Have you thought about doing a University (or is it college over in canada?) degree in something like media? I've gone to a lot of open days over here in the UK and it sounds like it opens a lot of doors for you! =) Not only do you get a degree out of it but there is also a lot of opportunities while you are studying the course like getting a work placement in the second year, working on the college/uni radio, making your own tv productions etc. It's awesome! =D
Hang in there, you're not alone. I know what you are feeling all too well. I'm 23, just graduated in May from UNB, and this is the biggest dilemma people our age are dealing with. My job ends in February, and hopefully I can find some job in Fredericton to pay my loans off. The hardest thing is trying to find that perfect job that you have all that potential for, that you KNOW you could do well and love; but just have to realize... gotta walk through the shit first to get where you're going.
thank you for verbalizing my feelings andrew. i like u feel stuck in a slump in this life at the moment, a routine existance with no sence of purpose but i hope for the best as u do :). i hope to figure out an idea of what i want to do in life besides work at chipotle and establish myself in something,,,thank u for the videos they always make my day. :)
andrew, keep your head up, you have so many people that support and love you! ohhh, and thank you sooo much for using angel and i in your ending segment:D good luck with everything:)
I'd just like to say, that every time you upload a video you literally make thousands of people smile and laugh with you. You're a warm-hearted guy and incredibly talented, and I know that you're future holds great and wonderful things for you. "Happiness is a journey, not a destination" - Paul H Dunn
sometimes i just get the impression that your life is just one awesome event after another.........which is fun to watch but hard to relate to. im in a similar situation, im 23, 36 hours flight away from my family, living on my ownand i have no idea what im going to do with my self.
sometimes i wish some sort of lightning bolt of clarity would hit me so i could suddenly know exactly what to do.
These are merely a test of your will, Andrew. You've set out to be your own person and there are challenges that come along with that. Just remember you've always got support in whatever you do. Your journey has only begun, and you will rewarded for your patience and determination. We believe in you, Mr. Bravener. Don't give up!
sayings are only corny because they have been said so many times that they are 100% true. I had to catch up a little bit with videos this week, but many of the ones i have watched were very heartfelt and intriguingly inspirational. Keep at it. You're dad's right just go for it.
I know exactly how you feel... EXACTLY. You and I both hope things change :[ Going to college, no idea what I'm doing, dead-end job... But I'm sure things have to get better. In time.
andreeeewww. you are so talented and have soooo much potential. you're real and honest and you have so many people that love you. you're going places. biiiig places. just wait it out. it'll happen. you're too amazing for it not to.
This is my last year of high school and I know this isn't going to help by saying it, but I think that many of my fears are the things you're talking about right now that after I graduate college I'm not going to know what to do and just be lost and by myself. But I don't know, knowing other people feel like that...well it doesn't make me feel 'better' persay, but it's nice to relate.
Just like everyone else, I know exactly how you feel but in a way, you coming out and saying how you feel kinda helps me because I'm gonna say to you exactly what I need to hear right now as well, if that makes sense. Even when it feels like things are impossible and out of your reach and your a million miles away from where you and your dreams want to be, really you could be being pushed right directly in them. You just need to keep with that positive attitude and be patient.
I know how you feel. My husband couldn't find a job for a really long time. Then finally got a job and we had to move and he hates the job. So now we are away from our families and he's looking for a job again. But I believe that everything is going to work out just the way God wants it too...for you and for us. You're in my prayers Andrew! <3
You will make it through Andrew! :) My dad killed himself over a month ago and eventually things start look up again. I'm feeling God back in my life now and there's an actual smile on my face :) I'm gonna pray for you that you get everything you want! You deserve it! <3
"Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance." - Romans 5:3-4
Andrew, we're not promised that times will always be good, but the Good thing is God never gives us problems we can't overcome! :D I'm always praying for you, and just please HANG IN THERE! :D
“You've got to go to where they're making the thing that you like & work there in any capacity. (Even if you have to stand there & volunteer or hold a cable) Go to where the thing that moves you or gets you excited and try to get close to it! (I knew when I was at SNL I was *close*) If you have something to offer, someone’s gonna see it.” – Conan O’Brien “You have to have some ability, then you have to have the will, the work ethic; how badly do you want it?”
I know it doesnt help to say that we love love you, but we all really REALLY do. we can see the real you and how full of potential and amazingness you are. its really sad that sometimes other people dont give you a chance to branch out and show them what you've got but i think somethings coming for you just around the corner. you cant give up yet! i just got laid off too and it sucks! but its not a reflection on you. just keep being yourself and making people happy! you'll get a chance :) <3
I would hug you right now if I could. I know this is just the internet and youtube and every one is just virtual friends but we all like you just how you are and you are awesome! :D
Andrew....you're not alone...my BF graduated from U of T almost 3 years ago and STILL has no job.....think about that........a degree from one of the best universities in Canada and still no job........the job market is ridiculous and it's also hard to figure out exactly what to be doing. Don't fret....you'll get there in time <3
