Warning: Happy Tears Ahead

I used to think that life was grand, that people were good, and that the only thing that could make me cry was the Married Life montage in Up.

I used to be naive.

When I came across this post, I was absolutely revolted:


"Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing." -Some Douche

Yep, you read that correctly. Some oxygen-suckhole decided to humiliate this dancing "specimen" (specimen? seriously?!) in public, laughing at him and ruining his fun. To top it all off, they photographed the attack, and uploaded it to the internet so that their mouth-breathing friends could laugh along from their respective mothers' basements. Sorry, mothers.

Fortunately, Twitter's @CassandraRules (she's right by the way, she absolutely does rule) was just as revolted, and decided to take action. She sent out a tweet hoping to find the dancing man in order to do something "special" for him.


As time went on, the search became a fully-fledged movement to #finddancingman, with the promise of having an enormous dance party for Dancing Man and Cassandra, along with 1,726 of her closest female friends.


The search continued, and some celebrities hopped on board:


Only days later, Dancing Man was found! With a smile on his face, he made contact with the women who hoped to throw a party in his honor.


And... this is where the happy tears start flowing. The party happened! Over 1,000 people came to the LA function, including Monica Lewinsky, an outspoken proponent to end the growing problem of cyberbullying; DJ Moby; and of course, the star of the party-- Dancing Man himself.

As horrific as the original post was, it's nice to know that the good guys won this round.


Keep on dancin', Dancing Man.

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.
