Hey friends :) Today I'm sitting down to talk to you about an important subject: choosing your major and college! I struggled for years trying to figure out what I should major in and what career path I wanted, so I hope this video helps if you're struggling too. Throughout this video, I will be sharing why I decided to follow my dreams and how I decided to do that without risking everything. Hope that my experience can inspire you to follow your dreams too :)
Love you all!

It’s absolutely mind-boggling to me that high schools expect basically kids to choose a career path that they’re supposedly going to do for the rest of their lives. There are of course HS students who have grown up a little too fast and are far more mature than their peers, but the average student has been sheltered in this HS bubble. I thought, because I was a good student, I HAD to go to college. I hated every second and dropped out. I joined the military (not for everyone obviously) and, honestly, it was the best decision I could have made. It pulled me out of what I now realize was a seriously closed off cultural bubble. Everyone at my school was Hispanic and so was my whole community. You don’t have to go to college. My sister went and we were super proud of her graduating, but she’s not even using her degree. Venture out of your city, especially if it’s a small town with next to no diversity. Don’t get stuck in the college trap just because you’re pressured by others. “Follow your dream” sounds cheesy af, but if you go in knowing there’s a chance you could “fail” or even just decide it’s not for you, then you’ll be better off.
Wow thank you for sharing your story!! I'm very glad to hear that you figured out the right thing for you and joined the military, even if it wasn't right away. It's so true that nowadays people are just expected to attend college when in reality there are so many other options.
I’m in grade 11 rn and I’m super stressed about picking a career. I figure I might go for another year of high school for some classes that I have missed out on because online school hasn’t offered some of the classes that I wanted. So I’ll have more time possibly but I am worried cause I feel like everyone else has a plan but me.
after 4 years of studying, i gave up of medical school (that i’ve thought that i should do because i’m super good at science and math) to go study fashion design and i’m so happy that i’ve found myself again and it’s so good to see that on other people as well, so thank you so much for this video 🥺🤍
wow this is so inspirational :)) I am extremely glad to hear that studying your passion has brightened up your life:)
Can you please tell me which is a better career choice to take I'm super lost right now🥺
Your parents gave you the greatest advice
I have the greatest parents❤️
hi i’m a senior fashion merchandising student, i changed my major 4 times before deciding on this. I AM SO GLAD I DID!! i was worried it wouldn’t be “safe” and that it wasn’t respectable. but no - EVERYONE in our society wears clothes! clothes are essential in our society. There are so many career options in fashion - designers, buyers, allocators, sourcing, forecasters, PR, e-commerce, etc etc!!! I learn so much about business and consumer behavior and graphic design in my classes, it’s not just clothes
I also love how you emphasized the whole society/culture pressures and how fashion is seen as “lesser than” other majors. Honestly I was and am in the same boat about not being taken seriously. I think a lot of people need to hear that! :))
i’m a senior fashion merch student and i felt the SAME WAY for a long time! but what changed me, is when my teacher said “look around at the people you see today, what do they all have in common? clothes. everyone wears clothes”, and it’s true - clothing is essential (at least in our society) and there are so many careers available in the industry!
woah i was really impressed by the similarities of my experience with yours, when i was in high school i was thinking of going to the same college as my brother for engineering (didn't even know for what, i didn't really like anything actually), but right after finishing high school my dad showed me this new college and they had a fashion design major, and it clicked for me bc i'd been creative since i was young and i was making clothes and stuff with fabric since forever but i didn't consider fashion as a career, so now i graduated last year and i have experience working with well-known local fashion brands so yeah, going for the "safe" path isn't always the only option and i'm glad that more people are realizing that being creative doesn't mean you're less serious than anyone else, especially young people that are taking these decisions about what to pursue and so, i loved this video and all of your channel too🖤
It is so good to hear that following your passion worked out for you❤️ I hope more people do realize the value in choosing a creative career path too❤️
Wow I am a 47 year old, and your video has inspired me to look back at my life and realize that I should maybe follow my dream and go back to school for fashion … thank you for being and inspiration
I’ve always been torn between fashion and science major. In the end, I chose science and I kinda regret my decision. I’ve always had a bad health condition and my current major has been very challenging. I do not enjoy the classes except for algebra and calculus. I want to change my major but I’m just confused.
