Many people begin making vlogs for posterity’s sake. But who would have guessed that vlogs made for posterity would be relevant to non-family member viewers and would, in fact, be some of the most interesting vlogs to view?
Several young vloggers have recently grown up before our eyes thanks to posterity, and have made interesting content to boot. For example, Phil Hamilton, of Phil Hamilton Hits The Big Time, is a sixteen year-old high school student that has recently begun learning to drive. This post is not only hilarious (Phil and his mother CLEARLY have different priorities here) but also harkens a universal nostalgia to all who have previously endured driving lessons from a parent.
The young man behind I Am Dooser has recently started going to college. His video about this recent phenomenon is simple but cuts to the chase, and made me proud of him despite me never meeting him in person. He has recently done a follow-up to his announcement as a college freshman by asking vloggers for art to hang on his bare dorm walls. I, for one, need to get on this ASAP. Thank goodness I never lived in a dorm.
Finally, Ian Mills of The 05 Project has hit the vlogosphere with a double-whammy, creating a two-part post announcing the beginning of college AND the beginning of life as a working stiff, and is dealing with the reality that too much work plus not enough time equals very little sleep. His previous posts dealing with the hiring process are also hilarious, and bring to light all of the dreaded/anticipated moments of the hiring call-back.
Please go check out these posts if you haven’t done so already, and be sure to leave comments on their vlogs, as we all need a little encouragement from time to time.

Thanks Jenn. That was a great article. I really enjoyed reading it. Being long-time watchers of both Ian and Phil, I can agree with you opinions.
