Thank You, John And Hank Green

For those of us who crave information about the world around us, finding good resources can be hard. The Internet is full of fake stories, and it can be hard to tell what's reliable. However, there is one YouTube duo that provides incredibly well researched stances on current issues (as well as some very entertaining videos among the serious ones). This duo consists of two brothers, Hank and John Green. The Green brothers run various channels, but the main two I will be highlighting today are "Crash Course" and "Vlogbrothers."

These brothers have provided me with very valuable information and helped me within numerous classes throughout the years, and for that, I am thankful. I would like to take the time to write this article, highlighting some of my favorite videos from these brothers.

First, I would like to provide a video that introduces the brothers, in case some of you are new to them. This video takes the form of a Q&A but focuses on the brothers and the community they've made.

.

Next, I want to highlight some videos that help with school. The brothers, mainly Hank, do videos explaining the basics of common core school classes like biology, chemistry or philosophy. These series, and many more, have helped me to study for classes as well as clarifying topics that can get confusing.


Next, the brothers make videos explaining current issues within the world. These are great if you want to be kept up to date as well as form a good, basic understanding of complicated concepts within minutes. From the presidential policies to human sexuality, they really do cover it all!





The Green brothers also have a series called "Thoughts From Places," in which they talk about something relevant to the places they happen to be since they travel a lot. These videos provide amazing firsthand experiences and knowledge to situations many don't even know exist.




Finally, in a midst of all this information, the Green brothers make some very funny and entertaining videos. In particular, I want to highlight their joke videos because they are absolutely terrible and hilarious at the same time!



This concludes my favorite series by the Green brothers. I want to take a moment to thank the Green brothers for always making learning interesting. For lifetime learners like me, your videos provide an amazing escape and insightful viewpoints that make boring topics interesting. Thanks to you, I know so much about a variety of topics I never would have if I hadn't stumbled across you two. Thank you, John and Hank Green, for fueling my love of learning and keeping every topic interesting and fun. DFTBA.

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.
