In August somehow Bama Rush and your channel popped up on my YT homepage. I am a 61 year-old semi-bedridden African-American woman caring for my divorced parents: 92 year-old mom with low vision and Alzheimer’s and my now 93 year-old dad. Your work ethic knocks me out. Your video outlining your resume for getting into sororities was stellar. I have lived in NYC off and on for years. I love your content, your upbeat personality, your NYC vids, and again your work ethic!
Lauren, I have def commented this on your videos before but I just want to reiterate: I came to Bama with a very similar story as you and it is something a lot of people do not understand- that not everyone has money for college. I also come from a small town in Alabama, and worked my ass off to be able to afford community college and just essentially waited until I was FAFSA eligible when I was 23. I was a 23yr old freshman at Bama and it really was hard to know that you are the oldest person (likely) in the room. Even though you are not super far off in age from your classmates there is still a disconnect and people treat you weird when they find out you are older. I have started a group at Bama called Older UA Undergrads, and we are trying to form a community of older students who are in the same position you and I both have been. We only have like 7 members but It is definitely a start. I say all this because I really have always admired you. I started watching your videos and became a sub in 2020-2021 when I was prepping to come to Bama and the fact that you were an older student gave me so much validation. Because of that, I watch, comment, and like all of your vids, and I get so excited when you post new ones! I am genuinely so happy for you! Much love from Tuscaloosa!
Jillian🥺🫶🏼 this makes my heart so happy. Yes, people don’t realize that just a couple years in age can really change the way you are perceived in college (Atleast for us at Bama) and it does make things weird!! I love how you created that group, I def would have joined if I was still in college!! I hope your experience has been wonderful. You are so loved 💕💕
I'm so happy that you're happy😁 It's hard to take the steps that you've taken Lauren. You be proud of yourself, because you deserve to be. I watched that viral TikTok of that girl complaining about her 9-5 job, and you were the first person that popped in my head. If you really want to be the best YOU, you can be, one must make the proper moves and have enough forethought to know their options. You thought about your options and made a plan to make it happen. It's admirable and inspirational. Stay classy and keep building honey, for you are your own designer, of your own life🕯
You’re one of the ones that have truly inspired me to do UA-cam and social media full-time come Jan 1st! I’m currently saving up for a camera, and other things. I’m moving to a big city nearby and plan to share my life and encourage each woman through my “Confidently Me” initiative! Keep being lovely and bubbly! You’re doing an awesome job! 💗
Such an amazing story Lauren! I get so angry when I hear people say,” no one wants to,” work” anymore, their just doing vlogs or Instagram “. This is work, HARD WORK, and probably a lot more fulfilling too. You have been so blessed! So happy for you! 📸 💗
Thank you so much!!🫶🏼😭 hopefully I’ll be able to go more into depth about what goes into it a little more!! Of course you’re never going to know how hard someone works towards something or the time dedication unless we talk about it!!💕
Miss Lauren, ma’am, you are a force to be reckoned with and 27 minutes doesn’t feel long enough for your whole UA-cam career, somehow. I am so proud of you and the highs and lows. I found you about the time you blew up, watching your story time videos then seeing your sorority move in at Bama, oof, everything! I’m a 29 year old that’s analysis paralysis-ing doing UA-cam on the side. I have a few videos up that are just one-take type. I can’t wait to see what this series shares! I also still have a card that you signed from one of the orders I placed on your merch (have a few, and love them all btw) and although i’m just a subscriber, i love the connection you have with everyone and how homey you seem! one of these days i’m gonna be able to meet you and hug your neck (well, with permission of course)
I feel Will should start a new trend in vlogging. Like a day in the life of being Lauren's boyfriend and his day in NYC. It would be absolutely precious!!
