‘My following raises eyebrows’: Molly on being a YouTuber at uni

Running a YouTube channel alongside full-time education is not an easy job, but I’ve been doing it for the last four years - throughout sixth form, when my YouTube channel really began to grow, and now as a student at Leeds Arts University.

I was nervous about the transition to university for multiple reasons, but one of the main things that made me apprehensive was how people would react when they found out I had a ‘following’ online. People in school and sixth form hadn’t been overly kind about it and the last thing I wanted was a repeat of those few years, so naturally I was nervous.
