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!

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.
