I just dropped out yesterday. The future seems so uncertain, literally anything can happen. But I have faith things will get better and I'll find my way. Ironically I felt more lost in uni than I do now I've quit.
How are you feeling now?
Dropping out in 5 days
@@user-zm7sg8qu5u I hope you have the people that will support you during this tough time
@@user-zm7sg8qu5u stupid decision
I hope you're doing well guys :)
I'm sitting in my college parking lot watching this... I have been going through a time in my life where studying has no appeal to me. Last semester I simply could not bring myself to open a book, or do my assignments, or even come to class. I failed all my classes, of course, and this semester I didn't even enroll. I've been lying to my family about attending school, so much that I built a fake schedule (I leave my house during these times) and have been doing fake assignments (really just diary entries). I feel so lost. I want to be a singer but I can't write music and my voice isn't anything special. I (knowingly immaturely) feel so discouraged seeing successful artists earn their degrees while also being world famous. Even seeing and hearing my peers talk about being stressed about exams makes me feel immense guilt for what I'm doing. My parents sacrificed everything for me to have an education and I'm throwing it all away because I feel so lost. I feel like I don't have a place in this world.
I'm so sorry, that got longer than I intended. But truly, your video made me feel less alone. Thank you for sharing your story
Hi!!!....you probably don't know me...but seeing your comment made me write this to you...
See, I don't know where are you right now(both emotionally and physically)....but as a human being.....I just want to say that you are an amazing and wonderful person, having the courage to open about it online and all....and you got this, just try doing some small stuffs first which you like...and gradually you'll get a hold of this.....I hope my simple wish gives you power to bounce back.....Have a good day✋✋
@@saptadeepnath7315 thank you so much for your kind words
@@sailormono_ Nice to see you again....
I'm glad you are okay....I mean...you are always welcome....
I really was so hurted at the time of reading your comment....and so I decided to help you with some of my wishes......anyways...i hope for you to be happy and positive....good day!!👍😄❤
@@sailormono_ Also...I too am an aspiring musician...and I truly feel your words...so yeah!!
Hiya friend :) I'm sorry that you were going through those things and I hope that you're in a better position right now. Don't let those barriers stop you from following your passion. There are many singers and songwriters that didn't have those qualifications but it didn't stop them from following their dreams. If you are passionate for something, chase after it. Doubt is your worst enemy but you have to overcome it. You can do anything you put your mind to and remember that there are people who support you every step of the way. I may not know you, but I support your passion and hope that you make it😌💙much love.
I've decided to quit school. It has caused me too much stress. For now, I will learn by myself. Study my own topics on different subjects and lessons. I don't have to worry about due dates and other bullshit crap.
I actually just set up my Audio technica along with my whole setup for singing because of you. I downloaded fl studio to make my music dreams possible because of videos like yours. Thanks for everything. I never went to college and believe I can still be what I want to be in life. You can do it!
Thanks for all of your kind words🥺❤️ I believe in us!
@@AnnieDang 😊 hello ❤ from India
I feel you, I live in a third world country where having a stable career is what is going to put food on your table, but still want to be an artist and do what I like for a living. Thanks for this video, it inspired me a lot.
hey, i hope you and your family are doing okay ❤️ praying that your dreams can come true
@@_eIIa_ Thank you so so much ❤️
@@zamyr6629 of course 😌😊
This is my problem to I want to make animation but there is no way I can do it because of the harsh reality i live in 😢I can't achieve my dreams
As always, I’M SO PROUD OF YOU!! Two dropouts taking over the world? Bet, we got this. 💖
THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND, NOW THERE ARE TWO OF THEM!
There's 3
Now 4
5
Potentially 6
I feel the way girl way is wanting to be an artist not taken seriously among the older generation, I'm proud of you go way your passion is and follow your guts 💕
having dropped out myself in the past, i recognize a lot of the feelings in this video. your willingness to push on past this strange and unknown chapter is inspiring, just like your video/outlook on insecurities was. you'll get through this, i believe in you!!
What do you do for living
More power to you, girl. I'm with you. I'm also dropping out, dropping out of what's expected of me by others, and dropping in into what my soul expects out of me.
Frrrrr saje thing here I’m already lit doing well college is not for me
GOOD JOB. It takes a lot of courage to abandon others' expectations and accept that the POINT of life is to be HAPPY. Whenever I tell my friends or family that I don't need or want to go to college, they tell me that it's a waste of talent but in reality, it's the opposite. It's me pursuing what I've always wanted and loved, music.
