My One-On-One With Internet Star Michaela Okland

Michaela Okland is an internet sensation on both Instagram and Twitter. With nearly 100,000 followers on Twitter and nearly 30,000 followers on Instagram, Michaela Okland has love from all over social media. Being an avid user on every social media site possible, I have always been a Michaela stan. Okay, I was a little starstruck when she answered my DM and graciously agreed to answer some questions for me so I could write this article. Anyways, here are the answers I received to the most burning questions you'd want to ask.

How long have you been on Twitter for/How long have you been "Twitter famous"?

"I've been on Twitter since high school, probably like 2013ish. I think I hit 10k followers around late January of 2018 probably but I'm not sure when exactly you cross the realm of 'twitter famous' hahahaha"

Are you friends with the other Twitter-famous that you regularly interact with on Twitter in real life?

"Viking went to ASU where I attend so we've hung out a lot. I've hung out with Kellen, Gracie Hoos, and others. Ellie (Schnitt) and I text every day and FaceTime a lot but we haven't gotten to hang out yet since I haven't made my way to New York the last year, but we plan to once she has a door."

Do you make money off of your twitter account?

"Yes! But that's only been a recent thing."

What are your thoughts on the sudden success of your new Twitter account @SheRatesDogs?

"I'm excited about it! I didn't expect it at all, I thought I was gonna use the account for a few days then get bored but it's passed my personal in followers now and averages about 2,000-3,000 a day"

How do you get inspiration for your content?

"For my personal account it was always just whatever thoughts popped into my head that felt relatable. For SheRatesDogs it's obviously other people's experiences that I think happen to everyone and need to be talked about more. I try to keep that account funny even though a lot of it is also just spreading awareness"

Favorite social media besides Twitter?

"I had Instagram followers before I had Twitter followers, I just don't love it as much! I'd say Instagram because I rarely use Facebook or Snapchat now."

Do you get recognized when you go out?

"If I'm in Arizona. Sometimes it'll be normal like when I'm getting food or at work but other times it's been like in the middle of getting a wax and the girl will say 'so you're that person from twitter right??' And I'm like ah ya glad u know who I am while I'm entirely vulnerable like this"

Do the guys you date follow you on Twitter? 

"Hmmm I'd say it's half and half. I don't date a ton but there's been a pretty decent mixture of like they either don't have Twitter at all, they don't really use it, or they're just as active on it as I am."

Thoughts on this upcoming season of The Bachelor? Other Favorite Shows?

"Ugh I love the bachelor and all of its subsequent shows. The Bachelorette is my favorite. So many of the girls are adorable this season I can't wait to turn my brain off for a couple hours every week. My favorite show is Game of Thrones and I'm stoked for that. Also really excited for Stranger Things this year"

 Favorite band/musician currently?

"Ariana Grande stream Sweetener stream Thank U Next"

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
