Director's Commentary:
It's weird becoming the bad guy in your own story. I think that's definitely what happened over the past few months - obviously being in college is an extreme privilege and all these issues are inherently not that big of a deal. I want to make that clear, even I find myself cringing at a lot of the thoughts in this video. However, it's how I felt at times and it's what I went through.
This vlog wasn't the hardest to edit, or most difficult to script, but is definitely the scariest to post. I'm not traveling anymore and even though that's what the last few videos indicate - I want this episode of the wholesome vlog to show the true colors of this series.
Every episode won't be van life or going on adventures, this series is simply my own attempts at documenting my life in it's most accurate way. The niche is Simon Kim and whatever dumb things I find interesting :)
Moving forward I've come to understand that having this fear before pressing publish is one of the most important things we have. It's a reminder that you are constantly growing and pushing yourself into new territories. Above everything, thank you so much for all your support it's been a hectic ride that has led to so many impactful moments.
But of course I'm still open to everything - if you have a crazy idea or adventure feel free to shoot me a dm. If you want to see the breakdown of this video + other bts sub to the patreon. If you go to the University of Michigan join camping club. See you next month :)

Thank you for this video they really bring a highlight to my day. They remind me how fun but real life is.
Dont you feel afraid of trying new things , like i do ! What should i do ?
dont be afraid to be lost u need to be lost to get found
Hey Simon
Loved your Life story videos & Thank you for sharing your experience with all of Us💐🙏🏻
Need your guidance if you could help (guide) me set-up my online business step by step as I'm totally new to this fast paced tech era & Have to learn this skill to make a living for me and my daughter & also have to support her education, So i would be truly grateful if you could just help me with my set up If possible!!!
The college experience is both overrated and underrated. It isn’t always gonna be the best years of your life but there is something magical about being able to meet and collaborate with a huge community of people at similar place in life
For someone, who has always been around like-minded people. The college I'd say are the worst years of my life. However, it teaches me how to embrace and actually how to enjoy being alone with the sense of loneliness:,))
@@AllonssyHighlights I enjoyed college a lot due to joining committee's in its study association with over 300 members, I found out I needed to grab life by the balls and make things happen by myself
College for me has been a solitary, isolated experience. Even with lots of people your age, it’s hard to make meaningful connections with anyone, and having some anxiety probably doesn’t help. I’m just biding my time here until I can graduate tbh
I know that some of you will say, that he's not right, and for some of you yea it will be probably the worst part of your life, but for most of us it's gonna be the best part of our life, probably you don't see that rn cause so many stuffs happen into your life, but this is the "magical" part, everything happen everyday if you decide to leave, when I'm saying that I mean that you have to feel like the most alive human, take random choice, even if it's too just go to a cafe, since I decided to hang out more, like going to the gym often, decided to get a job just have a better "social life" I can tell you so many stuff happen, yes it's not always perfect and yes my past still follow me, but it's so good to still feel young and still alive, you re living the best part of your life, the thing is you re gonna realise that after.
So please enjoy this day !
@Thawne1338 I had a lot of barriers to overcome in that aspect, it takes time. Do everything one step at a time
college makes me feel like i’m missing out of so many things outside, to me is hard to balance all the things that are part of my life, of me, in these years
Im in the exact opposite situation. I feel like im missing out on so much because I'm not in college. It feels like im wasting my youth when I'm not in school.
@@mathiasnkristensen i promise you arent. although this may not reach you in a strong way. In or out of school take your time
@@mathiasnkristensen I've been in college for 6 months now always trying to put myself out there and I'm more alone then before I went it's super overrated
@@mathiasnkristensen same
@@mathiasnkristensen 🇳🇴
Love how this video shows the importance of community
For real, community is so so so important. Focusing on that for my next semester :) got some cool ideas coming up!

Moving Into College to go and study more lies, as the whole school system is created by masons.
John 7:24
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Ephesians 5:11
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
To all who say that they believe all religions and therefore support all narritives of life:
Then you all allowing yourselve to be deceived and that willingly: Bible warns and reminds us: BE NOT DECEIVED!
