Why I'll Never Skip The Movie Previews

If you have read any of my previous articles, you would know I am a huge movie person. I love going to the movies, buying DVD's and watching them over and over again. One of my favorite parts about going to the movie theater is the trailers before the film. I'm one of those people who would never want to miss the previews, it's the best part of the cinema experience! In some cases, movie trailers can be edited to be even better than the movie itself. I love everything about movie trailers from the music, the epic shots and the way it tells a captivating story in just a few minutes. Since this is something that I am pretty passionate about I felt that I would share a few of my all time favorite movie trailers, which also just so happen to be some of my favorite movies.

1. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows"

"Harry Potter" is my favorite franchise of all time and this is the most EPIC trailer I've ever seen. Everything about it gives me chills and it perfectly captured the conclusion to this masterpiece.

2. "Boyhood"

One of my favorite films of all time, the trailer for "Boyhood" is so simple but so nostalgic, it honestly made me cry the first time I saw it. I knew I loved this movie just by watching the trailer. "Hero" by Family of the Year is also one of my favorite songs because of this.

3. "Les Misérables"

I still remember the first time I saw this trailer. I was in my freshman year of high school and I was standing around my chorus teacher's computer with many of my friends, and we were in complete awe of how beautiful the trailer was. We knew right then that this would be an incredible movie musical, and we were right.

4. "The Social Network"

One of the most creative and inspiring trailers and movies out there, I always find myself watching this because the trailer itself is a work of art. I still think this film was robbed of the Best Picture win but it will always be in my heart.

5. "Brooklyn"

A new favorite film of mine, this trailer just hits me right in the feels. Maybe it's because of my Irish background, my aspiration to live in the city, or my love for love, this movie makes me feel complete and it deserves more appreciation.

I love a good indie movie, but I notice that 4/5 of the trailers I put here are best-picture nominees, which makes me think, do the critically acclaimed films have better produced trailers than independent unknown films? Let me know what you think and share some of your favorite movie trailers, I'd love to watch them.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

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!
