Lyrics & Translation

[English]

so this time of year sucks what I get

from you guys at the women is messages

saying how stressed you are how

terrified you are for exams how much it

means to you and how much work you're

putting in and how you might feel guilty

if you're taking time to not do revision

24/7 yeah this is just a very very quick

little video from me the video that I

would have wanted to have seen before I

went into exams also you might clock to

like had a haircut and I've straightened

my hair so I'm still reading your best

is literally all you can do

something that I struggled with the

concept of earlier just do your best

is the idea of knowing that oh I can do

better you know what I mean like this is

not my best this is not my best work

this was not my best exam but what you

have to remember is that the concept of

do your best means do your best in that

present moment with how you're feeling

on that day with the questions you've

been set with the knowledge that you

have in that moment that is doing your

best as long as you're putting the

effort in in that moment you are wanting

to succeed that's all you can do even if

you come out of the exam and you cry

like I did during my eight levels at

least you can have this sense of pride

that you just tried you know like you

did your best and that is all anyone can

ask of you in that moment I believe that

if you do your best

that means kind of revising before an

exam really wholeheartedly putting your

work ethic into wanting to succeed

you're really trying during that exam

you're checking for if you have time I

believe the rest will follow

so whatever grade you end up with you

meant to get it and it's hard to think

like that but I really do believe that

say you get a slightly different grades

for what you want and that prevents you

from going to a certain university a

certain SEC film and you end up

somewhere else sometimes you've got to

embrace that that might be the best

option for you you will end up on your

path

I want to say well done before you even

start the exams do the exams just like a

bloody big well done to you because

you've worked hard like even if you feel

like you've not done enough and you've

not worked hard enough at times in the

two years that you've been preparing for

these exams you still worked hard and

the family are watching this means

you're probably a committed person so

well done I think it's so much easier to

beat ourselves up than to give ourselves

credit so allow me to send you some

virtual credit for any and all work that

you've done any revision resources

you've made any time that you have you

felt really stressed and you brought

yourself back to having some kind of

positive mindset some kind of hope again

well done like I commend you because

exams aren't just a test of the content

and the knowledge but I genuinely think

exam season is a test of character and

like mental health discipline coping

with knowing that you know this this

this sheet of paper and this time is

gonna have some kind of impact in your

life like that is a scary thing and to

do with it as such young age is

commendable he's still got social life

you still got mental health things you

still got family issues at cetera so the

fact that you are doing this well done

every night the day before an exam

something that really helped me is

something that I would urge you to do as

silly as it might sound is turn off the

lights or just sit down quietly lie down

close your eyes and I just want you to

visualize yourself going into the exam

room the next day trying to visualize it

with the stress of everything that could

go wrong but just put yourself into this

really calms own of visualizing it as

best as positively as it can go

imagine yourself turning the first page

calmly imagine yourself looking at the

questions and thinking to yourself I

have an abundance of time I am not

pushed for time I'm just gonna

my time read this question absorb it and

do whatever I can with the knowledge

that I have just think of it really

pragmatically imagine yourself hissing a

question you don't understand

imagine yourself reading through it

calmly again underlining words if you

still don't understand it move on and

come back and subconsciously believe

that you will be able to get it in the

end most of all visualize yourself

coming out of the exam feeling proud

like knowing that you have done your

best that you have tried hard just

really visualize the feeling of like

happiness after having done that paper

sounds Carla cringy and sounds kind of

silly but there's like this whole

concept of the law of attraction and the

idea that the thoughts that you are

having with regards to something will

manifest the the event itself so the

more positively you can view exams the

more positive experience I believe you

will have doing them so yeah I hope that

makes sense just right visualize

positively and hike yourself up you've

worked hard

you have and I'm proud I feel like a

study tube mom anytime you feel stressed

or you don't feel proud of yourself or

you feel guilty just think of your study

tube mum because I'm here I'm supporting

you I'm posting little updating things

on my Instagram all the time to just try

and like make me feel calm or make you

feel supported just like you can do this

you literally can do this and you've got

to get yourself in a smile set of like

yes I'm not going to let these exams

destroy my mental health I'm not gonna

let these exams have so much power over

how I feel buting time yourself keep

revising keep smash and keep working

hard you've got this you've literally

got this by
