For most people, the college years are the best and most memorable years of their life. They represent the time of our youth and a period in which we make friends for life. The end of that incredible life journey culminates with a graduation ceremony, when we see some of the people we shared a classroom with for the last time in our life.
One may say that these ceremonies are somehow dull, because students’ names are called out and excited family members are there to applaud, but with the coronavirus pandemic that affected the entire world, we understand that we shouldn’t ever take things for granted, not even the graduation ceremonies, which this year’s students won’t be able to attend.

The ceremony from the video below took place last year and it is probably the best you have ever seen. Around 400 students danced in perfect harmony to the delight of everyone witnessing their performance.
These students at Holy Trinity College of General Santos City Senior High School in South Cotabato, Philippines will definitely make your day.

Apparently, the choreography was done by one of the teachers, Jeatrin Oro, and the students learned it in just two weeks time, pretty impressive I’d say.
The song they danced to is We’re in This Together from High School Musical. They also sang A Million Dreams from the 2018 movie The Greatest Showman.

Dressed in green capes, they stole the hearts of millions of people who stumbled upon the video. In fact, it was shared by one of the students, Ric Sherwin Versoza, who said, “We enjoyed it a lot but also at the same time, [it was] sad for it is also our last dance… And the last time we’ll be seeing each other.”
Some of the comments by the viewers were: “Y’all I went to the W R O N G school,” and “That…was the most impressive thing I HAVE EVER SEEN DONE AT GRADUATION.”

This is definitely worth watching. Check it out below.
When a series is on for a longer period of time, fans feel like the characters they see on TV every day become someone they know personally. So, when such a show is over, we feel sorry and as though we were forced to say that final goodbye without ever wanting to.
Bonanza aired for 13 and a half years and is still considered one of the best TV shows ever made. People not only from the States but from the whole world were eagerly waiting for each episode to air. The Cartwrights, father Ben and his three sons, Little Joe, Adam and Hoss, were our everyday heroes who faced many difficulties as they ran their large Ponderosa ranch while always helping their neighbors.

The show was extremely popular, so when it was canceled after 14 seasons, both the cast and the millions of fans were left in shock.
The actors who helped shape the show in what it was and what it represented, Dan Blocker, Michael Landon, Lorne Greene, Pernell Roberts, David Canary, Bill Clark and Mitch Vogel among the rest, were all huge stars. While Robers left the show in 1965, calling it a “Junk TV” and later regretting his words, the rest of the characters remained with the show until its very end.

The sudden death of actor Dan Blocker seemed to be one of the main reasons why producers and directors decided it was enough. The loss of Blocker was a shock for his fellow friends. They found it hard to return to filming knowing their Hoss was no longer there.
“After Dan’s death, I didn’t see how the show could continue,” Lorne Greene told TV Guide following Dan Blocker’s passing. “I said to my wife, ‘That’s it. It’s finished.’ I know Michael Landon felt the same way.”
YouTube
Landon had a hard time accepting that Blocker was forever gone.
“The first day we went back to work was just incredible, it was so bad,” he said.
“Everybody was just trying to force good humor, because here we were, back in the same place again. Fortunately, we stayed out of the dining room that day. We’ve had so many laughs in that dining room over the last 13 years, and that’s where Dan and Lorne and I did most of our horsing around.”

