The ball is round, a game lasts 90 minutes, everything else is pure theory. Off we go!” ~ RUN LOLA RUN

In the film "RUN LOLA RUN" (1998, Tykwer), we are exposed to three distinct categories: video-game like, ticking sound, and fast movement. The meanings behind "RUN LOLA RUN" are what if, where we come from, sacrifice, choices, and outcomes-- to prove or support these meanings are fast movements, video-game like, and ticking sounds.

The ticking sound is used in the film as her mind, ideas, the time she has left, or to make her aware. In our life time there is always a ticking sound; when we have children, get married, grow up, work, enjoy life, think, attend school, choices, how to be mature, and to make us aware of things that are right or wrong, the ticking sound symbolizes choices.

Video-game like, every time Lola began to run, the scene moved to her cartoon self like, that reminded me of a video game because she was on a mission. When we play video games: Sims, Grand Theft Auto, Social Life, and Call of Duty, we get lost into the game and forget reality; we are in our fantasy world that we created or entering a world that is different that we’re not use to. In "RUN LOLA RUN" she enters in a mission to help her boyfriend that has some sacrifices, she has this screaming power and great running scenes, but every time a villain came or a person got in her way it ruins her outcomes in her choices. Until her last choice that succeeds, she wins her game.

Fast movement, everything that goes around us in a fast movement; our life, even though some of us do not notice, our lives transitions fast in front of our eyes. In the choices we make, people in our lives go or stay, and how we grow up. Everything moves in a fast movement for Lola the people that she bumps into, lives transition, moves so quickly that ended up badly in her two choices, and because of that she had to make quick choices in a fast movement.

I love this film, colors, and the music. The music and red hair gives you a virbrant edge , which is what the whole movie is about. I recommend everyone to see this film.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
