This October at the WCFF (Wildlife Conservation Film Festival) in New York, this short animation -https://vimeo.com/187564697 - was shown.

The video shows a number of endangered animals singing, “I Dreamed a Dream,” which is from the critically acclaimed musical, “Les Miserable.”

Seeing these animals sing about how their dreams for the future where forcefully torn from them by illegal poachers, is one of the most heart wrenching things I have ever seen.

I say that with the knowledge that though this video is a dramatization, these atrocities are still actually presently happening around the world.

The sad part is actually some of the animals depicted in the video are actually fair game. Countries like Norway, Iceland, and Japan actively participate, and endangered species like the fin whale, sperm whale, and sei whale are still killed and harvested for their meat despite, their endangered statues.

The point of the video becomes evident at the end, to not let the dream go extinct. It is important for us as inhabitants of the earth to maintain and nurture it. We all have a responsibility to help care for nature.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
