How do I get my money back if some of my paycheck was withheld for taxes even if I'm exempt?

I'm a student working a part-time job and I filled out the papers I needed to fill out in order to get paid, which included some tax papers where I claimed "Exempt." The problem is that I didn't write a "0" in a specific box and they withheld $20 from my paycheck. I do qualify for exemption but I just filled out the tax papers wrong. I went back and fixed the paperwork but, I was wondering, how do I get this money back? The woman at the Humanities Department told me to file for a tax refund in the spring semester but didn't go into details. How does this work? I know its not a lot of money, but for a college student, it actually is. Can anyone tell me what to do now?

How can I keep my cat inside?

My cat is a little under a year old. She's spayed but not declawed. I wouldn't have a problem with her being outside except for the fact that we live on a busy road and our neighbors have aggressive German Shepherds... Anyway. We have an automatic dog door for our two dogs that open automatically when they go near it because of sensors on their collars. Well, my cat has figured out that she can go out when the dogs go out. She usually goes out at night time and comes back around 3 in the morning. The problem with that is that everyone is asleep, so no one can let her in. I'm very worried about her. She's already gotten stuck in the neighbor's tree once and it took forever and a fireman to get her down. We've tried spraying her with water when she gets close to the door, but that doesn't work either. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks ahead of time.

What are some great, easy pranks on some guy-friends?

If they have cars then this one is gold . This one would also be best done at the school parking lot - if possible . It's simple : all you do is remove two of their hubcaps - one from either side of the car - and place a small rock or two inside . Replace the hubcap and be on your way...and be there when they do drive off.It will cause no damage at all but when the wheels start to move it will clang and bang in an embarrasing manner - and they won't know what it is. Once they DO figure it out then they have to go through the hle of removing ALL of their rims to find out if there are any others . It's gold - especially if you can do it on the same day to more than one of your friends.

What is the origin of the clown? Why do clowns typically wear oversized afros or bulbous noses? Is this racist?

I think it started back a long time ago with court jesters. Or before then. The purpose was to entertain the king or queen. Clowns have big noses and wild hair and this is to appear funny. Has not the slightest thing to do with racism
