Buzzfeed recently released an article listing 14 movie scenes that have definitely left us all "scarred for life" and with good reason -- they're creative masterpieces! Personally, my inner child is still not over the death in "Bridge to Terabithia" and that's just one of the many movie scenes my heart has yet to heal from.

I mean, you know you're watching a great movie when you find yourself deep into your emotions while trying so hard not to cry and giving yourself a headache in the process. Although those 14 scenes never fail to leave us sobbing hysterically, 14 is just not enough. Neither are 11 more since we all know the list is endless -- and so are our tears. Anyways, here are 11 additional heartwrenching scenes you've probably watched and will never forget. Cue tears.

1. When the young boys in "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" meet their end together.

2. When Artax sinks into the Swamp of Sadness (i.e. the deep abyss of death) in "The Neverending Story."

3. When John Coffey is executed in the electric chair in "The Green Mile."

4. When Little Foot's mother passes away after her battle with a T-rex in "The Land Before Time."

5. When old age and sickness takes over Carl's wife Ellie in "Up."

6. When Widow Tweed leaves Tod behind in "The Fox and the Hound."

7. When Harry says goodbye to A.J. in "Armageddon."

8. When Will Smith's only and long-time companion Sam is choked to death in "I Am Legend."

9. When, in "Interstellar," Cooper watches himself in the fifth dimension leave Murphy and tells her to not to let him leave. "Make him stay Murph!"

10. Or when Cooper is watching 23 years of footage after returning from Miller's planet. Double heartbreak.

11. When Snape's heartbreaking story and secret devotion to Harry is revealed as he is dying in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2."

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.
