Who Is Sydney McGee?

I'm NOT so lit right now

Who Is Sydney McGee?

I was texting some friends and all of a sudden I got a notification from Twitter.

My friend had tagged me in a video. It just so happened to be Sydney McGee's new hit single "Lit Right Now."

I couldn't even watch the entire way through the music video because of how cringy it was within the first 30 seconds. And if you enjoy this type of content then great you keep doing you, but I have a few problems with it. Exploiting Taco Bell, dabbing, white girls rapping and bragging about their lives while plugging their merch, and using the term lit in every other sentence really doesn't make for an enjoyable experience for me. I can't believe that Taco Bell and her school allowed her to film at their locations.

If you haven't seen the video click down below and give it a watch because you are one out of the 2 million people that have already watched it.

With a little research, I have figured out that Sydney McGee is another one of those cookie cutter YouTubers who vlogs and thinks that she can sing as well. She vlogs all of her crazy experiences such as finding the perfect dress, her spring break, or exploring LA. She sometimes shakes it up by adding complex content like couples yoga or what her hair care routine is. (If you can't hear the sarcasm in my writing please know that I am saying all of this in a sarcastic tone.)

I was very disappointed when I saw this music video and almost repulsed. Is this what is supposed to symbolize our future generations?

Self-absorbed kids, who think that they are better than everyone else and talented because they put a camera in front of their face? At one point she begins bragging about "how cool" she is in this particular music video and how everyone else' lives are "so boring."

I am extremely upset at what our country's future seems to be acting and looking like, but I have faith in humanity.

Maybe if we begin to set an example for the younger generations they will change for the better.

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.
