I was going to college for broadcast journalism because I knew whatever career path I would take, I knew I wanted to be talking to as many people as possible and inspiring as many people as possible, particularly girls. When I was in college, I was like, 'I know I'm going to be on camera a lot when I'm older if I fall into my dream job.'

Just because #ad or #spon is there doesn't mean I'm only doing it for money. I make sure, in the text, that it's very obvious that I'm having fun.

My channel is really a positive outlet for people to come every day after school. I make my videos so that people can have something happy to turn to - a positive message. I'm making it okay to talk about stuff.

Topics that are hard to talk about can be difficult for a lot of people, but it's important that we make sure we're addressing difficult topics/issues so it doesn't become the norm.

You're the only person that can make your life happen.

If you're going somewhere international, try to learn a little bit of the language. It goes a long way to be able to introduce yourself, ask for things, and even say hello to someone in a new country!

I was hanging out with some of my friends who are on television shows, and when we went to get lunch, people came up to me and not them. It was this really weird moment where you're realizing that the digital world is getting so big, and it's colliding with everything else.

Learning some of the names and countries of my subscribers and what life is like for them is really cool.

When I first started my channel, I was a freshman in college and worked at a pizzeria, but I still made YouTube a priority because I was passionate about it.

I had a moment where I had reached 200,000 followers. At the time, a lot of people would get to that number on YouTube, and they'd stop growing. I was really scared because I didn't want that to happen to me, so when I reached 200,000 subscribers, I was like, 'Eva, you have to do this. You have to work hard and push past this number.'

I have been writing since I was a kid and thought what I wrote down could one day be made into a book.

A lot of girls on YouTube want to show their personality, but they are afraid because they think people only want them to do beauty videos. That's just not true.

I post less-than-flattering selfies and don't try to change who I am to make people like me. I try to show people that they don't have to be afraid to show their goofy side.

I was inspired by comedy channels. I loved that they got to do sketches and could be funny and crude and make people laugh. But most of those channels, if not all of them, were done by guys.

I love the Shore at Katathani in Thailand! They have the best pool.

I never really set out to have people see my videos.

I take the time to understand my generation and what they want. Whether it's on Tumblr, Pinterest, or Twitter, I see what they are re-Vining or re-blogging and incorporate it into my YouTube channel.

Eva Gutowski

I'm having a lot of fun playing myself out there on YouTube and showing who I am and getting to do projects that make me happy versus satisfy what people think a girl should be doing.

If you really want something, you just have to promise yourself that you won't stop until it happens.

I'm always thinking about the viewers.