It’s nice to see and hear someone who literally started from the bottom up. *to me* it seems like a lot of successful influencers are the ones who already come from money, so someone like you who everyone can be so relatable to is so nice to see and truly shows any one can do what they put their mind to
You're such an inspiration, and I'm loving your positive vibes, with Will and the cute kitty! 📸💕 Can't wait to hear more of your amazing stories. Keep spreading that love and positivity! 🥰
Eeeekkkkk I can't wait to watch this videooo!! I've always been so curious about your UA-cam story ever since I started watching your videos a 3 years ago. I am so finally decided to film this series for us. You have come such a long way since you started and I am so so proud of your accomplishments. I love you so much Lauren 💗
Thank you for sharing your story Lauren, it really goes to show you can be the girl who just went for it, we are so thankful you didn’t let the hate and negativity get to you and that you had a great solid support base, thank you to everyone behind the scenes who helps you make these videos happen, we love and appreciate you all ♥️
So proud of you Lauren! You have been such a joy to watch. The best part is, you don't seem like you have lost any of that reliability. You are amazing! I don't plan on starting to be an influencer but this is such a fun series!
You are an amazing young woman! You definitely have worked hard to be here at this point of your journey. Good for you! I love your videos, so fresh and positive, genuine and humble. You have a real zest for life and your sparkling personality and thankful attitude are an inspiration to all. May God continue to bless you.
I just wanted to tell you how good you are for my mental health ❤️❤️ I struggle with anxiety and physical health issues, but I always feel better after I watch your videos. You don't even have to have a perfect day - it's your energy that I love and relate to. Reminds me of me lol. Thank you for being you. Happy to be your supporter!
📸💓 Thank you for doing this series Lauren! I know you have been through so much! And you are still willing to share your story. Sending you sooooooooo much love!!! I am curious how you learned to edit? Thanks again! xo Elizabeth
I found you I think during the lockdown and I wanted an uplifting video to play in the background while I job searched and set up my LinkedIn and my second blog and that was it! Your videos have helped me to give me motivation, to bring me out of my dark thoughts and when I'm stuck in dark corners of my mind, help me keep focus as I'm doing various things like cleaning, cooking, emptying my SD card and Phone memory, writing on my blogs, job searching and doing projects for my night school. You are really brave for attempting to do what you did! Bravo! And if it means anything your content has reached Greece, my sister also saw a video of yours in her UA-cam recommendation list. Your work ethic is admirable and something I wish I can immetate to a degree when I get my first job. Keep doing what you're doing, you got this!!!
I’ll never forget your first video! You’ve made it so far and you’re not even close to being finished ❤thank you for all your hard work and inspiration girl!
As someone who discovered your channel a year and a half ago now but watched even your videos way before that, glad to hear your behind the scenes story! And it’s easy to think you just got lucky or it’s unfair that you’re able to make a nice-paying career out of UA-cam, but it sounds like it’s a lot more work than it seems and you had to be really forward with it especially with reaching out to sponsors yourself.
Lauren you are such an inspiration for me and you’ve helped me get through college❤. We are the same age and I also took two years off to work and save money. I was beating myself up for so long about being behind in life but then I found your videos in my first year. You being the same age at the same stage in life as me felt like we were growing up together. It’s crazy to look back at me watching your school videos my entire college career and now we are graduated! I’ve always wanted to start a UA-cam channel but have never had the guts to do it. I’m so great full that you started your channel and you bring joy to so many of us❤.
I think I found you before the move in vlog in your sorority house. Not sure how it happened but I remember being fascinated as an Australian about sororities and Greek life because we don't have that here. It must have been something about you and your channel though because I think around 3½ years later I am still here watching you. I feel a protectiveness towards you like a Mum (I am 49 after all) because you are very sweet and I would hate to think of those haters dampening your light. Keep doing what you are doing Lauren and congratulations on what you are have so far 📷💗
It was nice to ‘meet’ Nick the editor for the first time! I’ve always enjoyed how the editor complements your sense of humour, great to know the name! 📸 💜
🩷📷 So happy for all of your success! I am a 54 year old grandmother living out my you tube dreams vicariously through you! You are the girl who just went for it!!🍾🥂
I started watching your videos around the time you moved into Pi Phi. I honestly loved your content. I was also in college at the time, going to Ohio State but loved to learn about different colleges. I absolutely am so proud of how far you have come Lauren. This year I was worried about applying to graduate school and your energy just reminded me that anything is possible if you just go for it. I’m applying to schools and should know whether I get accepted by February. I want to be a counselor/therapist for youth dealing with trauma and grief. There unfortunately is not very many schools that offer specializations so fingers crossed I get into my dream school. Thank you for not quitting youtube and sharing your love and positivity with others. Your humbleness doesn’t go unnoticed, as someone who is a first gen student and had to push through things I can see your dedication and just who you are as a person. keep shining 📸💕
Not you making all of us cry while you talk about your UA-cam journey from start to present 🥹🥹 This is BY FAR the best video I've seen from you so far, you deserve EVERY ounce of success. I'm so proud of the person you have become today.
