Jess, you are a teacher. You teach your viewers to be kind and to put God first. You also teach us some beauty things as well! Degree or not, you have taught many to love themselves truly. Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Hearing you story calmed my anxiety so much. Sometimes you have to go through confusion and struggles to understand what you're meant to do, who you're meant to be! I'm hoping that one day I can make a video like this of my own💓💓💓
happen same to me.. n I'm 25 years old done college but still I'm not comfort with my life.. after this I'm more calm :) n that's right we have to be what we want to be not what suppose.
Not saying that people shouldn't go to college/university, but I think it is amazing how God can use people in amazing ways even without a college degree... So encouraging and allows me to stress a little less about having the "perfect" life
Rachel Grace True...the greatest misconception these days is every one thinks you have to go to collage/Uni after high school. And that is not the case at all. The only people who absolutely need to go to collage/Uni are the people who've chosen to become a doctor/nurse, librarian, or a lawyer.
It’s nice to know that my story is very similar to yours. I too, dropped out of university after one year and then pretended I went back 🙄 lying to your parents is the most heartbreaking thing you can do to them. Always be honest, it helps the heart in situations like this. And there’s nothing wrong with not knowing what you want to do! Thank you for sharing you story. Love you, Jess 💕
Sooo , basically i gratuated a year ago from high school but i failed my national exams cuz of anxiety and to much social pressure. But last minute i found the major i rreally want to go with all my heart. Now i am giving a second try at the national so i can go to this major. But the truth is i love thw fact that you are a drop out because this is so out of my comfort zone. I dont know what should i do with a university in my future ... I respect your courage !!!!
yess, lying to my parents was one of the worst thing I ever did to them or myself (mostly myself really). It made me so much sadder than if I had just told them the bad truth (same story as jess basically)! I also wasted so much time away from them because I just couldn't be in the same place as them or be truly relaxed and happy around them knowing I was lying to them and how dissapointed they would be the more the time passed; I couldn't enjoy the present nor think about the future (or the past really). It was like a limbo >.< Such an unnecessary issue in life!!!!!! And I'm still lost on what I want to do or what I'm good at, but I read the other day (from a specialist on 'lost young adults' lol) to think about something you never stopped doing your entire life.. and I guess that's just doing manual things in my case. I love crafting, pottering, sewing etc... it never ever bores me, and I have so much patience.. so maybe I should think about something like this (maybe even idk, work in the film industry somehow since I love movies so so so so much and my favorite thing is watching the behind of scenes of 'visual effects' on movies like how they made the 'monsters', the dresses, the masks etc, etc - though I have no idea how to even start on). One thing is for sure, like that quote Allan Watts (that I just took from Gab's AMAZING 'how I became so successful' video): *'forget the money. Because if you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you will spend your life completely wasting your time. You will be doing things you don’t like doing in order to go on living, that is to go on doing things you don't like doing; wich is _STUPID_'* soooo long, sorry!
Jess please make more storytime videos like these! We love hearing about your past endeavours and how you came to be the beautiful soul you are today 💛
Honestly I relate to this so much even tho I'm still in high school and I just have no idea what I want to do in the future but I love graphic design and creating content on UA-cam. Thank you so much jess for this video, it was honestly so helpful ❤️
It’s crazy how you’ve “failed” before in life during your college years but you picked it back up and is so successful in life right now. Such an inspiration! Thank you for posting such an honest video.
Please do a testimony video!! I would love to hear ☺️ love your chill sit-down videos. also in my last year of high school & have absolutely no idea what i want to do next year!! 😕
Loved hearing your story. One thing I definitely took away from this is that one person's success or joy is gonna look different to the next person. There isn't a cookie-cutter mould of how we're supposed to do life after high school. So just follow what feels what right for you & what brings you joy :)
this video was much needed for me omg. i'm in my second semester of college right now and i HATE it so much. i really want to get into the music busniess somehow or anywhere in teh entertainment business raelly. SO THANK YOU for telling me that it can turn out okay if you drop out or if you don't like where you are hahah i needed to be told that
this is SO helpful!! it can feel so scary to be in high school and have no idea what to do with your life, its sooo nice to hear someone else who felt the same and it worked out- such an encouragement to trust in Gods plan:) love you jess, thank you for all your positivity!!
Thank you for uploading this, Jess! I’m currently a senior in high school and I got accepted into my dream university but I have no idea what I want to study. I loved hearing your story and how everything played out and brought you to where you are today. This reminded me that God truly has a perfect plan for each and every one us. 💛
Girl I understand! I got my associates at a junior college because I was still not sure and couldn't figure out what I wanted to do! Now I'm in my last semester for my bachelors in my dream degree. It may take time, but you'll find it eventually.
it’s so weird hearing you talk about dating another guy. i literally can’t imagine you with anyone else. you & gabe were literally made for each other (soz for the cheese 🙃) thanks for sharing your experience with uni 💛
thank you sm for this video Jess!! i’m a freshman in high school & although i have plenty of time to decide on what i want to do before graduating, when i go to my school councilor, i still feel this pressure about already having to know what i want to do, that way i can pick my classes accordingly & it truly is hard to be expected to have your whole life planned out at such a young age. but i do believe god has a plan for everyone & that things will fall into place when the time comes!! this video helped me so much, so thank you for sharing your story 💞 ps graphic design is my favorite class :)
Jess, you are a beautiful, amazing, strong, independent woman and you are just so inspiring to me. I aspire to grow up and have a heart like you, and I just wanted to let you know that you have helped me (a 12 year old girl) overcome a lot of things, and I just love you so so much. I know that you probably get a lot of comments like this but I want you to know that this comment is not written for the purpose of getting noticed by you, it is so that you can read it when you are feeling down, and it will help you realize that there are fans out there whos only goal is not to have you reply to them, but they just love you for who you are, and never want you to change for any haters. I am speaking for all of those people when I write this: We love you Jess, and don't ever forget that!!😘
Listening to your story really helps me. I'm having anxieties these few months just to because of thinking what should I do after I finished my secondary school. Plus my grades weren't that good. I thank God for giving me strengths to go through all these, and all I have to do is keep praying for it and have faith in Him.
I think this is my favorite video Jess has made! I sort of felt like I was just sitting there with her receiving all of this advice! It calmed my spirit! Much love xx
i'm so glad you made this video, it made my day and really just calmed me down a little bit since i've been so worried about college lately and what i want to do.
I love hearing your experiences. I waited 4 years to go back to school and I was always so nervous that my family would be disappointed in me for not going back right away. I am now in school to become an Educational Assistant and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I truly think that god had a plan for me and this is how it was supposed to be! Love you Jess xo
Jess you can still finish the graphic design degree, you are super young and can joggle it all. Especially because eventually with time you could feel as you neglected your ambition and personal growth. Both Gabe and you could create that much space for personal ambition and growth so that you don´t resent yourselves one day.
