'Me Before You' Will Stick With You After The Final Credits
Me Before You

A few weeks ago I went to the movie theater with my mother to see "Me Before You." I sat and watched the 1 hour and 55 minute film and laughed, smiled, cried, and then smiled and laughed again, and then cried and cried and cried. It is an emotional film to say the least, that has the absence of a traditional fairy-tale ending. The characters are vivid and the story is realistic, it sticks with you. From life, and death, to love and loss it has you question every choice you've ever made.

Emilia Clark who plays the main role of Lou Clark is this quirky, lovable, heart warming young woman who is desperately needing a job. After struggling at the beginning of the film, she ends up being the caregiver to Will Turner, who is played by Sam Claflin, who just happens to be dreamy in every way possible. Will is the other main character who had everything in life. He was a good looking, adventurous man who had everything in his life taken away from him in one freak accident that left him paralyzed in more way than one. Lou and Will both struggle to co-exist, and eventually blossom into a beautiful relationship filled with love, trust, and dependency.

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?
