A Film Review of "Wendy and Lucy"

You have to understand that no film will ever be better than Pride and Prejudice, the one with Keira Knightly. Now that is out of the way, let's review.

A Film Review of "Wendy and Lucy"

Honestly, I loved it. I loved that there was no bullshit Hollywood junk in it to make homelessness look glamorous. It was devastatingly tragic, you instantly fall in love with the main character, and you root for her.

I will not spoil it because you need to watch it, but the ending made me cry. Not a loud shoulder sob, but slow hot tears down my face. It shows the realness of what it is like to be homeless.

I really liked this line, I really do not remember the exact words, but basically the gist of it is "you can't get a job without a job. You can't get a home without a home."

That line really stung.

A line I absolutely despised came from the grocery store employee. After he caught Wendy shoplifting, he said to his boss, "if you can't afford dog food, don't have a dog."

Although I kind of understand where this person is coming from, this line did not sit with me well because you could see how much Wendy loved Lucy and how much we cared for that dog.

5/5 recommended. Now, don't go thinking it will be a cheesy rom com, or a predictive action thriller, because this movie definitely is not.

Everyone needs to go and watch it just so they can get into the minds of why some people are homeless, and how terrifying it would be to be a WOMAN and homeless.

That puts it on a different level if you ask me.

Go watch it and tell me if you liked it or not.

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:

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.
