What comes to mind when I say YouTube?

Perhaps, David Dobrik? What about vine compilations? Maybe a beauty-guru here and there?

I am here to advocate for a subset of YouTube, and, more specifically, my favorite YouTuber: small vloggers and Maggie MacDonald. For anyone who is active on the internet, the term "small vlogger" is pretty self-explanatory; however, for those who are not, a small vlogger is a YouTuber who posts content that pertains to everyday life in the form of "video blogs" (hence, vlog) without the massive following of the Shane Dawson's and David Dobrik's of the web. Maggie MacDonald is my favorite YouTuber. From travel vlogs to workout routines, Maggie posts content that is relatable, entertaining, and inspiring. Here are a few reasons why you should hit subscribe.

#1: Realistic Depiction of College

I know a few larger YouTubers go to university full time, but their lives are drastically different from most of their peers. I find that watching some "Daily College" vlogs are not accurate or relatable to myself or the majority of college students. I appreciate Maggie's honesty about balancing her academics, workouts, social life, and YouTube responsibilities. Currently, Maggie is a senior at Bridgewater State University in Boston, Massachusetts, where she studies marketing. Obviously, she is not an average college student; yet, she still is as normal as any YouTuber who is studying at university. She takes final exams, rushes to class, and dedicates time to her homework.

#2: She is Motivating

When I watch YouTube, I usually am procrastinating or avoiding completing my assignments. Moreover, when I am watching YouTube, I am typically watching one of Maggie's vlogs (ask any of my suitemates about this--it is 100% true). Maggie has a positive attitude that is infectious. Her drive to get things done motivates me to hit pause and conquer something on my to-do list.

#3: Healthy. Lifestyle.

I like to think that I lead a healthy life. I workout at least three times per week, I eat a balanced diet, and I make sure to get enough sleep every night. I appreciate when others advocate and educate others on health and fitness. Maggie does this well, and I always find myself inspired to go on a quick run or run to a SoulCycle class after watching one of her vlogs. She also takes time to educate her viewers on cool healthy brands that use clean ingredients. Her expertise does not end at fitness. Maggie often shares some of her favorite self-care tips and ways to unwind in vlogs.

Overall, having a positive influence who inspires you to be the best version of yourself is immensely important.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
