Jack Sparrow returns in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales." The fifth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean is set to release on May 26, 2017. That means that the big Hollywood premiere will most likely occur in April or May. It is one of the most anticipated films of the summer. Fans and critics are excited to see the film, but Johnny Depp will most likely not be one of those watching.

Johnny Depp has made clear in a number of interviews that he prefers not to watch his own films. But why does he deprive himself of what most of us would consider a pleasure?

Depp explained, "I made a choice a long time ago, that I was better off not watching my films... I feel like it would just harm me. I would rather stay as ignorant as possible about the result of anything because once you're done playing that character, it's really not your business anymore." He once told Lettermen that his children had seen more of his movies than he has.

Depp is not the only one in Hollywood who prefers to stay clear of their own work. Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox, Jessie Eisenberg, Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro are just a few of those in the big business who do not enjoy watching their own movies. Some actors refuse to watch their films because they feel that it hurts their craft. Others prefer not to watch simply because of their own insecurities.

Regardless of Depp's reasoning, you can be sure there won't be a surprise appearance from Depp during a screening of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales."

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
