Adrift Movie

This summer, I have found myself to be in a cycle. I go to my internship three days a week and work for a mere fifteen hours and then It seems like almost every evening I find myself at the movie theatre. It really isn't even night, but It sure is most nights. Because of this, I've already seen my fair share of summer flicks already (and there's still a lot coming out), some of which were great, and some of which were not so great- so, here is my definitive list, ranked from best to worst.

1. Solo.

This one was SO great. Definitely numero uno on the list thus far. Chronologically, It is the first Star Wars movie, so even for people that have not had the honor of seeing a Star Wars film before, this is a great one to get you started. You don't have to have any background knowledge of the Star Wars universe to fully enjoy the storyline of this movie.

2. Adrift.

I just saw this one tonight, and let me tell you that It almost beat out Solo for the number one slot. Going into this one, I didn't know what to expect. It seemed, from the trailers, that It might be corny and over exaggerated. What I didn't realize from the trailers, however, was that the storyline of the movie was based on a real event. Looking up the real story after I got out of the theatre made the movie so much more interesting and I for sure want to go see It again, knowing what I know now because there is a HUGE plot twist!

3. Ocean's 8.

This was such a fun movie to watch. The girl power was all there and I loved every second of It. Its all about stealing a necklace from someone attending the Met Gala (no, that's not a spoiler), so It is full of jewels and beautiful outfits. Each scene provided a new outfit I want in my closet, a new beautiful diamond necklace, and a new twist, as these ladies try and lift the worlds most expensive necklace.

4. Book Club.

This movie was just flat out hilarious. I was in a packed theatre with a slightly older crowd and at points, the whole room would burst into a fit of laughter. It made It so funny that everyone in the audience seemed to be enjoying It as much as I was. This isn't the kind of movie I would go to for some deep thoughts, but It was fun and I still highly recommend It if you're looking for a laugh.

5. Infinity War.

Okay, I might get some hate for how low own this one is on the list (sorry, Marvel fans) but this one had a lot of things that went over my head. Thankfully my boyfriend is a bit of a Marvel nerd, so when I had questions about a character or plot point, I could whisper to him and he always had an answer. I think if I had seen ALL of the movies before this one, I would have loved It, but I haven't, so It falls to number 5.

6. Life of the Party.

Again, this is just another funny movie. There were a lot of good lines that made me, and my group of friends, laugh out loud. Other than that though, the plot line was lacking. After we walked out of the theatre, my friends and I all commented that we thought the film was funny, but we were confused about a significant number of plot lines that the movie did not wrap up. This is a good movie to put on in the background and laugh at occasionally, but It is at the bottom of my list!

All this goes to say, that without my MoviePass, this summer would look a little bit like a bust. Don't worry y'all, It might seem like I've seen all the movies that there are to see, and as of tonight i have, but thankfully the movie industry has my back. I can't wait for Incredibles 2, Tag and maybe even Jurassic World. Who knows what flicks this summer will bring me! Cheers, MoviePass!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