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
1 Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
Ezekiel 14:9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
Question the narrative, seek out the real deal aka answers/information and then decide to believe or not to.
The Truth About Love - IT JUDGE, ALWAYS JUDGE and righteously thereof.
I advice to search BIBLE (KJV) + freemasonry.
John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Crazy how you balanced school, social life, and UA-cam
Called time management man
@@justvibing2497 yes and most people don't know how to do that this good
if you're reading this you're beautiful i hope you find peace you deserved
Thank you, you too!
Hey Simon! I am at my lowest point in life right now. I am lonely, left out and feel unloved by my friends and family. I was just going through UA-cam and came across your video "PROJECT WEST". Best video I had seen in a long time, made me feel good in a long time. You're voice is so soothing, and I leave all my troubles behind when I go through your videos. I came across an amazing UA-camr that relates closely to me. Simon, You're a blessing in my life. Never stop making videos, it really does create an impact on people.
Love,
Rachel Lobo
hi! im not simon (obv) but stopping by to say i hope you find peace in this world :) you are loved + your comment made me smile. so thanks.
you’re not alone in that boat
I discovered your content a few weeks ago and I am so glad I did, your videos are so cinematic and impactful. The messages can resonate with myself and many others - and that is something that is truly special. As an aspiring content creator you inspire me to be more creative and thought provoking with my videos. Stay passionate and authentic, KEEP IT GOING SIMON :)
This means the world :) glad you're here!!
That "aspiring" word is dangerous
If you put your 100% in your videos, you are A CONTEN CREATOR!
Maybe not a famous one, but definitely a content creator
@@kausthita11 interesting take, uplifting and motivating words to say the least. Thank you for that :) I needed to hear that fr
Yes! I feel similar! Watching videos that are cinematic AND full of meaning brings me so much joy & inspiration. It's such a relief to see UA-camrs continue to create this kind of stuff, especially with TikTok highlighting quick, uncreative work. Love it Simon. Anis, love your videos too!!
@@keiarna Precisely!!!! TikTok is promoting uncreative and quick content which is easy to digest. I hope UA-cam can inspire more creators to be more authentic and real aswell as creative! I will check your video out also :)
I love that Simon incorporated camping, a main motif in his gap year, to make new friends in college. College is the most connected, but also isolating, experience during anyone's educational journey. Happy Simon made socializing easier for people IRL and to anyone watching. 😊
i’ve been rlly stressed bc i have ~half a year till i go to college and i’ve realized that what i do with youtube will bring success, and ofc what everyone tells me is that i shouldn’t go to college and should just primarily focus on youtube, but i want that learning experience and social life with college.
i’ve been back and forth with everything. i’m worried that in between focusing on my studies, making new friends/hanging out, and balancing my youtube channel, i will only have time to do only 2 of those things. if that makes ANY sense 😂
but this video gives me hope to just go for it and see where life takes me. i know whether or not youtube or college works out for me, i’ll be happy no matter what.
thank you simon. as someone who discovered you only a few days ago, i already look up to you so much. thank you so much for doing what you do 🫶
Studying at college is a new experience of interacting with people. In any case, the main thing is to do what you really want. Thanks for the video, it was interesting
Your slowly becoming my favorite youtuber of all time, your cinematography is always impressive and the messages you put out there are much needed today… Life isn’t purely about success, but instead about the people you meet and the memories you make with them
you are so similar to me. i unfortunately didn't take a gap year like i had always planned to do (thanks covid). i am now a uni dropout (tell that to valedictorian me from last year) and am hoping to move abroad for uni next year. i hate not knowing what life has in store for me, i hate not knowing where i will be in 6 months, ... i feel like i'm missing out on a lot and it hurts sometimes.
I think it's great that you took a gap year to do amazing things and seriously consider whether college is right for you. Most people go to college by default, without really considering the implications and exploring their other options.
