In a viral video, Madi—Tiktoker @luvlyymadiii—said she forgot to open a letter from Maryville College and missed out on a $104k scholarship.

Anyone who has ever been to college in America knows the struggle to afford paying for education.

Most students, including myself, depended on scholarships in order to be able to attend college at all.

Madi's video garnered over 600k likes.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
