That One Time My Blog Got Deleted


Happy Monday everyone! My sincerest apologies for my lack of posts lately. I do have a legitimate excuse, but it’s kind of a long story.

My high school assigned each student an email address set up through gmail. Blogger is set up through gmail, and so is YouTube, so when I started a YouTube channel, and then started this blog, my high school gmail account automatically hooked up with these two sites. When this syncing happened, I thought nothing of it, and carried on my merry way.

Unfortunately, one morning a few weeks ago, a day after posting my Ai Weiwei blog, I tried to log onto YouTube, only to find that my gmail account no longer existed. I soon realized that meant ALL of my blog posts on here were gone forever as well because, being the smart girl that I am, decided to not back up my posts anywhere and type them directly onto this site. Bad idea.

All of my blog posts, as well as my YouTube videos and subscriptions, were gone. After panicking and being angry for about two days, I emailed the tech people from my high school, explaining the situation. They were super helpful and reactivated my old account so I could recover my blog and link it with a new gmail account. Unfortunately, my YouTube channel cannot be easily transferred because of the way YouTube functions now, so I have to start over with that, meaning, if you were subscribed to me before, you will have to resubscribe in order to see my lovely face!

My reaction to seeing my blog was GONE!


Thankfully, the blog transferred over without a hitch, and now I will get back on track with my writing! Sorry for the lull, but I will post regularly again so don’t fret! Most importantly, though, learn from my mistakes and back your shiz up!

Have a righteous week and thanks for reading :)
