1. Extremely prolonged eye contact

I know it has been done before, it's a cliché, but if you really want to freak someone out this is a great starting point.

2. Asking someone if they have been crying, when they clearly haven't been.

This will make anyone question whether or not they are hiding their sadness... from themselves.

3. Laugh really hard in a genuine manner when you are alone in silence with a person (keep laughing until it gets extremely weird).

This would definitely freak me out, I highly suggest.

4. When you meet someone for the first time tell them you had a dream about them.

Straight up terrifying, try and give a weird amount of detail when explaining the dream.

5. Correct someone on your name, making up a new name each time you meet them (causing them to think they are going crazy not knowing what your name is).

This is a good one if you don't want to be friends with someone but they can't take the hint.

6. Drop something in front of a stranger and stare at them until they pick it up.


Great to do in a quiet, yet crowded place, like an airplane or a play.

7. Take a picture of someone you don't know that well, make it your phone background then show it to them.

Preferably a close up of their face. Also, this is super creepy so make sure you pick someone who at least kind of knows you.

8. After someone says something say "that's what I just said", even though you didn't, and look at them confused.

You really have to stick to your argument with this one. Also, try to do it when someone says something really specific to make it extra weird.

9. Randomly start breathing really loud and fast and tell everyone you don't know what they're talking about when they ask if you're okay.

This will definitely freak people out... maybe too much.

10. If someone lightly touches you scream and jump back.

This will make for some serious awkward silence, always remember to say "I'm just messing with you" after this one.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
