Becoming a Youtuber is something many Millenials turn to as a way to access fame and fortune from the comfort of their homes. They earn money through ads, promos, and views. Popular youtubers are essentially internet celebrities, with fans who would worship the ground they walk on, or in this case, the camera lens they talk in to.Youtube fans are very observant, especially when it came to 19-year-old Marina Joyce, a British Youtuber with over one million subscribers. Lately, watchers have notices suspect things going on with her videos, as well as her social media. The video that had people buzzing was her "Date Outfit Ideas" video which now has 21 million views. Throughout the video, viewers saw Joyce often looking off the camera and even a mysterious finger that can be seen in the lower left corner of the picture with what appeared to be a script.



Also in the video, Joyce has bruises on her arms, which led some people to believe that she has been experiencing domestic abuse by her boyfriend while others believe she is on some type of drug. More observant viewers have closed in on a certain moment in the video where you could hear a very faint whisper saying "Help me" while the camera was off her face. Viewers have also pointed out that in her "Questions And Answer" video, Joyce is speaking unusually fast and every time she answers a question, the full answer is cut off by the editing and almost every time she answers, she looks off the camera again.


Lastly, in her "Every Day Makeup Tutorial" video (with again, worse editing than viewers are used to from her), you can see a large rifle in the background leaning on her dresser.


On Joyce's Instagram, she's allegedly posted older pictures of herself and "hasn't exactly been herself" according to her fans on Twitter. Some have even claimed that her social media and possibly her YouTube channel is being run by someone who isn't her. This led to "#savemarinajoyce" trending on Twitter. After a day of people panicking over her wellbeing, Marina Joyce finally sent her first tweet addressing the situation:


Later that week, Joyce wanted to throw a party at 6:30AM next Wednesday. Viewers apparently misunderstood her and thought she meant that upcoming Wednesday, but it was warned that the meetup could be a setup. Some have even rumored for it to be another ISIS terrorist plot. On Wednesday and Thursday, she did a live stream chat to address some of the concerns people had about her. She says that the finger was her mother's and that it was her mother whispering behind the camera. She also postponed the party until next Saturday "regarding recent events".

People were left feeling a variety of emotions. Some felt relieved that she was not in danger, others felt angry because they then believed that this was all a publicity stunt for Marina Joyce to get more views and subscribers. Some even felt that people were just paranoid about the whole situation and there was nothing to worry about from the start.

But was she faking the whole time? Or is there some truth to madness? Joyce has stated that she was happy by the fact that the situation gave her YouTube channel more exposure but she has also said that she has been experiencing personal issues lately. Some are believing the possibility that she could have schizophrenia.

If you missed that long story, it was probably for the best that you did to not risk your sanity.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
