8 Mandela Effects That Will Make You Question Your Entire Life
Secrets Of The Fed

If you haven't heard of the Mandela Effect, where have you been? Because it's all over the internet. In case you don't know what it is, it is when someone has a clear memory of something that never happened in reality. And I don't mean just one person, but thousands, even millions of people having this memory that apparently never happened. Some people think it's just a mix up of parallel universes, and that we are sliding in and out of these parallel universes without realizing it. Some people think it's caused by someone that invented a time machine in the future, and when they went back in time it subtly changed things and now some people remember the way it was before it was changed, and some people only remember it the way it is in reality. The following are just a few of the ones that trip me out the most, but there are many more all over the internet. To start off with, lets talk about the person it's named after: Nelson Mandela.

1. Nelson Mandela

It all started with many people, who were complete strangers, remembering that Nelson Mandela died in a South African Prison when he was serving time. Is that how you remember learning about it? Well, you're wrong. Nelson Mandela actually died from a respiratory tract infection in 2013.

2. Chic-Fil-A or Chick-Fil-A?


This one hits home to me. As a child, I have a vivid memory of tracing one of the napkins with a pen that had the logo "Chic-Fil-A" because I thought to myself how weird it was that they spelled it "Chic" instead of "Chick." This example alone has me convinced of this conspiracy theory.

3. The Berenstain Bears


You read that correctly. It is indeed spelled "Berenstain," not "Berenstein." Don't worry, you're not crazy, I remember it as "Berenstein" as well.

4. Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs


This example is one that will make you question your entire childhood. Even in today's society we use the slogan, "Mirror, mirror, on the wall." Well, that's wrong. The actual line is "Magic mirror on the wall." No, seriously. Go look up the scene on YouTube right now. So why does everyone still say "Mirror, mirror, on the wall" if that was never right?

5. Star Wars


This one goes right along with Snow White. In "Star Wars: Episode V - Empire Strikes Back," everyone remembers there being a line in the movie that says "Luke, I am your father." There are shirts that have that on there, action figures that speak those words, and millions, possibly billions of people remembering that line. Well, that line never happened. The actual movie says "No, I am your father." Convinced yet?

6. The Monopoly Man

Many people, including myself, specifically remember the monopoly man having a monocle on his eye. Well, he has never had one. Seriously. Google it.

7. Looney Tunes


Not "Looney Toons" as many of us remember it. "Toons" being a play on the word "cartoon" which makes more sense anyway. Everything about this looks and feels wrong.

8. Betty White


No, she's actually not dead. Some people remember hearing about her death years ago, but in fact, she's still alive and rockin' it at the age of 94.

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.
