If you are anything like me, you like to feed your habit of major procrastination and avoiding life responsibilities. Trust me binge watching on YouTube is an efficient and entertaining way to do just that. Here are seven channels worth the binge.
1) Liza Koshy
This 20-year-old YouTube sensation started off on the late Vine and made it big with her hilarious and quirky topic driven sketches. If you have an appreciation for well-placed puns, Liza is the gal for you.
2) Whitney Simmons
Whitney Simmons brings you fitness and nutrition with a funny and personal touch. The college student wins hearts with her bubbly and witty personality as well as being relatable. She shares her angst and battles with overcoming mental health issues that so many college students go through during the course of the studies.
3) Kurzgesagt – In A Nutshell
Kurzgesagt – In A Nutshell is a fantastic YouTube channel which explains the wonders of science and the universe in short animated videos through an optimistic nihilist perspective.

Really it’s educational so that means it’s good for you.
4) Ted Talks
Most people already know about Ted Talks or have at least heard of it before, so this is a reminder that the Ted channel on YouTube is amazing. Everyone should be watching it! For those that haven’t heard of Ted Talks, it is a non-profit organisation whose aim is to spread ideas through short inspirational and powerful talks. They now have a channel on YouTube where you can easily watch these. So, if you’ve run out of luck or motivation, Ted Talks videos are sure to give you a new bout of inspiration.

I mean who knows, you might end up being the next Shawn Mendes or Zoella.
