"You Can Do WHAT With An Orange?"

Those stupid Snapchat News stories that we all know and hate.

We have all seen ridiculous headlines such as these on our Snapchat news.

With the new update, we are now forced to see them when we accidentally swipe right expecting to see our friends stories. Disappointingly we are instead thrown ridiculous headlines. It classifies itself as "news" when you actually get "27 Body Myths Kids Believed That Will Make You LOL" or "Alone and Thriving, HBU?" When reading these example headlines, containing not hard-pressing news, I am very upset that our youth is being shown this bull malarkey.

When going into my research of looking through the stories, I recorded myself losing a brain cell when reading each article.

At one point I did stumble upon an article that was talking about the most recent school shooting in Florida but, to my dismay, it was just some rumor slandering a police officer which is absolutely disrespectful, but that is a completely different article.

I also see that it is extremely hip and cool to create these new stories with starting with a number like 15 or 33. Maybe this generation of millennials has such a small attention span that we have to spark their curiosity through an odd digit. I don't know what it is but from its popularity, they have cracked the code. I will never personally understand it.

We should be educating our children on what is going on in the world around them or better yet just giving them information that can be beneficial to their lives. In conclusion, step up your game, Snapchat, and give me some news that is actual news.

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.
