Elyse Willems Is A Role Model And We Need To Admit That
YouTube

I am in no way a gamer girl.

As a child, I played Nintendogs, half of Super Mario Sunshine and just about every Animal Crossing game ever released. I've beaten all of two games in my entire life and it took me months to get around to finishing them. I am not a gamer.

With this said, I have somehow grown quite fond of the video game YouTube channel Funhaus -- more so, their editor Elyse Willems.

If you watch some of Funhaus' content, it's easy to see what makes Elyse a likable person. She's able to control the moment with her wits and humor, and make videos extremely memorable, just by being herself. She really stands out from the male dominant group she works with, but she seems to fit in so perfectly.

In such a short time of watching Funhaus and growing to love Elyse Willems, I grew to view her as a role model.

It's not a surprise that Elyse is an incredibly funny person. There are close to 15 videos on YouTube which are just compilations of some of her funniest moments.

If I could have Elyse's humor, I would take it in a heartbeat. I could only dream of being as funny as she is.

Elyse is able to make some really weird jokes and be totally out-there, but everyone loves her for it. It's a part of who she is and it's celebrated by fans.

Elyse is able to stand out not just for her humor, but her field. It's not a shock that the field of gaming is dominated by men, and yet she's so successful.

Rooster Teeth -- the parent company of Funhaus -- is a large and well-known name within the video game community. They have several Youtube channels, most of which revolve around gaming. Elyse being a part of one of those channels, and already a being a very stand-out character is pretty recognizable.

There is a weird trend among female video game streamers where they sexualize themselves to get money and views. It means a lot of female gamers are being taken less seriously.

This isn't the case for Elyse.

Elyse continues to stay genuine and be known, simply for being herself. She catches the eye of anyone who watches and never pulls things just for the sake of attention.

Elyse Willems is a gem.

She is funny, beautiful, empowering, and true to herself. She cares for her friends, her husband and let's not forget, the cutest dog ever, Benson.

Elyse Willems is the woman I strive to be in life, and should be a role model for women everywhere. Her confidence and liveliness has the power to inspire. She is one powerhouse of a gal.

Here's to you Elyse: thank you for being you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
