There's A Man In The Woods is a short film written in verse about a school teacher, his young students, and a man in the woods who may or may not be fictional. While written to be entertaining and creepy, the short film does an amazing job of commenting on today's school society and how children are raised.

The film follows a school teacher and a group of students, one of which started a rumor about a man in the woods. The other students were so terrified they refused to go outside and play. At one point the parents get involved. The school teacher tells the parents that one of the students lied and there is no man in the woods. The teacher is terminated with a sick twist that you can only find out by watching the film (available on YouTube).

The film shows just how willing parents are to paint their children as angels and anyone who says otherwise is a terrible liar and should be punished. It also shows that children can be cruel and that insanity can lead a good person to do bad things.

The film is approximately 3 and a half minutes long and full of entertainment throughout and the twist will leave you shocked and thoroughly freaked out.

CalArts Character Animation and Student Films does a lovely job animating the short film, the transitions are smooth and the style lends a helping hand to the creepy atmosphere.

All in all the video is a 10.

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.
