Shane Dawson's 8 Part Series About Jake Paul Deserves A Chance

Just because you don't like Jake Paul, don't automatically assume what it is going to be about

So, if you have been living under a rock for the past ten years, let me fill you in. Shane Dawson is one of YouTube's Biggest, and oldest content creators. He has been a YouTube presence since around 2008, and a good majority of people my age grew up watching his many earlier videos. He's well known for his many different "characters", his Vlogs, and his music.

Lately, he's been doing these series where he tries to get behind or really understand some of YouTube's most controversial creators. He's done a series about Jeffrey Star who is one of YouTube's most well-known beauty gurus and one about the most failed attempt at getting back at Vidcon, Tanacon. Both series explore what really went on or what is going on behind the scenes of the videos, and news reports. So, Shane has become more of a journalist/detective type channel over the years.

I personally have always loved Shane's Content, and I was a bit reluctant when he came out saying that his next eight-part series was going to be about one of the most talked about YouTubers who most ten-year old's idolize, Jake Paul.

He has had a ton of backlash where people are saying that they refuse to watch the series because of Jake being in it, and at the beginning of the video Shane shows a clip of a voicemail Jake left him basically saying that it was going to get rough because of how many people genuinely dislike him (Jake). I myself am no Jake Paul fan, but I am excited to see how Shane gets his point across and how this series is really going to end.

I have been waiting to watch the first part for what feels like forever and when I watched it, it ended up making me want more. The interview Shane has with a YouTuber who goes by the YouTube handle of iNabber, goes into some basic questions that Shane really wants to get some answers on, and just get the "why" out of why Jake does what he does. Shane ends up even asking himself if Jake is doing the whole thing just for views. So, unlike the other series, Shane isn't going in this trying to give Jake the benefit of the doubt.

Granted Jake wouldn't be okay with this series if he didn't want this to air, so at least both parties are understanding of each other, but it still isn't going to be painting Jake Paul as a saint like everyone thinks Shane will do. It's obvious by the first episode that Shane is genuinely curious and even nervous to get to do this whole series.

Also, you can tell by the way the trailer and first episode really speak for themselves, and a big portion of it is because his editor and cameraman, Andrew, is super good at editing everything together to make things work. Regardless, Shane is going to be bringing a masterpiece of a series and it will be what he refers to as a "Roller-coaster". So, I guess let's buckle up, sit back and enjoy.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
