10 Crazy Mandela Effects You've Probably Fallen For

10 Crazy Mandela Effects You've Probably Fallen For
Higher Perspective

Since the beginning of summer, I have fallen into a deep hole of conspiracy theories and Mandela Effects on YouTube.

Mandela Effects are when a large sum of people remember an event or an object as something different than it is. When this happens, it is said there has been a break in parallel universes. Recently, the big effect was with The Berenstain Bears. Many people remember it being the Berenstein Bears.

You may think I am exaggerating the enormity of some of these effects, but it is interesting to think about:

1. Magic Mirror on the wall

One of the very notable quotes from Snow White is when the Evil witch is speaking to her mirror saying, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" when actually she says, "Magic Mirror on the wall."

2. Life was like a box of chocolates

One of the most famous quotes in film history is from Forrest Gump when he is sitting on a park bench. Many believe he says, "Life is like a box of chocolates," but he really says, "Life was like a box of chocolates."

3. Mickey Mouse's clothes

Many remember Mickey Mouse to be wearing yellow shoes, red shorts with bug white buttons, and suspenders. But as it turns out, he never wore suspenders. So why do so many toy companies create toys where he is wearing suspenders?



4. Peanut butter

Growing up, I always thought there were two main brands of Peanut Butter: Skippy and Jiffy. Turns out I was wrong.

5. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

This one might be a stretch for some of you, but I remember the famous Dr. Seuss book, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. But it has always been, How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

6. Star Wars

It has been requoted in films, sitcoms, on shirts, and many other forms of merchandise: Darth Vader's famous line, "Luke, I am your father." But if you go back and rewatch the scene, he said, "No, I am your father,"

7. C3P0

While we are on Star Wars, many people have reportedly remembered C3PO as being all gold, but he actually has a silver leg.

8. Febreze

Famous for their crazy commercials of blindfolding people and bringing them into unsanitary places, I personally remember the company as being specifically Febreeze, but all along it has been just Febreze.

9. Volkswagen

I always thought the Volkswagen Logo was a V and W combined and overlapping, similar to the New York Yankees logo, but alas, once again I am wrong, and there is a gap in the middle.

10. Skechers

Last is my favorite theory and one that drives me crazy. I feel very strongly about this effect in particular, because I believe with my entire soul that this shoe company has always been Sketchers, and suddenly it is Skechers. It just looks wrongs without the t.


These are just some of the many Mandela Effects out there. I encourage you to check more out and pay close attention to brands around you because one day, the universes could shift and life as we know it could be altered.

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.
