The 4 Best Monty Python Sketches, Ever

There's no arguing that Monty Python is maybe the most iconic comedy group to ever grace the Earth, but there's often much debate around which sketch is their best.

There's no arguing that Monty Python is maybe the most iconic comedy group to ever grace the Earth, but there's often much debate around which sketch is their best.

"Twentieth Century Vole"

"Twentieth Century Vole" is not only hilarious, it's an insightful commentary into the pressures of being a screenplay (and sometimes novel!) writer. It reminds me not to take people's criticism too seriously, because they might be one step away from the looney bin.

"Parrot Sketch"

This sketch wouldn't be the same without John Cleese's outrageous declarations, facial expressions, and flamboyant personality. One of the classics that really shows off his talent as a writer, comedian, and actor.

"Argument Clinic"

Again, a clever sketch that breaks the 4th wall and becomes self-aware. My favorite part has to be Gregory Chapman's turn-on-a-dime attitude change. "Oh, sorry, this is abuse" gets me every time.

"Fish License"

Another nonsensical, yet side-splittingly funny sketch! There are some extremely subtle jokes and then there are bits that the whole family can laugh at, which is a common theme in a lot of Monty Python sketches. Needless to say, this one's a gem.

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.
