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.

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?
