Ryan's College Decision + Other Family Q&A

[@daryagohm7]

I love that Ryan has decided to stay in Florida for school but also to go to a different university than Katie and Brennan! Good luck Ryan!!

[@robertscail5289]

Ryan...every step of your journey has been something to celebrate , and where ever life takes you, i'm sure success will follow, ..always remember and take comfort in knowing, you will always have the unconditioal love and support of your family.

[@cynthiagreenhill5283]

So we will have Ryan until next spring. Yippee. Just love him. He's the whole package. Please continue your channel until all of the kids are complete so we can see final results of their young lives. My favorite youtube family.

[@diannegrach6376]

Ryan has grown to be a mature and responsible young man. Mike and Jill must be very proud of him, as well as Brennan and Katie. They are a credit to their parents on the way they were raised. Great job as parents.

[@hilldominique13570]

Congratulations on your college decision Ryan. Super hyped for you. I love how everyone still keeps in touch even if they’re all in different places. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

[@debbielopez6593]

I really enjoyed Mike folding towels and sheets best part ! Congratulations for your amazing Ryan on his graduation and soon you will be empty nesters oh the places you two will go!! Jill and Mike you have raised wonderful children ( young adults) as well as teaching them the importance of faith in their lives. Blessings to you all❤🫶🏼

[@kndy6146]

I’ve grown up with them blessed to see them continue thriving!!

[@rachael196]

Congratulations Ryan! I think its really great that you made your own choice on the college thats right for you. Wishing you all the best!

[@angie965]

Congratulations Ryan!! Hope you got that awesome scholarship! Wishing the Donnellys a fantastic summer! I love your family sense of adventure! Looking forward to what is ahead ☀️

[@lsplatt4492]

My son loved attending USF. He loved the student center and spent a lot of time there. He graduated in 2022 and was hired immediately as a high school teacher in Tampa. My daughter is at FSU, but if it weren't for her boyfriend being at FSU she definitely would have chosen USF. You really can't go wrong choosing to attend a Florida public university. I think both FSU and USF are in the top 25 of public universities in the nation. And super affordable, too. Good luck Ryan! You are going to love USF!

[@LisAnn7]

Jill and Mike congratulations on your children’s accomplishments! Wish you all a blessed summer!

[@ydgmovements]

I don't have kids yet but I'm already feeling the empty nest looking at their family all growing up.

[@NicholasJH96]

I think have been watching your channel since it’s become the Donnellys channel roughly between 2015 & 2017. I’m only 27 until next month & seeing your kids grow up makes me feel older than I actually am. As roughly 2014 I was in my college a FE College not university that’s separate thing. 10 years ago for me. So it’s nice to see people I’ve watched on you tube for years grow up & becoming adults. I hope you keep your channel as well even if it’s less updated.

[@ArgyleNugatory]

i hope ryan follows brennan's and katie's examples: friends, goals, travel, finding a well fitting path to independence and a full adult life. take your dad's advice at 14:40. and your Dad's advice at 1Cor 13:11. swing for the fences, ryan, i know you can knock it out of the park!

[@joelnc1339]

Congratulations to Ryan! Enjoyed the Q&A! Maybe Katie can tell us what her long term goals are sometime as far as career choice! My grandparents had a cat they brought with them to their new house in the same town, but the cat would always go back to the old house every time they brought him to the new place. So, they just might show up in Maryland eventually! I've read similar stories of pets traveling across country back home.

[@Liamshavingfun]

That is nice to hear that you all are still doing the Outer Banks. I love those vlogs. Well I love all of your vlogs! Nice to see how the family has grown up.

