It's no secret that Imperative Entertainment purged Kevin Spacey from the movie, 'All The Money in The World,' after multiple allegations of unwanted sexual advances were reported about him last year. Director Ridley Scott replaced Spacey with Christopher Plummer and, in one week, re-filmed all of the scenes involving him before the film came out on December 25th.

Although the quick turn around in filming was impressive, for staff and actors alike, the movie has recently come under criticism for the pay problem thats come to light. It's been reported that, while Michelle Williams came back to reshoot the required scenes for $80 per diem (totaling less than $1000), Mark Wahlberg wasn't as benevolent with his time. Entertainment weekly reported that, while the rest of the cast came back and "did it for nothing," Wahlberg renegotiated for a $1.5 million payout.

It's argued that Michelle, and others, offered to work without renegotiating, however the point still stands that, for the sake of equality, appearances, or even kindness, they could've at least told her about the astronomical gap in pay. I mean, I may have reconsidered after seeing how high they would go for Mark Wahlberg!

With everything thats going on in Hollywood, this sparked new fervor about gender inequality. When you look at the math, Michelle was payed less than 1% than her male counterpart, and men and women alike are outraged by the gap in pay.

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.
