.*

I hope that everyone who also relates to this song are doing well now. Don't pressure yourself into getting good grades. Do what makes you happy.

[kaeya_jinhit]

I can relate so much to the song even when I'm not a "high achiver" i try to study so hard and only get average scores-
I hope one day....this will change

[xczzkup]

" high achievers don't you see? Baby nothing comes for free they say i'm a control freak driven by greed to suceed nobody can stop me " bro i like this sm

[mariacamilamejiaocampo]

actually i just started school three weeks ago and I already got a bad grade (85, ik is not a bad grade but for me it is), im trying to not think about cuz a have a test tomorrow, but is impossible i need to have my grades at least 90, I have to success in all of my classes (have to get an A+ in all of my classes), and it feels sick cuz if u don't do it u think u can't have a good future.

[kkcrayon.officialxx]

i can relate this so much. the lyrics "it's my problem" is literally me. i always wanted good grades and everything. my parents never pressured me. it's my problem if i have stress and addiction to success. my problem if i don't have friends. my life problems is just bc of me.

[driftywayy]

Why is this me.
"work harder!"
I'm trying my best.
"Don't overwork yourself!"
You just fucking told me to work harder and the next moment you're all "ohh i'm sowwy". Just because you have the power to do that doesn't mean you should.
(oh lord i feel so good venting on youtube)

[yil.zl]

Are you okay people? Don't overwork yourself, you can do this. I believe in you. 💗
