Let's Get It: The Brilliance of Berleezy

One of the loudest voices on YouTube, Berleezy has become one of the funniest guys on the site thanks to his cartoon roasting series named "EXPOSED"

One of the best parts of being a kid was coming back home after a long day of school and sitting on the couch to watch cartoons. School's pretty boring and kids hate having to go there every day, which makes the reward of seeing shows like "Pokemon" all the more special.

Cartoons themselves have a strange oddity to them. We all love them, but there's always at least one thing that's a little bit weird that needs to be called out. Why is Dexter able to have a gigantic laboratory in the basement of his house with his parents having no idea of its existence? How exactly did Clifford grow from being a tiny little pup to twice the size of his house? Why does Swiper keep trying to swipe Dora and Boots' stuff?

Well, one man has made a splash on YouTube through exposing the weird things about childhood cartoons. The CSFU student Berlin Edmond, better known as Berleezy.

He started doing videos back in 2013, but it wasn't late 2015 where his video "HEY ARNOLD: EXPOSED" exploded on sites like Twitter. Since then, Berleezy has created video after video of his "EXPOSED" series, which typically involves him roasting and taking jabs at the theme songs to cartoon after cartoon, from "Proud Family" to "Dora" to most recently "Courage the Cowardly Dog," often screaming and shouting along the way.

What makes his videos great are all the little observations he notices throughout the intros, some of which flew over most of his viewers when they were little. One of the best examples can be found in his "EXPOSED" video on "Phineas and Ferb." The characters on the show all had their own weird designs and looks, which made them easily roastable material. Berleezy calling Phineas a "high-ass Dorito," talking about Ferb's "beanstalk head" and Candace's head "look like an apostrophe" is already funny enough, but add in a theory of all the characters being on a drug trip and noting how a black character is not only sitting on the back of the rollercoaster, but later gets replaced and you've got comedy gold.

It, of course, makes it even better with his delivery. Berleezy has a clear passion for anything and everything he's roasting. It's rare to see a video of him not screaming at the top of his lungs about the crazy stuff that happens in nearly every cartoon intro, but he's able to fluctuate and deliver said screaming in a way that doesn't irritate the audience's eardrums. And honestly, a lot of the reasons of why he's screaming actually kinda make sense if you grew up watching it. Again, how was Dexter able to hide his giant laboratory so well that only two other people on the show knew he had one? How is Arthur able to have his glasses stay on his face even though his ears are on the top of his head? Why did the characters on "Ed, Edd, n Eddy" have weirdly-colored tongues? Those moments are often put into the back of the mind, but here comes Berleezy to bring up the things that kept us awake at night when we were young.

Because he's a college student, he puts his videos on the backburner to his life, and there's often a hiatus between each episode of the series. However, his crazy delivery and pure passion makes his videos well worth the wait and shows he is a real talent when it comes to roasting and comedy in general.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