That's unbelievable men. This video really helped too much to see life from a bright way I'm actually 15 my life is terrible I live in a poor country whit no motivation and constant depression I also have some sort of social anxiety thank you so much for your hard editing to make this video whit that quality and spread an emotional vibe into. The video before this one was very Inspiral too, and it let me to discover your channel if you noticed my comment whit a heart or anything will make me so happy at least for some time 🙂
I'm starting college soon and I've been having similar thoughts of trying to figure out if I should take the "normal" path that everyone expects or do what I was first passionate about and forget college. Anyways thanks for the video, it's comforting knowing other people have these similar feelings.
Your creations are amazing! You are such a big inspiration for me! I started filming myself and I am loving this form of creativity! A few years ago i left college (halfway through junior year) to start my own business. The last have years have been absolutely wild, and I am still working everyday to find myself. Being an entrepreneur can be so difficult but also rewarding in many ways, and I relate a lot to your journey. Now Im learning that creativity is where I feel the most me, and therefore leaning into all things painting, pottery, journaling, filming, and capturing the peaceful and the adventures times in nature that I cherish. Anyway, thank you so much for creating and I am sending gratitude and good energy:)
Much love Josie! Glad you could resonate. Was definitely super afraid that these topics would be too niche to really be understood by people. But this comment means the world :)
So happy you're leaning into more aspects of creativity! Love that for you. Have a great weekend!
Wow, your comment is so inspiring. I looked into your channel and I really love your videos. I really want to document my life through UA-cam and cherish the good moments. I don’t know what to post or do or say. Idk. But I love your videos! They’re so calm, therapeutic, and relatable
@@o.o995 thank you so much!! I am still very much trying to find exactly my style, but I think that’s the beauty of filming. Everything we create is always changing along with us and the transformation is often what people connect with. If you are excited and intrigued I say go for it! You will never know if it’s for you or not unless you play around with it and try:)
This is wholesome, Simon.
I love these types of videos a lot- an funnily enough, this video has come at a time where I have also decided to go back to college to re-do a course that I never completed so I can pursue my own dreams despite everybody else's negative comments and low faith in me.
Thank you, Simon.
Bro this is exactly how I feel right now trying to balance my passion for building business, photography, and making videos bringing people together etc. Its hard to know where to draw the line because that normal life seems nice but the other life pulls you so much.
I've been feeling some similar emotions, especially going into this next semester. I'm a junior doing two majors at a STEM university, but I generally have this feeling of being lost and unsure if I still want to do those majors anymore. Maybe that's me burning out and getting tired of the same things over and over.
Simon, this was such a great video, thanks for putting this into the world, we will always be here to watch.
Hey, just wanna say thank you and I love you. You made me realize how special and meaningful life are supposed to be.
the silent voice soundtrack i cant this video is too beautiful
Balancing things in life is rather difficult as a student who's wanting to go places. But damn how Simon impacts my thinking about these things is truly mind-blowing. This video is example of decisions and it's consequences. Really thank full for sharing your college-life experience which is one of the best chapters in so called life. Everything happens for a reason.
Was just re-watching your gap year vlog when I saw this! I am graduating community college this year and all I did was focus on academics. I was not in any clubs or met anyone new, and I want to make that change going into junior year of a 4-year school. You have been a huge inspiration and have helped me find a bit more of myself, thank you so much.
I love how he sums up this turmoil of feelings he has going throughout the middle of the past year till now. Wishing you only the best Simon!!
From a fellow gap year student ♥️
I can imagine how difficult it is to balance college/career and your passion but I believe you'll find a way to make it work. Keep on spreading the wholesome and positive energy and Go Blue!
These videos from you always make me cry, bc I relate so much to the content and it gets me thinking exactly how you do. On one hand, I can go to college and find a passion, and make friends that could last a lifetime, or I could just stick to a life in a different place working on myself, but I'm pretty sure I've worked on myself to a point where I'm ready to start a life somewhere else, new experiences, new relationships, a new beginning. I'm super stressed out my mind right now because I have people telling me not go to college, specifically in in New York, and to stick around and do a three year program that basically gives you a college degree, but with less responsibilities. Idk what the fuck to do. It's actually causing me to cry on a daily.
