5 Reasons You Should Head To A Movie Theater Instead Of Watching Netflix In Your Room

If I don't know anywhere else to go to, in order to spend time with my family and friends, the movie theater is always my first choice.

Despite the general amount of money that one needs to spend in a movie theater, the movie theater is actually a nice way to spend your time. Here are five reasons why:

1. You can watch your film on a big screen

The film that you are anticipating to watch will be finally shown on a big screen and loud audio right in front of you. From the big screen, it provides enough screen time for you to only focus on watching that film. The loud audio also helps you hear everything on what is happening in the film. Also, when waiting for your film to be viewed on the big screen, one can see commercials and trailers on the big screen. You get to see the upcoming films and get even more excited for those when they come to the big screen in movie theaters!

2. There's no one to interrupt you

The movie theater always respects their viewers and audience during a film screening. They want all cell phones silent or shut off. This way, the viewer will not be distracted nor interrupted when watching the film. This is also a perfect time to be only focusing on something else than one's concerns or worries from his or her personal life.

3. There are comfortable seats

Other than a film to watch, the movie theaters also provide a comfortable seat for you to sit on. Some of the movie theaters have their seats to be adjustable which means that you can adjust the seat yourself by pressing the side button, according to how you like it. From my experience, I remember the movie theater I have gone to, I was able to adjust the seat and have my feet up on a leg rest. This is one of the things to look forward to when going to a movie theater!

4. You can eat good food

Usually, I have been told not to eat popcorn and soda a lot because they are unhealthy. However, going to enjoy at the movie theaters is the perfect excuse for me to eat popcorn and soda. Going to the movie theaters is a special occasion for me to eat popcorn and drink soda. For choices for popcorn and soda, I would always choose butter popcorn and root beer. This food and drink combination is my favorite to enjoy when going to the movie theaters.

5. You can spend time with family and friends

If I don't know anywhere else to go to, in order to spend time with my family and friends, the movie theater is always my first choice. Considering that my friends and family love movies, it's always a great activity to do together and pass the time. It's also one of the easiest activities to do. Just buy food, drink, tickets and sit and watch. Sometimes even before the film, we get to chat what to expect and also predict what we might see in the film. Then, during the film, one gets to see his or her friends and family's reactions towards the film which is even more enjoyable to watch than the film. In the end, it's also fun hearing what your friends and family have to say about the movie after one asks them, "Do you enjoy the film?" or "Do you like the film?" Then, we go into a big conversation that might last enough during the trip back home.

In conclusion, going to the movie theaters once in a while is great for fun and relaxation!

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.
