I was an overachiever at school and hated how Rory turned out...💀 but let me tell you, now that i'm older I understand why she did it. Burn out is real guys, please take care of your body and mind while you achieve your dreams because when you finally achieve what you wanted...it can feel empty😬

[boriszunyog]

I really love how not only academic achievements are represented. Success is so diverse. Great video!! ❤️

My parents never pressurized me but I did, and now I'm trapped in expectations i built for myself

[pandorabox]

This hits right in my "I don't work hard because I want praise, I work hard because I hate myself" motto in life, thanks for this edit 😂

[blueflamingo]

"Obsessed Artist" is by far, one of the best tropes.

[mermaidklc]

I like how this didn’t only include Rory from Gilmore girls but also Paris

[sbabydoll]

it's not just about over achieving in school. it's also about overachieving in social life, love, career, art etc
I think that for that reason anyone can relate to this song because we're all chasing after something and never feel satisfied

[karelanneferil]

My family don't expect much of me. I shouldn't be pressured they say. But I feel like they don't expect as much because I don't give impressive enough results. They want me to be a pretty young lady because my sister already claimed the smart daughter title. Fuck that.

[viceroymarx]

the fact you included miles teller from whiplash makes me really happy. i feel like i should go watch the queens gambit now

[sobsbecauseiwaoi]

Holy crap, I am genuinely so speechless. This is fantastic, the scene and character choice is simply perfect. I can't believe you don't have more likes, this should have a million views! 💛

[oldestdreamja]

my class is literally just filled with high achievers- the smart kids. including me.

I think our class is a mistake. the high expectations placed on us led to us being stressed about grades, performances, teacher's expectations. I think our class should've never existed.

guess that's the life of a special science class student and being asian. nothing but high expectations awaits you.

This is so good!!

My Favorite is Hermoine because, well, she totally fits this song. She works hard, and still, everyone criticizes her for being a muggle. She finally finds someone who loves her for her, but he leaves her for another girl! Finally, she gets the right one though, Ron's a lucky guy.

[hafsanidhi]

Well, this song never fails to motivate me and this was so fitting 😊

[ottobab]

i did NOT expect tick tick boom to be in here. very good movie choices & chatacter choices

[katherinehoward]

Idk why but I got a lot of Monica Geller energy from this song and honestly im stanning

[terrence]

Nina from "Black Swan" is the definition of this song

In 8th grade, I really really wanted to be Rory Gilmore and get her grades. There were many nights spent on my floor with notebooks and flashcards all around me, when I did not need to study that hard. I succeeded at my goal and got no less than 98% in all my classes, but the second I got a B on a test or dropped to around a 91% as my overall grade, I broke. I was very proud of myself for those grades, but I’m not repeating that. Now I’m in 9th grade, and do half of what I did last year and still receive all A’s. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Ok, I am not a native English speaker, it is my second language so you will see mistakes, anyway I will tell my tragic story with the help of this song that made me feel so much and remember too much. It turns out that in my country there is something called a bachelor's degree, which would be like a high school or an academic study that goes before university, it lasts 4 or 5 years. The thing is that from the first year I found out that there was a board with the places of the people who got the best grades and I don't know why, that year there was always 2 left. Over time, and it wasn't until third that I got the acclaimed first place. Let's say that at that moment I found out that the girl who was always first, in fact, was the younger sister of a school employee, to complete the favorite of my Spanish teacher, you can't imagine how horrible it was that in front of the whole class "This teacher" discredited my first place and humiliated me in front of everyone, practically making no effort, saying that the other girl was better, and that the place did not matter, if not the average, when I had the average tallest in the whole school. Later I changed schools, and I discovered that in this one they gave small golden stickers to the first places. In 4th I tried very hard to be first, because my brain had not accepted the previous time in my school when I was first (Because of what happened with the teacher, I felt bad, and lowered myself and took effort) That's why, when I'm in 1st place. (During the pandemic, and although they didn't give me stickers, nor did they write me down on a board, I swear I was happy) Until they gave me the ballot or final grade, . and he said that he had been second, not first! Because of the covid I was never able to claim anything, but imagine my surprise when I started classes this year and discovered that, the supposed first place "And the most studious" That, I sincerely feel, she used me as a friend to improve her grades (Subject for another story) She is the daughter of the owners of a bakery. I was surprised when a teacher told her that a sweet was very good and she enjoyed it with her wife, blah, blah, blah. I broke my head studying and by God, how I tried, even so, when I was first in my 2nd period, this girl came and said "Where did you stay?" I answered first. I congratulated her when she told me that she did too, and my heart broke when she replied "Yes, I think there was a mistake. What was your first? God, I never suffered so much in my life. I swear that before I made an effort, I read, I studied but sincerely and if someone asks me, I lost motivation, I still have excellent grades, but it is not the same as before, at first I felt bad, as they have no idea, but when I received a call from a relative As it turns out, I was playing dominoes with my math teacher, I found out that this girl literally brought "sweets or bread from her beloved bakery" to the teachers. Now I understand that the effort often does not work at all, because, There are always external factors that somehow open your eyes and make you see that grades are not everything in this life.

Sorry for My English...

[delhoumkamar]

i've been the golden kid my whole life, always the first in the whole grade not just class, my mom keeps all my diplomas and projects and grades and shit hidden and really protected, when we see people outside the first thing she says about me is that i'm in med school, and I really feel like I'm not that golden anymore, and I don't want to be, I want to be average and make mistakes and not have people expecting a whole lotta shit from me. My dad is always asking if my grades are high, if I'm ahead of my lectures, if I wanna be a neuro surgeon or a cardio surgeon, are my grades enough to get me to the biggest hospitals.. I actually wanna quit and start traveling around the world.

i don't get high expectations from my parents as i used to. they say they understand that what i study is difficult, and that i shouldn't put pressure on myself, that i shouldn't kill myself trying to be on top of the class like i used to. but it's been so long since i felt "free" from pressure that i'm so used to the intense anxious feeling of trying to be the best. though, i don't think i was ever the "best". so now to compensate for the expectations i don't believe i ever met, i work harder and harder and harder. it's so sickening how they tell me to chill out, how they tell me that i am doing good enough, when i, myself, don't even feel like i am good enough.
