Not all of them can do as good as 'The Hunger Games'.

There are many succesful young adult movie franchises. Twilight, The Hunger Games and Harry Potter are just a few. But for as many succesful ones, there are just as many franchises that did not work out exactly as they wanted them to. Here are just a few. Hopefully the upcoming 'The Darkest Minds' will have more success.

1. The Mortal Instruments (2013)

Now we have 'Shadowhunters', but there was also a movie based on 'The Mortal Instruments' series written by Cassandra Clare. This movie didn't do as good unfortunately. The movie starred Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower. I personally enjoyed it, but it was very different from the books. 'Shadowhunters' is also very different from the books, but does follow the general storyline.

2. Percy Jackson (2010, 2013)

Percy Jackson lasted two movies! But still the differences from the novels weren't accepted by fans and the movies kind of failed. They were enjoyable, but not what the fans wanted.

3. Beautiful Creatures (2013)

I enjoyed 'Beautiful Creatures' when I first saw the movie, but then I read the book. Honestly they messed this up so bad. The casting was perfect, honestly, but they changed they story so badly that it just couldn't be fixed. Even though the other books really had potential.

4. The 5th Wave (2016)

Same goes for this one. I really liked it, but the general public didn't seem to. I haven't read the book yet, so I can't Judge on the differences. The others aren't being made into film, that's for sure.

5. Divergent (2014, 2015, 2016)

This is quite a sad story. Divergent was made into a movie, same goes for Insurgent and the first half of Allegiant. But because Allegiant did so bad at the box office, the second part of Allegiant, titled Acsendant was brutally cancelled. The last words haven't been said about this, at least that's what they're telling us, because I think they are tho.

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.
