'90s Classic 'Empire Records' Still Resonates Decades Later

"Empire Records" is an immediate recommendation if you're looking for a coming-of-age, funny, edgy, artistic, romantic, 90s indie film. "Empire Records" stars actors such as Renée Zellweger, who portrays Irene Waters in "Me, Myself, and Irene," and Liv Tyler, from "Lord of The Rings."

The movie revolves around the lives of Empire Records employees who manage to barely run the popular local music store. The store is financially struggling after one of the night-shift employees bets all the store's money in a Las Vegas gambling game.

The day the manager, Joe, finds out the money is missing is the same day the music store is hosting a meet and greet for a famous pop singer, Rex Manning. The film reveals a day that is filled with many inconveniences for all characters and still manages to tell important details about each role.

Despite the fact that the plot is a bit scattered, the film is meant to be a fun blockbuster comedy. The movie reminds us why a lot of the '90s style is coming back, and it just makes you appreciate the movie a lot more.

If you're looking for something entertaining and not from this decade, go ahead and check out this one. It's sexy, romantic, fun, musically-involved, and explains the importance of supporting local businesses.

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
