Nicole Rafiee has been around the block on YouTube. The 25 year-old creator made her first channel in middle school, and after deleting her channel a few times (she wasn’t thrilled when her high school’s football team found it), she started seriously posting to YouTube her sophomore year of college.

She’s garnered an audience of 1.07 million subscribers on YouTube, thanks in part to her “Chronically Online Girl explains” series, which covers everything from Ariana Grande to the Frenemies lore.