You're right. You have so much potential, and when the time is right, you'll get to use your talents to the best of your ability. There is a reason that you're experiencing this. There's a reason you're feeling this way, and when it happens, it'll feel a million times better knowing that you waited.
Good things will come to you, Andrew. You're a super good guy and a hard worker. You definitely have the potential for great things. My fingers will be crossed for ya. =)
Andrew, all of us subscribers know you have so much potential and we know you're really talented and have so much to offer. I'm on the same boat as you, 20 years old, graduated college, 11 hours from home and no job. I know you don't want to hear about my life, I just want you to know you're not the only one. Even though times are tough lately, I still truly believe everything happens for a reason, and you just need to be patient before you find that perfect job and true happiness.
Honestly Andrew I feel the same way I also live in toronto and im 21 I've worked at the same retail job for 3 and a half years and even though I'm still in school I feel stuck if that makes sense but as you were saying I'm looking positive at the situation because we are still young
You just have to stay positive Andrew; I know tons of people are telling you that but it's honestly what you have to do. Just try living day by day, not worrying too much about the future. You will get that ~big break that you want in due time. Promise.
Andrew, have you noticed when people are sincere in their comments they write them like letters? Anyway, I've been in that monotonous day mode. What helps me is I look for someone else's life to impact for Christ as much as I can. I don't want to sound cheesy also, but as far as I know you are a Christian. God will put the "YAY!" back in your life, I promise :)
I'll be praying forr yeww and your job situation :D
Andrew, I'm exactly the same - 22 years old and sooo much creativity that i want to contribute to the world but no real opportunities. All the graduates I know are struggling to find work here in the UK. Just keep pushing, don't give up!
I'm 22 as well and in my last year of uni. My family lives in Sweden. I'm incredibly worried about what to do after graduation. Me and a mate want to get a flat and just try to get jobs and work for a year and save money and apply for a better job eventually. But Andrew, we're still young, we've got plenty of time to sort things out. Don't worry too much, everyone has these situations in life at some point :) It will work out, it always does!! :D
I know exactly how u feel. Got a lot of that same type of stuffs going on and it sucks. I've been working super hard trying to be more positive but fell like I've kinda been an angry bitter person which I hate. For me I just have to go and have fun, or do something I really enjoy to focus on that rather than everything thats been going wrong. Like.. not just focus on the positive, but create it. But yea I feel ya and Sends mah Luvs! <3. &u have an amazing future ahead of u, ur to amazing not to!
I think everyone kind of feels like that, like they're wasting thier life away :/ you just need to start noticing the little things though, and when you do you'll realise every day is completely different :)
i've been watching vlog candy for a while now, and omg, i feel exactly how you feel. i just graduated and have all this stuff to do, but i feel so limited. know that you have lots of support.
aw man, god bless ya. have heart have hope. You're just in that weird struggling stage between college.... and finding a job. It's hard but you'll get through it.
gaaah! Andrew I just wanna give you a hug! AND MAN HUGS ARE THE BEST! I wish there was something more I can do besides buying merch though D: Just know that you're an amazingly awesome person and with that charm of yours, I'm sure thing will work out in the end! You just gotta keep at it, even though job hunting sucks major butt.
cheer up Duder!! everyone successful needs a beginning and this is yours. It took me 5 yrs after I finished high school to get my life together and now I can say I'm pretty content with where I am...albeit not Bill Gates successful but I'm satisfied for the time being. I've commented this on your videos before and I'll say it again. You have charisma & potential....build on that. Take life easy and just live it one day at a time. Stuff will happen and you will be surprised :D
I know how you feel, it's taken me a while to figure out what I wanted to do with my life and now I am planning on moving from Saskatoon to Toronto to pursue a career in fashion. It is a big risk but in my mind as long as you are doing something you enjoy life is good.
It all gets better man, you just gotta keep positive.
Andrew, I would hug you to make you feel better if I could. I hope everything picks up for you. I'm looking for a job too, and I know how much of a job job-searching is. Keep on swimming, keep on swimming, and I will too! :)
Andrew, keep your head up. Success isn't something that people just walk into. The thing that makes it most rewarding is fighting the shit storm to get to the success. You have to earn it and you are most definitely on the way there. You have a lot of talent and personality and there are THOUSANDS of people that believe in you.
im in the same situation i just finished university and can not get a job in the field of work i went to university for and because of this i end up working at a crappy job that pays minimum wage just so that i can pay for student loan, its so frusturating when you know you could be working doing something that pays more and that you enjoy,but for some reason life just can't be easy and work out that way.
I also moved out about 5 months ago and live 14 hours away from my family. going from the tiniest town in the middle of the woods to a decent-sized city way down south and struggling with rent has been a total change of pace. so I guess I can relate?
Huge Virtual Hug. I was gonna send you a Good Vibes mix when you had a P.O. Box, but now I can't do that! So I will settle for sending you GOOD VIBES over the internet. <3