The final season was very emotional because Hoss was no longer there.
When the news that Bonanza was canceled spread around, LA Times reporter Gregg Kilday wrote:
“Last Monday morning, a stranger rode into town. A man out of the East in the hire of the National Broadcasting Co. It was his job to inform the cast and crew of “Bonanza” that their series had been canceled in midyear. After 13 1/2 years of riding the high country of the Ponderosa, the Cartwright family had finally been gunned down.”
“It was a businesslike farewell as the actors and crew went through the familiar motions of piecing together yet another conflict in the troubled history of “Bonanza’s” Virginia City.”
Speaking of the end of the series that marked an era, Lorne Green said, “If we had known this was coming we would have gone out with a bang and not a whimper.”
One thing is certain, Bonanza, the longest running series with 431 episodes, was and still is loved and watched by many.
Christmas truly is the most beautiful period of the year. For some people, it’s the only time they get to spend with their family and friends. And as much as it sparks joy and happiness, it also brings a sense of nostalgia and sadness for those we lost.
One of the best musicians ever, spectacular Neil Diamond, wrote a touching song about those whose presence we miss dearly during the holidays. It is a very special tribute which millions of people fell for.
The lyrics of the song Christmas Prayers, which was part of his album Acoustic Christmas, speak that the greatest gift there is are our loved ones and how those who left this world are always in our Christmas prayers and looking down on us smiling.
“The loved ones far and near Will be forever there It’s Christmas up in Heaven too With love beyond compare.”
YouTube
The moment the music starts, we see old photos in the background, showing the good old times, when the whole family was complete and shared the holiday joy.
This song tugs at the heartstrings and has the power to overcome everyone with emotions.
“Thank you Neil. Heard this song when I needed it the most,” one person wrote. If you haven’t heard it already, press play and enjoy. This truly is one of the best Christmas songs I have ever heard.
One family did the most amazing thing for the daughter they recently adopted and reminded each of us what the holidays are really all about, and that’s making those around us happy.
The daddy shared the video of the awesome surprise with the world, but he could never imagine that it will go viral and that millions of people would witness this incredible Christmas story.
YouTube
Like every other year, the family got everything ready for the most wonderful time of the year. There was a huge tree decorated with lovely ornaments and ribbons placed in the room, stockings hanging over the fireplace, and some perfectly wrapped gifts for each family member.
However, the gift for the daughter the family welcomed into their home just recently was a bit different than that of the rest. It was huge, actually, and it was a real mystery what it could be. None of the kids had any idea what was inside and they were all eagerly waiting to unwrap it.
YouTube
The kids started tearing the bow and the paper as they figured out the present wasn’t only huge, but also heavy. At that moment they didn’t really know whether they should tug, pull, or continue unwrapping it.
That’s when the daddy stepped in and simply lift the box up into the air and now everyone could see not what, but who was hiding underneath.
The girl started screaming in excitement. It was indeed a heartwarming moment when she saw her foster sister. It turned out that when the family went to take their daughter from the foster home, there was another girl living there. The girls shared a foster family and grew fond of each other.
The new family knew how much their daughter missed her foster sister that they decided to reunite them. And as everyone was super excited for the encounter they still didn’t know that the best was yet to come.
The family actually adopted this other girl too. That meant the girls were now real sisters.
YouTube
Take a look at the video that will definitely melt your heart.
Most kids can’t wait for Christmas to come because they know it’s the time of the year when they get the presents they love so much. Parents on the other hand are eager to see what their little ones want Santa to bring them, and they hope it’s not something they can’t afford.
The best part of the Christmas’ lists, however, are the fantasy wishes of some of the kids. Who knows, maybe in their tiny worlds unicorns do exist, so asking for one comes as something normal.
One dad shared his 10-year-old daughter’s lavish Christmas list and it had the world in stitches. Well, at least sweet Drew thinks her daddy is the richest man out there.
He first shared it on Twitter, writing: “My 10-year-old daughter must be out of her mind with this Christmas list.”
Once people read it, they found it so cool and bold that it was soon shared thousands of times.
He then took to Instagram and posted the list with the following caption:
“My soon to be 10 year old daughter clearly has a false sense of funds that we have with this Christmas list. But kudos to her for her expensive taste 😂😂 #MoneyBagDrew #IAintGotIt“
Gucci slides and a Channel Purse? Really? Her taste is pretty expensive for such a young girl, don’t you think so?
An iPhone 11 Airpods A new MacBook air A real bunny A HydroFlask Clothes Make-up Pink Pumas Gucci slides A Chanel purse Perfume Essential oil An American Girl doll car New shoes Earrings/jewelry Some checkered Vans A Go Pro Pink Duct tape Blue food coloring and laundry detergent Clothes for the bunny 4,000 dollars An L.o.l doll camper L.o.l dolls/Big sister An L.o.l doll chalet New sheets and cover An alarm clock
Drew’s handwriting is as cute as her fantasy and everyone loves it. Misspelling “Chanel purs” doesn’t mean she won’t get one when she gets old enough to spend her own money on designer clothes.
However, there are still things on the list that are reasonable and Drew is definitely getting some of them.
“Yes, sure, she will get some or more of the more reasonable things,” her father told TIME.
People who stumbled upon his post couldn’t help but comment on it.
As though the stuff listed isn’t ‘too much’ to ask for, Drew would also love some cash. According to what she has written down, $4,000 would be fine.
But people got creative and assured dad that the money thing is definitely a yes, yes as he could give her Jamaican Dollars instead.
After Drew’s lavish Christmas list vent viral, moms and dads shared their kids’ lists, and it’s so sweet to witness such young souls still having no idea how things work and how expensive their wishes might be.
As for Drew, we hope she won’t get disappointed after she won’t see her presents down the tree. At least she’s getting some of them as some companies decided to send her gifts after they have seen her list.
“Dicks and Hydro Flask have offered to send her an item off of the list,” her dad said.
We wish Drew and her family the best time ever during the holidays, because that’s what Christmas is all about and that’s what really matters.
Veteran Justin Anderson is not your ordinary neighbor. This man is one of the most selfless and most caring people you will ever meet. Despite the personal tragedies he had gone through, he still found a way to show his kindness to those who were there for him during his hardest of times.
Namely, Anderson served in Iraq where he lost his legs. His neighbors were there for him to help him overcome the pain and put his past behind. Today, he is moving around using a wheelchair which also serves as a snowplow. He custom-built it with a snow blade and inserted off-road-friendly wheels.
YouTube
When snowstorms hit and everything is covered in snow, Anderson spends hours plowing it off the sidewalks thus making it easier for people to walk. He wants to keep the members of his community safe and all the people living nearby appreciate everything Anderson does for them.
Take a look at this incredible story in the video below and share it with your friends, you may inspire someone to make a good deed before Christmas.
We can never have enough of the Christmas carols that cheer us while we wait in anticipation for the holiday to knock on our doors and fill our houses with warmth. And while there are countless performances praising the Lord, none can bring so much laughter as the one of this quartet of boys singing in church.
They are all dressed up, ready to lift the Christmas spirit to the highest level and remind everyone present what the holiday is really all about, and that’s God, love, and having a bit of fun along the way.
The gospel they are about to sing is nothing like anything you’ve seen and a bit different from what the church congregation believes it should be. But it’s definitely unique and hard to forget.
The moment they let ‘their voices,’ the people understand it would be a once-in-a-lifetime performance and are eager to hear more.
They all do their best to make the performance more enjoyable, but as soon as the boy with the vest takes the spotlight, the atmosphere heats up and the real show begins. At this point no one can’t hold back their laughter.
They brought into the church a whole new mood and the people in the background lined up as ornaments on a Christmas tree only add to the overall experience.
These boys definitely know how to cheer their audience. The video of what people consider to be absolutely amazing has been seen more than six million times. The ‘comedic’ performance got the appraisal of many. One person says, “I am sure that Jesus and all of heaven was laughing when these guys performed,” and another person adds, “I really needed this laugh! Well done. God Bless these young men!”
What a wonderful show to put on stage; a clean humor that will definitely make your day.
Are you ready for some good laugh? If yes, just see the amazing gospel quartet in the video below.
When we go back to the iconic show Full House, we can’t help by think of the twins who made full careers out of it, the Olsen sisters. However, there was another set of twins who made the series what it turned out to be, one of the best and much-loved shows on TV ever. Those twins are brothers Dylan Tuomy-Wilhoit and Blake Tuomy-Wilhoit who played the roles of Nicky and Alex, the sons of Uncle Jesse (John Stamous) and Aunt Becky (Lori Loughlin).

