That Unhealthy Obsession We All Have With David Dobrik Videos Is Realer Than Ever

Shamelessly, I can't help myself.

That Unhealthy Obsession We All Have With David Dobrik Videos Is Realer Than Ever

I didn't think I'd ever come to this day where I'd admit something like this, but it's gotten pretty bad at this point. If you're a fan of comedy (or even not sometimes) and have at least four minutes and 20 seconds to spare three days a week, these are the videos for you.

Of recent days, I've realized that I have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with none other than David Dobrik. I swear it's small, minuscule, barely an obsession, obsession.

Right. Now I feel like I need to explain myself a bit!

I wouldn't say I'm obsessed to the point where I have his tweet notifications turned on or I'm buying all of his merch, but I literally just can't stop watching his videos, it's a problem.

Anybody that's a fan of David Dobrik is a fan of what they call themselves the entire "vlog squad." The vlog squad is combined of probably the most entertaining and fun group of friends you could ever imagine. After David, the rest of the group is primarily made up of Scotty Sire, Toddy Smith, Alex Ernst, Liza Koshy, Zane Hijazi, Corinna Kopf, Heath Hussar, Josh Peck, Jason Nash, Matt King, Kristen McAtee, Erin Gilfoy and Carly Incontro (deep apologies to anyone forgotten!). Most of them have their own YouTube channel as well, all worth checking out as well. Surprisingly (or maybe not) All of them came from Vine when it was still a thing (RIP).

Now, anybody watching his videos has to understand their crude, dry, idiotic sense of humor. But still, it's too addicting to pass up. Fortunately, you have to be able to handle sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes unsettling language amongst the most semi-normal (ish) people you know. I truthfully don't know how one person is able to think of so many pranks, so many jokes, so many bits in one day or even one week to still be funny without coming off as repetitive. Honestly though, as much as I'd think I'd want to be friends with all them, I don't think I could handle a lot of the cruel jokes they pull. If you know, you know!

As shameful as I feel to admit I'm a fan of his vlogs (am I really?), it's almost funny when I'm out in public and I see someone else wearing his merch cause in my head I always think, "Yeah, I watch his videos too." They're straight up just entertainment.

For anyone that thinks you can't make a living off YouTube, yeah I still don't know how. You can watch all these people and all the videos and just think HOW do they make money? But they do and I don't mind one bit as long as I continue to get these vlogs.

So shameless or not, I'm a fan and as long as he continues uploading vlogs, the more I'll continue to keep watching them.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

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.
