Televisions and movies for the longest time has been one of the main sources of entertainment for years. However with the growing Youtube community it is becoming easier to watch what you enjoy. Youtube offers several genres of video in a variety of lengths. Youtube also creates a way to connect with people that enjoy the same thing, and also the creators. The Youtube Community creates an environment that people can build relationships and let their creativity flow.

Youtubers, people who create on Youtube, are one of the most important aspects of the community. Youtubers lead their community and build a more personal connection with their viewers compared to regular television/movies.

Jacksepticeye, one of my favorite creators, is very good at connecting with his viewers. Jack( Sean)'s channel is mostly gaming with some other type of videos later on. He uploads twice a day, and comments on every video. He also uses other platforms, such as Tumblr, to share fan edits/art. He does vlogs where he catches his viewers up on what is new in his life, does "Reading your Comments" videos where he answers our questions and connects with us. He has always been kind to his viewers and works incredibly hard to provide new videos everyday on time.

Another great youtuber is Markiplier. He is also a gaming channel, with a big focus on charity. He has worked with many different charities by doing really long livestreams were he plays games and encourage people to donate money. He also works really hard on making sure that both videos get released on the same day.

Lastly, two youtubers seem to have taken this world by storm recently. They released a book, a tour, and now two movies based on the tour. They also have released a song for charity and have another book on the way. Amazing Phil and Danisnotonfire are creators that took their Youtube channels pushed them in to the real world in really unique ways. They still connect to their viewers and work extremely hard on making their projects completely them.

The creators aren't just the only people involved in this community. The viewers themselves is what makes the community as great as it can be. They connect with other fans and build a support system for the viewers but also the youtubers. They make amazing fan art and wait in line for hours just to meet the creators. Without either of these sides there wouldn't be much of a community.

Youtube has become a form of entertainment for millions of people. People watch what they want, when they want. They connect with other viewers and the creators. People become happier and more creative through Youtube, which makes it one of the best forms of media in this day and age.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
