According to Alyssa

First of all, I just want to say thank you to everyone who took the time to read the last article that I posted and leave me so many lovely comments!  It means the world to me that you all are interested in what I'm doing at work.  I just wanted to leave a quick note to let you know that I've been published in Maniac again!  Though this article is much shorter, I am still so proud of it and hope you guys enjoy it!

This time, I attended an event (thrown by Maniac) that celebrated the grand opening of the cutest little chocolate shop!  I started out wearing a white dress and ultimately had to change because I ruined it with chocolate...surprise!  Haha, but it was a really nice time for me to be able to relax with my co-workers and make some new friends!  Please check it out below and let me know what you think!  (If it's too small to read, you can check it out here!)

     Good morning! I've just woken up and thought I would write a little post.  (I really need to get myself on a regular blogging timeline!  What do you think is the best/easiest schedule to keep?  I've got a lot of exciting things coming up in the next few months, so I'd like to keep on it!). 

   
     Ever since my freshman year of college in 2011 (Yikes! Has it really been four years?!), I've toyed with the idea of creating a YouTube channel.  I find the idea of vlogging as well as creating fun sit-down videos to be extremely exciting, however the thought of actually planting myself in front of a camera and speaking openly on any subject seems absolutely terrifying (which is probably why I haven't actually jumped into it yet).  But I think that this is the year I may actually do it.  I've got a lot of exciting things happening in my life in the upcoming months, including moving to a new apartment with my boyfriend, flying across the country to adventure in Oregon, and starting an internship at a fashion magazine and I'd love to be able to document these occurrences and share them with people who may have similar interests.

     That being said, I am officially reaching out to any and all YouTubers for advice, tips, tricks, and just general thoughts on the YouTube community as well as my want to be a part of it!  I'd love to hear about your experiences and hopefully gain some new friends in the process!
