8 Reasons Why You Definitely Need To See 'Beauty and the Beast'

The live action Beauty and the Beast finally hits movie theaters this Friday, March 17th. If you still need some convincing to go see this remake of the tale as old as time, here's why you need to go see Beauty and the Beast!

1.Belle was probably one of your favorite, if not your favorite, Disney princesses.


Belle is smart, kind, and loves to read-- how could she have not been your ideal Disney princess growing up?

2. She's probably still your favorite princess today.

Don't even try to deny the envy you feel when you visit Disney World and see her walking around in that classic yellow gown and a prince on her arm.

3. One person, two words: Emma Watson.

Emma Watson as Belle isn't just a dream come true for her; it's a dream come true for all of us!

4. The movie recreates some of your favorite songs from the original.

Emma Watson singing "Belle" and "Something There"? Yes, please! Ariana Grande and John Legend will be also featured in the film with their rendition of "Beauty and the Beast".

5. Beside Emma Watson, the film features more of your favorite actors.

Josh Gad, who voiced Olaf in Frozen, plays Gaston's right-hand man, LeFou. Stanley Tucci, who you'll recognize from his roles in The Devil Wears Prada and The Hunger Games, takes on a newly-created role for the film. Tucci plays Cadenza, the grand piano.

6. It makes a Harry Potter reference in the very beginning

In the very beginning of "Belle", Belle asks the townsman if he's lost something and he remarks,"Problem is, I can't remember what". Seem familiar? That's because Hermione and Neville have a similar conversation in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone! As Neville's Remembrall turns red, Hermione asks what he has lost and he replies, "The only problem is, I can't remember what I've forgotten." Coincidence? I think not!

7. It's basically your childhood.

Between the above Harry Potter reference and Emma going from Hermione to Belle, this movie is combining two of your childhood obsessions-- Harry Potter and Disney! And Emma Watson isn't the only actress with Harry Potter in her background. Emma Thompson, who played Professor Trelawney in HP, plays Mrs.Potts.

8. It'll get you excited for all the Disney live-action remakes to come.

With Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and The Lion King in the works of becoming live-action films, Beauty and the Beast will prepare you for what to expect of Disney's future remakes.

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.
