Tom Hanks And Bill Murray Are #LifeGoals

We should all want to be as happy and beloved at them when I'm their age.

Tom Hanks And Bill Murray Are #LifeGoals
Wikipedia

Imagine you just got married. You and your significant other are all dressed up and doing a photo shoot. You're in a public park, so people are bound to be walking by. One guy in particular comes walking past, but instead of passing through and letting you continue on with your photo shoot, he walks right up to you, takes off his hat and says, "Hi, I'm Tom Hanks." One lucky couple in New York City had just this experience. Mr. Hanks then took a selfie with the couple and posted it to his social media accounts, complete with a congratulatory message for the newlyweds:

Perhaps even more famous than Tom Hanks and his propensity for impromptu photo shoots is the legendary Bill Murray.

Bill Murray has reached mythical heights in his later life through his habit of crashing parties (and offering sagely advice), taking up bartending on the fly (to serve people tequila shots regardless of what they order), perfecting the art of golf apparel.

Tom Hanks and Bill Murray are easily two of the most iconic actors to ever grace us with their existence, and the reputations that they've gained as wayward event crashers are certainly well-deserved. That is why the lives of these two legends are the ultimate #LifeGoals.

Think about it. How great it must be to have lived a successful enough life that you're set to retire at a reasonable age (Tom Hanks is 60, and Bill Murray is 66), and yet still have a job that you love enough to keep on doing for however long you wish. How great it must be to be so beloved that you can go anywhere and do anything, like crash a private party or walk right up on a couple's photo shoot, and be welcomed with the warmest of embraces.

That is the kind of life to which we should all aspire, and it isn't as much a reach as we all think it is. It doesn't take the kind of international acclaim that Bill Murray and Tom Hanks have garnered to have this kind of life.

(Don't listen to him.) You don't have to be rich or famous to be somebody that everybody wants to have around late into life. You don't have to be an irreverent actor to have a job you love. You just have to have the kind of approach to life that Bill Murray and Tom Hanks have shown that the human spirit is entirely capable of taking, and some day you'll find yourself crashing peoples' parties and photoshoots without issue.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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.
