6 Old School Movies That Are Perfect For A Snow Day
Mikhail Vasilyev

What better way to spend a snow day than nestling into the couch with a drink and a blanket and watching good movies? While waiting out this last snow day, I spent some time thinking about my favorite movies with an old school feel. Some movies are relatable and some are more of a day-dream, but they’re all pretty nostalgic. Next snow day pour some Kalua in that hot chocolate, crash on the couch, and watch a day’s worth of good movies!

1. Dazed and Confused

Unfortunately, I am not able to relate to this one since I was pretty sheltered in high school. But I like to think I was a more sociable and outgoing kid in a past life. Dazed and Confused is set in the late 70's as a class of middle school students begin their last summer before they enter high school. The best parts of this movie? Good old rock n roll music and cool old cars!

2. Almost Famous

This movie is wishful thinking for me. I can only dream of touring with a band as a blooming journalist! Almost Famous is set 70's as a budding music-loving journalist accidentally goes on tour with Stillwater while writing for Rolling Stone Magazine. The best parts: good old rock 'n roll and travel!

3. Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?

This movie straight up has good music. The story line is what really gets me. It’s a crime comedy set in the late 30's in rural Mississippi and loosely based on Homer’s The Odyssey. And it’s an awesome story!

4. The Help

Okay, this movie is set in the early 60's in Jackson, Mississippi. Three black women work in white homes while Skeeter writes a revealing book about their lives. I’m not able to relate to it, but I love the idea of writing a life-changing book!

5. The Secret Life of Bees

Lily spends the summer of 1964 in Sylvan, South Carolina with her abusive father and their housekeeper. Lily, with the help of Rosaleen, and begins her search to find out what really happened to her mother. The story gives you a good old timey feeling with a bittersweet ending.

6. Dead Poets Society

As a book nerd, I love this story to no end. It has scandal, books, learning, breaking away from the typical education system, and Robin Williams! Oh Captain, my Captain! Set at a Vermont boarding school in the late 50's, Mr. Keating teaches his elite students to live their lives as they want. This movie has history, drama, and a love of learning. The best part: Robin Williams!

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.