Full House won a number of awards, including four straight ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards and four consecutive BMI Film & TV Awards. It ran for eight seasons and gained more and more popularity with each re-run. People enjoyed this show so much that back in 2016, Netflix created a sequel, Fuller House, which to the delight of the audiences from all over the world reunited most of the cast.
Dylan and Blake were just two years old when they were cast for the show. They were part of it until it ended in 1995 and neither of them continued their career on film. However, when they returned for Fuller House, fans loved how the little twins grew into very handsome men who are now extremely successful at what they do, with Dylan winning three Emmy Awards for his post-production work for Game of Thrones and Black Sails. He’s also worked for Death Note, Jack Ryan, and Castle Rock.
The twins were said to love being on set when they were still just toddlers. However, due to child labor laws, they were not allowed to film long hours so according to them, they would only spend a couple of hours filming each day. But that, however, was more than enough for the fans and the cast to fall for them.
Speaking about Nicky and Alex at the time, Lori Loughlin told ET, “They’re definitely very independent. They do what they want to do, if you asked them to say a line or do something and they don’t want to, they won’t say their line.”

The twins were way too young to know the impact Full House had on people back then. But once they grew older and told people who they were, they realized the popularity of the show as there was not a single person who wasn’t addicted to the classic sitcom.
“I’ve even had people sending me fan mail when I was a teenager saying like ’this show saved my life, I’ve had this really crappy situation’,” Blake said in an interview. “That the full house family became their family and I thought ‘wow’. It’s a very wholesome show and I didn’t know it impacted people the way it did. It feels very rewarding to me to have been part of that, I’m very proud of it.”
Both twins are in the “family business” of audio engineering today. In fact, they followed into their dad’s footsteps and are very successful at what they do. Dylan started working along his dad Jeffrey right away, while Blake first worked as a firefighter for four years. He loved all about his job, except it prevented him to be close to his family, so he quit and moved back to California.
“Music and Sound Effects are such a vital part of creating these other worlds and experiences for people, and I am proud and excited to be a part of that,” Dylan told Trainwreck’d Society.
“When people come up to me excited, saying ‘oh my god that episode was amazing! How did you make that scene sound so real?! I almost puked when that guy’s head exploded!’ Making people FEEL through sound… those are the rewarding moments of my job.”

In Fuller House, the twins appeared in just two episodes and played food truck owners selling fish tacos and sleeping in their truck, to the delight of their on-screen father Jesse.
According to their Instagram accounts, the family suffered a tragedy in October of this year when their mother passed away at the age of 59.
We are glad these handsome twins are doing great and we wish them even more success in the years to come.
