We As Young Adults Can Become Millionaires Through Social Media  As Evident By The Vlogsquad

Teens and young adults are making millions of dollars by posting on this social media site that has been around as long as I can remember.

When I was younger, and computers/laptops were a fairly new thing, YouTube was invented. I would sit and watch music videos to learn the lyrics to my new favorite Beyoncé or Fergie songs. My brothers would watch voice-overs of video games and Lego-man videos, just for pure entertainment.

Now, people are gaining fame and fortune merely by posting different kinds of videos to YouTube. There are makeup tutorials, people telling stories about themselves, and some even doing hilarious pranks and tricks.

I have been watching David Dobrik and his friends, formally known as the "Vlogsquad," for a few months now. They video their daily lives, which I must say are a little bit more eventful than the average young adult, and upload the videos to YouTube. They do bits like riding a bike off a ramp into the pool, buying an entire head-to-toe outfit from Gucci, and surprising their friends with brand new cars and trips to Vegas. The group is absolutely hilarious, so it is no wonder they are so popular, most of them having millions of subscribers on YouTube.

I don't know exactly how the business side of this works, like if they get paid per view of each video, or for featuring different brands in their videos. But, something they're doing is right. They all have very nice cars, including Teslas and Range Rovers, big houses in LA, and tons of designer brand clothes. Jason Nash even surprised his girlfriend with $10,000 Hamilton tickets!

David Dobrik, the leader of the Vlogsquad, is estimated to be worth around $4 million. As a 22-year-old immigrant from Slovakia, that is pretty amazing. All of his coworkers/friends are worth just below if not the same as him, and they all achieved this fame and fortune by being funny and uploading their life to YouTube. So, to all you teens/young adults out there looking for extra money, get your funny on, pick up your cameras, and start filming.

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