[@renee5335]

When I was younger a cat was hanging around our house for weeks and wouldn’t leave so we gave it food and shelter until we took it to the rspca and they found the owner through the cats chip and turned out it was 40 mins away from home and had been missing for 2 and a half years !!!!! They were super grateful and were SO HAPPY

[@ash7eysh14]

Thank for another update video congrats to Ryan I can’t believe they are all going to college. I only began watching a short while ago but it seems they grew up so fast. I enjoy watching your videos glad I found them 💕

[@bradpendley7878]

Congratulations Ryan . Looking forward to a great summer. You guys are always the best part of my day

[@itsthedonnellys]

Awesome! Thank you Brad!!!! PS we love all of the gifts you sent. I am especially loving the lavender lotion these days 😍

[@MDTASHA0926]

Although hard I am glad you did share about the cats. I hope they show up.

[@crazylicious85]

So sorry about the cats. Hoping they find their way home to you all & that they are well loved until then.

[@csparty11]

2 cats gone missing within a few weeks, that's probably not a coincidence, they have a cat hater in their neighborhood.

[@shyqueenslife7560]

@@csparty11 I remember a video a while back when they were talking about how the neighbor was not happy that the cats were on his property, and they kept letting the cats out after that even though they weren’t supposed to in that community.

[@al-jk2ig]

​@@csparty11 there is a cat lover too - gators.

[@Gohappygirl]

@@al-jk2igFlorida doesn’t mean gators ate the cats. There’s at least 30 cats in my neighborhood in Florida

[@al-jk2ig]

@@Gohappygirl doesn't mean one didn't either. As plausible as their neighbour doing something that your original comment implied. No matter what happened to the cats it was irresponsible for them to let the cats out.

[@beltonfields2311]

Congratulations on getting into USF and enjoy your summer. All have a great week

[@drewwhitehead6567]

Sounds like a great summer for everyone. Congratulations 🎊 Ryan on your college decision. Exciting times ahead.

[@HystericalHolly]

Ugh this video is exciting because I’m so proud of Ryan but I’m also terribly sad to hear both kitties went missing. I was not aware they were both gone. Very sad news! Mixed emotions. Sad and happy.

[@jessehusbands1]

Good Luck Ryan. Congratulations all the Graduates 🎓

[@yolandadelazerda207]

God Bless you Ryan,Katie and Brennan! It’s been a real pleasure watching y’all grow from kids to teens and now young adults 😊❤😊❤Jill and Mike Blessings on you both y’all have done a great job! Can’t wait to see what the future holds!! 🎉Again Congratulations on Graduation Ry Guy!!

[@AmyStoneYT]

Congratulations Ryan 🎉 I can’t believe I’ve been a subscriber since the beginning 😮 I sure hope your family keeps making videos as best you can. I cannot imagine hopping on YT and The Donnelly’s not being here ❤

[@twilightsun8109]

Yayy congrats Ryan🎉 at least he can take a little break in the fall but that’s so exciting🎉 So sad about the kitties but I’ll continue praying for them at that they return home❤

[@Ladystorm72]

Dear Donnellys, First of Ryan, Congratulations on graduating High School despite the little mishap while running on the field. What is your major at USF? Safe Travels, have fun, and make new memories. I can't wait to watch the videos!!

[@isaacianstein]

Really proud of you Ryan and your decision for college. Kinda like your doing your own thing yet remaining near to your family near by. All the best! BTW what’s there best in sport? football, basketball, baseball, soccer? I’ll follow the team you suggest from your college and be a fan! :)

[@twallaceii]

While Mike was in the background folding the sheet I was 😊hoping I could see how he was going to fold the fitted sheet. Then he asked us🤪

[@justbrowsing71]

Mike that’s exactly how you fold it! I call it origami! Congratulations Ryan. Enjoy the summer.

[@KevlarX2]

The way he folded that fitted sheet was exactly what I do. Just roll it into a ball and throw it in the closet. LOL!

[@VirgoJQ]

Gosh, crazy to think it was cruise vlogs when all three were so young and here we with everyone adults!

[@jeffbuescher1027]

Congrats, Ryan!! USF is a great school.

