11 Facts You Didn't Know About Your Favorite Movies

Whenever I watch a film, I have to look it up on IMDb first. There you will see the complete cast, goofs and even little trivia from all your favorite movies. So, I thought that I would share with you all, a compilation of what I have found over the last couple days.

1. In "Titanic" Kate Winslet knew she was going to have to have a nude scene so she flashed Leonardo DiCaprio when they first met. It was also the first scene they shot for the film.


2. "A Walk To Remember" was filmed in only 39 days despite the fact Mandy Moore could only work 10 hours a day because she was a minor.


3. At the end of "Blazing Saddles" there is a man in a sweater standing by a pole when the whole group is running out of the Warner Bros. lot. This man was not hired to be in the film but was confused by instructions to get out of the take, so they left him in.


4. In "Captain America: Civil War" Iron Man makes a remark that Aunt May is a very good looking woman. Robert Downey Jr and Marisa Tomei actually had a relationship in the 1990's.


5. Tom Selleck was supposed to play Indiana Jones.


6. In "Beetlejuice" Michael Keaton often improvised his lines. One of the most notable is when he is first introduced to Adam and Barbara where Michael says factual things about himself including that he graduated from Harvard.


7. After Matt Damon and Ben Affleck finished the "Good Will Hunting" script, they sent it to a lot of different studios. They decided to add an out of nowhere sex scene between the two straight male characters just to see who would actually read it. No one but Harvey Weinsten commented on it, and they had to explain to him why they did it.


8. The shot in "Pulp Fiction" where Vincent's character pulls the needle out of Mia's chest, they actually ran the film backwards to make it look real.


9. During shooting of "Whiplash" Miles Teller tackled J.K. Simmons and cracked two of his ribs. He still managed to work despite his injury.


10. During every break filming "Spotlight" Mark Ruffalo studied Michael Rezendes and even asked him to say his lines for him.


11. James Cameron had said he wanted to make "Jurassic Park" but found out the rights were bought by Steven Spielberg a few hours before he was planning to buy them.

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.
