I Am A Cinephile And Here's Why

Movies are the best.

I LOVE MOVIES. Sometimes I daydream about going home, getting into comfy clothes and streaming a good movie. Who doesn't love a good movie? When someone tells me that they don't watch movies for fun, I just look at them like they're crazy.

When I was little I grew up not having WiFi or cable. But, I did have a VCR and a DVD player, and of course, hundreds of movies. So what my brother and I would do is watch movies all the day. My mom was a huge movie goer so she would show us and take us to the movies all the time. Going to the movies was a treat for my family, and if we couldn't go we would rent movies from Blockbuster. Yes, our town still had a Blockbusters but up until 2018. We even had a Hollywood Video. Give a shout out if you know what I mean. My family and I watched so many movies that we could recite and quote them. It wasn't until 2017 that my mom finally got cable and internet with a stable subscription to Netflix. This opened so many doors!

Now, every weekend me and my boyfriend look forward to watching movies or going to the movie theatres. Watching movies or even TV shows is a great way to just relax apart from the real world. You see different perspectives and new viewpoints from directors and their art form. Movies have some of the best stories and quotes ever. There is something so captivating about a story. Movies bring out the binging animals in us, especially with TV shows.

Movies can make you cry, scared, anxious, excited, heartfelt- pretty much any emotion ever! Movies and film bring people together and make movements. The 2017 year had amazing movies and I still have yet to see all of them!

Don't think that I'm a hermit crab. I love going outdoors and spending time with people. But what is also great is watching a movie together and having whole conversation on that crazy ending!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