Hi Celine:) My best friend in my college fashion program who is majorly talented is also named Celine soooo if that isn't a sign then... But seriously I am so sorry to hear that you regret your decision:( I don't know the full extent of your situation or any of the details, but I will say that it is never too late in life to change your path.
@@KianaBonollo hi kiana! İ just discovered you and also your channel, i kinda like to say, you are so supportive and cute. So happy that a human like you is existed and lots of love from here, Turkey🥰❤️
I- why does this actually sound exactly like my life I’m a junior and not sure at ALL if I want to major in a science or fashion/design. Even AP chem and APES I’m literally taking those classes lol
Same I did Great on my AP bio class and exam and want to do Biomedical Engineering but I have loved Fashion all my life like I was the president of my fashion club
I went through the same thing but I actually went to school for business and even worked corporate for a year and despised it. All my friends and family laughed at my dream to work in fashion too. Now I’m trying to get my foot in the door in fashion, it’s hard especially that I want to be creative and have no background in it. Your parents are amazing!
I'm sorry that you have to go through that struggle:( however, please don't ever stop trying! There are so many talented self-taught designers and other fashion professionals that don't have an educational background in fashion! It's never too late to follow your dreams, even if it is on the side for now!
Forget "You don't want to wake up in 30 years." I just finished a two-year degree in software development and started applying for jobs and realized I was trying for this job for ALL the wrong reasons. It was pulling teeth just to get applications in. I am older, did not incur any student debt, and have degrees in other fields that allow me to pivot pretty easily. I also have a husband commands a decent wage, so I can turn around and work 20 hours at a day job and spend off-days and evenings teaching myself tailoring techniques. I'm far from stuck. But what I see so often is people incurring massive amounts of student debt because they didn't second-guess their assumptions, sooner. And then they hit the real world, realize it's actually not in the cards, and *go back to school* (incurring more debt) because they don't know any other way to validate their career transition. And it's *so* heartbreaking to see.
At the same time, I will say that if I had known in high school what I could actually *do* with science (the actual full range of options), I would probably be in experimental archaeology right now and be up to my eyeballs in textiles, regardless. I wish we could move beyond 'engineers' and see more of what creative, adventurous options there *are* in STEM. But of course, that would not be a socially respectable path, either. :7
This honestly reminds me of how I chose to go into a university music program. It worked out great
that makes me so happy to hear:)
As a high school senior currently torn between schools, I needed this :)
I’m so glad I could help💜
Thank you for this ❤️ I started hair school because I loved it but I LOVE fashion! And I’ve decided to drop out of hair school & follow my fashion dreams I really needed this 💕 I appreciate it
Hi Kiana, I just subscribed to your channel after watching some of your great vids. 😊 I am actually 42 and did my college experience starting in '96 ... I can't relate to everything today, obviously, but I can tell you that it's incredible hard to find yourself this early and young adults should not have this amount of pressure. It's hard enough just to live LOL. I tried everything to conform to my choice in college, but it just did not work out. Afterward I lost a lot of years to serious depression. The point is that now I'm middle-aged, I've come to realize that I just want to be myself, and that may be pretty off the wall! But maybe by expressing myself, I can help inspire someone else to do the same. This is a very precious freedom that few people realize. Even though I'm working in finances to pay the bills, learning to sew and express myself on the side brings true authenticity. Fashion is powerful. Culture has risen and fallen, wars have been fought, classes have been formed and discriminated against due to fashion. We can use fashion now to help save the world by being environmental and kind! Fashion also brings people together -- I continuously research clothing from other countries, learning about their cultures. You've helped inspire me as well as any high schooler who watches this. May your life journey be well and inspiring! Peace! ❤❤👌
WOW thank you so much for sharing:) I am extremely glad to hear that you've picked up sewing and that its brought some joy to your life. The statements you've made about fashion being powerful are true. Thank you for reminding all of us the power of fashion.
It’s wonderful that you have been using the same skills that you used in your ap classes (detailed, thoroughness…) to excel in something you love! To thine own self be true😍
Love this video! This is where I’m at now. I’ve always been creative but was told “it’s not a real job”, but now I’m pursuing fashion as well and arts/design. Good to know I’m not the only one who’s been through this. Thank you for sharing 💜
You have no idea how much I needed to hear this. Your experience is exactly what happened to me as well. I finally changed my major to Fashion Design and I can tell that I feel so much better. Thank you so much for this, I think this is something many can relate to. I hope all goes well for you(:
I knew that you guys would be able to relate❤️ I am so so glad to hear that you are happy and studying what you love. That makes ME so happy❤️
I'm so conflicted about going to school for fashion or cognitive neuroscience... totally opposite ends of the spectrum. Thank you for this!
