Highlights Of The 74th Golden Globes
Vox

The Golden Globes are one of my favorite award shows for hitting both television and film awards. The acceptance speeches this year were heartfelt and/or truly inspirational. Some used a spotlight for a message the actor found important, or perhaps nudged colleagues with a few jokes. There was a beautiful variety of dresses, and a few more creative suits than other award shows yet much less emphasis and pressure on who looked best and worst. There was glamour, tears, laughter, and love that filled a room full of stars, and it felt like us at home were truly there with them. Here are the best moments of the 74th Golden Globes.

1. Jimmy Fallon’s musical opening and monologue

"You might remember Manchester by the sea for being the only thing from 2016 that was more depressing than 2016."

2. Viola Davis’ speech

"To the original Troy, my father Dan Davis... he had a fifth grade education, didn't know how to read until he was 15. But you know what? He had a story and it deserved to be told."

3. Tracee Ellis Ross' speech

"[To] all the amazing people that brought me here in my career because it's nice at 44. I like it here!"

4. Kristen Wiig and Steve Carell's "first time I watched an animated movie" stories

"I never saw my father again after that day... 'Fantasia' day."

5. The tribute video for Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher

May they both rest in peace.

6. Claire Foy’s speech

"I think the world could do with a few more women at the center of it, if you ask me."

7. Meryl Streep’s tribute video for the Cecil B. DeMille Award


So many fantastic roles in so many fantastic films.

8. Meryl Streep's speech

"Thank you, Hollywood Foreign Press... you and all of us in this room really belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now. Think about it: Hollywood, foreigners, and the press."

9. Donald Glover’s speech

"My dad used to tell me everyday like, 'You can do anything you want,' and I remember thinking as a kid in third grade like, 'You're lying to me.'" But now I do stuff and he's like, 'I didn't think that was possible,' so..."

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.
