"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." - Dr. Martin Luther King

With the recent headlines across the world that very light seems to be heavily dim. But at times moments occur where that light is projected to the masses. In 2014 popular SNL alum Jimmy Fallon made a game changing move with taking the "Tonight Show" back to its New York roots with the Roots as his accompanying band. This past week Fallon has surpassed 500 episodes with his always entertaining, occasionally uplifting, smash hit show.

Laughter is a universal language with the power to make our world's current reality a bit easier to bear. The following are a few of my favorite moments from the "Tonight Show" that can brighten up anyone's day.

"Evolution of Hip-Hop Dancing."

This skit was from his debut episode, and who better than the Fresh Prince to help him kick it off?


"Wheel of Musical Impressions with Christina Aguilera."

Christina's impression of Britney Spears should be placed in the Smithsonian or have its own star on the Walk of Fame.


"Lip Sync Battle with Emma Stone."

Thanks to Emma's performance alone this skit now has an entire show dedicated solely to this contest with host LL Cool J and Chrissy Teigen.


"Lip Sync Battle with Melissa McCarthy."

Loved that one! Then here's another one. But don't worry there are plenty more to watch!


"Hello w/ Classroom Instruments."

From the look of pure awe on Fallon's face to Adele picking up a toy phone her talent shines so bright throughout this video. It's crazy how effortless this was for her.

"Slow Jam the News with President Obama."

This time next year this country will have a new president *sigh* but his successor won't be able to top this.

"History of Rap 6 with Justin Timberlake."

JT and JFall are the best of friends who both just happen to be incredibly talented. Their history of rap skit has six parts where each installment is somehow better than the previous video. These skits illustrate just a glimpse of their talent and perfect chemistry.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
