I was inspired by comedy channels. I loved that they got to do sketches and could be funny and crude and make people laugh. But most of those channels, if not all of them, were done by guys. ”

I'm always thinking about the viewers. ”

My channel is really a positive outlet for people to come every day after school. I make my videos so that people can have something happy to turn to - a positive message. I'm making it okay to talk about stuff. ”

A lot of girls on YouTube want to show their personality, but they are afraid because they think people only want them to do beauty videos. That's just not true. ”

I think it is great that there are influencers like myself who are true and authentic and let their personalities shine through. I encourage that in my fans. ”

I post less-than-flattering selfies and don't try to change who I am to make people like me. I try to show people that they don't have to be afraid to show their goofy side. ”

I take the time to understand my generation and what they want. Whether it's on Tumblr, Pinterest, or Twitter, I see what they are re-Vining or re-blogging and incorporate it into my YouTube channel. ”

My dad grew up as a computer programmer, so he always had random computer software, and I started opening up editing software at age 12 and figuring out how to build websites. ”

I was hanging out with some of my friends who are on television shows, and when we went to get lunch, people came up to me and not them. It was this really weird moment where you're realizing that the digital world is getting so big, and it's colliding with everything else. ”

If you're going somewhere international, try to learn a little bit of the language. It goes a long way to be able to introduce yourself, ask for things, and even say hello to someone in a new country! ”