You definitely can’t say we can juggle it all if you don’t know our work loads & schedules 😅 we do so much behind the scenes, we literally have several full time jobs that we have to do all at once. We currently have 0 time to go back and complete a degree. We have accomplished so much without a degree, never do we feel like we neglected our ambition or personal growth. We actually continue to grow personally & our ambition only grows stronger because of the career we’re in. Thank you for the advice, but I have to disagree!
I apologize if my advice seemed pushy and disrespectful, written word has some limitations. I never assumed you guys are not busy enough or anything like that. My comment actually comes from the place of me being also someone´s wife and feeling my best when I manage to find a balance between mutual and personal ambitions, which is always a challenge. I could not agree more with you - degree is not the only way and it obvious you guys are successful admirable young people with or without degrees. However, I do come from the part of the world where having a degree was only possibility of reaching a certain standard. Plus, we live in the world of uncertainty and it´s always good to have couple of options. All in all, I think you are very rare, smart and beautiful young girl, which is why I reached out in the first place, I was moved by honesty and felt some protective vibes I would have towards younger sister. Wish you and Gabe all the best!!
Tanja J.G. I didn't find your comment to be rude or anything, I actually found it in a way that you were only trying to give a word of advice because UA-cam can one day shut down just as how Vine did. Maybe Jess took it in a bad way because in her reply she "twisted" something that you said. But all in all, you were only trying to give advice so that in the future they don't look back and say "Aw man, I should have followed my dream"...
You're right, UA-cam probably won't last forever, so I think it's nice for her to focus on it right now, and make the most out of it while it lasts (because she is very successful right now). I feel like, a degree, you can get at any age. Universities will always exist. UA-cam however, won't. So maybe if it shuts down, she can then focus on other unfinished business, like a degree, if she wants to work in graphic design.
Also i personally see that jess has been experimenting with different typography and other stylistic elements in her UA-cam videos soo that’s another way to get into graphic design even though it’s less than education based/traditional/formal
Jess, I am so grateful you put this video out. I chose to drop out of university this week, 2 years in, and I have been so stressed about it..I have been praying and praying and I feel like this is where God is leading me, but other people's voices have been bringing me down. This video was truly an answer to my prayers asking for help and assurance that God's plan is greater than what people are saying. Thank you so much, your heart is so lovely.
you're such a sweet soul. a rare gem! i lost my little brother to cancer last year, and have been dealing with grief so strongly ever since. I only found your youtube channel towards the end of last year and you've honestly helped so much! I wouldn't usually comment something like this on someones channel, but i think it's so important to praise those that have helped us through darkness. whenever i have been sad, i'd watch your videos and you'd instantly calm me. your energy is so gentle and pure. so happy that you've been blessed with such a loving and genuine life. so thank you, jess, for being such a shining light in so many lives across the world! love from byron bay xxxxxx PS: You also got me into worship/praise music and my husband and i now both LOVE it!
The power of prayer can do so much! Thank you for opening up to us. I graduated from high school last year and still don’t know what I want to do. I felt so stressed and pressured to figure it out but after seeing this I feel like I can breathe because like you said God always has a plan for us. You’re so inspiring. My role model.♡
Wow this has made me feel so much better! Honestly the past two years I have been so confused on what I’m supposed to do and how to go about college. So the fact that you struggled with this too made me feel not so alone! Thanks for the great advice Jess! ☺️💛
Thank you for showing me that no one is perfect, not even my idol. Ur SO relatable it’s great to see that what might seem the end of the world can turn out okay. ilysm and I luv your beautiful family with gabe and milo💘
My college experience was like yours; boring no friends no college parties not moving out. I didn’t drop out but I finished. I’d suggest people to choose wisely with school. This day and age you can wait and truly experience life, work and passions before committing to a degree, it would be all worthwhile the time when you finally attend.
I was really having a hard time deciding what to do and where to go after high school but then Gabe posted a pic with a scripture in the caption (Jerimiah 29:11) and it really helped me to just trust God and let him lead the way. Thanks for the video! It's really nice knowing I'm not the only one that feels this way.
Jess we literally have so much in common!! I have always loved kids and I’ve been babysitting since I was in middle school, so I always said I’d be a teacher but I’m my heart I wasn’t positive about it. A few years ago I really got into UA-cam but people keep telling me that being a youtuber is unrealistic. I’m at my third year of community college getting a liberal arts degree which is really general and I’m so stuck. I’m scared and I have no idea what I am going to do. I am in love and in a long distance relationship and he is the one thing that I am sure about when it comes to the future❤️ i just hope everything else falls into place for me soon, like it did for you. Love you so much💛
Mary Rose I am so sorry you are going through this! But I want you to know that you're not alone!! ❤️ Everything will fall into place! 😊❤️ Being a UA-camr is not unrealistic at all! I also want to be a UA-camr! I love makeup! I'm in university studying psychology with a concentration in child and adolescent development, and I love it!!! But what I really want, is to become a UA-camr! 😄 ♥️ I believe in you and that you can do this! You can reach your goals and dreams and become a UA-camr! 🤗 Keep your head up! Please don't give up on your dreams! They will soon become a reality! ❤️
Mary Rose I forgot to add this: please don't listen to the people who tell you that it's unrealistic to become a UA-camr!! Don't listen to the negative things that are said, focus on the positive and surround yourself with people that love you, support you and understand the path you want to take in life. ❤️ May God bless you always and guide you. And may He help you reach all your goals (including UA-cam) and all your dreams! 🙏🏽 ❤️
Mary Rose go after your dreams girl and keep doing what you love and everything will fall into place in ways you don’t expect 😊 I’m the same with doing UA-cam. I don’t have many subscribers at all but I love doing it and that’s the main thing! Doing it and trusting that everything will work out 💗
I love kids and babysitting too! I started going to school to be a teacher but then didnt feel it was right for me. I switched my major to anthropology which I love! However I dont know where I want to do with it quite yet haha but now Ive had to take a break bc of health reasons and its been over a year now and I feel so behind of all my other class mates from high school and am just feeling really discouraged.
Wow! This is so beautiful and heartwarming - I am studying education (I'm from South Africa) and I'm in my third year this year but for the first two years of my university experience I hated what I studied and just like you, I really love children but this degree isn't my passion. Unfortunately I cannot drop out of university ( for reasons I cannot disclose on the world wide web!) but it's kind of a relief to know that there are people who feel the same way that I did when I first came to university! It's such a scary, daunting feeling especially if you're not doing what you love but I'm grateful for the experience and I know God has a lot more in store for me and for you! Thanks so much Jess for being an inspiration - I don't think you realize it but you're so beautiful and your heart for God inspires so many people! Keep doing what you're doing!
