9 Reasons You Should See Me Before You

"Me Before You," the book that has taken the world by storm. The book by Jojo Moyes is now a motion picture. Many fans are going out to purchase the book due to the movie and for a good reason. Here are a few reasons you should see "Me Before You."

1. Our old friend Finnick Odair is taking a break from the "The Hunger Games."

Sam Claflin is taking a break from his role in "The Hunger Games" and stepping into a new role as Will Traynor. He's taking on a new role that is quite different from the courageous one in "The Hunger Games."

2. Our other friend Emilia Clarke is taking a break from being Khaleesi in "Game of Thrones."

Her hair isn't the only thing that has changed in her role in Me Before You. Emilia Clarke steps into the role of Lou Clark to take on a role that is no longer that of a queen. She is an energetic, positive, awkward girl just trying to make it by.

3. This love story is not your typical love story.

Neither Lou or Will live a luxurious lifestyle. Lou finds herself unemployed and Will is a quadriplegic man. This doesn't stop them from finding adventure and love along the way.

4. If you want to cry, this movie is for you.

This movie is a tearjerker friends. Most love stories are, but this one is bound to tear right at your heart strings. It's not like most sad movies you've seen. This one is a little different. This is a friendly reminder to bring kleenex.

5. It sheds light on those living with disabilities.

Will Traynor is a man who is a quadriplegic in Me Before You. This movie sheds light on those living with this kind of disability. We get to see into the daily life of someone living as a quadriplegic.

6. It will make you want to buy the book.

Though there are some differences between the movie and the book, this movie will have you running to the bookstore. You'll want to read the love story you just watched unfold on the big screen.

7. It is the chick flick of the summer.

It is a funny, romantic, morally complex, and emotional movie. What more could you want in a chick flick?

8. It is full of adventure.

Scuba diving isn't the only fun adventure this couple takes part in. This movie is full of embracing life on at full force and enjoying every moment of it.

9. It's not only going to make you cry, but it will give you a good laugh as well.

Basically this movie is an emotional rollercoaster. Though paralysis is not a matter that should be joked about, "Me Before You" gets a lot of laughs out of the tension between Will Traynor and Lou Clark while she has to learn on the job.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
