Five Movies/Shows You Need To Watch On Netflix
Netflix

Its summertime! Let's face it: when we are not working, we are watching Netflix. Netflix has hundreds of movies to choose from. Whether you are in the mood for a good cry or a good scare, I am sure that Netflix has just the right movie to cater to your need. I will be honest, I have watched a lot of Netflix this summer. However, I did find some nice movies/shows to watch. I am happy to share it with you all!

Here are my top five movies/tv shows that you can find on Netflix now.

1. "Cake" (2014)

I watched this movie at the beginning of the summer because, I'll be honest, I am a huge Jennifer Aniston fan. In this movie, she plays a woman who is dealing with the aftermath of being the only one who survived a car crash, killing her son and husband. Along with the emotional pain she is having to deal with, she is also having to deal with the physical pain of having broken almost every bone in her body. Jennifer plays a completely different role than her normal "girl next door" role. I thought this movie was fantastic and would highly recommend that if you love Jennifer Aniston as much as I do, then watch this film.

2. "Decoding Annie Parker" (2013)

I just recently watched this film late at night when I could not seem to find anything else to watch. I stumbled upon this movie and I realized it had Rashida Jones in it. I am a huge fan of Rashida and immediately wanted to see what this film was about. The movie is centered on a woman named Annie Parker, who was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer three times throughout the film. Set in the 1980s, Parker continuously writes to a urologist, who is trying to find a genetic link to breast cancer. With the help of Annie Parker, she is able to find the link and help many patients. I thought this movie was a great movie with a lot of insight as to how a person deals with breast cancer. I would recommend that women who know a person with this disease or have experienced it themselves, check it out.

3. "The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas" (2008)

This movie was outstanding! This was one of the few films that I actually shed a tear while watching. Set in 1940s Germany, the son of a Nazi general befriends a local Jewish boy at the concentration camp, Aushwitz. That is about as much as I can give you as far as a synopsis of the movie without spoiling anything. But seriously, go and watch this film! It will not disappoint!

4. "Stranger Things" (2016)

This show is seriously good. If you liked Steven Speilberg's "E.T." or any of the old eighties science fiction movies, this series is the one for you. The premise of the show centers on a boy, Will Beyers. On the way home from a night out with his friends, he goes missing. While trying to find out where her son is, Judy encounters supernatural forces that she believes captured her son. This show features Winona Ryder, which I am also a huge fan of because face it, who doesn't love Winona Ryder. So, if you are a big 80's geek like me, watch this series and you will be hooked!

5. "Little Boy" (2015)

This movie will capture the hearts of all audiences. Set in a small, Midwest town in the 1940s, a boy is bullied by his friends because of his small height. However, his faith is as big as the mountains he wants to move. While a Japanese man is ridiculed in the hype of the Pearl Harbor attack, the little boy befriends the man and shows him that not all Americans hate the Japanese. This family friendly movie will restore your faith in that there is more good than evil in the world. I loved this movie and I think you will too!


So, there you have it! Those are my top five favorite Netflix flicks! Like and comment your favorite films and be sure to check these films out!

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.
