YOu guys. I just realised I accidentally cut out a portion of the video where I discussed the value of having a job on your gap year. Having a job and responsibilities is great! I had a job on my gap year. However the point of the video is really just about facing the American culture of constant productivity and I hope that comes across. Anyway Have a good one! :)
Really enjoyed the video. I'm taking a gap year right now. I enjoyed the summertime off with friends and now that school has started back up for everybody I'm finding myself motivated to work on personal projects alongside my job. Learning tricks on a skateboard, 3D modeling, RUclips, and some reading. I definitely wouldn't be devoting that time to all those things if I had school alongside it all. I think a gap year is a great idea 👍
FINALLY, someone talking about gap year videos that are sooo focused on building resumes and traveling. Like no? Gap years should be built on personal goals, some people don't want to travel, some wants for example to work on their mental health or reconnect with their loved ones. Thank you for talking about this
I took a semester off last year and I taught 1st grade as a sub. It was very valuable and I learned a lot about children and myself. It kind of made me appreciate college way more and in a way made me think about how I need structure and less random unfulfilled free time to feel happy. Like I miss the structure of having a "job" and getting roasted every day by six years olds. I mean how can you not laugh when a student comes up to and tells you that you have the same haircut as his mom, and my response being that I might have to bring her in the office to give her detention for stealing my style (he laughed at my response). In all seriousness though I think a gap year is valuable and it helps you figure out what you want to do and gives you a break. At first I was worried that like I'm gonna be 22 and still in school and everyone else I know is finished. Though none of that really matters... so here's to finishing senior year a semester or two late.
yessss!!!! i will be taking a gap year after i graduate college this year and, oh my god, the GUILT i have been feeling about it???? this was super grounding, thank you for this!
I thought this video was gonna be anti gap year lol but thank god it wasn’t and I loved it! I’m graduating year 12 this year and I’m planning on doing a gap year
I took a gap year. I started it last year but was obligated to do that because I wasn't prepared for college applications. As an international student, it's more difficult compared to Americans applying for colleges. My family isn't wealthy, and I haven't had the opportunity to study English before (I'm still learning the language), and I'm doing my best in this process. I wish good luck to everyone; God bless you all!!!
Lovin theses chatty vlogs! A gap year is OK! You know you’re going for a college degree but you also know that life is not a race. Do some traveling and get lost…Sometimes you have to loose your self. to find your self. And THEN get that Degree!!
Hey Katie! How are you? I used to watch your vids regularly, been with this channel when you had a couple hundred subs, great to see now it’s almost 4K! You played a big role in my decision of taking a Gap Year. Wanted to let you know, a year later, I have been accepted in A Great Turkish University in Ankara. Thanks for everything!
Here's my problem (I'm not from the US so do keep that in mind) I'm taking a "gap year" currently even tho I do still have online university classes but that's like literally reading and doing a quick little test and shit and I can do my courses whenever I want. The thing is that I'm bored out of my mind everyday, I sleep late and wake up even more late, I have absolutely nothing to do and I'm gaining weight like crazy. I literally feel like I'm wasting my teenage years by doing nothing, and I'm like rotting in bed. It's crazy because I feel lazy and unmotivated as shit and I go to see a therapist and all, but it barely helps. I "dropped" out of college a few months ago and I'm 18, I wish somebody had told me that I'd be feeling like this so I would rethink my choices before taking a decision such as that. That's my experience tho, just sharing, I'm glad some people get to enjoy their gap years and I really wish that was my case (I did even get a job but I didn't like that either)
Hey Katie! Your videos have been so so helpful for my own journey through university and what comes next. Im studying abroad now during my senior year, and considering taking a gap year once I graduate. Your thoughts on things always seem to mimick my own inner monologue. It’s so cool to see how you’ve grown through all of your experiences. Thanks for making videos like this :)
Be free escape The Matrix.... I left school at 15 could barely read and write from dyslexia... Don't worry about me I retired at 42 have fun going to university and working to 75 Smartie pants 👍🏼 I'm dumb you're smart 😁

This is profound
