Nothing is better than a movie with a plot twist; it's something about the twist itself that makes the movie so much more satisfying to watch. Here's a list of 5 of the best ones, most made in the last '90s and early 2000s.

The Sixth Sense (1999)

Giphy

In arguably M. Night Shyamalan's best film, young Cole Sear "sees dead people." With the help of child psychologist Dr. Malcolm Crowe, he seeks medical help regarding his supernatural abilities, only to find one of the most unexpected plot-twists of cinematic history. Actually, it's not that unexpected once you watch it a second time.

Shutter Island (2010)

Giphy

U.S Marshal Teddy Daniels and his partner visit Ashecliffe Hospital, an insane asylum for the mentally disturbed, on Shutter Island to uncover the story of a missing patient. This action-packed sinister movie touches on topics of war PTSD, past trauma, and murder.

Donnie Darko (2001)

Giphy

An isolated highschool boy is haunted by a 6-foot-tall bunny rabbit named Frank who tells him the world will end in exactly 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds. What initially seems to be schizophrenia is later revealed as a deep, interconnected time travel and space story through unexplainable events in the movie, and of course, the ending.

The Village (2004) 

Another M. Night Shyamalan classic, a story of an Amish village who willingly remains underground, citing the outside world as an area full of dangerous creatures. But when one of the young villagers becomes ill, a blind girl risks herself and goes to the next village to fetch medicine.

Fight Club (1999)

Giphy

A depressed man and a soap salesman, Tyler Durden, form an underground fight-club and encourage people who are fed-up with their lives to join. In the end, though, the unnamed narrator is exposed to the awful truth about Tyler and his fight club.

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.
