Why I HATE Movie Theaters

They're repulsive.

I hate movie theaters. I really hate them. I find them disgusting and raunchy. I know that most people love movie theaters but some people don't. Movie theaters are great in an essence, but just think of all the disgusting things that are there.

1. The food tastes like cardboard.

The only way that you can make the popcorn taste good is if you drown it in liquified butter. It's not even butter, it's an oil that has an artificial butter flavor. So you're just eating chemicals and trans fat. The nachos that you can get tastes stale, and the "cheese" to go alongside with it tastes like the cheese that you can squeeze out of a bottle. The only good thing would be the candy or the fountain drinks.

2. The movie seats are never clean.

Have you ever noticed that before you sit down you have to wipe it down with your hands or a napkin because there's popcorn on the seat? Well let me tell you...the seats are never cleaned, even the leather ones. They are just replaced every 10-15 years. So when you think about it...you could easily get sick, or even lice because lice love warmth, and would love to jump in your hair. Remember that next time.

3. Teenagers are nasty.

We've all been there during our teen years, where we go to the movies to make out, because our parents don't know that we've started kissing boys/girls at the age of 13. Well just going off experience, and not me of course but seeing it, teenagers also like to have sex in these seats. Especially the ones in the back corners of the dark theater. So next time if you hear something NOT coming from the movie, I would recommend not turning around.

4. Tickets are expensive now.

Tickets used to cost maybe 10 dollars when I was about 12 years old. Now that I am 18, they cost around 15 to 20 dollars for ONE TICKET. That's crazy. Especially for a college student. I would rather save that money for food, and wait until the movie is on Netflix, Hulu, or out in the stores. It's just not worth the cost, including when you add the "food".

I hope that this might help you take a better look at movie theaters the next time you want to go. I know it's gross but it's sadly the truth. Just remember that it is too expensive and not worth your time or money.

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.