I am SO excited for this series! You inspired me to start a new UA-cam channel after years of creative burnout plus feeling like I had plateaued in my content creating journey. You are such a huge inspiration to me as I try new things and go for it, and I can't wait for more of these tips! 📸💖
You should definitely be proud of all of your hard work…I have been watching your videos for several years…starting with the sorority one (I was helping my daughter prepare for recruitment). You are truly one of the best UA-camrs out there and a role model. Keep up the great work!!
I remember your moving in to sorority video was the first one I had watched and I instantly subscribed to your channel. You deserve so much to be where you are now! I love your videos and your content. Really sorry for those negative people for they can't see the ray of sunshine that you are. Keep doing what you love ♥♥♥
You are one of the UA-camrs that got me through quarantine. Your sorority move in vlog showed up in my feed one day and the rest is history. Im not a pink girlie. Im you but with blue. But you are making me fall in love with pink. Ur a definition of grace and kindness lauren ❤
Girl I needed this video so badly, thank you so much! I have loved watching your journey over the years, you are so inspiring. I am just getting into UA-cam and content creation, and cannot wait for the rest of this series!
📷💖 I’ve just started watching your videos today. I was watching another content creator, Kaitlyn Johnson, and I had saw someone had mentioned that they had been watching you for awhile and recently started watching Kaitlyn’s videos. I didn’t search you up but you had pop up onto my feed and thought “why not?” The first video I watched of yours was the one that you mentioned blowing up, when moving back to your sorority. And then I saw this video playlist and wanted to give it a go since I’ve honestly been interested in vlogging as well. I too, have felt the same way when watching people you went to school with accomplishing their goals and got into college before you were being able to and not feeling like I was good enough because I hold myself to such a high standard. But I’m going to take the leap and create a UA-cam channel and document my journey once I get into nursing school (trying to be positive since I will hear back if I got in on May 1, 2024) and other things that I love to do. Apologies for the long comment but I had really understood what you were talking about and had to comment as well. Thank you! 💕
Lauren, I am an African American 53 year young women and I have been watching you since 2019. I love you and Will so much. Thank you for doing everything you do to make my life so happy.
I love you Lauren!! I’ve been with you since your move in to college vlog! So very proud of you for coming so far in 4 years, your vlogs are amazing. 🩷 can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!!🩷🤩📸
ive been watching your videos since that boom video... never stop posting... love your videos... i literaly watch every single video of yours.. you give me push to do things with your positive energy!!!
📸💕 this video was so encouraging! I’m working on growing my UA-cam channel and it can be so hard to keep pushing forward. Your video was a good reminder that with a little work anything is possible! Thanks for sharing and love your content! Tri Delta alum and loved your sorority content and stuck around for your fun DIL videos. 😊
I remember when you hit 10k !!! You came up as a recommended video in 2019 I think you had maybe 3 videos at that time and I just followed cause you seemed sweet and I thought you were so adorable and I’ve been here ever since.
YAS! I found you from your first pageant story time and thought you were awesome. I proceeded to watch all of your videos during lockdown and remember when that move in vlog went viral. I still look forward to every new upload ❤
Thank you so much for still being here🥺🫶🏼 you have no idea how much I love hearing what video you found me on to see how many moments you’ve been a part of!!!
