If Life Were A Movie

Life, camera, action!

If Life Were A Movie
James Runkle

Ah yes, movies. They portray ideal worlds and fantasies we can only dream of living in. Full of action, adventure, romance, skyrocketing emotions, and more, movies are the perfect escape from reality. But what if real life was like the movies? What would happen?

1. Everyone would end up with their soulmate.

You might not know who your true love is at this exact moment, but don't despair. You'll end up with Mr. or Mrs. Right eventually. Of course you'll have your ups and downs like every classic romantic comedy, but it'll be worth it in the end when your love is brighter than the stars or whatever cliche your film will follow.


2. All heard noises would lead to an unnecessary investigation.

What was that crash coming from upstairs? Clearly it wasn't the house settling. Maybe it's a robber, a murderer, or even a ghost. Either way, you'll have to slowly creep up the steps only to find... nothing. Stand in your hallway for a few more moments just to make sure you're not in serious danger. Also, don't bother turning on any lights; it's much more fun to investigate in the dark. And whatever you do, don't call the police. It's not like it's their job to catch thieves and killers or anything. OH! It was just your cat that knocked over a plant. You can go back downstairs now.


3. Major plot twists would occur every 20-30 minutes.

Imagine you just started a new job as a waiter at your favorite restaurant when all of a sudden the head chef dies. You're giving a chance to live out your childhood dream when BAM! you find out your long lost brother moved back in town. He needs a job so you put in a good word to get him hired as a bus boy. You come to learn that he's a cocaine addict after finding his stash in the kitchen. So that's what all the hype over that sprinkled Parmesan was about. And then the head chef comes back from the dead as a zombie and you and your cokehead brother have to kill him to save the restaurant and the world and yeah. Life is crazy.


4. We would all have superb dialogue.

No more stuttering over your words or sounding like a complete tool in front of your crush. Your sentences would be well crafted and full of deep thoughts if life was a movie. You know those long drawn out speeches every great drama has? Forget simple sentences because those monologues are your life now.


5. You know that guy you see all the time at work? He's either the love of your life or a serial killer. Or both.

We all need love, right? Maybe...

6. Background music would play constantly.


Adele's glorious music would surround you as something tragic happened, Bruno Mar's lovey-dovey tunes would play every time you see a potential lover, and something by Green Day would blast as you drown in your angst. Also, feel free to spontaneously break out into song and dance.


So the next time you're watching a movie, imagine if that was your life. Make sure to pick a good one!

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

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.
