Funny Movie Lines That Will Make Your Day Better
What’s so funny, dude? Is there a comedy on TV or something? We’ve all heard some movie quotes that make us laugh really hard. I know that a good laugh can change a person's mood and some movie lines can brighten someone's day. Laughter is a great way to release serotonin and make a person happier even if it's just for a short amount of time. In every movie, there are a few lines that stick out. I find that in comedies, there are many lines that stick out and picking the best ones are hard to do. I created a list below with the funniest lines that I’ve ever heard.

Best Parts of Being an Intern
There are many pros to being an intern at a company. Most people think that the "intern" doesn't do much but I am here to explain why interns do more than you would think. For example, whenever the office needs someone to get Starbucks, the intern is there to do it. Also, whenever someone needs to take out the trash, the intern is there. In my previous experiences as an intern, I have noticed that watching other peoples' work ethic and seeing what they are doing is very helpful. Also, in the office, there are going to be some people that you don't like or are not particularly happy to answer to. You need to just accept it and deal with it. Your there to gain experience and learn the business. DO WHAT IS TOLD AT ALL TIMES! When the boss says something, listen carefully. They don't like it when they have to repeat themselves. I know from experience. That movie reference was needed for laughing purposes only. In addition, I have seen many instances where an intern doesn't get paid the most attention. Learning how to feel comfortable with that is key. You don't want to get down because you aren't being called a lot.

Things You Should Never Bring On A Flight
There are a few things that you should not bring on any flight. It is a known fact that bringing weapons of any kind on a flight is a very bad idea with severe consequences. You will go to jail. Also, bringing pets is another no go. You don’t want to have to deal with a barking dog or meowing cat. Avoid bringing liquids too. These will be taken away at the security part of the airport. There have been cases of terrorist trying to bring in liquid bombs. Lastly, avoid bringing lighters and sharp objects on planes. This is a given as you will be searched and questioned for bringing flammables. Overall, follow these flight etiquette rules and you will not be punished for your actions.

He wields a red lightsaber to kill others and is the most popular character in the Star Wars series.

Dear Donald, Don't Back Down To Your Enemies
Dear Mr. Trump, Despite all the negativity surrounding your presidency, I feel that you have been surprisingly smart in a few areas of significance. You stand up to Iran and North Korea and don't seem to care about the threats they send our way. As an American citizen, I feel a sense of pride when it comes to our army defending our country and making sure terrorists don't come into our country and kill innocent people. Based off of your words, the people will benefit in the long run. You have said that you will fend off any intruders in Iran who want to come to our country and suicide bomb themselves or put innocent people in danger. We are determined to defend ourselves in Syria and North Korea as you have said. We are able to use our amazing army and thwart any possible disasters that could come about in the nuclear weapon saga. As I write this, you are putting more and more pressure on Iran to not attack us because of our incredible nuclear weapons. If they start up, you will not back down. That is why I believe you have been doing a great job at keeping our enemies scared and afraid to attack. A big part of this safety process is for Iran and North Korea to dismantle their nuclear weapons. We are at war with evil. Evil has grown for the past eight years & more. You are the first man to not to sit by and let the hate continue. You said recently that North Korea will "face fire and fury like the world has never seen," if they keep threatening our nation. This is a very bold remark to say and re enforces the notion that we won't back down from this enemy of ours. In the video, you can see how direct and powerful your intentions are. I truly believe that without these type of bold messages, our enemies would be less afraid of us. We need a leader who is willing to stand up and say it like it is. While Obama was a great speaker, he was never a great quick to the point kind of guy. When was the last time you remember a president saying that he will wipe out another country if they attack us. You have the most powerful job in the world and everyone is going to try to put you down and say that you are no good. I am writing to you to say that you have to do what is best for the country and what is in the best interest for the people. Haters gonna hate. On a side note, in recent months, you have turned to China for help in containing North Korea and on June 20, you tweeted that "While I greatly appreciate the efforts of President Xi & china to help with North Korea, it has not worked out. At least I know China tried!" By the end of July, though, you were growing impatient with China: "...they do NOTHING for us with North Korea, just talk. We will no longer allow this to continue. China could easily solve this problem," you tweeted. At least you gave it a try and went out of your way to seek help from China. If North Korea thinks that it would be smart to send a nuclear missile our way, they are really naive and unintelligent. According to retired Air Force general, Tom McInerney"If he gets our full nuclear retaliatory capability, within minutes after one round going into Seoul, there will be nothing left," McInerney told Fox's Liz Claman on "Countdown to the Closing Bell." He claims that we can take out the entire region in 15 minutes! Beware North Koreans. You're messing with the wrong country. Nuclear weapons are no joke and we have plenty of them to wipe out our enemies. So Sir, not backing down to your enemies will be a big step in gaining back the popularity of the people and it will be the best outcome for our country in the future.

Dear Trump...
Dear Donald Trump, This is not a reality show. You might think it is but I'm telling you, it's not. You are not going to succeed at this debacle of a presidency. You will be brought down. All the jokes and lies need to end. What you might think is a funny joke, some believe is a horrible joke. America is really worried at the direction that you're taking us. You act in strange ways and say stupid things. You behave in a childish manner and don't seem to care about what the press has to say. I'll repeat it again. This is not a reality show, Sir.

Dear President Trump, Think About Your Family
Dear Mr. Trump, In the last couple of months since you took over as President of the US, you have diminished more than just your own name, but rather, your entire family’s name too. Melania and you are in the midst of a very complicated and unusual relationship and it is believed by some that you don’t even care for each other (Is Melania really just in it for the money and fame?). Recently, you tried to grab Melania’s hand after leaving the airplane on your Middle East trip & she nudged your hand away and gave you a dirty look. Also, your daughter, Ivanka has been severely scrutinized by the media mostly because of your wrongdoings. As President, you must start to think about your family before you bring them all down. I write this letter to you, Mr. President to challenge you to change your values, integrity, and approach for the country and for your own family.

Marvel Movie Guide for Stoners
Who doesn’t smoke weed these days? It is very popular and people are enjoying their Mary Jane daily. Walk the streets of NYC and try not to smell it for 10 blocks. With all the stresses in people's lives, smoking some weed and getting high calms people down. You can sit on the couch for hours without even knowing how much time has passed. A big part of being high is the state of apathy that occurs and watching a movie while high is always a blast, except if it is a horror film. Don’t watch Sinister while high... trust me. Another one to stay away from is Playtest and the Black bear on Black Mirror.

Unbelievable Worst Case Scenarios for President Trump
In American history, we haven’t seen a president like Donald Trump. He is an arrogant, bombastic, and even a buffoon, if you will, type of president. Trump is on pace to be the 3rd US president to get impeached by his own political party. In this article, I will go over the "what-if" scenarios that could occur out of Trump's mysterious actions. As the man himself once said, "What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate”. With each new twist of fate in his presidency, we are experiencing many negative reactions. For example...
