The Mandela Effect

Are you convinced, or are we all just crazy?

If you're obsessed with conspiracy theories as much as I am, then you definitely know about the Mandela Effect. There's an entire website dedicated to this theory that is so worth checking out: Mandelaeffect.com/. For those of you who don't know, it's this idea that many, many people have a specific memory of something that either didn't happen or is not exactly how things were. The theory started with the death of Nelson Mandela, a South African president. Thousands of people remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison and they remember watching his funeral and watching riots from his death on TV. It is a common memory of people, but in reality, he did not die until 2013 (as you will see in my quiz below).

Obviously, there are more logical explanations for things, but at the same, there aren't. How can people, who have never met before, recall things like 9/11 actually happening on September 10th. Or, many people have thought that famous actor Betty White has passed, when in reality she is still alive and well. I have attached a quiz that I made to see how many questions you can get right — what do you remember?

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
