Who said indulgence was just about ice-cream and bath-bomb baths? Coming from someone that views watching movies as a form of obtaining pure happiness, what else would it be?

When school is in session, I tend to appreciate the small things in life such as naps, doing nothing, and watching a good movie and/or a show. Because I am a film major, there isn't a better activity to do than to relax while studying how the storyline is being told through the shots.

There's just this one thing that grinds my gears. An audience that doesn't properly watch a movie right. Learning that there are so much time and effort that's put into a movie, I'm here to teach those annoying folk how to pay attention. Here's a list of common courtesy rules that everyone should adhere to...

1. Stop eating noisy foods!

Okay, so it's time to sit down and watch a movie. You're surrounded by a bunch of snacks but of course, someone brought a bag of chips to the room. Not a big deal until the bad guy is about to be revealed and instead of being pulled into the plot twist, you are suddenly distracted by the sound of the Lays bag being opened vigorously as they pretend to be low-key.

Then, there's the unsettling sound of someone smacking their lips as they suck the salt off their fingers. You then start to realize that the bad guy is actually not the one on the screen. STICK TO POPCORN AND SOUR PATCH KIDS.

2. Put your phone down!

I get it. I really do. You have to check to see if your boyfriend liked that bitch's picture again for the 5th time this month so you can text him that this is the last time it's going to happen. Forget about the movie that you claimed to have wanted to see it for a long time. That's fine, but maybe just look at the other screen instead so you can actually keep up with what's going on instead of pretending like you liked it when it's done?

3. Pee before you sit down!


I know you're going to give me the famous "but I didn't have to go before" again but let's be honest here, it's your fault you drank that much. You knew this would happen because it happens every damn time. Stop making me pause the movie for you and your bladder.

4. Stop asking dumb questions.

"Who's Voldemort?" First of all, let me just suggest to actually watch the movie. Your questions may or may not be answered.

5. Shut the hell up!


If I hear you make another comment while the characters are exchanging dialogue, I'm going to pause and rewind until you know to just stop. If you wanted to talk, it's not here. Save it for when the movie's over or during our MANY intermission breaks. No wonder why you're confused.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
