7 Monty Python Sketches To Get You Through The Day
Just Good Vibe

In 1969, six men known as Monty Python created a sketch show called "Monty Python's Flying Circus." While many of you reading may not have seen the show or even heard of Monty Python, they continue to be a source of entertainment for many. If you ever find yourself stuck in a day that just won't end, Monty Python can be a source of joy for you as well. Below are seven sketches from "Monty Python's Flying Circus" that will surely bring a smile to your face.

1. Self-Defense Against Fruit

What makes the above sketch a pick-me-up is that it's a seemingly random and silly topic that's humorous in and of itself. When will you ever need to defend yourself against fruit?

2. The Ministry of Silly Walks

The Ministry of Silly Walks is my personal favorite. The basic premise is a government department that exists for the sole purpose of developing silly walks. John Cleese provides a prime example of what a silly walk should look like. His height and flexibility help make this sketch so amusing.

3. Flying Sheep

The main reason I enjoy this sketch is because of the sheep noises in the background. Because they could not bring real sheep on set, the sheep noises are provided by the rest of the Pythons. The noises alone are enough to make you smile.

4. The Fish Slapping Dance

If you're looking for a short sketch, the "Fish Slapping Dance" is the one. Only 15 seconds long, the "Fish Slapping Dance" is exactly what the title states, and it's a quick way to brighten your day.

5. Flower Arranging

I included this sketch because of the character: DP Gumby, a recurring character on the show. Any sketches involving DP Gumby never fail to make me laugh. Perhaps the same will hold true for you.

6. Undressing In Public

In "Undressing in Public", a beachgoer wishes to change into his swimwear, but keeps getting interrupted while trying to do so. The ending is the crowning moment in the sketch when the beach goer finds himself on stage and ultimately decides to put on a show for the audience

7. Argument Clinic

This sketch is a simple back and forth of two people arguing, one who paid to do so! I know people who argue in a manner similar to the characters in the sketch, part of the reason why it makes me laugh. I'm sure you know someone who does the same.

Whether you're having a bad day or just want a quick laugh, the above sketches will help you out and bring a smile to your face. You can also find many more Monty Python's Flying Circus sketches and silly videos on their YouTube channel.

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.
