College is not for everyone, but remember, some of the most successful people never went to college. Continue to pray that God will reveal the direction for your life. By the way, when I say that college isn’t for everyone, I say that as someone with a Ph.D. Go oats!
So true!

WOW A Ph.D. 😳😳 BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH!
@Faith Hurley I know many people who have left the college experience and earn more money than I do. Best wishes in all your future endeavors.
@Faith Hurley I don’t think so. It is always good to have a vision for your life, but equally important to allow God to direct your talents so that you can become the best version of yourself.
You’ve got your whole life to figure it out. I’m graduating in my 50s!🙂
YESSS
I am a firm believer in taking your time to figure out what to do. For me personally I'm going to college right after high-school because I feel that's what I need and I'm going for something I love. Many people I know are taking gap year to figure out what they want which I admire so much. I'm happy for you that you were brave enough to drop out and do what makes you feel the best. Someone can be just as successful or more without going to college.
Thank you so much Joanna!! I can't wait to see what's in store for the future!
Trace, your video is so relatable. I dropped out of college two years ago for the same reasons as you, I hated the routine, it killed my creativity. And it was the best decision of my life. My dad had the same reaction as yours xD. I don't have it all figured out yet, I don't know how I'll reach my goals yet, but like you, I believe life is all about experiences, trying new things out, making mistakes, learning from them. My creativity has been insane since I dropped out. College definitely isn't for everyone. Wish you the best, and I'm subscribing to help you get to 100k!
Something I've had to learn is that you have to learn to live your best life in whatever way feels right for you. You should feel so proud of yourself for realizing what works for you! Life is one crazy journey of figuring out yourself, and you are on that track now!
YES YES YES
Keep putting God first, and things always fall into place Trace! Love your recipes!

