My Final Daily Vlog. 030110

[vitahippo]

I ran into this video by searching "withdraw from a course". I am currently dropping a class.. it's really painful.. However, thanks for your sentences. You shared a value that one has to make the best decision when the one has too. Or saying, this could possibly make the one's life easier. Again, thanks for your truthful sharing.

[danrobbo1000]

Well done mate

[SharksVLogs]

Pause the video at 0:01 - hilarious face!

[MarioOrtegaLares]

you stoped doing this on my birthday yeah "happy birthday mario!" yeah right :P

[Treza143]

I'll miss ur daily vlogs but i understand. I wish you the best. :) ♥ ya

[Toro2008571]

Hi there from Mallorca, Spani. I do understand your point of view and it is 100% correct. Instead of doing so many videos you better relax a bit, recover your grades and post a video when you KNOW you have time to do it. I´me new at your channel but you are one of my best subscriptions. Keep it up and cheer up. We all know this is not your end line!!!!!! Best of luck for you Ben and hope we will be able to see you soon!!!!!

[UnculturedProject]

I think you're making the right decision Ben. Not everyone is wise enough to have the academic priorities that you've decided to make :)

[BeHeardKD]

School is #1! I understand. :) I hope that things get better for you.

[rbrown2697]

I think you have your priorities right in line, Ben. School definitely comes first. Best of luck!

[gateofsunrise]

I did not mean to sound harsh. We all get tired. Take a break, continue to do your videos every now and then, you owe that to yourself, to prove to yourself and others you can get up and do. I'm sorry for calling you a flake. You are burned out is all. Those studies are important, and need complete concentration. The rest will follow when you are back on your feet again.

[rollercoasterbarbie]

I really understand why your doing this but it makes me kinda sad... :'( i kno ur not going away forever but ur daily vlogs were like having a convo with u every day so this is kinda sad for me but i really get why u are stopping and i hope your grades go up and you get that degree! hopefully you will post something soon.. :'( (Will miss you)

[FFEEZZProductions]

you really are one of my favorite vloggers and i subscribed when i saw that you were doing daily vlogs(i never saw ur videos before January 1st) but you DEFINITELY have a good justification to stop the daily vlogs.

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

That makes me happy to hear :)

I'm not leaving, just on hiatus :)

[Reubnick]

I know this feeling completely. I've spent almost four years shoveling all of my spare effort and time into youtube, and when I get down to it, I really don't know why. You have much more to show for it than I do, even. Of course, I just can't quit for some reason. It's pretty much my one and only hobby.

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

It's a definite timesuck, that's for sure.... just don't know what it is that is so alluring. But I'm not gone, just on break....

I don't think I could ever quit. Weird.

[eminalien]

I feel you man focus on whats important.

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

I'm going to - but I'll still be here :)

[PlasmaDude47]

Ben it's ok to take a break from making videos, and bring your grades back up and take some time for yourself as well as school. A daily vlog wasn't necessary even thought it was cool!

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

It really WAS fun. But like you said, not necessary. I'll be here lurking though ;)

[PlasmaDude47]

Cool hope you drop by and comment once in awhile:)

[ChrisVenturaRandom]

NO BEN!!! damn you! If you stop then I STOP!!! ....maybe not. but I dunerstand buddy----grades first (and this DOES take alot of time! I dont know if I should 5 star or 1 star. Ill give 5 stars but you leaving = 1 star!! lol

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

LOL Don't stop! (believin'....) Srsly tho I'm not leaving, I'm just taking time off.

I'll be back soon enough ;)

And five stars, damnit!

[kittykittykatkat85]

I've been there, done that, and know what you're going through.

Good luck with the school work, you'll do great, and don't worry about the negative people. :)

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

I don't worry about them. And I'll be back soon!

[BounceBananaCS]

A big shame! ... We always enjoyed your daily Vlogs!! Kudos for the effort! Understandable though!

Grtz! Dennis and Tom

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

Thanks you two! And also thank you for all of the support you've given me since way back when TubeTown was started. You've given me a load of encouragement and inspiration, and for that I'm forever thankful. :]

[BounceBananaCS]

Hey; we thank YOU!! Haha... you're very welcome!