So proud of you Lauren! Such an inspiration! Off topic, but as a newer subscriber, have you ever made a video about what your workout/exercise routine is?
🎥This makes me so emotional 🥹💕I had been wanting for years to start a YT channel but I was so scared then I found your channel while you were a sophomore at bama and you inspired me!! I started my channel at the beginning of this year and I love it 💗✨ it’s so fun and I haven’t put any pressure on myself it’s just for me to have fun. Thank you for being the girl that just went for it! Ily Lauren 💕🤍🎀✨🎥
I just recently found your channel and I am so happy I did I love your ambition and work ethic. I can tell you genuinely like doing this. However I just wanted to tell you to never stop being you.
Lauren I am so happy that you decided to start a UA-cam channel. I always knew I wanted to started a UA-cam channel before I started mine but I always feared judgment but then I realized that I shouldn’t others stop me. I am so happy I started my always journey of UA-cam.
I first heard of you from Keegan Acton after you were on her channel. I went on a deep dive of your channel just watching videos then subscribing. I'm so happy that you didn't give up given all the hate you received in the beginning and now you are living your dreams. I admire you and you truly are an inspiration! Side note: I'm living vicariously through you even though I'm the same age and live in the same city as you. Keep up the great content!! 💜💜
I would love to see - a video editing walkthrough - how to get the brands you want to work with - how to know what a good brand deal is/factors to consider - what overhead consists of in the business - how to find a good manager - how much time does youtube take overall - what are the features of the backend of the business and what steps do those features consist of -top tips for getting your channel to grow -top financial tips for making youtube work as a job and the lifestyle it requires Cant wait for the rest of this! Maybe you should offer youtube/social media workshops!😁
Really proud of you Lauren! also. I actually wouldn't mind a 2 hour video haha but anyway, one fond memory I have watching your video was that time you were in a pageant, and you legit wore that moana chicken costume HAHHA made me laugh so much, and it honestly made me like you even more than I already do. You staying true to yourself and going for what you want is really inspiring :) Edit, forgot to add the emojis 💕📷
My channel is still itty bitty, but after my first year of starting my channel, a resident at my freshman year dorm (that I was working the front desk for as a sophomore) pointed out that she saw my dorm tour video and that to this day still has to be the highlight of my UA-cam journey. 🥹📸🫶🏻
Love that you are doing this, can't wait for the next videos of this series, I would love to see a video on how to make a video 😅 those that makes sense? Would love the start to finish process, from filming to uploading. Thanks Lauren, your content always makes my day better 💕
Started following you on your first move in vlog and this is CRAZY!! so PROUD! I’m always curious about this bc I’ve been wanting to start my own channel whenever I get to move out of my parents house! I’m 25 and live in Spain hehe What I’m curious about is apart of brand deals that I think it might be what most people is curious about. For me is how do you used to take pics at the beginning I know when I start I don’t have anyone encouraging me and I will be alone taking them 😅 Thank you in advance Lots if love!! And keep being as you are 📸💖💖
I first came across you 4 years or so ago when you were at 7k subs - I listened to the roommate video while I drove to Georgia. I was so excited to see you blow up after the Sorority House videos - you deserve the success of your channel growth!
Lauren! This making me want to cry!! 18:39 this is so freaking awesome… I remember when I first started watching your videos 3 years ago, I watched the off and on until recently…. I love your channel! 😭 you deserve everything you worked so freaking hard for!!!!
