Lanay Loves going YOUTUBE!!!!!!

  It's been a long time of thought, doubt, and more thoughts. I've been wanting to  do YouTube videos since middle school and now I'm going to college and I've grown some gutts to follow my heart! Watching YouTube, the different personalities, races, people, or attitudes is both inspiring and discouraging. You see some people who are very good at YouTube, best cameras, high tech lighting, and they are "ON". You think they woke up being perfect or having the perfect ideas or the best equipment...WRONG.. Everyone has to start somewhere! 

  I'm starting from the very bottom with hopes that this will be a very fun experience. I have brought lighting and now I am waiting to buy my camera. I figure I'll start my channel off with a dorm haul, Vlog move in day, my first college party and a dorm room tour. A lot of college things will be edited and published first because this will be around the time I buy my computer and camera. I am mentally trying to prepare myself to stay committed to doing YouTube while I'm at school. I'm a very social person so I plan to be active on campus, focused on academics, and working. I have already put in my planner the times I need to set aside for editing and recording in my planner. I have many really good ideas in store for you all. I will be using my social media platform to help promote my channel ( @Lanaylovee) as well as my blog, I also plan to blog more often in school. Hopefully my life will be a little more interesting LOL! 

 If any one reading this wants to start a YouTube, I advice you to start now and don't let so much time pass by like I did. I was really scared that people might not like me, I didn't have a computer or camera... Many excuses but I really could've made it happen...JUST DO IT.

July 23, 2016

It's 12:30 am....WOW is July 23 finally over. Today was very tough. I use tough because I had several up and down moments.

 I'll start by saying ( to my young viewers) transitioning from high school to college is no easy task. EVERYTHING is in order for me, I literally made sure I was on my A game senior year so I wouldn't be a stressed out college student.  Yet, STILL I am here.  This is showing me money is not everything. I have a full ride to Michigan state university and I am highly blessed that I will not have to take out loans for school. With that all said I am still not necessarily "happy". Life takes me through loops and NO I'm not perfect . I do not want to sound greedy to my viewers or even weak. Dealing with a job and disrespect from employers, a different type of family who never had to do a transition like this , people who don't understand me, being single& letting go of someone who you once loved, handeling social media and expectations of my blog/viewers, and still trying to be sane and at peace. ITS. HARD! I remember thinking my first heart break was hard, like no that was not nothing compared to this feeling. Oh my g*ddddd. Hmmmm, I can smell overwhelmed right now. That's why I don't blog as much as I would like too, sometimes I feel like my 24 hours are harder than others. I know college will  be my start of a new life mentally, physically, and financially. I am starting my Vlog and YouTube channel. So I will have more to juggle with in my 24 hours. I just feel like when you're young and life is really being thrown on your shoulders all while still telling your self " YOU'RE YOUNG"... It is very stressful. 

TIPS to myself : Pray, use journal, confine in a good friend or mate, be calm...It'll work out.....

Let's try again tomorrow
