Hey dudes!

I am currently in my college dorm all settled in, and I can’t believe it. I just wanted to make a video to tell you guys all my experiences of my gap year and just reflect on everything that I did because I seriously think that taking a gap year was the best decision that I could have made. And I really did do some great things with my time. Even though initially I wanted to, you know, travel the world and go on volunteer trips, and you know, things like that. Life gets in the way. So I had to do more practical things. But I still did a lot of fun things. And I’m really glad to be at college now—it’s the right time for me.

Here’s what I did with my gap year:

*Right after high school graduation, (1) ___and I said some really tough good-byes. It was really strange getting used to not seeing my best friends all the time.

*(2) ___.

* (3) ___ with my best friend, and that was something that we’d wanted to do for forever.

*(4) ___ and hanging out with kids at work, so I pretty much only saw people under the age of ten. And for most of the year I was working around 40 hours a week, so, full time.

* Plus Youtube.

* I went inverse skydiving for the first time and, (5) ___ which were both amazing. And I’ve wanted to skydive for a long time, so that was so great to be able to finally do it.

* And (6) ___. I don’t think I’ll ever grow out of that.

* (7) ___ and life-style when I decided to go gluten free, and then a month later, go vegan. And honestly, it’s been a little bit of a struggle, but it’s so, so worth it, and I’m glad that I did it.

* I celebrated my first anniversary with Reed, and our next anniversary is in January.

* Over the course of my gap year I went from 30,000 subscribers to 50,000, and I’m really excited that I just hit 50,000. It was just perfect timing. But I’m also excited to hit 100,000 and a million. Soon, right?

* I got a great opportunity to go to Coachella for free. Well, technically I was going to Coachella to work, so I was getting paid to go to Coachella. It was great.

* Reed and I survived 8 months of long distance, which was really tough, but now we’re going to school together. And it’s amazing.

* I went to Vidcon for the …fourth time? … and I got to meet friends from the Internet that I’ve never seen in person.

* (8) ___. And it was gorgeous. I went on an 8 mile hike there. It was fantastic.

* Also I went to Laughlin, Nevada, and (9) ___.

* And, of course, I made a ton of videos.

* Most importantly, (10) ___, because I decided that it was the right thing for me to do. I got rejected, wait-listed, and accepted. I experienced it all.

But yeah, I am so, so glad that I followed my heart and really listened to myself senior year and decided that college wasn’t right for me at that point, because it gave me the time to do this gap year, and to get my head straight and work, and earn money for the things that I needed, and then figure out that I wanted to go to college and that this college was right for me, and, I’m really, really, excited.

If you guys have ever have any questions about gap years, please ask me. I pretty much recommend them to anyone.

If you guys have any college related, uh, video requests…I am here now, so just let me know.

OK, thanks, bye!
