Clowns, Not Just a Entertainer Anymore?

Clowns are making a comeback, and not a silly one.

Clowns, Not Just a Entertainer Anymore?
Hollywood Life

In the last few weeks, there have been major reports of clown sightings all throughout the nation. Whether or not these clowns were dangerous was a question that is still waiting to be answered. It all started in South Carolina, kids were saying that clowns were trying to lure them into the darkness of the woods. To do what you ask? Nobody really knows.

In most recent news, the clowns have been making their way to college campuses. Being from Syracuse, New York I have already heard many stories coming from Syracuse University, SUNY Cortland, and SUNY Brockport.

I've recently been looking up on what is going on with these clowns, and what their derogative is. According to a recent CNN article, there are about six or seven theories as to why this is going on, not just in New York, but in the entire country. Even the king of horror Stephen King is saying this is a bit over the top.

As far as I have heard, no one from the three colleges listed above has been hurt, which is good to hear. Fortunately, Syracuse University has put out a "do's and don'ts list" in response to getting calls of clowns around campus. This list does not just apply to SU, anyone can go and read it and keep it as a reference.

Moral of the story: Do not dress up as a clown for Halloween, read up on what your community is doing to take action against this odd phenomenon, and how you can keep you and your family safe.

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.
