The Earth Is Definitely Flat And You Can't Convince Me Otherwise

A timely argument.

Last weekend, my campus was graced by a visit from the part time rapper and brilliant astrophysicist, B.o.B. (Or, as he likes to be known formally, R.o.B.E.R.T.)

While here, he of course lectured us on his award-winning and highly controversial theory that the Earth is, in fact, flat.

To those of you who are new to hearing this theory, that fact may come off as shocking. But B.o.B. has done extensive research into the topic, like looking out of an airplane window and not noticing a curve on the horizon. How do you explain that, huh?

The theory of the flat Earth actually has a long tradition throughout history. The Ancient Greeks believed in it, and what have they ever gotten wrong, really?

I know that I spend my days sacrificing goats to Poseidon in order to ensure safe voyage. It's irresponsible not to, really. You know who believed the Earth was round? Christopher Columbus.

We all agree that he was pretty shitty nowadays, right? Honestly, who wants to be a lame globalist, when you can join all of us cool discists?

Now, maybe you're asking yourself "What is the point? Why would the government, the academics, and the lizard-people lie to us about this?" and I have but one response: money.

Do you know how much it costs to buy a map? Like five buck. Twenty if it's a really nice one. Globes cost so much more to buy. I'm telling you guys, think about it.

The puzzle pieces all start clicking together when you look at it that way.

Now, you non-believers may decide that we are crazy. You'll call us uneducated, contrarians, and whatnot. You will try to knock us down, but guess what? We'll get back up and the world will keep on spinning.

...Wait! That's not what I meant!

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.

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.
