The Nostalgia Of Re-Watching Your Favorite Movie Is An Experience You Just Can't Beat

When did I get this old?!

Cinema

I love watching movies, I want to be in the movie theatre watching the new Bollywood or cuddling up on my sofa and finding one on netflix. But rewatching one of my favorites from my childhood just hits different. It wierd what I feel watching it because it reminds me of what I was like bakc then and I can rememeber the exact setting of when I first watched the movie. And life is aight now but its not the same as being this chubby little 12 year old sitting in the living room claiming that her life was going to be exactly liek that of the characters in Student of the Year when she goes to college.

Now sitting here, in my college dorm room, watching the movie again just feels wierd. Not in a bad way neccesarrily but the stress of college really makes me miss being young and hopeful. Like right now, I haven't done any studying this weekend and its Sunday night, almost 9 pm. And I have the stress of organic chemistry and biology in the back of my head and I just got throguh a brutal week of midterms and I'm constantly questioning my abilities and intelligence and I remember being so content when I first watched this movie. It was a late weekend night when I first watched it and I was in 7th grade so I didn't have any homework to do and my mom was sitting next to me and we were eatin watermelon. It was the best time.

I also watched the movie without constantly comparing myself to the characters. But now that I am roughlt the same age as them, wathcing this movie makes me hate my body even more, it makes me hate the fact that I just ate like a pound of pasta and can't wear the cute little dresses everyone in the movie is wearing. And literally what hurts the most is that I feel like no one will ever love me as much as the people on the screen love each other. Its stupid because I know fi just a movei but its still annoying you know?

I wanted the rant in this articel because I know many people can relate to me and its nice to know there are others just like you out there.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
