Youtube University // (editing)

Chapter 2: Le Penthouse

I get off the plane, expecting to see a runway, an airport, at least. But we landed on the lawn of a huge building. The building was mostly glass, and the walls projected different GIFs going off on different parts of the glass. The top of the building was marble, and in gold, was a sign that said Youtube University. How original.

"Welcome to Youtube University!" the man's voice boomed in the building. "We are so glad you could make it today." a few murmurs. "Well, we kind of made you, either you keep your job or not, and many of you all decided to stay." "Anyways, I am Jacob Smith, head of Youtube University, and I am here to welcome you." a couple more negative murmurs. "Now that I have welcomed you, we are passing out student handbooks. If you violate these rules, they could result in suspension or expulsion. Also, check your Google+ accounts to figure out which dorm, which room, and which roomate you get. Have a nice day." Some people shouted some things after that. iPhones were flung. But then we all eventually exited the autotorium to go to our rooms. They had delivered our baggage to our rooms, but I still had my backpack with me. I got my iPad out of it to check Google+, and a video came up.

Welcome, Demi Black! You are staying in the Comedy dormitorium. Your roommate will be announced once you get there.

I find my way to the Comedy dorm, right next to the Gaming and Factual dorms. The dorm is made up of one way mirrors, and has a garden in the back. When I go inside, there is a long winding hallway. I finally reach the end, which has a hand scan, and a voice scanner. I place my hand and say "Hello?" Demi Black, welcome. The door slides open. "How did they get my fingerprint?" "Welcome to the Comedy dormroom, where the comedians of YouTube live, who are you?" a nice lady at the front desk asks me. "I am Demi Black." "Well hello there! Here is your room key, you are on the top floor, and you have 4 roommates, all of which are female. They are all currently upstairs in your room." "Well, thank you." I take the elevator up, and press the button that is labeled PENTHOUSE.

When I get there, they're all watching TV, except for Mamrie, who's on her laptop. "Guys, this is the girl I was talking about! She's our roommate!" The three get off the couch. "I know," one of the blondes say. "I requested her. Since I'm the eighth most paid YouTuber, they even let me bring Mr. Marbles and Kermit." She didn't brag about it though, she said it as if it were a fact. "I'm Jenna," the tall blonde says. "This is Hannah Hart," she points to the shorter blonde with the snapback on. "and this is Grace Helbig." Grace gives an awkward "hi." "Cool, so what are you guys watching?" "Just the LA news flipping out that the whole neighborhood's gone," Hannah says laughing. "This university is a bunch of bull. They don't even have a mascot." Mamrie says, sipping her tequila. "So a ram would make you feel better, Mamrie?" Jenna says laughing. (Author's note: Mamrie went to the best college ever, UNC. The mascot is a ram) "Hey, don't make fun of Ramses! Anyways, want me to show you around the penthouse, Dem?" "Yeah, sure!"

(Author's Note: I drew a map of the penthouse, a link will be added of it)

Update 21:36 4/5/14: After three hours of trying, the map is up!

"So, when do classes start?" "Tomorrow," Hannah replied, grilling some chicken on the stove. She volunteered to make us dinner tonight, since we had practically every type of food you could imagine fully stocked in our kitchen. "We all have Comedy, Improv, Gaming, and Editing together! That's four out of seven classes." "Gaming? Oh, well." Hannah finishes grilling the food, and yells "Dinner's ready! We're eating by the firepit." Nobody comes. "I've got alcohol!" That definitely worked. Jenna sprinted from her bed, Mamrie got off her Twitter, and Grace got off her Tumblr.

"So, Hannah, Jenna, Mames and I know each other well, but WE know nothing about you! So, we thought we would ask you some awesome questions." "Okay," I say, a bit nervous. I have never collaborated with anyone on my channel, or any one else's for that matter. So, I hadn't really gotten to know any YouTubers.