Very true! As long as it makes us happy and it takes good care of us, there’s no reason to not go for it! sending you all the love ❤️
That's exactly what it felt like for me when I quit my first job. I felt trapped, stuck, isolated - that cubicle came to feel like a cage that would go out hunting for birds. I was miserable, and I felt like what does it matter making a stable living if this is what living feels like?
Yeah I get it, I technically dropped out of college after the first year. I built up absences, started failing classes. My GPA tanked and it cost me. I ended up being told if I returned the next semester (in august) I’d most likely be put on academic suspension. So I decided to leave, returned back to my hometown and started attending community college. While desperately search for work, while struggling in classes again. Nothing truly sucks worse than returning home realizing all your friends from High School have scattered and now I’m basically completely alone.
Sending you strength and light🫂
damn yr situation is basically the same as me except my highschool fds are still there for me till this day! I promise u will find a way and everything will become better, sooner or later❤sending love to ya
I enrolled in college completely alone and I have no desire to study whatsoever. My assignments were due last week and I'm thinking of deferring the next semester.
More than being alone, being broke is making me stressed. My family going through debts is not helping me because now I don't have enough to eat. What could have helped me study, that is, college environment or the nearest library, it is all a dream now. As I have to be constantly mindful of money (food, parking ticket and more).
I have no allowance, so I have to come home to eat. No longer in a study environment(at home instead of college, cafe or library) robbed me of my motivation to study. Hence I'm thinking of taking a break from college for a while, going to work, then continue studying.
Pair poor+laziness with family politics (my mother dread my father, and their expectations for me to be a business graduate), I can't do this. I'm definitely taking a break next semester. Got to ignore my mothers' motivations(got used to it for many semesters), naggings and scoldings while working.
I very desperately need money. I'm not even living for myself at this point because of the compromises I make. The food I eat is tasteless(I dread my mother's food, I don't relate with those who miss their mother's cooking) and I'm a shell of a man I once was. Nothing motivates me like I once was. What even is the point of my existence? No, I'm not suicidal, just confused. But all I could think of right now is work.
Even when I do study, what break do I take? Video games are not as appealing to me like it used to, movies are blatantly sinful (swearing, sex and more, it makes me uncomfortable for a reason), fiction is pointless, it gives no point whatsoever and many other "fun" things like outdoor activities cost much time and money
I'm only thinking of working, workout and woodworking, not education, assignment and presentation
See you in a couple years starting your own Netflix Original series
Grats on 20k btw! So happy for u 💕🥳
HAHAHA only if you’re here to watch it 😂❤️
I feel you totally feel you, my family is same, I feel the same way you're feeling right now. I don't know what to say, just want to say what you did truly needed guts, am so proud of you stranger, may you get along and find your way!
I want to be a composer but I don't know if I can survive in the long run. I'm also just a beginner now so there's so much to learn and so many challenges to face. Most of the time I just feel demotivated cause I wasn't sure if i can do it. But you have inspired me to keep moving forward. Thank yo so much :D
Just found this channel yesterday because I wanted to start studying music and I was amazed by the quality of these videos and your funny personality so I believe that you can do really well ! Good luck on your path 💪
you have no idea how much helpful is this video for me, i completly understand how much it hurts not being enough to our parents who sacrificed so much for us, thank you so much and I'll be here as an og fan, cuz too soon you will become a big artist, you already have all that it needs
sorry for my english, it isn't my first lenguage
You’re very brave! Never stop doing the things that fuel you!🖤
Annie, this is no doubt the most beautiful video I've seen on your channel. Big congratulations for choosing to live your own fullfilled life instead of family-society's dogma.. Good luck on the roadtrip, I am sure you'll have the time of your life! Sending hugs ♥
You so real for this. Good job having the strength to go through with it, I could never.
i’m so proud of you for this decision
You captured the same feeling I felt in a short timeframe the moment I decided to stop and rethink my life. I'm currently supporting myself financially and saving up to make my passion with arts (traditional & digital) a career sooner or later. Thank you for sharing this, it means a lot to a fellow dropout 💗😢 not everyone would be understanding and supportive but things like this truly helps.
Love from Philippines xoxo
Annie! Thank you for sharing your story with us. You are so inspiring to many of us here on YT and I’m glad you’re finally going to pursue what you’ve always wanted to do. I believe you’re gonna accomplish so much in your life and I couldn’t be more proud of you for chasing after your dreams. I send you the best of luck, Annie! :D
Annie!! It must've been really hard for you to decide that decision. I'm really happy for you. Yes, no journey is certain, I totally agree. Good luck on everything!!
