9 YouTube Videos That Defined Your Childhood

Moment of Silence for the time we wasted on this site

9 YouTube Videos That Defined Your Childhood

YouTube.com is more of a medium for music videos and uploading school projects these days, however, about a decade ago, the site attracted a plethora of middle school students for hours on end. Every. Day.

Not to say that this isn't the case for some people. But let's face it, people were idolized through YouTube. People watched a web series made from someone's computer at home more regularly than a television series. Hell, good old Justin Bieber was discovered on it!

It seems as though this trend has gotten away from us with Vine, Netflix, and Instagram taking away our attention. But I'd like to remind everyone of the popular videos that seriously embodied our youth. Here's to the countless hours I spent learning every word to every one of these videos:

1. Smosh

It's hard to pick just one video to accurately summarize Smosh (but Pokemon is dope so I chose this one). It's essentially two boys that have super stupid humor that you hate to laugh at but you do because it's actually really well done.

2. Rejected Cartoons

"My spoon is too big."

Why did we find this so damn funny.

3. Shoes

This actually will never get old. My friends and I literally still quote it to this day, stupid boyyyyyy.

4. How to be Gangster

The quality of editing software of this video is so incredibly low, however still so incredibly iconic to when everyone referred to themselves as "gangster."

5. Anything from Jenna Marbles

Pretty sure she's like a radio host now...

6. Potter Puppet Pals

You're simply LYING if you say you didn't recreate this with your friends like every day in 3rd grade. Or 8th. Or like last week.

7. Supermac18

I like religiously watched this kid for like four years and I don't understand how I kept up for so damn long???

8. Charlie the Unicorn

"Chaaaarrrrrlieeeeeeeee."

Quite annoying to re-watch, let me tell ya.

9. Marcel the Shell

Don't lie. You tried SO hard to master this voice.

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.
