Why Every Dad Should Bring Their Daughter To 'Logan'
criticalhit.net

A recent movie that just came out unexpectedly made me reevaluate my life. As you can tell by the headline, no, I am not kidding. Loganshould be considered a family movie. Yes, the film drops so many F-Bombs, even in the first five minutes. But that really shouldn't stop you from watching it with your family. If you have not seen the movie and don't want it to be spoiled then I suggest you stop reading. Final warning.

By the time the credits started rolling on the screen, there was not a dry eye in the theater. Those tears made me realize just how special family is and it is often taken for granted. Logan, Laura and Charles have such strong anger towards each other through most of the film. This is beyond relatable. Family, and those you consider family, can really irritate you to the point of real rage. Sometimes you may even want to leave them somewhere and forget about them because "they aren't your problem." Maybe not literally, but admit it, you have thought about it. For some reason, Logan and Laura always have one another's backs. Just like real life. You may not want to, but you will always be there for those pests.

When Charles passes, Logan begins to cry and Laura tries to comfort him. And when Logan passes out because of his illness, Laura, an 11-year-old girl, drives him to a doctor and the next time to North Dakota where mutant kids treat him. This is a strong inspiration and connection of how in emergencies, family members will sacrifice anything for your well being. While Logan is dying, Laura holds onto him and tries to save him. Laura cries out "Daddy" and Logan replies with "So this is what it feels like." One word had the feeling of a lifetime. Seeing the pain they both were feeling in that moment gave me such a strong sense of love for my family because they can be gone at any moment in time. When it is too late.

Turning away from the plot, I will confess to the attitude and anger of a teenager against family, it happens. These emotions last almost our whole lives. There is no such thing as an easy family and Logan really embodied that. I know it is an action movie but just think about it, the moral is definitely family based, just look at all the promotional posters! I left the theater feeling a strong love and understanding of how fragile life is. I also left with nostalgia because a 17-year-long chapter is ending, which also made me realize something that has taken so much time in your life can be over in 135 minutes. So Dads, take your mutant-loving daughters to see this movie, A.S.A.P.!

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.
