1. President-elect Trump (The Simpsons)

The seventeenth episode of the eleventh season of the Simpsons mentioned that Donald Trump had become president in the future. The episode first aired March, 19 2000, and now in present times, it seems that Trump will be our president in the coming year.

2. 9/11 (Johnny Bravo, The Simpsons and Asi Sufre Latino America)

9/11 was a very horrible incident, there are tons of conspiracy theories about the disaster, but people become even more suspicious when they see all of the references to before it even happened.

"Chain Gang Johnny" aired April 27, 2001 only months before the 9/11 attack. In the background you see a poster of a burning tower captured, "coming soon."

The Simpsons episode, "To Surveil with Love" aired May 2, 1997. Bart is looking at a magazine about New Work with the dollar sign by a big 9 with two towers beside it. The graphic creates 9/11.

This book was written in 1983. The cover features a picture of the twin towers on flames with people falling out of the tower.

3. Libyan Dictator Gaddafi 2011 death (Second Chance)

Second Chance's first episode was set in purgatory, July 29, 2011. During the episode Dictator Gaddafi appears in purgatory after dying. Gaddafi died in real life in October 2011, only months from the predicted date. Second Chance aired in the 80's.

4. Nicki Manaj Cousin death (We Miss You - Nicki Manaj)

Nicki Manaj's song We Miss You was written a year before her cousin's death. In the song she sings about someone leaving in July and asks why the doctors couldn't stop their bleeding. Her cousin died July of the following year after being shot and and left to bleed to death.

5. The Internet (Mark Twain)

"Day by day, and night by night, he called up one corner of the globe after another, and looked upon its life, and studied its strange sights, and spoke with its people, and realized that by grace of this marvelous instrument he was almost as free as the birds of the air, although a prisoner under locks and bars. He seldom spoke, and I never interrupted him when he was absorbed in this amusement," said Mark Twain in an the London Times in 1904. It sounds very much like the internet.

6. The Year of 1998 (Americathon)

Americathon came out in 1979. The movie predicted that in 1998 the U.S would be depleted of all oil, Nike would become a huge brand, the USSR would collapse, China would become powerful and reality television would go out of control.

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.