Same! I mean not exactly I’m torn between Environmental science and fashion it’s impossible to get a common ground between my interests
This is my first ever comment on TH-cam,
And I just wanna say you are amazing,
I couldn’t help saying you really are amazing.
And I’m wishing good luck Kiana
This is so incredibly helpful and it really resonated with my personal narrative! I was in the same position a few months back deciding between fashion and a traditional mathematic career path. I just completed my first semester at a fashion school and I couldn't be any happier! I am so happy you chose your passion❤
Wow I am so happy you chose your passion too!!! It makes me so happy to see other people following their dreams❤️
This made me tear up a little bit. You have fantastic parents who love you very much.
I'm so glad you're sharing your story❤️❤️❤️💜. I love your tutorials in general you made me get more serious with my studies in fashion design and now I'm currently doing my last year of college . Thank you so much! ❤️❤️💜
Aw thank you for the kind words and for the support :))
@@KianaBonollo 🥺🥺💜💜❤️
I really needed this, thank you so much. PLEASE make a video about your portfolio !!!
I'm glad it helped:) and will do!!
Thank you for this video!!! Congratulations for making the good choice☺️☺️☺️
Aww you’re welcome and thank YOU!
I am a highschool junior right now any I am so glad I found this video because it opened my eyes that there are people who actually follow their dreams and does what they are passionate about. I feel so much pressure from society to do something grand but anything I chose will be grand if I really love it:)
Thank you for sharing your experience. It's opened my eyes and I can definitely relate to your story. It also brings me a lot of comfort to know that you went to a school in NC since I live in NC too. I'm currently a junior and it's so scary and hard to decide what I want to do. I am expected to go to a college and get a degree in business or something in STEM since I am good with numbers. However, since I was little I have always wanted to be a fashion designer and go to NY for school. I gave up the idea when I started to get older, but now its all coming back to the idea of being a fashion designer. I enjoy sewing and the whole construction process. I just don't know how to tell my parents or if they'll be supportive. Thank you so much for this. (Also I'm a big fan of your work btw)
Hi!! I recently discovered your channel and I absolutely love your content! I really related to this video because I literally had the same thing with AP chem and just being good at it, but after starting college, I hated so much of what I was doing-- currently I'm a senior, and I have shifted towards an MPH, and it's definitely a hard decision that I've struggled over the years to come to terms with, choosing a career path that ISN'T cheme. i'm so glad you were able to make this decision for yourself!!!
I'm so so so glad to hear that you've decided to shift towards a path that you enjoy more:) Thank you for all your kind words Chloe!
thank you! i have been looking for a video like this since i am currently in high school and going into junior year! this week we have started to pick out our electives for next year and i couldn’t decide between science or art ones this video had really helped! also i would love to see a video about your portfolio!
Glad it was helpful:) I promise the portfolio will be coming soon:)
You’re a big inspiration to me!! I studied civil engineer (basically because my family told me to do it because I was good at math 🙄 ), and I did it, I worked in some projects after I graduated… and I didn’t like it 😢 I hate it 🥺 but I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life then… and one day (thanks pandemia) I told my boyfriend I always wanted to learn how to sew, and here I am, trying to learn A LOT and sometimes thinking “what if I could study fashion design ….” . I learn a lot watching you and you inspire me so much, you have no idea 🥺 and I admire you really really bad
I knew that when I subscribed to your channel that I felt a connection. I recently went to university studying chemical engineering, and after 6 months I couldn’t cope. I was absolutely miserable. I also knew deep down that even though I was good at math and science in high school, engineering was not for me. It just become a standard answer when people would ask me about what I’m going to be studying. My parents would tell everyone that I’m going to be a chemical engineer, which just made the pressure that much more real. During that time in university my mental health was at an all time low, I didn’t want to talk to anyone or interact with my family. I was in such a dark place, but during these last few months I have found what my passions are and what makes me happy, even though I am gifted to be good at math and science, I love being creative. Your channel helped me realise this. To me your videos are an inspiration to me. I absolutely love what you do ❤
yeah i get that feeling that you'd want to pick a course that excels in the academic field because if you say you want fashion then they'll laugh at you. 😂 i study HUMSS (Humanities and Social Sciences) atm for Senior High School because I'd want to be a psychologist and now that I started sewing i want to pick Fashion and Design for college. It'll be probably in the next 2 years when I'm already in college but right now I'm certain that this is what I want to pick because this makes me happy. wow thanks for sharing this, I'm really confused right now because none of my peers is into Fashion, but im surrounded with people that support me though. i needed to hear this. thank you so much🙈❤️ (sorry for the long message tho😂)
girl don’t apologize, THANK YOU for the long message❤️ I’m glad this video could help even if only a little. Good luck with your decision Gwyneth!
