College Day In My Life | Midterm Exams, Classes, Studying | The University of Alabama 

“You’ve changed so much” is the biggest compliment. The fact that you aren’t relatable to someone means you have developed and skyrocketed and best version of yourself. When people say that , they want you to stay the same so they feel better about themselves. You are incredible and have upgraded so much. But the best part you’ve kept your kindness and humblenesss

The term “relatable” can vary to each person! I’m a 29 year old mother of two and I love watching your videos. There are different things people can relate to in your content, not just sororities and college! Just showing yourself having bad day will inspire someone and allow people to relate to you. So thank you for showing your authentic self and people will always be able to “ relate” to that.

Literally everybody changes in 4 years. Weird that people get so attached to an older version of you and get upset about that. Girl I love your channel! 💕 people need to check their expectations

Well I watch your videos to help with my anxiety with my daughter leaving for college. I always feel so much better after I watch your videos. You're so positive and uplifting. You focus on trying to make your life better and making healthy choices. I would love to see videos on more seasonal videos and videos on self-care, body care, perfume.

Awww Lauren when you got upset it broke my heart for you. I’ve watched since your freshman year. Everyone changes and grows throughout life. As a 47 y/o old mom to two boys, I enjoy your videos so much. You are so strong and independent. Don’t let others bend your beautiful angel wings. Hope your midterms went well. Some videos I’d to see are more travel Vlogs. I love your videos of you and Will driving to your destinations.

I am a Mom and started watching your videos to help my daughter with her dorm room. You and my daughter are both seniors this year. My daughter is not the same as she was when she was a Freshman. You both have grown into Wonderful, Beautiful young woman that are taking on the world. Don't let anyone stop you from growing and being that Girl, who just went for it!!! Love your channel from the start and will keeping watching as you grow. You are like my RU-vid daughter now.

Lauren, don’t listen to negative comments. I enjoy watching your videos and am very proud of you. I am a 54 year old Mom who discovered your Vlog while researching colleges and sororities. You are a down to Earth person who is fun, has self respect, values and you’ve grow into a beautiful woman. Your a good role model for young girls and I can’t wait to see what great things life has in store for you. Never give up on yourself.

Oh girl I felt every second of your little “break down” in the car! I’m on my way to becoming a lawyer in Germany and sometimes I think it’s all too much and I just want it all to be easier. And it’s never just one thing - it’s always ten thousand things at once! But as soon as you come out on the other, brighter side (and you will, some day or a week later) the feeling is so so great! You‘ll look back on everything that you are struggling with at the moment and you’ll be so proud because you’ll realize how strong you were. And the fact that you get up everyday to study, work and do your best is something to look up to and be proud of! And I was scared of tests too but at some point I just asked myself “Why?”. I (and you too I guess) took so many tests in my life during school, Uni and now at the court and never did anything bad happen..maybe I failed or the grade wasn’t great, but nothing HAPPENED. I survived and I moved on and I got better :) I am tired of being scared or anxious about something that I’m reality should test my knowledge.. maybe you can think about that too ❤

Coming from a 28 year old, everyone changes. If you don’t change in your 4 years of college, then there’s a problem. Also you’re probably one of the most “relatable” influencer I watch. Keep your head up, you’re doing great 💖

just a reminder that you are so relatable!! being stressed with college and midterms is so relatable!! i have major test anxiety and to see someone else go through it is SO comforting!!! you got this!!

Lauren, you are a boss girl. Don’t let the haters bring you down. You’ve changed for the better and you’re such an inspiration to watch. I admire your motivation to be your best self! You’re the best!

Be proud of yourself. Not everyone is brave enough to share their life on such a huge platform. You are brave!

I’m a “non-traditional” student who has returned to school - and an older student at that. I’ve been a subscriber for a few months now and I’m so happy that you do this! While I’m still not in the same age group, I still have the same attitude and excitement about school and my future life! Not really any of my classmates have the same happy attitude and desire to be organized and adding self improvement into your “own course schedule” at the same time. I feel like I “fit in” - not many people have the drive to be the best they can be. Don’t let others opinions get you down. I binge watched your older videos and from what I see the outside may be different, but you still have the same core. You don’t really call people names when they are agitating you, you don’t swear all over the place (or I wouldn’t support you) and as far as I’m concerned, have portrayed your self as a lady - choosing a career that helps others and especially caring for children - trying to bring a positive influence into the world. Not to mention that you included some XL and up clothing sizes in your line which most boutiques don’t do. That’s supporting women no matter what size they are and that speaks loud volumes for who you are. Don’t worry about what the few who don’t see much say…. There are those out there who support you can see the much more …what a lovely person you are!!!!✌🏼🫶🏼😃 from an x-ray student in Florida!!!

