I read The Road for one of my Literature classes and was amazed at how much i really enjoyed the book. The book also help me cope with the passing of my Granny and Pawpaw. I hope you enjoy the book. I would also like to know your thoughts on how the book is written.
Hi guys, how are you all? My name is Robbie. I make a show with my friend Owain and i will really appreciate it if you watch it. If you go on my channel and click comedyowrob episode 25 or search it on the search bar. 25 Is the best so watch that please comment, subscribe and rate too. Thank you so much if you do!
I'm just starting my English degree (i'm all of ten days into it) and it's fun in many ways, but in many ways I wonder if it isn't a bit snobbish. The university seems to have a really solid idea in its mind of which books are good books and then excludes all others. When I want to write fantasy books with my future it's a bit confining.
@SableCaught Literature IS pretty snobbish when it comes to fantasy. I remember when I first started my degree in my first lecture the lecturer made a comment about about LOTR being crap and Tolkein being a medicore writer. Which I thought was a very extreme assumtion to make, I mean much lotr heavily borrows from Bewoulf (a literary masterpiece?) and Tolkeins is probably one of the most innovative writers ever. I think it's pretty narrow minded, but you can't escape it.
Guys can you check out my video , I wrote a song and Ive made this channel for a
test run Its not great quality cos got did it quickly on a shit mic. I already have a youtube channel but i dont sing on it so if this goes ok ill make a video but for now im doing a test lol
I agree with letyourlovegrowtall.. you have the air of someone who is going to live an amazing life about you. So don't get too hung up on whats to come.
Will you make a book video about The Road? Your book videos are always so good, but I've never read the books in them. The Road is a book that I have actually read, so I would be super excited to watch you talk about it.
I graduate in 2 years and I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life. I change my mind every 2 weeks or so. Very few people I know have a clear-cut idea of what they want to do when they graduate.
I think in my country you're even more forced to think about your future career, as you have to make some options going into year 9. However, I think it's always stupid of teachers to ask us what we want to do with our lives and what uni we're going to at FIFTEEN, and giving crap to those who admit they have no idea.
i'm a year behind you in university and i also have no idea what i want to do. things i want to do don't seem to make any money and that's going to be a problem when i have to pay back $40,000+ of student loans....
It's strange, the death of Steve Jobs is the only death that has made me reconsider my life a little bit. I haven't had the misfortune of losing a parent yet, but I'm reminded that I will someday. Steve stood for a lot of things I believe in, and the passion he evoked provided a sense of community that I was sorely lacking as a young man.
Rosianna, I'm glad to hear that you're a Mac user too. I enjoy your videos a lot. Best of luck figuring out what you want to do with your life.
@missxrojas I guess I just don't understand the outpouring of emotion that came with Steve Jobs's death. Was he at the helm of some incredible ideas and inventions? Yes. But he was also human, and not every idea he had was pure gold. All of these "RIP Steve Jobs" statements are like disciples mourning the loss of their god. It's just a bit excessive.
I feel like I have the opposite problem of everyone else. I know exactly what I want to do with my life and because I've had things structured around it, I am wanting to have a period where I just explore other possibilities just for the sake of it. I doubt it will change my mind but I feel like not knowing exactly what will happen and having to explore things makes you a better person.
I'm a junior in high school with no clue about ANYTHING i want to do. i don't even know if I want to go into english vs science or anything like that. i'm clueless. and sometimes it feels like i'm hopeless. :/
would love to hear your thoughts on The Road... it is one I had read while sitting in sunshine about the light and warmth but not one I studied so you'll probably have much more perspective and insight etc
I am going through the exact same thing in my uni. I feel like everyone needs me to have my life together, but I'm still just a kid, and I don't even fully know who I am, let alone what I want to do for the rest of my life.
ahhh that panic attack you had, that will be me in two years :( but I have gotten to the point where I kind of just want to see what happens, not plan too much and see where life takes me. Maybe that is naive and stupid but its the best plan I have(and it sounds gloriously romantic and adventurous ;).
@Bealerrr Its ok... I didn't know what i wanted to study at uni when i was 17 either. And now i'm at uni, i have no idea why i picked to do chemistry! but i like it regardless. So don't panic :)
That lady sure knows how to strike fear into a group of people. Gosh.
I know, I'm a junior in high school and the guidance counselor does the same thing. "Now that your half way through high school, you probably know what you want to do with your life..." I have no idea.
I'm in third year, so I've chosen my subjects for standard grade, but my coursing teacher, who spent both of my meetings trying to get me to take PE in a completely crap column for me, asked me on several occasions what I want to do. I'M FOURTEEN FOR CHRIST'S SAKE. I have approximately a dozen different career paths right now!
I've been getting that, "So you should have a good idea about what you want to do with your life" lecture since freshman year of high school.... :( it truly seems unfair to be made to choose what you want to do with the rest of your life at the age of 14.
When Steve Jobs died, I was shocked. I kept thinking what Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory going to do, who's running it now, everything. I didn't even know that he died until my dad read it on the internet. Later the night he died, of course.