You are absolutely amazing. I can really feel you are on the right path 💜✨
Thank you for sharing your story. It really mean a lot to me. And good luck in life😊
Dear Annie, 💖
I wish the whole world could watch your videos, they are full of hope! ilysm you just made one of the worst day of my life 10x better.
all the videos you make are so inspirational and motivational it could make so many people out there feel better!
youre such a musical inspiration to meee!! i found u through your spotify and fell in love with your art. im really happy u got the courage to make that big leap :D i want to go into art too, but i still want to get a degree i enjoy to have a back up plan. i cant wait for my future in art, i dont know whats gonna be there but i hope its good
i believe in you!!! go wherever your heart leads! i know you’ll figure it out ❤️
I know EXACTLY what you're talking about, so relatable. This was made beautifully btw, the sound design was so good!
This was very touching, as I am stuck in a similar predicament. I feel lost and unsure of what the future holds, but “I have to finish school” so that I can feel like my future will lead somewhere.
So proud of u love 🥺💛 cant wait to see what this new chapter will bring for u
Love this Annie! thank you for being transparent with us :)
This is the most beautiful video i have ever seen wish i discovered you soon i can relate to how you feel and how much i want to change thank you for your piece of art
You was so brave thank you for dont give up of your dreams and and what you love to do dont matter what it is if you love it and you feel happy doing it just keep doing.
Don’t know you but I’m extremely proud of you for doing what a lot of people, including myself never had the guts to do. You won’t regret it, wishing you all the best!
Thank you so much!!!
I dropped out of college too because I had a car accident and basically was just overwhelmed with everything. but then I saw your video on how to record songs/covers for noobs, so I started buying equipment so I could start playing around with music since I've always loved it. I feel what you're going to and we appreciate you here! good luck!!
Beautiful spoken word, we'll stand with you no matter what Annie
U r indeed going to reach heights that would be better than your dreams girl! I can see it now even if u can't. Just keep going dear! KEEP GOING! KEEP SHINING! KEEP ZINGING!
This hits hard. I feel this. Thank you.
Good job, girl! You got this!! 💪You are not alone!!! 💓
Damn.. i loved this.. you did a great job!
And wow, a dropout? Im proud! Chase your dreams and do what feels right for you!🙏🏼
Wow, that gave me soo many goosebumbs. I just came across your channel and I‘m loving every video. Keep going you are amazing✨❤️
is my willingness to see this through. such perfect choice of words
hope the best for you annie! ❤️
you'll succeed!!! we trust you! and will give you all the love and support to you,
all the wayy!!!
this is why i will support your channel more
Thank you so much for making this video, I’m 20 and I was on my second month of college and dropped out the same day my bf broke up with me, I felt like a failure like everything was crashing but now I see this as an opportunity to heal myself, to discover myself. As my psychiatrist said nothing I start now will work if my head is not in the right place, and after a lot of panic and anxiety attacks it is time to stop pushing it away and dealing with those feelings. It is important we talk and show this part of our lives so we feel less alone.
This was so beautiful it made me cry 😭😭😭❤
Wow. I have no words. Your bravery is inspiring.
We got your back!! Chase your dream! Always here when you need support
thanks a million Andy!
This video is pure art, the way it is constructed
When i was still in university, i have the same dilemma as you, even until now. Your video really inspired me. I wish all the best for you in life and everything else.
This video is soo inspiring to me... I'm on the verge of dropping out of medical school and this video spoke my mind... Not only is it well put together it carries a lot of meaning and emotion too. Has to be my favorite video ever.
Omg, Thank you soo much for sharing your beautiful story, My Lovee !! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THISS BABE !! I can relate to this soo much !! This made me tear up !! I’M SO EXTREMELY PROUD OF YOU MY LOVEE !! SENDING YOU LOADS OF LOVEEE, BLESSINGS, POSITIVE ENERGY AND BIGG HUGSS !! WE’RE GONNA GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER !! YOU GOT THIS BABE !! ❤️❤️❤️🥺✨
Thank you so much for that video
Hi
I have struggled almost the same way you described when I chose to change my field in school. I was studying biology but I couldn't hold my passion for art down.
Ofc my people tried to change my mind bcuz choosing art for career IS terrifying...