You are so extremely positive and I admire that about you. I’ve encountered moments where I want to drop out because I feel like I should be doing something else with my life. The pressure gets to me and I just get depressed to think if I am doing the right thing. I’m so glad I watched this video. You are a great role model to not only me but everyone else watching this either in high school or college. So thank you for making this video 💕
Jess! This is exactly what I needed. I’ve been out of school for a year now and still don’t know what I want to do but thank you for reminding me that God does have a plan and he hasn’t forgot about me ❤️
This video is really informative and helpful, thank you! I'm currently in my 4th year at uni and absolutely loving it, my advice to anyone about to start would be to seriously consider moving into student accommodation rather than living at home. You can't fully appreciate the whole student experience while still living with parents.
It's beautiful to see how open and honest you are. I think everything happens for a reason too. I can relate what you said in the video. In high school I didn't have plans. I tried different jobs for 3 years but then I decided to go to university which was the best decision for me. Sometimes you need time as a young adult to make decisions. To all the current high school student who feel lost sometimes about their future: prayer, time and trying out stuff you might like will help you find what's best for you
It will get better! Attend events and say hello to the people next to you in class!! My university experience started not so great and then said now amazing!!!
aww sweetie don't feel sad! it's only been two weeks, so don't worry. Just try to approach more people and be open for new and unexpected friendships. God bless you and your experience in uni 😘
This was such an encouraging video! I love how personal and real you are, and you’re so willing to talk about your faults, and you don’t hide that ❤️❤️
aaaaa i love this ♡ thanks for making this video, jess. i relate and i'm still in the phase where i'm struggling but yeah, i'm still praying about it. i'm glad your parents were very supportive of your decisions. that's so nice
yes! if theres a time in my life when there is enough time for me to go back. right now, work is super busy and takes up so much of our time so I'm not thinking about it atm :)
After hearing your story, I can't even begin to explain how happy it made me. Just knowing that things worked out for you gives me so much hope to just trust in God and know that everything will work out as planned. I really needed to hear this today and I am so thankful for you and this video. Much love!!
I literally feel the same way and this video was so helpful. I am in my second year and I literally feel so miserable sometimes! I don’t want to stop school but I feel so much pressure to follow what I originally chose but deep in my heart, I know God has something else for me! My anxiety is sooo high ( I literally have 4 finals this week but just can’t bring myself to study😖 ) this video reminds me I am not alone and others go through the same thing. Love you Jess, ur an angel sent from heaven💛
Damaris Abigail Garza I am on my third year and I don't feel confortable or happy with where I am right now. I really want to do something different but I am too scare to drop out and regret it. Also I am in a two years relationshio and my boyfriend is not being supportive he thinks a degree is the only way to succes and I don't know what to do I am very confused and don't want to disappoint anybody. Pd. Forgive my english pls
This is so refreshing to watch! I went to uni then ended up dropping out - it wasn’t what I wanted to do but I though it was the right thing since it’s so pressed by schools. I loved hearing your story Jess, you’re a true inspiration xx
Jess your an amazing girl a rlly positive inspiration and influence as-well as being a good role model. I love u and ur vlogs ur one of the most dedicated people I look up to I love u with all my heart your my inspiration and role model so thank u
you’re such a calming person omg i don’t know how to explain it but i was suuuuper stressed today, i had 2 panic attacks about school and cried a lot but now i’m calm thanks to your video, i love you so much i wish we could be friends :( i love seeing you grow as an individual and as a couple with gabe ! i love you both so much since the beginning 💛
I don't know what I want to do and it's driving me insane. I know I have the potential to do great things, if only I knew in what direction to go. I'll have a gap year after summer as well. I've wanted to do this for years and I've thought about it well. I hope to find the answers then. I know that if I rush into a studies, I'll end up dropping out as well. I hope I'll find what I want to do soon!
I love your sit down chat videos, it feels like it's just me and you talking like besties:) DEFINITELY do a video of what happened with the train! I would love to hear it❤
Excellent advice. I changed my major 3 times going through college and I still didn't know what I was supposed to do when I got out. Ask God to help you know what to do. Talk to your parents, don't just pick a college because it sounds good...looking back now I wish that I had chosen a college that had had an excellent curriculum and emphasized Godly morals. There is nothing wrong with not going to college, it may not be for you. Take your time, pray, research, and ask for help. Start early and listen to your heart...especially if you are a Christian. My life worked out and yours will too.
Love this! I too dropped out of College. After I met and married my husband. Ultimately all that matters is that you are obedient with what God has called you to. I have zero regrets and am absolutely thriving. I Love your heart for the Lord. Keep pressing into Him. :) Thank you for sharing. I think your advice is perfect.
I just failed 2 exams I worked really hard on and now ok so sadd and Im too scared to tell my parents and so friends did really good and im the only one who didn't idk whyyyy😭😭😭😭😭
The title of the video just made my heart drop I was just crying of my college situation ! I believe this is a message from god that I'm not alone in my situation which I am taking a break for a year now and I have no idea what to do cause I don't have a lot of good majoring in my college and my anxiety keeps raising each time somebody asks about my grades and my schedules !! Bless you ! I was literally just crying my heart out I had no idea someone on youtube would pop up in my recommendation page and talk about what I'm going through .. thank you so so so much for filming this video
Hi Jess! This was literally the exact advice I needed to hear. I just dropped out of my masters of early childhood teaching at QUT and I felt lost. I was stressing about that decision for a week and I felt relieved dropping out because I didn't like it. But I also felt nervous about telling others and being labelled a quitter. Your message today helped me realise that it's okay and that there are other things to pursue in life that make me happy. Thank you so much for this video ! It was perfect timing
I can relate so much. I dropped out of college because I didn't know if that was what I wanted to do. I come from family who is involved in business, so at a pretty young age I was expected to follow that same path... also at a very young age my parents saw that I had skill with graphic designing and they put me through classes at the age of 12. As I graduated high school, I enrolled to college for business administration and graphic designing. Which a year and half in, I ended up dropping out because it became to difficult for me to study and work. I didn't get any help from my parents.. so I had many payment to make... which became stressing and overwhelming. When I decided to drop out, I never told anyone but my husband. Kept it from my parents and lied to them as well about my grades and how I was making payments just fine. 😔 til this day they don't know. But I can say I'm happy with the choice I made 1. Because I was able to think what I wanted and 2. Because at 21 I'm a business owner and I can say the path I was taking was right from the beginning but at that time i wasn't sure. I'm glad, I'm not the only who has gone through this. All my friends and family members are all either soon to be finish with college or half way.
