To Nicolette Gray, Dr. Phil's Latest Spoiled Teen From Beverly Hills

You're ignoring of the advice you were given and continuing down this path you're on is doing you more harm than good.

Dear Nicolette Gray,

When I saw clips of you on The Dr. Phil Show on my YouTube recommended list, I decided to check them out, thinking you were going to be the next "Cash Me Outside" girl who becomes famous because of the outrageous things she says while on the show. While watching, I sympathized with the issues you struggled with, and genuinely wished you an emotionally fulfilling life.

Then I decided to check out your Instagram page, and in my opinion, you're ignoring of the advice you were given and continuing down this path you're on is doing you more harm than good.

Being a YouTuber might get lonely. You might think these people are your friends but they're most likely only hanging out with you (and posting about it every single time) for collabs and to gain more fame.

Unless you know that on the inside that these people are only using you and your only friends are (sad enough) your bags. Which is a shame because I truly wanted you to go to school and, in the words of Mean Girls: the Musicals' Cady Heron, "make human friends" that you can vent to and have fun with.

You're entering an industry that can be fake and although people like Lilly Singh (Superwoman) and Colleen Ballinger (Miranda Sings) have found true friendships in it, you're entering it in a time in your life in which you need genuine relationships more than ever. I know you're trying to capitalize on your fame to make the money you so desperately want for the designer stuff you can't live without, but try to make it to a physical school soon.

I believe an education will do you good because you'll see that you have more worth than what you have and what you look like. Your brain and what you do matters, even if society does not make it seem that way. And you can make fun and crazy memories with people that can hopefully cause you to become close to them and you can have real friends. I promise not all people are bad; you just have to find the right ones.

And give your mom a car already, OK? She doesn't want a Chanel bag; she wants not to have to take the bus while you drive a G Wagon (a type of Mercedes car). She's the one with a job, not you. I have a soft spot for you because I know you're a good person on the inside and I know you can do good in the world and contribute more to society than just pictures of you with your things.

Becoming a YouTuber will only reinforce the idea that without your expensive car, bags, and shoes you are nothing. You are worthless. You need them to mean anything. College can teach you that there's more to you than that, and it's a part of you worth exploring.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
