The Reality Of Life After School...
10:25 Share

Life after high school. It's truly a breath of fresh air. And I would say there's five different phases of life after school. And it's kind of like you're slowly but surely easing your way into adulthood. If you enjoy the content around here, consider subscribing. I'm trying to hit a million subs by the end of the year. Without further ado, let's just get into the video. So let's start with phase one, the first taste of freedom. There truly is no better feeling than finally getting your diploma and getting the hell out of there. After

all the years that you spent in the school system, you are finally free from the shackles. Unless you go to college. Then you've got even more school to put up with. No more 6 a.m. wake-ups. No more Olympic-level sprint to catch the bus every morning. It's all over. But for whatever reason, people are crying at graduation, talking about how they don't want to leave. Then I had to sit through a bunch of...

The missing child is Lucia Blix, nine years old. Please, let her come back home safely. Thursdays. The kidnappers plundered meticulously. If money is what it takes to get her back, we're going to pay it. The secrets they hide. You can't talk about this. You can't write about it. Are the clues. The mother's hiding something, I know it. To find her. Tell me where she is. The Stolen Girl. New episodes Thursdays. Stream on Hulu.

Emotional speeches as well, but no offense to those people. But dude, I just wanted to go home. I was just super excited to leave and to never go there again. In the moment I got home from my graduation, my family was there ready to throw me a party and me and the duck were turning up at the duck. Hello residents graduation party.

And being done with that shit really felt like a figment of my imagination. I thought to myself, there is no possible way this shit's actually over. It just feels way too good to be true. And then over the summer, all the dopamine finally hit me. I'm like, no f***ing way I'm free. This is insane. But by the time August rolled around, I thought to myself, oh shit, I got caught.

college in a month. But in reality, I wasn't really ready to go to college. I didn't know what I wanted to do yet. I wanted to explore my options more and see how this YouTube thing does. In college, I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do, so I just feel like I got forced into it. When I got to my college, I didn't really like it, to be honest with you. So that's why in phase two, you need to decide what you want to do. Think of a clear path for yourself. Take a gap year from college if you really have to. Really understand what it is that you like to do.

That doesn't mean do jack shit for years on end. That means don't go into 100k in debt and pick a major that you don't even like. What is the point of that? Because now you're stuck doing this bullshit you don't even want to do. You got to remember that your ass is clocking in for 40 hours of the week, sometimes more honestly. So you got to remember, you really got to enjoy what you do. But you also have to be able to put food on the table.

It's really important to have a balance between those two. And well, because of that, yeah, I dropped out of college a year ago. I just didn't like it there and I felt like I was just wasting my money. A lot of people are like, "Oh, college is a must. You have to go to college." "Or you're gonna be homeless for the rest of your life." I don't know what the deal with that is, but you can definitely be successful without college. There's a bunch of other things that you could do. You can learn how to do a trade, you could start your own business. And I don't know why it's such a big rush either to go to college.

And if that's what you want to do, by all means, do it. Don't do it just because your parents are pushing you to go to college right this second. If you're dead set on what you want to do already, absolutely go for it. And if you don't want to go to college, or at least you don't want to go to college right now, don't be afraid to explore other options. Hell, you could just get a job right out of school if you really want to. And just stack bread right out of high school instead of jumping into college with zero money. And I was really nervous about all this. And then by the time my junior year started, I would have had to declare

Exima isn't always obvious, but it's real. And so is the relief from Evglyss.

After an initial dosing phase of 16 weeks, about 4 in 10 people taking EBCLS achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin. And most of those people maintained skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing. EBCLS, Lebrechizumab LBKZ, a 250 milligram per 2 milliliter injection, is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, that is not well controlled with

prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies. Ebglus can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to Ebglus. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with Ebglus. Before starting Ebglus, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. Searching for real relief? Ask your doctor about Ebglus and visit ebglus.lily.com or call 1-800-LILY-RX or 1-800-545-5979.

College experience. A lot of people choose to go to college just for the experience. They want to live it up, go to parties, do all that. And that's great, man, do you? But you got to remember, you have to pay all that tuition by time it's over. Don't get me wrong. I had some fun experiences in college, but

I just didn't think it was worth the price tag. And that just wasn't the direction I wanted to take my career. So to me, it just didn't feel worth it. And ultimately, that's up for you to decide if college is worth the money. And it all depends on what direction you really see yourself going in. Even though you are an adult when you leave high school, I still was not treated like one in college. They basically treated my college like a high school. They would get mad when people would check their phones, when people would have mishaps,

More than two absences. Are you kidding me? So when they would have a third absence, their entire grade would tank. No, I'm not kidding. And this makes zero sense to me because we're the ones paying for this shit. We're the ones taking out an arm and a leg to pay for this. Why on God's green earth?

Do we have an attendance policy? Now once you decide what path you're taking right out of high school, now you gotta get used to adult responsibilities. And I've said this in videos dozens of times now, it would've been nice, instead of teaching us bullshit in school, maybe how to do adult things? Like for example, how to fix a tire? How to build credit? I don't wanna find out years later that I'm not gonna get accepted to buy a house because...

Ooh, yeah, buddy, your credit score's a bit on the low side. Yeah, so my dad told me, look, to prevent that bullshit from happening, you gotta start building credit now. When I was 19 or 20 years old, I got my very first credit card. And ever since, I've been buying shit on it for business stuff, and I've been paid for at the end of the month. Now, on top of bills, okay, there's a whole other host of responsibilities you've gotta take care of the moment you enter adulthood. First of all, you gotta learn how to cook.

