user27731: I'm trying to print messages to the serial monitor, and all I get is some unreadable format.
Looping Serial.println("Wait...!"); gives me the following results: 
ö’ö’ƒÕ•¬­ƒ´¼Õƒö­“ƒ²ƒƒƒ¬‘¼¬Õ”’­­“ƒ¬•

Why is it unreadable, and how do I make it print a readable format?

user27157: This "weird" result usualy happens when you select then wrong baud rate or a different one then the one you beginned the serial communication with in the program. Thus by using Serial.begin(9600);, you have to make sure that the serial monitor is actually set to a baud rate of 9600.