In the same boat, I just don’t know what to do. How’s it going?
@@Adrianaxo. good actually lol, I've pretty much made up my mind that my passion is personal training, so I'm going to try it out during college and see if it's sustainable enough that Ill determine whether I need college or not. I have a summer job lined up for me that should take care of a lot of stuff financially that I was worried about. At this point only time will tell.
Simon seeing your content grow and seeing your Channel progress from 100,000 to 130,000 makes me happy. I’m glad to find you and ever since I have I can say my life has been more laughable and exciting to remember on. So thank you for creating content for us even in your worst, busy, or happiest moments!
When you said you started resenting school a bit that reminded me it’s EXACTLY why I ended up dropping out of traduonatl high school and doing online school. I feel a lot of creative people tend to start resenting the structure and time school takes
the world needs someone like you in every city and campuses... you're just so awesome
I love your style of storytelling. The flow of each video is so seamless and super fun to watch! Keep it up man hopefully someday I can create with you
Whatever journey you embark on Simon, know that there will be people who will keep supporting you. Excellent work here man.
your videos make me feel less afraid to grow up. they show the reality of life and college and content creation and just watching your journey makes me feel secure in however mine will go, your journey is so incredible and it feels great to know im not alone. your videos help me to live and just appreciate life a bit more. thanks simon :) thanks for what you do, no matter the numbers or success you are making an impact on so many people and that is amazing
I'm going to college next semester and this makes me so excited and nervous for it. I can't wait to see what experiences await me. I also know that I'll have to make an effort to make those experiences happen. I find myself often getting so engrossed in my creative pursuits that I forget to make memories with those I love. It's nice to see someone else going through similar things and feelings, and the fact that you found a way to manage both relationships and creativity is very reassuring
I personally love all of your videos. It's like watching a life story, always full with positivity. and so many of your videos have helped me go through hard times :) So please, keep up the good work Simon!
Watching your videos reminds me of my uni years. It took me a while to commit, but it was honestly some of the best years, whether it was all the travelling, meeting new people, working in clubs to keep going, learning about who I was, learning how to question the world, seeing all the different directions. It was so different from who I was before. And I adapted, maybe too much, maybe I lost myself. But maybe it's good to break the pattern to be new and vulnerable. Now, being 30+, I use maybe 30%of what I studied in 7 years of uni and developed my own ways of working, endless creativity. Everything i have been told won't work, is what im doing, lol.
I learned you never wanna have just one job that you love, and you always wanna have a few different ways of income. We grow and change, and so everything around us. When you brave to jump into change, it will always take you somewhere new.
I love your storytelling, always make me cry, I don't know why, but you lose that volume of feeling as you got older. It means things are less intense, but also, the things you wanna feel doest feel as big. One thing I don't enjoy about getting older. So, watching your video helps me to remember. Bitter sweet. But maybe I can bring it back. Love.xx
Having this external birds eye view over your own life is so powerful. It feels like you're showing so much of your life but at the same time I know this is such a tiny fraction of what actually was and is going on. Incredible job on documenting, editing and storytelling. Thank you for sharing!!
Simon is the most inspiring person that I know. I watch your videos everyday and it’s all worth it 🫶 you make my life worth living again
I wish I could like a video more than once. You're such an amazing creator who makes great impact with videos and you have a special talent!!!!
Thank you so much brady :)
i found your channel and its helped me so much, i just want to say thank you
I'm indigenous... leaving my reserve for the first time in a couple weeks.... going to a film school program..... I'm terrified.
But this made me hopeful. Beautifully done.
Best of luck to you Paige! Can't imagine how much strength and courage it takes to leave your reserve to pursue your future. Whenever you're feeling lost, scared, or confused, sit down and reflect on your purpose in life, and what going to film school means to you. I promise, it will reassure you and keep you moving forward! Much love from Toronto, Canada 😊
You’ll be okay❤
I love how there's just a foundation of wisdom and insights in every video. The hard work, persistence, and creativity. The ability to tell your life and convey it with such importance is a talent. You were meant to do this. Keep doing you! You just got a new subscriber...hehe me.
