6 Questions We Still Have After 'Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again'

https://www.netflix.com/watch/70097579?trackId=13752289&tctx=0%2C0%2Ca9cbd26b8f728d9bc7b17d95c01077f2a59967b4%3Ace9caa3988f66bc80dc99223f1da0b309213097f%2C%2C

"Mamma Mia," as well as its sequel, "Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again," are both, in my opinion, classics. From the three love stories, all of which I would've been okay with working out, to the inseparable bond of friendship, and of course, the iconic songs, "Mamma Mia" gave us a movie and a story like no other.

However, both movies left us with a couple of burning questions that I still want some answers to.

1. How did Donna die?

Spoiler alert, Donna died. We don't know how, we just know that in the beginning of the sequel, Sophie and the rest of the cast are both coping with the loss and rebuilding Donna's life work. However, we'll never know how she actually passed away.

2. Did Sky and Sophie get married or no?

In the first movie, Sky and Sophie are planning to get married, but at the end though, they decide not to and to go travel the world. However when we find them in the sequel, they're in two parts of the world. At the conclusions of the movie, although the lovers make up, we still don't know if they're married or not.

3. What kind of guy is Harry, really?

Harry. Sweet Harry. To seem like such a simple guy he apparently has lots of sides. Portrayed in the second movie as a pure, shy guy who loves Donna fully, he's also portrayed in the second movie as "Headbanger Harry," so when did I miss this side of the story Harry?

4. What happened to Sam's kids?

Although in the first movie Sam and Donna spark their love back and get married on the island that they both love, Sam originally left Donna for another woman who he got married to. In the movie he states that he has kids and he is divorced, but did he just leave his kids aside to take on this new lifestyle?

5. What kind of woman is Ruby Sheridan?

Okay Ruby (Cher). Who are you really? In the first movie, Donna's mother is spoken of as a strict Catholic woman who disapproved of Donna's every action. However, when she makes her grand appearance at the end of round two, Donna is Cher and a flashy singer. How do we go from strict Catholic to boujee, Ruby?

6. How was Donna the Valedictorian of Oxford if she was kissing teachers?

In the beginning of the sequel, we watch the glorious graduation of Donna and her friends from Oxford, and they perform a song about kissing teachers. So Donna is beautiful, smart, and talented? She must have it all.

Despite all of these burning questions I and many want answers to, "Mamma Mia" is undoubtedly the duo of musical movies for the ages. If you haven't seen it, grab your girls and go sing along to the most iconic story about love, but also about powerful, independent women I've ever seen. You go Donna.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
