Why Amy Schumer and Her New Movie Rock

Why Amy Schumer and Her New Movie Rock

No—I am not referring to the insane Amy from the addictive movie/book "Gone Girl." I am talking about the hilarious comedian I now want as my best friend, Amy Schumer. After seeing her recent movie "Trainwreck," I can proudly say that her film debut was undoubtedly a success. Starring as a commitment-fearing partier alongside Bill Hader, LeBron James, and a multitude of other killer celebrities, Amy clearly lets her natural, humorous personality and charm shine through into her on-screen character.

I had only heard of Amy Schumer via "The Bachelorette" and my tendency to eaves-drop on other conversations, but after seeing this movie, I can say it is definitely up there next to "Bridesmaids" on my list of laugh-til-you-cry movies. I don't want to ruin the movie, I just want to commend it for not being forcibly funny. The film was funny in its perfect amounts of emotions, including brotherly to romantic love. It adds a sort of realism and modern twist that most romantic comedies fail to recognize. In almost all those, we see the same story: boy likes girl, girl likes boy, something weird and dramatic happens, they break up, they magically get back together, and then the world is perfect again. However, "Trainwreck" is different in that it allows for more accurate scenarios to be seen on screen with a lot of ridiculously good humor. Do yourself a favor and go see it if you haven't yet.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