This is literally something i've been wrestling with BIG time even just the last couple of weeks and I finally just broke down about it. Everyone I know has a college in the plans and I haven't made up my mind because I'm simply not sure!! I feel like this video absolutely reassured me because literally everything you just said was what I needed to hear. I've actually been talking to some friends I know who are taking GAP years and it seems like an amazing opportunity and something i've been praying about big time. Just wanted to say I think God has placed this video in my path for a reason and I wanna thank you for saying i'm not alone haha because I sure felt like it!
you have no idea how relatable this is. OHHHHH gossshh like i thought i was the only person who would do this!!!!! i literally started tearing up because im going through the same thing and when through the same thing in high school. i feel the same way about feeling like my parents and how they won't understand. it sucks because you want to make them proud and happy, but not if it doesnt make you feel that wayyy. i know there is a plan for every single one of us out there that is going to make not only going to make us happy but also our loved ones. but it might a long time before it happens. thank you for telling us your situation. i can tell myself that im not the only one 💖 💖 💖
You have really helped me so so much. I can’t thank you enough for this video. I feel as if i can relate to you on so many levels the way you described not knowing what to do but having an interest in photography is me. But it’s a hobby to me and that’s all. The way you described in previous videos how you always wanted to go to America and always wanted to have an American husband (hahah) is literally me and has been me since I was young. It’s insane how much I relate to u, so this video truly truly helped me calm down when I was stressed about this topic. Also not to mention sidenote, I constantly get compared to looking like you ;)
Hearing you talk about yourself in high school and university made me realize how similar we are!! I’m also very quiet, sooooo NOT the rebellious type haha I’m seen as the innocent one. Side note I also have a lot of anxiety. Do you have any advice for going through high school as this type of person?
you are so amazing!! I love this story because I also believe that everything happens for a reason and everything fell right into place for you in the end!!
Thank you, Jess. This really helped me realize a lot. Everything happens for a reason, and sometimes, what everyone else does is not what we are meant to do. It's really hard when you're musical/artistic (such as myself) and have a LOT of interests and simply don't know which path to take. Your story reminded me so much of myslef. Very comforting. "The steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in His way." Psalm 37:27. In other words, not only is God sovereign, but He is involved with and delights in every detail of our lives. Everything happens for a reason. Thanks again, Jess! God bless you and Gabe
I love you so much Jess!! your so positive and sweet, your a big inspiration for me💛 you and Gabe really made me so much happier and more positive in life and i'm so thankful for that!!💛💛 PS: you look so cute I love your style!
I remember watching this at the lowest point in my life. I was two years into college and contemplating dropping out because I didn't see the point and was miserable. I had just gotten my heart broken and was dealing with a stalker on my college campus. My campus security used to follow me to my classes so that they could "watch me" and would also call me every day to "check up" on me. I ended up transferring to a different college at the end of the semester so that I could have a fresh start. It was exactly what I needed and I was able to push through what felt like a stage of life that would never get better. I know this doesn't really relate to this video but this was in my recommended and when I saw it, it really made me look back on how far I've come and how you really can push through anything you set your mind to. So if anyone out there is watching this video like I was and contemplating dropping out, I recommend pushing through. Of course if you drop out it isn't the end of the world and you can always go back but I promise it will go by faster than you think and you'll be thankful you pushed through!! ❤️
Your story is very similar to mine. Your mistakes served a purpose, you didn't knew at the time but now you finally start to see it. God has a plan for all of us, we just need to trust in him. 🙏❤️💯
Thank u so much for sharing your story. My sister and I travel an hour each day to and from college. We love being home and it all just seems to workout better that way. I haven’t met many other people who traveled for like an hour so it is so cool to see that u did too !☺️
i can relate so much! sometimes it’s hard to understand why things happen but God has better plans than we can ever imagine for our selves ❤️ ps please film a video about what happened on the train!
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm in a very similar position as you and I was thinking about lying to my parents as well. I now realize no matter how disappointed would be, I will probably never be able to live with myself knowing I purposely broke their trust. I hope I find what I'm passionate about just like you did with UA-cam!
Jess, you are a teacher. You teach your viewers to be kind and to put God first. You also teach us some beauty things as well! Degree or not, you have taught many to love themselves truly. Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Also, I hope you see this! My birthday is tomorrow and it would honestly make my day!
This is so beautiful!! And I’m not Jess but still wishing you a super amazing birthday ❤️
Luisa Romero thank you soooo much!!
Jess Moody have a great birthday :) god bless you with everything you want :)
This is so sweet 😭💛
Love your vulnerability and honesty. So appreciative of that!
Earls Family Vlogs Omg!!!! I love you guys Little Leo is soooo cute!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Earls Fam here!!!😩♥️omg I loooooove your videos too!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Earls Family Vlogs OMG!!!! I love you guys so much
Earls Family Vlogs Oh I love y'all
Hearing you story calmed my anxiety so much. Sometimes you have to go through confusion and struggles to understand what you're meant to do, who you're meant to be! I'm hoping that one day I can make a video like this of my own💓💓💓
You’re on Jess’s insta story😊
Brooke M Richards I see you on every comment section
❤
Brooke M Richards me too 👍🏻✨
happen same to me.. n I'm 25 years old done college but still I'm not comfort with my life.. after this I'm more calm :) n that's right we have to be what we want to be not what suppose.
Pls make a story about what happened to you on the train bc I take the same gc to Brisbane train and now I’m scared omg 😶
don't be scared! I think I should still explain tho :) just gotta be careful always x
Alex Miotto I want to hear about that too!!
please do explain!
So many gross and kinda intimidating people travel down to the Gold Coast using the train :(
Jess Conte I love your coffee cup
Not saying that people shouldn't go to college/university, but I think it is amazing how God can use people in amazing ways even without a college degree... So encouraging and allows me to stress a little less about having the "perfect" life
Rachel Grace True...the greatest misconception these days is every one thinks you have to go to collage/Uni after high school. And that is not the case at all. The only people who absolutely need to go to collage/Uni are the people who've chosen to become a doctor/nurse, librarian, or a lawyer.
Yes, for sure! :) I know many people enjoy college/uni but it's not for everyone.
True my mom did not go to college, I love that she supports us for doing whatever we feel is right, whether that’s college or not.
It’s nice to know that my story is very similar to yours. I too, dropped out of university after one year and then pretended I went back 🙄 lying to your parents is the most heartbreaking thing you can do to them. Always be honest, it helps the heart in situations like this. And there’s nothing wrong with not knowing what you want to do! Thank you for sharing you story. Love you, Jess 💕
Sooo , basically i gratuated a year ago from high school but i failed my national exams cuz of anxiety and to much social pressure. But last minute i found the major i rreally want to go with all my heart. Now i am giving a second try at the national so i can go to this major. But the truth is i love thw fact that you are a drop out because this is so out of my comfort zone. I dont know what should i do with a university in my future ... I respect your courage !!!!
yess, lying to my parents was one of the worst thing I ever did to them or myself (mostly myself really). It made me so much sadder than if I had just told them the bad truth (same story as jess basically)! I also wasted so much time away from them because I just couldn't be in the same place as them or be truly relaxed and happy around them knowing I was lying to them and how dissapointed they would be the more the time passed; I couldn't enjoy the present nor think about the future (or the past really). It was like a limbo >.< Such an unnecessary issue in life!!!!!!
