When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
[…]
Success is failure turned inside out –
The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Columbia University Accidentally Sends Acceptance Letters to 277 Students
There's nothing worse than waiting months to hear back from your dream school only to get rejected. But imagine receiving an acceptance email and telling all your friends, family and followers the amazing news, only to find out that you didn't actually get accepted.
That's what happened to over 200 grad students who applied to the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. According to the New York Times, 277 students mistakingly received acceptance emails and it wasn't until over an hour later that the school sent out a second email informing them of the mixup, and that they, in fact, had not been accepted.
In the follow-up email from the vice dean for education, the university apologized for the mistake, blaming "human error".

Jimi Hendrix introduced himself _______ the world in December 1966, when he turned "Hey Joe", a Los Angeles garage rock standard ______ had been a hit for the Leaves, into a murder ballad with some wild guitar pyrotechnics. _______ quickly followed it up with the self-composed "Purple Haze", a psychedelic stomper showcasing the devil's chords (the flatted fifths of the intro were known ________ medieval times as the diabolus de musica and strictly interdict). As monumental and monolithic as "Purple Haze" ________, 51st Anniversary on the B-side is more nuanced and sassier.
