Conspiracy Theories

Mind-blowing, am I right?

Conspiracy Theories

As humans, we thrive on the drama; it excites us. So when we hear about theories that seem to explain the unexplainable, we eat it up. A conspiracy theory, by definition is a belief that some influential organization is responsible for a circumstance or event-in layman's terms; it’s something that blows our freaking minds. There have been countless conspiracy theories to be introduced during our lifetime and, I have to admit, a few of them actually got me.

Paul McCartney conspiracy:

There is a theory that the famous Beatle singer actually died in 1966 and the rest of the band hired someone that had the same mannerisms, looks, voice and personality as the original McCartney. Billy Shears was hired to be his stand in, but the rest of the band soon regretted their decision to hire a poser so they started leaving clues in their music. There is lots of evidence to support this theory, but one that really struck me was if you play the song "I’m So Tired" backwards you clearly hear John singing “Paul is dead, I miss him, I miss him.” If that doesn’t send a chill down your spine I’m not sure what will.


Bernstein Bears conspiracy:

Everyone remembers that loveable Bear family that taught us so many lessons throughout our childhood, but what people don’t seem to remember is how their names were spelt. Lots of people including myself, remembers is being spelt BerenstEin Bears, but apparently it’s actually spelled BerenstAin Bears. Several theorists are chalking this up to the Mandela Effect (false memories and parallel realities). Another theory that I just can’t seem to wrap my head around is the Butterfly Effect. This means at some point in the years 1986-2011, someone traveled back in time and altered the timeline of history so that Berenstein became Barenstain. The Internet has been going absolutely mad about this whole ordeal, I guess that’s why they say don’t mess with time travel? So are you Team E or Team A?


Moon landing conspiracy:

This isn’t a new conspiracy, but it seems that people are trying to come up with new stories about the Moon landing everyday. The latest theory is that is was faked-obviously--but that it was all filmed underwater. Crazy right?! There have been videos circulating the Internet where you can see and air-bubble emerges out of an astronaut’s helmet. What do you think, Moon landing real or fake?


Mythical creatures:

We have heard of urban legends of such creatures such as the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot forever; there is tons and tons of evidence, like pictures, journal entries and even movies videos of these mystical creatures roaming the Earth among us and yet people are still skeptical about them. In my opinion, it’s pretty cool to believe because, at this point, it’s almost magical. All I have to say is that the ocean makes up 71 percent of our planet and 95 percent of the ocean has yet to be explored, so we actually have no idea who or what is down there, so I’m pretty much going to believe anything.


Pixar conspiracy:

We all know there are so many Disney theories and all of the movies are somehow connected; just thinking about it makes my head spin. There is one theory I found most interesting above the rest: The witch from "Brave" is actually Boo from "Monsters, Inc." Now before I lose you hear me out, it is somewhat complicated and does involve magic and time travel. Basically Boo learned how to travel through doors just like her monster BFF’s Mike and Sully-or less formally knows as KITTY! She is so determined to see Sully again that when she grows up she travels to the time that Brave takes place: medieval Scotland. Why? Because she hears of the magical Whisps, thinking that they will lead her back to Sully. All of this explains her fascination with wood and why whenever she opens and closes a door, the Witch disappears, plus if you look close enough you can see a carving of Sully in her cabin.


Of course there are many many more conspiracies’ out there, just waiting to be explored. What is your favorite theory?

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.