And I'm still lost on what I want to do or what I'm good at, but I read the other day (from a specialist on 'lost young adults' lol) to think about something you never stopped doing your entire life.. and I guess that's just doing manual things in my case. I love crafting, pottering, sewing etc... it never ever bores me, and I have so much patience.. so maybe I should think about something like this (maybe even idk, work in the film industry somehow since I love movies so so so so much and my favorite thing is watching the behind of scenes of 'visual effects' on movies like how they made the 'monsters', the dresses, the masks etc, etc - though I have no idea how to even start on).
One thing is for sure, like that quote Allan Watts (that I just took from Gab's AMAZING 'how I became so successful' video): *'forget the money. Because if you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you will spend your life completely wasting your time. You will be doing things you don’t like doing in order to go on living, that is to go on doing things you don't like doing; wich is _STUPID_'*
soooo long, sorry!
please make a video sharing your testimony!!
I would love to see that video too!
And we couldn’t be more prouder of the woman you have become. Love you bubby xx 😘💛💛💛
Janine Bauer love ya mumma 💕
Aww I love u guys 😫😫😪😝😜
the way God works is so amazing.
Ashley Webb isn't He? It's so amazing how He really directs our life.
Jess please make more storytime videos like these! We love hearing about your past endeavours and how you came to be the beautiful soul you are today 💛
Honestly I relate to this so much even tho I'm still in high school and I just have no idea what I want to do in the future but I love graphic design and creating content on UA-cam. Thank you so much jess for this video, it was honestly so helpful ❤️
It’s crazy how you’ve “failed” before in life during your college years but you picked it back up and is so successful in life right now. Such an inspiration! Thank you for posting such an honest video.
Please do a testimony video!! I would love to hear ☺️ love your chill sit-down videos. also in my last year of high school & have absolutely no idea what i want to do next year!! 😕
Loved hearing your story. One thing I definitely took away from this is that one person's success or joy is gonna look different to the next person. There isn't a cookie-cutter mould of how we're supposed to do life after high school. So just follow what feels what right for you & what brings you joy :)
You should make a video about what you mentioned happening to you on the train :)
Ruth Perez TRUEE
I know!
this video was much needed for me omg. i'm in my second semester of college right now and i HATE it so much. i really want to get into the music busniess somehow or anywhere in teh entertainment business raelly. SO THANK YOU for telling me that it can turn out okay if you drop out or if you don't like where you are hahah i needed to be told that
I would love to see a video of you sharing your testimony 💛
Simona M we would all love to see Jess do this video
Jess post a video of you sharing your testimony! I would love that 💗💗💗
you should write a book about your faith!!! you should also start a blog with daily or weekly devotionals & advice for teen girls :) ❤️❤️
this is SO helpful!! it can feel so scary to be in high school and have no idea what to do with your life, its sooo nice to hear someone else who felt the same and it worked out- such an encouragement to trust in Gods plan:) love you jess, thank you for all your positivity!!
"Jess Conte told me to take a gap year." 😂😂😂
Shree Naik 😂😂😂😂
Thank you for uploading this, Jess! I’m currently a senior in high school and I got accepted into my dream university but I have no idea what I want to study. I loved hearing your story and how everything played out and brought you to where you are today. This reminded me that God truly has a perfect plan for each and every one us. 💛
Girl I understand! I got my associates at a junior college because I was still not sure and couldn't figure out what I wanted to do! Now I'm in my last semester for my bachelors in my dream degree. It may take time, but you'll find it eventually.
it’s so weird hearing you talk about dating another guy. i literally can’t imagine you with anyone else. you & gabe were literally made for each other (soz for the cheese 🙃)
thanks for sharing your experience with uni 💛
dts d Agreed hehe ☺️💛
You're the cutest Jess! love your look today!
she always looks beautiful
Your on Jess’s insta story😊
I am! haha I feel special thanks for telling me :)
thank you lovely!
thank you sm for this video Jess!! i’m a freshman in high school & although i have plenty of time to decide on what i want to do before graduating, when i go to my school councilor, i still feel this pressure about already having to know what i want to do, that way i can pick my classes accordingly & it truly is hard to be expected to have your whole life planned out at such a young age. but i do believe god has a plan for everyone & that things will fall into place when the time comes!! this video helped me so much, so thank you for sharing your story 💞
ps graphic design is my favorite class :)
Jess, you are a beautiful, amazing, strong, independent woman and you are just so inspiring to me. I aspire to grow up and have a heart like you, and I just wanted to let you know that you have helped me (a 12 year old girl) overcome a lot of things, and I just love you so so much. I know that you probably get a lot of comments like this but I want you to know that this comment is not written for the purpose of getting noticed by you, it is so that you can read it when you are feeling down, and it will help you realize that there are fans out there whos only goal is not to have you reply to them, but they just love you for who you are, and never want you to change for any haters. I am speaking for all of those people when I write this: We love you Jess, and don't ever forget that!!😘
Can you make a video about boy advice and how you found boyfriends and advice if you're worried about not finding a boyfriend/husband?
you are so inspiring to me!! love every single one of your videos!
Listening to your story really helps me. I'm having anxieties these few months just to because of thinking what should I do after I finished my secondary school. Plus my grades weren't that good. I thank God for giving me strengths to go through all these, and all I have to do is keep praying for it and have faith in Him.
Hey jess, this is perfect for my current situation. Thanks for opening up and assuring me everything will be ok. God is good!
I think this is my favorite video Jess has made! I sort of felt like I was just sitting there with her receiving all of this advice! It calmed my spirit! Much love xx
i'm so glad you made this video, it made my day and really just calmed me down a little bit since i've been so worried about college lately and what i want to do.
Sage Keswani ur on her insta?!!!!!!
I love hearing your experiences. I waited 4 years to go back to school and I was always so nervous that my family would be disappointed in me for not going back right away. I am now in school to become an Educational Assistant and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I truly think that god had a plan for me and this is how it was supposed to be!
Love you Jess xo
Please make a video about boyfriends and what to look for in a significant other 💛💛💛
yes!!
Jess you can still finish the graphic design degree, you are super young and can joggle it all. Especially because eventually with time you could feel as you neglected your ambition and personal growth. Both Gabe and you could create that much space for personal ambition and growth so that you don´t resent yourselves one day.
You definitely can’t say we can juggle it all if you don’t know our work loads & schedules 😅 we do so much behind the scenes, we literally have several full time jobs that we have to do all at once. We currently have 0 time to go back and complete a degree. We have accomplished so much without a degree, never do we feel like we neglected our ambition or personal growth. We actually continue to grow personally & our ambition only grows stronger because of the career we’re in. Thank you for the advice, but I have to disagree!
