8 Reasons Why “Interstellar” Is A Masterpiece

Interstellar has been a huge hit in the theaters, and there is no mystery as to why. Here are some reasons why it is arguably one of the best movies of the decade:   


1. The special effects are out-of-this-world.
The graphics are unreal. You will feel like you are on a space expedition yourself, crashing into other planets and exploring the terrain. The visual effects are so clear; you will think you are looking at the actual Milky Way Galaxy.

2. Matthew McConaughey… need I say more? 

McConaughey’s acting skills have exponentially improved over the years. He just won an Oscar for his talents in “Dallas Buyers Club,” but he proves that they are stronger than ever by his role in “Interstellar.” I could swoon over his dreamy looks and charming voice all day, but I was genuinely impressed and convinced by the determined character he plays in this movie.  

3. Lasting inspiration.
It’s normal (especially for dreamers like me) to leave a movie such as this one, feeling inspired and driven to make a difference in the world. Usually, the feeling lasts for a few hours and is gone once the movie-hype has faded. Interstellar leaves you feeling, knowing, that you can make a change if you believe. Sounds corny now, but you won’t think so after you watch. 

4. The most entertaining 3 hours of your life.
As ADD as I am, I never thought I would be able to sit through a 3-hour movie without either falling asleep or getting ants-in-my-pants. I didn’t check my watch one time. Truth is—I didn’t want the movie to end! It’s amazing how entertaining this movie remains throughout the entire duration.  

5. Constant “WOW” moments.
Speaking of being entertained the whole time, you will consistently be blown away. I found myself covering my mouth in disbelief, gasping, and in pure awe, several times throughout this theatrical work-of-art.

6. Covers the full range of emotions.
I can honestly say I have never seen a movie that hits possibly every emotion I have ever felt. You will laugh at nerdy jokes, cry at heart-warming family moments, and become angry at stubborn characters. Not to mention, I sobbed like a baby (embarrassingly…gasping for air, the whole nine yards).

7. The whole cast works together as a terrific team. 
Every actor and actress seems so natural throughout the entire film. Never do you feel awkward for the characters because of unnatural behavior or cheesy acting. Obviously, Matthew McConaughey brings it, but Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, Tofer Grace, and Michael Caine are also among the movie’s talented crew.

8. Your intelligence will increase… maybe.
Not only will you learn from this movie (although some of it is fictional and far-fetched), you will feel inspired to learn more. I have always found constellations intriguing and the moon a beautiful creation, but I now have a real curiosity and interest in space and what it beholds. This movie will make your imagination run wild.       


If have you haven’t already seen “Interstellar,” or want to see it again and again (as in my case), I have no doubt that you won’t be disappointed.

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.
