The Importance Of Chewbacca Mom

Candace "Chewbacca Mom" Payne, one of the most recent videos to go viral, has made millions of people laugh. But this video is more than just a hilarious viral video. To some it may just be a video but to me there are some underlying messages that we should all support.

1) Embrace the little joys in life.

Candace bought the Chewbacca mask at Kohl's as part of her "birthday joy." Once she put on that mask and started laughing though, it was clear how pure her joy was. So maybe we should all find the things in life that bring us joy and embrace them.

2. "Treat yo self."

The phrase coined by Donna Meagle and Tom Haverford from "Parks and Rec," this mask is clearly a treat for herself. As said before, Candace purchased it for her "birthday joy." This purchase was definitely her treating herself. Now I'm not saying we should treat ourselves constantly, but every once in awhile, indulge in yourself. You won't regret it... unless you let the treating get out of hand.

3. Don't care what people think.

In the video Candace happily states that she wanted to share the news of her purchase with the people of the internet. Also she noticed people in the parking lot watching her as she filmed the video. But not once did the thought of what people were thinking of her stop her from the excited laugh attack. She did not let the judgement of society hold her back from true happiness.

So be like Chewbacca Mom and embrace the little joys in life, treat yo self, and try to not care what people think. Hopefully we can all be our own versions of "I'm such a happy Chewbacca".

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.
