The Wonders of YouTube

YouTube is one of those horribly amazing websites. You start out completely innocent looking up a video on how to French braid hair, and before you know it, you're watching videos entitled "Dog gets tongue stuck to pole" and "Ten ten best bone breaks EVER"... Two hours later.

I personally love YouTube. What's not to love? It gives average people the possibilities to share their talents, knowledge, and experiences with the world. The things that matter to them could become the next internet sensation.

Three videos stand out to me right now that I found on YouTube. By looking at them, it's easy to see why I like them:

1. KIDS- Kids can be so cute. Or so evil... Or both. As the aunt to a very rambunctious 4 year old boy, I've learned how true that really is. In this video, I absolutely love how the little boy calls his mother by her first name. This is something that my nephew likes to do to his mother, just because he knows it gets her blood boiling. I, however, just have to laugh.

2. DISNEY- Who doesn't love Disney?! If you're one of those crazy people, you can stop reading right about now. I LOVE Disney! The songs, the imagery, the life lessons, and of course, the love stories. As cheesy as they are, they are beloved.

The newest Disney phenomenon is "Frozen". It's exciting, heartwarming, and fun. However, sometimes I get caught up in the awe of the story and forget how truly unrealistic it is. A few people on YouTube decided to use their creativity to remind us all of that.

3. SPORTS- What's that big thing happening right now with a lot of really tall guys and a orange bouncy-thing? THE NCAA TOURNAMENT!!! Even if you're not a basketball fan, you have to admit the excitement of March Madness is kind of awesome.

My team made it this year! As a 3 seed led by Ethan Wragge and Doug "McBuckets", I had a lot of hope that the Creighton BlueJays could go to the Final Four. That hope was shattered when they played Baylor. Yes, it was a tough game to watch. (And that's all I'm going to say about it.)

But, the video that popped up on YouTube was the very inspirational post-game locker room speech by head couch, Greg McDermott. Not only did the players need to hear it, but I think a lot of fans did too. (I may or may not have cried a little, but I'll never tell.)

Oh, YouTube. You suck me in to your sick game every time...
