With all the education we have received, it seems crazy that there are still facts out there that have been able to blow our minds. But each time we are left in shock and awe and are just waiting for it to happen again. So here are a few facts that you may or may not know. Get the cleaning supplies out, because your mind is about to explode all over the walls.

1. Remember Humpty Dumpty? Everyone assumes he is an egg, but he isn't. The rhyme never says anything about him being an egg.

2. You can always see your nose, but your mind just chooses to ignore it most of the time.

3. You were at one point the youngest person in the world.

5. You cannot hum while holding your nose.

6. An octopus has three hearts.

7. There are more than twice as many nipples on the planet than people. And it is more than twice because a lot of people have a third or even fourth nipple.

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.

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.
