I’m currently on a gap year. I’m usually like “a year behind” everyone else with everything. While my friends were ready for college, I wasn’t and I wanted to stay home. But now it’s been almost a whole year since I graduated high school and I don’t have a job, internship, or anything planned. I’ve been in a slump and don’t know where to start. I go to the gym a lot now. I had “seasonal jobs” working at my family campground for the summer, and then a haunted woods trail where I was acting in it every weekend in October. But now I feel I need to go to college. I want to do film and acting but where I live there’s not much around here for that. I’m hesitant to move far from home still, but feel like I mostly need to be in a social environment and meet people. I just don’t know where to start after doing nothing all year and feeling useless and lonely…

what did you end up doing? i'm kinda feeling the same way, i'm just starting my gap year

I'm currently on my gap year and the part about all of your friends leaving is a harsh and scary reality. I actually moved right after my High school graduation and not being able to see my friends had me feeling very lost in the beginning even though I only live about 3 hours away. You never realize how little communications on Facetime and text are important until you separate from those you know, especially when it seems to be the most exciting times of everyones life.

thanks for this video, I'm currently struggling to find things like a main activity, it takes me a lot of effort to kind of build up my life on my own, i think that's definitely the toughest part of taking a gap year without having a fixed plan from the beginning, but for me leaving the house prevents me from going into a spyral where I feel I'm not living my potential and I start feeling totally stuck

Loved this video and I have a video request!! I really liked when you talked about how pressurizing social media is and how you took time off it! Can you make more videos about how to take time off/stop using social media? The problem I have is I get bored and redownload them 😂