Just keep in touch when you can :-D

Grtz! Dennis

[WonderingMinde55]

I dont hink your quiting your doing what you have to and thats only fair we can monopoliz your time its not fair for you hope to see you again soon , your videos are offten the higlighs of my day and will see you soon :) <3

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

Exactly. I hope people who watch know that I'm not quitting - I'm just on hiatus so to speak.

Thanks for the kind words!!

[onlyiknow1]

I think we all understand bro! Grades are 100% more important or you might end up looking down at an application in the future with a blank job and education history! I think some ppl forget that but I know your head is in the right place. Plus you don't want to end up like me.....you know.....always messing up my IDEAS.....HAHAHAHA

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

I think I may just end up saying ideals from now on. All the cool ids are doing it :D

Plus even if I quit YouTube all-together (which I'm not) you would still be able to track me down on Twitter and Skype! OMG You're a STALKER!! :O

[xxchelseeea]

Completely understand, you have my support 110%. If you need anyone to be your personal cheerleader and help motivate you with school and need study tips, hit me up!!! <3

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

Thanks Chels!! Much, much, much appreciation. :]

[JnAStudios]

Dude, you grades are WAY more important! You're certainly not going to be totally gone and we'll see vids from you again when you can. School comes first though!

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

Exactly! I'm not going anywhere, i just won't be as visible. :]

[Randomnessensues441]

Do what you feel is right :) If you have to take a break, by all means go for it. Go get your degree and rock it. There were many videos that were may favorite but the interactive ones have to be in my top 5. You are making the best decision, and by looking at the comments everyone here supports it. Education comes first, as always.

Rock on. <3

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

I'm SO glad you liked the interactive ones. They take a lot of time and sometimes I wonder if they're worth it, you know?

I'll be seeing you all verrry soon though. :]

[19Becka]

Ben, you made a tough choice, but you made the right choice :) School comes first- no question. Do your best to get back on top of grades and such and we'll see you on here when you can come back! But don't expect me to stop tweeting you ;) <3 <3 <3

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

Thanks for the support Becka. It was a toughie, but it was the right thing to do...

Ah darn! I can't escape you! :P <3

[Angeleyez1930]

Ben i respect ur choice i really do im so glad to get to watch ur vlogs as long as u made them but now get them grades and take a brake ill always be here waiting to ur return love ya!!!! xoxo Jessie

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

THANKS!!! I really appreciate it :]

[swashey]

Good Luck with your education and hope that you manage to pass. We'll hear from you soon =p

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

Hopefully sooner than you think :)

[imdeadindeed]

ah darn, shame ah well, time to move on

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

Don't move on! I'm not leaving entirely... just until I get things straightened out. I expect that my next video will be at the end o next week, or sometime during the week of St. Pattie's day when I'm in Florida with OnlyIKnow1.

:]

[mardee5173]

Your education should come first. I have loved getting to know you a little through your vlogs. I loved the one of you dancing in the rain. Hope you will give us periodic updates on how you are doing. I will miss you.

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

I loved the rain dancing one too!! It was a high moment in this whole thing.

I'll definitely still be here, just not every day. :) <3

[Rocket1232123]

I know exactly how you feel, i tried to do daily blogging, i dont think some people realise how long it takes to make and edit videos and your right, some other things are more important and prioritising them is important, especially when it comes to college grades, i am in my degree year at the moment and i just dont have the time to do videos.

You are making a good decision.

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

I hope it's a good decision...

I'll be back soon though. Thanks for all the support as of late :]

[MegaFreakingAwesome]

Ben, your totally awesomeicated. If you do stop your vids, you HAVE to get that degree man. :P I epicly support your decision and wish u luck.

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

I think awesomeicated should be in the dictionary, but that's just me. ;)

Thanks for the support - I'll be back soon!

[gateofsunrise]

There are many people who watch your videos. Were I a future employer, I would ask myself, would he give more than expected to me? Can he do things for others in the community without getting payed?Your lack of conviction and staying power is to me flaking out, and I simply would not hire you, degree or no degree. Can't is not an option in the real world, only success is. Get the degree, and don't flake out on earning it.

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

I honestly don't see this as being a flake. I see this as being responsible enough to know my limitations and being able to tell you guys straight-up. A flake would just leave and never come back. Does that make sense?

