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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
