    Nothing but respect Kelly 🙌 So many people frown upon gap years and think they need to go straight to college. But just chill. I'm 15 and I don't plan on going to college. I make vids rn but I wanna build houses when I'm older. Sounds odd but I just love it. And ya gotta do what ya love. Keep up the dope vids. Wakasup 🤙

    just graduated as well and decided not to go to college because I want to pursue acting since its what I am extremely passionate about. My parents think its just gap year but honestly if things go as planned I don't think ill ever go to college. Most people don't get it though and that is fine, I just wish are society wasn't so focused on making money and being "secure" because to me the people that take risks are the truly successful ones.

    This video was great getting to see more of Kelly and his decisions! I'm a senior this year so nervous of what to do after but this took away some of my worry and guilt by thinking of my own life.

    I took a gap year too and it really made me realize what I wanted to do with life. Also I hate being called the skater, animator, or artist. It seems like everybody has a category for me with the little they know about me. I would rather just be me and have them realizing these are just things I enjoy.

    Great to hear about this side of you! Over our time at BHS, I definitely noticed you becoming more comfortable with yourself. I know we never got to know each other too well, but I’m glad to see you know what you want to do. Go ahead and take those risks; if it doesn’t work, you’ve still got a backup plan. I’ll keep following you and your work.

    I’m going into my junior year and I’m super stressed about school and this is the time when I’m supposed to start thinking about college... it makes me so anxious because you’re literally the only person I know who isn’t going straight to college. I’m just not sure if it’s what I want to do... because I have absolutely no clue what to study. Sorry this was a long comment but basically I’m saying thank you for putting this out there because it makes me feel like it’s okay to not know what you want to do just yet.

    • @sheebs19
      @sheebs19 6 років тому +2

      My advice: take a personality test, see what things fit you! Don’t jump into anything because you feel pressured, you need to have at least some sort of interest in what you do, and a purpose behind why you want to do it. Also, don’t feel rushed. We often think we have to have everything figured out at once to move forward. Let me tell you this: I am a senior in my college degree right now, graduate in may, and I still, yes STILL have hopes of pursuing other things in the future, because I’m a multi-dimensional person, and who says you have to stay at one thing for the rest of your life? Nothing is finite, just remember that okay? There isn’t a time limit on dreams, or aspirations. Keep thriving for greatness, and greatness will come to you.

    I’m 22 and I went to college to get my BA in interior when I was 18 but dropped out the first year cause I didn’t feel like continuing and obviously my mum was livid cause she already paid for the second year, but she always supports whatever I do. And now I finally realized what I’m good at and what I want to do, so I decided to sell my home and buy a little cottage in Provence, hopefully I’ll go to college in the future when I get exhausted of all the cheese,wine,scenery and the sweet life in Bonnieux. College only gives you a degree that would be your passport to get a job in your preferred field 0f study, but there are many other ways you could get more educated than a college student if your open your mind and explore different fields yourself.

GREAT BANDS... but they would some how fall apart for stupid fkn reasons... So now that I'm 28 went back to college for Medical Billing and Coding... Now just waiting a month to take a test and become Certified... Always try for your passion first... because if u don't your soul will feel bad cause you never tried... like you said YOLO

    I’m going through the same thing Kelly was with soccer. I’m on the highest team in my club but I also don’t want to go to practices and games. When I think about having a big tournament this weekend I get mad and stressed out. And there are areas in my skill level that definitely need improvement but the thought of spending hours working in my backyard practicing those thing makes me even more mad and stressed. I don’t like the feeling missing a shot and losing a game, but I also don’t like the feeling of working my ass off to get better. And that makes me feel lazy. But I don’t want to be a lazy person that just gave up

    It's really one life and we must enjoy it. If u r interested to study something at college then go on!

    @austinsalmon853 6 років тому

    I’m going into my 5th semester of college this upcoming fall - I’ve only changed my major once but I am already 2 semesters behind due to the program I was following during my first year at a University (right after high school because I was granted the opportunity to play football at the collegiate level).
    I actually wrote a 15 paged research paper on the psychological benefits and societal consequences of taking a gap year, as well as why a gap year program should be implemented to my then-school.
    Tbh, this is my first video of yours I’ve watched standing alone from Braille, but I think this is a wise decision. My conclusion in the paper was that the benefits definitely outweigh the costs of taking a gap year - IF you structure it properly. You have a platform to network and know many people in the work you want to continue to do, so charge it!!!
    Best of luck, man!

    I feel like gap years are more common in Australia then it is in America. I don’t know if that makes sense. But most people I know will always have a gap year before going to uni (college) to save up money and sometimes travel. Where as it just seems like Americans dive head first into college and more education. Have fun on your gap year and just live your life!!

    I feel there is no need for college unless you already know what you want to pursue as a career! Although, I hope that year goes good for you
