It made us laugh.

1. It Made Us Laugh (obviously)

I’m sure we can all remember a time when we were having a rough day and turned to Vine to help us out. We’d open up the app and watch 6-second clips that made us laugh until we were wheezing uncontrollably with tears running down our faces. It was like nothing from your horrible day mattered because you were dying over a newswoman getting her pants eaten by a goat.

2. It Created Iconic Comedic Moments

“Rebecca it’s not what you think!” “So, no head?” “Happy Birthday Raven!” “Ms. Keisha? Ms. Keisha?” (Cue Owen Wilson voice) “Wow,” “Stop! I could’ve dropped my croissant,” “Chris? Is that a weed?” There’s so many more that we all remember and it’s changed our sense of humor forever, I’m sure I’ll be saying these phrases around my grandkids and tell tales of the great green app.

3. It Raised a Ton of Money for Charity

When specific viners became popular, they decided to use their huge platform for good. Jake Paul and Jerome Jarre are just two examples of guys that both raised $1 million for different charities, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Other stars such as Liza Koshy, Lele Pons, David Dobrik and so many more all helped raise money through their huge following, and it was all because of Vine. Laughter is the best medicine for raking in cash for those in need.

4. It Captured Hilarious Moments

Vine is notorious for users catching mishaps on camera. From people falling over in the street, slipping on ice in the winter, breaking a fish tank, busting a hole in the wall because of slamming into it with a hoverboard, or even catching pets doing crazy stuff. It was a way to make us all laugh at ourselves or someone else for something that we might’ve done when no one was looking. It caught rare moments that probably would’ve never been seen if it wasn’t for Vine.


5. It Gave Everybody an Opportunity to Become Something

Vine gave many people a large platform to express themselves. It took many people from being just kids with an iPhone camera to being award-winning creators. It gave undiscovered talent a way to get their voice heard, and today you can hear their music on the radio and topping the charts, just two examples are Shawn Mendes and Ruth B. who first got their starts singing covers to their followers. Now they both have hit singles and songs on the radio. None of that would’ve been possible without the great app and the people that supported it. I'm sure we all wish that vine would rise from its grave but I guess it fits under the “only the good die young” category for the time being.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
