[Music] hello and welcome to a new reading blog I skipped a reading blog last week I talked more about the reason why and my may wrap up so link that down below because that will be up before this video I also talked about it more on Twitter so you can look there and once again if I'm ever going to miss a reading vlog or a videos going to be late or whatever I always update you guys on Twitter so I recommend following me there if you don't want to miss anything but today is going to be a crazy busy day I'm not going to be updating you guys a lot and that's partially because it's going to be a really crazy week and this blog will already probably be very long and that is because tomorrow I leave for New York City to go to be a and book on I can't believe that this is like already happening it honestly doesn't feel real I'm so excited I'm so nervous I think it's going to be really fun I kind of just want to get there and then I'll be all set but I'm hoping I'll be able to get this glove up on time because I'm flying back on the Monday so I'm gonna try and I think like edit during the week I don't really know what's gonna happen but we still don't have Wi-Fi it has been two weeks we ended up switching internet providers because we were so upset with coach go for the absolutely awful service we were getting though now the new Wi-Fi is getting installed on Tuesday which is when I leave so super but next week I'm only home for like one day then my sister's get home then we have a wedding and then I'm off to California for a month so I have been pre filming videos like crazy this past week and now I need to get them uploaded but I need to go to a friend's house to get them uploaded do you see all the stress that is happening yep so now I'm going to go and do that because I still need to finish packing do some last-minute things it's fine look who's outside and vlogging in public with other people so I am here with Hanna and Kat and the talk show and we have been hanging out and now we're going to go to a showtune bar I don't know if you can see the sign this is why I don't blah but it's going to be really fun we're meeting some other people here but you should be proud of me for vlogging in public look at this we are having fun I know there are people everywhere and I am NOT panicking we're good hello I'm actually starting the vlog at a normal time today so today is be a day one and we are going to go and pick up our badges and stuff and I'm very excited to get there so I'm gonna do an outfit of the day because that's what Hanna tonight just

kitten to another I know girl this one just wants to play though she wants nothing to do with me right now anyways I just wanted to talk a little bit about my experience at book on NBA and really what I wanted to say was that it was absolutely incredible I wasn't really sure of what to expect going into it I was really excited to get some arcs but I didn't really know what was going to be there because I was most excited to finally meet my online friends the Internet is a really funny place where it's really easy to feel like you're part of a social circle but it's also easy to feel like you're on the outskirts of that social circle and I feel like I'm definitely not alone in saying that I think everyone at one point feels like they're an outsider no matter what online community you are a part of and I know that's definitely something that I've struggled with but the main thing that I think this week taught me is that I'm not an outsider and none of you guys are outsiders even if you feel like it obviously it's never easy when you're not always able to go to events and you're seeing all your friends having fun and stuff but that doesn't mean that you're not just as much a part of the online community as they are this community is incredible to be a part of because everyone is honestly so accepting and so absolutely incredible and I just love how many people I was able to meet and I loved meeting old friends that I've known for years I can honestly say there's not one person that I didn't feel welcomed by and it was just such a beautiful experience I can't even put into words how full my heart is everyone in this community is so incredible so successful and it's so amazing to see all of my friends being so successful and finding themselves in this community it was just I can't even describe it honestly I sound stupid but I just love everyone so much and it was so nice to be able to meet everyone and I just can't even wait for next year and to go to like all of the events that I possibly can now I also really wanted to say thank you to all of you guys who came up to me and came to say hi it was so amazing to meet so many of you I was overwhelmed but like it was so worth the experience I just absolutely loved it in particular I wanted to say thank you to the girl who gave me a copy of Alice in Wonderland that was absolutely incredible I didn't get your name and I'm so sorry I was just so overwhelmed so please DM me on Instagram or Twitter or like tweet me or comment down below and tell me who you are I also met a lovely girl named Quinn and I wanted to say thank you so much to Quinn for saying hi to me I tried to find your photo on Instagram that we took again but you had only mentioned me in the caption so I couldn't so if you would like tagged me or comment down below or tweet me or something once again so that I can find that that would be cool I also wanted to really thank Sarah Rose for the note that she gave me and just honestly thank you to all of you you had so many nice things to say and I'm still just like trying to process everything that has happened if you saw me and didn't say hi to me please say hi next time I don't buy a promise I am a very nice human or at least I like to think so and I honestly love meeting as many of you guys as I can I think that was all that I really wanted to say I hope you guys liked this vlog I know it's not going to be as good as everyone else's but please keep in mind this is my first time like vlogging in public a lot and vlogging a big event so I will improve I think it's a pretty good vlog but I don't know we'll see so thank you guys so much for watching you will see in my ba slash book on book haul probably tomorrow hopefully fingers crossed but we'll see if I get it up on time but I will see you guys in my next video bye [Music] [Music]
