Hey boys and girls with the positive feedback from the last story type video
I did I reckon you know, why not do it again, but with a stupid doodle of me to make things more fun
I'm going to be honest. I did enjoy these I know I'm sorry. Let me show you what happens when I try to draw
Yeah, never let me do that again
Oh, and before we start the title of the video may seem like I was a total dunce in school
But wait until I tell you the full story. I didn't drop out twice Oh being like Mario
He was for completely different reasons, but first we're gonna need to go back in time
School the place where all kids go to repent those sins for playing too many video games. Yeah
I'm pretty sure all in the same boat in that school the total chore to do
I mean, the only memories I have is doing dumb things with friends any other memories just pain I
Mean forgetful and I'm 99% positive. I've forgotten everything of what but hey you don't need masses when you're doing this
Throughout my high school life. I was pretty much the same as I am now
But maybe 50% small and maybe 50% fatter
I was shy I didn't want to get in trouble. But my mom was super strict on wanting me to have a bright future
So there's a lot of studying. Yep before I get into specifics
I need to apologize to my american fans because their school system confuses me surely it doesn't have the whole
Elementary school middle school and high school system. It's pretty much only elementary and high school. It's really weird
But I have a solution for everyone that'll make things easier to understand
we're going to categorize my early years of school as the really hot junior stage of my school life and everything else after that is
The salty spitoon stage of my life easy to understand great early years of school is like a free holiday
No use go and throw your bag on the ground start eating glue sure this homework and show-and-tell
Well, you could show a stick in the class with a pause. It's so be easy
I'm jealous of how easy you was back then at the same time
It's where you face big Charles for the first time on the first day of school
For example, Kevin who was in the same school as me and in a much older grade
He was looking after me
they had this whole body system where an older student could pair and look after a
kindergartner and Kevin just happened to be my buddy and when it came to Kevin having to leave me to go to class and I'm
All alone by myself with a bunch of strangers. I would feel like Tom Hanks in the movie castaways Wow
Filled like he was never coming back
so even back then I need a Kevin to hide behind my fear of change and socializing also affected me not making any friends nor
Participating in any sport. So my weenie hot Junior days were very uneventful
I mean, I remember throwing one of those tech deck skateboards up to someone's head accidentally
Well, yeah, I pretty much sums up my early school life
I drew a penis on the whiteboard high school or the salty spitoon stage of my life. The stage would begin
When I think of transition to high school or this stage of school, I think of a happy kid all ready to go
Sold down here for me anybody and then he kicks the kid off a cliff homework gets multiplied by six
Everyone turns into bog holes and you're just staring at the clock going. Come on, let it end, please
Obviously school expenses depend on what kind of school to go to
I attended a boys-only school and they were pretty strict with bullying in univille if you had an untucked shirt
It's off to the Shadow Realm for you
Of course, no school can escape its fair share of fights or just plain rowdy students. Luckily for me
I found friends that would put up with my crap
Now that I think about it everyone in my cohort can seem to know me in a friendly sense
You know, I made a lot of dumb jokes. I didn't piss anyone off
I just paid attention in class or everyone else displayed the flash games at the back of class for some reason
I was so well-known in my cohort that I got a nickname squidge why they'll squid because the witch in my last name?
But which ago?
grinded squidge
So my name unofficially became Luke, let's wiggle or squidge. I don't know why people generally liked me it's strange really regardless
I wasn't good at all the classes, but my mom was really pushing for good grades
So I tried my hardest and all the subjects so I don't waste too much time. I'll put on screen what subjects I did
Enjoy. Oh, yeah. I also learn Italian
But I think a lot more Italian for Meijer than I did from school
For yeah, so on top of schoolwork, can you imagine doing videos as well?
My weekly schedule subtle looked like this school school school school names made school school school, whereas nowadays my schedule sort of looks like this
Man you guys have no idea how annoying it is when people keep asking about yours channel at school
You guys know how many times my friends kept yelling at me?
Videos
Anyway, even with all these memes to make I was still able to do school normally
I actually never missed an upload either
the only time I miss an upload was if I had exams you guys know the
Extent of how the system I am get this I never missed a single day of high school not a single one
That's wait seven to twelve six years of not missing a single day of school. Oh, man
I remember going in sick to school because I didn't want to break my streak
Jesus I am a dumbass, but hey at least the school gave me an award for it
I remember people coming up to me and saying you really haven't missed a day and I was like what that's not normal
I swear I'm not an alien guys
This persistence really did help me for my final exams Australia, or at least my state paints doing these final exams as a parcel. Dye
Situation it scares all the students and makes them think it's the apocalypse when it's really not regardless
I studied super hard in this small room
I was in the back of our parents house except imagine all this furniture, wasn't it?
