"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" v. "Allied"
E Online

If you're not up to speed on the whole Brangelina thing, I'll give you the short version. Brad and Angelina are getting a divorce after 12 years of being together. Jolie initiated the divorce, filing against Pitt citing "irreconcilable differences." It has come out that these "differences" involved Brad's parenting and use of drugs and alcohol. Jolie is asking for physical custody of their six children, but would allow Pitt visitation. Yikes.

There is also speculation that Pitt cheated on Jolie with his "Allied" co-star, Marion Cotillard. Though Cotillard denies having anything to do with the split, it is quote ironic. Here's why...

Angelina and Brad met while filming a movie together, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," in 2005. Pitt and Cotillard met while filming their upcoming movie, "Allied." Pitt, at the time of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," was dating Jennifer Aniston. He allegedly cheated on Jennifer with Angelina, resulting in the birth of Brangelina. If the rumors about Marion Cotillard are true, then Angelina is now in the same situation that Jennifer Anniston was in. Ironic, right?

But wait! There's more...

"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" is about a seemingly normal married couple. However, they are actually two assassins who have secretly been hired to kill each other. This, of course, causes them to not trust each other and creates tension. (Also ironic: their marriage is crumbling, and they seek therapy to avoid divorce.) "Allied" is about an intelligence officer who finds out that his wife might be a German spy. He is told that if she is, he must kill her. This, of course, causes him not to trust her and creates tension. Sound familiar? It should!

Here are the trailers for both movies.



Whether the plot similarities and time of release for "Allied" are coincidental or not, there sure is a lot of irony surrounding it!

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.
