Unpopular Opinion, But Your YouTube Vlog Is Probably A Waste Of Time

Every time the topic of YouTube vlogs come up, I am lost. I barely know any YouTubers, vlogs or anything along those lines. I don't watch them ever. People always tell me I should check out certain channels or stars but I just can't get on the wave. When I tell people that I don't have an appreciation for it, they are shocked, but I am okay with not watching them.

To me, YouTube vlogs are a waste of time.

Hear me out. I know I may be shunned by others for this, but why would you waste your time watching someone else's life? I don't get why people care so much about what others are doing in their lives. Why care? Wouldn't you rather be doing something else that benefits your goals in life?

Here's a huge problem I have with vlogs... they are unrealistic. No one vlogs about the bad times in their lives because people don't want to see that. People want to see the happy go lucky stuff and that is not how life is all the time. Of course, you want to show off the good stuff happening in your life, but no one goes running around telling people all the crappy stuff that is happening in their life?

I'm sorry, but who cares?

This just is my personal opinion obviously. Maybe it's because I wasn't raised like that or maybe it is a generation thing, but I don't get it. It just seems incredibly pointless and a waste of time to me. Sorry, not sorry. Why waste your time idolizing others lives when you can idolize yourself?

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
