Shane Dawson Doesn't Deserve Backlash For New Docuseries

Shane Dawson, a popular YouTuber, has recently released the first 2 parts of his 8-part series, "The Mind of Jake Paul," who just so happens to be one of the most controversial YouTubers of this time.

I can imagine many other Shane fans had the same reaction that I did when we found out who his new series was about. I had seen plenty of Jake Paul, and I wasn't wanting to see any more.

My immediate worry was that with this series, Shane was going down the same path as he had with other YouTubers where he used his platform to reveal their stories.

I was not interested in hearing Jake Paul make up excuses for his behavior and I didn't want these videos trying to make me feel bad for him.

But after viewing the first two parts, I realized that was not the case at all. Shane is completely aware of the potential consequences of his posting of this series, he says so in the first part of his video.

But he still chooses to pursue it anyway, because he's curious.

That's why I respect Shane and his content so much. He takes risks because he wants to really know the truth. He's not going after views, he knows he may even lose subscribers from having Jake in his videos.

He's genuinely curious as to what happened to Jake to make him act the way he does. So, he's doing everything he can to get to the bottom of it.

From being a Shane fan for the past few years, I know he is one of the most real and genuine YouTubers I've ever seen. He doesn't put on a fake personality like it's so easy to do on such a huge entertainment platform.

He is real, and he cares so much about helping others.

That's why I can't comprehend why so many people are getting mad at Shane for this. So many people are threatening to unsubscribe from his channel, or just voicing how upset they are at Shane for even doing this.

Nobody is interested in hearing Shane give Jake Paul a redemption arc.

But Shane isn't going for that. He's trying to get down to the bottom of why Jake is the way that he is and even begins to dive into sociopathic issues. Not even just with Jake himself, but also with YouTubers in general.

Therefore, it seems like it'll be a lot deeper and a lot more interesting than just hours of Jake explaining his reckless behavior. Shane genuinely has me interested with only 2 parts out and I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

Hopefully, others feel the same and stop giving Shane so much hate for this series.

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.

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.
