Reasons Youtube Ruined My Life

A few years ago I started really getting into youtube. I began with one youtuber and it kept leading to the next and the next. I am subscribed to over 100 youtubers. I even watch each one of them who upload every night. It's getting very unhealthy and slowly ruining my life. Here are the reasons why:

1. What's daylight? I'd rather watch someone else's life than live my own.

I spend way too much time staring at a computer screen that I start to forget what it's like to actually move and leave the house. Friends? Aren't youtubers my friends?

2. Forget Netflix!

I love a good netflix show or movie here or there, but youtube has it all. From vlogs to challenges, you're never bored. Someone is always uploading new content everyday that I sometimes forget Netflix even exists.

3. I become too attached to youtubers.

Watching youtubers for so long becomes so hard when they move on to bigger and better things. I remember how I attached I was with Tyler Oakley and Troye Sivan, but they're slowly leaving youtube. Troye Sivan has his music and Tyler Oakley works with Ellen. As happy as I am for them, I'm not ready to let go just yet, even if they are just people who sit and talk in front of a camera. #Troyler

4. I now enjoy watching people eat digusting food.

I forget not everything is a challenge or a tag. It's all just funny to me.

5. You mean not everyone is going to look like Joe Sugg?

Youtubers have set high expectations for looks. Female and male. I just have to accept that no one looks like Joe Sugg...

6. I judge all friendships/relationships based off of Dan and Phil.

So you're "best friends" but no one thinks you're dating? Are you even friends then?

7. No one ever knowing who this 'youtuber' is that I'm talking about.

via">http://giphy.com/gifs/jc-caylen-Ckr63jK9U1LNe">via GIPHY

I have very few friends that watch youtube. I mention anything about Kian Lawley or JC Caylen and they have no idea who or what I am talking about. It's beginning to be a real struggle trying to relate to people.

8. I can't function without wifi.

What will I watch? How can I fall asleep? HOW DO I HUMAN?!

9. Sleepovers or late night hangouts are a real inconvenience.

The amount of videos I am missing simply because I have friends over who wouldn't understand if I started watching videos in front of them. They don't know their lives like I do.

10. There's no going back now.

I'm way too invested at this point that I can't just stop now. I have to watch everyone's Vlogmas, Gameplays, New Challenges, etc.

Though I am too invested into other people's lives than mine, it is actually quite inspiring. Youtubers have taught me a lot. I get all the best advice from youtube. from fashion to mental health, you name it. Without youtube, my life would pretty boring.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
