'Beauty And The Beast' Is Back And Better Than Ever

Disney’s live-action feature film of "Beauty and the Beast" earned the title of the most viewed trailer in its first 24 hours after being released last week. On Monday, Nov. 14, the trailer that was distributed across all social media platforms, had jaws dropping everywhere.

The Beauty and the Beast trailer drew in 127.6 million views in just one day. The previous record was set by "Fifty Shades Greyer," the second movie in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy, with 114 million views. Before that, Star Wars: The Force Awakens held the title with 112 million views.

If you can recall, there was a teaser trailer that was released back in May. This teaser consisted of the classical music, scenes of the inside and outside of the Beast’s castle, and only a super quick glimpse of Belle leaving viewers hungry for more.

This official trailer, however, is what myself and everyone else in the world was waiting for. We got to finally witness scenes featuring Belle as played by Emma Watson, and costarring Dan Stevens who plays the Beast. We even got a glance of Lumiere, Cogsworth and Mrs. Potts. If you put this trailer frame-by-frame next to the original film that was animated in 1991, they match up perfectly. I don’t know about you, but I felt so nostalgic and sentimental while watching the Beauty and the Beast trailer that I may or may not have teared up a little. Pass the box of tissues, please.

This specific Disney movie holds a very special place in my heart because my eighth grade play was "Beauty and the Beast" and I played one of the three silly girls as well as a dancing napkin. (Cue the song "Be Our Guest.") Watching the trailer is like being thrown back into our childhood and experiencing the magic once more. I think I speak for most of us when I say that March 17, 2017 (the date it’s released in theaters) cannot come soon enough!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
