Same here. Straight up went to working full time in the government after graduating, then enrolled to grad school. It was exhausting and.... expensive. I didn't get to explore and be genuinely happy of what I am doing. Now that I have took a break in grad school, I felt so comforted and relieved. I was able to travel and meet new people. Taking a break this year was the best decision I have made! I became a happy adult! You can do it Linh! and you can too, Ena! My master thesis awaits on me next year but I gotta enjoy this year! haha

She is actually so brave for doing this! Most people(including myself) don't have the nerve to say "my mental health comes first"! You are amazing girl!

@@CozySage so why perpetuate it @_@ gap year = dropping out. dropping out is you don't finish your degree and continue your education. gap year is a break from school before you complete your education

Ah, the eldest child burden. Somehow, that burden gets heavier when that child is a girl. Being an eldest child of an Asian family myself, I feel you Linh. Self care is very very important to avoid resenting your family and the people you're taking care of. Enjoy your gap year!

Hi Linh 👋🏽🌈I know how important school is to you so I want to applaud you on your decision as I can imagine it was a difficult one for you to make. it’s so sweet hearing about your family and brother and your intention behind it all 🫶🏽✨sending you all my love 💕

I feel like she’s just using the shock factor of “college drop out” in elite higher education as a sort of click bait. She’s definitely perpetuating some “drop out” stigma in the process which doesn’t sit completely right with me…

​@@crftieph Nothing at all. People should do what is best for them regarding stepping away from college or continuing to take courses. However, there is an unfortunate and untrue stigma (especially in elite academia) that choosing to leave college or "dropping out" is a bad thing or a failure.

Hey Linh, it's very awesome you are taking a break and able to graduate on time! However, I wouldn't say “dropping out of college/college dropout” because that would mean you are permanently leaving the institution and that's a completely separate path then what youre doing. Just think it's a bit misleading to say is all But aside from that I hope your gap year goes well!

I think she is aware of this, she just decided to stick to the confusion anyways. “Dropping out” was only mentioned at the beginning of the video, after the advert, she mainly spoke of “taking a gap year” I am surprised that lihn is now chasing clout on KZread with deliberately misleading title.

Took a gap semester and honestly, the gap is so worth it. I wish I could’ve done a full year but even with just that little semester I know I wouldn’t have been able to finish college without it. Here’s to you and future ventures!

As someone who is also Vietnamese American the emotions were felt through the screen. SENDING YOU A BIG HUG!!! EXCITED TO SEE WHATS NEXT ;))) REMEMBER TO BE KIND TO YOURSELF and BREATH!!

I've always been a firm believer in gap years and finding ways to save money while going through school - GOOD FOR YOU! Thank you for opening up and sharing with us all, Linh! You got this.

CRAZY SCREAMING AND INTENSE EMOTIONS

hi linh, i also took a gap year…two actually. i needed time to focus on my mental health, and now i’m better and back in school. it was definitely worth it! such a great experience of self-discovery and betterment. good luck on your journey, and i hope you find what you are looking for! ✨✨✨✨

so im four years behind you in school- so you're going into junior year of college, im going into junior year of high school. ive followed along your journey ever since my 8th grade year, and ive seen so many changes in our lives that have paralleled one another. my biggest fear was that i would never be able to take care of the ones i love doing what im passionate about- music. but you have inspired me so deeply, pursuing art and making your own business. as an 8th grader, all i cared about was how cool your clothes were and all of your cool prints you had on your wall. now, i see you as an inspiration to hopefully be able to follow in your footsteps and be able to make it on my own. thank you for being a role model i can't wait to see where you go next.

A gap year changed my life! When you have open time to sit with life rather than be rushed through it, it opens up a whole new perspective. Best of luck :)

I already loved you personalitywise but hearing all of the things you plan to do for your family I have nothing but the greatest respect for you.. you are such an amazing person and I am so happy to be able to follow your journey

I graduated from college a year ago (your vids kept me so positive for senior year during a pandemic omg 😭) and have been working for abt 7 months and I can say you ABSOLUTELY need to take this time for yourself now. I was super hyper competitive and driven in college like you, but it has been reallly tough to make that transition to the professional world. At this age, we need time to focus on what our core values and beliefs and self is/are in order to navigate the world. I really launched into the working world without that, and it’s been a rough go. But now I’m working to find that core self now, and I hope you will too!! We will have an incredible summer ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

I'm so happy you're taking things at your own pace! (Also, respectfully, a gap year is not the same as dropping out.)

As a person who's well into her late 20s and still problematic af, I actually find it very insane how life's so difficult but you still manage to work around it. it's seriously impossible to not be so amazed by you. I hope you have a wonderful gap year and more success in the near future

Linh!! I just want to say thank you. As a low-income, first generation student about to enter her second year of college as a transfer I felt so seen by everything you were saying. I have been having so much anxiety with this process but feeling like I’m not alone in this roller coaster of academia and life makes me feel seen. I wish you luck and success on your gap year! I will be here supporting🙆🏽‍♀️💕

Someone with your wisdom and understanding of sacrifice is SO noble and SO rare. I love your positivity and drive. Keep it going!!