I apologize if my advice seemed pushy and disrespectful, written word has some limitations. I never assumed you guys are not busy enough or anything like that. My comment actually comes from the place of me being also someone´s wife and feeling my best when I manage to find a balance between mutual and personal ambitions, which is always a challenge. I could not agree more with you - degree is not the only way and it obvious you guys are successful admirable young people with or without degrees. However, I do come from the part of the world where having a degree was only possibility of reaching a certain standard. Plus, we live in the world of uncertainty and it´s always good to have couple of options. All in all, I think you are very rare, smart and beautiful young girl, which is why I reached out in the first place, I was moved by honesty and felt some protective vibes I would have towards younger sister. Wish you and Gabe all the best!!
Tanja J.G. I didn't find your comment to be rude or anything, I actually found it in a way that you were only trying to give a word of advice because UA-cam can one day shut down just as how Vine did. Maybe Jess took it in a bad way because in her reply she "twisted" something that you said. But all in all, you were only trying to give advice so that in the future they don't look back and say "Aw man, I should have followed my dream"...
You're right, UA-cam probably won't last forever, so I think it's nice for her to focus on it right now, and make the most out of it while it lasts (because she is very successful right now).
I feel like, a degree, you can get at any age. Universities will always exist. UA-cam however, won't.
So maybe if it shuts down, she can then focus on other unfinished business, like a degree, if she wants to work in graphic design.
Also i personally see that jess has been experimenting with different typography and other stylistic elements in her UA-cam videos soo that’s another way to get into graphic design even though it’s less than education based/traditional/formal
jess, can you please do a video about your faith journey, how you fit worship into your life on a daily basis, etc?? love u!!
Jess, I am so grateful you put this video out. I chose to drop out of university this week, 2 years in, and I have been so stressed about it..I have been praying and praying and I feel like this is where God is leading me, but other people's voices have been bringing me down. This video was truly an answer to my prayers asking for help and assurance that God's plan is greater than what people are saying. Thank you so much, your heart is so lovely.
Amen! I love the Bible verse at the end💕💕
same I always end up noting them down and sticking them up on my wall ~
MM.P Thats such a cool idea ❤️
Bonnie Yarbrough Do you know what Bible version is that from?
Brigitte Nagy Yeah! Its the New International Version (NIV) 💕💕
Bonnie Yarbrough Thank you darling 💕💕😘
you're such a sweet soul. a rare gem!
i lost my little brother to cancer last year, and have been dealing with grief so strongly ever since. I only found your youtube channel towards the end of last year and you've honestly helped so much!
I wouldn't usually comment something like this on someones channel, but i think it's so important to praise those that have helped us through darkness.
whenever i have been sad, i'd watch your videos and you'd instantly calm me. your energy is so gentle and pure.
so happy that you've been blessed with such a loving and genuine life.
so thank you, jess, for being such a shining light in so many lives across the world!
love from byron bay xxxxxx
PS: You also got me into worship/praise music and my husband and i now both LOVE it!
We always love watching your videos!! They've really inspired us to start making our own!
The power of prayer can do so much! Thank you for opening up to us. I graduated from high school last year and still don’t know what I want to do. I felt so stressed and pressured to figure it out but after seeing this I feel like I can breathe because like you said God always has a plan for us. You’re so inspiring. My role model.♡
Milo walking in with the coffee toy in his mouth melted my heart ❤️ 😍
Ella Christine he’s so cute 😭
Love your story times! I would love more! It was great to hear a story like this because I’m so lost in what to do.
What happened on the train ?
Wow this has made me feel so much better! Honestly the past two years I have been so confused on what I’m supposed to do and how to go about college. So the fact that you struggled with this too made me feel not so alone! Thanks for the great advice Jess! ☺️💛
That spider man cup is littttt fam kerm on!!!
AwesomeMarshy Lover360* I gave it to her during Another Day, Another Tour.
AwesomeMarshy Lover360* isn't it adorable!
Could I know where you got it from? :( I think it's a perfect gift for someone I know and it would mean a lot! Thank you so much!! x
Alexia I went to my local mall and the shop was called BoxLunch. If you don't have that in your area, it's online. Just search Spider Man mug.
OMG I want the cup!!
Thank you for showing me that no one is perfect, not even my idol. Ur SO relatable it’s great to see that what might seem the end of the world can turn out okay. ilysm and I luv your beautiful family with gabe and milo💘
My college experience was like yours; boring no friends no college parties not moving out. I didn’t drop out but I finished. I’d suggest people to choose wisely with school. This day and age you can wait and truly experience life, work and passions before committing to a degree, it would be all worthwhile the time when you finally attend.
I was really having a hard time deciding what to do and where to go after high school but then Gabe posted a pic with a scripture in the caption (Jerimiah 29:11) and it really helped me to just trust God and let him lead the way. Thanks for the video! It's really nice knowing I'm not the only one that feels this way.
Jess we literally have so much in common!! I have always loved kids and I’ve been babysitting since I was in middle school, so I always said I’d be a teacher but I’m my heart I wasn’t positive about it. A few years ago I really got into UA-cam but people keep telling me that being a youtuber is unrealistic. I’m at my third year of community college getting a liberal arts degree which is really general and I’m so stuck. I’m scared and I have no idea what I am going to do. I am in love and in a long distance relationship and he is the one thing that I am sure about when it comes to the future❤️ i just hope everything else falls into place for me soon, like it did for you. Love you so much💛
Mary Rose I am so sorry you are going through this! But I want you to know that you're not alone!! ❤️ Everything will fall into place! 😊❤️ Being a UA-camr is not unrealistic at all! I also want to be a UA-camr! I love makeup! I'm in university studying psychology with a concentration in child and adolescent development, and I love it!!! But what I really want, is to become a UA-camr! 😄 ♥️ I believe in you and that you can do this! You can reach your goals and dreams and become a UA-camr! 🤗 Keep your head up! Please don't give up on your dreams! They will soon become a reality! ❤️
Mary Rose I forgot to add this: please don't listen to the people who tell you that it's unrealistic to become a UA-camr!! Don't listen to the negative things that are said, focus on the positive and surround yourself with people that love you, support you and understand the path you want to take in life. ❤️ May God bless you always and guide you. And may He help you reach all your goals (including UA-cam) and all your dreams! 🙏🏽 ❤️
Mary Rose go after your dreams girl and keep doing what you love and everything will fall into place in ways you don’t expect 😊 I’m the same with doing UA-cam. I don’t have many subscribers at all but I love doing it and that’s the main thing! Doing it and trusting that everything will work out 💗
I love kids and babysitting too! I started going to school to be a teacher but then didnt feel it was right for me. I switched my major to anthropology which I love! However I dont know where I want to do with it quite yet haha but now Ive had to take a break bc of health reasons and its been over a year now and I feel so behind of all my other class mates from high school and am just feeling really discouraged.
