Why You Should See Ghostbusters
Screen Rant

As your local movie theater employee, I know a thing or two about movies. When watching a movie, I look for certain qualities, and I have to say not everything I watch is up to my standards. However, not every review is going to be an honest review of the movie. Maybe they're too attached to the first one and refuse to give the sequel or remake a chance. Like several other movies, I believe that this is yet again the case with Ghostbusters, 2016. When I walked into the theater to see it, I had low expectations. When I walked out of the theater though, I can honestly say that I loved the movie.

The plot was similar to the original Ghostbusters movie that came out in '86 with an original spin, and it wasn't just because they gender-bent the cast. There were several cameos throughout the movie that gave not only me, but the other people in the theater some laughs. Even the stay puff marshmallow man showed up for a cameo! The energy throughout the entire movie was amazing.

They had a song from Fall Out Boy, and we all know who they are now that they've hit the mainstream media, and they don't just sing for any movie. The last movie they sang for was Big Hero 6, and that movie was excellent. Another factor that makes this movie great was the fact that they didn't keep it serious. Honestly, it felt like a Ghostbusters comedy. Some of the lines were priceless, and the cast was fantastic. Even the credits kept my attention, with a hilarious dance number by Chris Hemsworth and a bunch of people who worked for Homeland Security in the movie. How many times are you going to be able to say that you saw something like that on the big screen?

The battle scenes were also incredibly impressive, the CGI was definitely an improvement to what I'd seen before. It almost felt real. The characters were believable and quirky. Even when I had no idea what they were talking about, I felt like I was one of them. If you liked the original Ghostbusters, trust me, you're going to like the new one. It's definitely worth your time to catch while it's still in the theater.

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.