I love how you are still able to have a good sense of humour over your situation. I am in the same boat - moved from Winnipeg to Victoria - just working basically to live here and just scraping by. It's a tough climb but I sometimes think it's better that way because you'll 110% appreciate the easy life when you get there. Sink or swim AB... but personally I think you'll Michael Phelps it.
Zubat: a suspiciously suitable Pokemon metaphor for this video.
I'm seriously in pretty much EXACTLY the same situation right now, Andrew. 22, out of university, only getting work in hospitality or retail when I know I've got the potential to do so much more. Like you, I've had freakin' amazing experiences, like getting to travel to Europe for two months to vlog for a travel company. But then it's back to reality and hoping life will actually start to happen the way you want it to...
andrew, i was blocked on vlogcandy and i dont know why. all i want to do is watch the videos, but if im not subscribed i forget...anyway you can help me out? im so confused-im a loyal fan!
I sincerely believe in you, you are a wonderful person, and it's obvious that you have so much to give. Don't lose hope! Your chance will come if you keep working towards it!
AB, you are the one of the only vloggers I can stand. like seriously. I can have your video on in the background and it's not irritating. So why mainstream media have not snatched you up is beyond me...
andrew, you are my favorite youtuber no joke. you have thousands of people supporting you, see positives :)
anyways, my brother is going through the same stuff you are. hes 29, and was recently laid off of his job of 7 years, so he had to move in with me in dc. hes just like you, art degree and tons of potential. times are tough everywhere, and i know you'll find something great to do!
Well I don't have much to say, but as a recent college graduate myself I can say that I'm still hoping for my break in the market and luckily for us, we're still in out early 20's. I have faith that you and I will both make it in our respected fields when the time is right. I don't know what you want to do, I assume entertainment?, but maybe if things in Toronto don't pan out, maybe your calling in entertainment is in a big US market like NYC or LA. Anyways, best of luck!
OMG YOU SHOULD APPLY TO URBAN OUTIFTTERS BECAUSE AT LEAST WHERE I LIVE THEY ARE HIRING! and its still a retail job and all but it can help you bond with all the hipster friends!
I know how you feel. I have 2 jobs and I'm still broke. I would HIGHLY suggest contacting the career centre at Sheridan. They can find opportunities related to your education
Don't worry - the economy is horrible right now; once it gets better, you'll be able to find another job.
And at least you have ambition! There are millions of people out there who don't have a job or have a job and don't do anything to get to the next level....AMBITION is key! You'll succeed!
Andrew, I love how sincere you are. A lot of people will just complain, but you are actually explaining what's going on in your life. I hope things will work out for you :)
I'm sort of bothered by this because I still think much music owes you one. There's no point in getting worked up about it, but it's just always in the back of my mind whenever you say you're looking for a job. Your break will come soon Andrew! You're worth way more than chapters!
I feel exactly the same way! It's so frustrating because I know I'm capable but no-one will give me a shot. I can't even get a retail job wihout experience. I wish I just had a great idea like the fb guy lol
Also, tbh, I was a bit disappointed when I found out that you had accepted a job at Chapters. Just seemed a bit ridiculous to me that a super talented guy like you should have to work a minimum wage retail job. As bad as this might sound, I'm sort of relieved that it is actually a seasonal position, and that you'll continue your search for something that might better demonstrate all you have to offer. This is a start of something new. =)
I'm the same way about my blogging as you are about vlogging for us. I've tried to hold back on the depressing things because I see no point in spreading the negativity. But I've also realized that life really isn't all sunshine and rainbows, and I should be able to share all sides of me, good or bad, and if my audience really cares, they'd want me to too. So don't feel bad about sharing not-so-happy things with us. I for one, appreciate you showing us that you're a real person.
Aw Andrew. :( This frustrates me, too, because I (and I'm sure everyone else who watches your channel) can see all the potential you have as well. You have so much talent and charisma, and you could do amazing things with your life if you were given a chance. So here's hoping for a chance, and keep your chin up and don't give up! I'm sure something amazing will come along eventually, and when it does, it will be the greatest thing in the world. :) <3
Andrew we're all here for you! It always seems like you get the short end of the stick in these types of situations, but I'm glad you can share stuff like this with your viewers :) hang in there.
I just went on twitter and msgd a bunch of peopl like mtv,dan levey and many more! Just tell me what i can do and ill try my best to help you out cuz for some weird reason i feel like i no you, you no?
Lots of love from a person (among several other) that thinks you will soon find what you're looking for because, let's face it, you're super talented! You made a little difference into my life by making me smile and inspiring me, and I know I'm not the only one. So keep being awesome and the awesomeness of life will come to you (ouh that was deep).
omg i can relate, i graduated high school with the hopes of going to college, BUT im stuck working at a retail store as well. ive been trying to put my self out there with school and all but its tough when youre not a fresh out of school kid. but hey its life hard days come but those good days will arrive just got to have hope. (:
Im going to give you a computer hug right now...did you feel it? it was good eh:)
Andrew Youre amazing and i cant wait to see your face and name everywhere bcuz i no you are going to make it big and even if you dont you have 4,000 people that will always know who you are that says a lot about what an amazing guy you are:D

