6 Reasons We'll Never Forget Cory Monteith
vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net

When Cory Monteith died in 2013, “Glee” fans were devastated. Monteith was about to get married to his on and off screen girlfriend, Lea Michele, and he was about to start filming season five of “Glee.” Three years later, Monteith’s influence and character continue to impact fans everywhere. Here’s why he will never be forgotten.

1. He was kind to everyone.

Cory Monteith was an extremely kind person both on and off screen. On screen, he played Finn in “Glee.” Finn was a quarterback on the football team, but he wasn't a typical jock who picked on other people. Finn stood up for the outcasts even if his teammates made fun of him because of it. Off screen, he was kind to everyone. He was always willing to lend a hand or give advice to people when they needed it.

2. He was goofy.

Unlike many celebrities, Cory Monteith wasn't hellbent on having a perfect image. Monteith accepted his flaws and he even laughed about them. He wasn't afraid to call himself awkward or too tall. He even admitted that he was a bad dancer. However, that never stopped him from dancing.

3. He was great at giving advice.

Cory Monteith always knew the right thing to say. He was wise when it came to life lessons. He knew that the key to life was being kind and appreciating what you have. Monteith was aware that life is short and it shouldn't be taken for granted.

4. He was smart in his own way.

Being smart doesn't mean being perfectly accurate. People can be smart in their own ways and that was the case with Cory Monteith.

5. He was a great role model.

Everyone has their demons. Even with his, Cory was a great role model. On screen, his character Finn showed that it's not OK to bully other people, and that there is no real definition of cool. Finn proved that it's better to be who you really are rather than trying to be someone that you're not. He showed that being yourself is the key to happiness.

6. He truly loved his fans.

Cory Monteith really cared by bout his fans. He never said no to taking a picture with a fan or signing an autograph for them. He always made it a priority to show his fans how much he appreciated and loved them.

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.

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?
