Opening Up About How Social Media Affects Me (& You) Psychologically
This past spring I took a Communications class on interpersonal relationships. My lectures focused on how we interact with and communicate with others, including our interactions through social media.

The photos in this post are intended to enhance my point- because they are all totally staged. I’ll talk more about it later, but to me, my…

How I Take & Get Inspiration for Instagram Photos
Set-Up As many of y’all know if you watch my Instagram stories, I take most of my blog and Instagram photos all by myself!

How to Get more YouTube Views
As many of you probably know, YouTube is changing their monetization rules and taking the privilege of having ads on our videos away from us smaller YouTubers by now basing their threshold on how many subscribers you have and the amount of minute view duration rather than the amount of views in general like it used to.

PROM: My dress picks, what I wore to my proms, my hair and nails, & more!

Theses are the four pink dresses I liked the most: Looking at them now, I almost hate them all. The one farthest to the left was beautiful, but was a little more expensive than I was looking for and I wasn’t sure on the fit. Looking at this one now, I am remembering another one I tried on.

How I Chose my Roommate
Pretty soon upcoming students will be receiving acceptance letters and beginning to prepare for their college experience.
