Reasons we love Orlando

Reviving the Early 2000s Heartthrob: Orlando Bloom

In honor of the final "Hobbit" movie premiering a few weeks ago, I thought it would be appropriate to write my article on Orlando Bloom, or Legolas Greenleaf.  The long-haired immortal elf does not appear in "The Hobbit" novel, but director Peter Jackson decided to add him into the movies, making them more direct prequels to The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Most famously known for his role as Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy and Will Turner in "The Pirates of the Caribbean" in the early 2000s, Orlando Bloom has again been thrust into the starlight through his role in "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" and "The Battle of Five Armies." Because of his immense success playing these roles, Bloom should be casted for other Hollywood blockbusters.

Why we want to see more Orlando: 

1. His killer British accent. One word: sexy. 

2. His chiseled jaw and flawless face, duh. 

3. His role as two extremely badass characters, Legolas and Will Turner. 

4. He does most of his own stunts, and even broke some of his ribs while jumping onto a horse while playing Legolas. He refrains from using a stunt double despite having broken his back from falling three stories from a terrace in his teens. 

5. While filming "Kingdom of Heaven" in Morocco, he rescued and adopted a stray dog, which is now his pet named “Sidi.” 

6. He is an environmental activist and been a part of Global Green since the early 2000s. Solar energy powers his London house that is made mostly with recycled materials. 

7. He has been named a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. He has visited Nepal on multiple occasions to help in education and sanitations programs. 

8. He is a practicing Buddhist. That’s not awesome or anything… 

9. He received the 2,521st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Much deserved.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
