10 Reasons Why The Rock is A Gem
wallpapermade

Who else can go from wrestling grown men in pretty much nothing, to singing his heart out in a Disney movie? Dwayne – The Rock – Johnson has to be the most diverse person in the entertainment industry. He's made it to the lists of "Most Powerful Celebrities," "100 Most Influential People in the World," and has even been named “Man of the Century,” which is probably the most accurate title he's earned.

The man was just born for the big screen. Just so you know, for his first starring role they paid him 5.5 million to play Mathayus in “The Scorpion King.” That's a world record for an actor to be paid for their first, starring role, and he is worth every penny.

We all know he's a man of many talents. Between wrestling, acting, hell, even singing, he's someone who you'd trust with your savings account, a trust fall and your phone's pass code. He's also someone who you'd expect to be a master on the grill. Basically, he's the total package. Did I mention that he's funny? Well, he's pretty damn funny! All things considered, he's also a dream crusher. Sorry ladies and gentlemen, he's married with two kids.

Despite it all, we just kind of assume that he's amazing without even needing a reason why. Here are 10 reminders of how great the man, the myth, the legend is.


1. Lit Guest Appearances

I bet you didn't realize that he was on "Star Trek." This was one of his earliest roles and not surprisingly, he nailed it. It's like WWE: Alien Addition.

2. That Fanny Pack Tho

You never really need to know the context of this photo. It's just iconic. It's been the inspiration to many Halloween costumes, and you could probably sneak it in to your family photo display and no one would notice for a few months.

3. Lip Sync Skills Are Fire


Okay, we're all guilty of lip syncing this one in the safety of our cars and homes, but we never can nail it like this. Just look at the commitment in this performance.

4. SNL Skits


He's been on so many, but this one is especially great for so many reasons. Plus, he's already done everything else, why not run for president?

5. Did you know that...

His middle name is Douglass and he studied criminology and physiology at the University of Miami? The more you know.

6. "Bay Watch"


Let's me honest: we all wish he was actually our life guard. Surely him and Zac are more than competent enough to save you from drowning.

7. The Physique

Alright. It's time to address the elephant in the room. His physique is incredible and perfect motivation to work out.

8. “The Game Plan” is legendary


It will always trigger every emotion I have ever had.

9. Lights, Camera, Action!

You know that whenever he's in an action film, it's about to get real.

10. “You're Welcome”


Sure this one totally flows with the movie and everything, but we all know that The Rock is sending us subliminal messages. How could he not know he's a gift to the world?

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
