Hugh Grant is life.

10 Times "Love Actually" Makes Your Heart Soar

Any of my friends can tell you that Love Actually is my all-time favorite movie and thus I have no qualms dubbing it The Greatest Movie of All Time. Love Actually is a holiday staple but it's so much more than that. Keep reading to remember why this movie is so fantastic.

1) This new-age Christmas classic:

Billy knows you feel it in your fingers AND in your toes and you won't stop humming it for days.

2) When Hugh Grant dances like this:

And like this.

And like this.

Don't actually really know what else you need. Instant smile right here.

3) This swoon-worthy confession:

Now this one is a little controversial. While it's one of the most romantic scenes of the entire movie (and the scene always makes my eyes well up), it's really, really unrealistic. How many guys actually do this? I'm going to go with zero. But try to keep your cynicism in check because this scene is really too lovely to waste with a barrage of questions. Just live in the moment. It's Christmas.

4) This touching relationship that shows true love defies all language barriers:

We'll probably never know how Colin Firth makes bumbling and thick sweaters so endearing. But whether he's speaking English or Portuguese we're still in love. 

5) Anything that comes out of this little guy's mouth:

Cute kid? Check. British accent? Check. Ridiculous insight about both love and how the world works? Check and check.

6) The wedding surprise:

Really though, all you need is love.

7) The train-wreck that is Colin Frissell

He's off to "a fantastic place called Wisconsin" to find girls who dig his "cute British accent." The guy is so totally clueless you can't help but be a little happy for him in the end.

8) The Prime Minister's Epic Speech: 

You're filled with so much British pride you almost forget you don't live in England. Go David! Stand up to that greedy American pig! Oh wait...

9) This less than private confession of love:

But they had to make it to the play! Her Mum had been working on the costume for months. "Eight is a lot of legs, David."

10) The opening and closing scenes of reunions at the airport and the Prime Minister's voice over:

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere." 

"Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
