Early in August, the film Detroit was released nationwide. I went to see it the week it came out with my brother and it instantly became my favorite film of the year. However, it didn't do incredibly well in the box office which surprises me because it has such a powerful story.

Ahead of award season, the Kathryn Bigelow directed film will be re-released in select theaters in December. It will be available in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Palm Springs, Maui, and Aspen. So, if you live near or in these areas, I highly recommend giving this one a watch.

Detroit tells a story of a group of young people during the Detroit riots in 1967. After a starter pistol was fired inside the Algiers Motel, a siege was made by the Michigan State Police and the Michigan Army National Guard. Through the majority of the film, we see the violent and cruel interrogations that these young men and women were put through and the scars left by them.

This film is a must see as it is incredibly important and relevant today. Not only are there phenomenal performances by the cast, this film is truly spine-chilling. The story is on thing, but the themes overall are what make this film very unique. It's real, raw, emotional, and vulgar. When I saw this film for the first time back in August, I was truly frightened by every aspect of it. It's something I can't really explain without sounding confusing. Never in my life has a movie made me feel like I was there, in person, witnessing the horrible and sickening events that occurred that horror of a night. I hope this film incites change.

Detroit will be re-released on December 1st and will be available digitally on November 28th. The film can also be purchased on Blu-ray and DVD December 12th.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
