So it’s Monday morning. You’re already late. There are a million things you should be doing right now. But really, you just want to sip your latte until you’re more awake and hold off on starting this week a little bit longer, right? Right.

Well, don’t worry. I’ve got you covered. If there’s one thing us college girls are good at it’s procrastination. And if there’s one thing that never fails to provide the perfect means to procrastinate it’s YouTube. Whether you want to watch laughing babies or fuzzy animals, crazy teens, or talented pre-teens, YouTube has it all. The perfect way to kill time, to brighten your mood, and to make your Monday better.

This weekend, I had a lot of reasons to procrastinate. So I put my free time to good use and compliled a list of my top ten favorite YouTube sensations. Enjoy.

10. Baby Bopping to Single Ladies. Most adorable baby ever. Who would think that Bryonce’s video would have been such a hit with such a younger crew? I bet if he’d been at the VMAs, this baby would have been up there with Kanye in second.

9. David after the Dentist. Nothing quite like a little dental surgery to put things into perspective. I still laugh watching poor David struggle with “feeling funny,” with his worries that this might last forever, with his inability to count his fingers, and with the age old question we’re all asking every day, is this real life?

8. Greyson Chace. The boy that Ellen hopes will be the next Justin Bieber. She found his cover of Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi and was so impressed that she started her own record label just to sign him. The boy hasn’t exactly risen to fame yet, but given some time he might just get there.

7. OMG, Shoes. What could one possibly say about this video? Shoes. Shoes. Shoes. OMG, Shoes. Yes, I think that about covers it, don’t you?

6. The sneezing panda. Shortly after discovering this video, which I watched time after time, when I finally stopped laughing, I showed it to my mother. She watched it once, laughed, and said, “Damn kids, they can just never give you a moment of peace, can they?” Clearly, this YouTube video crosses species.

5. The Charlie bit me video. As an older sibling I stand by Charlie’s older brother. Younger siblings get away with murder, biting you and torturing you and really hurting you when everyone else just thinks they’re being cute. You may have the rest of the world fooled, Charlie, but I’ve got my eye on you.

4. The girl that did the cover of Lady Gaga’s Born This Way. Only ten years old and Maria Aragon is already singing like a pro. Lady Gaga was so moved by the video that she was brought to tears. And days later, while being interviewed the girl got a surprise call from Mother Monster herself and the two sang together. You really can’t beat that, can you?

3. The girl that needs a job before she can get married. I’m not sure how this little girl got so wise at such a young age, but I couldn’t be prouder watching that video. Maybe feminism isn’t lost on the next generation, after all.

2.  Evoluton of Dance. A 6 minute dance sequence that takes us through the eras, reminding everyone of just how ridiculous those seemingly super cool dance moves will look in a few years. It’s hilarious, but personally, I’m waiting for the remake that includes both the Macarena and the single ladies dance. Think Jud Laipply can teach me how to Dougie?

1. Justin Bieber. The Biebs took the number one spot if only because he really is the most successful YouTube sensation of all time. Where would the world be if he had never sung his heart out on YouTube? If Usher had never signed him? Teenage girls would still be obsessing over the Jonas Brothers!

Okay. So that’s my top ten. What are your favorite YouTube videos of all time?

Dear YouTube,

Happy Birthday!!!! You may only be 5 years old, but in your short lifespan, you have changed my life forever.  You have given regular people celebrity status, and for that, I am forever grateful.  You are there for me whenever I need you.  Whether I’m bored in class, can’t sleep, or need to be sidetracked from my homework, I can always count on you.

I don’t know where I would be without you today.  You were there for me the time Charlie bit my finger and there was blood everywhere.  I was so nervous for my first school dance, I thought it would be the end of ze world but you taught me the evolution of dance and I was able to shake that booty girl. I had so much fun dancing the night away to numa numa and it made me so hungry. Thank god it was peanut butter jelly time when we crashed at my house.

I will never forget the time we picked up david after his trip to the dentist and took him to the theme park with us.  There was a bit of a scare with that fat kid on the roller-coaster but otherwise we had so much fun, our hands were up and we were screaming weeee the whole time!! I cant wait to celebrate your birthday at the Korean karaoke bar tonight, it’s gonna be a blast!

So many more memories to come! BFFAEAE!
