7 Reasons Why Buzzfeed Unsolved Is The Best Way To Procrastinate

If you haven't heard of Buzzfeed Unsolved, I'm so sorry. Please get on youtube right now. It's free!

It's for those who are into murder, mystery and don't worry if horror freaks you out, it is paired with some hilarious millennial humor to get you through it without being scared (even if you aren't the type to get scared of creepy stuff, the humor makes it more interesting and fun). The series has a distinctive style that amounts a significant pool of audiences among college students.

The series has two angles to it: True Crime and Supernatural. True Crime discusses unsolved crime stories and serial killers, which we are all obsessed with, don't lie. Supernatural (unlike the television show which is equally awesome and not scary) about visits to various haunted or supernatural locations. The series is a mix of serious research and some witty banter.

1. Ryan Bergara.

One of the co-hosts of the series, Ryan Bergara is hilarious, brave, intelligent, and most of all, relatable. He is the personification of every college student not wanting to do things but doing them anyway which in his case is going into haunted locations willingly. He is the believer part of the duo that leads Buzzfeed Unsolved with his impressive research and is a delight.

Yes, if it's not obvious already, I am a Boogara.

2. Shane Madej.

The other co-host Shane Madej is equally delightful to observe and even more relatable. Being the skeptic of the duo, he is the one that keeps me (and Ryan) less terrified when they attempt to encounter spooky shit by never losing his calm. Not to mention, his sarcastic comments are the lifeline of the show.

I would be a Shaniac but I, like Ryan, am cursed to know the truth that exists out there.

3. The Hot Daga.

Giphy

A hot dog saga commissioned by Ryan Bergara, written by Shane Madej, and adored by every single viewer.

Gosh, it is amazing. I can't even begin to explain what it is. That's art right there (and I'm not even being sarcastic).

4. The plot.

Giphy

What sets BuzzFeed Unsolved apart is their 15-to-20-minute format, which is specifically modeled to approach younger people with a busy schedule and no time to watch an hour-long show with commercials. In 20 minutes, you know everything about the case of a haunted place or a serial killer and you have heard the theories and the banter that comes with it.

5. It's just creepy stuff with laughs.

Giphy

As I mentioned before, this show? Is all about your threshold for the thriller genre. The show interrupts itself with hilarious banter between Shane and Ryan, often typed and with laughter, making it entertaining to witness.

Unlike a lot of other shows that go along the same angle of crime and supernatural, Ryan and Shane make you laugh even when people are cutting off other people's heads. I mean, we aren't laughing at the gruesome acts, just the finer details of the story that makes you question the plausibility and practicality of it.

6. Did I mention the witty banter?

Giphy

The most relatable part of the show is the onscreen dynamic that reminds me of my close friendships. Shane and Ryan tease and provoke each other in every episode and it is just so much fun to watch with the bonus of getting educated about some cool theories of crimes and murders that have occurred.

7. For the unsolved part to become solved already.

Giphy

There's something about mysteries that captures our attention as human beings. We crave to know why things happened the way they did or how did they occur. Perhaps it's our curiosity in the unknown or our need to know everything or just a wild mixture of both.

The anticipation that you develop as you watch the series to make them figure something out with concrete evidence is like trying not to scratch an itch.

You want them to solve a mystery already, but deep down, you know that if that occurs, the series will never be the same.

I don't know why all of us are attracted to death, gore, and depressing situations. It probably says a lot about us as a generation.

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.
