Movie Radar: The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

So, this movie isn't exactly an "up and coming" one since it was initially released on August 31, 2018, but this Netflix original movie helmed by the Coen Brothers is bound to be an entertaining watch. If you aren't familiar with Joel & Ethan Coen they are two of Hollywood's biggest directing names who have directed movies like Barton Fink, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, Inside Llewyn Davis, No Country for Old Men, so many more. They just have an incredibly solid resume of films, and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is bound to be another great one on their list.

What's interesting about this one is that it isn't supposed to be one long film, but an anthology of six short films that all deal with life in the 19th century post-Civil War Era. On top of the fact that this is a Coen Bros. movie, this movie boasts a pretty nice cast list of stars including James Franco (Freaks & Geeks, Spider-Man­, Pineapple Express, etc.), Brendan Gleeson (Braveheart, Mission: Impossible 2, Gangs of New York, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, etc.) Zoe Kazan (Ruby Sparks, The Big Sick, etc.), Liam Neeson (Schindler's List, Star Wars Episode I, Gangs of New York, Batman Begins, Taken, etc.), Tim Blake Nelson (Donnie Brasco, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Lincoln), & Tom Waits(Singer-Songwriter, Mystery Men, The Book of Eli, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus). The longtime collaborator with the Coen Bros., Carter Burwell, will be the one behind the music, so we can expect a very Coen Bros. movie. And I won't complain about that.

More information on the movie is out, but if you're like me then you probably want to know as little as possible before watching it. So far, the movie has a lot of positive reviews and the critics seem to love it with Rotten Tomatoes having it at 93% right now. I'm excited to check this one out and I can't wait to see for myself how it is. Check it out on its release date of November 16, 2018.

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.
