A Review of Godzilla: King of Monsters

I've grown up in a family that absolutely adores Godzilla - I mean, we even liken him to our beloved pet Gus at times - so I was pretty excited for this movie. And monster movies, especially in this era of amazing CGI, are never disappointing. Of course, when all your focus is on the fighting scenes, there is plenty room for disappointment in writing.

So, while the movie itself was really exciting and had you cheering on for Godzilla the entire time, it was definitely lacking in the human department. I mean, what even is the point of trying to shove a family drama in the middle of a total Titan war? Not to mention some plot-holes and weird explanations and jumps to get the story moving along. Regardless, it's a monster movie and I didn't come here for the human plot. The fight scenes were phenomenal, and admittedly, even emotional at times. The shots were beautiful, especially when Godzilla's reflection appeared on a building, or the radiation spikes shooting off of him.

My favorite parts had to be with Ishiro Serizawa's character, though. He encapsulated a beautiful manner of compassion and trust in Godzilla - truly the way one should be with a force of nature that great. His final scene was tremendously depressing but at the same time so beautiful. If he were to say goodbye, I'm glad it was in his own language and in a beautiful place like Godzilla's own throne.

I'm looking forward to how Godzilla's fight with King Kong will pan out and if the writers will decide on an ultimate winner. I also wonder how the coexistence of Titans and humans will occur. On the surface level, the movie was good, but it feels like with these two questions there's room for error as much as there could be to tie things together perfectly. The only thing left to do is wait for the final installations of the monster universe.

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.
