I remember that time when I was walking back home and realised something, "You are in college to comprehend not just save informations ." it might seem so simple and logical, but it isn't until you actually understand it . I stopped and stayed for about 15 minutes thinking about it ( it was like the revelation of my life )
College is not like high school, you don't just study to pass to next year, you actually have to SEEK for knowledge . You don't just learn information to pass your finals. You actually learn the information and process it so you can work with it, when you understand that it becomes a bit, but in the end, it's way effective

As a student who keeps struggling to choose a department while my stress levels are killing my appetite to the point of excessive lost weight I am slowly trying to learn to be brave and actually listen to my own heart and instincts. Being this amount of indecisive led me to a loop hole of repeating anxiety and ignorance. I will take the university exam again this year while trying to transfer into the department of education. I am scared of the future but I will try to stay in motion and get over it while pursuing some professional help on this never ending problem. Please remember to take care of yourselves in these type of situations. Your health is far more important than any goal you may be pursuing. And please know what your true goal is, only then you can excitedly climb though your challenges. Because of people’s views I made the same mistake of choosing something unsuitable for me twice causing great distress to myself. So dear students or student to be enjoy what you pursue, have fun, make mistakes, make new goals and don’t be afraid to leave them if you are feeling it’s not for you. This is my goal for this year. Hope you guys will find yours too.

The part about following your plan and not your feelings has to be the best tip of all time.
Motivation comes and goes but discipline is what will get you where you want, it's better to work on your discipline and follow your plan than how you feel.
And to be fair by the time you get your tasks done because discipline pushed you to do them, you will indeed feel happy and content. So it's not like your even beating yourself up your just doing what's right for you logically.

I have to be honest, you have no idea how this video helped me... Just yesterday I was literally thinking about ending everything you know. I felt so little, as if I was nobody. I said to myself several times why should I keep going? That's not going to make any difference. I am muslim so I believe that really helped me not doing it actually but feeling like that..? I felt pain. Physical pain. From overthinking. I am having rough time literally every aspect of my life, but when you said "you get to" made me realize some stuff. I am really grateful that I actually listened you. I will be praying for everyone that needs it to night. Thank you.

Farah, this is comment is coming right from the core of my heart, please keep uploading, you're my godmother ♥️♥️♥️

[jiitkha]

I made it to graduate a college even thought I was depressed about my life and failing tons of tests.
After listening to your podcast, I do believe that something greater than humans allowed me to do that, Farah.

Though I'm not necessarily a religious person, there were some moments in my life that reminded me of it.

[yukr]

As a senior in college. This is a great reminder as to why I'm at this point and that I almost close to finish. Thank you 🙏

[rowella]

Farah wallahi i gasp everytime u take a hit at a minority or a group of people jokingly and think "god please dont let her be cancelled" but you keep doing this stuff without a care and I realise I've been consuming too much western media and 😭. bottom line: I love this. thank u for healing me a little with every podcast <3

[SafiyyahChinnur]

Today was seriously my first day of college, can't believe this video came out at the right time❤❤

[sillysnifty]

Istg watching her is giving me the motivation to do everything idk, she’s changed my view on so many things

[MaryumIftikhar]

I loved this episode!!

Brief notes:

1. Invision yourself being successful: This may even entail imagining yourself doing the exam, because the exam is ultimately associated with success. Envisioning this also ensure you avoid any fear or negative feelings during the exam, because not only does it calm you down, but it also takes you back to the study sessions in which you imagined yourself in the exam. Known the circumstances you will inevitably be in.

2. Forced vs opportunistic mindset: change your mindset from I have to, to I get to or I want to.

3. Goals: Dont construct goals, construct systems. e.g. between this prayer and that prayer I'm going to do x. Winners have systems, losers dont

4. Proactivity: go outside the syllabus, be proactive about your learning, actively put something in your day to contribute to your systems and goals.

I relate to the part of going above the college knowledge. I study German filology with additional English [by myself] and I plan to do French too and... I write translation to songs in my free time. I absolutely love thinking about all the rhymes, synonyms and phrasal verbs! I also love etymology and I read about it a lot in my free time. I know it's not for everyone, but definitely for me.

Sometimes I love internet because I get to listen to you❤

[mumu]

Dear Farah, I love how your videos apply to everything in life and not just to the specific topic of the video. I was seeking answers for a long time on how to improve my college experience. Thanks to Allah that he send you to me! Keep up the good work, you don‘t have any idea how much help you‘ve been on my journey with Islam! ❤

[unchikk]

I'm a college student and I always struggle with sociabilization and communication with people, it's super frustrating, I can't talk well with people, and I always feel invisible...
I think that's stopping me on being a good student and having motivation
