7 Lessons I Learned From '50 Shades Freed'

Youtube

After seeing the final installment of the "50 Shades" franchise, "50 Shades Freed", and this time dragging my boyfriend along with me, I've learned a lot after seeing all three movies. Of course each offers an array of sexual dimensions, but I also took away a few applicable tidbits after watching the third film.

1. Money solves problems

Of course money can't physically buy happiness, but it can make life a heck of a lot easier. Like when Ana finds herself needing five million dollars in two hours, she has no problem writing a check and getting the money-- what a generous husband!

2. A personal body guard wouldn't be all bad

At times having someone around 24/7 would be annoying, but having someone to be able to defend you when your apartment gets broken into would be pretty awesome. Or just someone to drive you around and carry your lattes or grocery bags.

3. Having a private jet would be AWESOME

Obviously having your own plane is not on everyone's shopping list, BUT if you ever did have the opportunity to get one SIEZE it. Seeing Ana and Christian jet off to numerous paradise locations really got me thinking about creating a separate savings account... for my future private jet.

4. Classy clothes can be desirable

Ana always looked classy in her pencil skirt and blouse, and Christian never seemed to mind. Girls don't have to wear revealing clothing to get a guys attention!

5. Guys like a good sappy love story

Going into the movie my boyfriend thought he'd be laughing through the whole thing, but afterwards he admitted to thinking how cute Christian and Ana are. Girls, drag your man to see it, whether they believe it or not, they'll like it!

6. Hold your loved ones close

When Ana (and her baby) almost had a near death experience my heart sank. It really emphasized how short life is and even when things don't go how you plan them, everything will work out when you surround yourself by those you love.

7. A good movie can be impactful

Becoming emotionally attached to an on screen couple is a real thing! You can't help but compare your life to the one in the film and how they can correlate. Learning a thing or two from a good movie can be beneficial!

Or at least try to do.

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.

Oh, so done.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