I'd love to see a full makeup/skin care video where you also go over which products you use etc. You always look flawless!

ppl rlly need to start thinking abt what’s going on in other ppls personal lives and put themselves in others shoes bc life is so hard sometimes and that one little comment can create such a big insecurity and mean ppl don’t realize that. you are doing SO SO good lauren. i’m so proud of all you’ve accomplished and i just want you to know that you’ve impacted my life so greatly. i love you, we love you, haters only hate on sweet ppl. you’ve got this baby!💜💜

It's okay to change over time. It is a natural part of life. You are still an inspiration since the day you started your RU-vid channel.

You are so correct that everyone changes and grows! I'm a 57 year old mom of 3. Keep on doing YOU! My thought is that the people who are "accusing" you of changing have also most likely changed, so maybe what they need to relate to/connect to is just as much about their change/growth even more so than yours! Just be your authentic self always!!!! A mom and Pi Phi alum from the Midwest!

Lauren, you are the best version of yourself! Don't let the comments get to you, remember for every one person critiquing you there's thousands that love you for you! I'm sure you did great on your tests! Keep your head up! ♡

I would love to see: routines, cleaning, organisation, travel and pamper days 😊👌

It would be weird if someone didn’t change in 4 years…you’re growing and becoming better and better every year and I’ve watched it❤️ keep doing what you’re doing and working hard!

lauren💛we don’t listen to the haters:) the fact they took time to comment just reflects on how they feel about themselves to spread hate. we pray for them and move on💛your doing amazing and SUCH a great person. we don’t need them!! you’ve got so many people routing for you, we got your back. love you queen🥳

Oh my Lauren you have grown so much and it's wonderful. Unfortunately those that think you should stay the same to please them aren't living in reality. Somehow they can't grasp that you are a real person and not a character on a sitcom. Don't let those people dull your shine. I am guaranteed old enough to be your mom and I find your videos relatable and they make me smile (my college experience was in the 1980s so much different but in many ways the same). Smile because you are wonderful exactly as you are and those who think you should not change don't matter.

What people need to understand is that they are not entitled to the lives of other people. You owe them nothing!! You’ve grown as a person and if they can’t keep up with that then that’s on them. You have accomplished sooo much these last 4 months, hold your head high. You deserve to!

If someone is speaking about how you’ve changed - you out grew them. You are amazing!!! ❤

I don't often comment on any RU-vid videos but I wanted to say that I'm a married 32 year old, from the UK, didn't go to University and have a completely different demeanour/style/personality etc to you but I still enjoy watching you. You seem like a lovely person and remind me of Elle Woods (one of my fave movies!). Just because you can't relate to a person doesn't mean anything!! If you don't change between the ages of 18-25 there's something wrong. You may have changed, but I see it as evolved. You're going on to the next chapters, growing up and becoming a fantastic human. Keep doing you. xo

Be yourself Lauren! Be you! Love yourself and you know who you are more than anyone. You are a positive and motivated young woman who has the motivation and strength to be the best version of yourself. Those negative comments and only a jealous judgement from those who lack confidence within themselves. Try not to let their "lack of confidence" bring you down!! XO

I can’t believe your a senior already! I’m three years younger than you and I feel like a proud little sister I’ve watched you since the beginning and grew up as you did. Your doing big things Lauren I’m so freaking proud. Keep doing what your doing beautiful!

Lauren you’re supposed to change!!! Especially over the course of 4 years! You’re doing just fine, you are exactly where you are meant to be, and doing what you are meant to. We love you Lauren 🤍🤍🤍

Bestie pls don't cry:'( 😢 I love you and a lot of people do and I really look up to you so much.and if people want to be cyber bullies and give you hate comments they can be annoying and rude just know we are here for you😘💖

I love your college vlogs. still can’t believe this is your last year in school but I hope you do really well on your exams ❤

Girlll it is okay to evolve. I mean I am senior in med school and I have grown so much these past 4 years in college. And I think growing up is what it’s supposed to be , if you’re not evolving then something isn’t right. I love your content and I think you’re the most relatable person I have come across on RU-vid ❤❤

Girl, this is your life we're talking about here, It's YOUR experience before it is anyone else's entertainment. Don't let anyone take away from that because it's not relatable to them. We all change, it's a part of being human so celebrate it! (also a bit of a sidenote but my 17-year-old self would look at me now at 22 and think that i've turned into a stupid preppy because my aesthetic's changed entirely in 5 years which is honestly kind of funny to think about)

You ARE relatable, I’ve been watching you for a few years and stay strong and BE YOU!!! You got this. Others project their own insecurities onto others, it’s them not you.

