As of the time I am writing this, the next day will be August 26th. This is Edward Witten's 66th birthday. Although, this may be published after that. I would like to write this article to thank Dr.Witten for his many aspiring contributions to Theoretical Physics.

Now you may be wondering who is Edward Witten or why do I care? Since I was around 10, I was always a fan of Dr.Witten. I started getting more into his books though as a teenager. My fascination in physics started young from the time of watching PBS's NOVA.

Today, Edward Witten is the literally one of the greatest Theoretical Physicist of the 21st century. His work is what led to M-Theory and a much bigger understanding of the origins of superstring theory, as well as unifying research in fields such as Quantum Gravity and entanglement.

Being able to understand hyperbolic space and topology is cool, but it also entails more then what meets the eye. This can lead to greater advancements in fields such as AI, Quantum Computing, Energy Storage, Nanotechnology, among others. Many people see it as just an understanding of natural phenomena. However, the higher we understand, the more we can innovate further. Scientific inquiry can lead us towards a more technologically modern civilization.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"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 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.
