James Charles Lost 3 Million Fans, But I'm Still On His Side

I'm pretty sure we are all aware of the drama that has been going on between James Charles and Tati Westbrook. I usually ignore these things, as they are fairly insignificant and I normally have more important things happening in my life. This specific incident piqued my interest because of the significant impact that it has had on James Charles' career. He has lost over 3 million subscribers since it came out.

I have always appreciated his art. He is without a doubt talented. I don't subscribe to his YouTube channel or anything, but every once in a while I will watch a couple of his videos and sit there in awe of his artistic creations. One thing that I kept in mind while watching Tati's video exposing James was that he is my age. If I randomly and suddenly shot to fame, I know I would get a big head.

As much as anyone tries to avoid it, fame and fortune go right to your head.

The fact that the entire thing started with James posting a picture that featured Sugar Bear Hair gummies really got my goat. I am all for supporting friends and their businesses, but I don't think that if one of your friends' supports a rival company that it justifies calling him out as she did. A couple of screenshots of text messages were just released showing that he asked for the security to cover him at Coachella, but to me, those don't change anything. I just think of what a mess he must be right now. His whole career is crumbling apart, his friends don't trust him, and everything he built his life on these past few years is disappearing.

We are all human. We all make mistakes.

It's understandable that he got a big head when he shot to fame and that he got cocky (no pun intended). He said things that he shouldn't have and he probably did things he shouldn't have, but the whole world seems to be against him right now and it makes me feel for him. I can't open up social media without seeing a joke about his career falling apart or making fun of his apology. I'm not saying he is totally in the right, I'm just saying that we need to put the situation in perspective.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
