5 Movies That Will Totally Make You Nostalgic

Summer is the best time to catch up on all the films you may have missed while you were busy at school, but don’t forget to make time for some old favorites.

1. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

This is a classic for most of us, and if you’ve never seen it I would highly recommend. Though it was targeted toward children, there are a lot of lessons we adults can take from it as well. For me, it was almost like seeing it with fresh eyes after the year of intense theological learning I’ve done, and this time through I feel like I really understood what C. S. Lewis was trying to say. Bonus if you also reread the books.

2. The Princess Diaries 1 and 2

Classic Anne Hathaway will take you back to the days of slumber parties and “My mom won’t let me watch PG rated movies, we have to watch something else.” Though this time around it was much more obvious to me that the “15-year-olds” in the movie were really all probably in their late teens to early twenties, it is a blast from the past that renews your faith in girl power and makes you want to call your grandmother.

3. Star Wars

With all these newfangled Star Wars movies coming out, one can forget the true charm of the early special effects. Sometimes it's nice to get rid of all the shiny bells and whistles and go back to the days of Jar Jar Binks, no matter how much you cringe.

4. High School Musical

Even though Zac Efron let everyone down when the 10th anniversary rolled around, there is never not a reason to watch High School Musical again. Get a bunch of your friends together and break out the choreography you had no idea you still remembered. We’re all in this together!

5. Camp Rock

While you’re in sing-along mode, why not revisit Demi Lovato in the days when “Who’s your favorite Jonas?” was still a legitimate indicator of someone’s personality? Though the brightly colored leggings under jean skirts may be a thing of the past, this movie reminds us to always be who we truly are inside. Now, if we could only figure out who that is?

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.
