Okay, let's be honest. There were some pretty great Super Bowl commercials this year. I mean, some just really knocked it out of the park.

However, per usual, there were a select few that just totally missed the mark. You know, the ones that leave you thinking, "Wait, what just happened? What am I watching?" So ladies and gentlemen, in order of decreasing weirdness, here are your top 4 weirdest commercials of the 51st Super Bowl,

4. Secret Avocado Cult

Okay, really, out of all the weird commercials here, this one I probably understood the most. Like, I got what they were trying to do. But the second they all start gorging on avocados together in those spooky robes, I just lost it. Like, just show me a puppy and someone eating guac, and I would've totally started craving avocados. That's all it takes, people.

3. Humpty Dumpty's Turbo Tax

This one was actually pretty funny. And it's bound to be a success when you bring childhood nursery rhymes into play. However, I took one look at Humpty Dumpty and thought, "Oh my gosh, who is that giant baseball in that hospital bed?" Like I get that Humpty Dumpty is supposed to be an egg, but it took me the better part of the commercial to figure out why they drew Humpty Dumpty like a massive, fluffy baseball. Plus, that gooey egg yolk that starts to drip out of him? I almost put down my cheese dip for a second.

2. T-Mobile's Attempt at 50 Shades

Oh boy. Where to even begin here? My first thought was, "Okay, where are the children at this party? Are they seeing this?" Like guys, come on. I know that Valentine's Day is coming up and another Fifty Shades film just came out, but it just didn't do it for me.

Not only was it super weird and left me pitying the people at Verizon support centers, but the idea just wasn't executed well. As Pam from the TV show Archer would say, "Inappropes."

1. Bud Lite's Ghost Dog of Beers Past

I honestly couldn't believe I watched the entire thing for this one. I get the whole drink with your friends thing, go bond and make some inside jokes. But a floating dog? He can't even open a beer by himself, why is he teaching me a life lesson about drinking with friends? The only good thing about this commercial was that the dog didn't let him go into his friends' house wearing a fedora.

So, at the end of the day, we knew that some commercials would end up being sub par. But hey, everyone put in some great effort. And to my Top 4 here, don't worry guys. You tried.

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.
