What to watch during quarantine

Since our world got turned upside down, I'll admit I've been spending a lot of time watching movies. If not to escape from the often sad reality, but to broaden my horizons. Here is a short list of some of my favorite movies I've watched during these past few months!

Ladybird (2018)

A beautifully written, wonderfully executed coming-of-age movie. The subtle humor and painfully real strained parent-child relationships within this story makes this movie incredible relatable.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

An extremely intriguing story with a heartbreaking romance. The strangeness of this idea is what immediately draws you in, but then the life-long wisdom and unconditional love keeps you viciously committed.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (2010)

The unadulterated humor and refreshing film-style of this move is what makes it one of my favorites of all time. Scott Pilgrim is a perfectly real protagonist with an extremely outlandish story which makes it all the more fun to watch.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)

A beautifully unique art-style with consistent humor and drama. This movie is a comfort for its ability to be re-watched endlessly along with its hyper-compelling and relatable protagonist, Miles Morales.

The Help (2011)

One of the most compelling stories ever told, from start to finish. This movie will make you laugh, cry, cheer, and yell. It's a must watch, especially for the times we live in.

Although this is a relatively short list, these movies are all ones that I can watch over and over without getting tired of them. During a time like this, we should all be exploring new things- whether that be books, hobbies, shows, movies, or even practices. I hope you can find something you enjoy regardless of the circumstance.

Happy watching!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
