10 Of My Favorite Film Scores

I'll be the first to admit I'm not a movie buff. At a certain point I get impatient because I just want to know how it ends. Yet it's no secret that I have a deep love for music. So when I do watch movies, the music is what usually tends to keep my attention.

In my opinion, film scores are completely underrated. The original music that is written for films is so essential, and I tend to pick up on it during every movie I watch. It's what causes the tear to shed from my eye. Or the chuckle that escapes my mouth (and maybe the storyline contributes too, but that's beside the point).

A few of these movies aren't the greatest, I know. But the composers of these scores (and the scores themselves) are fantastic and worth a listen.

I've included my favorite song from each score as a little "test taster" before you decide you want to listen to the rest of the album in its entirety.

1. Copenhagen - Agatha Kaspar

2. Love, Simon - Rob Simonsen

3. Amélie - Yann Tiersen

4. Age of Adaline - Rob Simonsen

5. La La Land - Justin Hurwitz

6. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - John Williams

This one is my ultimate favorite!

7. Breaking Dawn (Pt. 1) - Carter Burwell

8. Edward Scissorhands - Danny Elfman

9. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Pt. 1) -Alexandre Desplat

10. Divergent - Junkie XL

I hope this list has blessed your ears today; and I hope the next time you watch a movie, the score catches your attention!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
