Best Picture:

“Call Me by Your Name”

This dramatic coming-of-age film has found success with the multitudes and with the critics. It's the story of a young man living in Italy with his family who becomes enamored with his father's assistant over the course of a summer, when eventually they begin a romantic and sexual relationship. It's visually stunning and "artsy", and the story is so much more then it seems.


“Darkest Hour”

"Darkest Hour" is a period piece set in Britain during World War II. It covers the experience of Winston Churchill as he fights with his parliament during the real events of Dunkirk and overall, the beginning of the war.


“Dunkirk”

Another World War II period piece, "Dunkirk" follows the story of the evacuation by three means (air, land, and sea) by telling the story of a smaller group of men. The film has very little dialogue but rather uses the music and the shots to tell the story.


“Get Out”

One of the most critically acclaimed horror films of 2017, "Get Out" follows Chris, a black man, as he meets his white girlfriend's family for the first time and notices something off about the black workers in the home. Literally, anything more would spoil it, but it is worth a watch if you haven't seen it already.


“Lady Bird”

"Lady Bird" is another coming-of-age feature about a teenage girl coming into her own and her struggle with her mother.


“Phantom Thread”

This dark film follows the relationship of a renowned fashion designer and a waitress who becomes his muse.


“The Post”

This film follows the story of a woman angered by the slowness of the legal process after her daughter is raped and murdered by an unknown man.

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?

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.
