Reasons Youtube Ruined My Life

A few years ago I started really getting into youtube. I began with one youtuber and it kept leading to the next and the next. I am subscribed to over 100 youtubers. I even watch each one of them who upload every night. It's getting very unhealthy and slowly ruining my life. Here are the reasons why:

1. What's daylight? I'd rather watch someone else's life than live my own.

I spend way too much time staring at a computer screen that I start to forget what it's like to actually move and leave the house. Friends? Aren't youtubers my friends?

2. Forget Netflix!

I love a good netflix show or movie here or there, but youtube has it all. From vlogs to challenges, you're never bored. Someone is always uploading new content everyday that I sometimes forget Netflix even exists.

3. I become too attached to youtubers.

Watching youtubers for so long becomes so hard when they move on to bigger and better things. I remember how I attached I was with Tyler Oakley and Troye Sivan, but they're slowly leaving youtube. Troye Sivan has his music and Tyler Oakley works with Ellen. As happy as I am for them, I'm not ready to let go just yet, even if they are just people who sit and talk in front of a camera. #Troyler

4. I now enjoy watching people eat digusting food.

I forget not everything is a challenge or a tag. It's all just funny to me.

5. You mean not everyone is going to look like Joe Sugg?

Youtubers have set high expectations for looks. Female and male. I just have to accept that no one looks like Joe Sugg...

6. I judge all friendships/relationships based off of Dan and Phil.

So you're "best friends" but no one thinks you're dating? Are you even friends then?

7. No one ever knowing who this 'youtuber' is that I'm talking about.

via">http://giphy.com/gifs/jc-caylen-Ckr63jK9U1LNe">via GIPHY

I have very few friends that watch youtube. I mention anything about Kian Lawley or JC Caylen and they have no idea who or what I am talking about. It's beginning to be a real struggle trying to relate to people.

8. I can't function without wifi.

What will I watch? How can I fall asleep? HOW DO I HUMAN?!

9. Sleepovers or late night hangouts are a real inconvenience.

The amount of videos I am missing simply because I have friends over who wouldn't understand if I started watching videos in front of them. They don't know their lives like I do.

10. There's no going back now.

via">http://giphy.com/gifs/ricky-dillon-fGMPfT5bpzxni">... GIPHY

I'm way too invested at this point that I can't just stop now. I have to watch everyone's Vlogmas, Gameplays, New Challenges, etc.

Though I am too invested into other people's lives than mine, it is actually quite inspiring. Youtubers have taught me a lot. I get all the best advice from youtube. from fashion to mental health, you name it. Without youtube, my life would pretty boring.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
