Movie-goers might still be watching movies yet missing the community experience of seeing them with a community because they're stuck at home during this COVID-19 pandemic.

But Lionsgate has a solution for those who are stuck scrolling through the same lonely reruns.

Starting Friday, April 17, the entertainment company is partnering with Fandango and YouTube to stream some of Lionsgate's most popular titles – "The Hunger Games," "Dirty Dancing," "La La Land" and "John Wick" – for free through Lionsgate's YouTube page and Fandango's Movieclips YouTube page.

Actress Jamie Lee Curtis, known for "Halloween" and "Freaky Friday," will host the series of watch parties and share her movie memories with special guest celebrities and YouTube personalities. Every Friday, there will be special programming and interactive activities for fans like real-time fan chats via YouTube Live, live-tweeting and shared fan engagement opportunities in-show, including movie trivia, challenges, and more.

Joining these events is for a good cause, too. In support for the country's temporarily jobless movie theater employees, Lionsgate's initial donation, audience contributions and partner donations throughout the events will benefit the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping workers throughout the motion picture industry. During the Coronavirus, The Will Rogers Foundation is providing financial assistance to theater employees furloughed by the crisis.

Check out links to the free movies that will livestream at 6:00pm PT/9:00pm ET to set reminders on your calendar:

Friday, April 17 – "The Hunger Games"

Friday, April 24 – "Dirty Dancing"

Friday, May 1 – "La La Land"

Friday, May 8 – "John Wick" (age registration required)

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.

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.
