5 Reasons You Should See "Beauty and the Beast"

After bringing in a whopping 170 million dollars this past weekend, Beauty and the Beast has become one of the most talked about live-action remakes Disney has made. And here's why:

1. The aesthetic.

Despite some complaints about the CGI being too distracting, the animation doesn't take away from the film, but rather, adds to it. Between the talking cups, moving piano and singing wardrobe, every cinematic choice was breathtaking. In conjunction with the CGI, the costuming also deserved a 10/10.

2. The cast.

I know there has been some complaints about having another white washed cast, about the quality of the singing, and about the recent announcement of having Disney's "first" gay character on screen, but that aside, the casting is great. Each cast member brings something to their character. And I mean, have you seen them?

3. The answers.

While many plot holes have been pointed out in the original film, this adaptation seeks to answer all of the issues the first film had. Get ready to have some grand realizations; they fit neatly into the story line and really add to the plot, as well as character development.

4. The music.

I feel like everyone has been complaining about the musical adaptations that were created for this film, but in all honesty, it wasn't that bad. Luke Evans was perfect in Gaston's numbers, and Dan Stevens' rendition of Forevermore will have you in tears.

5. The nostalgia.

Because why shouldn't you go see it? It's a tale as old as time.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
