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

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
