Family Film Night: Haiku Collection

Seeing Rogue One was a great way to spend time with my family. It was also a great source of inspiration for a few haikus.

A family night

Went with my folks to see it

My uncle came, too

Popcorn in my hand

Adds to the fantastic scene

I gotta get it

King Kong: Skull Island

Tom Hiddleston is in it

Want to see it. NOW!

Johnny Cash cover

Nice fit for Old Wolverine

Want to see Logan

Trailer for Boss Baby

Deplorable. You know why?

Main guy hates puppies

Trailer for Boss Baby

That movie is many things

But it’s not funny

Trailer for Boss Baby

The overall impression:

Not that creative

There’s no title crawl

Like watching a comic book

Crossed with a war flick

The callbacks were nice

Brought dead actors from the grave

Awesome Darth Vader

Very awesome bot

C-3PO except not

Has dry humor

Blind NOT Jedi Knight

No lightsaber required

Whoops a lot of butt

His sidekick’s fun, too

Cracks a joke with a big smirk

Packs a big boomstick

“I deserve credit!”

White general's so wimpy

Never gets his way

This one character

Can’t remember his name now

I call him Arrow.

He was a sniper.

Who had conflicting feelings

He lost everything

He reminds me of

Cellist of Sarejvo

Reminds me of her

Her name is Arrow

A character like that guy

Captain What’s-his-face

She was a sniper

Who had conflicting feelings

She lost everything

Here I am, thinking,

“They are the same character

Different names and sex”

Diego Luna

He plays Arrow in the film

He is kind of cute

Jyn the rebel girl

Her father made the Death Star

She has connections

Quite the risk taker

Wants to steal the Death Star plans

But no one budges

Defective Pilot

Starts off cowardly but then

Becomes awesome, man!

Princess Leia’s eyes

Very Disney-Princess-Y

It’s quite disturbing

Jyn and Arrow love:

They hug, hold hands, and that’s it

I guess that’s enough

Jyn and Arrow love:

Hey! Jyn! Arrow! Guys! Hello?!?

Just kiss already!

Jyn? Arrow? A word?

You’re on a beach together

Just kiss already!

Jyn? Arrow? A word?

Death is minutes away now

Just kiss already!

Ending of Rogue One:

The moral of this story

War is bad. The end.

To quote Patrick Star:

“Everyone died. The end.” (Smiles)

Wow, Star Wars, that’s dark.

Here I am thinking:

“This movie is so awesome

Burning way past cool”

An adhesive flick

Put the two arcs together

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
