Kate Marie's schoolwork escape plan involves a millionaire
A lip-sync joke about her classroom inner monologue draws an unusually fast audience, with a stress ball in hand.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 1,144,718 views a day, 11 times a normal first day on this channel (106,668).
I thought I had it figured out😭😂
Homework has an alternative in Kate Marie's latest comedy Short: marry someone rich and skip the studying altogether.
Under the caption "What my brain sounded like in school," Kate squeezes a pink-and-purple stress ball while lip-syncing to an audio track about a spectacularly unserious life plan. She gestures along as the rhyme moves from avoiding schoolwork to marrying a millionaire, then replacing him if necessary. She finishes laughing. This is a performed joke, not a personal announcement.
The Short, titled "I thought I had it figured out😭😂", reached about 690,000 views in ten hours. Its opening pace is far above Kate's usual start for Shorts, putting this tiny classroom daydream well beyond her routine audience.
Among the comments about the audio, one viewer recognizes the experience from their own day. Another spots a more tangible point of connection: they have the same squishy.
