Sorry, not sorry.

Unpopular Opinion, But Your YouTube Vlog Is Probably A Waste Of Time

Every time the topic of YouTube vlogs come up, I am lost. I barely know any YouTubers, vlogs or anything along those lines. I don't watch them ever. People always tell me I should check out certain channels or stars but I just can't get on the wave. When I tell people that I don't have an appreciation for it, they are shocked, but I am okay with not watching them.

To me, YouTube vlogs are a waste of time.

Hear me out. I know I may be shunned by others for this, but why would you waste your time watching someone else's life? I don't get why people care so much about what others are doing in their lives. Why care? Wouldn't you rather be doing something else that benefits your goals in life?

Here's a huge problem I have with vlogs... they are unrealistic. No one vlogs about the bad times in their lives because people don't want to see that. People want to see the happy go lucky stuff and that is not how life is all the time. Of course, you want to show off the good stuff happening in your life, but no one goes running around telling people all the crappy stuff that is happening in their life?

I'm sorry, but who cares?

This just is my personal opinion obviously. Maybe it's because I wasn't raised like that or maybe it is a generation thing, but I don't get it. It just seems incredibly pointless and a waste of time to me. Sorry, not sorry. Why waste your time idolizing others lives when you can idolize yourself?

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.

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.