Lauren, yes you have changed, but for the better. I have seen the mental mindset growth as well as you as a young lady. You are killing it as a student, business woman and RU-vidr. I'm a mum, and I would be so proud to see the way you have changed and grown over the years. College will change you outlooks, you habits etc and that is all perfectly normal. Progression over Perfection. You have helped me change how I see things and are helping me through my uni days here in the UK. I'm 33, so not really your demographic at all! But you have shown mw so much. Keep being you! Don't change for anyone!

Lauren, you ARE different and I’m so here for it. Just like I was here for it when you started. I’ve been following for so long and I’ve loved all the things. ❤❤

Relatable is such a fluid term though! I'm 30 years old and married but I JUST started RU-vid so you inspire me so much! Apart from a love for pink and RU-vid we probably have nothing in common but I love your videos!!!

When you mentioned that hate comment, I was honestly surprised that someone would say that. I have said this multiple times, but you are literally my role model. You work so hard, and youtube is not all cupcakes and rainbows. It is a job that requires work, but is rewarding in the end. Change is good. Everyone matures and grows as a person and no one should stay the exact same throughout their life. I have personally dealt with mean girls, since I am a sophomore in high school, and I hope that comment will blow over soon. I hope this comment makes you smile, and encourages you to not care what other people think. Do what you want to do with you life. Love your channel! Hope you have an amazing day Lauren!!!

Having a bad day is valid, I love that you share this cause as someone who is also in college it helps to feel seen/understood ALSO, change is natural. The way you have grown in college makes so much sense because change sometimes is a good thing. The way you have blossomed into a confident girl who still has a heart of gold. Don't let them tear you down. I know I have changed a lot since I first entered college and it was the best thing I did for my mental health.

I’ve been out of college for a number of years and yet I find you very relatable and I really like your content. I enjoy watching you, your stories, and trust me you’re doing a great job. People who are bullies, be it in person or via the internet, have issues. In the end it’s not about you, it’s about their insecurities and the need to make themselves feel better by picking on someone else. Best wishes and keep your chin up - you’re doing amazing.

I found your channel a few months ago and look forward to each of your posts. I’m old enough to be your grandmother and want you to know that I have changed/evolved each and every year of my life. If you follow your dreams and aspirations, you will always grow. I’m sure most of us felt your stress watching this video but after the tears, you calmed down and had a good evening. Maybe the negative comments were just the release that you needed. I’m not “everybody’s cup of tea” either but I’m the best version of myself. Keep on being you and don’t change for anyone! We love you Lauren!

I think you’re so relatable and the most real RU-vidr I watch!!! Don’t feel like you can’t change bc that’s exactly what you should do in college and as you grow! Proud of u for finishing midterms 👏🏼

Everyone changes, it is part of life. 4 years is along time. University is a defining time in your life and helps to shape you. For many it is there 1st time moving away from home, new responcibilites so of course you are going to change and adapt. If someone doesn't accept that or doesn't like the 'new' you, they need to move on. You have grown so much and be proud of it. Everything in our lives shape us. The more experiences and time we have lived the more we grow. Expecting someone to be the same as they were 4 years ago is insane. I started University as a 17 year old country kid who had never lived in a city with traffic lights, and who was so unsure of my own self worth and self identity. Now I am a 22 year old PhD student that is proud of who I am and how far I have come and (somewhat) knows who I am. I am not the same person I was and am happy about it.

Anyone who doesn’t grow and change in college didn’t do it right! That’s the point of the college experience. Whoever said that is projecting on you. We’re so proud of you Lauren! Keep growing!

lauren gf you’re such a sweet girl. trust me talk is cheap, actions are expensive. people can hide behind a screen but it’s what their actions are in their own lives, that speaks the most. praying that the Lord comforts you in this time! lean on Him and it’ll all be okay. sending hugs ❤️

Lauren you don’t need to worry about them haters! They are just jealous! Love you Lauren!💜

You always seem so together. The fact that your cat scratches your furniture and you have minor “me,t down” moments makes me admire you more and it’s nice to see the less “together” side of you. 💜💜💜

You’ll change even more after college and you’ll be even better!!!!! College just helps you grow into who you’re suppose to be. 💖

don't let that comment affect u u are beautiful be yourself and if no one else found u relatable I think u are u will always have me beside u go Lauren 😊

you should do a " what i wear in a week for college " video, your outfits are always so cute

Baby Elle just glowing in the sunshine! Your growth has been positive. Stay hydrated, rested, in your lane and get it girl.

