There is more than just one reason why everyone should be excited about the newest Dan Brown Movie, “Inferno.” Not only is it the third movie in the Da Vinci Code series, but also Tom Hanks is back to play Robert Langdon and blow everyone’s minds as he unravels yet another mystery.

Personally, I am overly excited for this new release after studying abroad in Florence, Italy where the movie is set to take place. One of my favorite memories while in Italy was running about the city of Rome pointing out clues from, “Angels & Demons.” I know that is pretty dorky, but It just goes to show what a great job Dan Brown did in writing this series.

For everyone that didn’t spend a semester exploring every inch of Florence, Italy and becoming familiar with all its history, here is a little breakdown before you hit the theaters to see the movie.

If you haven’t yet, check out the trailer first:


So what exactly is Inferno? Inferno in Italian means “hell,” and refers to the first part of Dante Alighieri’s epic poem “Divine Comedy.” This 14th-century poem tells the story of Dante’s journey through the 9 circles of Hell.

The map that is featured in the trailer is based on Botticelli’s drawing on parchment of the “Map of Hell.” This map was created based on Dante’s poem Inferno. It seems as though the movie will be using this map as one of their main clues.

Another clue shown in the trailer is Dante’s death mask. Like in the movie, this masked is encased in Palazzo Vecchio. Originally, the mask was believed be carved directly from Dante’s face, but studies show that it might just be a cast from his sepulchral effigy or tomb. I can’t be sure of how these clues will all come together in the movie just yet, but it is sure to be brain stimulating.

The trailer didn’t give away too much but I am hopeful that the movie will capture everything I miss about the beautiful city of Florence. If you still need a little motivation to hit the theaters for this one, here are some of my own photos that are sure to inspire so appreciation for Florence.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
