It's Time To Head To Walmart, But Not For What You Would Think

In recent months, all of our favorite hobbies and pastimes have been put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but as some things are beginning to slowly reopen, other facilities and businesses are being forced to take it slower or hold off. Some places are finding new ways of bringing us entertainment. Walmart, on the other hand, is bringing back a classic: the drive-in movie.

This is part of Walmart's initiative to aid kids and families in making the most of the summer, mid-pandemic. They teamed up with celebrities such as Lebron James, Neil Patrick Harris, Idina Menzel, and Drew Barrymore to launch an online entertainment program called "Camp by Walmart." These celebs take the time to create instructional videos in fitness, arts and crafts, or other activities for kids to follow along. The program will offer over 200 activities throughout the summer for families to tune into. It can be accessed through the Walmart mobile app's "Services" tab, and the software is created to adjust to the individual child's interests throughout the program, making the activities and experience unique for everyone who chooses to tune in!

For those of us who are missing checking out the hottest new film to hit the box office, Walmart is also offering drive-in movie theaters at select locations! Walmart is converting the parking lots of 160 supercenters into safe, no-contact drive-in theater locations for guests, and even better, all of the showings are free! All you have to do is reserve your tickets ahead of time on the Walmart Drive-in website.

They have a great list of films to show, including the original 1984 Ghostbusters film, The Wizard of Oz (1939), Spy Kids (2001), Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (2018), and more. Each vehicle only needs to reserve one ticket, and they have tickets to sell until the designated parking is full! Gates open at 6:00 p.m. for parking and the film showings begin at 7:30. All you need is to do is reserve your ticket, head to the movie, find a parking spot, and tune your car's FM radio to the designated station for the film's audio. Worried about snacks? No need! Walmart associates will bring your concessions directly to your vehicle for you.

If this sounds like a great deal to you, you should check out one of Walmart's 320 showings located all across the country! Check out their website for the location nearest to you!

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.
