5 Movie Theater Tips
FatMovieGuy

I friggin' love going to the movies. I love previews and seeing what is about to come out. It is one of my favorite things to do. But the costs of going to the movies can be INSANE. So here are some tips to help you out, and also to improve your viewing experience.

1. Bring your own snacks, or scout out your theater before you go. I know this is frowned upon, but it will save you money, and honestly most theater employees don't even care. I went to one of those big chain theaters where tickets are like $12, and brought in a water bottle and some candy. They looked in my bag, and let me go in. Also, some theaters have really cheap food. To my Athens friends, the trip to Fun Barn is worth it. Small drinks and small popcorns are only a DOLLAR.

2. Sit slightly to the right of the middle, and the further back you are, the better the sound. I prefer to be in the middle of the theater, but every now and then when I do sit in the back, the sound is awesome.

3. Join a loyalty program if possible. Some places will offer those, and after a while things add up. You can get discounts on tickets or snacks, and sometimes it gives you the opportunity to order midnight screening tickets first.

4. Use the app "RunPee." It tells you when there’s a lull in the plot so you can go pee. It’ll also tell you if there’s a post-credits scene so you know if you should stick around or not. The app does cost money, but it is worth it if you're an avid movie goer.

5. If the people in your theater are too loud, are rude, the movie's sound is messed up, or your movie-going experience is somehow being ruined, go talk to customer service (politely) within the first 15 minutes. Often they'll give you a free pass, or let you see another movie that is starting around that same time.

Honestly just know your theaters, and you'll be able to figure out the little hacks. And if you make friends with your theater's employees, they'll hook you up.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
