College is a time of stress in any person’s life, to the point where sometimes it feels like a world full of agonizing pain that you cannot escape. If you think that statement is dramatic, talk to me during exam week. You might change your tune.
A simple and quick, yet extremely relieving pastime I enjoy is watching YouTube videos. One of my favorite comedians to watch is known as Miranda Sings. Miranda is the persona of an over-the-top, wannabe singer who makes her own music videos and posts them on YouTube.
Colleen Ballinger, a 28-year-old singer, created the character. Ballinger initially made a “bad” singing video to make fun of girls who think they can sing, but actually couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket, and uploaded videos to YouTube. Ballinger’s videos as Miranda Sings became so popular that she now has over 3.3 million subscribers and she travels around the world to perform a routine in character at comedy clubs.
If you have a sense of humor, to watch Miranda is to love Miranda. She is sassy, tacky and a terrible singer; however, she thinks that she is God's gift to the world. She makes her own music videos and tutorials on how to dance at parties, how to be famous, how to flirt and even how to ride a child.
Miranda has her own fun, unique vocabulary and sayings. After a few videos you will probably catch on and soon enough you and your friends will be obsessed with this perfect study break option.
Seriously, take two minutes out of your day to watch this and you won’t be sorry. I’m not even kidding.