Chin up Andrew. I'm going through the exact same thing right now. Out of school, dunno what I'm wanna be/gonna do in life. Found a job but quit it because I wasn't happy. Have to find a new job that suits me. I'm not depressed though. I have high hopes for the future and what life has in store. Just keep a positive outlook on life and everything will just gracefully fall into place. Don't let life beat you down. You are so much stronger than that.
hey Andrew, i just want you to know that youre kind of in a place in your life that I would love to be in. Im currently living in Vancouver and going to highschool, but I really want to move to Toronto and go to school. I know that it looks like you cant go very far from where you are, but I know that you have over 4,000 people who are interested in your life, and would love to see you succseed. use this following to your advantage and you are totally going to go places. keep up the awesome!
Don't worry, Andrew. Starting out is always hard, but you're an amazing, talented person, and I know that you'll get your chance soon enough. Just try to stay positive until then. <3
Don't worry! Even though you don't know us by name, or personaly there is still thousands of people who love you! we all wish the best for you, and know you will succed, it may take some time but everything good will! keep your chin up buster :P
you've made me really happy sometimes in the past with your videos and personality, and i wish there was a way to repay you more than a comment, but i to am borke :( just don't give up us Canadians aren't like that ;)
Be patient, in the end you can't control when a chance will come or not but something almost certainly will. Just gotta stick it out and think that your gonna look back at this period and think "what was so bad anyway". Corny as that all was i guess im just saying it will work out
Hey. Hopefully this doesn't get lost amongst the sea of incoming comments. I kinda sorta know how you feel. I'm going through a crappy time in my life too, right now. Keep your head up, and such. There's ALWAYS a light at the end of the tunnel. Anyways, I don't know about you, but I've always found some comfort in venting to random strangers, so if you ever want to spill out your emotions/stress, I wouldn't mind helping you out one bit. Send a message, if you feel like it.
<3 Days are repetitive, then they change, i think. Eventually. Thats how it was for me, too for awhile. Then I met new people, made new friends, and things got better. I really think you have the right attitude, how on this channel you kindof do what you want ("its okay cause i said so") which is a good attitude to have throughout life so i think you're a good person with great intentions and those are the kind of people succeed and and get through it, so you'll be fine dont you worry <3 [:
Oh my gosh! I was so confused the ad next to your video was for Avatar and I didn't noticed it started playing and I was like, "Why would Andrew put in the epic yet slightly drepressing music and the end of his video?" Not going to lie the music made me pretty emotional with you talking about being all down and out. Hope you feel better. I will say a prayer for you. Peace.
To quote Nate Ruess...Be calm. I know you feel like you are breaking down. Oh I know that it gets so hard sometimes, be calm. Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times. You hate your pulse because it still thinks you're alive and everything's wrong; it just gets so hard sometimes. Be calm.
You remind me of my brother right now, who is also struggling to find a job in Chicago, where he's all alone. Just keep that smile on your face - it'll make life easier. :D We all love you oodles x100
im in the saammme boat as you andrew. Feeling the same way. Losing my job after the season. Just waiting for someone to give me a chance to do something better. I guess we just have to be patient.
Im having a really hard time finding a job too. Been looking since May :/ But i just applied to teach saxophone at a music school so hopefully that works out
I know what that feels like. I didn't know what the heck to do after high school so I worked at Old Navy for a year. Not such good times but I got through it.
It's hard when you don't really know where your life is going. BUT you're a smart, talented fella. You'll make it :)
good job on ya video =)

