17 Answers To Life College Girls Can ONLY Find In Tom Hanks Movies

Forrest Gump isn't the only philosophical character Tom Hanks has played

18

Life is hard. There's no way around it. That's why we, as humans, look to our friends, parents, favorite movies, horoscopes, and even fortune cookies to help guide us through life. Movies, in addition to my friends and parents, have helped me overcome the struggles life has thrown at me. Tom Hanks, in particular, has dished out some rather sage advice through his movies over the years. Woody's exclamation of, "You are a toy!" served to remind Buzz Lightyear of who he was in Toy Story. And even though Forrest Gump didn't have a high IQ, he had a greater understanding of human nature then some philosophers. So the next time life doesn't go your way, just remember what Tom Hanks would say.

1) Don't be afraid to ask for help from your friends

Friends have the ability to offer a different perspective that will help you solve any problem life throws your way.

2) Be ok with your imperfections

3) No matter how old we get, we will still seem like a little kid to our parents

Giphy

4) Yet we still want to be treated like the adults we are

5) Sometimes food is the answer

6) When life doesn't go our way, crying won't solve the problem

7) Trust your instincts

8) Relationships don't go as planned

9) No matter how impossible it may seem, try and make your dreams a reality

Giphy

10) Dealing with cynical people can be exhausting

Giphy

11) Loss is a part of life

We all do Forest. We all do.

12) Be brave even when you're scared

Giphy

13) Embrace your passions

Giphy

14) When you can't think of something awesome to say, just be yourself

Giphy

First impressions are difficult, especially if you really want to impress someone. Just be yourself and your personality will shine through. If they don't like you for who you are, then they are not worth your time.

15) We all want to feel loved

Giphy

16) Dance like no one's watching

Giphy

If you are self conscious of your dance moves, you are not alone. Not many people are confident in the way they dance. But don't let that stop you from denying the world of your awesome dance moves!!

17) Be comfortable in your own skin

Giphy

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

125407

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
