11 Roles Leonardo DiCaprio Should Have Won An Oscar For

Leonardo DiCaprio is known for his good looks and charming personality along with a great ability to act. He has won 84 of the 196 awards he has been nominated for. He started as a supporting cast member for the sitcom "Growing Pains" in 1985, but then started to take off in the 1990's, landing roles in both "Romeo and Juliet" (1996) and "Titanic" (1997). From that point on, his career sky-rocketed.

With such a great career already built, there is still one award that has never been in Leo's favor- the Oscar. More specifically, the Oscar for best performance by an actor in a leading role. It wasn't until this year that Leo finally took the award home, for his leading role in "The Revenant," making it his first in his long acting career. But, just because he technically won his first Oscar this year, doesn't mean that his other movies weren't "Oscar worthy." In fact, there are a handful of movies that I think Leo should have won an Oscar for.


1. What's Eating Gilbert Grape

2. Titanic


3. Blood Diamond


4. Catch Me If You Can


5. Aviator

6. Shutter Island


7. The Departed


8. Inception


9. The Great Gatsby

10. Django Unchained


11. The Wolf of Wall Street


Finally, in 2016, Leo won his first Oscar, but these 11 movies were more than Oscar-worthy. Despite having won only one Oscar, Leo is still one of the best actors to ever grace the screen.

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.
