15 Events That Happened In Popular Culture When "Cheaper By the Dozen 2" Premiered

This year marks the tenth anniversary that "Cheaper by the Dozen 2," the sequel to the 2003 remake of the film, had its premiere. While the first film was released two years earlier, you may remember the sequel better, but in order to refresh your memory, let's briefly take a look at what happened in the film. As in the first film, the focus is on the Baker family headed by Tom (Steve Martin) and Kate (Bonnie Hunt), but this time, it is set during the summer as they find themselves competing in a set of games with a family of eight, headed by a friend of Tom's played by Eugene Levy. Like the first film, this sequel is full of laughs and is one that will never get old, even now, a decade following its release. Of course many other things happened in 2005 in the world of popular culture, so let's rewind for a moment and take a look back at some of the things from that special year that we will never forget.

1. Chris Rock hosted the Academy Awards for the first time.

This year will mark his second time hosting the awards show.

2. Lucas laid it out on the line for Brooke in Season 3 of "One Tree Hill."


3. "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" premiered.

4. Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling professed their love for each other quite visibly at the 2005 MTV Movie Awards.

The original #couplegoals, am I right?

5. Team Jolie vs. Team Aniston

Sadly, this was actually a thing…

6. Brangelina would make their first appearance on screen as a married couple in Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

7. Destiny's Child took a hiatus then officially broke up.

*Cue sad face emoji*

8. And Blink-182 did as well.

RIP.

9. The first season of "Desperate Housewives" came to an end.

10. While HBO concluded its five-season series "Six Feet Under" with an emotional finale.

11. Tom Cruise publicly declared his love for Katie Holmes on Oprah.

By jumping on an unsuspecting yellow couch...ouch!

12. Christian Bale takes the role of Batman on in “Batman Begins."

Will Ben Affleck be able to fill the shoes that Bale has left? Let's see on March 25.

13. The song “We Belong Together” by Mariah Carey appeared two consecutive times on the Billboard charts in June and August 2005.

14. On the topic of music, 17-year-old Rihanna came out with a smash with the release of her single “Pon De Replay.”

15. The sixth series in the Harry Potter books, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," was published.

2005 was a fun year in many ways (as you've just been reminded), and as ever, the fun is reflected in the popular culture of the day, and nothing about culture is as all-American as the movies.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
