18 hours studying?? Trying KOREAN high school students 18 hour study routine 🔥 (help)

In this video, I attempt the intense study schedules and study routines that korean students practice before their entrance exam. This entrance exam is called Suneung, and it is one of the hardest in the world.

Therefore, it is no wonder why these Korean students have such vigorous study routines. Let me this study routine out in this student vlog and see if I burn out or thrive~

I’m always updating you guys on my journey to university in Australia on Instagram (insta: @ngfayee) so be sure to follow me there!

This routine is actually so dreadly hard I had tried it for a week I swear I have never been so hard on myself, it's so exhausting and the end of the day it's just like convincing yourself for the next day I remember that week it still gives me chills. Rest is as much as important when you are a student AND HATS OFF TO KOREAN STUDENTS AND YOU TOO FAYE 😭

[ceraunophilia_jae]

I am an Korean student, and yes its really exhausting after the study routine but we are used to it. Thank you for making this video!

“you’ll have many exams in your life but you only have one body, it’s not worth sacrificing your health for “ TRULY ! very well said Faye

[Albescara]

So far I’ve only seen one k-drama portraying the school routine south koreans go through. In the episode the main character went to a convenience store students from an academy nearby usually go to and the lady said
“You think the kids eat well since they come from rich families but they come in running at 10pm and eat junk food, instant food. Do you know what they look for when buying drinks? The amount of caffeine. The more the better. It’s hard to see, if that’s how they are now, how will they manage in high school?”
I knew it was just a series but it didn’t seem too far from reality. I really respect them.

[darkwolf]

The amount of effort Faye always put in every video is immeasurable. I love her honesty She is the best advice giver. You always motivate me to Study. Love you Faye 💜

The most I get influenced is mostly by Korean friends I have. They work damnnn hard. 10 hour is just a normal time I even saw someone study 15 hours as well. I just respect them so much for their schedule and hardwork and mostly the attention they have towards studying. Truly they are the best at this

[hannahan]

I'm a high school student in South Korea, more specifically Daechi dong, one of the most competitive areas, and the rigorous academic system stresses the hell out of students aged 7 to 17. I've witnessed students studying until 10pm since the age of eight, and this feels wrong.
Motivation is important and all, but please remember to have a life. Many friends I've met were so used to this tedious routine that they forgot they even had the right to live a life, have some good rest, and take time for self-care. Some got depression and physical/mental health problems.
It feels ironic, even hypocritical, to say this since I'm obsessing over my scores lmao but *college and grades may be important, but it doesn't define your life.* So please, for the love of god, make sure to give yourself time to sleep.

Well, gotta get back to studying. Have a wonderful day everyone!

LOOKING AT ALL THESE STUDENTS WHO ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING AS ME IS SO MOTIVATING TO ME! FIGHTING Y'ALL! 😭📝

As a neet aspirants (medical college entrance exam in India).My maximum study capacity is 14 hrs. But average 10-12 hrs. Korean students study vlogs is inspire me alot to study more. Once, I tried 18 hrs study too but that was my first and last😅.. It was too much exhausting.

[niharikarawat]

The longest i have ever studied is, like 10 hours i guess.
And this is an entirely different side of korea that i saw, and honestly, this routine is very exhausting, both physically and mentally. I admire the korean students now, for being so strong and following this routine everyday. I also appreciate you, for trying this. You always do your best, and definitely deserve a pat on back.
Can you make a video on how to not get distracted on YouTube, when you actually want to study (watch lecture) from youTube?
Lova ya faye ❤

[haaniyasyeda]

the longest i have studied is 5 hours. And i am proud of myself for it XD
And wow, faye, i am so inspired by you and you motivate me so much, thank u for that <3 ur a queen!

I always find the differences in study habits between people from different countries so interesting. In the USA this varies a lot depending if the school is private or public and how much funding the school has. Also in the USA extra curricular activities is emphasized just as much as regular classes, and we were taught the more we do the better our resume looks for college. Students are really pushed to join a team or club and volunteer. When I was in high school I woke up at 5 am, caught the bus at 6:45am. School was from 7:15am- 2:35pm. Then band practice was from 4pm-7pm. I would do my homework before band practice or review my notes. I took pretty much all AP classes, so the workload was a lot. I would study from 8pm-10pm. I would get ahead of class on the weekend unless I had a football game or band competition.

In college I sort of studied like this video. I would wake up 7 am. Classes were from 8am-4pm. I would study inbetween classes then study from 7pm-1am. Now I'm in grad school and I've become a night owl. 9:30am-6pm doing research in my lab 9pm-3am writing, studying and doing a literature searches. Plus I hold sessions for 1st year pharmacy students struggling in biochemistry twice a week.

[shivani]

18 hours is a lot. Hope you are ok after following that study routine and this seems like a fun video. Excited to watch it. Thankyou!

[etherealstrawberry]

i always see these korean students studying so much and they're just so admirable. i tried to stick to that routine, once, but i'm a firm believer in prioritizing my health over anything else so i never tried it again 😭 the longest i studied was for my o level history final. i started studying at around 8pm at night, and ended it at 4 am. the exam was in the afternoon so i managed to get a couple hours of sleep, woke up at 7 am.

the exam was at 1 pm so i used that remaining bit of time to revise more- except for the last one hour because i simply couldn't anymore :'D

[ewatokarz]

As a student myself I have a advice: don't worry about the edition of the book - as long as it is not super old the changes are probably minor (especially since they are still keeping it at the library). The newest edition required by syllabus is only there to make students pay more money

[CreatrixTiara]

I grew up in Malaysia which had similar education expections - go to school, go to after-school tuition, your entire life is studying. I point blank refused. I did go to school and sometimes school would have mandatory after school extra tuition, but unlike my peers I didn't go to external after school tuition classes. In my final year of secondary school, one of the big exam years, I actually ended up skipping half the class year because I had been diagnosed with depression & panic disorder & was having a hard time with panic attacks and such.

I did ok in the exams - not terrible, about 5As on the super crucial subjects, could have done better if I followed my peers. And that's while I took the exam in a medicated haze! But at age 37 now, I can tell you that none of that mattered. It didn't matter for university (both locally and abroad), didn't matter for grad school, didn't matter for career or hobbies or projects or whatever. I'm glad I didn't follow my peers into endless study sessions because while I did find school very stressful and bad for my sanity (for many reasons, not just academic pressure), I think I would have ended up in much the same place now if I went all out and I would have just resented all the time I spent on some exam nobody ever asks about again.

It's not worth it. Take care of yourself and live your life.

You always helped me throughout the school year You are a life saver 😙😙 love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰

[asmitarai]

The longest I studied was 10 hours a day because it was just one week to my exams and I didn't prepare anything but I would say it paid off as I got very good mark and again it was your videos who designed my schedule. Thanks a lot
And because I have been through it can you make a video about preparing for your exam on a small deadline school level. And i have 10 subjects so.... I would be really thankful if you made this video.

[studyyneuron]

The longest I had studied was like, , , 20h… yeah sounds crazy-
I admire a lot the effort you put in all your videos Faye<3 I am a Korean-Spanish student studying in Spain right now and comparing both countries the studying here in Spain it’s more relaxed, when I was at Korea everyday was that I was only focusing on how much hours I am studying rather than how much I could really handle, that situation leading to stress, burnout and etc. As I said earlier, than you so much for your effort in this video and all the videos you make! Also I wouldn’t recommend to anyone try that kind of extreme routine for every day, it’s so tiring and you guys need to rest properly! I hope you rested well after that day🥺🥺
You’re my inspiration to upload and share vlogs too, ily <3
