Those Vine Compliations Aren't All Fun And Games

Have you ever wondered how much work went into those?

Since the death of Vine, there have been copious compilation videos. At first, they were just compilations of funny Vines that were made available so their comedy didn't disappear with the app. It was done as a necessity in a way.

But then the compilations turned into their own memes. Now there are Vine compilations these ridiculous titles, and they're all incredibly specific.

We have Vines for 3 A.M., Vines for breakfast, Vines for when you disassociate; the titles are incredible. They serve an immediate hook because, honestly, I want to know what Vines I relate to during breakfast.

The best part about it is that nine times out of ten, I agree with the compilation. Every single Vine in there is what I feel like when I disassociate or butter my croissant. Like the specificity is incredible. It attracts viewers and it pays off.

Then you have these gossip accounts on YouTube, where they'll focus on the drama in the beauty guru community, for example. Every one of their videos is either explaining a long, complicated string of drama or making short edits of creators gossiping about other creators.

They're funny and informative, and the editing is usually intense and complicated. These creators, although they aren't quite YouTube celebrities, they are serving a purpose that viewers are eating up. Some of them do more work than these YouTube celebrities.

It doesn't stop here, though. Your parody videos.

Shane Dawson's "The Mind of Jake Paul" series generated a lot of discourse, and one of those forms of discourse was the parody videos. Some accounts make parodies taken directly from the series, while some take it a step further. Parody account JNJ Memes is currently working "The Mind of Kermit". JNJ Memes is taking a parody of one thing and altering to further parody something else.

It's such an overlay of references that I think people that consume this content forget how much work goes into it, especially when these accounts play with editing. They'll change or alter the audio, volume, and design.

So, whether you watch overly specific Vine compilations, gossip videos, or parody edits, as consumers we forget the amount of work that goes into these. While you smile and laugh at these videos and appreciate the mindless and easy content, don't forget to appreciate the work these creators poured into those videos.

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.
