My father taught me chess when I was around 7 years old. It was just the basics, but I was instantly hooked. It became my goal to one day beat him in a game, albeit the cheap chess tricks I learned from playing my friends in school weren’t enough. I soon bought a few chess books…
Happy October and almost Halloween everybody! It’s not even been 2 months in, and do I even need to ask if anyone else is feeling the stress of the new school year? I know that I myself am very much feeling it. Actually, not too long ago, I was feeling abnormally stressed out- I was having…
The Whisper Challenge, the Bean Boozled Challenge, the Cottonball Challenge, the Blindfolded Drawing Challenge, and pretty much every other challenge you can think of, YAA bloggers seem to have done them all. Well with that lengthy list, you probably thought that we covered all those popular YouTube challenges. But while Rebecca and Ailin hilariously completed many,…
All about Alphabet Google. It’s been a window to the world for what seems like ages, to this generation at the very least. We know it as a single search engine, but did you know that Google (was) actually a large company which owned Youtube, Android, Nest Labs, Calico, Google, Inc, among other Google franchises?…
Witty poet, Harry Baker, makes his TED Talk debut in Exeter, Devon, England. After winning the 2012 Poetry Slam World Cup in Paris, he has gone on to perform at slam poetry events around the U.K. and internationally. I discovered Harry during my daily routine of watching TED Talks, and was already laughing 30 seconds in. I enjoy…
For some, drawing with their eyes open can already be challenging enough. When you factor in a blindfold, the level of artistic ability drops drastically. Granted, many amazing artists are able to craft masterpieces without their sense of sight. Rebecca and I do not happen to be that type of person. Our drawings are disjointed…

On Thursday, May 28th, 2015, YouTube celebrated it’s 10th birthday. If you’re around my age (18), then you probably grew up with YouTube and followed the old-timers such as Smosh, Nigahiga, Shane Dawson, Rhett and Link, Michelle Phan, and Jenna Marbles. Nowadays, newer YouTubers such as Pewdiepie, Markiplier, Tyler Oakley, and numerous others have come…
Fellow editor Rebecca and I have decided to team up and tackle a mainstream internet challenge every week for however many weeks we can sustain! We decided to kick things off with the Bean Boozled Challenge, a challenge that puts your sense of taste through torture. If you are wondering where we procured these magically…
I am not talking about the movie, the story, or the concept that Marvel has succeeded in winning over millions of fans with (including myself). The mistakes I am referring to are the disappointing arrays of awkward interviews and verbal hiccups that was showcased by the cast of the highly anticipated The Avengers: Age of Ultron. With some…
YouTube is one of my favourite websites to date. You can find so many cool things there. You can learn how to Tibetan throat sing, fake an Irish accent or how to do your hair as if you were in the 1920s. You can also find a lot of cool people! They could be beauty…
With only 2 weeks left until Christmas, I’d thought I’d share this fun twist on your favorite Christmas carols by my favorite YouTuber, Paint. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
{Original Image} I have a confession to make… It isn’t easy for me to say this, but I’ll just come out with it. I am obsessed with watching Good Mythical Morning. Every morning, I wake up and immediately load YouTube on my iPad to watch videos while I’m getting ready. Rhett and Link have distinct…
In the midst of numerous exams, extracurriculars, and the additional everyday stress of life, I must say that it has all been taking a bit of a toll on me. Yet, through it all, I have learned that it is necessary to take a bit of a breather and to laugh because sometimes, all you…
