Will Leonardo DiCaprio Finally Win An Oscar?

And more importantly, what will happen to those memes mocking him about it?

Will Leonardo DiCaprio Finally Win An Oscar?

On Jan. 30, Leonardo DiCaprio won the Screen Actors Guild award for Best Actor for his role as 19th century fur trapper Hugh Glass in "The Revenant." In it, DiCaprio's character ends up being mauled by a bear and left for dead by his own huntsmen. While I have not seen the film yet, based on the trailer alone, I would be surprised if the film is not up for Oscars in other categories like Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, and Best Director.

This is the first time that DiCaprio has won a Screen Actors Guild award, though he has been nominated many times, including for his roles in "J. Edgar," "The Departed," and "The Aviator." While this is a huge accomplishment in itself, this also means a lot for DiCaprio in terms of his odds for winning the Oscar for Best Actor this year. For the past ten years in a row, the same actor that has won the SAG award has gone on to win the Oscar as well.

This is big news. Leonardo DiCaprio has been notorious for just barely not getting an Oscar. In fact, the Internet has jokingly mocked him for it by creating dozens of memes about it. If he wins, what will happen to all of the Leonardo DiCaprio Oscar-related memes like these?

I suppose Internet users will have to find someone else to create tons of memes about. If you think about it, it is much better for people to be outraged that Leonardo DiCaprio hasn't won an Oscar than for people to be outraged that he had. Regardless, it seems like the movie has incredible reviews, so I encourage everyone to check it out. Tune in to see how it plays out for Leonardo DiCaprio on Feb. 28 on ABC.

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.

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

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