Vivian Hernandez thank you so much😍❤️
Wow! This is so beautiful and heartwarming - I am studying education (I'm from South Africa) and I'm in my third year this year but for the first two years of my university experience I hated what I studied and just like you, I really love children but this degree isn't my passion. Unfortunately I cannot drop out of university ( for reasons I cannot disclose on the world wide web!) but it's kind of a relief to know that there are people who feel the same way that I did when I first came to university! It's such a scary, daunting feeling especially if you're not doing what you love but I'm grateful for the experience and I know God has a lot more in store for me and for you! Thanks so much Jess for being an inspiration - I don't think you realize it but you're so beautiful and your heart for God inspires so many people! Keep doing what you're doing!
do you have any suggestions for trying to figure out what you want to do? I have absolutely no clue and I have less time than I think.
You are so extremely positive and I admire that about you. I’ve encountered moments where I want to drop out because I feel like I should be doing something else with my life. The pressure gets to me and I just get depressed to think if I am doing the right thing. I’m so glad I watched this video. You are a great role model to not only me but everyone else watching this either in high school or college. So thank you for making this video 💕
i adore your sit down & chit chat type of videos 💕
Jess! This is exactly what I needed. I’ve been out of school for a year now and still don’t know what I want to do but thank you for reminding me that God does have a plan and he hasn’t forgot about me ❤️
This video is really informative and helpful, thank you! I'm currently in my 4th year at uni and absolutely loving it, my advice to anyone about to start would be to seriously consider moving into student accommodation rather than living at home. You can't fully appreciate the whole student experience while still living with parents.
Annie Hodgson why is that?
Thanks for sharing Jess! So kind of you to help others when it wasn’t the funnest time for you to look back on!
Your story is amazing! Everything always manages to fall into place. God is great 💖
god is too good :)
It's beautiful to see how open and honest you are. I think everything happens for a reason too. I can relate what you said in the video. In high school I didn't have plans. I tried different jobs for 3 years but then I decided to go to university which was the best decision for me. Sometimes you need time as a young adult to make decisions.
To all the current high school student who feel lost sometimes about their future: prayer, time and trying out stuff you might like will help you find what's best for you
I started university two weeks ago and I'm feeling so sad 😞 I can't make Friends, I feel so alone.
Lucia R you are never alone x
It will get better! Attend events and say hello to the people next to you in class!! My university experience started not so great and then said now amazing!!!
aww sweetie don't feel sad! it's only been two weeks, so don't worry. Just try to approach more people and be open for new and unexpected friendships. God bless you and your experience in uni 😘
Lucia R ah no that’s terrible! I’ll pray for you. Loneliness is only temporary ❤️ Hope you feel better soon!
Niamh Gallagher Thank you 💕
This was such an encouraging video! I love how personal and real you are, and you’re so willing to talk about your faults, and you don’t hide that ❤️❤️
You are so unique and beautiful inside out
aaaaa i love this ♡ thanks for making this video, jess. i relate and i'm still in the phase where i'm struggling but yeah, i'm still praying about it. i'm glad your parents were very supportive of your decisions. that's so nice
Would you ever consider going back to university?
I wanted to ask the same thing 😊
yes! if theres a time in my life when there is enough time for me to go back. right now, work is super busy and takes up so much of our time so I'm not thinking about it atm :)
if i were her i wouldnt while in the usa.. those student bills arenuts
After hearing your story, I can't even begin to explain how happy it made me. Just knowing that things worked out for you gives me so much hope to just trust in God and know that everything will work out as planned. I really needed to hear this today and I am so thankful for you and this video. Much love!!
I literally feel the same way and this video was so helpful. I am in my second year and I literally feel so miserable sometimes! I don’t want to stop school but I feel so much pressure to follow what I originally chose but deep in my heart, I know God has something else for me! My anxiety is sooo high ( I literally have 4 finals this week but just can’t bring myself to study😖 ) this video reminds me I am not alone and others go through the same thing. Love you Jess, ur an angel sent from heaven💛
Damaris Abigail Garza I am on my third year and I don't feel confortable or happy with where I am right now. I really want to do something different but I am too scare to drop out and regret it. Also I am in a two years relationshio and my boyfriend is not being supportive he thinks a degree is the only way to succes and I don't know what to do I am very confused and don't want to disappoint anybody.
Pd. Forgive my english pls
This is so refreshing to watch! I went to uni then ended up dropping out - it wasn’t what I wanted to do but I though it was the right thing since it’s so pressed by schools. I loved hearing your story Jess, you’re a true inspiration xx
Jess your an amazing girl a rlly positive inspiration and influence as-well as being a good role model. I love u and ur vlogs ur one of the most dedicated people I look up to I love u with all my heart your my inspiration and role model so thank u
you’re such a calming person omg i don’t know how to explain it but i was suuuuper stressed today, i had 2 panic attacks about school and cried a lot but now i’m calm thanks to your video, i love you so much i wish we could be friends :( i love seeing you grow as an individual and as a couple with gabe ! i love you both so much since the beginning 💛
that means a lot thank you, hope you're okay ❤️
😍 i’m glad that God made it it all work out for you Jess!!! Answered Prayers
Thanks for sharing! I'm in college now for graphic design, but working full-time now as a graphic designer for a local market, and I love it!!
I don't know what I want to do and it's driving me insane. I know I have the potential to do great things, if only I knew in what direction to go. I'll have a gap year after summer as well. I've wanted to do this for years and I've thought about it well. I hope to find the answers then. I know that if I rush into a studies, I'll end up dropping out as well. I hope I'll find what I want to do soon!
I love your sit down chat videos, it feels like it's just me and you talking like besties:) DEFINITELY do a video of what happened with the train! I would love to hear it❤
Excellent advice. I changed my major 3 times going through college and I still didn't know what I was supposed to do when I got out. Ask God to help you know what to do. Talk to your parents, don't just pick a college because it sounds good...looking back now I wish that I had chosen a college that had had an excellent curriculum and emphasized Godly morals. There is nothing wrong with not going to college, it may not be for you. Take your time, pray, research, and ask for help. Start early and listen to your heart...especially if you are a Christian. My life worked out and yours will too.
Love this! I too dropped out of College. After I met and married my husband. Ultimately all that matters is that you are obedient with what God has called you to. I have zero regrets and am absolutely thriving. I Love your heart for the Lord. Keep pressing into Him. :) Thank you for sharing. I think your advice is perfect.
Can you tell about the train incident?
I'm very happy you made this video. I really love the advice you've taken from real life situations to give to us. Thanks Jess💛 xoxo
I just failed 2 exams I worked really hard on and now ok so sadd and Im too scared to tell my parents and so friends did really good and im the only one who didn't idk whyyyy😭😭😭😭😭
Keep your head up!! It happens but keep working hard! :)
I'm exactly in the same situation like you.. Do you mind telling me what you did about it eventually?
