By Paul Daly\u00a0\"Paul<\/h2>\n

Since moving to the UK for Erasmus I have had so much spare time on my hands \u2013 no seriously, I have!\u00a0I mentioned in my previous column that I only have two days of classes a week so as you can imagine the time can sometimes drag if I\u2019m not kept busy.\u00a0I do spend a lot of my spare time in the radio and TV studios in MediaCityUK but that doesn\u2019t even occupy me enough!\u00a0I guess I could\u2019ve been doing my three assignments that were all due the same week just before the Easter break \u2013 but why would I ever be rational with my work? I mean half the excitement of assignments is the race against time, right?<\/p>\n

Anyways, as I was saying I have loads of free time, which I spend wisely on Youtube.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve began watching popular YouTube channels such as PointlessBlog and Thatcher Joe and I just find it so fascinating that these people are actually making a living from Vlogging!\u00a0I have to admit though; some of the videos are brilliant and hilariously funny so I recommend you guys check them out.<\/p>\n

\"PaulI actually decided to watch YouTubers\u2019 channels from a documentary we watched in class for one of my modules showing how popular YouTube channels generate money.\u00a0It showed how their lives are affected from YouTube fame and it was extremely interesting and actually quite surprising.\u00a0So I definitely recommend you to check that out. It\u2019s also available on YouTube (search: \u2018The Creators | OFFICIAL Documentary Film feat. Zoella, TomSka & NikiNSammy<\/a>\u2019)<\/p>\n

If you have a YouTube channel then make sure to subscribe to BBC Radio 1.\u00a0I\u2019ve spent countless hours watching videos posted by BBC Radio 1 \u2013 from live lounge acoustic sessions with James Bay, Ed Sheeran and Hozier, to Nick Grimshaw\u2019s infamous Call or Delete.\u00a0It\u2019s brilliant \u2013 BBC Radio 1 has also posted some hilarious videos of presenter Greg James remaking popular music videos from SIA and Miley Cyrus, so that\u2019s bound to have you in stitches!<\/p>\n

If you guys follow any interesting or funny YouTube channels then make sure to let me know!\u00a0I\u2019d love to hear from you! You can tweet me @PaulDaly_.<\/p>\n
