My Top Favorite YouTube Channels

-

       ❖❖❖ 

          One of my favorite things to do is make a cup of coffee and sit down with my phone or laptop, and pull up YouTube. Even though I don't actually make videos--or post anything at all--I LOVE watching other peoples' videos. A common question those close to me ask is, "what do you watch?" I've compiled a list of my favorite YouTube channels I view on a regular basis. 

           Keep in mind, I'm subscribed to a variety of channels which post different content...check out my go-to YT creators!

       Lifestyle Videos

            Kalyn Nicholson 

          I've been following Kalyn for a few years now, and I love her channel! She does everything from vlog-style "Coffee Talks," advice and Q&As, DIYs and How-Tos, style and beauty videos, and takes us with her around her apartment in Toronto. I always find something encouraging on Kalyn's channel, and she preaches embracing change, fear, and success... all the things I'm feeling in my life right now. Follow her vlog channel, too, More Of Kalyn on YouTube!

          Cambria Joy

          This channel is my go-to for a pick-me-up. Cambria is a beauty and lifestyle vlogger out of California, and her content is some of the most comprehensive, helpful, and genuine that I've seen. On her channel, find videos that will help motivate you to get healthy the right way, as well routine videos, healthy recipes, and boosts of confidence! She also hosts a vlog channel called CambriaJoyVlogs! 

          Ingrid Nilsen 

          AKA missglamorazzi, Ingrid is a lifestyle YouTuber with a host of helpful videos about health, sexuality, positivity, routines, and beauty tutorials. The channel features her fluffy cat, Nugget, and the occasional cheesy punchline. This channel is a must-add to your subscription list if you want original content!

          Megan Parken

          Previously meganheartsmakeup for those of us who have followed her since the beginning in early 2012, Megan is a creator who makes videos about everything beauty, advice, travel, and personal stories. She is down-to-earth and her videos are so comforting--it's always nice to know a twenty-something woman is going through the same things and having the same thoughts as I am! 

          Nicole Guerriero

          Nicole's channel has become very vlog-heavy, and I am in love! A previously beauty-only YouTuber, she now posts vlogs where we sing in the car with her, and watch her cats hop around the camera lens while she films. She's beautiful, successful, and strong... the perfect motivator for bad days!

          Sarah Rae Vargas

          Talk about inspirational! Sarah is a mom of two with a sassy attitude and a dedication to making videos about fashion, sexual health, beauty, and body positivity. We see her vlog with her kids, her family, and she has so many helpful advice playlists. A great channel from a hilarious lady!

          Katherout

          Katherine Barry is a college vlogger and YouTuber who motivates and inspires students to have fun at school and work hard. She's got study tips, job and interview advice, everyday vlogs, and was a major source of comfort and information for me when I was in college! Plus, her channel name is too punny.

          Comedy

          Good Mythical Morning 

          GMM is the hub of comedy, experiments, and Will-Its for "internetainers" Rhett and Link, who have been making content on YouTube for over ten seasons of the web show. They are absolutely hysterical. They have helped me through my anxiety and depression for the last couple of years as I truly have made them a part of my daily routine. Viewers have demanded more content from the duo, and they delivered... subscribe to their other channels on YouTube: This Is Mythical, Rhett & Link, and Good Mythical MORE. 

          Popular News
    
          Pop Trigger

          If you know me, you know I don't keep updated on pop culture. However, when I found Pop Trigger, I subscribed pretty quickly. New episodes are uploaded daily, and the hosts talk about the latest trends, news, movies, and celebrities, without the fluff of regular daytime news outlets. Host Grace Baldridge even recently launched her own fascinating series on the channel called Murder With Friends...check those episodes out on Pop Trigger!

Track 2: Expectations

-
I never thought I would really have a blog; like an actual written online blog where I write consecutive entries for a maybe public audience. My experience with blogging extends short of daily tumblr-ing and the occasional journal entry in a $10 Wal-Mart notebook. So, this is a new experience entirely. Here, I am entering uncharted territory for somebody like me--a writer who is wholeheartedly convinced that she has nothing good to say. When I was a child, I read everything I could get my hands on from the Bristol Public Library. Mystery, horror-lit, humor, kid fiction, even YA books that had appealing covers and cool titles. I wanted to explore the worlds Stephen King crafted, and be immersed in all things adult when it came to books. Those authors, they had something to say, and they said it well. While I was too young to read Stephen King at 12 and 13, I knew he was a genius writer, and I wanted to be just like him. But I wanted to be like R.L. Stine, too. I wanted to be like Barba

Track 3: Around the Fire

-
For this weekend's adventure, I agreed to go camping at Mount Blue State Park. Though I'd left behind more than three hundred pages of reading assignments, I packed my backpack with bananas, a packet of maple almond butter, a stick of deodorant, and my pillow, sans its brand new, white cotton pillow case, and we piled five of us into Daniel's jeep and headed toward the mountain. It rained. A lot. When we woke this morning, it was pelting the tents with such force that my pack got wet from inside, the moisture from the water dripping down the warm plastic made it soppy come sun-up. We'd taken a drive to the general store in town, a few miles from camp, for more rations. We were looking for a deck of playing cards because none of us had come prepared for rain or service-less cell phones, but we bought some chips, ginger ale, and candy bars. Camp was foggy and damp when we got back, and to our surprise, a stray dog was perched on our picnic table, having frozen in place

Sample: What Will Kill Me

The following is a sample of a poem I recently read at the COPLAC Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Conference at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. This material is copyrighted by myself as the author, and I reserve all rights to this material and the borrowing of this material for reproduction purposes. For inquiries, please email me at olivia.m.cyr@maine.edu "What Will Kill Me" I. Alcohol My father’s father bottled everything. French Canadian by blood and mean. We don’t talk about it—Daddy turned out alright. We don’t talk about it but it runs in the family, drips and branches down glass, then pools. My sister, me, our children, drenched in 80-proof. I am 19 and angry: The irritating, self-righteous, contradictory, indulgent voice in my head speaks when it is very seldom spoken to. I make every attempt to drown it.                         (What are you having tonight?)                                      Plea
