1. ElleOfTheMills
Elle Mills makes mostly comedy videos that are centered around her love life, or lack thereof, and her family. She has a charming sense of humor that is accented by very creative editing and pacing in her videos. Her coming out video is widely recognized as being one of the most influential on the platform. No matter the subject material, most of her videos will leave you feeling happy about how you spent the last 10 minutes.
2. Carly and Erin
Carly and Erin are mostly recognized for being members of a larger group of vloggers in Los Angeles, and their channel often goes unnoticed. There's no real rhyme or reason to most of their videos, but they share a friendship that has endured much longer than most joint channels on YouTube, which gives them a certain charm that has probably contributed to their recent growth.
3. Zimri Mayfield
Zimri Mayfield is definitely the smallest channel on this list. Zimri's channel is the kind that you discover when you have to take a graphic design class in college and don't know how to use any Adobe software, so you search for tutorials on YouTube. Most of his videos are design centered. He's a bumbling ball of energy that is so much fun to watch that you almost forget that he's teaching you something.
4. shane
Everyone who has spent more than 10 minutes on YouTube already knows who this guy is. He has been around forever and has been the master of maintaining relevancy on a platform that's only constant is change. Shane is funny and all of his videos, even the problematic sketches of the past, have a positive overarching theme.
5. JennaMarbles
Jenna is another creator that has been around forever. Though, unlike Shane Dawson, she has managed to stay relevant for the better part of 10 years without changing the content that she produces very much. Most of her videos focus on her dogs or some kind of craft that she decides to take on. She helps you realize that you don't need to be a professional to glue 1000 rhinestones to your face, you just have to be bored enough.
11 Things To Do On Those Easygoing Fall Weekends We All Love
Let's be real, sitting in your dorm room or going out and partying all the time gets pretty old.
When boredom hits, it hits hard. I know I'm not the only one who dreads just sitting in my dorm room with my friends, and sometimes we need a change of scenery from our usual hang-out spots. I compiled the perfect list of fall dates for you and your friends or significant others.
Go Apple or Pumpkin Picking
It's one of my favorite things to do. The experience of the crisp fall air and the beauty of the apple orchards or pumpkin patches is unlike any other.
Plus, you can usually do this for a relatively cheap price. Bonus points if you go to a local farm. Support your small businesses!
Have a Fall Photoshoot
Another one of my favorite things about fall is the fashion. I'm a sucker for sweaters, leggings and my favorite Doc Martens. Your iPhone works great, or a polaroid camera goes perfectly with the season!
Drive to your local pumpkin patch, farm or just walk around your area. There are so many cool places to take pictures.
Pumpkin Painting
This is a great solution if you live in a dorm or apartment building and don't want or can't have an actual rotting, live pumpkin out for the entire month of October. Jack-o-lanterns are fun, but you can always buy the Styrofoam ones from Michael's and paint them. Have a contest with your friends or turn on your favorite Halloween-themed movie and go nuts.
Scary Movie Drive-In
This can still work if you don't have a drive-in theater near you. I was lucky enough to grow up 30 minutes away from an actual drive-in, where I could go hang out with my friends. But there's nothing wrong with building a fort in your living room or just hanging out in bed under the covers. The important thing here is the scary movies.
Go Out for Brunch or Bagels
If "Sex and the City" has taught us anything, it's that you can never go wrong with brunch with your friends. Bypass the mimosas and go for apple cider. Or if you're over 21, drink as many mimosas as you please.
Either way, I know I love bacon, egg and cheese bagels. And I will never say no to lazy Sundays with bagels and my friends.
Bowling
I always forget how much fun this is until I'm invited to do it for a group-bonding activity. Cosmic bowling takes me back to my middle school days, but I still find singing to classics with my friends and laughing at my subpar bowling skills fun. Don't @ me.
Bake Halloween Cookies
My grandma makes those Pillsbury sugar cookies with the cartoons on them for every single season. As the years go by and they add more graphics, she still doesn't get tired of buying them and baking them for us and the kids she teaches at her Sunday school classes.
Do it for grandma. Bake the cookies.
Go Thrift Shopping
This can be as cheap or expensive as you want it to be. I have a fear of trying things on in thrift stores, but I love buying XXL shirts from the adult-men section and making them into crop tops — then washing them three times before I consider them wearable.
It's fashion. Or laziness. Either way, now I have an outfit to go pumpkin picking in or to wear at my fall photoshoot.
Paint and Sip
I, like many of my friends, am underage. My mom has gone to those wine-and-paint parties, and they look super fun. I'm deciding to take it up a notch and do a cider-and-paint party.
Most towns have these studios, or you can invite your friends over and throw one yourself. They're super fun, and you get art to take home afterward!
Go on a Coffee Tour
Or a hot chocolate tour. I'm a big coffeehouse person, and I'm always looking for an excuse to drink as much coffee as I can in a 24-hour period. It keeps you inside, and the aesthetic of coffee houses is very pleasing.
Decorate Your Dorm or Home
You don't have to spend money on this! You can draw some pumpkins on computer paper, cut them out and tape them up. Or you can be extra like my roommates, buy a light box and put "It's freakin bats… I love Halloween" on it. You can buy skeleton decorations for your TV. It's up to you.
