I’ve always appreciated how open and honest you are with the ups and downs that come with growing as a young adult. You inspire me to be better love your channel Caroline ☺️💜
thank you love!💖
honestly for birth control, it’s really up to you! i feel like we as Christians can be so judgemental and harp on people for their decisions when in reality if we were in the same position, we would probs do the same! super happy for you and always do you
hey!! i'm graduated from college and wanted to share my two cents since your audience is mostly high schoolers who haven't been through college yet!
I think joining a sorority would be a good idea for you since you know no one in the college and it'll be a good way to make friends! but, be very selective and wary of what sorority to join. they'll all be really friendly and nice at first, and part of it is because you're an influencer and they know they can get exposure from you. so be really aware of their true intentions and trust your gut. take time to get to know each sorority!
as for your down time, since you have your own house, you're not around your sorority 24/7 and that's the best way to do it. pick and choose when to see them when you're able to since your main priority is really academics. college you get so much freedom but you also learn self management and balance. college curriculum is no joke. spend 50% of your time/week for school and studying, 30% for your own personal down time/me time, and the other 20% for your social life.
since you have trust issues, I would highly suggest to keep your boundaries, such as not inviting friends over to your house until you feel finally ready and trusting of your friends. if you join a sorority, I guarantee 90% of your friends are in the same sorority so you will see them often, but SET YOUR BOUNDARIES! don't get roommates or have your friends as roommates. it will end messy and bad and will ruin your time in college once you get in to that routine of living with them, because you have no idea what your roommates/friends living habits are. if it comes to a time where they need to crash at your place, let them, but don't let them take advantage of you since you have your own home.
if you have any more questions about college just lmk!! I hope this helps!
also you should try balayage!!! it's such an easier maintenance for your hair!
the black hair compliments her so muc, literally love it
black hair was the move caro has never looked this good (she was already beautiful but THE BLACK HAIR)
ive been watching for a couple years and i never get tired of her
same i’ve watched her since she was a sophomore and now she’s a senior!
Even after almost 2 years of not taking birth control I feel like some of the affects have still stayed:( especially the emotionless part. When I feel like I need a good cry I just can’t get it out and it’s the worst feeling ever
PLEASE keep us updated on the birth control - I also gained a bunch of weight when I went on it, so let us know if you end up losing any or if your period comes back as bad as it was before!
I'm graduating highschool in May/June as well!!Its so crazy how we grow up so fast lol..well I'm happy for u!!Cheers to new experiences for every one who's graduating highschool w us💖💜
my cousin is in a sorority and there are many positives but also a lot of downs. she is constantly busy, and when she doesn’t have work in school she has work for the sorority. there’s also some drama with friends. but it also is such a great experience and sisterhood. t’s honestly such a personal decision and it’s hard to determine if you should or not, but do what feels right
as a college student, i know many people that have said that sororities and frats are a lot more work than people think, so if you’re worried about feeling overworked then i would suggest not joining a sorority at least until your second year. but we know that you are always on your grind❤️ so do what you want and feel comfortable with❤️ much love caro❤️
Hi Caroline! So I have actually joined a sorority this year as a freshman and I hope my input helps! By no means did I think I was a "typical sorority girl" and would have ever imagined myself in this position, but after a lonely and difficult first semester, I decided to go for it and it was the best thing I could have done. During recruitment, I saw the stereotype breaking in front of my eyes and the process was so eye opening. I am still meeting more and more people and although it can be overwhelming and draining at first, it settles down and is such an amazing experience. I have met some genuine, amazing girls who return the energy I put out and who I am so comfortable with already. I am usually a socially anxious person and quite an introvert so I totallyyyy get wanting to recharge and have that time to yourself. You will definitely learn how to balance it and remember to set other priorities first! You'll be surrounded with inspiring and awesome girls (just be yourself and trust the process and you'll come home to the perfect one for you) and I already feel myself getting out of my shell and growing as a person. If you end up not joining a sorority that is totally okay and you'll def make friends by branching out elsewhere, by my advice would be to rush because you can always stop that process, BUT you might end up gaining so much from it and finding your home, so there's really not much to lose. Best advice is to genuinely be yourself and don't change to fit into any of them. Whatever you do I hope your freshmen year is awesome!! Remember, stepping out of your comfort zone will get you very far (something I had to learn the hard way lol). Love your vids and your personality!
