The Struggles Of A YouTuber

So, granted I haven't posted a video on YouTube in a couple of months now (oops), one thing you may not have known about me is that I am a YouTuber! (youtube.com/nick14cummings) *hint hint*

I have been making silly videos on this international video-sharing platform since a confused middle schooler. Thankfully the videos of my earlier days are privated, but I started uploading at a consistent basis just a couple of years ago. Since then, I have noticed 10 struggles that myself and many other YouTubers that I have met consistently experience.


1. Time. So much Time.

Not many people realize how much time goes into making a YouTube video. First, you have to come up with an idea, film the video, edit(which takes the longest), upload it (which can take even longer if you have really bad WV or university internet like me), and wait for someone to see it.


2. The Lack of viewers

I'm not saying I'm only doing YouTube for the fame, but it is a little discouraging when you put all of your time and energy into making a video perfect for only a few people to see it.

3. The camera battery dies in the middle of filming

This happens to all of us. And it sucks. Especially when its during a really good take.

4. Running out of space on SD card

There is only so much our SD cards can hold and deciding which clips to delete in order to make more space is sometimes like deciding between Eating or Sleeping. Both are just necessary and equally satisfying, but you only have time for one.

5. Filming an entire video out of focus.

THIS HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME I FILM THE PERFECT VIDEO BUT EVERYTHING IS BLURRY AND IT MAKES ME SO MAD WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF

6. Somebody walking in on you filming

My mom has done this to me several times and it is probably the most awkward thing ever. I mean you're just sitting in your room alone talking to a camera. I know, mom I need to get out more.

7. Not having any ideas

Today is the day for you to film a video and you can't think of anything but to do a Q and A or the "whisper challenge." We've all been there.

8. Someone watching your videos in front of you

If you ever want to make a YouTuber feel extremely uncomfortable and most likely hate you for the rest of eternity, just pull up one of their videos while you guys are hanging out. Don't ask us why it makes us feel like you're gouging our eyes out. It just does.

9. Not Having time to make videos

We get so busy sometimes and we WANT to make a video- we really do! But our busy schedules just don't allow it. We're sorry, we really are. Please don't leave.

10. People watch your videos but don't subscribe

Okay this may just be me getting nit-picky, but some people just don't know what the word "subscribe" means. If you are a consistent watcher of someone's videos, do them the biggest favor in the world and click the subscribe button so they know that you love them!

So, there you have it. Being a YouTuber isn't all it's cracked up to be, but we do it because we enjoy it! I'm going to take this opportunity to shamelessly promote my YouTube channel! Click the link below to visit!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
