The video shows Marshall starting the morning, getting ready for school doing makeup and hair. Her boyfriend, Spencer Touro, then dropped her off at Bondurant Hall, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she is currently pursuing a master's degree.

"Hey guys, I spent my birthday with me. So I spent the morning getting ready for class doing a little makeup, trying to be a little cute on my birthday even though I was just going to be sitting in class for hours.

"It's more of me and then I didn't feel like washing my hair, so this is me putting the tangler in. ... And then I packed up my lunch because I'm there from like 9:00 to 4:00 whole day for class. I'm ready for class," Marshall said on her vlog.
