The Pros And Cons Of Being A Fashion Blogger
youtube

Since I first joined Instagram, I have been semi-obsessed with the fashion bloggers I follow. I'm a dedicated fan of @cmcoving, @kateireneblue, and @champagneandchanel. Their clothes are to die for. Their hair is always perfectly in place. There's no way they weigh more than 100 pounds soaking wet.

From the Chanel purses to their Louboutin red-soled pumps, I wanted to be just like them. It got to the point where I even made a separate Instagram page so I could be a fashion blogger, too. And I was a fashion blogger - for a whole two weeks until I let the page fall to ruins and lost all of my followers because I quit posting pictures of the high-end outfits I bought for low prices.

So I started making a list of pros and cons to decide whether I should start my fashiongram back up, and I'm here to share the list with you.

PRO: You get free clothes from stores who want you to endorse their brands.

CON: You may not actually like the clothes they send you.

PRO: You get to post super cute photos of yourself in cute clothes while "drinking" a fancy milkshake.

CON: You can't actually drink the milkshake because there are way to many calories in that thing for you to stay a size 0.

PRO: You don't really have to have a "real" job because you get paid to take pictures and travel.

CON: You can't really have a real job because you spend all your time taking pictures and traveling.

PRO: You get paid to post pictures on Instagram.

CON: Who has room for all those clothes in their closet?

PRO: You'll get to make a ton of friends/have a ton of fans.

CON: How can you tell the friends and fans apart? Are they friends with you because you're Instafamous and can hook you up with the latest trends for free or because they genuinely like you as a person?

PRO: People want to know about what you're doing and what you're wearing and where you're going.

CON: Is anything really private for you?

PRO: People constantly compliment the way you look, and it makes you feel great.

CON: If you don't look your best, rude people will say you look like a troll. And if you look good, these same people will talk about how overdone you look.


So, I guess I can't really decide whether I should start my fashion blogger Instagram page back up. If I do, maybe I'll write an article about what it's actually like to be an fashion blogger. Maybe it will all be pros. Who knows?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