@@TheLaurenNorris I literally WAIT for your videos, it literally kills me inside that I can’t binge watch your holiday vids because you haven’t even POSTED them or created 😭🤧
@@TheLaurenNorris as a writer trying to grow her media on instagram this is so inspiring in many ways. You are seriously talented and inspiration to all girls who are going through something or wanting to live out their dreams
Yayyy as a small UA-camr I've been waiting for this one!! Thank you Lauren! 🫶 Would love to know more about ways to grow subscribers and build a community :)📸💗
🩷📸 I remember the first time I clicked on your "move in" video and was so happy to get real insides of american university life from a genuine girl 😊 happy you kept going through every storm that did come your way 🎉
📸💖when I first saw your videos, I thought: 'she is *so* pink!' like a real life barbie southern girl, I'd lived through the american high school experience sophomore to senior as a british immigrant in the 90s and discovered all the stereotypes were completely true! BUT, you were sweet. You were fun, and authentic and Not 'Fake' but a real woman doing things that were a little different from the usual american college girl, and it was inviting. So, thank you for your stories, thank you for your sincerity and honesty. Thank you for sharing your life with us inspite of the negativity - you are bringing the postivity and we appreciate you. You are the Girl who is going for it, and it looks good!
When I first found you, I just loved how great story teller you are and since then I’ve been following your journey! Love your videos and styles! 📸💕 This video motivated me to do my homework and take school work more seriously😅
I will follow, like and do anything I need so you can keep that NYC apt 😂❤ your amazing! You are living the dream and you deserve it because you worked hard for it!!! 😊
It's so interesting to hear your UA-cam story and how much you have accomplished so far in a relatively short amount of time! I have had my channel since 2011 and I wish I had a tenth of the success you have had! I would love to get even to the point where you were at before your channel skyrocketed. Your channel is so fun and inspiring. Love from your Lauren/Lulu nickname twinsie 💖
Question for the series: How do you handle administration and taxes and stuff in the beginning (when you don't really have the money to hire companies to do this stuff for you)
Thank you for sharing! You are so inspiring! I love your videos and vlogs🩷 Your New York content has been AMAZING! I can’t wait to see you living the city during the holidays! New York is so pretty during the holidays!
You are truly an amazing, incredible hard a$$ business woman and wish you all the best in the future, to keep growing up and succeeding as you've done until now! ❤ Be the girl that just went for it! ❤
Dear Lauren, you may not see this, but I am a really big fan of you. I watched all your videos. I’ve been a big fan for like four years. I really want you to do more meet and greets and come to Portland. You have been such an inspiration, and I love all your videos and your content. Christina is ur idol.🩷💗
Lol I found your Rav4 video when I got my car last year as a graduation gift. I love youtube because i live stories and lufe content. Reading relatable comments are so good too. I would start my own channel but i don't enjoy attention. I want to connect with people but i don't like the cons of parasocial relationships. Great luck on your continued journey.
Absolutely love you! You are such a motivation for so many people but definitely me! You are such a great spirit and truly deserve the world! I hope to one day be able to meet you and just say thank you in person!! 📸📷💕💗💖💞💓

Oh my gosh I love this so so much! I hope she see’s this!!❤❤ people like Lauren really are comforting to watch.

This year I was worried about applying to graduate school and your energy just reminded me that anything is possible if you just go for it. I’m applying to schools and should know whether I get accepted by February. I want to be a counselor/therapist for youth dealing with trauma and grief. There unfortunately is not very many schools that offer specializations so fingers crossed I get into my dream school. Thank you for not quitting youtube and sharing your love and positivity with others. Your humbleness doesn’t go unnoticed, as someone who is a first gen student and had to push through things I can see your dedication and just who you are as a person. keep shining 📸💕
Not you making all of us cry while you talk about your UA-cam journey from start to present 🥹🥹 This is BY FAR the best video I've seen from you so far, you deserve EVERY ounce of success. I'm so proud of the person you have become today.
I know right?!? 😭💗
📸💖 Love your videos girly! Keep up the amazing work!!
Thank you so much!!🥺💕
Thanks so much for this!!! ❤❤❤❤ LOVE YOU!
Always looking forward for Tuesdays and Thursdays! So thankful I found your channel, your videos are literally therapy 💕
I am SO excited for this series! You inspired me to start a new UA-cam channel after years of creative burnout plus feeling like I had plateaued in my content creating journey. You are such a huge inspiration to me as I try new things and go for it, and I can't wait for more of these tips! 📸💖
You can do it! Here to cheer you on 💕⭐️
You should definitely be proud of all of your hard work…I have been watching your videos for several years…starting with the sorority one (I was helping my daughter prepare for recruitment). You are truly one of the best UA-camrs out there and a role model. Keep up the great work!!
