YouTube Channels Lacking In The Attention They Deserve
www.usmagazine.com

It's 2016 and YouTube has been in existence for 11 years now. In recent years, it has become quite the contender in the entertainment industry. Millions of viewers are on YouTube every day, watching beauty gurus do makeup and share clothing hauls, gamers playing the latest video game, vloggers doing the latest challenge, and more. It has become a platform for comedians, musicians, and actors, as well as web series, podcasts, and short films. Many YouTube personalities have gone on to make films, write books, interview people such as President Obama, and break out into the music industry.

If you're on YouTube a lot, you've probably heard names such as Tyler Oakley, Dan and Phil, Smosh, Grace Helbig, Lilly Singh, Ryan Higa, Jenna Marbles, The Vlog Brothers, Pewdiepie and other YouTube personalities with millions of subscribers. They're the household names among viewers of YouTube. The beauty of YouTube is that anyone has the ability to start a channel and become one of those household names.

But, unfortunately, with the huge amount of channels on YouTube and people starting new channels every day, it's hard to become as big as Tyler Oakley or Jenna Marbles. So to help a few channels out, here are some that I think are grossly under-subscribed to.


1. TheThirdPew

Nathan makes it onto this list because of his wit and clever editing. He makes comedy videos and, occasionally, the more casual, talk-to-the-camera type video. He's a college student, an avid Twitter user, and someone who often uses his voice to speak out on issues he cares about. I've both laughed and cried while watching his videos. He definitely deserves more than 400,000 subscribers.

2. Carly Fleischmann

"Speechless" is a new web series starring Carly Fleischmann, a 21-year-old with autism. She has been unable to speak all her life, but uses a text-to-speech application to use her voice. Throughout the web series, she has made it clear that she will be an advocate for anyone with something to overcome, and she will encourage others to use their voices as well. Her first episode is an interview with Channing Tatum, during which she proves herself to be outrageously funny and certainly capable of achieving her dream of being a talk show host.

3. OnlyLeigh

Leigh is an animator and self-described fangirl. She makes funny videos based on the things she's a fan of and also based on just being a fangirl. She writes, animates, and voice acts in her own videos -- you can tell she puts a lot of work into each one. If you can relate even a little bit to being a fan of something, you'll relate to her videos.

The above video is just one of several videos of hers that have gone viral. This one got over eight million views! Yet, Leigh only has around 340,000 subscribers.

4. Practical Folks

Practical Folks is a channel made up of a group of people who do comedy sketches. But, easily, my favorite thing they do is get drunk and watch Disney movies with a special guest. The commentary ends up being hilarious and so very entertaining. They only do this once a month, but I'd say it's worth the subscription. I mean, it's funny enough to watch these movies as adults and see what our little childish minds missed, but it's even funnier to see what drunk adult minds can pick out.

5. JessiSmiles

Jessi is an ex-Viner turned YouTuber who makes mostly "Story Time" videos like the one above. Sometimes when friends tell you stories, they're either so boring or your friend is such a bad storyteller that your mind can't help but wander. Trust me, this is not a problem with Jessi's stories.

Somehow, she always has the best stories and her storytelling is always up to par. She has dating stories, stories from high school, drunk stories, airport stories, and more. Being subscribed to her is like only getting the juiciest stories from your best friend.


And there you have it! My list of YouTube channels you should subscribe to because they deserve more subscribers is complete. You can get a laugh out of any or all of them and I promise you won't regret subscribing.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
