"Me Before You," the book that has taken the world by storm. The book by Jojo Moyes is now a motion picture. Many fans are going out to purchase the book due to the movie and for a good reason. Here are a few reasons you should see "Me Before You."

1. Our old friend Finnick Odair is taking a break from the "The Hunger Games."

Sam Claflin is taking a break from his role in "The Hunger Games" and stepping into a new role as Will Traynor. He's taking on a new role that is quite different from the courageous one in "The Hunger Games."

2. Our other friend Emilia Clarke is taking a break from being Khaleesi in "Game of Thrones."

Her hair isn't the only thing that has changed in her role in Me Before You. Emilia Clarke steps into the role of Lou Clark to take on a role that is no longer that of a queen. She is an energetic, positive, awkward girl just trying to make it by.

3. This love story is not your typical love story.

Neither Lou or Will live a luxurious lifestyle. Lou finds herself unemployed and Will is a quadriplegic man. This doesn't stop them from finding adventure and love along the way.

4. If you want to cry, this movie is for you.

This movie is a tearjerker friends. Most love stories are, but this one is bound to tear right at your heart strings. It's not like most sad movies you've seen. This one is a little different. This is a friendly reminder to bring kleenex.

5. It sheds light on those living with disabilities.

Will Traynor is a man who is a quadriplegic in Me Before You. This movie sheds light on those living with this kind of disability. We get to see into the daily life of someone living as a quadriplegic.

6. It will make you want to buy the book.

Though there are some differences between the movie and the book, this movie will have you running to the bookstore. You'll want to read the love story you just watched unfold on the big screen.

7. It is the chick flick of the summer.

It is a funny, romantic, morally complex, and emotional movie. What more could you want in a chick flick?

8. It is full of adventure.

Scuba diving isn't the only fun adventure this couple takes part in. This movie is full of embracing life on at full force and enjoying every moment of it.

9. It's not only going to make you cry, but it will give you a good laugh as well.

Basically this movie is an emotional rollercoaster. Though paralysis is not a matter that should be joked about, "Me Before You" gets a lot of laughs out of the tension between Will Traynor and Lou Clark while she has to learn on the job.

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.

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.

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.
