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.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
