Spending time with friends and loved ones is such an integral and important part of life and growing up. Having a solid group of pals is often the best or only distraction from an otherwise hectic or stressful existence. Unfortunately, as we grow older, we sometimes find that our chaoses don’t always align. Yet, the need to chat and chill with someone doesn’t just go away.
The beautiful thing about the internet is that you can always find something that meets your needs -- even pseudo-companionship in place of a night out on the town. If that type of quick entertainment is what you seek, get into these YouTubers:
1. Chris Tompson, SupDaily06
Chris is that sweet and sensitive guy friend you have a not-so-secret crush on, but you’d never actually go for it for fear of ruining that nearly once-in-a-lifetime shot of having a genuine, platonic relationship.
His Tinder Terror series is especially hilarious with it’s recipe of one-parts relatable and two-parts glad-that-hasn’t-happened-to-me (yet).
2. Jessica Vazquez, JessiSmiles
Jessi is virtually everything you wish you were and everything you wish you weren’t rolled up into one dynamic personality -- awkward, funny, unlucky, beautiful, on-the-verge-of-developing-a lazy-eye, successful…
Her candid way of storytelling is nothing short of charming and her willingness to speak out on more serious topics (like surviving sexual assault) makes her the most rounded BFF you could ever dream of.
3. Paris, HeyParis
The first and most important thing that you need to know about this lovely lady is that her username was originally “IlikeVodka” (and still is on Instagram and Snapchat). Enough said, right?
She’s only 22 and yet she’s experienced a lifetime’s worth of crazy exes and best friends. Messy, petty, entertaining, Paris is your token wild child with just a dash of class to even out her sass.
4. Megan, MegCat
Ah, Meg. She takes things a little too seriously, and her reactions may sometimes seem over the top, but for some reason you just come back for more. You don’t want to love her, but she reminds you so much of yourself you have to give her a pass.
In all actuality she might be the sacrificial lamb of whinedom -- she whines so that we might not have to.
5. Tana Mongeau, Tana Mongeau
Tana is a bit of an oxymoron -- profane, but really calm and collected, traditionally feminine in her aesthetic but kind of boyish in her attitude and mannerisms.
Tana’s just a down-to-earth girl making her way through the world like the rest of us -- just trying to find a good eyebrow pencil and coupons for free Uber rides.
6. Grace Ajilore, Grace Ajilore
Where would any of us be without that judge-y friend who isn’t afraid to critique all of our bad behaviors? Grace may not be afraid to step on a few feelings when she tells it like it is, but she hands out good advice like free samples at Bath and Body Works, so count this friendship as a win. (Bonus: She does great accents!)
