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.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