It was just a grungy dark but angular box, but it's also where I got 1 million subs, so
Eventually all that hell was over and I got a good score going into college, but now in 2017
you know I said he was doing well and Kevin and I were teasing to do a little for
That would eventually become marijuana our original animated series
I'm now attending a pretty nifty University studying media arts. I don't even know what that meant
But every other course in the college had like zero things I was interested in and this particular one mentioned the word animation games
Somewhere in there. I saw I went with it and oh boy
it was a nightmare for me not because of the school or people but because it was
Nothing that I wanted to do. We studied film culture of online multimedia, but it was all essays and research
If it's one thing I hate doing it's writing essays
Look, I'm not a very bright, dude
But I enjoy doing practical things like making visual content and 98% of my degree had none of that
Great, and even if there was stuff like video making effective work, I felt like I was going nowhere
It's all these pointless odd exercises where you're meant to express how I feel. I don't wanna make cool things goddammit. Not this
College also forces you to take different classes with different students
So it's very hard to befriend people when they just disappear until you have the class again in like three weeks
The only way to actually make friends. It's a joint Club, you know Luke and his lack of wanting to socialize
Oh you Luke so it became pretty lonely too which didn't help but there was a silver lining in all of this
What is it?
well
There was a small course that offered to teach actual animation
And it was here where I got into a glimpse of this magical art form
I wasn't really doing any animation honest and evil and marijuana was still being planned
So it was old new to me and I enjoyed it every bit of it
It's the feeling of bringing something to life that made me enjoy doing animation
Hey if I can make a ball look like throughout the fall in love with another ball, then that's amazing later on
I was working on an SMG for video the ultimate Smash Bros
Which is a great music video we made so you should definitely check it out
I was working on this video at the time, but then it hit me
What if I applied what I was learning with animation to smg4?
I mean I had this animation tool in gmod it had these things for keyframed, which is what I used in animation class
That man that video went on to be the first video with animation shortly after it
I fully used the potential of this with the video if Maya was in splatoon
It was a big reason why Maggie's animated all the time. I really wanted to challenge myself and I was having a blast with it
Alas, this didn't help with the amount of boring ass crap. I had to do with the rest of my university degree
I almost missed out on our first trip to eat food because of uni exams and if I hadn't gone we wouldn't have met so
many wonderful people over there my brother Kevin really saw the disco 10
I was having with university, but he knew the joy I had when I was learning animation
He then asked me a very important question. Would you want to do this as a career?
If you guys have ever seen the matrix where the doodahs Keanu Reeves you want the blue pill or the red pill?
Yeah, that's how I felt and I answered yes to that question
It was a big decision
But Kevin knew that I would never even consider this because my parents always viewed me as having a more academic job
And I won't be way too afraid to ask but he went ahead anyway, and it was a tough battle
But he managed to convince him that master Reggie
so anyway
That's when I dropped out of university only half a semester into my first term
When I went straight to this art college where I learnt 3d art modeling sexually and all that jazz, and it was great
All practical learning and barely any writing I learnt and entered an industry that I didn't know
I would come to love at the time. I met and made friends plenty of like-minded people
It also helped me greatly when it came to making marijuana speaking of that
It was already in the middle of production at the time and I was deep into helping the art team with stuff
So I was pretty busy living three lives of a meme Lord AK wave director and an art student
It was when we got to major group forest in the middle of the first year when I realized wait
I'm already doing a major group project called marijuana
I should spend my time on stuff that's actually going to mean something and it also means more time with smg4
Who doesn't like that and so I dropped out?
again
And I've only ever been working on YouTube stuff ever since
You know, it's funny that almost every story I hear from someone who's in university is that they hate their degree
but they have to do it because they already put years into doing it or they just chose a degree because they didn't know what
To do and they just want to live, you know
The student lives so they can just not focus on anything and just chill that stuff can easily be avoided if people aim to go
Towards something they actually want to do from the very beginning
I'm extremely lucky and appreciative to have YouTube in you guys you all give me a clear goal to work towards and
motivation to improve
I'm also very grateful to Kevin and my family who are very understanding in what I do and what I want to achieve
If I hadn't followed what I wanted, I probably still be doing boring ass essays and have less time to do YouTube
I definitely want to be where I am today and saying all of this don't copy what I did
I had a very specific set of circumstances around me with YouTube and whatnot
So don't straight up building a parents and ask to drop out or whatever
Just keep in mind what you enjoy or want to do now?
It may be use that passion to train but to open up new paths later down the line and if you do want to shift
Towards something else then take a long hard look at the facts before you make a decision
Remember only you get to decide what do you think is the correct answer?
But I hope you learned something out of this stupid little video and with that. Thanks for watching guys
Let me know what you think of the stories and the doodles. See ya
