Ellen DeGeneres is probably one of the most positive people around: She's funny and wise, and always advocates for kindness. So when BuzzFeed UK sat down with Ellen to talk about her new film, Finding Dory, we saw it as the perfect opportunity to get her to answer your life questions. And she came armed with some pretty amazing advice.
Ellen DeGeneres: Well, be a normal 18-year-old. Don’t try to be 19, but don’t be 17 any more. Be 18, because you’re only 18 once. Don’t try to be older, and don’t fall into peer pressure just because other 18-year-olds are doing something. You do what you want to do, and be yourself – that’s your only job in life, is to be yourself. Why try to be anyone else? You only have this one you, so be yourself.

ED: Isn’t baking like engineering? Don’t you have to structure things? Your parents are not thinking clearly. Tell them it’s like being an engineer, and also they should let you be what you want to be. It’s not up to them who you are. They had you, they don’t own you.

ED: Oh god, anybody can make a difference, no matter how old you are. Whatever your cause is, just find a way to have your voice be heard. Speak out. There’s plenty of injustices right now. Do nice things, be a good person.
ED: Well, forget about the obstacles, because anything that you go into in life is going to have obstacles and risks. It’s boring to just play it safe. So, yes, you’re looking at it realistically, there are obstacles, but don’t worry about that. If you’re talented, talent is always going to win. Don’t let someone tell you you can’t do something. If you really want to do it, anything is possible.

ED: I think you should always set high expectations for yourself, and I don’t think you should feel bad if you fall short. It’s better to at least have expectations, so don’t punish yourself even if you do fall short – just know that you’re trying. Look, I’m a great example of failing and getting back up again. So, just...just keep swimming, I say. [laughs]

ED: I think you’re like anybody else in the world, and I think anybody who goes to college will study something that they’re not really going to follow, which is why I’m against college. [laughs] I’m kidding! Look, I didn’t know what I wanted to do until I was, like, 23 years old, so you can discover what your passion is and what you want to do – and, whatever you study, you may find that at some point it does come in handy. Especially if it’s baking and you want to be a baker.
ED: Oh, you can always find support. Even if they don’t support you initially, they will come around. Even if it’s not immediately, time has a way of moving forward, and even though this moment seems scary, you just have to support yourself. That’s all you ever have anyway. And you can always go find support, find someone, find a group of friends. Because if they don’t support you, they’re not your friends. If they don’t take you for who you are, and support you for being you, then they’re not the right friends.
ED: Well, don’t let them see all that horrible stuff. I mean, you can’t shield them from everything, but I agree with you, and I can’t imagine having children right now, because the world is a terrifying place. But that’s why it’s more important for them to be filled with kindness. Show them...my show. [laughs] We have people on my show that are examples of paying kindness forward and doing it all the time. Go to EllenTube – really, I’m not just plugging my stuff, EllenTube has so many good examples of people that do good things, and we have a “Good News Only” page where you can see only good things that are happening. We really are at a tipping point, where we have to have more good in the world than bad, so try to highlight people that are doing good things so your children see that there are other choices.

ED: I hated school. I changed schools every year and a half, so I was always the new person. I didn’t know anyone, and in every school I went to, people had all gone through all the grades together, so I was always the outsider. Clearly popularity is not that important, because I was not popular. School was a very bad experience for me. I know it’s isolating, I know it feels tough, but it’s a blip. You look back at school now, and that’s not what real life is, and the people that are usually popular in high school – if you ever go back to a high school reunion years later, they’re the losers. I think being an outsider really does build character. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be, being a part of a giant group where everybody’s all the same.

ED: I am not the person to ask – I never get out to meet anybody. I’m really bad at that. If you have a hobby, that’s where you’re going to meet like-minded people, but it’s tough. I think it’s really tough, and the older you get the harder it is to make new friends.
– Laura Snaith, Facebook
ED: Well, know that at least you found someone. At least you have love. I don’t know how you do that, because I wouldn’t be able to do that. At least you’re making plans, and things are going to happen. Just know that you at least have love. That’s the good news.
– Veronica Barczak, Facebook
ED: Is that the baker again? [laughs] I say always follow your passion, no matter what, because even if it’s not the same financial success, it’ll lead you to the money that’ll make you the happiest. A lot of money with the wrong career is not going to make you happy. If you have money without happiness, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s all about happiness.

ED: I have sadness in me, I have anger in me, I have heartbreak in me. I have all of the things everybody has who’s watching the news right now. It’s terrible. But what’s the alternative? You have to try to be that beacon of light, and I think that’s what we all have to do right now. I think everybody should have the same anger towards the injustice that’s happening, and the hatred that’s happening, and just fight it with love and compassion.
Here’s the full scoop (LOL).

An explanation for all those nights you can’t remember.

What about alcohol makes us forget things? And why does it only happen to certain people, on certain nights, or with certain drinks?
To get to the bottom of this, we spoke with Aaron White, PhD, senior scientific advisor to the director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), and Dr. Matt Sztajnkrycer, emergency medicine physician at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, about what really happens in your brain when you drink and how that can lead to blackouts (and everything that goes with it).
Alright, here we go.

White says it only takes a couple of drinks — depending on genetics and tolerance — for alcohol to enter your bloodstream and make its way to your brain, directly interfering with the areas that tell your body what to do. Here are the areas primarily impacted by booze:
White says that while you’re drinking your brain can develop what’s called an acute tolerance — a resistance to the effects of drugs or other things with just a single exposure to the drug — which means your brain is effectively learning how to minimize the effects of the alcohol.
Most parts of your brain can also develop a long-term tolerance to alcohol, which means the more experience your brain has with it, the more tolerance it'll be able to build up, and the more you'll be able to function normally even with a high blood alcohol content (BAC). White says this is why some people can be absolutely hammered, but walk around and talk like they're completely fine; their cerebellum, which controls their motor coordination, has developed a higher tolerance.
