Philip DeFranco: The Voice of Reason For The Millennial Generation
YouTube

"Sup, you beautiful bastards. Hope you are having a wonderful_________, my name is Philip DeFranco and let's just jump into it."

These are always the first few lines said by Philip DeFranco. Philip DeFranco is a YouTuber who covers the news with his Philip DeFranco Show. Mr. DeFranco covers everything from politics, world news, entertainment, YouTube news, and any weird stories coming out of Florida among many topics. His videos range from 8-15 minutes long each Monday through Thursday on YouTube.

For many people my age, myself included, a majority of them will get their news from YouTube. Whether it be from DeFranco, SourceFed (Which was started by DeFranco), The Young Turks, or Tomi Lahren. Not only is he my favorite YouTuber, but he is my favorite person who delivers the news. In fact, he seems to be the best at it on YouTube.

One of the reasons why I love Philip DeFranco is it's a way of seeing both sides of an argument. DeFranco will look at both sides of the argument on things like Donald Trump without appealing only to the left or to the right. DeFranco will take time out of his day to do more in-depth research the Turks or Miss Lahren will not do. He makes people think about other options rather than saying "no, I'm right and you're wrong." I trust him more than CNN and Fox News.

During the 2016 election, Mr. DeFranco did not say who he was voting for. Not because he would be attacked for saying he was supporting one side or the other, but because it was his own dang business. While people like Casey Neistat did say they were supporting Clinton, he still did not say who was he was voting for and it was his own business.

Another reason why I love DeFranco for my news is that if there is a mass shooting or terrorist attack, he will not say the name of the person who carried out the attacks. His motto is that he doesn't want to give the perpatrator the attention that they want, but rather people know the names of the victims. This is something that I find commendable and something that new sources should start doing. If it's a person that did the attacks and on the run, then they should say the name.

The only time DeFranco will be bias towards something is if it involves parents doing horrible things to their children, then he will step in and say what he believes. DeFranco is a father and a husband, and he makes it clear on YouTube when these things happen. Instead of seeing both sides of the coin, he says that the horrible human beings are terrible should get full punishment, because nothing should happen to a child.

Without Mr. DeFranco, I would be agreeing blindly with a lot of my friends without really thinking about what the other side thinks about anything. I have been apart of the nation since 2010, and I have seen him grow as not only a YouTuber, but as a man in general. DeFranco started up SourceFed in the early 2010s and let the creators on that channel create great content without his involvement.

I would like to thank Philip DeFranco for making me who I am today in my beliefs, and I hope nothing but the best for you, Linz, and Trey. Thank you for all that you do for YouTube and see you tomorrow.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
