I originally intended this for this article to be funny, but the Internet has actually taught me some serious stuff.

25 Things I’ve Learned On The Internet
MAWH

1. No matter how many times I see a funny video or meme I will still laugh for a solid 5-10 minutes.

2. If you need a laugh, look no further than Yahoo answers.

3. I am easily pissed off when people say dumb things - it literally takes everything I have to not start with them.

4. There is absolutely no limit to what people will post on the internet.

5. A political opinion cannot be expressed and be protected by the First Amendment. The poster will always fall victim to the wraith of those with opposite views. Free speech? Yeah, that doesn’t exist on the internet.

6. Filters are a lifesaver.

7. It is a common misconception that almost every disagreement must reach an immature level. Some girls will always resort to referring to another girl as “sis” when a disagreement become intense.

8. Some people have too much time on their hands. There is no need to post your entire day on your Snapchat story.

9. Memes about how dysfunctional your life is help you cope. They make it hurt that much less.

10. There is a SpongeBob meme for literally everything.

11. We have become absorbed in making our lives look fun and happy. Some of the saddest people can seem so happy.

12. Since people are good at masking hardship and sadness, try your best to be kind to everyone. You never really know what is going on in their life.

13. I miss vine - more and more with each one I rewatch.

14. If a picture isn’t good enough to post on Instagram, post it on Twitter.

15. Some people actually believe that “the Office isn’t that funny”.. how naive right?

16. Bonds are instantly made when people agree or have the same interests.

17. People usually have no idea what they’re talking about.

18. Social media is a useful tool in making sure your voice is heard. It can be used to inspire change and an easy way to get people involved in movements.

19. The way you express opinions is crucial. It’s not what you say it’s how you say it.

20. It’s not worth following people that don’t retweet funny content.

21. People live for other people to know what they are eating.

22. We are all stalkers in our own way.

23. People can’t live in the moment. They are always wishing they could go back.

24. Literally everything can be offensive.

25. Sometimes you need to log off. Social media breaks are extremely beneficial.

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.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
