Why Minions Are The Worst
Start writing a post

I still remember the day that "Despicable Me" came out. Everyone was raving about this new movie and how adorable all of the characters were, including some weird alien-like yellow beings who apparently had their own language. Eventually, I got the opportunity to see this movie that everyone was talking about, and I was pleasantly impressed. The film was pretty adorable, and the addition of these little yellow creatures helped to bring it all together. Little did I know that soon I would see these things as among my worst enemies.

That's right. I hate Minions. I can't stand them or the ideas they represent. Here's a list of why minions are pretty much the worst things ever created:

1. They probably worked for Hitler.

Yep, that's right, your beloved minions follow the world's biggest supervillains—and let's be honest, one of the biggest villains was Adolf Hitler.

2. They don't even speak a known language.

What is the actual point of watching a movie where literally no one understands what they're saying?

3. They're not even cute!

They look like walking tic-tacs. What is the appeal of that?

4. They are absolutely everywhere you look.

The next time you're at Target or Walmart, just take a gander at how many minion products you will see. I promise that it will sicken you. That my friends, is capitalism at its best.

5. Those stupid minion posts that your grandma posts on Facebook.

Why, just why do middle-aged women and older people have to post inspirational quotes with a minion in the corner on Facebook? I'm sorry, Linda, but what does a minion have to do with the quote "Smile, you're prettier that way"?

6. The Minion movie is meant for children, yet they're sexualized.

How does someone sexualize a literal walking yellow bean? By putting a thong on it, of course.

7. Minions are now taking over weddings.

Please, I am begging you, do not have a minion-themed wedding. You will regret this.

8. People are now getting minion tattoos.

I didn't think it was possible to hate yourself this much, but alas.

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.
