6 Reasons Why You Should Attend The Stony Brook Film Festival
Stony Brook

Stony Brook University's 22nd annual Film Festival is currently underway, showcasing amazing films from all around the world every night from now until July 29th. The festival highlights a variety of films from a large variety of places and should be at the top of your Long Island summer bucket list.

Check out the video below to get a glimpse of what is in store for the festival:


If you are still undecided on whether or not you will attend, here are six more reasons why you definitely should:

1. Tickets are only $5 for Stony Brook students!

That's a great price to see such incredible work. General tickets are $12, which is the same price as seeing a movie at Loews. It's even a little cheaper!

2. Seeing a film is a great way to escape this awful heat.

Why be outside in this 90-degree weather when you can be relaxing and watching a movie in an air-conditioned theater?

3. There are films featured from all over the world.

The festival is including feature films and shorts from countries like Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Latvia, and Norway — just to name a few!

4. A few films include women who are the director, writer AND lead actor of their films.

This is the case for the closing night film, "Text For You," and "The Sounding." It's both awesome and important to see women being successful and making such an impact in the film industry.

5. The festival showcases a wide range of movie genres, so there is something everyone will enjoy.

Whether it's romance, comedy, drama, or even animation, you can find a film that suits your interests. Playing on Wednesday, July 26th, a documentary titled "The Second Act of Elliot Murphy" is about the rock musician/ songwriter and will be immediately followed by a live performance from Elliot Murphy himself, which will be a cool experience for everyone.

6. It is a great opportunity to get together with family and friends for a fun night of film.

Overall, the Stony Brook Film Festival is a chance to celebrate family, friends, and film.

Come check it out!

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.
