No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
In her first-ever ( sort of ) memoir, the beloved actor and YouTube sensation gets personal about everything from mental health to drunken debaucheries.
As an only child raised in a town of less than 8,000 people and without a Starbucks in sight, Meghan Rienks has always been pretty good at entertaining herself. Then one daycue the dramatic voiceoverher life changed forever.
On June 12th, 2010, Meghan was diagnosed with mononucleosis. Mono is basically just a really bad case of the flu, right? Wrong. To a party crazed 16-year-old, mono is social suicide. More than anything, its just plain boring. So, Meghan opened up her 2009 MacBook, used the webcam for something other than a bad Andy Warhol-style photobooth session, and recorded her first YouTube video. Since then, Meghan has shared the ups and downs of her life with the internet, documenting her teenage years for the whole world to see.
Now that shes (mostly) through her awkward stage, Meghans here to tell you that it gets better. Youre not alone in the thoughts you think. Sometimes a bad hair day feels worse than a punch in the gut and asking a boy out seems about as difficult as achieving that perfect dewy glow. But despite what youve been told, your problems are not unique, your struggles have taken form in everybody elses life too, and somebody else has felt the way you feel right at this very moment.
Youre not special. But youre also not alone on the bumpy road to adulthood.
