SPOILER ALERT!! If you have not watched Liza Koshy and David Dobrik's #1 trending YouTube video on David's channel, you can check it out by clicking HERE.

If you don't know who this iconic Youtube power couple is or was let me get you to speed. Liza Koshy A.K.A. Little Brown Girl has been on the YouTube scene for around two years. You may remember her from that one retired app, Vines. On YouTube, she has her fans laughing throughout her whole video full of puns.

One of the very first videos I remember watching them as a couple was when Liza ran into the store to buy David some flowers for their date. While in the store, she ran into none other than David himself who was also buying flowers for their date! All of their fans' hearts (including my own) melted as the story began.

They were together two years!

I know things are different behind closed doors, and people act a lot while on camera to avoid getting too personal. But with those two, you could just look at their pictures and tell that they were deeply in love.

So imagine the shock felt not only me but also by all of their other fans when David posted his video titled "We Broke Up."

I laughed it off when I first saw it. Yes, there have been rumors, but they also have a lot of clickbait titles.

As soon as I clicked on the video, I was in tears. It started off with them making jokes about being single and breaking up. But at minute 1:12 of the video, they pause, and David adds text to say that they had to take a break and then another that says "2 hours later."

With Liza back on the screen, you can clearly see she has been crying. That is when I cried--these two created this illusion that true love does exist. They made it seem like no matter how rich or famous you become, if you are meant to be with that person, it will be like that.

After watching their video, I realized that is just not how it works.

At the beginning of the video, David says, "It wasn't healthy for us to continue to be together...for now."

Questions, lots of questions. Why not? What wasn't healthy? Was he hurting her? Who ended it? Is it over forever?

To answer the question as to why they broke up, David says, "Liza broke up with me because she felt like we've been too busy," which I at first thought was kind of crappy of her. But Liza came back with that it was like they were living "two separate lives," and being in a long-term relationship while living separate lives is tough, so it made a lot more sense.

Even in tears and being young, she said some very wise words: "We're so young. We're so young."

The same thing our parents tell us when we dive headfirst into a relationship. But it made sense; they are young, and they still have so much room to grow and develop. By trying to force a relationship that just wasn't there, they would only add to the stress.

Liza had always hinted that things were rough sometimes, but with all her jokes and laughs, it was hard to see what really lay beneath the surface.

In the video, Liza said, "I really want to spread love, but I have to have it first. You know?" I feel like a lot of people can relate to this statement. If you don't love yourself, it is so hard to love someone else or take in that they love you back. She compared this to saying "you're going to spread mayonnaise when you only have mustard."

In the back of my mind, I am waiting for David to blame her or even say something mean. But the whole video, all he has to say are jokes and supporting comments. One of my favorites is when he says, "I always say this to people: I know online-Liza seems like she's a really nice girl. But if you get to know her, it's the exact same thing. Like there's not a bad bone in her body."

They waited three months to tell friends and family that they had broken up and six months to reveal the truth to their fans. Their relationship was so different from any other YouTuber relationship I have ever seen before.

You could tell throughout the video that was the hardest thing that they had done together. Their tears were very real, and no matter how many times I waited for them to say, "JUST KIDDING," but they never did.

They did end on a positive note and are clearly working toward their careers and not trying to force anything. They are taking baby steps, basically, and if they do find their way back together in the future, that would be great. But what would be best is making sure that they are happy.

I have already seen a lot of negative stuff saying they didn't HAVE to post that video, that they were just doing it for attention. That's not true; their fans love them and watching them together, and if they just suddenly stopped, it would have been a lot of questions.

Besides, they have always been open since day one, so why would they not address their break up and what their fans can expect in the future?

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
