Tinder. We all know how it works— you swipe left if you're not interested, you swipe right if you want to pursue a little further. Everyone has their own specific guidelines for swiping either direction, usually, such as dogs in the profile pictures (the most important), good looks, funny jokes in their bio, and so on.

Recently, a little misstep has caused quite the stir on Missouri State's campus, and now worldwide. Hayden Moll, a student on campus, had the great misfortune of accidentally swiping left on a certain girl's profile when he, in fact, meant to swipe right.

Most people would probably be pretty distraught, but they'd eventually just shrug and say "Oh well," and keep on scrolling through profiles. However, that was not the case with Hayden. He still knew her name, which was Claudia.

Hayden sent out a mass email to every single girl named Claudia at Missouri State University, a school of over 26,000 students total.

Yeah.

The girl received the email.

Watching it unfold seemed to be something of a modern-day Cinderella story, where Prince Charming, instead of trying a glass slipper on every woman's foot, sent out a mass email to a specific fraction of the entire student body because of a Tinder mistake.

Claudia has yet to publicly confirm or deny the events that followed the two crossing paths, such as whether or not Hayden shooting his shot on quite the ballsy level paid off for him. However, it's safe to say his reputation won't be forgotten anytime soon, so he has embraced it.

The tweet Claudia tweeted about Hayden's email has gone viral, resulting in over 22,000 retweets, 100,000 likes, and has been covered by numerous outlets from Total Frat Move to Catfish MTV's twitter to Barstool Sports.

Maybe if more guys took after Hayden's determination to shoot his shot, regardless of the outcome, more guys would find their own Tinderella and live happily ever after.

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.
