I Am A Cinephile And Here's Why

Movies are the best.

I LOVE MOVIES. Sometimes I daydream about going home, getting into comfy clothes and streaming a good movie. Who doesn't love a good movie? When someone tells me that they don't watch movies for fun, I just look at them like they're crazy.

When I was little I grew up not having WiFi or cable. But, I did have a VCR and a DVD player, and of course, hundreds of movies. So what my brother and I would do is watch movies all the day. My mom was a huge movie goer so she would show us and take us to the movies all the time. Going to the movies was a treat for my family, and if we couldn't go we would rent movies from Blockbuster. Yes, our town still had a Blockbusters but up until 2018. We even had a Hollywood Video. Give a shout out if you know what I mean. My family and I watched so many movies that we could recite and quote them. It wasn't until 2017 that my mom finally got cable and internet with a stable subscription to Netflix. This opened so many doors!

Now, every weekend me and my boyfriend look forward to watching movies or going to the movie theatres. Watching movies or even TV shows is a great way to just relax apart from the real world. You see different perspectives and new viewpoints from directors and their art form. Movies have some of the best stories and quotes ever. There is something so captivating about a story. Movies bring out the binging animals in us, especially with TV shows.

Movies can make you cry, scared, anxious, excited, heartfelt- pretty much any emotion ever! Movies and film bring people together and make movements. The 2017 year had amazing movies and I still have yet to see all of them!

Don't think that I'm a hermit crab. I love going outdoors and spending time with people. But what is also great is watching a movie together and having whole conversation on that crazy ending!

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.
