Surely all college students can relate on some level to the hobby of spending hours on YouTube, watching fail videos, weird cats, baby animals or nothing in particular.

However, the students of BYU have not had the good fortune to be able to enjoy such pastimes ever since the university banned the site on campus in 2006. But no more. The administration lifted the ban on Friday, citing the increasing number of educational materials available on the site.

Luckily, the students of UC Berkeley have never had to endure such a ban, and the minds of our Utah neighbors can now be infiltrated by cat videos … and educational materials, of course.
