Traveling To a Fictional Dimension

The fictional world of movie, books, and television is something I love and always want to explore.

Traveling To a Fictional Dimension

Recently, I started rereading the Hunger Games, and it made me realize just how much I was into fiction and reading about fictional worlds. For example, Percy Jackson, Avatar the Last Airbender, Pokemon, Marvel Comics, and Harry Potter are just a few series that I love; I fell in love with these series because of their creation of a new world and the effort put into the world-building by the creators of each series. Each one has it's own plot, characters, and story. When I read or watch these fictional works, I picture myself in the world and it's almost like an escape from reality, which is something I find very therapeutic and cool.

Starting from a young age, I was a huge fan of TV and movies. I absolutely adored sitting with my family around the television, watching whatever show was on Disney Channel with my sisters. Every day my grandparents would watch Indian tv serials full of drama and plot twists, and I would sit and watch as much as I could with them. I always loved going to the movies and cherished every trip to the movie theatre. When the first version of Netflix was introduced where you could rent DVDs, I was in movie heaven; so many options! As I grew older I would watch movies and TV shows on my own, never limiting myself to any one genre. For me, TV was never just something I watched when I was bored or feeling lazy; I would look forward to it and would set aside time for it.

Reading books was also one of my favorite things to do and still is. My sister and I would go to the library every week, browsing different sections. As I grew older I moved from the kids section to the teen section to the young adult section. Every time I went to the library and found a good book or series I would binge it and read until there was nothing left to read. I would even find myself neglecting schoolwork to read. My favorite genre is young adult/ teen fiction but I will read anything if it's good including fantasy, mystery, post-apocalyptic, romance, horror, and occasionally nonfiction.

I think my obsession with reading and watching television and movies comes from the fact that these activities transport me to another world. While I am reading I become another character in life similar or different from my own, which I find so intriguing. During the movie or television show, I become engrossed in a story, and I often feel like I am apart of it. Reading and watching TV have become two of my biggest de-stressors; in high school, I would find peace and calmness from these two things and they would help me relax. Although I find myself watching less TV and reading less leisurely in college, I still try to make time for these things because they have become so important to me.

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.
