Being an Auburn student, we meet many people on our campus. One student, in particular, Jordan, has a not-so-secret youtube past. Under the alias, Doglover199709, she swept youtube nation by storm by dancing to various popular songs of the time in 2009.
If you need a visual reminder, this is our youtube queen:
Thankfully, I am actually friends with her, and she is probably one of the best people on this campus, aside from her youtube alter ego. This is her now!!
Jordan has agreed to sit down and answer some questions I know all of her fans have been dying to know!
1. Being an adult now, when you look back at these videos, how do they make you feel?
Looking back on my videos, I'm not gonna lie I get a little embarrassed sometimes but then I think about the joy it brings other people and just laugh about it. It reminds me of simpler times when us kids had nothing to worry about and watched YouTube in our free time for entertainment.
2. What made you want to create videos for YouTube as a child?
Ahhh, the question that always gets asked... Well truthfully, it was inspired by my brother. He and his friend made a YouTube video of them dancing and lip syncing in their room together (not as good as me) and I was like "I got a camera, I like to dance, why not?" So I turned on Hannah Montana and did what you guys see today!
3. Do people recognize you today?
Yes, people still recognize me today. I was taking my dog out the other day and someone asked if I was 'The girl from YouTube'. When I first got to college it spread like wildfire and it was honestly really funny to me that people still FREAK out over it
4. Where are you now and what do you do?
I am currently a junior at Auburn University majoring in Wildlife Ecology & Management and I still love dogs and going on adventures!
5. Probably what we are wondering, how does it feel to be known as Doglover199709?
Being Doglover199709 is no different than being Jordan. I'm still the carefree girl who will dance to just about ANY song if it's got a good beat with it.