[@sallywilson4403]

Thanks for updating us on cats and summer plans ! Glad Ryan will continue young life stuff ! Good luck to Ryan , during his financial and job quest !🤔looking forward to Ryan s graduation video ! 😎 Cats will be back after their adventures ,remember , they don t need you ,you need them . 😼😺 I hope this is a Ryan plan and not parental wishing or coaxing, annitiating one !

[@alishadube16]

I live in Maine and it’s so underrated year around but especially in the summer!!

[@kristinawallace]

First I just want to say so sorry about the kitty’s I hope they come back home to you soon. And congratulations to Ryan on graduating and getting in to the college he wanted. And Katie if you decide to come to Maine you should come a visit the town of Bath. It’s a very nice and beautiful town I think you would really like it. And I can’t wait to see what you all do this summer.🙂🙂❤️❤️

[@beckstar78]

omg congrats Ryan!! and not to give false hope, but our family has definitely had cats come back after quite some time

[@isabelpetrou]

Good luck with the LSAT Brennan!! Excited about this new chapter for Ryan at USF. So sad about the kitties, that is why we don't let my cat go outdoors. It's more comforting. Praying they come home!

[@itsthedonnellys]

Us too!

[@disneydanny2]

Congraduations Ryan!

[@megankinard3354]

[@natebritney368]

Ryan so proud of you!!

[@chloe-o-chloe4976]

I love this family, quirks and all. As a silent viewer, I usually just enjoy watching, but when it comes to the well-being of animals, that's where I draw the line. It’s concerning that they didn’t take proper precautions for their cats, such as getting a name tag collar (which costs less than 10 dollars at any grocery store. ) This oversight seems out of character and doesn’t match the care and attention Jill typically gives to her children. I just hoped the same level of care would extend to the cats. 😔Before, I thought about mentioning something, but I thought it wasn’t my place and to not assume they did the same with Edward. During my church service this Sunday, I prayed they didn’t meet a tragic fate, like an alligator attack or a car accident, as we all know a GPS tracker doesn’t save them from these realistic fates in their area. I believe this might be a lesson for other pet parents to ensure their pets are well-protected. ❤️‍🩹 11:15

That was heartbreaking Ryan and Jill about the kitties. Ryan’s action’s trying to hold back his grin. Jill laugh to his actions.

USF has a high octane offense for their football team. They often made a great wager on the over the total lol.

[@kaylasunny]

in the most respectful way possible, losing a second cat right after losing the first one is wild. shows you didn’t learn your lesson. poor kitties 🥺

[@ladylucke09]

for me, it’s the lackadaisical explanation of forgetting to charge the collar. they always represents taking responsibility for serious things in life and that just seems like yeah we forgot, like forgetting to take out the trash or some thing. And I know they’re decent people and meant no harm by the cats, but just that conversation was awkward.

[@itsthedonnellys]

We missed you!

[@DaleyDale]

The cat story is a little fishy... they been missing since last year and you had a platform to use and a following that you could ask for help if they spot them around but instead you kept quiet about it for a long time. Poor Alice and Eddie... i think Ryan gave a hint of what really happen to them with the gesture he did. I still remember years ago when they had their first cat whom i sadly forgot the name. Jill and Ryan really love that kitty... made me cry when they cried when the kitty passed away.

I can only assume since there are no comments about Katie that they have been deleted. What happened to her? She used to be so nice and now she appears so self centered and rude. How many times did she have to brag that she gets free flights? Why not get a job? Why not do some volunteer work?

[@beckstar78]

Maybe try not to assume. They don't have to give you every single detail of what they are doing. Maybe she has a summer job lined up or still volunteers. I don't think she was bragging, it seemed like she was thankful that she could go back and forth from her childhood home to the Florida home. The only thing that seems rude to me was your post.

[@Gohappygirl]

How is she bragging that her mom works and it gets them free flights? That’s not exactly bragging… you don’t know what Kate is doing. She could be volunteering