I'm on birth control and my body shaped changed a lot ... it sucks when you have body dysmorphia. This was definitely my sign to get off of birth control.
What is birth control used for??
And why do you need it
@@Sarah-dt1ds you should definitely talk to your mom about it, but to sum it up, it’s a contraceptive to prevent pregnancy. some people use it to prevent pregnancy while they are sexually active and some use it to help with acne, periods, etc.
@@riniedarryllan1846 your english is SO good
love how vulnerable your able to be with us, so excited for what’s to come!! I wish you the very best caroline
I’ve been on birth control since I turned 14. So it’s been 7 year now. The first couple years I was on a birth control that gave me a period every 3 months. The past 4 years I’ve been on a continuous birth control. So basically I skip the last week in every pack.
My doctors decided it was best to not have a period at all because mine were so painful it put me in the hospital a couple of time. Mine were also 3 weeks long and had an extremely heavy flow that caused me to become anemic and faint. The doctors had no idea what was causing them to be so bad they thought endometriosis but could only be sure with exploratory surgery.
Now I’m 21 and have been talking to my doctor about the repercussions of being on it the long. Some of my concerns are that long term birth control use has been linked to infertility and cancers. I’m also concerned because instead of figuring out what was causing the horrid periods we just decided not to deal with and investigate. If it is endometriosis that could cause fertility issues. So in the next couple of weeks we are going to do some testing to determine if I’m fertile and what is causing the problematic periods.
I wish I could go off my birth control. I tried for a couple of weeks and I was the best I’ve ever felt since starting birth control. However it didn’t last once I got my period again and all the pain started.
I just think that the dark hair looks so good with your eyes and it’s gorgeous + healthy 🤩💕
4:00 omg!! olivia somersille, another youtuber i watch, goes to boise. i’ve been subscribed to you both since around 2018-19, and trust me when i say that olivia is the sweetest from what i’ve seen. idk if you’ve seen her videos, or anything but she’s so chill & kind. hopefully you two could meet up (:
i really appreciate how open and sweet you are. you aren’t afraid to speak your truth or be completely open about everything. i love you and your channel! 💗 stay safe
Girl, we are 1 day apart. Honestly thank you sm for talking about all of this so that I know I am not alone in all of this figuring out what to do now that I am going to be graduating. Also, thanks for being honest and still being yourself even though you are an influencer, you don't let it change who you are and I love that!
Caro I say for freshman year of college really take time to put focus to school and career goals. As a sorority girl myself it is very challenging balancing the best of both worlds and is a little chaotic for freshmen girls (I'm currently a freshmen and struggling with balancing the social of Kappa and school). I recommend the first year to ride the wave of discovering true friends and the major classes to start a ground base for your university years💓
I’m a christian and i’m on birth control to regulate my period, I don’t think it’s something a christian should even judge you on because it’s none of anyones business. it’s all up to you and how your body reacts to it❤️
I really love how open you were in this video. I wanna let you know that as a Christian, I am against birth control but that doesn't mean I'm against people who use it. I feel like a lot of the time, girls are struggling with cramps, acne, irregular periods and the first thing a doctor says is birth control and I think women need a better influence that there are SO MANY MORE OPTIONS to help with your specific problems. Going on birth control, everything comes back to you at once and it's a lot to handle. I love your channel so much and you're such an inspiration for women 💕
Hi Caroline I love your videos especially these kind it kind of feels nice to know that even online peoples lives are just as normal as everyone else’s outside of what you see online
i've been a fan of you since your freshman year and it's amazing to see how you've grown into this open, mature young woman that you are today. i feel like i've grown with you, and you are one of the big reasons why i'm doing as well as i am nowadays. so glad you felt comfortable to have an open, honest convo with us. love you 💕
i love how real and chill your content is, it feels like we are all on FaceTime or something! I’m so excited to see your journey with moving to Boise and everything!!
Thank you for showing the good things about growing up, but also the challenging things. I feel like a lot of creators make growing up look super easy. I think it is amazing how you show the development you go through wether it is hard or not. Love you Caro!! 💕
Hey caro thank you for having an open convo! I love you so much and I can’t wait to see your future! I will fully watch your video when I get home! Love you caro! ❤️
College campus usually have numerous student ministries and you can always find one that fits your faith. I never joined Greek life but had just as much fun with people in my student ministries and because we share the same faith we r still great friends going 3 years post-grad!
