Book to Movie: Everything, Everything

Risk everything.... for love

From The #1 New York Bestselling Author, Nicola Yoon, comes a heartfelt story with an ending you'd never expected.

My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, I m allergic to the world.I don t leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla.
But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He's tall, lean and wearing all black black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly.
Maybe we can t predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It s almost certainly going to be a disaster.

[Goodreads]

When I read this book, I was thinking, "This is such an interesting story, I'd love to see it on the big screen." And of course, Hollywood finally decided to adapt this book into a movie.

Amandla Stenberg, plays a girl named Maddie who has a disease called SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency). Maddie has never left her house, because of her condition. Until Olly, played by Nick Robinson, moves right next to Maddie's house. From knowing each other through emails, their relationship develops as well as Maddie's journey.

With the direction from Stella Meghie, Everything, Everything has already got 6.6 stars on IMDb with 254 reviews and 42% on Rotten Tomatoes with 52 reviews. Despite the "okay" ratings and reviews, I still want to see the movie before I have my own opinion. I'm excited to see how the story is being brought to the screen.

Everything, Everything comes out 19th May 2017

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