But I'm here anyways. Life is too short to satisfy anybody else rather than yourself.
I'm so proud of you! I'm sure it took a lot of courage
Stay strong 🖤
This made me cry…. Thank you for sharing🥹🫶🏼
I couldn't be more hopeful when I saw you talk about what exactly I'm experiencing rn.
Just found your channel and see how authentic you are. I am a dancer but can sing as well. I want to explore further what I can do. I am currently a dance major and sometimes consider dropping out but I’m not sure that’s the right decision yet.
I’m glad I’m in college for the major I wanted but it was as soon as I got out of high school I didn’t even get to do things I enjoy. The assignments are overbearing along with working trying to get a car and I recently lost my grandma. It’s just so much going on I want to succeed in my major but I rather have waited just a little longer to find myself.
You're all ready an artist !!!
By the way when are we getting our other videos ? annie dang 💚
You're so brave and I'm happy things are going well for you❤. I'm in med school in my second year, honestly if I could drop out I would but my family would probably disown me😢 like music has been a part of my soul since childhood but how I've been raised that doesn't really matter
I love this video,good luck ❤
Such an inspiring story! ❤
Wow... I just found this video but I dropped out Uni on June to pursue my dreams as well, I totally get what you feel, specially when you said you feel like you’re driving so fast not even knowing if you’re on the right direction but you just keep going on... I’m on the same boat.... let’s push and push this throughout hopefully we will make it to what our hearts desire... music and art. I send you a lot of good vibes I hope you can achieve your goals as well :) good luck on your journey
Why is ur voice so satisfying😭
hey i dont know you for long but the much i know you is you're an awesome talented artist we all are with you so be calm have a good time
it hits so hard........im literally crying thanks
We support u🧡
I feel you so much... I am wanting to be a gigging musician so bad, but I'm unsure if I'm able to make it. I will see what comes in the future, because rn I love music more than anything in the world, and I'm gonna make my dreams come true!
that's so great to see , it was brave of you to drop out
and thank you fot sharing,
Thanks for this video😭❤
oh my god... today, i was actually thinking of dropping out because music and art is what makes me truly happy... its such a coincidence that i met with your video today and it made me more sure of myself so THANK YOU SO MUCH... i love art and i love music and i always have... but its terrifying for sure... thinking you might not have the talent or you wont get an opportunity is terrifying... thinking you might be homeless because no one would like you... its horrifying... but, i think im going to put myself to the test... loved your video tysm!! :)))
I'm very proud of u! I'm really are!!!
Follow your Dreams, you gonna succeed🖤
we all with you 🔥👌
I have a same dream as u do...I WANNA BE A WORLD FAMOUS SINGER AND A BILLIONAIRE PERSONALITY. rn I'm a highschool student and I'm hanging In the middle of ,what should i do to make all that come thru??? May be I know the ans..but neglecting it 🙅yeah but I know something needed to done to make all that work *THANKS FOR REMINDING ME , WHAT I EXIST FOR*
LOVE FROM INDIA 🇮🇳
this is so beautiful
Thank you Holly🥺❤️
the world is a strange place. people place so many expectations onto your shoulders and expect you to follow them without struggle. dropping out is not for everyone but so many people do better because of it. ❤
this is a masterpiece your williness, and faith will make a way and God ofcourse
Best of luck. You are brave
I'm currently in bed watching this because I just dropped out and don't know how to start.
im in a similar situation except i didnt drop out but i decided not to go to uni or college and its my first year after high school. thankfully my parents let me do what i want but they constantly pressure me to consider studying in school since im still really young and talk about how i can try get a scholarship when im really not interested. they're sort of supportive but at the same think im making the wrong choice. also my older sister in university and my younger brother plans on going next year too. im taking a risky path with my career but im excited and i have a lot of faith. hope things work out for you
Dropped out on 7th June… i feel you
Do you regret it
After 2 years I found it to be a Miracle, while I dropped out from Economics from a reputated University in Kolkata to pursue what I have always wanted to have. Pursue Art . My family especially my father is devastated for what I have chosen, he was shattered but at the end it was my choice and they got to support me. And as you said everything is uncertain but we got to go as Everything is uncertain. But we should be happy, no matter what.❤
Today is my first day after I dropped out and I’m scared but I’m happy
My first semester of Freshman year, five classes, one too many, I was overwhelmed and easily distracted, and ended up writing on any paper I had(piece of). Despite being incredibly organized at the beginning of the semester. It was a relief, but I felt I failed. I took a few years off, went back to high school for a post-grad year, strengthened my academics, revived my confidence. I went back a few years after that. Much better experience(college), I got on the Dean's List once. It all worked out! 1982-88. (I took time off, great decision). And went back to same college(Holyoke Community College in Massachusetts) ten years later, for a second degree, two years then, much better experience. I take full responsibility. I was more organized, took four courses and mastered my studying habis. I loved college!
