How this movie understands rape and molestation victims.

Clinical is a 2017 Netflix original horror film; it is a film with a shocking twist at the end that is not predictable, which I wasn’t so pleased about.

The movie is crazy good! Clinical dives into patients that has had experiences with trauma. Such as how trauma effects our mental state. I like the fact how the filmmakers dived into how our mental stability is effected in our daily lives. From how we interact with our partner, family members, coworkers, etc...

Anything we do in our lives can affect our mental mind set in a negative way or positive way. Also, I like the fact that the filmmakers didn’t shy away from how rape and molestation affects a victim; rape and molestation are similar to murder. Rape and molestation murders your soul; it murders a part of you that probably won’t come back.

I won’t spoil much for you all, but I’ll give you a brief summary of Clinical. Clinical is directed by Alistair Legrand and starred by Vinessa Shaw and Kevin Rahm. In this film, a psychiatrist is trying to put her life together and skeletons back in her closet after a violent attack by one of her own patients.

I find it questionable in the film the psychiatrist is trying to put her life back together, but she needs help as well. How can you improve someone’s life when you’re having trouble within your own life? But we all know someone that is like this in our lives! We all have had many problems in our lifetime, so we forget our own troubles, and try to help others out in their lives.

Overall, this film was crazy good. Clinical is the mystery of the mind. It can be a mystery in a stable mind or troubled mind.

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.
