Buzzfeed recently released an article listing 14 movie scenes that have definitely left us all "scarred for life" and with good reason -- they're creative masterpieces! Personally, my inner child is still not over the death in "Bridge to Terabithia" and that's just one of the many movie scenes my heart has yet to heal from.

I mean, you know you're watching a great movie when you find yourself deep into your emotions while trying so hard not to cry and giving yourself a headache in the process. Although those 14 scenes never fail to leave us sobbing hysterically, 14 is just not enough. Neither are 11 more since we all know the list is endless -- and so are our tears. Anyways, here are 11 additional heartwrenching scenes you've probably watched and will never forget. Cue tears.

1. When the young boys in "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" meet their end together.

2. When Artax sinks into the Swamp of Sadness (i.e. the deep abyss of death) in "The Neverending Story."

3. When John Coffey is executed in the electric chair in "The Green Mile."

4. When Little Foot's mother passes away after her battle with a T-rex in "The Land Before Time."

5. When old age and sickness takes over Carl's wife Ellie in "Up."

6. When Widow Tweed leaves Tod behind in "The Fox and the Hound."

7. When Harry says goodbye to A.J. in "Armageddon."

8. When Will Smith's only and long-time companion Sam is choked to death in "I Am Legend."

9. When, in "Interstellar," Cooper watches himself in the fifth dimension leave Murphy and tells her to not to let him leave. "Make him stay Murph!"

10. Or when Cooper is watching 23 years of footage after returning from Miller's planet. Double heartbreak.

11. When Snape's heartbreaking story and secret devotion to Harry is revealed as he is dying in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2."

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.
