Why I Appreciate YouTube Vlogs
DNA India

YouTube is slowly taking over the world. It's funny to think that I used to use the website only to spend hours watching funny cat videos or videos of some of the best epic fails of all time. Over the past summer, I started getting in to YouTube's quality content, meaning that I started subscribing to a few users and watched their videos constantly. Through this, I was able to explore new YouTube channels, and stumbled across a few that I really liked. These channels stood out to me because they are solely based around vlogging, otherwise known as video blogging.

Vlogs are entertaining because they allow you to connect with the YouTuber filming them, and it kind of gives you a peek in to what their life is actually like. Of course I don't actually know this person, and I have no idea what they go through on a day to day basis, but they're giving me content that tells me who they are. Vloggers are completely free to do whatever they want with their content. They can bring you along while they run errands or can make the vlog interesting by providing content that has been strung together over a period of time. I think that the freedom that comes along with vlogging is another reason why I appreciate it so much. The vloggers don't have to be doing something exciting the entire time they're filming. What makes me realize that these people I'm watching through my tiny computer screen are actually real is the fact that they live a pretty much normal life.

One of my favorite vloggers, Julien Solomita, is always attempting to give his viewers better content. He is passionate about his viewers and you can tell that he is just an easy-going, relatable guy. Vlogs are interesting to me because they are short little snippets of video, but through those snippets you are able to connect with the person on some level. Vlogs might not be for everyone. If you constantly need to be entertained by a video, then they might not be the good choice for you, but I recommend at least giving them a shot. You never know who might catch your eye and possibly inspire you to do something different.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