I remember your moving in to sorority video was the first one I had watched and I instantly subscribed to your channel. You deserve so much to be where you are now! I love your videos and your content. Really sorry for those negative people for they can't see the ray of sunshine that you are. Keep doing what you love ♥♥♥
i’m super excited to watch as always!!👏🏽💗
You are one of the UA-camrs that got me through quarantine. Your sorority move in vlog showed up in my feed one day and the rest is history. Im not a pink girlie. Im you but with blue. But you are making me fall in love with pink. Ur a definition of grace and kindness lauren ❤
Girl I needed this video so badly, thank you so much! I have loved watching your journey over the years, you are so inspiring. I am just getting into UA-cam and content creation, and cannot wait for the rest of this series!
Love this! So proud of you and how far you have come! 📷💕
📷💖 I’ve just started watching your videos today. I was watching another content creator, Kaitlyn Johnson, and I had saw someone had mentioned that they had been watching you for awhile and recently started watching Kaitlyn’s videos. I didn’t search you up but you had pop up onto my feed and thought “why not?” The first video I watched of yours was the one that you mentioned blowing up, when moving back to your sorority. And then I saw this video playlist and wanted to give it a go since I’ve honestly been interested in vlogging as well. I too, have felt the same way when watching people you went to school with accomplishing their goals and got into college before you were being able to and not feeling like I was good enough because I hold myself to such a high standard. But I’m going to take the leap and create a UA-cam channel and document my journey once I get into nursing school (trying to be positive since I will hear back if I got in on May 1, 2024) and other things that I love to do. Apologies for the long comment but I had really understood what you were talking about and had to comment as well. Thank you! 💕
I was one of the first 10k it’s been amazing to watch you grow on this platform and in your life Lauren! ❤
SO EXCITED you started this series! Been waiting on this from you specifically 😭 x
I hope you like them!!🫶🏼
Lauren, I am an African American 53 year young women and I have been watching you since 2019. I love you and Will so much. Thank you for doing everything you do to make my life so happy.
I'm so happy you are glowing. New York should be proud to have you. Keeping shinning girl you will do great things. ❤
I love you Lauren!! I’ve been with you since your move in to college vlog! So very proud of you for coming so far in 4 years, your vlogs are amazing. 🩷 can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!!🩷🤩📸
ive been watching your videos since that boom video... never stop posting... love your videos... i literaly watch every single video of yours.. you give me push to do things with your positive energy!!!
📸💕 this video was so encouraging! I’m working on growing my UA-cam channel and it can be so hard to keep pushing forward. Your video was a good reminder that with a little work anything is possible! Thanks for sharing and love your content! Tri Delta alum and loved your sorority content and stuck around for your fun DIL videos. 😊
You got this!! It can be very hard and difficult to make progress if you’re not seeing the numbers you’re striving for. Keep going 💕💕
Thank you so much for the sweet response and the encouragement! This made my day. 🥰@@TheLaurenNorris
I remember when you hit 10k !!! You came up as a recommended video in 2019 I think you had maybe 3 videos at that time and I just followed cause you seemed sweet and I thought you were so adorable and I’ve been here ever since.
YAS! I found you from your first pageant story time and thought you were awesome. I proceeded to watch all of your videos during lockdown and remember when that move in vlog went viral. I still look forward to every new upload ❤
Thank you so much for still being here🥺🫶🏼 you have no idea how much I love hearing what video you found me on to see how many moments you’ve been a part of!!!
So proud of you Lauren! Such an inspiration!
Off topic, but as a newer subscriber, have you ever made a video about what your workout/exercise routine is?
