May Vine rest in peace.

In Loving Memory: Ten Iconic Vines
Book More Brides

This past Thursday, Twitter made an announcement that left many internet users with a bad taste in their mouth-- they would be discontinuing the once wildly popular social media app, Vine. What used to be a powerhouse of memes, internet celebrities and bizarre musical remixes will soon become a distant memory, the MySpace of the current era. While there were a number of reasons cited for Twitter's decision to kill Vine, it's important to look back and see what made the short-form video app so popular.


Look at All Those Chickens!


Because let's be real. What's more adorable than this mis-classification of winged bird?

A Potato Flew Around My Room Before You Came


A Vine classic, this cover gave Frank Ocean himself a run for his money. Probably.

Back at it Again at Krispy Kreme


What originally appeared to be a feat of gymnastics ended in tragedy and destruction of private property. That's rough, buddy.

I'm In me Mum's Car (Broom, Broom)


It's easy to see what made this video blow up-- so much meme-able material in such a condensed timeperiod, from the singsong way "I'm in me mum's car" is delivered, to the strong accent in the mother's reply-- "Get out me car!"

Aww.

"Two Shots" of Vodka (feat. Cookie Monster)


I can't help but collapse into a heap of uncontrollable laughter every time Cookie Monster unceremoniously collapses against the dishwasher. It's a problem.

Girl, You're Thicker than a Bowl of Oatmeal


I'm with the convict on this one-- not sure where she came up with that, but pretty effective nonetheless.

This Dramatic Turnaround


This is one of those Vines that just seems to get increasingly better and funnier every single loop.

What Are Those?


The Vine That Launched A Thousand Memes, this six-second video is a perfect showcase on just how easily the internet can turn anything into a meme.

Deez Nuts


A vine that went so viral the star decided to run for president- causing a new policy to be created preventing satirical candidates to run for office in the future- this simple, bizarre vine accumulated a countless number of loops and was frequently quoted all over the world for months after its going viral.

The Solution to 9+10


One of the most iconic vines of all time, even spawning a runaway hoax, this meme is easily the most frequently-cited math problem I heard throughout my junior year of high school.


RIP Vine: 2013-2016


Thanks for the memories.

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.