Can’t wait for your RU-vid series. Influencer tips. Etc. insta and TikTok. Excited for your blog as well. ❤

I have been following you since you had a small community, yes you have changed since then but it has been amazing watching you grow. I still love your videos and sometimes watch old ones that I enjoyed. I wish people who no longer find you relatable just stopped watching rather than comment. Just remember you have a community that still enjoys your videos and don’t stop being you!! Much love xx

Hey Lauren, please don't let negative comments get to you whilst it is easier said than done, you have matured and you have grown into this amazing woman that we see before us, never let anyone make you doubt yourself, it is clear that there are some people who are not happy in their life or want to make changes so they have to hate on others that do, we need to change to grow and learn. My daughter and I love your channel please just keep being you, Hugs and Love for Australia.

Good luck with midterms Lauren. I hope you do awesome.

I agree with the others that say “relatable” is objective. I don’t relate to you. I’m in my 30s. I work full time as a staff accountant. Your style isn’t my style. But I find your videos so entertaining and fun. If someone doesn’t “relate” to you and can’t enjoy your videos for what they are, then they are not the type of person that you’re trying to reach and they are welcome to find another channel! Don’t let them get you down. 😘

Good morning Lauren happy Tuesday and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

You inspire me. Don't let anyone dim your light. You are a beautiful young lady and I am proud of the woman you have become, and cannot wait to see where you go.

Stay strong ❤ people that don’t grow and are not able to change, are people that comment that you change. It is jealousy. You are so fun to watch. Stay as positive as you are and keep growing, and leave jealous people behind 🎉

Love your videos, love you, love your personality and light. Please keep at what you’re doing and don’t let those people bring you down. 💕

Hi! I am a junior in high school and I can relate to various parts of your videos! Don't let a few comments bring you down! I love you so much and look forward to your videos every week! I would love to see like skin care/ hair care products that you love! Also if you could, any updated sorority house rooms that have been updated since your time in the house! ❤

I love your videos! And we are here for you girl!! Don't ever sell yourself short.

i’m obsessed with your vibe

Lauren Norris you are my favorite vlogger and I’ve been watching you for years! 💕 Seeing you change and grow has inspired me to push myself in the same way and its one of the reasons I love keeping up with your journey. Through all the good change over the years, you have always stayed the same caring, kind, and real woman to me. I’m sorry that some comments have you feeling down, know that I always think the best of you 🥰 I hope midterms went well!

Nobody is meant to “stay the same” were meant to grow , and evolve , and try to better ourselves and figure out who we are and want to be. You aren’t done growing and changing until you are dying , you have only changed in ways that have shown your growth and it’s made you more inspiring over the years soo anyone to say anything negative clearly has that bitter hateful type personality 🙄 you are doing big things, and at a young age, be SO proud. As THOUSANDS of us are proud of you 🎉

I have watched you since the beginning, and you have definitely changed. For the better, for sure! We aren’t supposed to stay the same! Change is good! Your not 21 anymore! I love you and your channel! Keep being yourself! 🥰

I don't know why many people need to make this comment to RU-vidrs. It's natural to grow up and change. Sadly its part of life that you may grow in different direction, but you should never be judged for doing so! If these people are not jelling with you vibe they should just stop watching, instead of bringing negativity. In four Years you have accomplished many do in a life time, I for one think its amazing! you vids bring a smile to my face and many others......

i would love like an apartment tour or maybe even a video on how you stay organized, study, and be productive!! also, you're an inspiration, so don't let anyone steal ur fire!!

Lauren, I love you so so much. Every time I watch your vlogs I feel like I’m your friend and I’m just hanging with you and talking. Your vibe is amazing and your career journey has come so far. I know you rocked those tests, your so kind, your so caring, and I will always be there for you. I also get really bad test anxiety so your not alone. I’ve had a bunch of stuff going on in my life recently so we can get through this together❤❤❤ Like you always say be the girl that just went for it. Love you! ❤️💕💗😘🥰

It’s ok to change ~ you are maturing and best of luck! Can you talk about how you organize or how you handle your anxiety 💕

We love you Lauren don’t let people get to you you are a better version of your self you are a little different but your different is good every one changes the future in life you go I don’t see how I changed but I have changed com a way and changes are good anyway love you Lauren stay you and don’t let anyone or anything get you down😊

Everyone grows as they go through life. I have not watched you since freshman year but I don't think you are different. I think you are a wonderful person who doesn't pretend to be someone she's not. Keep being you and try not to let the haters to get to you. I also have anxiety and my mantra with my niece is just breathe and you got this! ❤😊

I think you are such a amazing inspirational person I look up to you and you have changed but in the most amazing way possible

Elle is so fluffy and looks so soft. I am happy you have her to hug when all of this is over and for her to relax with you and help you de-stress with her. Heck, you will need a definite few days of nothing but relaxing stuff. I enjoy long baths and hot tea and a good old movie to watch.

