My Future Work-Life Balance with Streams/Videos

Hey everyone,

As you may have noticed over this past month I have gotten quite quiet with my streams. This has mostly been between me focusing on video creation more and preparing for college (moving in, jobs, etc). I wanted to inform you guys how the future is looking like for my online presence between college.

	I will be on campus during the week and be home on weekends/vacations. On top of this, I am currently planning to have around 10-15 hours for an on-campus job and 10 hours on the weekends for an off-campus job. I may remove the off-campus job if things get crazy for me, but I'm at least trying this.
	While I will be in school and having a bunch of work, I want to try my best to pursue my online avenues more. Unfortunately though, streaming will not be my priority. As most of you know, I have had major success on YouTube this year achieving nearly 8,000 subscribers and 600k+ views already. On top of this, I also have some possible business opportunities regarding my channel that I can't share much of yet, but I am excited for how things will look in the coming months! During school, my goal is to try and still upload every 1-2 months. YouTube has been growing from just a side hobby to a possible side-career, and I want to keep pursuing it.

While YouTube will be my major focus, I am not leaving Twitch for good. I will try to fit streams here and there on weekends, and definitely more during winter break, etc. My main goal I have planned for now is grinding out attempts of Super Mario World 11 Exit cloud. Off and on I have been trying to achieve top 10, and I am getting even more serious about it. I may do some random races if I have time inbetween, but cloud will really be my focus. I want top 10 no matter what, and I fully believe that with time, practice and patience I can/will get at least top 5, and this is very ambitious but maybe someday I can be a WR contender?

So that's where I am. Obviously school/work is first, but after that is my video content, then twitch/speedruns. Sadly I have to have more of a life at some point, but I am not going away. Please know I'm studying something I really enjoy (Digital Media/Video Production), and I am really excited for these next few years!

Cheers,