Watching your videos genuinely is helping me through my first year of college and figuring myself out, much love man keep doing you
wont be surprised if you got a million subscribers by the end of the year dude. I'm loving your videos. i just had my last exam of the year today and am already planning on where I'm travelling to this summer!
As someone who has struggled with exactly this and was wondering why I felt so cynical, I came to a massive realisation that shifted my perspective and I think it will help you a lot.
I didn't fear death so I thought that meant I was free from the burdens of society, so I didn't understand why i had such strong anxiety about life until I realised that I had a deep fear of ending up with a mediocre life. I attached everything to it, all my actions were rooted in that fear. I had to accept that there is a good chance I do have a mediocre life and be okay with that before I was ever able to be free from the anxiety that constantly brought me down.
i swear ever since watching your videos its given me so much motivation to just experience everything no matter what it is. your content is my main reason for branching out and actually putting effort into what I want to create and achieve. so Thank you simon
Simon, you got me through life even when In the darkest stages. Currently I’ve managed to get 2 really good friends and another friend I talk to a lot. A good family and soon a dog. You deserve so much I hope your life in your new house is amazing just like your personality. Thank you. -Seb
You got the dog yet?
Absolutely loved the video. Had a nostalgic youtube core to it, yet managed to remain very interesting without a jump cut every few seconds. I feel like any good vlog should feel like peeking into someone's life for a few minutes while telling a great story. This was defninitely all of that.
Your videos are a massive inspiration to me and help me momentarily escape from everyday life. Thank you for doing what you do :))
i feel like i can weirdly relate to this. i dont know what i properly want to do in life. i feel as if i had a plan, but idk if its what i want. but i also dont want to put myself in a situation where im stuck and struggling. im not sure where and how im going to be doing in the nest 3-5 years and its stressful. everything seems like a struggle and i always say to myself i just gotta trust the process and everything will be okay in the future. everything will turn out the be okay even if you dont know whats happening right now. and i think that it something that a lot of people need to realize, even myself, and sometimes if difficult to understand.
We need to remember that we don't have a specific purpose in life. We don't have a path to follow. We feel lost, but in reality we are right where we put ourselves. It's hard to figure out what to do with your life, when life has no plan. We should really just remember that stressing about feeling lost is normal, and that we don't have to figure anything out. We should just do what we enjoy and what feels right. Change stuff up a bit from time to time. Take risks.
The way I feel I am about to relate to this very soon, as a high school senior still deciding what to do next year... is kinda scary, but this video gave me some comfort that I am not alone and college maybe is not so bad
I graduated highschool last summer and have been doing nothing for the last 8 months. I feel completely lost and don't know what to do with my life. It would've been so much easier, if I could go to college straight after graduation.
If I were you, I would go to college after highschool. Trying to dig yourself out of the hole of no motivation and feeling of being lost is not easy.
I’ve watched 3 of ur videos, the Africa one, love, and the i hope this makes you feel something. All of them have been amazing peices of content and I think you are one of the best UA-camrs I’ve ever watched and I really hope you go far brotha❤
I feel like I'm watching the evolution of Simon into a wise old man that everyone goes to for life advice one day. Love your videos dude
I'm about to start university in a month and this film made me feel and know that I will be okay. I have a hard time separating friends and to know that the people I will meet will be there just as my old friends, this film has taught me to be strong like you. #youtubenewwave
I feel like going on a gap year made college worse as you made all these friends and had an over saturated year leading to the harsh reality of college hitting worse
wow. I have never resonated with a UA-cam so much! As a fellow creative who is also in school, it was amazing watching the emotional rollercoaster that I experience in another person's perspective, but in 19 minutes. The way you have managed to build something, while staying true to who you are is remarkable! I have always wanted to document my life, but fear gets in my way. Ignoring that though, I am leaving feeling inspired and hopeful. Thank you Simon!!
its crazy that i have to pack up all my things, and moved it to my dorms.
college is crazy and unreal to think about.
