Besties. Never did I say taking a gap year was only for the privileged or rich. I specifically said it would be nice to laze about and the privileged people I was referring to were those that can just relax and travel or whatever. I was decidedly not making a blanket statement referring to everyone that takes time off from school. I have taken 2 gap semesters specifically because of financial reasons. (And obvi it's a privilege to even go to school der. But also don't assume you know everything about someone's situation based on what they feel is appropriate to share) kk bye!

[@fromthemoonandmybed]

Don't let those people who got offended by that get to you. I understood what you meant, and I thought the same. Many can take a loan for school and get grants so I would think. If they have easy access to education and take a gap year to mess around and leech off family i.e parents. Then yeah its def a privilege.

[@PlannerDoll19]

Your thesis sounds fascinating. If you ever decide to publish it, I'd be one of your first readers. Awesome vlog as usual.

[@rmt-books]

Agreed! I never thought about photography from that perspective, and it's very compelling!

[@pmjane]

We’ve been spoilleeedd by Kat lately with many videos these days and I LOVE IT!!! I AM GRATEFUL FOR IT!!! Thank you, Kat. Good luck on your next journey of school, work, and even for everything that you do now. Love yaaaa

[@angelinaterrazas4590]

I've loved listening to you talk about where your academic journey is taking you! Your thesis sounds incredibly interesting to read and It's incredibly inspiring to hear about your experience and point of view as a minority. All that being said, I wish you so much luck in your pursuits!

[@alyssalemoine00]

Hearing you talk about your thesis made me so happy.. your passion for your research is so incredibly inspiring and very much needed in this world. Especially in the US. I can’t wait to see where it takes you in the future and I genuinely believe you’ll have a great impact on so many people. Sorry if this is sappy lol

[@alifeofpoetry]

I am so glad there is someone on YT that speaks on topics such like your thesis for your education. So important to shed light on these topics. Love your videos Kat!

[@krispysoup4144]

A squeal of glee left my mouth as soon as I saw that you posted a video. I was super stressed about my exams but now I feel invincible, Thank youuu :D

[@scubachef99]

I love watching your vlogs. It feels like a day trip with a sister honestly. Love you and your channel 😊

[@kittyquinn004]

I love listening to you talk about your thesis! I hope in the future there will be more photos (or even bookmarks!!) of Belize in your shop 💚

[@sil4943]

Listening about your thesis reminded me of a college class I took that is about different historical records of non-European (non-Western) people and their culture being rewritten and forcibly taken by straight white historians. It definitely change my perspective about history and to never trust what is recorded about my Mexican culture from a white historian or use our culture to their advantage. Like, a holiday that is based on my own Mexican culture was almost trademark by a white corporation for entertainment purposes instead of respect. I give you the best of luck and hope to continue your research because we all need history about non-European people being told and recorded by ACTUAL non-European people.

[@Andrea-jw1pz]

I would love to hear more of your thesis work and your cultural identity. I wish I knew more about it and by remembering who has written history I feel like listening to you telling more about it is listening to the right person.

[@asaimegumi]

I’ve been rewatching your vlogs now that it’s nearly fall and am so excited to watch this one (even though it is still 90 degrees in california) 🥰

[@nikkidionson1069]

Wow a midweek video ❤ thanks kat!

[@tenshi_tries]

have the best day of your life! thank you for this video :)

[@paulinee.g]

Honestly, the dreamers trilogy (sequel to trc) is very good. it’s different but you get to understand the dream thing to another level

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

That little ghost mug is TOO CUTE

[@linabmjb]

What's a better way to enter Autumn than watching your video

[@booksjournalsandletters]

Much love from the Caribbean Island of Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹

[@leah4514]

Love your videos and your consistency! How do you put out multiple videos within a week? Do you wait until you have a few edited before uploading?

[@katherinekaras]

I haven't created a routine yet but I've been editing most on Saturday for the Sunday upload and Sunday and Monday for Wednesday- very tight turn around

[@honeybunnybunny1958]

Hi thank you for upload 🫶🏼 I love your channel and your personality 💜 hope to see some journaling flip throughs 🥹 have you ever tried digital journaling?

[@katherinekaras]

Kinda? It was not very successful so does it really count

[@srishti9938]

Girl, you’re talented af. I would love to read your thesis if you publish it... loads of love from india

[@delatoba]

It is great listening to you talk about your thesis and what you are planning to do in the future! Now to a very different topic, have you listened to the new NCT 127 album? It's amazing! Could you do a album review?

[@vianeyitalia6044]

Don’t take a gap year lol I graduated in 2018 and it has been a struggle to get back into writing and research for me 😅

[@mckenzielanigan6688]

I love your videos but when you said privileged people take gap years that really took me by surprise. I took a gap year between my undergrad and masters because the pandemic had just started and I didn’t have the money to start grad school. Taking a gap year is not for the privileged

[@katherinekaras]

Having privilege is not a bad thing and I wasn't saying it was - it's just one I don't have and I'm jealous for it

[@katherinekaras]

Oop AND I actually took a gap semester because of financial reasons too but I was thinking of rich white people that treat gap years as a time to get wild or whatever (which is what I'm surrounded with at school so that's why I said it that way)

[@mary-preciousegbo]

5:15 - it is giving Wednesday vibes idk ( from Addam's family)

[@booksjournalsandletters]

Awwwww

[@Julie_ao]

😍❣️

[@kiglover9078]

Scared a fart out of him 😂poor baby

[@littlefilm2005]

You should have done your thesis on why nct are a bunch of clowns 😔

[@iramx8]

i second this

[@SH-yo7pq]

The last part about privileged people taking a gap year sounds a bit tone-deaf towards people that for whatever reason needed to take it. Going to another school after finishing one, living by yourself in new york city, etc, is already a privileged place to be. And by saying this I don't mean to offend you, I can see that your intention with your thesis is beautiful, I just felt the need to point this out. Sending you love.

[@katherinekaras]

I'm not saying that having privilege is a bad thing. I'm saying I don't have that kind of privilege and I'm jealous for it. I will have to start paying back my student loans when I leave school so I would like to prolong it as much as possible if I can get the opportunity to keep going. Just consider there are things that I don't share about how I am able to live the life I do 🖤

[@urfavcowboy5088]

beloved, maya = people mayan = language unless yo yucatec, den maya cud also refer to the language stop seh yo mayan, you da noh wah language

[@katherinekaras]

i know it's hard to break the habit

[@anaaaxa]

I love your videos, but I felt you kind of overstepped on the whole “only privileged people take gap years”, I am taking a gap year before medical school to work and earn money… so I dont see how that’s privileged, not all gap years are for traveling and being lazy, some use it to work.

[@katherinekaras]

I didn't say only privileged people take gap years. I never said all people who take gap years have money - I took a gap semester because of financial reasons - I was never making a blanket statement. I was specifically talking about privileged people who take a gap semester and don't have work or worry about money which I said in the video I would work if I couldn't go back to school right away

[@davidelduayen8601]

Do you really wear rings on all your fingers? don't they bother you?

[@katherinekaras]

yep! they dont really bother me ive gotten used to it but i cant wear them all day

[@dianaborquez8608]

In Which app do you hear the audiobooks? I want to start this way of reading but idk which app is better 🥲 or if someone else is reading this which app do you use?? 👀

[@Ali-ke5dh]
