ICYMI: The Chilling Marina Joyce Story
NME


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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
