How do you Remember These?

Most Common Mandela Effects

The Mandela Effect is an unexplained phenomena that has been gaining more attention recently. It is the occurrence where many--and when I say many, I mean a lot--people remember certain things, whether that be movies, logos, or shows, that showcase in a particular way, but it actually turns out to be not true.

The term "Mandela Effect" came about when people remembered Nelson Mandela dying in the 80s while he was in prison and even recalled seeing clips on his funeral on TV. However, Mandela actually passed away inn December of 2013.

1. The Berenstain Bears

This being one of the most common talked about Mandela Effect; a lot of people remember Berenstain being spelt Berenstein.

2. "Luke, I am your father."

One of the most quoted lines in cinematic history, "Luke, I am your father." did not actually occur. Darth Vader actually says, "No, I am your father." Some people may just call this a misremembered line, but is it really?

3. Shazaam Movie?

A bunch of people seem to remember a movie from the 90s where Sinbad starred as a genie; yet there wasn't one. Those people who do remember the existence of Shazaam are certain that they are not confusing this movie with the one that stars Shaq as a genie, Kazaam.

4. Febreze

Another common Mandela Effect is the spelling of Febreze. Numerous amounts of people can recall it being spelt Febreeze.

5. The Monopoly Man

Don't you remember him wearing a monocle? Well he actually doesn't.

6. Sex and the City?

Most recall this show's title being Sex in the City, but in reality it is Sex and the city.

7. The Mona Lisa

This one personally freaks me out. A significant amount of people, including myself, remember Leonarda da Vinci's Mona Lisa having a sort of blank expression, but she now wears a smile??????

8. Froot Loops

A lot of people say that this cereal brand was originally spelt like so on the left, but today it is spelt how it is show on the right.

9. Looney Tunes

This one really messes with my head, considering I grew up with this show and vividly remember it being Looney Toons, not Looney Tunes. Since this show is a cartoon, it would make more sense of the show being called Looney Toons, right?

10. Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Another popular line that is quoted from a movie is from Snow White that most remember being said a certain way. The line that most of us, if not all of us, quote frequently "Mirror mirror on the wall..." is not what the evil queen actually says in the movie. She in fact says "Magic mirror on the wall..."

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.