Can we just talk about how much time Caroline puts into her UA-cam💗 ily Caro🦋
i love how open you are, makes it feel like we are really apart of your life! moving away from your family the first time is so exciting and nerve wracking and im so excited for your journey! for sorority life i think you should totally go for it! i think you would love sisterhood and college gives you a lot more free time then you think!
I love how you have to courage to move out right after you graduate that’s amazing for you and shows great responsibility! I think that you should do a sorority because it’ll help you make friends and plus your right college is something you only get to do once so why not do what you can to make friends and actually have fun. As for your stress levels and like keeping up with your social media I think that you’ll be fine with managing time you seem like a very well rounded and organized person so you will find time to make amazing content for us. Love you and I wish you the best of luck 💕
I love how open you are with us! please don't listen to the haters! anyways I love you, no matter yours choices.
dude I've watched your videos for maybe a year or more now? but you've grown up and I'm proud of you! you're making good decisions and you're just glowing! I'm so happy for you girl!
joining a sorority was the best decision i ever made! it’s an amazing way to meet tons and tons of people and i actually made some of the most genuine relationships ever and i know my sorority sisters will be in my life forever. would definitely recommend it
Sororities are a LOT. The commitments are the equivalent of like 2 extra classes. I pray you make the decision that’s right for you, but I promise you, it can be extremely overwhelming.
There are some sororities that are way less active but those are harder to find and most sororities exist in order to beef up your calendar and to “be involved” but it’s literally like a full time job.
i think it’s a good thing you quit birth control especially with what you’re going through, and it’s not like if you need to go back on it you’ll try another one but yes girl focus on your emotions and seeing what you need!
watching carol has always made me so happy, and given me hope for my own future. especially with us being the same age, I'm just excited to watch the points in life shes at because its like we are growing up together!!!
I haven't been feeling the best today because it's that time of the month again so it feels good to have a little chit chat with you
cannot get over how good the dark hair looks
as someone who went to college all the way across the country, finding genuine friends will happen. all I can say is don't be afraid to be adventurous, and try new things that may be out of character for you, because you may discover a love for things you never knew existed. and also for the whole sorority thing and greek life, I would say that if you have a need for down time, I would do a lot of research (like going to their information meetings) or talk to a lot of people in the sororities you're interested in because many of them are very time consuming and require a lot of dedication especially in the first year.
You're literally a big sister to me bc I'm the oldest in my family and you making these videos help me sooo muchh🤧
I appreciate how open you are about your life. Ilysm and ur basically like an older sister haha :)
Can I just say that I love how honest you are, I really appreciate it! Especially because I don’t have that older sister too look up to! That’s all lol, love you caro!
I am planning on attending Boise State as a freshman in the fall as well! I live in Washington and I also won't know anybody when I get there. The scariest thing for me is also making friends so it's awesome to hear other girls be in the same boat!
There’s Asian sorority girl!! Very different ethnicities with the Asian communities. I went on birth control to calm down my symptoms but with no hormones, I gained so much weight bc I’ve always been at a stable weight and I have clear skin.
You've honestly had such a glow up (even though you were beautiful before too:) And PS Ilysm ive watched you for so long :)
Honestly being in one, I would say you get out of it what you put in. You can participate as much or as little as you want in a sorority. It’s a great way to make friends and put yourself out there .
I can't wait for the Idaho vlogs!! You have always inspired me to be a better person and appreciate the things I have. I love you so much Caroline and I can't wait to see you grow and go to college!
I definitely think you should try Greek life. I was very hesitant to join when I first started college and now all my best friends are in my sorority. Plus many will say that time commitment isn’t that much of an issue it all really depends on you and what your chapter has that’s required for you to do for the semester. I would so love to see you go through the process!
with college it can be difficult to film content without events & it is a true part of the experience, I think you should do it! I didn’t join a sorority til my third year and it was so fun to do the events they do!
OML caro looks even more stunning than usual! !! How is that even possible. Wish u all the best caroline!
Girl ur doing so well and we’re all so freaking happy for u!!!

Wow Caroline it actually made me feel so much better to hear your experience with birth control for pain-prevention! Cuz that's EXACTLY what I'm on.
