1. Tapping on the right side of videos on Twitter makes them fast forward.

2. Tired of spam likely calls?

If you have T-Mobile dial #662# to block all spam likely calls.

3. Having trouble pressing where you want to edit in a text?

Press down the spacebar and drag it to where you want to edit.

4. Ever wondered why an octopus has 8 legs and an octagon has 8 sides, and October is not the 8th month?

Julius Caesar (July) and Augustus Caesar (August) messed up the calendar. September comes from Septa which is 7. November is Nova for 9 and December is Deca for 10.

5. Glade air fresheners.

You are supposed to pull the top of the air fresheners and not the bottom.

6. Wonder why your fingers shrivel?

It is your body adapting to have grip underwater.

7. No tears shampoo does not actually mean no tears.

It means if you get it in your eyes, it will still burn. It means that your hair would not tear or tangle.

8. The letter A is not in the numbers 0-999.

Stan is actually a combination of "stalker" and "fan."

House Of Sick People Including Treatment and Labour.

12. The mysterious hole in CFA boxes.

These were made so you can put your straw in it and use the cup as a table.

13. The lines on a solo cup are measurement marks.

The top mark is for beer. The second mark is for wine. The third mark is for liquor.

14. The tab on cans (like coke) is meant to be used.

If you turn them, you can insert your straw so it does not move.

15. TAG means "touch and go."

16. Twitter means "Typing What I'm Thinking To Everyone Reading."

18. Listen and silent have the same letters.

19. There is an 8 at the center of the 8 of diamonds.

20. The lines at the bottom of the freezer were made to stand meet trays up.

21. Your tongue does not follow the laws of gravity.

Your tongue rests at the top of your mouth, not the bottom.

22. ADIDAS stands for "All Day I Dream About Sports."

23. The division symbol is just a blank fraction with dots replacing the numerator and denominator.

24. The mall is called "mall" because instead of going to one store, you are going to "them all."

25. Bananas are curved because they grow towards the sun.

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.
