Best Picture:

“Call Me by Your Name”

This dramatic coming-of-age film has found success with the multitudes and with the critics. It's the story of a young man living in Italy with his family who becomes enamored with his father's assistant over the course of a summer, when eventually they begin a romantic and sexual relationship. It's visually stunning and "artsy", and the story is so much more then it seems.


“Darkest Hour”

"Darkest Hour" is a period piece set in Britain during World War II. It covers the experience of Winston Churchill as he fights with his parliament during the real events of Dunkirk and overall, the beginning of the war.


“Dunkirk”

Another World War II period piece, "Dunkirk" follows the story of the evacuation by three means (air, land, and sea) by telling the story of a smaller group of men. The film has very little dialogue but rather uses the music and the shots to tell the story.


“Get Out”

One of the most critically acclaimed horror films of 2017, "Get Out" follows Chris, a black man, as he meets his white girlfriend's family for the first time and notices something off about the black workers in the home. Literally, anything more would spoil it, but it is worth a watch if you haven't seen it already.


“Lady Bird”

"Lady Bird" is another coming-of-age feature about a teenage girl coming into her own and her struggle with her mother.


“Phantom Thread”

This dark film follows the relationship of a renowned fashion designer and a waitress who becomes his muse.


“The Post”

This film follows the story of a woman angered by the slowness of the legal process after her daughter is raped and murdered by an unknown man.

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.
