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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?
