Oh, How I Miss YouTube

Many of us spent countless hours of our childhood sitting around our massive desktop computer and watching funny YouTube videos with our friends. Lots of videos swam around the web gaining popularity while entertaining millions of teens. Back in the day, we really appreciated these videos. What happened to them? Those same videos are still great to this day. This article is dedicated to the long lost favorite videos of YouTube, including a link for everyone to enjoy them once again!

When starting this article, I already had a video in the back of my mind. This video first began my awful attempts at a sarcastic attitude. I probably watched this one with my friends over a hundred times, to the point of memorizing the words. Oddly enough, I not only miss the video, but I miss my own mom saying, "I will cut you!" to my siblings and me. A video with over 68 million views, I am extremely excited to introduce, once again, Bon Qui Qui!

This next video is still catchy. In fact, I caught myself singing along with it just a few minutes ago. Puppets are something that interests kindergarteners and apparently, middle schoolers. Although it is creepy and weird, the Potter Puppet Pals received over 162 million views and have been missed.

The next video is one that I never appreciated, although many others did. It is a song that became viral on YouTube. The lyrics are not in English, but it is still very catchy and most of us attempted to sing it anyway. Introducing Numa Numa, the video that I still will never understand why over 21 million people liked it.

The next video is one of my favorites, yet it may also be the all-time strangest. Many people have seen one of numerous videos made of this little fruit, yet not everyone thinks it is funny. In a way, the video makes me feel more uncomfortable than it does humor me. My family watched this clip many, many times together. The video I speak of, with over 162 million views, is...The Annoying Orange.

I cannot conclude this article without including at least one awesome prank video. We have all seen a million pranks on YouTube, but there is one that stands out to me. Not only was this prank clever, but it is hilarious. If you have not seen it, I highly recommend giving yourself a good laugh by clicking on the link below. With over 51 million views, Devil Baby.

There were so many great videos that went viral and changed our childhood. Other sites have gotten on board to the video craze, such as Reddit, Vine, Vimeo, and the list goes on and on. Oh, YouTube, you will be always hold a special place in my video-loving heart. Thank you for the memories. Now get busy entertaining me!

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.
