A New Hobby for Crime Show Lovers Like Myself

I know one of the most popular themes of TV shows these days is crime. I have seen all of Law & Order SVU, Criminal Minds, Dexter, Blue Bloods, and much, much more. You name it, I've binged it. But now, after finishing what's on Netflix and catching up to real time on cable, what do I do?

Recently I have been spending my TV time on YouTube, watching "vloggers" like Emma Chamberlain, David Dobrik, Olivia Jade, Tana Mongeau, and many more like this. While going through these strings of videos, I came across a girl named Kendall Rae.

Kendall Rae's YouTube page includes a lot of personal stories, which is what we look for in these YouTube stars. But, she also takes a very big interest in non-fiction crime. She does segments including "true crime," where she talks about interesting cases, "found," where she talks about people who have been missing for a long time and they are reunited with their family, and "where is…," where she raises awareness for cases where kids have gone missing and still have yet to be found.

Each video is about twenty to thirty minutes long, so about half of a crime show on Netflix. And, every story is real, which makes it more interesting in my opinion. After watching one of Kendall Rae's videos, I go research the cases and what happened in court (if the case made it this far) to study real-life examples and learn more about my potential future career.

Kendall Rae tells the stories in a very organized, in-depth manner, making it very easy to understand and pay attention to. She uses vocabulary that everyone will understand, not only crime fanatics or people who have been studying crime for long periods of time. The videos are extremely entertaining and informative, and I applaud Kendall for this.

April Ludgate

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
