7 Lessons I Learned From '50 Shades Freed'

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!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
