Tom Hanks And Bill Murray Are #LifeGoals

We should all want to be as happy and beloved at them when I'm their age.

Tom Hanks And Bill Murray Are #LifeGoals
Wikipedia

Imagine you just got married. You and your significant other are all dressed up and doing a photo shoot. You're in a public park, so people are bound to be walking by. One guy in particular comes walking past, but instead of passing through and letting you continue on with your photo shoot, he walks right up to you, takes off his hat and says, "Hi, I'm Tom Hanks." One lucky couple in New York City had just this experience. Mr. Hanks then took a selfie with the couple and posted it to his social media accounts, complete with a congratulatory message for the newlyweds:

Elizabeth and Ryan! Congrats and blessings! Hanx. pic.twitter.com/Uy2GIqYphU

Perhaps even more famous than Tom Hanks and his propensity for impromptu photo shoots is the legendary Bill Murray.

Bill Murray has reached mythical heights in his later life through his habit of crashing parties (and offering sagely advice), taking up bartending on the fly (to serve people tequila shots regardless of what they order), perfecting the art of golf apparel.

Tom Hanks and Bill Murray are easily two of the most iconic actors to ever grace us with their existence, and the reputations that they've gained as wayward event crashers are certainly well-deserved. That is why the lives of these two legends are the ultimate #LifeGoals.

Think about it. How great it must be to have lived a successful enough life that you're set to retire at a reasonable age (Tom Hanks is 60, and Bill Murray is 66), and yet still have a job that you love enough to keep on doing for however long you wish. How great it must be to be so beloved that you can go anywhere and do anything, like crash a private party or walk right up on a couple's photo shoot, and be welcomed with the warmest of embraces.

That is the kind of life to which we should all aspire, and it isn't as much a reach as we all think it is. It doesn't take the kind of international acclaim that Bill Murray and Tom Hanks have garnered to have this kind of life.

(Don't listen to him.) You don't have to be rich or famous to be somebody that everybody wants to have around late into life. You don't have to be an irreverent actor to have a job you love. You just have to have the kind of approach to life that Bill Murray and Tom Hanks have shown that the human spirit is entirely capable of taking, and some day you'll find yourself crashing peoples' parties and photoshoots without issue.

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.