THANK YOU VALERIA!!
OMG TRACE I literally just made the decision to drop out earlier this week😳 I have those exact same feeling about college and I’m glad someone else feels the way I do!! Also SHROMMY IS AWESOME
czcams.com/video/3FvKzSBSQcc/video.html ❤
HAHAH THATS CRAZY!!
Glad to have crossed paths with you once or twice on campus! College isn't the path for everyone, and I'm super stoked to see where life takes you next, Trace! 🔥🔥
Miss you already! Im proud of you for knowing what is best for you. I'll never forget you, Trace!
DAWGGGGGG THANKS BROTHER
The part right in the middle of this video where you said you felt like you lost creativity and felt like a watered down version of you’re self, YES! Yes yes yes. That is exactly my feelings right now. I decided not to continue with transferring after getting my associates because of this feeling. I’m so excited and scared for this new part of my journey. Thank you for putting this experience into words! You’re gonna do great.
That's good for you Trace! I also dropped out of college 10 years ago and it's wasn't my decision it's was my mom telling me if I wanted continue going to college, and I wasn't expecting for her to tell me, I couldn't answer her because I was in shocked and yeah it's just happened like that. But then later I realized that'd it was a great idea for me and my family was not happy, I was hoping for a positive responding but none. Especially my brother he pushing me to go back to college and I think he doesn't understand that college is not for everyone. God has other plans for all of us and he gave me a plan before my dad passed away a plan that I been keeping as a secret for nine years and I just finally told my mom about it (she was shocked and crying). Anyway I'm so happy myself but now I feel like wants to go back again and when I saw your video I couldn't believe that you dropped out again it's the best decision you ever made Trace!!
Wow, you are amazing Catalina!! You have been put through a lot of trials, but you have great joy about it all! GOD IS SO GOOD
@@tracesoatsYes Trace!! GOD IS AWESOME!!
My younger son just dropped out off college, that’s why I’m on your channel. My 3 year college student oldest son is taking semester off. God help me🙏🏽
where is he now and what's he doing now
My oldest son will graduate this year. And my youngest son is working on and off, but registered in trade school/ community college to pick up some classes. God’s will 🙏🏽❤️
@@EB-dm9fw oh ok but the jobs in trade school are very dangerous jobs and those working in trades are probably paid less than those who graduated from college
I agree, but until he really knows what he wants in life, we want him to gain some kind of knowledge. ( by the way he is advanced in Math) he finished high school Math while he was in 11 grade. He wants to open up a business or be his own boss. That much I know. He hates the routine of working for some companies and not getting the freedom he wants. We just pray he finds his passion…🙏🏽 Thank you for responding 🙏🏽💕
@@EB-dm9fw If he's really this good at math he shouldn't have dropped out and continue his degree if his degree was a math related degree
aww what a sweet grandma
It's a lot of fun to watch your videos, Trace. I was very close with your parents in high school. I spent many nights over at your mother's house, chatting and laughing. I practically lived there at certain points. So many good memories at your dad's house too! Sending everyone there a lot of love. Running around in a green field with your dogs seems like an amazing substitute for college. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely postpone college and would skip it altogether if that was where life led. Wishing you all the best and I am subscribed and watching and learning!
I’m glad you discovered it wasn’t for you early on. I went through 4 years (I had 1 year left before graduation) before I discovered I hated it and dropped out.
Hahaha that's dope! I hope you enjoy what you're doing now Andrew!!
Best of luck!!!! I’m in the middle where I took a year off before going to college. It took my mom off guard at first but she felt better once I explained I was tired, BUTTT still wanted to work towards something (just not now lol) Now I’m loving my classes and feel motivated as to what’s next :^)
Eeeeeeekkkk ..keeping grinding on that resume. Once you get to your thirties, it’s gonna hit harddd
Depends on what you do. A degree doesn't automatically show your worth.
Love that you bring up the Lord in your content !!! It’s amazing giving glory to Him for your success!!! God bless
dude, I got you!
Last year I was in the second year of high school and in April I changed schools because mine was teaching poorly. At the end of the year my mental health was a mess and my parents realized that studies didn't matter if I wasn't with the one I really loved by my side. This year I went back to my old school and I couldn't be happier, and thats okayyyy!!! catch you dreams, peacee
Good for you for following your dreams! More recipes for us. Fully support this decision :)
I feel like all dads have that same ringtone loll 2:53
Shrommy is AWESOME! Good luck with whatever comes next for you Trace! Keep up the good work :)
Thanks so much ALEXA!!!
College doesn't care about students' mental health. That's why courses are so hard and students, including me, don't understand what they're learning. Because that's the case, I'm planning on dropping out of college
Trace is goals
Shrommy is awesome. Also one idea if you’d be interested- my brother also dropped out of college after the first semester. The next year he went to YWAM DTS in Maui and it’s one of the best experiences he’s ever had. You do three months of training and then three months of outreach in smaller teams (each team goes to a different country). He has also made some incredible friends there and learned a lot about the Lord. I think it’s the perfect balance between not having any structure and having so much structure you dont have time to be yourself. From what he said it’s a ton of fun and there’s lots of shenanigans. There are tons of Dts through YWAM but some of them aren’t very good and can be corrupt, so just make sure it’s a good one. The Maui one was a good one. There are also some based on hobbies, like, there’s a theater dts, a cowboy dts, an art DTS, and they basically just incorporate those things into your relationship with God and spreading his word
YES!! I heard about YWAM that is sick wow thank you Lily! I need to look into it more
i believe in you!
I agree with you that college is not everyone but it’s mainly a thing where you putting yourself in debt but honestly I would suggest you should stay in college to get a good education and it good lead you to a high paying job!!
Very true!!
I needed this.
Hi, I'm 19 and I really want to drop out tbh I will I just don't know when. This is the lowest I've ever been, unfortunately college is not the way I learn, all jobs in India hire people with a degree. I have recently completed my certification in digital marketing and e-commerce by Google so I'm hoping to get a job so I can drop out. If anyone is reading this I'm looking for a job with 300$ a month salary and 6 hours of working hours a day, 5 days a week. If any of you are interested in hiring me as a digital marketer or social media manager or any other role, I am open and available. Thank you Trace for posting this video. I don't know why people take dropping out in a negative way. You really expressed it right why some people want to drop out. A word from you would help. Thank you ❤️
I liked the party of your no graduation at the end 🎉. A learnt so much tho you.
Your Shronny is an honest legend
Respect!
thank you!!
Shrommy is awesome♥️
Shrommy is awesome! ❤
Omg! Your grandmother was very beautiful cause she is still sooooo beautiful. Please share her younger photo
Guys a legend
Good luck. I started following u now.
LETS GOOOO
You have to find the best path for YOU. Prayers to find whatever God calls you to. It’s NOT an emergency, God’s timing is perfect. Wait on Him.
THANK YO SO SO MUCH 😁😁
also, your dad seems amazing
Im starting college this september and to be honest im forced to go cause of my parents so if i dont like it im just gonna drop out
shrommy is awesome
you lucky u have a grandma
College is toxic my parents said I can't I never cared about it and I had a passion for the internet
In my first year and I’m miserable as fuck. But I don’t know what tf im gonna do if i drop out. I’m straight A’s and I’m being told to wait it out a bit but I don’t think I wanna do that.
sammeee i need this videoo thank you so much
Unless you got kicked out, failed on purpose, or are a bum, it’s okay to drop out-idk why being a dropout is such a stigma in the South. But nevertheless, you already have a career as an influencer and are snagging those sponsorships so is avoiding college debt such a bad thing 🤷🏻♀️.
Agreed! and thank you so much!!!!
It's a stigma for many parents out there man.
I feel you for real.
If you drop out of college where are you now and what are you doing now?
LET’S GO TRACE
YES CAKE MAN
SHROMMY IS AWSOME!!!
That's inspiring.
Shrommy is awesome!
If you don’t mind me asking how were you lonely? You were surrounded by so man new people
I love SHROMMY
Shout out Shroomy she’s awesome
Now I want to drop out of University
What's the plan now? Are you working and such?
I was going to college also I regret going since I really was only going for my parents college isn’t for anyone and you def don’t need to go to have a good life
SHROMMY IS AWESOME
Good for you bro
THANKS!
Shroomy is EPIC
HAHHAHA
you're a smart smart being. colleges are pretty much indoctrination centres now. i dropped out of grad school last year. you have a bright future ahead, i'm sure of it!
I dont follow your religion or I dont believe concept of god. But anyhow thanks to god he has saved you.
I wish this is your best achievement in your life.
I feel same as you. I am in university ( In my country we dont call universities as college. Simply college is school here) and After I completing advanced level and enter university, I didnt got the life I was expected in my childhood, specially the life what others told me I will receive ( like my parents, teachers and former university students). So I am hopeless and with broken expectations. I is mentally and socially really so hard to face thing reality although I am an adult (only for age)
Shrommy is awesomeeeee
Shrommy is awesome :)
But college as a young adults life is actually not fun because freedom is more responsibilities

What program were you trying to go for?
I was thinking about majoring in CEI or communications!
@@tracesoats Oh wow, well I am too happy for you as well.
what were you majoring in?
I was just getting my Gen Eds done but I was thinking about majoring in CEI
It definitely sounds like you made the right decision for yourself. Most importantly, through this experience, you grew in the Lord. It often takes difficult times in life to help us rely on Him the way we need to. That's where He can shine the most.
"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness." James 1:2-3 ESV
"Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." Romans 5:3-5 ESV
