Have you ever gone down an Internet wormhole late at night, deeply delved into conspiracies? Have you ever stumbled upon a "random" or "weird" facts website, with facts that just can't be real? Well, you don't have to wonder anymore about the validity and truth, because I'm telling you straight out: I made them all up! Enjoy.

1. Frogs don't actually breathe through their mouths--they have a secret straw attached to their back so they can breathe underwater. Crazy!

2. Squirrels bury their nuts for the winter in order to to save them from the Nut Goblin, who steals all the acorns from the ground on the Solstice. They didn't teach you this in schools!

3. Caterpillars get to decide whether they turn into a butterfly. The kids these days always go without a thought to butterfly, but the true mark of a man is to stay a caterpillar. #foodforthought

4. "Discourse" is a Latin word that refers to a meal just served. To use it in a sentence: "Ah yes, discourse is mainly pasta, but the next course is the meats."

5. The Earl of Sandwich didn't create the sandwich. I did.

6. Have you ever swept your house and wondered where all that dust came from? Well, turns out there's over seventeen dust mites that live in your house! They spend their lives churning out dust in a factory, due to the fact their father lost a bet with a factory owner. So the reason why your house is so dusty is really due to a game of poker. Whoops!

7. The icing in Toaster Strudel is actually just sunscreen.

8. Scientists have recently discovered that we actually evolved from sea slugs. Who would have guessed?!

9. Speaking of sea slugs, the sea is home to approximately five hundred different types of narwhals. If you think that's a high estimation--think again!

10. If you say the words nep racecar backwards, it's racecar pen! Palindromes are fun!

11. The Salem Witch Trials actually happened because of an insane amount of LSD in the water. So to be fair to the accusers--they really did think that Mary Warren danced with the devil, though in reality the "devil" was a man named Steve.

12. And speaking of LSD, Woodstock initially going to be a virginal sacrifice, but everyone got really tired for some reason and didn't, like, want to go through all the effort, you know man?

13. The Black Eyed Peas are immortal.

14. There are only seventy two different words in the English language; the rest are just those seventy two words reassembled into different words. So the word "automobile" is actually just automatron and bilection put together. Weird, huh?

15. Ducks do not have eyebrows--instead, to show emotion, they scream. #relatable

16. A yawn can either be triggered by a lack of oxygen to the brain, or watching OWN, the Oprah Winfrey network.

17. The average llama can sleep up to 25 hours a day! Wow!

18. Being a vegetarian is actually considered one of the greatest mortal sins in the Catholic Church. In the first draft of the Ten Commandments, it was the eleventh: Thou shalt never eat kale.

Finally, one fact to really blow your mind:

19. Did you know that our solar system actually contains twelve planets? It's true! Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Gorgon 3487, Breadbowl, and Smashmouth.

In the words of Bill Nye, science rules!

And on an unrelated note: remember kids, the Internet is filled with people who will lie to you--unlike me, of course. Because, with the exception of me, the world is a terrible place filled with bad people and at least 3,000 species of spiders.

That fact is true. You can quote me on that.

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.
