If You Haven’t Heard Of John Crist, You Need To Check Your Heart

He's all over the internet. 1 million followers on Instagram, almost 2 million followers on Facebook, nearly 200k followers on Twitter, and over 82 million views on YouTube, John Crist is a familiar face in the world of comedy. If you haven't heard of him, you've been living under a rock. John is known for his trademarked phrases like "Check Your Heart", "I Ain't Praying For That", and " For Sure No." Go check out his merch at johncristcomedy.com and buy yourself something. Then, go to one of his shows and prepare to leave with your cheeks and abs hurting from laughing so much.

John loves to connect with his fans. From t-shirt contests to picking on random people in the audience, John knows how to have a good time and make people feel like they're a part of the show. I remember at one of his shows I attended a while back, he told the story of a woman with cancer who would lay in her hospital bed and watch his comedy videos. She sent him a message to let him know that his videos helped her forget the pain of the cancer. She felt free and like she could just enjoy life for a little bit. That's the type of comedian that is worth watching and laughing with.

John is also known for hilariously quoting Bible verses in several of his videos. His "Lady who has a Bible verse for Every Situation" video has over 2 million views! Why is he always on tour and always posting incredibly long Instagram stories? Because his fans love his commentary! When you're funny, people want you to post stuff. When you post funny stuff, people follow you because they want to keep seeing your funny stuff. If your funny stuff focuses on the everyday things that most of us don't give a second thought, you'll connect with a huge audience. John found that sweet spot.

Another thing that John is really good at is making people go "Yeah, that is a good point." His recent post about Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran's song "I Don't Care" is SO TRUE. If the Biebs and Ed don't fit in, why do the rest of us even try? Thank you, John for pointing that out. We're glad you feel the same way we do.

John is basically a child in a grown man's body. He's so relatable to his audience because he does a good amount of his shows in churches, making fun of the weird stuff Christians say and do. It's good, clean fun and a blast to actually be there in the audience. If you're lucky, you'll be one of the people John picks on during the show. Just remember to check your heart before showing up. If you don't, for sure no you will not have a good time.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
