10 Thoughts I Had Watching 'Meet Me In St. Louis For The First Time'

Who else here hates John?

Judy Garland

As a huge Judy Garland fan, I have been trying to watch all of her movies, and recently I crossed "Meet Me In St. Louis" off that list. Here are 10 thoughts I had throughout the film!

1. This "Meet Me In St. Louis" song will never not be in my head again, will it?

By the time we are 10 minutes in, three characters have already sang this song, and I know most of the words.

2. Judy Garland really is gorgeous

And no, I'm not just partial to gingers. She is one of the prettiest actresses in history but lived her entire life trying to change herself to please movie producers. This is the first picture where she is not wearing her studio issued dental caps and "nose disks."

3. This party looks awesome

Everyone is having a good time, everyone is dressed all fancy... Looks like a good time to me!

4. How old is Margaret O'Brien in this? 

Keep in mind, Judy is 4'11, which makes Margaret TINY. I actually ended up Googling this while I was watching, and she was 6 going on 7. Seriously, the amount of talent in such a little baby is incredible!

5. I wish people actually sang like this on the subway when someone was feeling lovey-dovey

10/10 would improve any and all commutes.

6. Are Tootie's dolls okay?

What are these 4 fatal diseases? How did this happen? Why is this man so calm about this?

7. Tootie! No! What is this terrible flour thing? What happened to trick-or-treating?

Who are these kids, starting fires, burning furniture, and throwing flour in strangers' faces?

8. I love the grandfather

He is so kind to his granddaughters and almost makes up for their virtually absent dad.

9. OMG, I hate John 

"College takes too long," "I can just get a job"... if only that were plausible today.

10. Damn, they have a lot of kids

During the 2 a.m. family meeting, we finally see all of the kids in one room (plus Grandpa being his awesome self in the back).

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
