that sounds like it sounds like decision, actually, welcome to this new angle of my room because I couldn't be well there to clean up that mess.

I had asked you guys for questions for a Q and A, I think over a full month ago now and then promptly forgot about it.

But today, because my life is kind of falling apart and I don't have time to film a full like fashion related video without this Cuban aviall, quick, hopefully the people who have asked these haven't unsubscribed since they asked them, like a month ago.

So my 1st 1 is, Why did you start a YouTube channel and who is your inspiration for starting?

I think a little bit over two years ago, honestly, couldn't tell you exactly why I started my YouTube channel kind.

Just a combination of liking fashion, being a weird ass kid who like to talk to a camera liking edit videos.

I don't think I had at that point light a unique fashion division to share with the world or really much of a personality on camera, but I kind of like just playing around with the whole video making thing.

I also grew up in like a super boring suburban town where there wasn't a whole lot of entertainment.

I actually also had a YouTube channel before this, I think when I was in, like, second to third grade, my original channel was cold pipe cleaner studios, and it was literally just like 32nd videos with dinosaur figurines I'd made out of pipe cleaners.

I remember distinctly there was a yellow dinosaur named Charlie, and he just had little adventures with his friends.

I think one of my videos got, like, 100 years.

One time I was like, ready for my YouTube fame.

At that time, I was also super into Community Channel, and I still am whenever she uploads like every three months.

So I also started uploading these weird like community channel asked videos like a super off pretend version of Community Jail where I was trying to do like a little bit of stand up and like little skits where I would eat together videos of myself talking to myself.

Needless to say those did not get a lot of use either, but people kind of started making fun of me and my Girl Scout troop about them.

And then I felt bad, and I told my mom that I had put my face on YouTube, which was like, Ah, crime as a little kid After that I just felt so guilty about it.

But I've read all my videos and my channel and that, my friends, is why I never tell anybody about my channel nowadays because I have been scarred and the other part of this question, who's your inspiration for a starting one?

I honestly don't remember too many of the channels that I watched back then.

Just because I feel like YouTube has kind of high turnover rate, and I don't watch a whole lot of the same people that I did two years ago.

I think I watched denim back then, and I really, really loved Krystle.

Limber Channel is so professional and beautiful, but I think back when she was starting out more like three or four years ago, she would make these really cool, just like homemade videos of her mixing and matching basics in super creative ways.

So I really loved watching her videos, and I would want them, like, over and over and over again.

Okay, My next question is, when did you start to take an interest in fashion?

No, actually, when I was a kid, probably up until, like ninth grade, I was such a tomboy.

I hated fashion and beauty and everything like early so much.

I think a lot of that, though, was a result of my mom.

And like most of the other adults, I grew up around being second wave feminists that they kind of ingrained in me.

Like if I wanted to be smart and successful and a badass, Then I had to reject really girly things and that liking beauty and fashion and stuff like that was like a sign of being superficial, like a waste of brain power.

I do still admit that beauty and fashion are definitely more superficial parts of life and shouldn't be like the focus of your entire life unless you're me and you make your money on you to somehow.

But as I've learned a lot more in college, it is completely possible to be a girly girl toe.

Love your outfits and your makeup and, you know, chat about boys with your friends or whatever and be a complete career bad.

It's like those things are not antithetical at all.

A lot of ways they can complement one another.

So, yeah, there's your weekly feminist message.

My older sister was always a lot more fashionable than I was, and every night me and my family would watch TV together.

So the show that she got into and she got the rest of my family, including my dad hooked on was Project Runway.

So we watched, probably like seven seasons of that, and we'd always, like, critique the runway shows together for a while.

I kind of have this interest in fashion, but I never would actually dress up, but I didn't want to see like I was trying hard or like I was girly.

Finally, in high school, I kind of broke away from that and I started dressing a lot nicer.

I feel like a big part of being confident.

We're style, especially if you see the same people a lot.

It's just keep dressing, however, the fuck you want, and then eventually they just expect you to dress in your badass way.

That's what happened to me in high school.

I dressed way fancier than everybody else in my school, but everybody just like it was like That's just how, actually dresses OK, next question is, what school do you go to and what are you studying?

I said this before and a couple other videos, but I go to U.

And I'm studying film, television and digital media.

You have that kind of just slap the digital media onto the end of the major, and we don't learn that much about it.

Along that line, somebody asked What was your college incident process like?

My college decision process was a bit of a doozy.

Has anybody said that since like the fifties?

Because at my high school, they didn't have a film program at all?

Obviously, since I grew up in suburban Maryland, there wasn't like a film industry that I could really go and learn from, basically, just at the end of my junior year when I was thinking about what I wanted, Do you do with the rest of my life.

I made, like, one short film that my classmates said I was good.

So that sounds like it sounds like Decision Ashley.

So I decided to apply to three film schools, USC and when you and U.

Which are the top three undergrad film programs in the nation, as well as seven other like, traditionally academically good schools.

So I told myself that if I made it into one of the top three film schools, then I would allow myself thio, give this whole film thing a shot.

And if I didn't, I probably wouldn't have a great chance in the industry.

I guess so, without sounding too obnoxious.

C L A film programs and then for non film schools.

I got into several, but my top contenders were Colombia and Stanford.

I got to visit Columbia and you and I love New York from the bottom of my heart.

I think it is by far the best city in America.

I sent a lot of time there as a kid, and I always go up there with my dad on his business trips.

I was storing Columbia pretty heavily because I was also a John Jay scholar, which is like some special distinction where they basically pay for you to do anything you want over the summer.

And also Columbia has a really good graduate program and filmmaking.

But when I visited, it became pretty apparent to me that basically there wasn't a great undergrad film program in their film studies, Major, you didn't really get to make anything.

You were just like studying the oldie films.

And also Colombia's core curriculum is a fickle boy and why you was really fool.

It's technically ranked higher than you see L.

In terms of film school in like the one ranking of film schools that exists on the Internet.

But what I like is that the program is around 200 people in each grade, which is a lot larger than you see lays 15 and obviously the main issue was tuition, which is insane with room and board.

I think it's like $76,000 not to say that out of state tuition is cheap, but u C L.

At all, but it's nearly half the price of N.

I never actually ended up visiting Stanford, which I kind of regret to this day.

At this point, I really had my heart set on being a film major.

This overly long explanation then left me with U C L.

I like that had the smallest program, and they also seem flexible with allowing me to graduate in three years, which would also help cut my tuition costs a lot.
