Someone had to do it.

A Definitive Ranking: Shane Dawson Documentaries
YouTube

Shane Dawson has quickly transformed himself from quirky Youtuber to documentarian, as seen in his drastic shift from splashy challenge videos to feature-length series. As he's about to release his latest doc, "The Beautiful World of Jeffree Star", I took it upon myself to definitively rank each of Shane's series. Because why not? Here it is, ranked from worst to best.

6. The Three-Part Grav3yardGirl Series

Many don't know this, but Shane's dip into the waters of documentary-making actually started with a three-part series on Youtuber grav3yardgirl, who was popular at one point but whose subscriber count drastically dipped. Shane made a series about trying to revamp grav3yardgirl's channel. Although funny at times, this series still has remnants of Shane's older, more cheesy videos, and fails to hit the mark.

5. The Return of Eugenia Cooney

Although I really enjoyed the message of this short documentary (an hour long--relatively short compared to other series' Shane has made), in comparison to every other doc it falls flat.

4. The Secret World of Jeffree Star

This was so interesting to watch purely to see how rich Jeffree Star really is. Other than that, Jeffree's rise to stardom and his controversy are handled well.

3. Investigating Conspiracies With Shane Dawson

A conspiracy video series complete with Chuck-E-Cheese pizza theories, this doc was wild from start to finish.

2. The Mind of Jake Paul

SO many people were secretly interested in Jake Paul behind the scenes. This doc really dug deep into Jake's family life and scandal, so much so that at the end of the series you could see where Jake gets some of his erratic behavior.

1. Tanacon

Ah yes, a classic. The Tanacon series truly started it all, and although many criticized Shane for being too forgiving towards Tana, watching Tanacon come crashing down and throughly analyzed was quite entertaining.

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.
