Finding Your Own Soggy Cardboard Box

Exploring an old warehouse full of stuff and the discoveries I found.

Finding Your Own Soggy Cardboard Box
Kayla Hands

It's astounding what you can find in a soggy cardboard box in an old warehouse full of junk. With three dollars, I purchased a cardboard box full of assorted photographs just out of pure curiosity. Inside I found a variety of black and white photographs, post cards, and prints dating back to around the early to late 1900's. Almost of the contents of this box are photographs or post cards, which aren't always that interesting. However, I did find a very peculiar 4x6 photograph in the box.

My first thought when seeing this image was, "It's the Titanic." After some further research and a Google Image search, I still have not been able to figure out whether or not this is the Titanic. The Titanic was built in Belfast in 1909 and featured four large smokestacks. This image is obviously zoomed in on the passenger liner. Besides only seeing one smokestack in this image, it is spot on when compared to an image of the Titanic. The Titanic is either known for the very well known movie or its collision with an iceberg killing nearly 1,800 people. Whether this image is of the Titanic or not I find it very interesting.

If you are into movies featuring televisions biggest mobs and gangs, then you have most likely seen the movie GoodFellas. Growing up in a household where the Oceans movies, GoodFellas, and many others were played repeatedly, I was ecstatic over my next big find in this box of wonders. Inside was an autographed black and white print of Tony Darrow (still alive today), one of the major cast members in the movie GoodFellas.

The moral of this article is to prove that you shouldn't be afraid of dusty, random places full of very cool stuff. Explore where curiosity takes you and find some interesting junk.

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.
