Every now and then people ask me, why? What is the point of becoming a YouTuber or even trying? You know it is all luck based right?

Sure. I know these things but it doesn't mean I don't enjoy recording, and trying to make people laugh. So I put together a small list of reasons I am choosing to work towards making youtube my full-time job.


1. I enjoy making people laugh.







Although, I tend to be very awkward and have a very dark sense of humor, I love to make other people laugh or smile. It is my favorite thing to do. I live to entertain others even if it is due to my own misery. I like to see someone smile after they have had a terrible day. That is all I need to put a smile on my face or to make me feel better!


2. I like being in front of the camera.

I have always enjoyed selfies, or recording strange videos with friends. Pulling pranks or being ridiculous. This all probably stemmed from me starting to watch shows like Jackass from a younger age (14), and being in front of camera acting like a fool seemed like fun to me. Although at this point I only create vlogs or gaming videos. I am sure more than just those are bound to happen.


3. I enjoy gaming.












Gaming is one of the types of videos I enjoy doing. For one reason only, video games are one of my favorite hobbies. I have played video games since I can remember and was young. It will forever hold a special place in my heart. Gaming is very big on youtube as well, which is helpful to me cause hey, I enjoy being a gamer!


4. Editing is sorta fun.

I have began editing my videos with a new program and enjoy it a lot more now. Editing is fun to do for me, because I can get creative and be different. I love being able to see what options I have through editing to make better content. Although at times it can be frustrating, I still enjoy it.

5. I have always looked up to YouTubers.









Since early in my high school career, youtube was always well known. Many people made a living creating for youtube and I always watched tons of them. They were all funny people who did what they loved. I look up to them, as that is something you have to work very hard towards and to be able to make a living off that, is amazing.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
