An Egg Now Holds the World Record for The Most Liked Instagram Photo, Yes You Read That Right
instagram

On January fourth an account with the user name of @world_record_egg posted a photo of an egg with the caption "Let's set a world record together and get the most liked post on Instagram. Beating the current world record held by Kylie Jenner (18 million)! We got this".

After catching worldwide attention and being shared by tons and tons of Instagram users, the account reached its goal. In fact it surpassed the goal along with Kylie Jenners Instagram post (Kylie herself even liked the photo of the egg)! The post slid in (as of January 16) with 44,363,282 likes. However, it is not done.

The picture is still accumulating tens of thousands of likes every time you refresh the post! The creator of the account has even gone as far as to create merch that includes black and white t-shirts with the saying "I liked the egg" written in yellow. There is also a twitter page associated with the record-breaking egg that is attempting to break the Twitter record for most retweeted tweet of all time. The owner of the page posted "Let's set a world record together and get the most retweeted tweet on Twitter. Beating the current world record held by Yusaka Maezawa (5.3 million).

The famous egg has now caught the attention of some pretty famous people also. Ellen Degeneres dedicated an entire segment on her show to the egg along with multiple Instagram posts about the egg. Other celebrities have given it attention also. Content creators such as Ryan Trahan have made Youtube videos about it, Emma Chamberlain has tweeted about it, and even Dr. Phil McGraw made an Instagram post about it! This egg has gained global social media fame (which is honestly a sentence I never thought would occur). So I would say 2019 is off to a pretty interesting start.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
