Book to Movie: Everything, Everything

Risk everything.... for love

From The #1 New York Bestselling Author, Nicola Yoon, comes a heartfelt story with an ending you'd never expected.

My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, I m allergic to the world.I don t leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla.
But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He's tall, lean and wearing all black black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly.
Maybe we can t predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It s almost certainly going to be a disaster.

[Goodreads]

When I read this book, I was thinking, "This is such an interesting story, I'd love to see it on the big screen." And of course, Hollywood finally decided to adapt this book into a movie.

Amandla Stenberg, plays a girl named Maddie who has a disease called SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency). Maddie has never left her house, because of her condition. Until Olly, played by Nick Robinson, moves right next to Maddie's house. From knowing each other through emails, their relationship develops as well as Maddie's journey.

With the direction from Stella Meghie, Everything, Everything has already got 6.6 stars on IMDb with 254 reviews and 42% on Rotten Tomatoes with 52 reviews. Despite the "okay" ratings and reviews, I still want to see the movie before I have my own opinion. I'm excited to see how the story is being brought to the screen.

Everything, Everything comes out 19th May 2017

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
