Why I Vlog

I'm starting something new, and here's why...

Why I Vlog
Gianna Beasley

As I launch my YouTube channel this week, a question I've gotten from a lot of people is: why are you vlogging? Well the answer is pretty simple... I'm vlogging for myself.

I strongly believe that everyone is put on this earth because we all have something different to say. Some people go through horrific things in life but then are given the opportunity to take that experience and help others. Other people take their family, job, or school experiences and use those to help other people. I believe that there is merit to what I have to say and there's nothing more that I enjoy than helping other people so if my vlogs can help or inspire even one person, that's more than enough for me.

Outside of vlogging with the hopes of helping or inspiring others, I'm using it as a tool to document my life and my progress. Whether that be vlogs of my travels or vlogs of my fitness journey.

When I first started talking about starting my own YouTube channel and vlogging my life, there was a lot of criticism and not a lot of support. People would say to me "why would you do that? You don't have thousands of followers." Well I don't care about the followers! Sure, I would like to reach as many people as possible with my vlogs but at the same time I'm not going to obsess over the number of people who subscribe to my channel or watch my vlogs. If people want to watch them, great! If people don't care or want to watch, that's their choice! All I know is I'm excited to share my passions and life with those who want to see it.

So without boring you for too much longer... basically what I'm saying here is that I'm vlogging now with the hopes of sharing my unique experiences in hopes that you can enjoy them and learn from them too. Everyday holds new adventures and opportunities and my goal is to be as transparent as possible with everything that I go through! My journey of vlogging is just beginning and I can't wait to see where it will take me in the future. There will be highs and there will be lows, but everyday and every obstacle that's thrown my way will make me a better and stronger person!

If you feel so inclined to start this journey with me and keep up with my travels and fitness adventures, follow me on social media (@giannabeas) and subscribe to my Youtube channel to make sure you don't miss a video! My YouTube channel can be found here. I hope you all join me on this journey and enjoy my sometimes awkward and usually clumsy self! Let me know if you're joining me on my journey!

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
