Being Into Influencers And YouTubers Is A Good Thing

I feel like I always hear people making fun of influencers and YouTubers, but they're popular for a reason.

Having role models and inspirations is never a bad thing. In fact, I believe it is an important part of finding yourself, figuring out your style, and your lifestyle. I feel like in today's society I always hear people making fun of influencers, bloggers, YouTubers and any sort of non-traditional job that has been created through the use of technology and social media as "not a real job". But, they are real jobs. Their job is to inspire and influence, and I believe a vast majority of them do just that.

Especially in my age group (I am 19) and college students, we are all essentially trying to figure ourselves out. We are away from home for the first time, get to try new things, pick a major, and figure out how to style yourself and your apartment. We need guidance. We look for people to inspire us, influence us with good decisions. Granted, we shouldn't bow down to them and take their word for gospel, because they are normal people just like us. They do have a good understanding of themselves and they're style and can help push us to find the things we want to incorporate not our daily lives.

Though it isn't logical for everyone to drop what they're doing and try to become an influencer, social media is a powerful tool. You can post your beliefs, feelings, goals, progress, and life on social media and I'm sure it would reach many people that are interested in what you have to say. You might even be able to influence and inspire other people just by being a normal person.

Never be embarrassed to fangirl and admire certain people on the internet, that is life now. That is how we grow ourselves and how people grow their businesses. It is important now to have options and tools to understand yourself.

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.