aquariums unite! i would take artistic visionary any day over cubicle h e double hockey stix ;) your videos motivate me so much - so i feel like you’re already making an impact girl you got dissss 💛
i'm not dropping out, but i'm choosing to study musical theatre next year instead of what my father wants for me (which is what your mother wants for you). i also took your advice and ordered everything i need to explore my potential as an artist here on youtube in hopes of giving something back to the world, as you gave so much inspiration and motivation to me. thank you annie, you're being so strong and encouraging others to be strong as well 💕
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
At first i was soooo excited to be there now everything about it sucks, and nothing hits harder than studying and still failing. I did my part, attended classes, paid attention and studied tirelessly but nothing to show for it 😭💔, once i make it outta my state I'll never return until my dreams are achieved halfway ❤
"I felt like i was choosing between the life my family wanted for me and the one I knew I wanted for myself " Sending hugs Anniee ✨ You are so brave 💞, I know this is the hardest decision :< Choosing between life that your family wanted for you over the things that you wanted for yourself. I really want to be an artist too . I badly want to pursue music. ☹️
Beautiful video. Inspires me to do a similar one as I consider dropping out as well. Really enjoyed!
I do relate with a lot of the things you said, but unfortunately I’m not brave enough to do what I want.
Same
keep driving to that highway, we will champion your choices!
I am proud of you
Couldn't have put and said it any better myself. This is exactly what I'm feeling.
WAIT. UNIVERSE. WHAT?
I'm a second year westphal (Drexel arts) student and I am literally having an identity crisis. I'm not sure if this path is for me, or if it will make me feel satisfied. I think co-op being on the horizon is a big part of that stress.
I don't think I'm going to drop out (at least not at this time. I'm going to try to find something different within the uni or I'll transfer. I'm about to watch your people grow as plants video because I need to hear that message. But the timing of me choosing this one first and hearing it from another drexel kid who was struggling is fulfilling in a way I didn't know I needed.
Edit: I'm so happy you didn't change to a music industry major because you needed that pressure off your back. I found you while you were creating for fun, and enjoying what you do with passion.
Please Please Please do a video on all the equipment,instruments and recording stuff you use to make your songs. i need to know your set up!!!!
I can relate! I had to convince my family that I could still have a stable life, while going to uni to study music performance. It's so important we listen to the leading of God in our hearts, telling us what to do. So many artists are hiding in other jobs because of their fear. Then they grow older and realise that life is temporary and then begin to pursue their dreams at an older age, like age 30-40, which isn't the most thriving compared to when you're in your youth. It's so important to do what you want NOW, while you're young, so you know how t=it feels, and if it is something you really want to do and willing to dedicate to. Whenever I have doubts or fears and struggles creep in, I remind myself that God will finish what He started in me. Jesus is with me no matter what happens. As long as people are being uplifted and inspired, that's all that matters and I am satisfied.
:) im in college and i feel the same. I still didnt feel like I belonged there. But i decided to just do my best and get the first job and the college certificate and the graduation ceramony for my parents as its what they want to see me in.
I tell myself that this didnt mean im throwing my dreams away. If i always dreamed tl be a certain person ill surely go that direction. I just didnt want to burst their dreams and hope for their child and especially when im the eldest. My brother is already against them for it and is dropping out for a less powerful certificate. I respect his decision only because i understood it.
But for me, for my parents who paid everything until now and has not allowed me to work once and even for my driving license, the best ill do is work for a year or 3, in the career field i chose out of convenience.
And when i have enough, ill chase my own dreams. It just meant I will start much later so everyone is not fully salty and I have good relationship with my parents and i am also allowing myself time to practice a little here and there and show my dreams in bits until i can break free and pursue it fully.
Its a bit late but, what you're doing now is something I can't do because im not brave enough :) I love your video and your athmosphere. Its so cozy and simple. I'm so happy you're pursuing your dreams, it makes me a small bit salty and jealous :D im gonna head your direction in a few years from now and i wish you only the best
