Hello hello my friends! Kaitlyn here! And what are your summer plans?
(INTRO MUSIC)
Are we going to the beach yet?
Surfin' USA do do do do do do do do! This is my own Surfin' USA song.
So summer has always been my favorite time year.
There’s warm weather and I can tank tops and shorts.
The days are longer and the sun is usually shining.
And even when it isn't. It can mean some epic storms!
I can go swimming or hiking or just generally have lots of fun outside.
And I always make lots of summer plans for myself.
Now, when I was a kid, and had my summers off from school, I would PACK my summer full of cool things.
I would go to science camp. I taught myself how to sew so I could make these cloth dolls.
I was always writing stories or painting or drawing something.
And I was perpetually building a hideout in the woods despite the risk of snakes.
It was awesome!
And then when I was a little older and went to college, I still had my summers off, and
they were relatively fun too.
I usually spent a lot of time volunteering and still writing and painting.
I did a lot of craft and DIY projects around my parent’s house like one year I took
all the lawn ornaments and repainted them to look bright and new.
But man, when you’re not in school anymore and you work a job that doesn’t take summers off or even
like slow down during the summer, it is a bummer!
But for some reason I still see summer as this time for opportunity.
I don’t know if it's that the days are longer so I feel like I have more time.
So as we go into another summer I thought I would take some time to tell you guys about what I have planned
and what you can expect on the channel.
First, I’m going to VidCon again this year! Yay!
Please! Please let me know if you are also going! because
I would love to meet you! Take a picture with, all that fun stuff.
Second, I’ve been making 2 videos a week since August.
But actually since I got a new job and moved because apparently I’m crazy and react to a high
stress situation by giving myself more things to do!
This is a legitimate problem that I have.
And I love making 2 videos a week.
But I really want to take the summer off.
No! Wait! Not off of YouTube entirely! I just want to go back to 1 video a week for the duration of the summer.
I started this whole thing like, "Oh I'll just make my Tuesday videos something like low-key and not a lot of
work” and somehow through time it has morphed into 2 full production videos a week
and it is wearing me out.
But more importantly, it’s been preventing me from getting my other goals accomplished.
Like do you follow my blog?
I haven’t written a blog in a month!
This is so crazy!
That's never happened before!
But it’s because I’ve been so worn out and scrambling to get all the things in my
life done on time.
So basically June through August, unless other noted, I will only be making Thursday videos.
Now this will leave me some time to work on other important iIMAGINEblank goals like….starting a patreon!
Woot woot!
So support for me (which is great!) but also cool perks and more interaction for you all!
And working on a website for iIMAGINEblank.
This is something that I’ve been talking about for years now. But in order to it, I honestly
just gotta trim some of the fat from my life in order to make sure that I have time to devote to it.
I’m trying to be really mindful of my personal and professional needs and do what I think is best.
So yeah for summer break!
Anyway, that’s enough about me, what about you guys?
Do you have any summer plans?
Tell me all about them down in the comments!

See you guys on...THURSDAY!
