I have tried writing four different blog posts already, all of which I have given up on from either thinking it’s a dumb idea or from getting side tracked with something else. I haven’t been able to really finish any projects recently. I think I’d like this first actual blog post with no video involved to be about why I wanted to make a blog and Youtube channel in the first place.
2015 was the best year of my life. I graduated high school, got into my number one choice college, went there for a year, made some of the best friends of my life, and went home to Cape Cod happily in hopes of going back to college this year. But I didn’t. I don’t want to go into detail but I definitely could not continue because of financial reasons. College is expensive, especially by yourself.
Now here I am, living with my boyfriend and his dad in their house. I work Monday through Friday making coffee and sandwiches for people that treat me like I am the gum on the bottom of their shoe. I have a part time job doing graphic design so at least I have something I enjoy still in my life. I hangout with some friends, at least the people that aren’t away at college or working every day.
Life is not exciting right now. I have always watched videos made by Youtubers and dreamed of making videos just like them. I wanted to be positive and talk about veganism and everything else I am passionate about in my life. So now that I am in this sort of stand by mode in my life where I just work and do nothing, I figured why not teach myself how to do some video editing, get myself a cheap camera, and start vlogging / making videos. I feel like at this point, it can be something fun to do and keep me motivated instead of just coming home after work, designing for my boss, and then sleeping.
The only problem is that as stated earlier, life isn’t too exciting right now. I tried vlogging and like I say in my vlogs, it’s hard to find stuff to do that I actually want to vlog about. So I want to start making some planned videos too. Even some with friends. So stay tuned.
Alright, stay cool.
