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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
