5 Nostalgic YouTube Videos To Watch When You Need A Laugh

I'm going to be sharing some of my most favorite videos to exist on the internet, and try to limit them to 5, which is really hard.

But this way you know you're getting the best of the best. I think most people would agree with me when I say the golden age of YouTube was during its earlier years. Here are the YouTube videos that stand the test of time, and make me laugh to this day.

‘THE FEAR AWAKENED / STORY’ – OlanRogers

Olan Rogers is an absolute comedic genius and if you know of him, you know that he's an amazing storyteller. This is one of my favorites: it's a simple story from his childhood, but told in a way to make you pee your pants. I recommend binge-watching all of his stories! (Ghost in the Stalls, Echoes through the Wall…)

Tenacious D – ‘Tribute’ (Music Video)

Jack Black used to have a band with Kyle Gass called 'Tenacious D'. I don't know much else about the band except this song and video. (If you've already seen it you KNOW it's worth another watch.) It was made in 2010 and to this day I know every word. It's hard to explain, but basically Jack Black fights off a demon through song. It's very weird and catchy. Check it out and reminisce in the nostalgia with me!

‘Whips’ - BalloonShop

BalloonShop is a channel you absolutely need to get on board with. I swear each video you watch of theirs gets funnier and funnier. They made skit videos from around 2007-2010 and Olan Rogers (from video #1) is part of the crew. It was extremely difficult for me to choose one to recommend, but I think 'Whips' is the right video to get you hooked. Watch it and then PLEASE watch, like… all of their videos. Some of my favorites are: 'Egg Nog', 'Jellybeans', 'I'm Enjoying A Treat, Derrick!', 'Brahan's Books', 'Hot Pepper'…. and literally all of them, so go watch

'Double Rainbow’ – Yosemitebear62

This video just makes me extremely happy. The excitement that this man has for a double rainbow is contagious. His tears remind me to appreciate the little things and the beautiful world around us! Plus, it's hilarious.

‘Numa Numa’ – Dork Daily

Y'all KNOW I had to include this. The most iconic video on the internet to this day, since it was uploaded in 2006. That's all I have to say.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
