ELI5: Freud's Id, Ego, and Superego

I've never been really good with understanding these concepts... they've come up in my Gender & Women's studies class.

Just wondering! :)
Thanks!

This is up for debate but

Think you mind being controlled by three things.

ID is like the animal part of your brain. It's the part that is like, that food is awesome let's eat it, she or he looks hot let's have sex with it. It's really not interested in long term and is more interesting the short term. Think of it like a frat boy.

The SuperEgo is the judgemental part of your brain. It's the part that is like you shouldn't eat that food it will make you fat, you shouldn't ask them out they'll only turn you down and it would be impolite. It's like the principal.

The Ego is sort of the moderate between the two. It tries to let the ID do what it wants to do but makes sure it doesn't have any horrible consequences and stop to SuperEgo from causing you to do something against your short term or long term interests. It's sort of the most realistic of the three and tries to make every good for the reality of the situation.

Some Freudian will probably explain it easier but that's 5 year old answer.
