5 Reasons You Should Head To A Movie Theater Instead Of Watching Netflix In Your Room

If I don't know anywhere else to go to, in order to spend time with my family and friends, the movie theater is always my first choice.

Despite the general amount of money that one needs to spend in a movie theater, the movie theater is actually a nice way to spend your time. Here are five reasons why:

1. You can watch your film on a big screen

The film that you are anticipating to watch will be finally shown on a big screen and loud audio right in front of you. From the big screen, it provides enough screen time for you to only focus on watching that film. The loud audio also helps you hear everything on what is happening in the film. Also, when waiting for your film to be viewed on the big screen, one can see commercials and trailers on the big screen. You get to see the upcoming films and get even more excited for those when they come to the big screen in movie theaters!

2. There's no one to interrupt you

The movie theater always respects their viewers and audience during a film screening. They want all cell phones silent or shut off. This way, the viewer will not be distracted nor interrupted when watching the film. This is also a perfect time to be only focusing on something else than one's concerns or worries from his or her personal life.

3. There are comfortable seats

Other than a film to watch, the movie theaters also provide a comfortable seat for you to sit on. Some of the movie theaters have their seats to be adjustable which means that you can adjust the seat yourself by pressing the side button, according to how you like it. From my experience, I remember the movie theater I have gone to, I was able to adjust the seat and have my feet up on a leg rest. This is one of the things to look forward to when going to a movie theater!

4. You can eat good food

Usually, I have been told not to eat popcorn and soda a lot because they are unhealthy. However, going to enjoy at the movie theaters is the perfect excuse for me to eat popcorn and soda. Going to the movie theaters is a special occasion for me to eat popcorn and drink soda. For choices for popcorn and soda, I would always choose butter popcorn and root beer. This food and drink combination is my favorite to enjoy when going to the movie theaters.

5. You can spend time with family and friends

If I don't know anywhere else to go to, in order to spend time with my family and friends, the movie theater is always my first choice. Considering that my friends and family love movies, it's always a great activity to do together and pass the time. It's also one of the easiest activities to do. Just buy food, drink, tickets and sit and watch. Sometimes even before the film, we get to chat what to expect and also predict what we might see in the film. Then, during the film, one gets to see his or her friends and family's reactions towards the film which is even more enjoyable to watch than the film. In the end, it's also fun hearing what your friends and family have to say about the movie after one asks them, "Do you enjoy the film?" or "Do you like the film?" Then, we go into a big conversation that might last enough during the trip back home.

In conclusion, going to the movie theaters once in a while is great for fun and relaxation!

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.
