This movie is way more than meets the eye!

It's not a spoon fed story that requires no thinking. If you're like me, the first time I watched it I just didn't understand. I have watched it for the second time and I still have so many questions for the brilliant mind of Darren Aronofsky. The film speaks volumes, even if it is a little difficult to comprehend.

I'm not going to spoil it for you, so don't worry!

It can be looked at through a number of perspectives. Maybe through the eyes of the needy and never satisfied artist. From this standpoint, being loved by your fans is never enough. Even the love from family isn't enough to quench the ever-burning drive for stardom.

Could it be that Jennifer Lawerence is Mother Earth and the film is a representation of how much the people that live on this planet take from her? Or is it meant to be taken at face value and is about a couple struggling in their relationship? Will Mr. Aronofsky ever reveal his vision for this mind-blowing phenomenal film? We may never know, but it will definitely make its audience ponder its meaning.

This movie is told through the story of Jennifer Lawerence's character that is without a name, simply identified as 'Her'. Her husband is a struggling poet who never ceases to steal the spotlight; leaving Her standing in the background as his fans shed adoring love on his writing into the emptiness of his needy soul. Driven to be recognized for her talent, Jennifer Lawerence is determined to make her husband see her, but in a twist that I definitely didn't see coming, her need for reassurance backfires and her life is shattered in the final act of the film.

However, this is just my take on the film. It is left open to interpretation from the viewers. Most will say that it doesn't make sense to them but that's simply because we have all become used to having the story fed to us line by line.

Do yourself a favor and check this fascinating film out!

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.

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.
