My Latest Obsession: La La Land
Forbes

WARNING!!!! Spoilers will be briefly mentioned


So, La La Land made its debut over a month ago, and I finally got the chance to see it this past weekend. To be precise, I saw it twice. In fact, I developed an obsession within the first few minutes actually.

I had no clue of what to actually write about while listening to the soundtrack on repeat since Friday night. The immediate thought to write about La La Land hit, especially after watching a video by Dodie Clark, who happens to be a fantastic singer and YouTuber (SN: she actually made a cover to a City of Stars which happens to be my favorite song from the movie.) where she spoke about why she loves La La Land so much.

I'll keep this short and simple but here we go!

La La Land.... an extremely relatable heartbreaking love story, shows the struggles of an artist aiming to follow their dreams in two stories which connect to one. A story of love, a story of hopes and dreams, and a story of struggle.

There were so many themes in La La Land, so you just have to watch and see.

The fashion was so adorably LA. The color blocking, the casual everyday-ness, but yet oh so musical. Emma Stone's very cute haircut that is so simple and versatile to every look, Ryan Goslings gelled back hair and light scruff that every girl loves and most guys want, the classic demure style of Emma's character Mia, and the tribute to the early 50's fashion. ALL OF IT... obsessed.

The music was amazing. Like I mentioned my favorite song is "City of Stars", I can't decide which one yet, there are 2 versions; one where it's just Ryan and a duet with Emma, both of which are amazing, My favorite line from the song is "who knows, is this the start of something wonderful and new or one more dream that I cannot make true". But the music of the movie is absolutely wonderful and then there's, of course, the beginning of the opening song in the movie which is called "Another Day of Sun", The piano piece to it makes me so happy and gives me goosebumps.

Hmm... What else can I say? OH, UM there's a scene farther into the movie where you see the entire story from a different perspective which had me all teary-eyed and it's definitely one of my favorite parts in the entire film.

But honestly I think I'll leave it at that. Short and simple huh? SIKE! Haha. Anyways if you guys have seen it and have any opinions on the film. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THEM AND DISCUSS THE FILM WITH YOU

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