You rock. I'm an old lady but still someone who appreciates your content😂❤📷
I’ve been going through a UA-cam journey the past year! Thanks so much for the insight ❤
I found you during your move in vlog to your apartment and was hooked ever since. I am so proud of you and I will always be here!! 💓 📸
I'm am happy to be your subscriber and i been supporting you for a while since you went to the university of Alabama
Favorite youtuber ever
🎥This makes me so emotional 🥹💕I had been wanting for years to start a YT channel but I was so scared then I found your channel while you were a sophomore at bama and you inspired me!! I started my channel at the beginning of this year and I love it 💗✨ it’s so fun and I haven’t put any pressure on myself it’s just for me to have fun. Thank you for being the girl that just went for it! Ily Lauren 💕🤍🎀✨🎥
I just recently found your channel and I am so happy I did I love your ambition and work ethic. I can tell you genuinely like doing this. However I just wanted to tell you to never stop being you.
Lauren I am so happy that you decided to start a UA-cam channel. I always knew I wanted to started a UA-cam channel before I started mine but I always feared judgment but then I realized that I shouldn’t others stop me. I am so happy I started my always journey of UA-cam.
I first heard of you from Keegan Acton after you were on her channel. I went on a deep dive of your channel just watching videos then subscribing. I'm so happy that you didn't give up given all the hate you received in the beginning and now you are living your dreams. I admire you and you truly are an inspiration!
Side note: I'm living vicariously through you even though I'm the same age and live in the same city as you. Keep up the great content!! 💜💜

We love you Lauren! You and you're videos are an inspiration and you're such a kind, beautiful human being❤
Really proud of you Lauren! also. I actually wouldn't mind a 2 hour video haha but anyway, one fond memory I have watching your video was that time you were in a pageant, and you legit wore that moana chicken costume HAHHA made me laugh so much, and it honestly made me like you even more than I already do. You staying true to yourself and going for what you want is really inspiring :)
Edit, forgot to add the emojis 💕📷
HAHAHA I LOVED THAT CHICKEN OUTFIT
Lauren, you are one of my favorite UA-camrs. I look forward to your videos every week ❤
My channel is still itty bitty, but after my first year of starting my channel, a resident at my freshman year dorm (that I was working the front desk for as a sophomore) pointed out that she saw my dorm tour video and that to this day still has to be the highlight of my UA-cam journey. 🥹📸🫶🏻
Love that you are doing this, can't wait for the next videos of this series, I would love to see a video on how to make a video 😅 those that makes sense? Would love the start to finish process, from filming to uploading. Thanks Lauren, your content always makes my day better 💕
I love your videos your positivity You,Will and the 🐱 kitty 📸💕 great story I’d like to hear more💕💕🥰🥰
Thank you so much 😭💕
Started following you on your first move in vlog and this is CRAZY!! so PROUD!
I’m always curious about this bc I’ve been wanting to start my own channel whenever I get to move out of my parents house! I’m 25 and live in Spain hehe
What I’m curious about is apart of brand deals that I think it might be what most people is curious about. For me is how do you used to take pics at the beginning I know when I start I don’t have anyone encouraging me and I will be alone taking them 😅
Thank you in advance
Lots if love!! And keep being as you are 📸💖💖
📷 💕this was a great video, have always wondered how the UA-cam world works! Can’t wait to hear more
📸 👛 here bc I enjoy watching you for who you are , congratulations on your wonderful journey 💛
I first came across you 4 years or so ago when you were at 7k subs - I listened to the roommate video while I drove to Georgia. I was so excited to see you blow up after the Sorority House videos - you deserve the success of your channel growth!
Lauren! This making me want to cry!! 18:39 this is so freaking awesome… I remember when I first started watching your videos 3 years ago, I watched the off and on until recently…. I love your channel! 😭 you deserve everything you worked so freaking hard for!!!!
Thank you so much!!💕😭 thank you for being here too!!!
@@TheLaurenNorris I literally WAIT for your videos, it literally kills me inside that I can’t binge watch your holiday vids because you haven’t even POSTED them or created 😭🤧
@@TheLaurenNorris as a writer trying to grow her media on instagram this is so inspiring in many ways. You are seriously talented and inspiration to all girls who are going through something or wanting to live out their dreams
I discovered you when you moved into your sorority house, im so proud of you and how far you have come!