also - i just want to say it’s totally okay to not know what you wanna do! take classes that look interesting at ur local community college, explore!!
You should make a video about some of your plans after college!!
Your vdo was absolutely perfect for me ...it was quite inspirin and I'm cravin to be in a fashion school ...juz think abt it how cool will it bee...i can't even imagine...
Hi my name is Jada! Also Omg wow this was so good and super helpful!!! I am so glad it all worked out for you :))) the advice was super helpful and inspiring. I am currently trying to major in fashion as well. I’m debating between fashion design or visual merchandising with a minor in special events and coordination in Fashion. Also I would love to see your portfolio and how you went about it. Honestly that’s one of the most struggling part for me right now! Loved your story!!
I'm so glad to hear you are following your dreams in fashion! And I will definitely be putting up a portfolio soon.
Also, a tip for the insecure: you've probably heard of double majors, but you can also double- or even triple-minor in more pragmatic skillsets, which gives you something to go on in or fall back on. As someone who has done precisely that - you can apply for a graduate degree in something you've minored in. (And if you get into a PhD program, they're generally paying you money to focus on school.)
i was really confuse when i was still thinking what i want to do. Then my grandpa who supports me about my artistic side he made a tour on his alma mater, for drafting but i got scared cause i always thought i suck at academic and afraid of math and science 😅😅 literally. Then my grandma was against it and want ne to take up HrM or tourism because it's practical, then my dad who supported me that time also agree to it. So i tried college for a year, since i have no choice and got really depressed and stress, i even left home for a day that my aunt didn't talk to me for a month because of it. I never rebel so that was the 1st time i ever done something bad. Because my dad and i got into a fight i started lossing it because i can't study anymore, my dad throw me out because of one absent, my aunt pick me up and offer me a part time job as an encoder, then i tried bpo so that i can save and get back to school, but since im not a fluent in English it was hard. Now that I've work in bpo for 4½ and it's starting to take toll on me, and i wanted to change career w/c something to do with arts, and i was thinking of Being a tailor, since i took up vocational in dressmaking before and when i was a kid i always like making clothes for my dolls and like to hand sew, i even grow up with another grandma who do tailoring too. But I'm still afraid if it will works out.
I'm 27 and I'm still confuse with my life, and that scares me.
That is exactly how I feel I’m great at math and science but my whole life I have LOVED fashion and I feel embarrassed when people ask what I’m gonna do when I grow up and I have to say I’m gonna be a fashion designer cuz they assume I’m going into a STEM field. I hate that I get embarrassed talking about what I love cuz as the bratz dolls used to say I have a passion for fashion but art majors are as respectable in the eyes of society as a “smart career”
It’s kinda sad how a lot of people in the comments are also having a hard time choosing their careers (to follow your dreams or to follow the money)...
I also had the same case, but I eventually chose a career that will lead me to a “stable” life. Welp, it’s kinda okay but I bet it really feels good to learn something you love to really know about.
