The Top 10 James Franco Characters
http://www.slate.com

James Franco, the man you know and love, has been acting in film and TV for over 20 years and has introduced us to the widest spectrum of characters. There are not many roles that Franco can’t play, and his creativity and commitment is evident time and time again. I finally decided to rank the top characters he’s introduced us to over the years. Which is your favorite?


10.) Scott Smith - “Milk”

You may not have seen Franco play the lover of gay politician Harvey Milk in the late 1970s... And if you haven't, you definitely should.


9.) Alien - “Spring Breakers”

SPRANG BREAK FOREVER... I always wanted to ride in Alien's Z28 Camaro.

8.) Saul Silver - “Pineapple Express”

Franco + Rogen = perfection.

7.) James Franco - “This is The End”

6.) Aron Ralston - “127 Hours”

I don't think I've ever cried and cringed so much during a film.

5.) James Dean - “James Dean

The only one who will ever be able to play James Dean. Period.

4.) Harry Osborn - “Spiderman”

The classic, of course.

3.) Jake Epping - “11.22.63”

Everything about Jake Epping is perfect and this whole show was just a perfect idea.

2.) Dave Skylark - “The Interview”

"'CAUSE BABY YOU'RE A FIIIIIIIIIIREWORK"

1.) Daniel Desario - “Freaks and Geeks”

The mixture of Rogen, Segel, and Franco as '80s high school burnouts is brilliant. Daniel will always be my favorite though.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
