hey guys it's Conan and last weekend
December 5th I turned 17 years old it's
really weird to think that I'm 17
because I still look and feel like a
10-year-old so um I can't I don't think
I fully processed it yet I don't want to
really think about it too much and so
last weekend I didn't film a video cuz I
wanted to just spend time with my family
and friends and just actually enjoy my
birthday instead of spending tons of
time trying to remember my birthday like
to just enjoy my birthday I wanted to
film this video 16 things I learned by
16 last year but um I never did it so I
thought i' would finally do it this year
I'm filming this because I really want
to be able to look back on this video
when I turn 18 or 19 or whatever and see
what 17-year-old me thought of the world
and what 17-year-old me thought he knew
and just know what 17-year-old me's
outlook on life was so this isn't really
like advice or anything this is just
things that I have learned by 17 I hope
that
it's I don't know I hope I don't know
let's just let's just let's just do it
number one is that I haven't learned 17
things in life yet I'm still like a baby
mentally though I know like a lot about
the world and I've gone through a lot of
a lot of things I still feel
like a baby but here is what I think
I've learned by 17 and who knows in a
year I might look back on this and be
like what were you thinking Conan that's
wrong two Fame and success does not mean
happiness this is something that took
forever for me to learn and honestly I
still haven't fully learned this because
I still find myself thinking like oh if
I were you know I think I'd be really
happy if I were famous but it's so wrong
it's the wrongest statement ever when I
I was a small small YouTuber when I had
like 50 subscribers before I ever really
started making YouTube videos I always
thought like oh if I had like 1,000
subscribers I'm sure I'd be so happy cuz
all these people would love me like how
could I be sad if all these people loved
me and then I got a th000 subscribers
and I was like um not really that happy
maybe if I have 10,000 subscribers I'll
be happy and then I reached 10,000
subscribers and I was like I'm still not
happy but I'm sure once I have 100,000
subscribers I'll be the happiest person
on Earth my life will be great and
everything will be fine and look at me
I'm almost at a 100,000 subscribers and
I'm definitely not what I expected
myself to be at 100,000 subscribers if
you spend your whole entire life trying
to get material things and trying to
have Fame you're never ever going to be
happy um I promise because it's just it
just doesn't work it just just doesn't
and it took me forever to figure this
out and I really just want to tell this
to all the small YouTubers out there
because Fame on YouTube or fame or any
material things on this Earth will not
give you happiness I guarantee it don't
spend your entire life trying to get
this Fame thing if it's not it's just
not going to make you happy just do what
you love to do and um that's the main
way to happiness number three numbers do
not Define you my entire life numbers
have defined me I've been like oh I get
all these good grades I'm the best wow
good job Conan here's your flag of
happiness and I thought that when I got
bad grades I was just immediately like
nothing I was just scum of the earth and
then when I started making YouTube
videos I would always think that since I
have more subscribers than this person
I'm better than them and if I have less
subscribers than this person then
they're better than me and just numbers
have defined me my whole entire life and
I'm finally learning that they do not
mean anything number four go and play
outside you Hol again okay I do this
thing where I just don't go outside for
like months I I just don't go outside
and I turn into this disgusting like
pale naked mole rat it's really bad but
really like go outside go outside go
outside number five you really only need
a few deadly dang good friends you
really only need like one really really
good friend friend um but friends are
too great to only have one I mean
striving for popularity just results in
having a whole bunch like a ton and ton
of really mediocre friends it's not fun
at all just find that one person and
you'll be set you really you really only
need like a few good friends ever since
I've met my friend group which is super
close it's only like six people um I've
never ever questioned like oh I think I
need some more friends it's just I just
love my friend group and that's really
all you need number six you need sadness
in your life and it's completely normal
to be sad you really need like really
sad depressing times in your life just
to be able to appreciate all the really
fun times you have in your life without
the sad you can't really differentiate
what's really really great and what's
really really bad so when you're feeling
like a rotting potato don't worry
because there's a lot of other people
feeling like rotting potatoes and it's
completely normal to be a rotting potato
it's
fine you are great in the course of the
17 years of my life I found that the
things that I miss the most are the time
spent doing nothing just sitting around
with the people I love or sitting in the
