11 reasons to be thankful that Wikipedia exists

It’s the website’s fifteenth birthday today.

AH, WIKIPEDIA. The online encyclopedia turns 15 today and we are so thankful every day that it exists.

1. It basically earned us our college degrees

Copy, paste, reword, cite source in Wiki sources. Degree.

Without Wikipedia, you’d have to go to the library like some ancient fossil. IMAGINE.

2. How else could we read up on everything we ever wanted to know after watching a movie?
