#5MFU With Youtuber Ingrid Nilsen

Oh, how these videos have helped me. These #5MFU videos, by the influential YouTuber Ingrid Nilsen, are short and sweet and the perfect pick me up. You can watch it in bed, before class, when you wake up, when you shower (I'm not here to judge) whenever you get the chance. These quick videos stimulate thoughts that range from sex, drunk stories, to emotions and jealousy. If you need something fast and funny, you got it; if you want to think a little deeper, Ingrid's also got you covered. My favorites happen to be some of the deep thinking ones. Here they are in all their glory.

#5MFU (in no ranking order)

1. Jealousy:

A common problem that most people deal with (sigh). Ingrid takes a humorous approach to the topic, but also makes you think about habits that you exhibit in your life: are you a healthy or unhealthy jealous, is it only in romantic relationships you feel this way or friendships? These questions made me think deeply about my jealous inner minion that lives inside of me and check myself.


2. Passive Aggressiveness:

Boy does this resonate. I really can't say that I am not passive aggressive, no matter how much I wish I wasn't. Ingrid is one of the lucky ones who doesn't feel passive aggressive but instead explain the frustration of being the responder to passive aggressive people. Nah, she isn't perfect all the time, so she gives great tips about how to move past this passive aggressive way of communication, and explains in a clear way why this is not the best way to express yourself.


3. Enemies:

Gosh I wish I had this in Middle School. Enemies or just peope you don't like come up in college, work and even mommy and me classes. Here are some great tips on how to not let them ruin your day, cause seriously why should they?


4. FOMO:

Fear of missing out, a classic college problem. Do I go out even though I am sick or have mono, strep, norovirus. I have a huge paper, but three frats are open. Ugh the misery of FOMO. Its a hard disease to get over. But Ingrid's got you covered.


5. Success:

We all define it differently. In college with abroad, boyfriends, sororities, extracurricular actvies, a good GPA, internships it is hard to understand what you really want versious what the people around you expect or make you think you want. Try to re-evaluate what success means to you, it could be suprising.



If none of these tickled your fancy, don't worry she has a ton more!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