Curious what you'll think of 'The Road' - I'm in the minority on it. I appreciated the tone it set and the high-caliber of writing it took to maintain it, but it just didn't resonate with me.
@Anon83740 Well perhaps that what you see on youtube is only one dimension of a person and you can't judge people from what you see on the internet. Also maybe you shouldn't just automatically put people in a stereotype :D
Why. Do these. Sorts of videos. Have to be edited at the end of. Every sentence as if we? Can not concentrate if you just stood there and spoke like a normal human. Being. It's really fucking. Annoying.
@missxrojas I know this style from some youtubers, and usually have no problem with it. But if you do that cut maybe give it a bit of more break so that it doesnt sound like the word before the cut and the word after are combined with a hickup between them ;-) Just saying.
@t4r0n it's normally because the hesitation before has blended into the next word! nothing I can do when time is short but it's something I do try to do better when I have a couple of hours to record and edit! sorry guyzz!
You certainly aren't alone in not knowing what you want to do as a career/in life, 'm 29 and i still don't have a clue (i'm probably way too late and will end up in the same old job for the rest of my life) great video as always Rosianna.
I'm studying 'The Road' this year for English Lit/Lang A-Level. We haven't started it yet but I would love to read/hear any thoughs you may have on it afterwards. Most people I've talked to so far haven't seemed to enjoyed it that much, though I'm not sure 'enjoy' is the right word for something like that.
People who know exactly what they want to do for the rest of their lives right away are maybe the dullest people you'll ever meet (at least that's what my psychologist tells me :) )
HA. To have everything sorted by the end of your first year. Ha. What planet is she living on? Maybe things are better off in the UK, but I feel as though no one knows what they want to do around here, and if they do know, they can't get a job anyway. And off I go to a coffee shop to write a billion cover letters. LIFE.

When you graduate, you should get in touch with me, I think we could work really well together. I've recently started a company offering 'creative services' which includes: marketing, communications and strategy for the creative sector (copy writing, social media, video, design etc). :)
she was probably just trying to give u lot a jolt.(mind games) In a way she deserves an oscar, for her feigned sincerity. AM sure she knows fine well that most students arent that geared up....or maybe shes just so anally retentive that she had her career planned age 11 ? Not what you need on monday am)
Junior in high school with 0 clue as to where I want to go to college let alone what I want to do for the rest of my life. though i agree, something combining writing and social media and helping other people sounds SPLENDID. :D
Steve Jobs did the first trick in the book of advertising, making you feel like you have a emotional connection and need for a company and its products. Its advertising, Steve wouldn't care about your death or basically slave labour in the 3rd world.
I'm a junior in highschool and on the first day of Health class, my teacher said, "So you guys are juniors in high school. You all should know exactly what you want to do with your life." I just....whaa.....huh......LWLJNV????!?!?!?!?!?
I can honestly say that I always enjoy watching your videos. You're such an intelligent person and I am always interested to hear what you have to say. I think it's normal to feel slightly panicked about the future. I'm 22 and I'm still trying to figure all that out. I don't think you should be too worried though. You have the makings of a great writer and I have no doubt that you will succeed in whatever you set your mind to.
The Road is one of the best books I've ever read. I read it at university and when I had to change rooms to get to other lectures, I had to move across campus and it was snowing and really cold and stuff. So, you get the idea if you read it ;)
I've just read The Road for my first year a uni! It's... quite odd. I get what it was trying to put across (or at least in part, I could be missing the point entirely) but it just seems a bit lazy with its exploration of its own story, if that makes sense. Like it could have done a lot more with its material. The bits other than the road, obviously - there is plenty of road.
I've just started Uni and have no idea at all what I'm going to to at the end of it... I'm dreading having to make those kinds of life and/or career altering decisions some time in the next three or so years.
Thirdyearitis has definitely set in with me. My university's careers diary for this term is spread out over my desk and everything media/journalism related is highlighted, asterisked and underwiggled in gel pens that I bought specially. My sympathies. Thankfully, my lectures this morning were about Indo-European and amusing mistakes in bilingual English-Welsh signs, so at least there's a couple of hours in the day when my unemployability takes a back seat.
Also - I'm really shocked/surprised by your teacher. Many people don't figure out their 'path' until they are MUCH older. The beauty is in the journey and in learning about yourself and the world as you discover what's right and what's not for you. Just stay true to yourself and try not to let things like that get you down.
Glad to know i'm not alone with that panic, i'm only in 9th grade (14-15 years old) but the school already is telling us that we need to pick a major NOW and pick what college we want to go to NOW and it is terrifying.
Yes, I think that is a completely normal feeling, that sense of utter panic concerning what the hell we want to do with our lives. As I get closer and closer to graduation, I find an increasing number of people seem to ask me, "So, what do you want to do?" and to be honest I have a million ideas and sometimes none at all. Sometimes I think I'm too focused on just getting my work done for the week that I've forgotten to look at the bigger picture...
Ah yes that dilemma when someone goes "WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE" and you sit there thinking to yourself "I'm not actually sure there's so much I want to do!" man I hate that :L I'm 19 and still not sure :/
I remember the career lectures we had to do in the second year as part of my degree. It was a bit of a waste of time really. Very few people know what they want to do and those that do aren't sure how to go about it :/
Whenever your videos show up in my subscriptions box it always brightens my day. You always have such interesting views on life and are so very eloquent. So thank you very much. Also, the road is really good.
How many people *really* know what they want to do whilst they're still at uni? What a crazy statement for that lady to open with! P.S "Pootle" = one of my fave words!
You are supposed to figure out what you want to do with your life during Uni and I think most people figure out right before they graduate. Don't listen to your professor, you have plenty time to figure out what you want to do.
I absolutely loved The Road. I would love it if you made some sort of video responding to the book. Or something of the sort, let us know what you thought of it.
you look like keira knightley!