“Airdrop these notes into my brain” that was the most Gen z thing I heard 😂

I'd love to see either your weekly or monthly reset routine if you have one.💖

I am currently sick and have been struggling for the past few days. But watching your vlogs always brings me joy because of your personality. Thank you for putting a smile on my face during this sucky time :)

Keep being you girl! I always love your content and never think of you as being unrelatable or anything. You've grown and matured and that's so important! Also would love to see video(s) on starting a RU-vid channel/ways to grow your channel 💞

Everyone changes over the years Lauren! You inspire me and don’t ever think that becoming a better person is a bad thing!🥺

Just want to say I think it’s funny people say you aren’t relatable when I was literally thinking the whole time I was watching that it feels so good to know I’m not the only one who freaks out about tests! Love you so much girl don’t let haters get to you!!!❤️❤️

As someone in her first few years of work I can relate - not only do I look forward to and love your content, I think it is wonderful you change and grow. You always keep it so real. Anytime you post I tell my mom all about how inspired I am! So ignore the haters and please keep doing you!

Everyone grows and changes. Don't listen to them, you are a lovely lady and you should be proud of all you have done and achieved so far. Am sure you did really well in your exams.

I graduated high school 20 years ago and decided to go back to school during lockdown. I have 6 exams and 3 projects due between this week and next and I have binged so many of your videos in the last week or so. I absolutely adore you ❤❤❤

Love your channel and videos! Love your vibe ❤❤ keep slaying queen!❤

Thank you for being your yourself and sharing your light ❤god blessed you 😊

Omg! I always hated the first exam of the semester. You could study til you were blue in the face, but never felt prepared lol glad that’s all over with! 😅

Could you do a “prepare for the week with me” or “help me plan my week” like filling out a planner or something. Or how you stay ahead or keep up with your assignments. You just have a lot on your plate and I would love to see how you keep up with all of it!

Yea, no one is going to be the same in 4 years! Love your videos 😍❤️

Hey Lauren!! I have been loving your videos !! Thank you so much for sharing your college experience with us! It’s been really helpful as I’ve been going into college! ❤

I love you 1 million times more now than four years ago I can binge watching now much easier than before I love this version of you

Lauren, people change on a daily basis. Don't feed into the haters. You do what's best for YOU. Yes, RU-vid is your job but you don't need the stress that causes the breakdown you went through in this video.

Don’t even give those haters a second thought Lauren. Change is NORMAL. the fact that they HAVEN’T changed is what is not normal. You are EXACTLY WHERE YOU NEED TO BE 😊🤗 keep being you girly🥰

You are incredible and you have grown so much! It’s beautiful and we all love you💕💕

I know that obviously you’d have to plan this, and it can be expensive, but I’d love another Lauren at Disney video! I’m going to Disney next month for my birthday and it’s just all I can think about!

You are amazing and strong and totally reliable! I love your videos and they brighten my days. Your videos are my mental health ❤️

"Everyone changes. And that's okay to change and that's okay to grow."💮 Honestly Lauren, this is EXACTLY true. If someone comes into college and leaves the exact same person, that's not a good thing. As you grow, some of your audience will probably change. I personally find you 'more relatable' now than when I was watching you in your sophomore year. (Though I enjoyed your content just as much then btw). You are juggling college plus a full-time job plus all your other commitments and so your content will change, just as your life changes. If someone doesn't find it "relatable" anymore, maybe it's because their life is kind of boring and a little empty. Don't let those comments get to you. We still love you and your content.

Girl, I have 2 kids and your videos are relatable! That person commenting is reachingggg, I promise 🥰

Don't cry Lauren ❤️ ignore that person. You're so relatable and you have changed but like you said everyone does and if a person never does change they aren't growing or challenging them selves. You have grown so much since the beginning in a good way ✌🏻❤️🌺

You are a nice kind person. Don't listen to the hate comments. You are doing great and I love watching your videos 🙂.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH WHEN U POST!! i am a sophomore in high school and i was wondering maybe u could do like a high school q and a for girls in high school or advice??

So incredibly proud of you Lauren!!!!
