The First Entry...

Hello. Since this is entry number one, I doubt this will really be read by anyone, but I'm still going to properly introduce myself to you all, even though I don't know who you all are.
My name is Amanda. I'm 18 years old and in University. I am majoring in Art Education with a concentration in Photography and a minor in Psychology. Originally I wanted to major in Photography, but since most art teachers are working artists anyway, I figured that this should be the thing I do first, something to offer me a stable job. And then I can pursue my own art, maybe even get a second degree, that one being in Photography. And since I would already have my teaching certificate, I could teach photography to others at a higher level. So obviously I've thought this all through. Except I haven't.
I wanted to go to art school, but art school is more expensive than normal university (at least the ones I wanted to go to) so I had to settle. The school I settled on is far away from my home and I regret that and am constantly homesick.
I feel that I am much more expressive/talkative in my writing than I am around actual people and in real situations - I'm shy. So needless to say, I have very few friends here in the few months that I've been at this university.
And no, I will not be telling you the school I attend, because I don't like sharing a ton of personal information of that nature. If you read this you'll learn a lot about me, but I'll not be telling you my identification information. Hahaha :P Not that I think you're all creepers. I don't think anyone should give people they don't know personally that info (unless you're like buying something online or whatever but I'm loosing my focus so AHEM).
I should not drink coffee. I rarely drink it, but I drank it before doing this and coffee makes me kind of crazy. So that's that I guess.
IN OTHER NEWS.
I have a YouTube account. It was made so that I could upload random videos onto it. BUT I got bored one day, and I'm subscribed to a lot of makeup gurus, and there was a lot of 'What's in my bag' tags happening at the beginning of the school year. So I made one. And I deleted it a week later.
BUT IT STARTED SOMETHING o.O
I liked making videos. And I figured that the more I did it the less shy I would eventually become, because I would have to improve, right? Get better at talking to the camera - to you, my possible viewers - and that it would help me in other areas of my life.
You can't be a teacher but be too shy to talk to your students. It wouldn't work. No.
And plus, my boyfriends cousin is a YouTube makeup guru, so I knew someone who did it. That wouldn't be important except that learning that she did this, and she had actually made partner etc, made ALL the makeup gurus seem more personable (because she's really really nice, I like her) and made it seem more like something I could do.
No, I'm not trying to make partner. No, I don't want to copy my boyfriend's cousin.
I just think it's fun. It's something to do that I want to get better at. I do a lot of editing to my videos, and my favourite gurus seem to just post their videos with minimal editing. I want to get to that point, because that will mean that I'm much less awkward, talking to the camera/my viewers.
And I do want to get a bunch of subscribers and comments and views and stuff :] That would mean that I'm doing well, and it's good to be competitive with things. I'm very competitive with my artwork as well, and film is just another form of art.
You see, if I get better at YouTube and video editing, I can move forward to other things with film. I love writing, and the only reason I'm not studying that is that I'd much rather use my own natural creativity than follow any type of structure that they're going to try to teach me. I've written a screenplay of my very own. I recently wrote one for my friend, Brenna.
So, on my own time once I improve with things, I'd like to do some filming of my own. But right now, I'm just going to try to show you all things that I know. I really like shopping and fashion and makeup and I know that there are people like myself who want to see all of that. If you want me to show you more art related things (and some art related things are coming, in case you were wondering) then I will. I'm really good with requests.
But this is getting pretty long. And I have other stuff I want to write on here. So away we go!