AM sure she knows fine well that most students arent that geared up....or maybe shes just so anally retentive that she had her career planned age 11 ? Not what you need on monday am)

Junior in high school with 0 clue as to where I want to go to college let alone what I want to do for the rest of my life. though i agree, something combining writing and social media and helping other people sounds SPLENDID. :D

Steve Jobs did the first trick in the book of advertising, making you feel like you have a emotional connection and need for a company and its products. Its advertising, Steve wouldn't care about your death or basically slave labour in the 3rd world.

I'm a junior in highschool and on the first day of Health class, my teacher said, "So you guys are juniors in high school. You all should know exactly what you want to do with your life." I just....whaa.....huh......LWLJNV????!?!?!?!?!?

I can honestly say that I always enjoy watching your videos. You're such an intelligent person and I am always interested to hear what you have to say. I think it's normal to feel slightly panicked about the future. I'm 22 and I'm still trying to figure all that out. I don't think you should be too worried though. You have the makings of a great writer and I have no doubt that you will succeed in whatever you set your mind to.

The Road is one of the best books I've ever read. I read it at university and when I had to change rooms to get to other lectures, I had to move across campus and it was snowing and really cold and stuff. So, you get the idea if you read it ;)

Oh, and every time I look at the spine of The Road I read 'Cormac McLaggen'.

I've just read The Road for my first year a uni! It's... quite odd. I get what it was trying to put across (or at least in part, I could be missing the point entirely) but it just seems a bit lazy with its exploration of its own story, if that makes sense. Like it could have done a lot more with its material. The bits other than the road, obviously - there is plenty of road.

It's good to know that it's okay for me to be totally scared and confused about not knowing what I want to do.
I mean, I'm only 17, but still, my father is going on at me about I have to know what I want to do NOW instead of later.
Kinda brings a little bit of hope even 21, 22, 23 years old are still confused over it, even if it probably causes dread in you lot. :D
Also, about Steve Jobs, I personally don't believe he deserves to be remember as well as he was, apparently he was terrible.

I've just started Uni and have no idea at all what I'm going to to at the end of it... I'm dreading having to make those kinds of life and/or career altering decisions some time in the next three or so years.

Thirdyearitis has definitely set in with me. My university's careers diary for this term is spread out over my desk and everything media/journalism related is highlighted, asterisked and underwiggled in gel pens that I bought specially. My sympathies. Thankfully, my lectures this morning were about Indo-European and amusing mistakes in bilingual English-Welsh signs, so at least there's a couple of hours in the day when my unemployability takes a back seat.
Pootling's good, but I tend to potter.

That Tumblr is my new favorite Tumblr.
Also - I'm really shocked/surprised by your teacher. Many people don't figure out their 'path' until they are MUCH older. The beauty is in the journey and in learning about yourself and the world as you discover what's right and what's not for you. Just stay true to yourself and try not to let things like that get you down.

Glad to know i'm not alone with that panic, i'm only in 9th grade (14-15 years old) but the school already is telling us that we need to pick a major NOW and pick what college we want to go to NOW and it is terrifying.

Love me some Cormac McCarthy and The Road is one of his best and is pretty exemplary of his brilliant pared down writing style.

Yes, I think that is a completely normal feeling, that sense of utter panic concerning what the hell we want to do with our lives. As I get closer and closer to graduation, I find an increasing number of people seem to ask me, "So, what do you want to do?" and to be honest I have a million ideas and sometimes none at all. Sometimes I think I'm too focused on just getting my work done for the week that I've forgotten to look at the bigger picture...

Ah yes that dilemma when someone goes "WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE" and you sit there thinking to yourself "I'm not actually sure there's so much I want to do!" man I hate that :L I'm 19 and still not sure :/

I remember the career lectures we had to do in the second year as part of my degree. It was a bit of a waste of time really. Very few people know what they want to do and those that do aren't sure how to go about it :/

Whenever your videos show up in my subscriptions box it always brightens my day. You always have such interesting views on life and are so very eloquent. So thank you very much. Also, the road is really good.

How many people *really* know what they want to do whilst they're still at uni? What a crazy statement for that lady to open with! P.S "Pootle" = one of my fave words!

You are supposed to figure out what you want to do with your life during Uni and I think most people figure out right before they graduate. Don't listen to your professor, you have plenty time to figure out what you want to do.

I absolutely loved The Road. I would love it if you made some sort of video responding to the book. Or something of the sort, let us know what you thought of it.
