Keep Your Breakups Private, They Don't Belong On YouTube

Some things are not meant to be shared on Youtube and breakups are one of them.

June 5th, 2018 Liza Koshy and David Dobrik shocked millions of people with the news of their breakup which happened six months ago. Both are very popular in the YouTube community and have developed millions of subscribers over the years. No one saw a breakup coming and hiding this from their subscribers must have been very hard for them to do. However, I believe news of a breakup should not be shared on Youtube. Breakups are hard enough, but with the whole world knowing and possibly scrutinizing this decision can only make it worse. I've already seen "Liza Koshy and David Dobrik Best Moments" videos linked with the breakup video.

The both of them cannot heal properly seeing things like that. I know I wouldn't be able to be on YouTube for a long time because reminders of the person you loved popping up 24/7 are unhealthy to see. I'm proud of them both for taking the time to work on themselves and stay best friends in the process. They are both incredibly strong people for being able to hide this so long, let alone make a video about it for the whole world to see.

I see breaking up as a very private and personal matter that shouldn't involve everyone on the Internet. This is a time you lean on your family and close friends who truly know you. It isn't easy to throw two years of a relationship away, especially when neither person has done anything wrong. Liza and David were both growing apart because both were so busy. Time is not on their side. Maybe one day they will get back together when they have figured out how to rebuild a relationship within two very busy lives.

While watching their video, they both still act like their usual joking selves, but you can see right through this. The pain inside both of them is still there, and I don't foresee either moving on from the other for some time. Both need to work on learning to love themselves and being on their own again before they can even think about romantically involving themselves with another person, or even getting back together.

Making videos is what YouTuber's do, and it is fitting that the both of them decided to do this. I will never know what it's like to be this famous and have to publically announce my breakup to fans since you are basically obligated to do so. Breaking up in the public spotlight seems very unfair to me, but it is something they dealt with privately for months, so it may be slightly easier to cope with since they did have some hidden, much needed private time to themselves.

I wish them both the best, although I still do not agree with the idea of posting a breakup video on YouTube, I know it was what they needed to do. Any privacy they may have had is absolutely gone, and this is what makes me feel the worst for them.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
