11 Movies You Must Watch

So everyone goes on and on about the movies that are at the theater. Those can be expensive unless you live close to a movie theater that doesn't charge $15 a bucket of popcorn. I decided to compile a list of movies you can either watch alone or with friends and all these movies are out on DVD.

1. Patriot's Day (2016)

Okay, I will tell you this right now, I love Mark Wahlberg. I love most of his movies and I am a complete sucker for him but all of that aside, this movie is brilliant. This movie details the events of the Boston bombing. It is suspenseful, will leave in tears and on the edge of your seat. I cannot recommend this movie enough if you want a movie that immerses you.

2. Captain America: Civil War (2016)

I know probably most people have seen this movie, but I cannot bring myself to leave it off this list. I love Marvel movies to death and this one is no different. I saw it immediately after I came home from my freshman year. This is a good one to watch with friends or even by yourself if you're a superhero mood. Plus, Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie are bae.

3. Jurassic World (2015)

I will tell you a secret: I saw this movie more than once in the theaters. How many times you ask? About four times. I went three separate times with three different friends then I went by myself. That's how good this movie is. I am a complete sucker for Chris Pratt and dinosaurs. This movie is so great, I cannot recommend it any more than I already have. I love it so much.

4. Chef (2014)

My mom, my sister, and I watched this movie together. This movie is so hilarious. It's a hidden gem, I did not pay any attention to this movie until my mom found it on Netflix. It's a family friendly movie that I enjoyed. I highly recommend that you watch this movie.

5. Fast & Furious Series (2001-present)

The Fast and The Furious series is one my favorite series ever. I have watched every movie in this series at least three times. My favorite in this series is the "Fast Five" as shown above. This is the movie that introduces Dwayne Johnson's character and I love the Rock so much. This movie is just so action packed, I love it.

6. Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

Oh wow, another Chris Pratt movie, shocker right? Aside from the fact that I love Chris Pratt, this movie is perfect. I love Gamora so much and also Groot. I love almost every character in this movie. This movie is a perfect movie to sit back and enjoy with friends. Just don't remind me this came out 3 years ago, it seems like it was last summer.

7. Kevin Hart: What Now? (2016)

Here's another fact about me: I love Kevin Hart. He is my favorite comedian, hands down. He's so funny in this standup that I cried tears. I watched this in the dorm with some of my friends and we were all dying of laughter.

8. Gridiron Gang (2006)

This movie is a classic, in my terms. My sister and I watch this movie everytime it's on T.V. If you have no seen this movie, I highly recommend it. Plus, Dwayne Johnson is awesome, am I right?

9. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

This movie is amazing. It's a romance with the perfect amount of sass and strong female characters. I love Kat, the main character. I think this is a perfect movie to watch with your girl friends.

10. The Departed (2006)

Another classic of mine. This movie is amazing. It will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time and there are plot twists all around. It's amazing.

11. Spotlight (2015)

This movie will you wide eyed. It recounts the events leading up to the story published by The Boston Globe that revealed the sexual assaults in the Catholic Church. My mother and I watched it and we loved it. There's a reason why it won best picture.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
