Scientists Discover Proof Of The Unicorn's Existence

Sure it's not as pretty, but it was there!

Recently I was scrolling through eons of ridiculous articles on politicians, celebrities, and various world crises when I came across an article of true worth: proof of a unicorn’s very existence.

Dare I say, I’ve never been more excited in my life.

We’re always waiting on these sort of happenings to occur, for scientists to uncover the fossilized body of a mermaid or for evidence of Bigfoot’s presence to finally surface. Naturally, I had to look more into this, as there is always a catch.

It is true, that the Siberian unicorn or Elasmotherium sibiricum existed on our own Earth many, many years ago. However, it's rather majestic reputation is a myth; the Siberian unicorn was covered in hair reminiscent of a mammoth and it's notoriously sleek lean body more so resembled that of a rhinoceros’. However, the mighty ethereal horn remains! ScienceAlert described it as “a fuzzy rhinoceros with one long, slender horn protruding from its face.” Even with its brawny stature, it most likely only consumed grasses. Still cute, I’d think!

Up until now, scientists believed the Siberian unicorn had not walked this Earth in 350,000 years. A recent discovery of a unicorn’s fossilized skull proved that, somehow, the unicorn was still around only 29,000 years ago. What makes it so magical is that this singular unicorn had somehow outlasted the rest of its species, which supposedly died out hundreds of thousands of years earlier. Scientists are still looking into logical reasoning behind this, but we all know it’s because unicorns are simply magical.

What I propose, most indecently, is that we use the DNA of the Siberian unicorn to breed with that of a horse. After many generations, we will have ourselves a pretty modest unicorn. Of course, this idea proves that I am no scientist.

You can read more about the ancient furry unicorn at U.S. News and ScienceAlert as well as the American Journal of Applied Science for a much more in-depth analysis.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