cafe for hours on end with friends
laying on the floor in dead
silence doing nothing laughing
uncontrollably with my neighbors in
California there're the moments that you
don't really notice or happening when
they're happening but then when you look
back on them they're the memories that I
miss the most number eight it's super
super okay to be a rebel child and to
skip school as long as you don't get
like kicked out of school for it or you
miss a whole bunch of tests or something
it's super super fine to skip school
sometimes I'll just wake up and I just
can't I just can't do it the this life
thing so I'll just stay home and do all
my homework and B and cry and watch
Netflix and it's it's so great just if
you feel like you're dying don't go to
school number nine that's an eight
number nine nobody cares what you look
like and people who do care what you
look like don't matter obviously this is
super easy for me to say but it's really
hard to input in your own life because
people are really mean and judgmental
but if that statement helps you in the
slightest bit then I'm glad that I did
something because it's super super hard
to learn that and I haven't even learned
it yet number 10 hands down Middle
School is the worst place ever and if
you're in middle school and everybody
hates you and you hate everyone don't
worry Middle School is just a really
horrible place it's a really horrible
time of everybody's life and you'll go
on to high school and life will be a lot
better middle schoolers are just pure
evil that's it 11 being an actual crazy
person is so great and very very
necessary just rolling around and
singing super super loud you really need
to do these things in order to stay sane
which is ironic because you look like a
crazy person doing them 12 have one
thing to look forward to at the end of
every week for me that's mostly just
being able to sleep in because I don't
really get to sleep in ever and being
able to spend time with my friends for
me without something to look forward to
at the end of the week I just can't do
it and I I will break down I guarantee I
will break down I can't do it 13 find
something that lets you de-stress and
just do it constantly all the time for
me that is singing anyone who knows me
or has spent like more than an hour with
me knows that there's just a constant
stream of noise coming out of my mouth I
cannot shut up it's so bad I'm always
singing but it's my way of de-stressing
and I just can't control it I don't even
notice that it's going on it's my way of
coping with stress and if I couldn't
sing I don't think I don't think I would
be okay so find something that lets you
de-stress and just do it all the time it
took me forever forever to learn that
other people's opinions don't matter if
you're proud of the things that you've
done then that's it you did it who cares
what other people think number 15
In-N-Out is definitely the most
comforting food for me if there's one
thing on this list that is 100% correct
this is the one 16 you never really know
what you have till it's gone I know this
statement has been said a million times
by every wise bearded man on Earth and
woman bearded
woman but it's so true and there's a
reason why it's so famous last summer I
thought that I was moving to California
permanently I was moving because I
thought that I really had nothing left
in this small Texas town I thought that
I had nothing that I would miss and I
thought that there was no point in me
being here so I was just going to move
to California but by the time summer
ended and I was in California for the
whole summer I really just wanted to
come home to Texas I didn't know that I
love this tiny town and all the
beautiful amazing people in it until I
left for a really long time and so I
came back and now I'm here and I love it
I love it so much number 17 I am
grateful for everything I know this for
sure I'm super super grateful for my
friends and my family and my home and my
talents and the opportunities I've been
given in life I'm grateful for my
failures and my enemies because they've
made me the person that I am today and
I'm just so grateful for you guys I mean
my life would be so different if I if I
didn't have YouTube so thank you so so
much thank you for watching this video
If you enjoyed it you can give it a
thumbs up if you didn't enjoy it you can
go that way or you can fly away up there
there's just a lot of great things that
you can do other than hating on me in
the comments but you can hate on me in
the comments too if you want I mean that
might be your outlet hating
people that doesn't sound very fun I
have been wearing sweatpants this entire
video sorry I've been super off schedule
of this whole YouTube thing for so long
I know I'm I'm I know that you guys are
really mad at me about it and I haven't
been making you know the types of videos
that you guys really love but I've been
trying to do things that I love school
is really stressful finals week is next
week and I think I might break down into
yours talking about it so I'm just going
to stop talking about it but afterwards
it's going to be winter break I'm going
to have tons of time it's going to be
super great and I will get back on
schedule yay for me being 17 hopefully
