Dear Jesse Eisenberg,

I don't know if anyone has told you this lately, but you're amazing. Not like the typical "oh my gosh, you're so hot" amazing, but the "wow you're so incredibly smart, intelligent and genuine" kind of amazing (you're good looking too, don't worry). I have always been a big fan of yours, but it wasn't until I saw your speaker broadcast with The National Society of Leadership and Success that I really had a newfound respect for you and your work ethic. You mentioned that you suffer from anxiety and OCD and I think a lot of people can relate to that. As debilitating as it is, you still are able to push through and do auditions and perform in these big movie roles. You exude confidence when you're on screen and that's so fascinating to me. It wasn't until I saw you as Lex Luthor in the new "Batman v Superman" movie that I knew you really could be diverse with your acting. You've always chosen movie roles where you're the awkward, but charming geek and in this new role, you're a sarcastic criminal mastermind. This a big change for you and personally, I think you deserve all the awards for that role.

Your dry sense of humor is hard for people to understand, but I love it. It's what makes you unique. You are a man of many talents and I think you're one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood. With a resume like yours, I think you're going to go very far in life. Your good looks can get you so far, but your talent and your will to take your work seriously will make you very successful.

Sincerely,

A 20-Something With a Whole Lot of Admiration for You

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
