“In college, most people I knew were living in the dorms, and I wasn't, so I didn't have many friends.”

“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.”

“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!”

“I have been writing since I was a kid and thought what I wrote down could one day be made into a book.”

“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.”

“Girls can be funny and play sports and show how to do the perfect soccer kick if they want.”

“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.”

“You're the only person that can make your life happen.”

“When I first started my channel, I was a freshman in college and worked at a pizzeria, but I still made YouTube a priority because I was passionate about it.”

“I got started on YouTube when I was a freshman in college. I was a broadcast journalism major, and I already had a lot of experience with video editing and photography.”

“I'm always thinking about the viewers.”

“I'm so grateful to have my viewers, and they all have been so supportive through the years.”

“At the end of the day, I say, 'You do you.' You shouldn't be focusing on convincing people what your sexual orientation is.”

“I love the Shore at Katathani in Thailand! They have the best pool.”

“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.”

“Travel and timelessness mean everything to me, and making clothes that resonate with the modern it-girl is what I knew I needed to do.”

“I never really set out to have people see my videos.”

“Back-to-school videos always do really well for me.”

“I'm tired of people not taking sexual harassment as a serious issue. It is.”

“I started making videos to post just for my friends to see, and people really liked them. One day, I realized they had a couple thousand views on YouTube - I hadn't even known other people were watching them.”
