Jordan Peele Does It Again

With the recent release of "Us", Jordan Peele leaves the audience wanting more.

As if his first debut as a horror film director wasn't enough of a success, Jordan Peele, an American actor and filmmaker, released "Us" 2 weeks ago. Peele's first big debut, "Get Out", was a huge success, winning an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. This movie wowed its audience and let us into the creative and a bit insidious (in a good way) mind of Jordan Peele.

Two Fridays ago, I was enjoying my last day in Florida by visiting Disney Springs. It was a beautiful day out and I was SO happy to be able to grasp onto what was left of my warm vacation from the cold wind up north. I passed by a huge dine-in AMC and had to hold myself back from going in. I had to remind myself that even though my two favorite things, food and movies, were right in front of me, it would be a crime to waste my last beautiful day.

That reminder faded pretty quick as I remembered "Us" was released that same day. I dragged my boyfriend through the doors and he, being a good boyfriend, had no complaints. We bought our tickets, ordered our large milkshake and appetizers, and sat down impatiently waiting for the movie to start.

As the movie came to a conclusion, my boyfriend and I looked at each other and had no words. Literally, we had no words it was that good. We got up and walked out of the theatre into the bright sunlight and honestly forgot we just spent a beautiful day in the dark eating pretzels.

For the rest of the day, all we could talk about was how amazing the movie was. Not kidding. We didn't stop talking about it for the rest of the trip and we still are now.

This movie was less of a "jump scare" movie and more of a psychological thriller that really spooks you. The actors Peele found to play the parts did a phenomenal job and accurately portrayed a creepy storyline that only Peele could pull off.

If you're looking for a new movie to be obsessed with, like I am, "Us" is definitely for you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