Goodluck to all of us 🤗
your headboard looks stunning
Thank you so much for this video I really needed this
You're very welcome:')
Thank you for sharing this! I have always had a huge interest in fashion like you do and I was was debating between business or fashion. I ended up choosing a 4 year college which had both options and I'm finishing up my first quarter, so I'm curious to see how my thoughts will change once my freshman year is over. Your videos have been very inspiring and fun to watch so keep it up 😊😊
Good luck with your choice:) I hope your freshmen year brings you the clarity you need.
what college did you get into? i want to do fashion designing too but i don’t want to go to a fashion school, i want to go to a traditional college but it seems like most of them don’t have a fashion major
Oh my gosh I relate to your experience as well! The main difference is that my parents conditioned me to become a doctor. In highschool everyone was applying to colleges in junior year and I had absolutely no idea what I was going to decide on. I hated when people asked me what I wanted to do because I felt like I would be judged. I applied to school to do something in the medical career but last minute made the switch to do fashion design. Unfortunately, the fashion schools/4 year schools in my location were very pricey. Even with the financial aid I had I wasn't going to be able to afford it. Ultimately I chose to learn fashion design on my own and pursue a major in animation (another love of mine) that way I can fall back on one thing if the other doesn't work out. I wanted to stay true to what I wanted to do. However, I'm aware that it isn't the most conventional career choices but it's what I'm passionate about. I have been experimenting with different things and hope to open an online shop for designs I make. I loved hearing your story!
I AM LITERALLY GOING THROUGH THIS RN OMG WHY AM I CRYING
i want to be a designer but my dad thinks i should be a lawyer🧍🏽
oh no don't cry!!! I'm sorry that you have to struggle with it too:( I wish you the best and hope that whatever major you choose will bring you joy in your life
Pull a reverse Elle Woods?? 🤷♀️🤷♀️😂 (I'm sorry this doesn't actually help but I hope it makes you laugh 🥰)
Thank you for this video, I just graduated in Australia and am in the same boat of deciding between something I love and the 'practical' choice. I was wondering if you knew much of other roles and jobs you can get in the fashion industry that isn't specifically designing? Schools don't really educate you in career pathways for fashion, so if you knew anything that would be great!
Sure! With my particular degree, I feel like I could apply to jobs as a fashion designer, textile designer, technical designer, technical illustrator, fashion illustrator, sewing technician, trend forecaster, pattern maker, etc. On the more business fashion side you could become a visual merchandiser, sourcing agent, buyer, production manager, stylist, blogger, etc.
@@KianaBonollo thank you so much! I really appreciate it :)
Just a reminder, especially to those struggling to make a decision, that a lot of fashion does require maths and science (i.e. patterning) so don't sell yourself short and tell yourself you can't do fashion/design because "I'm good at maths and science so I have to go into engineering/medicine/etc." 🥰🥰🥰
The STEM guilt is real... Glad to hear I'm not alone in this ;)
That's so rude that your friend laughed. It is smart to keep your aspirations to yourself. what a good lesson to learn.
OMG you represent me so much! I absolutely love fashion, creating pieces, sewing since very young. Guess what? I was also kind of good in science and long story short, I went to pharmacy school. My dream is still to be a fashion designer 😍
I relate to the bedsheet part the most-
This reminds me of an ex of mine. He’s a biomechanical engineer and he loves his job, but he’s an amazing guitarist and I know he would have been happier being a guitarist in a band given the chance, but he thought it wouldn’t make him money. It sucks because I remember him always telling me he hated going to work and his engineering coworkers were so quiet and shy and never made conversation (a stereotype of engineers that was unfortunately true for his company). Had he pursued guitar or music as a major he would have probably joined a band and been with outgoing and fun people that he preferred to be around daily.
8:40 omg that hit me 🙈
thank u for this really
Thank you this helped alot
You’re welcome❤️
This video was super helpful and literally what I’m going through right now. I am a junior and take ap classes, have had straight a’s my whole highschool career and have no idea what I want to be. I am leaning towards fashion design and have been wanting it for a long time but I’m also doubting if that’s actually a right for me. I’m so confused.
Hi Betsy! I'm sorry you have to deal with this tough decision :( I wish you clarity and that you enjoy whatever career path you choose.
Amazing❤
hi, so for Fashion Business Management program(if you know), did you need to make a portfolio, and if so what did you put. And also since FIT is a 2-year school what do you do after?
i'm going into my junior year of highschool and i cannot, for the life of me, decide whether or not i want to go into fashion. i really love fashion, I'm extremely interested in it, and have been told that i supposedly have "the mind of a designer", but i'm not sure if i have what it takes to be one. i'm also considering being an english major, but once again, it's not very stable and idk if i really have what it takes. though being an english major could eventually lead into being a fashion journalist. help.