Hey Simon you and I both are of same age i do have also taken a drop last year ,not to explore or having a taste of different fruit ,but i have taken a drop for my jee advanced entrance exams,and I guess we both have started our college first year at the same time,but the way you document your life ,it really inspire me,i am not just winging it,I mean it,everything you create it give some sort of different kick to try new things rather than running in circle,thanks for making this masterpiece ,i can say that it's not just a video it's a movie that you have made 🙏🙏❤️thank you to inspire me ❤️😘
These videos are SO calming and so real I really appreciate this channel and all the work you put into it Simon!!
11:30 I feel that hella. After a relationship of 2 years I looked back at everything and realized I didn’t focus on myself but we got it man.
The video is crazy the feelings i get while watching it. Are like watching a movie your film abilities are great.
I can feel the peace and calmness through your videos ☺️😌
I really appreciate you videos and how genuine they are. They’re realistic and relatable. I’m thinking about going back to college but also not sure if it’s worth it. But you never know until you try right?
I just started watching your videos and I just have to say… great job! The emotion and story behind your videos almost describes how I felt at one point and when I feel like I am falling back into an uncertain headspace, videos like this help ground me and show me to let life guide me and I am just a passenger along this road trip. Keep doing what you’re doing!
it's so enjoyable to watch your video,so peaceful and warm.
as a chinese freshman,my english is not that good,somehow i can totally relate to you🥰
I decided to subscribe now to you from this video, because you don't sugarcoat your journey, you definitely reflect on the struggles of maintaining your relationships, career and education, and it's not shown, but I can understand the emotional difficulty of reading your life pathway from an unknown extent. This was the only video I fully committed my attention to on UA-cam for 2024 honestly. I thank you for showing your authenticity and journey.
Also thank you for the milanote recommendation! It has definitely changed my life for the better as a visual learner and creative person. It haves a broad tool usage to allow you to stylize your own note page with no restricted formatting. It's a creative person's dream tool.
videos like these feel like hugs bro, they're so ethereal yet true to reality and sweet
deadass makes me wanna go back to college now. I havent been back to college in really since the pandemic began and because of stress and work. I appreciate your videos and im glad to stumble across your channel and the channels of Aiden and Natalie and everyone else. proud of you guys
I’m a few years older than you. I ultimately decided to drop out of school and pursue my passions. I’ve since travel 48 states and Europe. While I can’t tell you whether finishing school is the right or wrong choice for you, what experience has taught me is that having that degree is a good backup plan if your passions lie elsewhere. Keep it wholesome, Simon ❤
hey, from someone who doesn’t have any passion in school and does not have any idea what career i would have any interest in. Did you work for a while to save the money to travel/ how were you able to accomplish this? Thanks!
@@unscriptedintrospection That's a very fair question. Even though I dropped out of college, I work in technology as a product designer. I dropped out to work at a tech startup. I started designing when I was in middle school, so I already had the experience I needed rather than a degree. After the startup, I dealt with a ton of imposter syndrome and ended up taking a break and driving a truck over the road for 2 years, hence the 48 states. Less ideal and picturesque than vanlife, but I was getting paid to travel. Current job is how I afforded international travel.
Glad ur back bro :)
i discovered your channel a week ago, but you’re already my new favorite youtuber. i really enjoyed this video, and even though you may be away from your creator friends, you can still make the most of what you have with your friends at college.
Hey Simon,
I was always struggling how I split my time between being a business man/creator and just having a good time with my lovely friends. The sentence you said: „It‘s up to me to decide where I draw the line“, is so powerful. I just often forget that the reason why we do business and create is in order to live a better life, so let‘s always not forget to really live the life we are working so hard for.
Regardless if u complete college or not, please never stop making videos. The cinematography and music is insanely beautiful and yet so simplistic.
Just seen a couple of your videos and I think your willingness to put yourself out there and start and share experiences with new friends is super awesome and admirable. I think you're making the best out of your life right now and I'll be rooting for you :D
Oh hey, im from Germany and i loved how u used the cro Song in the begining. Big shoutout and respect for your creation❤
Bro you literally make my day every time i watch your videos. You make me feel at home but the true home.
appreciate you, go on like this
Thank you Simon for showing this experience as I can hope for the best of my future, you gave me the motivation and inspiration that no one could’ve ever gave me thank you !!
