SPOILERS!

Arrival was a shocking movie. I won't say too much but there will be some small spoilers but I won't spoil too much for you all and then I will do a complete review in a month when more people have seen it.

At the beginning I was thinking, "Ok, she became a teacher after someone died." but that will come to you towards the end of the movie and you figure out what the very beginning was all about. She is a teacher though and she is a language expert from animals to other languages from humans. Obviously, this is an alien movie so I was expecting tiny aliens but instead you get huge friendly aliens. What I love most about Louise is that she wanted to treat this the right way and to understand them more than to come out with questions so she taught them the English language but they write with smoke so they would understand what an English word means and then respond in their language. Their language is not sound, it's symbols. So, Louise and Ian both learned the alien's language as well so the four of them (two aliens and Louise and Ian) could talk to each other. You also learn, which is true, when you start learning a language it comes naturally to you and you start to understand it more and more fluently which is what Louise did. I won't say much more about it but I recommend this movie so please go see it! IT'S OUT NOW!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
