If you clicked on this link to read about models being transformed into terrifying creatures with makeup and other various tools, I hate to tell you but you will be sadly disappointed. If you clicked on this link because you found two people getting their faces surgically removed and exchanged, you're in luck! I am honestly a little embarrassed to say I only saw the movie "Face/Off" for the first time the other day. Although I was so impressed that I am going to prove to everyone in six reasons why it is the greatest movie of all time.

1. Nicolas Cage. 'Nuff said.

If you do not love Nicolas Cage, click off this post right now and watch or re-watch any movie he has every been in and get back with me. You can not NOT love his acting and his facial expression that never changes. "Face/Off" actually shows Mr. Cage showing more emotion than I believe I have seen in any other movie he has ever been in. I don't care what anyone says, I think he's pretty darn attractive in this movie as well.

2. John Travolta's Butt Chin

I like to think of John Travolta's chin as a car accident or a deep wound; It's horrible but you just can't stop staring. "That's so shallow! Would you want someone picking on one of your flaws like this?" If I made millions (billions?) of dollars every year I would welcome someone into my home just to tell me about how much they didn't like my chin. And hey, it's all in good fun, even he jokes about his chin in the movie!

3. "I can eat a peach for hours"

I was absolutely hooked on this movie from the first fifteen minutes (which is saying something because this movie is OVER two hours of pure amazingness). Nicolas Cage's character was cocky, evil and just plain dirty--and I loved it. His comments were the perfect amount of awkward and hilarious.

4. Come on... face transferring?

Sometimes some things are just so dumb that they become amazing. Like taking your face off, sticking it in some solution to perserve it for the time being and then putting on another person's face instead. Who thought up this stuff? The greatest part is they actually managed to make it seem somewhat (I said SOMEWHAT) legit.

5. That acting, though!

I can only imagine how difficult it must be to really get into a character and act as well as they did. Now imagine having to get comfortable enough with a character to portray it will then having to do the COMPLETELY opposite so soon after. It's even possible that they had to switch between the two frequently since they do not film the movie in the same order it plays. Kudos guys!

6. That famous smile

No words, just proof.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
