Entertainment Tonight As Well As Every Other Night

Really all humans want is to be amused.

Entertainment Tonight As Well As Every Other Night
Val Goldston

Have you ever stopped to wonder what entertainment actually means? Not the definition, but what it stands for? Could entertainment mean more than just being entertained? Entertainment, is when someone is provided with amusement. Without entertainment humans could not remain sane. Entertainment comes in many types of ways: books, television shows, movies, plays, musicals, music and many more ways.

In books our imagination seems to engulf us in whatever the book may be. For example, when the Percy Jackson series came out, I was so captured by the book I forgot to eat. Not only did I forget to eat but I stayed in bed until I finished the book. Once I had looked at my clock, I realized I had been in bed, awake but reading for six hours. Entertainment has that power over a person.

Have you ever watched an episode of a television show on Netflix and realize you just wasted eight hours of your life? Well then that television show is not worth your time. If a show is not amusing enough to make you want to binge watch the entire series. We as viewers crave what our favorite character will do next. Movies, do the same thing.

One movie changed my life. I know it sounds silly, but this movie was made for our entertainment and instead, this movie made me have a complete different perspective of life. Stuck in Love, took a certain spin on everyday life and love and changed my point of view on the topic of marriage.

Plays and musicals are harder to make. Why could that be?. You get one chance, one time to prove to the audience that you are more than just an entertainer playing a role. As an entertainer, the job is to make them a part of the performance as well. Make them feel like another version of themselves is up there, or make them question their views, beliefs and values.

Music, is by far one of the most widely known forms of entertainment. It has a way of instantly effecting your mood and/or bringing back a memory you tried so hard to keep hidden away. It is strange to think how one song can hold all of those emotions for someone. This is what every form of entertainment strives to do, to stick with you for years on end.

Usually any entertainment company gets the viewer’s money and is supposed to have them walking away feeling like it was not a complete waste of time. Entertaining someone feels like the greatest pat on the back. For example, think back to when your childhood and the feeling you got when you got your first A. The feeling of your heart pounding through your chest. Grinning from ear to ear, ready to get home to show mom and dad so they would put your work on the fridge. It meant you accomplished something. That feeling is what we as entertainers get anytime someone says “oh yeah that really was a wonderful performance.” As an entertainer all we really want is to be heard and be told you are good enough and that what you do matters. Really all humans want is to be amused, entertainment it what allows us that.

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.
