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!

You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.

College students, you might be able to relate to this one. These probably sound familiar because we often tell ourselves these phrases; however, we are unable to follow or agree with these the following, deep down inside of our overwhelmed, tired minds.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"

Until you walk into a 99 cents store and suddenly have the urge to pick up anything that's less than a dollar.