Just like everyone else, I know exactly how you feel but in a way, you coming out and saying how you feel kinda helps me because I'm gonna say to you exactly what I need to hear right now as well, if that makes sense. Even when it feels like things are impossible and out of your reach and your a million miles away from where you and your dreams want to be, really you could be being pushed right directly in them. You just need to keep with that positive attitude and be patient.

This is for you, me, and everyone:
“You've got to go to where they're making the thing that you like & work there in any capacity. (Even if you have to stand there & volunteer or hold a cable) Go to where the thing that moves you or gets you excited and try to get close to it! (I knew when I was at SNL I was *close*) If you have something to offer, someone’s gonna see it.” – Conan O’Brien “You have to have some ability, then you have to have the will, the work ethic; how badly do you want it?”

I know it doesnt help to say that we love love you, but we all really REALLY do. we can see the real you and how full of potential and amazingness you are. its really sad that sometimes other people dont give you a chance to branch out and show them what you've got but i think somethings coming for you just around the corner. you cant give up yet! i just got laid off too and it sucks! but its not a reflection on you. just keep being yourself and making people happy! you'll get a chance :) <3

Andrew....you're not alone...my BF graduated from U of T almost 3 years ago and STILL has no job.....think about that........a degree from one of the best universities in Canada and still no job........the job market is ridiculous and it's also hard to figure out exactly what to be doing. Don't fret....you'll get there in time <3

You're right. You have so much potential, and when the time is right, you'll get to use your talents to the best of your ability. There is a reason that you're experiencing this. There's a reason you're feeling this way, and when it happens, it'll feel a million times better knowing that you waited.

Andrew, all of us subscribers know you have so much potential and we know you're really talented and have so much to offer. I'm on the same boat as you, 20 years old, graduated college, 11 hours from home and no job. I know you don't want to hear about my life, I just want you to know you're not the only one. Even though times are tough lately, I still truly believe everything happens for a reason, and you just need to be patient before you find that perfect job and true happiness.

I have faith that you and I will both make it in our respected fields when the time is right. I don't know what you want to do, I assume entertainment?, but maybe if things in Toronto don't pan out, maybe your calling in entertainment is in a big US market like NYC or LA.

Also, tbh, I was a bit disappointed when I found out that you had accepted a job at Chapters.

As bad as this might sound, I'm sort of relieved that it is actually a seasonal position, and that you'll continue your search for something that might better demonstrate all you have to offer. This is a start of something new. =)

I'm the same way about my blogging as you are about vlogging for us. I've tried to hold back on the depressing things because I see no point in spreading the negativity. But I've also realized that life really isn't all sunshine and rainbows, and I should be able to share all sides of me, good or bad, and if my audience really cares, they'd want me to too. So don't feel bad about sharing not-so-happy things with us. I for one, appreciate you showing us that you're a real person.
