7 Moments in "Get Out" That Were Hilarious

It was revealed this past week that Jordan Peele’s 2017 film "Get Out," which centers around a black man slowly discovering the dark practices of his white girlfriend’s family, has been classified by the Golden Globes as a comedy. This sparked a lot of controversy among fans of the film, arguing that the category trivializes the struggle of POC. However, I think that's simply preposterous. Every scene of "Get Out" had me rolling on the floor with laughter. Here are just a few of those gut-busting moments:

1. When the police ask Chris for his ID

2. Missy forcing Chris to talk about his mother’s death

She made him relive his childhood trauma, just to psychologically manipulate him. That's some A-grade comedy, if I do say so myself.

3. The Sunken Place

I can't think of anything funnier than the idea of a black man being unable to fight back, while his attackers do whatever they want to him. Can you?

4. The Auction

People were actually bidding on another human being, so that he could fulfill their own sick desires! It's like a slave trade! #LOL

5. Rose looking for her next victim


You can't help but laugh at Rose’s overconfidence that she can successfully seduce these men and get away with destroying their lives.

6. Walter committing suicide


Imagine how hilarious it'd be to commit suicide, because it's the only way to kill your oppressor. Comedic gold at its finest!

7. When Rose Tries to Get Help From the Police


A classic comedic trope is when a white woman tries to wrongfully accuse a black man of a crime. It gets me every time!

As you can see, Get Out is the epitome of a great comedy movie! How it's just being recognized as such is beyond me. Hopefully, it’ll win the Golden Globe’s “Best Comedy” award. I'm sure that we’ll never see “comedy” like this again.

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.
