5 Romance Movies NOT To Watch For The Romance

Although all of these movies are great to watch, they're kind of depressing when you watch them with your boyfriend or girlfriend. This is because the two main love interests either don't actually end up together or aren't happy together, and it's sad to watch it play out - especially when you're with your S/O.

1. "La La Land"

This movie has such a bittersweet ending! You watch it the entire time thinking "how romantic," and then BAM! They break up because of her career, she becomes wildly famous, marries another man, and has a kid with him!! Granted, Seb got to live out his dream of opening up his own jazz club just like Mia lived out her fantasy, but it's still so sad that they never end up together.

2. "The Graduate"

Okay, so the scene where he runs up to her wedding and crashes it and they run away together is SO ROMANTIC. But the ending? Not so much. As their smiles and adrenaline fade, the two sit in unhappy-looking silence as a depressing song plays over the movie. Did they do the right thing? Are they actually in love? Did they live happily ever after???

3. "500 Days of Summer"

From the get-go, the narrator of the movie informs the audience that it "is not a love story." However, the audience, just like the optimistic male lead, believes differently. We come to realize that it's not to be once the female reveals that she doesn't love him and never has...then marries someone else. The movie ends on a positive note, but it's still heart-wrenching to watch such a rocky romance play out.

4. "Casablanca"

This is a classic. I really, really believed that Rick and Ilsa would end up together. I mean, they loved each other! Ilsa was literally supposed to stay with Rick, until the plot twist at the end. But Ilsa had another love before Rick, her husband - so she was obligated to him first before anything else.

5. "Gone with the Wind"

This is a classic romance movie and has tons of romantic elements, but as the movie progresses, all hope is nearly lost for Scarlet and Rhett to end up together. Scarlet rejects Rhett, marries another man, and has a life with him. Later, however, she decides she would be happier with Rhett. So in a last-ditch effort, she goes back to him and declares her love in hopes of reuniting with him. However, this time HE denies her with the famous line "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." WOW.

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.
