Why I Don't Do Vlogs

by - 6:56 PM

Once upon a time, there was a Dutch guy who didn't know what to do in his summer vacation. He decided to start vlogging. He made videos of himself while brushing his teeth, baking a pancake living his life and got a few subscribers that way. Then he broke his arm on camera and quickly became the biggest YouTuber in the Netherlands. This right here is why I don't understand the hype around vlogs. What's so interesting about watching a dude eat his dinner?
I'm not completely against vlogging though. I love IISuperwomanII's vlogs, but her life is actually interesting. If I'd make a vlog, it would be the most boring thing ever: all I do is going to college and doing my homework. Yet still a friend of mine wanted me to make a vlog. I thought it was a ridiculous idea, but I'd promised myself to get out of my comfort zone more often this year. Apart from that, I thought it would be better to show why I don't do vlogs instead of just telling you. So at the start of this month I picked up my camera to show you for once and all why I don't do vlogs.

WARNING
Low Quality Video Ahead


Okay, I had a lot of fun shooting this video, I admit it. But does that mean I should do it more often? Definitely not. Did you hear how nervous I sound? Did you hear how soft my voice gets when I'm nervous? Did you notice how I struggle to speak English? Did you see the epic fail with the not-so-neutral background? Oh, and looking straight at the camera isn't exactly one of my strong points either... Apart from that, I don't want to live my life through the lense of a camera. Sure, vlogging can be fun. I love to share the awesome things in life, but sometimes I think it's better to keep them to yourself and live in the moment.

Stay Awesome!