I hope you'll stay with me - I'm not gone forever, just for a little bit. :]

[Libratarot]

Dude, go do what you have to do, we will be here when you walk across that stage. bi-monthly updates or maybe trips you take with the school.

Love ya, and go get those grades :D

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

I'm going to go get 'em. :]

Just think - with more time between vlogs now they'll be even BETTER!! :D (I hope....!)

[DanoLostTheGame]

You've been an inspiration Ben and I wish you luck in the future; Focusing on education is a great step to future greatness and I know you'll go places;

I've been a youtube 'voyeur' for a few years now, but you're the reason I wanted to get into making videos (In fact I even bought a new camcorder today)

Your enthusiasm and dedication for the community will not be forgotten and we all hope to see your face again soon!

I trust you'll be flooded with responses and tribute videos! we'll miss you!

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

Ha! I dunno about tribute videos, but the responses have definitely shown me that there's support here for me, and that's amazing.

I'll be back soon though. I'm not leaving entirely. And I'm so, so, so happy that you're going to start posting content. We can never have too many people who make videos. :]

Crap. I just lost the game. THANKS A LOT!! :P

[TheCreativeJournal]

maybe you should just do one vlog a week...one the weekend?

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

It might be a once a week thing, but as of right now I'm just focusing on my studies. That's numero uno. :]

[Aslinnn]

Awwh :[ I hope your grades get better soon, and you can still vlog, even if it's not everyday!

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

I will DEFINITELY be vlogging still, just not daily. It was incredible while it lasted though.

It's not the last of me ;)

[LovrPeace]

we respect ur decisions and ur computer breaking down is still my favorite vlog. u deserve the break and good luck with ur studies. =]

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

LOL I'm glad someone got some enjoyment from my broken Macbook! haha :]

Thanks for the luck!

[sibigkid1234]

im with you grades first hate to see you go but ill always be a fan good luck

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

I'll be back sooner than you think ;)

[dustinrocks08]

I support you for your decision i love you ben <33333

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

Thanks dude!

[BboySkyline]

scad is tough man

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

Don't we know it... Gosh.

Thanks dude.

[LockDown2341]

I only subscribed you maybe, two days ago, after I watched a video of yours with hints on ho to VLog. I like your stuff. It's too bad to hear that your grades are falling but you're doing the right thing. A few years ago I found myself embroiled in a different hobby while I was in college and I spent too much time on it. Ended up failing 2 courses that semester. So good job biting the problem in the ass. Best of luck.

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

I'm sorry for leaving right after you subbed! I'll be back though - and yeah, the failing is exactly what I'm trying to avoid now. This break is much, much needed. But I'll be back soon!

[RIPTRIPPER]

good decision ,,,you will be back ,im sure ,,,,a good preparation ,makes a good finish ,,,your life long ,that is!!!and all your life you will be challenged in this tech world, thats for sure ,so you got be think in long terms ,,,5+ cheers

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

I will be back! Don't worry :]

[KickingWithBrandon]

I still need to make the interactive video.i been busy but ill do it by this week and post the video response!. Dont stress to hard or dont be to hard on your self your a good person. Have a nice time taking a break and hope you get back soon!

-Kickingwithbrandon Dailyvlogs

OBVIOUSLY! :]

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

I'll be back sooner than you realize ;) Obviously!

[KickingWithBrandon]

I understand! im doing a daily vlog. its not affecting my grades yet but i might when i get more videos out its going to be taking most of my day editing and stuff. I understand but everyone eventually needs a break off the internet!

But i loved the internet so i cant live without it. Education is the most important thing so dont let that affect anything. Im just in highschool so i dont have to try as hard but i still have to try.

Thanks Ben for making it 2 months you had a great vlog-- CONT

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

Education really is the priority - I just didn't know it until now.

[XforeverlongingX]

no problem ben you rule no matter what you're a smart person so just focus on your grades a little more and do a little better. dont be so hard on yourself you're a good guy and a nice person. you'll get where u want to be. just treat ben well :)... OBVIOUSLY!

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

Thanks so much. I'll be back soon.

[Domingo0022]

Well Ben. I really enjoyed your videos and If you need a break, then it's understandable. I did that too and I hope your grades get better!

You have my support always

-Domingo

[ObviouslyBenHughes]

They'll improve, and I'll keep posting sporadically. :]