Another masterpiece, I wish you luck on your journey and I know it'll all work out for you. From someone who doesn't know much about what will happen in their future, to another, good luck. Thank you always for sharing with us your story. Thank you
trust and enjoy the procces
You use all the music I listen to on a daily basis and it really brings your message close to home. As I’m on my way to work, sitting at my desk listening to my music the ideas and messages of your videos resonate in my thoughts.
I keep going back to this, but it doesn't make sense why it's not preforming well analytically. But I think it's one of your best yet, such a beautiful job at storytelling and narrating your life.
Soon he’ll be there
discovered you when you posted your gap year video and honestly love the way you portray a story thru these videos. keep doing you man!
Watching your story and hearing your thoughts, I relate to it so much and what I went through during my own college experience. Never lose that deeper voice inside of you that connects you to the voice of the world. Highly recommend reading The Alchemist too when you feel like you're off track. I honestly wish I documented my trips and thoughts like this, I think it's such a powerful form of reflection. Thank you for your vulnerability and for sharing your story. Would love to connect some day, maybe on a trip somewhere. Never lose yourself.
your vid poped up on my recommendation and suddenly i watched all of your video. Like for real, it made me feel safe and sound. Reminded me of the time i was in Canada as a international student, those days were hard but feel better. Keep up with your stuff and appreciate it bro. Wish we can be friend🙏
I truly love watching your videos . The creativity, the authenticity and joy are indescribable
I have found your channel at a time when I am struggling with my direction in life- your videos have reminded me of what it felt like to follow passions and build relationships and a future. Thankyou so much for that
Your videos are so comforting and inspiring. You’re one of my comfort creators for sure!!❤
I should say this is really a good video that got to show us how important friends are when you have them and how society can reshape your relationship with friends and loved ones something similar is happening to me but its mostly the opposite where I can barely make friends in college and thats killing my spirit and i cant keep up with school work because I am tired of school I am sick of everything its quite sickening
simon, i really love this video. thank you for being so real as always. i really appreciate and enjoy the storytelling and the cinematography, and im sure it’s no easy feat juggling college and content creation, but thank you for telling your story and inspiring a generation of youths who are still figuring out their lives as well. always looking forward to the next one :)
Bro I just found you and I am mind blown. Talking about your mental struggles with this debate between chasing passion or career in college has been my life for two years now. the line between relationships and work is so true. I may have to come to this creator camp now. I actually live an hour away from you and just shocked by this entire thing. Super inspiring man.
Love how you put that German song, "ich lieb wenn du tanzt"!!
Among other things...I love how you still print pics ❤
I really liked the conclusion you made. I wholeheartedly reject the notion that it's all or nothing. Nobody is JUST a creator, or JUST a student. While it is true that doing both yt and college at the same time comes with sacrifices, you can do a kick ass job at both at the same time, just perhaps differently than those who go 1000% in to one or the other.
Yeah, I hated my university life at the time, I felt lied to from watching all the movies glamorising it as "The best years of your life" or even the time to "Find the love of your life". Now, looking back, I just miss my friends and all those long nights we had to sleep on campus just to finish our assignments on time. A lot of bonding came from those shared "bad experiences" we had to suffer through together.
i am new to the channel but these vlogs are vibes these are soo good to watch aesthetically pleasing and arr ofcourse wholesome ❣
Always seems like your videos pop up when needed the most, especially me considering going back trying to enjoy my life. Thank you man for a different perspective

Oh man, this video was so inspiring! Thank you Simon! It's so hard wanting to be in two places at once, this I am learning as I travel; that the more you do, the more you expand yourself - the more places you'll want to be, the more people you will miss. Life is large & I'm sure you can find a balance between your worlds 😇
This guy is rlly helping me sort my life out, I’ve felt pretty de motivated lately. But I’m starting to figure things out