Do we usually wear trot bags in fashion school
@kiana BonolloDon't be hurt when your friend laughed while u said u wanna study fashion cause they don't know how awesom n cool it is to study fashion...it is our own lik to study whatever we wanna .
I felt the same way! I was good at math and science so I did pre med, not because I wanted to but because my family told me to. I knew it wasn’t for me the first year and I felt awful. I had to beg my parents to let me move majors. I was always interested in the arts but my parents never wanted me to do that. So I am doing a double major on political science and criminal justice in order to be a lawyer. I don’t know if this is right for me but some times I wish I followed my passion.
Heyy i love to study fashion but i don't know whether i can earn enough for my living ..but the only thing i love to do n study is fashion...what can i do..is it good for me to attend fashion school..
Ik this video is old but hopefully you could respond . Im going thru the same thing .. I’m a senior in Highschool I’ve always loveddddd fashion since 3rd grade and I’ve started to love styling like pairing outfits together and stuff I really enjoy it . Do you HAVE to know how to sew and sketch in order to major in fashion design . Because I would like to become a successful fashion director/ stylist / personal shopper
This is my same dilemma currently. I'm like, should I do sustainable engineering because it pays a lot and would help me reach my life goal or should I do anthropology because it genuinely interests me.
For context, I really very much want to live on a plot of land somewhere with a small house I built out of sustainable materials and a small organic farm and be somewhat away from capitalist society. If I ever did need money I would use my sewing and woodworking skills to make stuff and extra crops to sell for money. But I know that in order to do that I need money to pay for the land and the building materials for the house. Sustainable engineering or something of the like would allow me to make a lot of money and learn things that I could apply to build my sustainable dream home/land. But engineering isn't something I like very much. I'm good at math but that doesn't mean I want to pursue a career in something related to it. I'm pretty good at non-chemistry science, but I hate it.
I'm currently a junior, and even though I am one of the top students in my grade I'm thinking about going to a community college because it would allow me to explore my interests, whether that'd be in Textiles, Anthropology, Carpentry/Woodworking, or Sustainable Construction/Engineering/Agriculture.
just discoverd your channel because im into doing my own clothes. i live in Brazil, high school is kinda different, we have three years and now in 2021 im going to the 2nd of 3 years of high school (cause school starts in february) and my family really wants me to go into med school cause i will be stable and i have many relatives that are in health area. but im passionate about journalism, writing my own stories, but this is not appreciated in Brazil and im going to be hungry and poor. im thinking about marketing and advertising or internacional relations. i don't know what i want to do my whole life because im 15, i don't want to choose that, it is a big decision to make, and all my possible majors (journalism, ir, marketing) don't relate with one another. thanks for this video, it gave me perspective. (sorry about my bad english, i live in a country that speaks portuguese and is a completely different language)
Very impressive 👍
❤️❤️❤️
I have always been creative too but I had the same fears so I got my masters degree in accounting because every said it’s practical and I’ll always be employed and now I’m applying to fashion school and I feel like I’ve wasted time to enjoy my life
I'm so glad you are sharing your story🥺
I don't know what I wanna be, like I can choose Economy but what would that do to me?
I'm kinda interested in fashion so maybe a fashion stylist would be fun, but as you said no one is going to take me serously
Idk :/
Don't worry about it doesn't matter what anyone thinks as long as it's your dream and it makes you happy.
Just do you! 💜💜❤️
The thing I've learned is that it does NOT matter what anyone else thinks. It will never matter, because you are in control of your life. And as I've progressed through college and had achievements people have taken me more seriously.
Wait people ectually tell you that once you go to college that's the job you'll be doing for the rest of your life? That's such an immense pressure to put on a child. You're telling them that if they make a 'bad' decision they'll have to live with it for the rest of their life.
Really glad your parents encouraged you to choose happiness!
my parents are not supportive at all, please suggest me what can I do?
❤❤❤❤
american universities confuse me so much ..."changing majors" sounds both baffling and the best thing ever. We go into uni 100% decided on which course we are studying. You apply to that specific course and stay put :') Sometimes you can switch to something related (ie biomed to biosci, or chem to chem engineer) in the first few weeks but after a month...you're stuck.
My parents have been the meanest people in the world regarding my education. I would have killed my body if someone hadn't helped me. Still, I haven't gotten out of that shit.
I wish I watched this a year ago
What are you doing now?
