What to watch during quarantine

Since our world got turned upside down, I'll admit I've been spending a lot of time watching movies. If not to escape from the often sad reality, but to broaden my horizons. Here is a short list of some of my favorite movies I've watched during these past few months!

Ladybird (2018)

A beautifully written, wonderfully executed coming-of-age movie. The subtle humor and painfully real strained parent-child relationships within this story makes this movie incredible relatable.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

An extremely intriguing story with a heartbreaking romance. The strangeness of this idea is what immediately draws you in, but then the life-long wisdom and unconditional love keeps you viciously committed.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (2010)

The unadulterated humor and refreshing film-style of this move is what makes it one of my favorites of all time. Scott Pilgrim is a perfectly real protagonist with an extremely outlandish story which makes it all the more fun to watch.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)

A beautifully unique art-style with consistent humor and drama. This movie is a comfort for its ability to be re-watched endlessly along with its hyper-compelling and relatable protagonist, Miles Morales.

The Help (2011)

One of the most compelling stories ever told, from start to finish. This movie will make you laugh, cry, cheer, and yell. It's a must watch, especially for the times we live in.

Although this is a relatively short list, these movies are all ones that I can watch over and over without getting tired of them. During a time like this, we should all be exploring new things- whether that be books, hobbies, shows, movies, or even practices. I hope you can find something you enjoy regardless of the circumstance.

Happy watching!

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.