@@sarahcarla8426 omg this happened two years ago I dony remember anything haha! But dont worry , grades don't define your intelligence ❤
The title of the video just made my heart drop I was just crying of my college situation ! I believe this is a message from god that I'm not alone in my situation which I am taking a break for a year now and I have no idea what to do cause I don't have a lot of good majoring in my college and my anxiety keeps raising each time somebody asks about my grades and my schedules !! Bless you ! I was literally just crying my heart out I had no idea someone on youtube would pop up in my recommendation page and talk about what I'm going through .. thank you so so so much for filming this video
I immediately stopped crying when I read your title .. Thank you so much so much 💙!!!
can you please do a video on how your social medias grew before you met gabe?? how you gained 10000 followers on instagram and all???
Hi Jess! This was literally the exact advice I needed to hear. I just dropped out of my masters of early childhood teaching at QUT and I felt lost. I was stressing about that decision for a week and I felt relieved dropping out because I didn't like it. But I also felt nervous about telling others and being labelled a quitter. Your message today helped me realise that it's okay and that there are other things to pursue in life that make me happy. Thank you so much for this video ! It was perfect timing
I love these personal videos ♥️
I would love to see you do a video on haircare and how to keep it healthy and shiny, yours looks absolutely beautiful! Love u xx
I can relate so much. I dropped out of college because I didn't know if that was what I wanted to do. I come from family who is involved in business, so at a pretty young age I was expected to follow that same path... also at a very young age my parents saw that I had skill with graphic designing and they put me through classes at the age of 12. As I graduated high school, I enrolled to college for business administration and graphic designing. Which a year and half in, I ended up dropping out because it became to difficult for me to study and work. I didn't get any help from my parents.. so I had many payment to make... which became stressing and overwhelming. When I decided to drop out, I never told anyone but my husband. Kept it from my parents and lied to them as well about my grades and how I was making payments just fine. 😔 til this day they don't know. But I can say I'm happy with the choice I made 1. Because I was able to think what I wanted and 2. Because at 21 I'm a business owner and I can say the path I was taking was right from the beginning but at that time i wasn't sure.
I'm glad, I'm not the only who has gone through this. All my friends and family members are all either soon to be finish with college or half way.
This is so me. ☹️
This is literally something i've been wrestling with BIG time even just the last couple of weeks and I finally just broke down about it. Everyone I know has a college in the plans and I haven't made up my mind because I'm simply not sure!! I feel like this video absolutely reassured me because literally everything you just said was what I needed to hear. I've actually been talking to some friends I know who are taking GAP years and it seems like an amazing opportunity and something i've been praying about big time. Just wanted to say I think God has placed this video in my path for a reason and I wanna thank you for saying i'm not alone haha because I sure felt like it!
0:29 let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. When you read you begin with A B C when you sing you begin with do re mi...
sound of music :)
you have no idea how relatable this is. OHHHHH gossshh like i thought i was the only person who would do this!!!!! i literally started tearing up because im going through the same thing and when through the same thing in high school. i feel the same way about feeling like my parents and how they won't understand. it sucks because you want to make them proud and happy, but not if it doesnt make you feel that wayyy. i know there is a plan for every single one of us out there that is going to make not only going to make us happy but also our loved ones. but it might a long time before it happens. thank you for telling us your situation. i can tell myself that im not the only one 💖 💖 💖
"Sorry about Milo in the background." Me: PFFT. Milo is a charm. :) I mean. ALL of you are a charm. ;)
You have really helped me so so much. I can’t thank you enough for this video. I feel as if i can relate to you on so many levels the way you described not knowing what to do but having an interest in photography is me. But it’s a hobby to me and that’s all. The way you described in previous videos how you always wanted to go to America and always wanted to have an American husband (hahah) is literally me and has been me since I was young. It’s insane how much I relate to u, so this video truly truly helped me calm down when I was stressed about this topic. Also not to mention sidenote, I constantly get compared to looking like you ;)
Hearing you talk about yourself in high school and university made me realize how similar we are!! I’m also very quiet, sooooo NOT the rebellious type haha I’m seen as the innocent one. Side note I also have a lot of anxiety. Do you have any advice for going through high school as this type of person?
rachel kraft I agree. I would love to hear her story of dealing with anxiety!
Yeah , same
you are so amazing!! I love this story because I also believe that everything happens for a reason and everything fell right into place for you in the end!!
If you hadn’t dropped out of education, you might not have gone to America to meet Gabe...

Danica Clowers Thanks
Thank you, Jess. This really helped me realize a lot. Everything happens for a reason, and sometimes, what everyone else does is not what we are meant to do. It's really hard when you're musical/artistic (such as myself) and have a LOT of interests and simply don't know which path to take. Your story reminded me so much of myslef. Very comforting. "The steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in His way." Psalm 37:27. In other words, not only is God sovereign, but He is involved with and delights in every detail of our lives. Everything happens for a reason. Thanks again, Jess! God bless you and Gabe
I love you so much Jess!! your so positive and sweet, your a big inspiration for me💛 you and Gabe really made me so much happier and more positive in life and i'm so thankful for that!!💛💛 PS: you look so cute I love your style!
I remember watching this at the lowest point in my life. I was two years into college and contemplating dropping out because I didn't see the point and was miserable. I had just gotten my heart broken and was dealing with a stalker on my college campus. My campus security used to follow me to my classes so that they could "watch me" and would also call me every day to "check up" on me. I ended up transferring to a different college at the end of the semester so that I could have a fresh start. It was exactly what I needed and I was able to push through what felt like a stage of life that would never get better. I know this doesn't really relate to this video but this was in my recommended and when I saw it, it really made me look back on how far I've come and how you really can push through anything you set your mind to.
So if anyone out there is watching this video like I was and contemplating dropping out, I recommend pushing through. Of course if you drop out it isn't the end of the world and you can always go back but I promise it will go by faster than you think and you'll be thankful you pushed through!! ❤️
Your story is very similar to mine. Your mistakes served a purpose, you didn't knew at the time but now you finally start to see it. God has a plan for all of us, we just need to trust in him. 🙏❤️💯
Thank u so much for sharing your story. My sister and I travel an hour each day to and from college. We love being home and it all just seems to workout better that way. I haven’t met many other people who traveled for like an hour so it is so cool to see that u did too !☺️
i can relate so much! sometimes it’s hard to understand why things happen but God has better plans than we can ever imagine for our selves ❤️
ps please film a video about what happened on the train!
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm in a very similar position as you and I was thinking about lying to my parents as well. I now realize no matter how disappointed would be, I will probably never be able to live with myself knowing I purposely broke their trust. I hope I find what I'm passionate about just like you did with UA-cam!
