This video was uploaded on January 29th, 2017 and is marked as a private video on the channel. It had Stephanie making a sole appearance in the video.

## Video Synopsis

The video begins with Stephanie not being sure where to begin, eventually starting off by explaining that she had just moved to Oregon a few months before coming onto the channel and knew very few people.

She notes that she knew Andrea, Mackenzie, and Mars over the summer before joining the channel. Over time she was gradually exposed to the channel and was eventually asked to be in a video, specifically Straight Face.

She then goes onto the livestreams, mentioning that she was playing Witcher 3 with Mackenzie and Outlast with Mariya. She was then asked to join the channel, mentioning that she was still new to Oregon and had her own Twitch channel going on.

She notes that being asked to join was an amazing opportunity and agreed to join the channel without hesitation. She says that she did not know how big the channel was and how much it meant for the other girls, admitting that she initially envisioned it to be just a hobby for her.

However, she notes that when she joined the channel, she was having so much fun and came to the studio as often as she could and did all her Youtube shoots as fast as she could, feeling that she was finally in an industry that she really enjoyed.

She states that she started off strong during 2016, but in her mission to be the best for the group, she felt that she had put her personal to the side too much, stating that she rejected a job offer because she felt that the channel was going great and felt that she was doing well.

By the end of the year, she found herself stressed and not taking enough time to focus on herself outside of the channel, deciding that something had to give. She notes that early 2016 was the happiest she had been in her entire life, saying that she's always had issues with depression.

She then talks about moving from state to state, Oregon being her fourth state, to which she says is not by choice and that she just has to keep moving when something falls through. She sums up the year by saying that her time on the channel wasn't working.

She says that there is a lot going on in the channel, a lot of good and, in her experience, there was not good. She notes that she went to her home state over the holidays and had time to regroup and think about herself and what she can do to improve herself.

She then apologizes to the fans, saying that she doesn't mean to hurt anyone and that she knows she's being moderately vague. She jokes that while she won't miss the lights on her face, she will miss the fans, apologizing again and saying that it's not against anyone.

She reiterates that she just felt burnt out and needed time out to ground herself, saying that she got lost in what she was doing. As she has troubles trying to think of an outro, she jokes that she has to make it the ultimate outro since it'd be her last one, ending it with a simple thank you to the fans.
