10 YouTube Channels That Will Make You Smarter

Everypixel

1. Nerdwriter

YouTube

Nerdwriter is one of YouTube's best finds ever. His content is sharp, thoughtful, and most importantly, visually appealing.

2. Wisecrack

YouTube

Wisecrack is heaven for all kinds of nerds out there. From Star Wars to Rick & Morty, there is something INTELLIGENT for everyone on this channel.

3. TED-Ed

YouTube

TED-Ed covers a wide variety of content with its amazing animation. The voice-overs are bold, intelligent and well put together. Since, it is not run by a single person, there are SO many videos on the channel. Special recommendation for those who enjoy philosophy and science brainteasers.

4. The School of Life

The School Of Life

The School Of Life has some wacky content. (Definitely not everyone's cup of tea.) Their political theory videos are particularly wholesome and informative.

5. Vox

Vox

Vox is so intellectually stimulating. Personal favourite are the Vox Borders videos. Honestly, I feel they are so under-appreciated for all the quality content they put out there.

6. Lemmino

YouTube

Lemmino is once again an acquired taste, I'm afraid. He covers all kinds of things, from murder mysteries to UFO cases. Watch out for those stunning thumbnails!

7. CrashCourse

CrashCourse

I don't know about y'all but I love the Green brothers and ANYTHING they do. More often than not, I find my course material for classes on this channel! Although, the content was more relevant for high school classes, it's never too late to learn a thing or two about French Neoclassicism.

8. VICE News

YouTube

If you're yearning for some modern sources for current affairs, then VICE news is your answer. It's credible, sharp, and most importantly, relevant.

9. ScreenPrism

YouTube

I would recommend this channel for all the cinema enthusiasts. ScreenPrism analyses movies in a refreshing and visually stunning manner. Their content on Game of Thrones and Rick & Morty is an absolute delight.

10. NowThis World

YouTube

Another brilliant provider of no-bullshit international news. They talk about radical ideologies, influential leaders, powerful countries and so on. They also explore historical conflicts as a bonus!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
