11 Movies You Must Watch

So everyone goes on and on about the movies that are at the theater. Those can be expensive unless you live close to a movie theater that doesn't charge $15 a bucket of popcorn. I decided to compile a list of movies you can either watch alone or with friends and all these movies are out on DVD.

1. Patriot's Day (2016)

Okay, I will tell you this right now, I love Mark Wahlberg. I love most of his movies and I am a complete sucker for him but all of that aside, this movie is brilliant. This movie details the events of the Boston bombing. It is suspenseful, will leave in tears and on the edge of your seat. I cannot recommend this movie enough if you want a movie that immerses you.

2. Captain America: Civil War (2016)

I know probably most people have seen this movie, but I cannot bring myself to leave it off this list. I love Marvel movies to death and this one is no different. I saw it immediately after I came home from my freshman year. This is a good one to watch with friends or even by yourself if you're a superhero mood. Plus, Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie are bae.

3. Jurassic World (2015)

I will tell you a secret: I saw this movie more than once in the theaters. How many times you ask? About four times. I went three separate times with three different friends then I went by myself. That's how good this movie is. I am a complete sucker for Chris Pratt and dinosaurs. This movie is so great, I cannot recommend it any more than I already have. I love it so much.

4. Chef (2014)

My mom, my sister, and I watched this movie together. This movie is so hilarious. It's a hidden gem, I did not pay any attention to this movie until my mom found it on Netflix. It's a family friendly movie that I enjoyed. I highly recommend that you watch this movie.

5. Fast & Furious Series (2001-present)

The Fast and The Furious series is one my favorite series ever. I have watched every movie in this series at least three times. My favorite in this series is the "Fast Five" as shown above. This is the movie that introduces Dwayne Johnson's character and I love the Rock so much. This movie is just so action packed, I love it.

6. Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

Oh wow, another Chris Pratt movie, shocker right? Aside from the fact that I love Chris Pratt, this movie is perfect. I love Gamora so much and also Groot. I love almost every character in this movie. This movie is a perfect movie to sit back and enjoy with friends. Just don't remind me this came out 3 years ago, it seems like it was last summer.

7. Kevin Hart: What Now? (2016)

Here's another fact about me: I love Kevin Hart. He is my favorite comedian, hands down. He's so funny in this standup that I cried tears. I watched this in the dorm with some of my friends and we were all dying of laughter.

8. Gridiron Gang (2006)

This movie is a classic, in my terms. My sister and I watch this movie everytime it's on T.V. If you have no seen this movie, I highly recommend it. Plus, Dwayne Johnson is awesome, am I right?

9. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

This movie is amazing. It's a romance with the perfect amount of sass and strong female characters. I love Kat, the main character. I think this is a perfect movie to watch with your girl friends.

10. The Departed (2006)

Another classic of mine. This movie is amazing. It will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time and there are plot twists all around. It's amazing.

11. Spotlight (2015)

This movie will you wide eyed. It recounts the events leading up to the story published by The Boston Globe that revealed the sexual assaults in the Catholic Church. My mother and I watched it and we loved it. There's a reason why it won best picture.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.
