How To Live Your Life Like An Action Movie Star

Everyone wishes at some point that they could live their life like an action movie. But as ex-military nomad vigilante Jack Reacher proves in JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK, not everyone gets the off-the-grid lifestyle with all the 007 perks. Though maybe taking the law into your own hands is probably not the best idea, take your life one step closer to the action-packed lifestyle of Jack Reacher by taking a page from his book.

Make the best of what you got.

If Reacher tells you to hang up the phone... Hang up the phone.

For Jack, this might mean only having a telephone as a weapon and still kicking some major butt. For you, that means taking that single chicken breast, some EasyMac and stick of celery from your kitchen and somehow still making a cohesive meal for dinner. It may be slim pickings, but you still figure it out.

Reuse old clothes or borrow from friends.

We're glad Reacher is on our side. See the hard hitting action in theaters 10/21.

Reacher finds a use for his old military uniforms (or he simply “borrowed” them from someone, if you know what I mean), so you have a use for that old denim jacket you’ve had since middle school. Granted he’s breaking into a military base using that uniform, but you can “break” the mold by wearing clothes you haven’t worn in a while and passing them off as vintage

Don’t order takeout too much, and if you do, just get the bare minimum.

Ready or not, here he comes. #JackReacherMovie

Jack Reacher is the guy the waitress at the diner didn't count on because she's gonna get a bad tip from a guy who just orders coffee. Do you know how much a cup of coffee costs? Maybe two bucks. I’m not saying the way to be a badass is saving your money, but I’m not not saying that.

Take initiative.

Man of action. #JackReacherMovie

Reacher lives by the motto, “Act, Don’t React.” If you want something to happen, don’t wait for other people to make that happen for you.

JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK is in theaters and IMAX nationwide on October 21st.

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.
