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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