Which, yeah, I really still don't know how to cook. If you give me access to using an oven, I am most definitely burning the kitchen down. Then you just got your day-to-day cleaning and housekeeping shit like laundry, vacuuming your room, and even sometimes I have trouble staying on top of shit like that. So I would end up with

piles of clothes on my hamper, a bunch of coffee mugs on my desk. Sometimes I'll get carried away with work or something else, and I'll forget to do basic shit like clean my room or do my laundry. And of course, by the way, we can't forget, the IRS is going to be knocking at your door, but nah, that's your responsibility. You got to figure out how much you owe the IRS. They're not going to tell you. You just got to figure it out yourself. This episode is brought to you by State Farm.

Big Balls just dropped. Get Blue Balls this season now.

They're expecting that amount of money from you on April 15th, the day I'm recording this. You know what, guys? I'm just going to evade my taxes this year. I'm done. Okay, Jesus Christ. I was joking. Oh my. And the worst adult responsibility of them all.

Hello? Yeah, is this Bertie Duckolo? Uh, yeah, why? You missed the last few months rent and, uh, you're getting evicted now, so, uh, goodbye. And that's why every time when a YouTuber drops a video, everyone comments, Bro, the rent was due. And when that happens, the bills are not gonna be kind. I'm gonna have to pump out more school videos to pay the rent, bro. It's getting ridiculous out here. Phase 4 of life after school. Living with people.

Whether you have roommates in college or you have roommates in an apartment. So you gotta find roommates that you really can cooperate with. Because you gotta put up with their shit every day, pretty much. Luckily, in college, I was able to pick to room with my brother. Otherwise, I would have been stuck with three random people. But I was in the room with my brother, a friend, and then, yeah, one random person. And the living experience there wasn't the worst thing in the world. Apart from the college bathrooms. They were fantastic.

And disgusting. And there was definitely some awkward moments for sure. Because we didn't have our own space. Like I said in my roommates video. And it's not their fault by any means. It's just awkward as hell living with people. When they don't have their own rooms. I am somebody that needs my own room. I cannot share a bedroom with somebody.

But if I have to, it is what it is. And sometimes people have a lot of trouble getting along with the people they live with. Just because shit just gets so much more complicated when you're sharing a space. Like if you're sharing an apartment and your roommate leaves food on the floor or some shit, and the floor is just a complete mess, obviously it's going to piss off somebody who likes a clean space. Somebody's up at like 3 in the morning yelling at the top of their lungs while playing, I don't know, some game or...

to say Marvel rivals, for example, and you have to work at six in the morning. So if you live together, you kind of have to have the same type of lifestyle. And hey, if that's really how you're going to live, scream at the top of your lungs and play games at three in the morning, you know what? Sure. I mean, who is there to stop you? Or well, maybe a noise complaint. Or if this dude just eats all the food in the fridge and you're left with nothing but a goddamn packet of ramen, obviously that's going to piss you off.

There's no reason for you to get snubbed out of your eats like that. That's crazy. Like, if your roommate can clean five burgers back-to-back like DJ Khaled, you might want to hide your food, okay? That's all I'm going to say. Okay.

If you end up in a situation like this where your roommate and there's some kind of conflicting issue that's starting to, like, piss you off a little bit, do not start beef over it.

That's like the dumbest thing you can do. Because then the problem doesn't get solved. It's just a bunch of screaming matches back and forth. What you should do is settle that job like adults and just talk it out. Otherwise, it's not gonna get solved. Phase five. You begin to provide for yourself. You started that business or you finished college. Whatever the case may be. Or if you're really feeling like it at the moment, you could have a family. And for me, honestly, bro...

I'm like 10 years away from that shit, okay? We are not even close. You finally landed that job. You are no longer unemployed. Those days are over. And you absolutely fucking killed this interview in cold blood. It was just over from the beginning. But if you get a job that pays the bills, you like it,

it man just lock in but some people end up hating their job and they are stuck doing some bullshit that they don't want to do but yet they're at the point where they're like 100k in debt so they kind of have to stick it out they don't have a choice if you got a degree in marketing for an example and now you don't even want to do marketing you're like you know what this stupid ass marketing shit i'm done and then you decide you want to be a teacher then you have to go back to school for that that's why it's really important to know what you're going to college for and if you'd totally be okay with doing this for life

No pressure. It's just the rest of your life on the line. But I've heard stories from my professors tell me that they've gone through multiple arcs where they had some job that they hated and then they fell in love with teaching and they were on multiple arcs in their life. And my professor told the class that this arc lasted him like

10 years. And that was the day I realized how important it was to enjoy what I do. And one day I will provide for family. I want to keep the duck a low bloodline going. Children are expensive, man. In order for the duck a low bloodline to continue. Okay. I'm gonna have to put some serious cheese down. That's a whole other mouth to feed right there. I better like what I'm doing. Jesus Christ. I'm gonna have to pump out 50 school videos at that point.

But yeah, getting married, having a family, shit, that's like ways away from me, dude. But yeah, man, moral of the video, just do you, man. Life is what you make it. And everybody's got their own path in life. And some people move at different paces. But some people discover new hobbies when they're an adult. And some of these hobbies are weird as hell. So I'll watch the video about hobbies on the end screen. Just click on it.
