So, Today I Learned...

“I feel like I’ve learned about how important connections are. It’s important to talk to others and just really connect and notice that everyone’s in the same boat as you, like we are all trying to grow here on YouTube. But also, there’s room for success for everyone.”

Today I sit down and chat with Leilani Nicole, who is a senior in college studying elementary education and math. She also has her own YouTube channel where she posts lifestyle videos! We chat about how she has balanced school and YouTube and what time management means to her. Leilani took a year off of YouTube to focus on school so we also talk about the process of what it was like to get back into making videos.