I have enjoyed watching you evolve on UA-cam and IG. You are amazing keep growing and enjoying what you do!
Yayyy as a small UA-camr I've been waiting for this one!! Thank you Lauren! 🫶 Would love to know more about ways to grow subscribers and build a community :)📸💗
Been here since before 10k. Watching you grow has been a delight 😊❤️
🩷📸 I remember the first time I clicked on your "move in" video and was so happy to get real insides of american university life from a genuine girl 😊 happy you kept going through every storm that did come your way 🎉
📸💖when I first saw your videos, I thought: 'she is *so* pink!' like a real life barbie southern girl, I'd lived through the american high school experience sophomore to senior as a british immigrant in the 90s and discovered all the stereotypes were completely true! BUT, you were sweet. You were fun, and authentic and Not 'Fake' but a real woman doing things that were a little different from the usual american college girl, and it was inviting. So, thank you for your stories, thank you for your sincerity and honesty. Thank you for sharing your life with us inspite of the negativity - you are bringing the postivity and we appreciate you. You are the Girl who is going for it, and it looks good!
When I first found you, I just loved how great story teller you are and since then I’ve been following your journey! Love your videos and styles! 📸💕 This video motivated me to do my homework and take school work more seriously😅
I will follow, like and do anything I need so you can keep that NYC apt 😂❤ your amazing! You are living the dream and you deserve it because you worked hard for it!!! 😊
Keep it up Lauren. You’re amazing. 📷💕
Thank you so much!!💕💕💕
It's so interesting to hear your UA-cam story and how much you have accomplished so far in a relatively short amount of time! I have had my channel since 2011 and I wish I had a tenth of the success you have had! I would love to get even to the point where you were at before your channel skyrocketed. Your channel is so fun and inspiring. Love from your Lauren/Lulu nickname twinsie 💖
I love this video. I love when UA-camrs talk about UA-cam lol.
HAHAHA thank you!!!
Question for the series: How do you handle administration and taxes and stuff in the beginning (when you don't really have the money to hire companies to do this stuff for you)
Oohhhh that’s a good one!! Writing this down
You’re so encouraging and love your story!❤
Thank you for sharing! You are so inspiring! I love your videos and vlogs🩷 Your New York content has been AMAZING! I can’t wait to see you living the city during the holidays! New York is so pretty during the holidays!
You’re such an inspiration and I am so proud of you 🩷
Found your channel from story time videos 4 years ago!! Love your channel!!
You are truly an amazing, incredible hard a$$ business woman and wish you all the best in the future, to keep growing up and succeeding as you've done until now! ❤ Be the girl that just went for it! ❤
I am an OG and I loved your college/sorority content and I love your story times vlogs!

📸💓Hey Lauren, I loved hearing your story. This is so good. For anyone who want to try UA-cam, you have given them great advise and encouragement.
Dear Lauren, you may not see this, but I am a really big fan of you. I watched all your videos. I’ve been a big fan for like four years. I really want you to do more meet and greets and come to Portland. You have been such an inspiration, and I love all your videos and your content. Christina is ur idol.🩷💗
Heyy I was wondering how you get uncoppy writed music and what camera settings u used for you g7x and if you use certain lighting for your videos💕
Hi Lauren, I remember the video when you moved into your sorority house!! Really enjoyed your story in getting started with UA-cam.
Thanks for always being vulnerable & real always! 📸❤
Lol I found your Rav4 video when I got my car last year as a graduation gift. I love youtube because i live stories and lufe content. Reading relatable comments are so good too. I would start my own channel but i don't enjoy attention. I want to connect with people but i don't like the cons of parasocial relationships. Great luck on your continued journey.
from the first video in pres dorm to ny 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 so proud to see you grow ❤
Absolutely love you! You are such a motivation for so many people but definitely me! You are such a great spirit and truly deserve the world! I hope to one day be able to meet you and just say thank you in person!! 📸📷💕💗💖💞💓
Proud of you! I have watched you for sometime.
