We have all seen those shrieking horrors of the sky that we call "birds." Many people have been fooled into thinking birds are your friends. However, that is just not so. Here are 11 facts about birds that may shock you.

1. Birds wake you up super early.

This summer, there was a solid two weeks where I couldn't fall asleep until 7-8 a.m. The main culprit to my insomnia? Birds greeting each other at 3 a.m.


2. Hanging with birds will lower your GPA.

Can birds help you study? No, all they do is distract you from your classes and eat your sunflower seeds.


3. Birds are super judgy.

They definitely keep a burn book on everyone they see.


4. If you eat a raw bird, you'll probably get sick.

There's no way you'll survive a zombie apocalypse on raw bird meat.

5. If you hang out with a bird, you'll probably get sick.


Remember the bird flu epidemic? Need I say more?


6. Birds are narcissistic jerks.


Birds are so full of themselves that they only want to talk about themselves and never want to listen to you. Talk about terrible friends.


7. They literally spy on your every move.

Crow experts say that crows learn from watching others. In fact, I have seen crows pick up trash and throw it in the garbage. But while they are spying on us, what else are they learning? Our secrets, perhaps?

8. Birds feed on your weaknesses.


Still think birds are your friends? Guess again. Because birds are constantly surveying you, they naturally know all of your weaknesses. "Why do you think they poop on you when you're already having an crappy day?" says Dr. Bryson Gobel, who has a Ph.D. in Bird Philosophy.

9. You have never seen a bird.

Think about it. Have you actually SEEN a bird? No. Those so-called birds aren't actually birds at all, but highly detailed Obama Drones that track your every move. These drones were first implemented in the fine print of the Patriot Act of 2001, and became public knowledge through the Affordable Care Act of 2010 (hence, why birds are actually called "Obama Drones".)


10. There is a movement against the birds.

On January 21, 2017, in Memphis, Tennessee, one brave man started protesting the birds at a Women's March. His video went viral, and countless others also joined the #BirdsArentReal movement, creating signs and proclaiming the truths about the birds, using the slogan "Wake up America!". There are several social media accounts dedicated to this cause that you can follow, including https://birdsarentreal.tumblr.com.


11. Some Corban students are a part of that movement.


During finals week of last semester, two Corban students started a movement. They wanted to live in a world that knew that truth, that America needed to wake up and smell the dead bird corpeses (or more realistically, the melting metal,) and become aware of the imminent threats that birds pose.


Now that you know the truth, join the movement. Share this article using #BirdsAren'tReal.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
