Do you remember some events in history that did not affect college students at all?


1. When the dinosaur age failed to impact our lives

Even though the Paleolithic Age was a long time ago and it created much of the world today, we still have no record of what it has done for our current lives.

2. The moment when Gandhi was discriminating against South Africans

I know how much we all appreciate Mahatma Gandhi. However, our favorite Gandhi believed that other people were inferior to Caucasian people.

3. When both World War 1 and 2 did more to seal the world than break it

Those bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and those wars with Eastern Europe created a more unified eastern and western relation today. That being said, Putin is NOT part of the example.

4. The time Barack Obama left Trump in duty

Our favorite President has to leave us. With that said, he leaves a racist and dominating Republican in charge of controlling the White House and the nation's politics. Go America!

5. When the #MeToo movement led to gun control uproar

Many protest marches have been going on against sexist acts in the country. In order to expose the harsh reality behind sexual assaults and violence against women, American ladies have tried to expose men for there own wrong doings. As a result, kids have begun protesting against gun violence in schools. Kids have taken charge of politics.

Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