I love how open and honest u are with all of us💗 can’t wait to see what the rest of this year holds out for u

Your hair looks so pretty right now! You should keep it the way it is! Love you!!
Hi. I love how open she is and how she can change my mood by me just watching her videos.💜
i have watched you for like 2-3 yrs now, and whenever the outro comes i say it with you cause i have it memorized for some reason and i think its cute
hi caro
I’m so happy you’re embracing your natural beauty again! It took me 15 years to embrace my naturally curly hair and taking care of it. What a great way for you to start your college year soon! Looking forward to your college vlogs!
I'm honestly so proud of you, you've made so much accomplishments too. you inspire me sm! I wish you the best. I know it can be stressful when moving but I'm very proud of you. I would love the new house tour. I'm glad that your being honest with us and making sure to tell us the truth, I thank you for that. I wish you the beat in everything. Ilysm Caro
Caro, I’m so excited for you and your new journey to adulthood! I’ve watched your videos since I believe you were like 15? And witnessed through the internet you become such a godly soul wonderful woman❤️ And before I sound like a creepy old person i myself am 14 about to be 15 lol. I love how you’re so open with your fans and you’re not like most influencers (in a good way!) ily caro, you inspire me to give back and put everyone else before my self💗✨🌸
Such videos makes me appreciate Caro more!
Btw I'm so excited for the solo diaries! And remember you're a great person, keep it up!
I love my sorority! It's so much fun, but also intense and a big commitment!
Dark hair looks sooo good! It looks healthier & makes you look older
I love you with blonde hair but your natural hair is sooo beautifulll
dude shes so gorgeous
caro its your body your choice , we love you
caroline you’re so naturally gorgeous! i love your videos and your vibe 💖
greek life is what you make of it!! you can be as involved or as least involved as you want. It's definitely a great way to make friends because I know going into college that was a little hard for me and I've met so many amazing people now!! You'll definitely have down time to work on UA-cam and other social medias if you manage your time right. I've found that at night after I've finished my homework and had dinner that there's so much time to have to yourself and get things done. can't wait to see what you do!!
Definitely try joining a sorority! I had always wanted to but for the same reasons as you was hesitant. But I wouldn’t change my choice of joining a sorority! It’s a great way to make friends, especially because you’ll be in a whole different environment and state. Wish the best for you girlie and I’m excited to see your journey throughout this year! 🤍🤍
You seem so mature. Your natural hair looks so good. I can’t believe your almost out of high school. Hope your doing well!
caroline’s skin is GLOWINGG😍
caro, i literally love your videos and wait for them every week! i love how you’re so open and real all the time, keep being you!! ❤️
I love your black hair to be honest. It gives a grown look and I feel like it really compliments you! Not that I hated the blonde!
Idk how much you realize how much joy your videos bring me :)
Omgg Caro I love the darker hair don’t get me wrong the blonde was gorgeous but definitely love the brunette more it makes you look more like yourself :))
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate that she takes her time to film these videos to keep us updated on her life this is my I love her she is so inspiring and she inspires me with everything I do and I cant wait to see more videos like these!!🥰🥰💖💖💜💜
I can't believe you're going to graduate soon ! Love you so much and watched you and your videos for a while now 🤍
Girlll youre graduating 2 days before my birthday idek why but it makes me so happy its going to be a happy week
OMG CARO ❤ AHHHHH SO PROUD OF YOU
Yes Caro the sorority/ greek life is hard for me to pick too!!! I also want to rush but it’s also the same I love being social but I love my down time! It is so hard !! Love you
I LOVEEE THE BRUNETTE HAIR and im really loving ur natural lashes you should literally model caroline
Tbh you would look hella good with like a darkish red hair 😍😌 you be a whole baddie Caroline
wow idk what it is but Caroline seems really different in this video and I'm loving it, I can't wait to see what's to come!
I definitely say join a sorority!! It's a great way to meet people especially when you don't know anybody at the college. I follow a few UA-camrs who are in sororities and LOVE seeing their rush and other Greek life content!! As for down time, since you have your own house outside of campus I think you will be able to manage a good balance of work life with social media and school/Greek life.
thank you for your honesty, you look beautiful and hope everything goes well for your house in Boise!
