The 5 Things You'll Find In Heaven

Ever wonder where all those lost ChapSticks go?

The 5 Things You'll Find In Heaven
Wikipedia

Mitch Albom broke into the literary scene with his big hit, "The Five People You'll Meet in Heaven." Well, I got to thinking of the five things we'd find in heaven. There are a handful of items that always seem to find a way of going missing. No matter how many times you run to the store to replace them, they will eventually -- and very quickly-- disappear. Here are the Five Things You'll Find in Heaven.

1. ChapStick

I have yet to meet a person who has successfully used up a tube of ChapStick before losing it. If you have, I would personally like to congratulate you and shake your hand. On average, we tend to lose a ChapStick after a couple of months. Unfortunately, they tend to go missing in the winter months when living a ChapStick-less life is extremely painful.


2. Bobby pins

Whether you're a guy or a girl, chances are you find bobby pins extremely annoying. If you're a girl, it's because you're always losing them. If you're a guy, it's because you're likely finding them scattered all over the place. A pack of 24 brand spanking new bobby pins can vanish in a matter of days. Beyond the pearly gates, I expect to see mountains and mountains of bobby pins, glistening in brown and black glossy hues.


3. New school supplies

The beginning of every school year is marked by a trip to Staples, Target or the like. Carts are filled with highlighters, pens, folders, pencils, Post-Its... Check back in three months, everything is gone. We're borrowing pencils (that we conveniently forget to return) and writing notes on the back of the syllabus (that we miraculous still have). Where do they all go? My guess? Heaven. Where everywhere you turn is a fully stocked aisle of school supplies.


4. Pen caps

On a similar note, if you are lucky enough to have not lost your pen, chances are you at least will have lost its cap. Those suckers get decapitated left and right. The time frame of pen decapitation varies, but by the end of the school year, you'll be grateful to have a pen with ink in it, regardless of its uncapped nature. Fret not, though. One day you will behold a beautiful image: mounds and mounds of pen caps. In my mind, they are a brilliant Bic blue.

*Side note: as the image suggests, it's likely Heaven holds all of the headphones you've ever purchased.


5. Keys & locks


We all have that bike lock without a key, or maybe you have the key but the lock is nowhere to be found. Chances are you have a least one random set of keys that you have absolutely no idea what they go to. Or how about all of those combination locks that we bought in middle school or high school, only to realize we never needed them? They're somewhere. And by somewhere, I mean Heaven.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
