Whenever someone says "Back to the Future" immediately people always conjure images of the 1950's, the 1980's, and even futuristic (sadly inaccurate) 2015. However, what people rarely think of is 1885.

So the question remains, why is the Wild Wild West of the 19th century so overlooked? In all honesty, I have no idea because the third installment of the iconic movie series is quite amazing. Though many would argue, here are 3 reasons why "Back to the Future 3" is more than worth the watch.

1. The Letter

First of all, though many would argue that "Back to the Future 3" is an unnecessary add-on to the franchise it really is not. Hello, do we all remember the ending of the second movie?

Yes, that is right it was very inconspicuous...a letter from Doc from 1885 addressed to Marty? Not only is Marty confused, we as an audience are confused. Or, at least you should be if you as invested into the amazing dynamic of Marty and Doc as any loyal B2TF watcher should be.

Through this mysterious letter it is clear that Doc is not in any time period previously explored in the first two movies, so where is he and how did he get there? EXACTLY. That is why there are a third movie people, it is a much-needed film to cap off the series.

2. The Witty Repertoire

There are so many great lines in this movie, so I will have to refrain myself and just list one of the best ones. At one point in the film, Marty has to introduce himself. Now in class Marty fashion, he does not simply say his name is Marty McFly.

Nay, that would not fit the character we have come to know and love. "Back to the Future 3" expertly circles back to the first film when Marty's mom (unbeknownst to her that it was her son) thought it his name was Calvin Klein because of his underwear.

Well, astonishingly in the third movie Marty introduces himself as...I really do not know if you are ready for it..."Eastwood, Clint Eastwood". Wowza, talk about iconic. Not only does that line tie into the first movie it also pays homage to a true legend of the Western genre. Kudos to you Marty McFly.

3. Doc Finally Finds Love

Well, not to spoil the movie but as the third reason states, Doc finally finds love. And the only thought I can have about this is "good for Doc". That man deserves the world and in the third movie, he gets what he didn't even know he needed...true love in the form of docile schoolteacher Clara Clayton.

The only question that Doc's true love arises though is...in 1885 when Doc has kids with Clara does that mean the 1985 Doc we were introduced to in the first movie is simultaneously Doc and Doc's offspring? Does that mean Doc is his own grandfather? Well...in a way that just adds to the greatness of this movie, it leaves the viewer with many time-space continuum questions.

So, if you are ever scrolling through channels and see "Back to the Future 3" pop some popcorn, sit down, and enjoy the ride. Do not just scroll past and roll your eyes. be open to a movie that is better than you ever expected it would be.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
