Keep Your Lights On!

Universal Studios Hollywood is letting visitors come see one of their mazes . . . with the lights on?

Universal Studios Hollywood, in a press release, announced that they will be offering a once-in-a-lifetime chance to walk through one of their horrifying mazes with the lights turned on. The park's new Stranger Things maze garnered widespread respect and acclaim for its immersive storytelling and suspenseful tension that drags its visitors into the strange happenings of Hawkins, Indiana. Constructing the maze allowed Universal Hollywood's Creative Director John Murdy to work with his team and remake the critically-acclaimed show's suspenseful and '80s-inspired set pieces and monster designs in classic Stranger Things fashion. What this means is that his team opted for a cinematic experience rather than a simple "jump scare" type maze that aims to scare you from start to finish with simple imagery.

Recently, it seems like Universal Hollywood has received numerous requests to view the maze in the daytime with the lights on to see how the iconic maze comes together at night to terrify its visitors. Some people might opt for this route in order to avoid having the Hawkins scared out of them while still experiencing the "movie-quality sets" of their beloved show. Cinema buffs and nostalgia hounds may combine both experiences to really get behind the recreation of "the good old days" of their youths. One thing that will convince people the maze is fantastic is to know that the younger cast of Stranger Things walked through the maze in complete terror. If the ones who are involved with the scary things we see on screen are terrified by this experience, you are sure to go through it at least as freaked out, perhaps even more.

If you happen to not be a thrill junkie, the self-guided lights on tour of the maze might be the choice for you. This offer starts on Monday, October 29 and lasts until Friday, November 2, all included in the price of regular daytime admission to Universal Studios Hollywood.

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.
