Fifty Shades of Nay

Fifty Shades of Nay

2015 Valentine's Day romance kicked off to the opening of E.L. James' kinky bestseller "Fifty Shades of Grey." "Mr. Grey will see you now," oh there it is, and one of the 25 words exchanged infamous lines during the entire movie that's purpose was to shock the world with sex, scandal and masochism. Love hurts? Watching this movie hurt. Spoiler Alert: I opened up the book and read one sentence that had two verbs in it and that was the end of "Fifty Shades of Grey."

Sure there was what everyone expected, Christian Grey's sculpted bod, Anastasia's forced innocence, fancy cars and fancy whips. Whether you are an avid reader of the Fifty Shades Trilogy, or an inexperienced boyfriend dragged to the theater with his girlfriend to get tips on how to spice up their sex life, everyone had their own expectations of the poorly written books. Some having limited enjoyment from the poorly written screenplay and sex scenes, and some of the views that couldn't keep a straight face during the two-hour-five-minute drama (my entire friend group).

“Just open the damn door Christian," oh the sexual awkward tension couldn't erase the fact that Anastasia Steele, no matter the level of education, apparently still was not aware that razors existed. Jamie Doran, god bless your sculpted body, but it's hard to pay attention to that when your fake English accent is ruining your entire performance. “Does this mean you're going to make love to me tonight, Christian?" Oh, sorry I had no idea I was watching bonus scenes from "Twilight."

Not even the amount of Grey Goose that could be shared by a bunch of single 30-year-olds accompanying each other to the premiere could cloud the fact that this movie was a little disappointing. Maybe it's the fact that I read the first book on a flight to Hawaii next to my mother, or the fact that she has read it has ruined my overall excitement and interest in this movie. The movie took a turn for the worst after the masochistic whipping, or maybe the fact that if he was the owner of a local Citgo gas station this could be another episode of CSI. I'm sorry but calling the room your "playroom" sounds more like a pedophile than a sex addict.

Thank you Ellie Goulding for saving this movie from being somewhat of a disappointment, love me like you do Christian Grey, love me like you do. I do commend this movie for including such a groundbreaking line that will not only be used in normal conversation within my friend group, but will affect generations to come, “Laters, Baby."

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.
