10 YouTube Channels That Will Make You Smarter

In This Article:

I don't know about you, but I spend WAY too much time browsing on YouTube. Here's a list of some smart YouTube channels you should be obsessing over instead of BuzzFeed. Happy binging!

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!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
