Tips for Staying Positive

It's officially October now which means one thing for those of us in school: midterms. Well, midterms, essays, and overall high stress levels.

It's … Continue reading Tips for Staying Positive

Big Dreams, Little Goals

Mondays aren't always our best, most productive days, are they? We wake up sad that the weekend has ended and grudgingly head back to school or work.

Things to Remember

Go ahead, pick sides. There's no wrong answers. I can't tell you who you are. I can, however, tell … Continue reading Learning Skills for Success

A Mid-Summer Assessment

I am just over halfway done with my two month summer, and as I've been reading the section in Grace's Guide (by Grace Helbig) on how to work hard in the professional world, it seems important that I see just how well I've been doing on those summer goals...(I'm honestly not looking forward to this). … Continue reading A Mid-Summer Assessment

9 Things I Learned At Vidcon

This last weekend I had the pleasure of attending vidcon for the first time, and it was AMAZING. I chose the brand new creator track, which meant I got to go to special panels about being a better youtuber in addition to the larger community events like q&a's and social issue panels. It was three … Continue reading 9 Things I Learned At Vidcon
