5 Films Leonardo DiCaprio Should Have Won An Oscar For Before
The Telegraph

He's dreamy, successful, and super talented. His name is Leonardo DiCaprio and his acting is nothing short of amazing. After acting in over 35 films, the handsome DiCaprio has only won an Oscar once, which should have been given to him long before now, but unfortunately, was overlooked and given to someone else. So here are five films DiCaprio should have won an Oscar for before now.

1. Titanic

DiCaprio was just a young 22-year-old at this time and still had women well into their forty's wishing they could be Rose on a gorgeous ship that was soon to sink. His kindness and charm ultimately stole the screen and of course, made us want to cry for a lifetime by the end of the film.

2. Wolf of Wall Street

If you didn't think he had it in him, you might want to think again. This film is definitely not a family-friendly film but since it is DiCaprio portraying the notorious Jordan Belfort you find yourself having a small love for the mischievous, cheating, drug addict that stole millions.

3. Catch Me If You Can

If you ever thought a child would have a tough time after a divorce sit down and watch this movie. DiCaprio once again charms our hearts while he is portraying an awful person.

4. What's Eating Gilbert Grape

Even without being the main star he is still talked most about in the movie. Portraying a mentally impaired boy, DiCaprio nailed the role so incredibly well we forgot who we were watching.

5. Django Unchained

As sweet and charming as DiCaprio is we can never see him playing the role of a slave owner but hey, it's called acting for a reason, and we're supposed to believe the actor is who they are portraying, only if they are that good. DiCaprio, of course, is that good and completely nailed the role so well I even started to hate his character, which never happens while watching a DiCaprio movie.

Although his Oscar is well overdue I must say I was screaming for joy when I witnessed him win. DiCaprio has stolen the hearts of millions with his charm and is looked up to by many aspiring actors who hope to be as good as he is on screen one day. Let's keep making movies great Leo!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