I can safely say that taking a gap year was the BEST thing I could ever do for my mental health, my wallet and my future! Not only do i feel 10x better about returning but I feel so well nourished, grown and excited to return. I feel like I avoided the crazy amount of burnout I would've caused if I just kept trekking through without taking a break to figure out who I am and what I really want. So excited for you!!

Thanks for normalising taking a gap year, and also super proud of you for knowing what you want to do!

i’m so happy and proud of u linh!!! cannot wait to see you grow even more 🥹🫶

Girl I'm so proud of you! Knowing what you want to do and making the decision is just so brave, I wish I have the courage too🥲 Excited for your next chapter!

I’m so happy to see that you’re taking time out for yourself and your dreams/goals. It takes a lot of bravery to go against the expected/norm

So happy that you’re prioritizing what you need and want in life, college will always be there! I can’t wait to also watch you lean more into your creative side and take a break after what has certainly been an unprecedented college experience for most!

I am so happy you’re sharing this I wished I would known how to express myself to my parents when I was in college because now I’ve graduated and I feel so burnt out even after a year. I think you’re making the right decision 💜💜

You seemed like you were REALLY struggling last year especially the most recent term. I’m glad you’re taking a second to breathe! You’re definitely not the first to take a break mid way through

Thank you for being vulnerable with us Linh. I've been watching your channel since you were in high school and I'm so proud of your success. Keep up the amazing work and I appreciate you so much

So happy for you and thank you for letting us follow this next chapter in your life! I'm finally at stage in my career where I'm able to support my parents, its challenging and I try not to let it burden me. Take care and continue to advocate for your self and your own joy whilst trying to support your family. Wishing you all the best!

I’m so proud of how far you’ve come, Linh! Here’s to this next chapter. I can’t wait to see what you’ll get up to next 💕

I’m so incredibly proud of you linh! For choosing what’s best for you, for staying true to your values, for being so vulnerable with your audience, for putting out such amazing creative work and everything else really. ❤ I can’t wait to see what comes next and to continue to learn and grow with you as I have been doing since your earliest videos that a friend introduced me to. Lots to love, cami 💕

i’ve never commented on your videos before, but I just felt like I had to express my gratitude. you’re such an inspiration to me, and i taking this gap year for yourself to grow and do what you want to do is just what you deserve

Excited to see all the amazing things you do for your small business and in general what you end up exploring in this time!!!

Linh you're doing absolutely amazing and I'm so happy you've made this decision for yourself. I only found your channel last year but I've loved seeing how you've grown and become the person you are. I'm a firm believer in taking your time to find yourself and allow yourself a chance to heal when things get rough, so seeing you decide to take a step back from college to do just that is amazing. I hope you enjoy your gap year and I look forward to seeing whatever you share with us throughout it 💖

i'm so fascinated by how mature linh is right now like i remember subscribing to this channel in 2018 and seeing her growing into this mindful young lady is so inspiring! i'm up to seeing where this goes from now! wish you the best❤️

girl yes!! as a college student and asian american i totally feel how much courage it must have taken to dedicate this time for yourself and exploring less (conventionally) stable pursuits 💛

as someone who is graduating this year after taking a gap year, i hope you take this time to rest and find out a lot about yourself! you absolutely deserve this time off and the decision to take the time off probably wasn't easy. so i'm very proud!

taking a 6-month "gap year" last year was one of my most favorite experiences. looking back at it a year later I feel nostalgic at the personal & professional growth I was able to make and I honestly miss having all the time to plan whatever I want. wishing you THE BEST linh!!! love you & your content, I'm so excited to be consuming it all (not you... just the content haha)

this was really inspiring linh, it was really amazing to see you open up about your struggles and how much you want to support your family. all the best in your gap year!

Hey Linh, you made me cry, almost. Goodluck on your gap year! Wishing you all the best

So excited for you!! That’s always such a tough decision to make, but tremendously proud of you for doing it and putting yourself first when for so long it’s been about others. Growing up, being an adult, and being a *mature* adult takes a lot of time and energy so wishing you luck ˙ᵕ˙ I’m looking forward to what you do and wishing you the best ♡

i'm happy for you! you deserve to rest and find other sources of hapiness and balance outside of uni, i'm looking forward to your new content

I love how you worded experiencing life in a different way. We as a society always speak of romanizing your life traveling loving being spontaneous doing what ever you want. When there are plenty of people who can’t do that and don’t have that option. You can enjoy your life in all it forms that it comes in wether ideal or totally in unexpected.

Honestly, if I didn’t grow up such a high pressured environment where graduating in the least amount of years was so idolized and turned into a competition, I think I would’ve been able to make more sensible decisions for my future!
