The Brangelina Divorce
International Business Times

The Brangelina split has spread like wildfire all over the internet. Jolie filed for a divorce from Pitt citing irreconcilable differences. They originally separated on September 15, only two years after marrying in 2014. They have both made statements kindly asking the ever-present media to stay away from their six children during this difficult time and respect everyone's privacy. Angelina is requesting physical custody of their children and visitation rights for Brad. There are also rumors about substance abuse and anger issues fueling the split, and Angelina's entertainment attorney says she made the decision "for the health of the family". Divorce is definitely a trying obstacle for everyone involved, and this one is no different; maybe worse than usual due to the persistent press spreading rumors and refusing to back down.

The couple had a tumultuous start to their relationship. They costarred in the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004 which sparked rumors of a relationship while Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston. Jennifer filed for a divorce from Brad in early 2005. Brad and Angelina denied infidelity, but Pitt admitted to falling in love during the making of the film. Pitt had only been married the one time, but Jolie had married and divorced twice before. After the Pitt and Aniston split, Brad became a legal parent to Angelina's two adopted children, Maddox and Zahara, and in 2006 she gave birth to their first biological child, Shiloh. They then adopted Pax from Vietnam in 2007, and had biological twins Knox and Vivienne in 2008. The two married in 2014 in a small, private ceremony at Chateau Miraval in the South of France.

Brangelina seemed to grow even stronger when Jolie went public about her health issues and decision to undergo a preventative double mastectomy. Pitt commented that his wife was his hero, and that period of time was "emotional and beautifully inspiring". When they were promoting their film By The Sea on the Today show they shared how the experience strengthened their bond with each other and their kids. Jolie wrote and directed the film about a couple in a troubled marriage, and she said that it did not reflect her and Pitt's relationship at all.

The pair's passion for philanthropy is commendable and has been admired for years by the whole world. They showed us what impact celebrities can do and made us wish that everyone did what they continue to do. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are still human beings who deal with the trials and tribulations of life. The best way to help their family cope with their situation is to stop spreading rumors and let them deal with their life.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
