Why It's Better To Be Bad Moms
Roxytheatres.com

This summer was jam-packed with must-see movies full of romance, adventure, and, of course, humor. One comedy in particular hit the theaters in late July, but still managed to qualify as a must-see of the summer.

"Bad Moms" brought down the house with its hilarity, not to mention its cast of A-list actors, such as Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn. Their ability to be "real," while cracking jokes will cause you to spill your popcorn from bursting into fits of laughter. The plot of the film is simple: After struggling and failing to reach perfection at work, at home, and in life, three hard-working women resolve to let go of everything keeping them from being "good" moms, and, instead, embrace the "bad." They leave their hubbies at home with the kids and realize its okay to have a girls' night (or three) every once in a while. After getting "chocolate wasted" in their local grocery store, Amy and her gal pals hit the bar, where she must re-learn how to speak to potential suitors in anything other than mommy lingo. To top it all off, Amy decides to do the unthinkable — run against Gwendolyn, the wicked witch of the PTA, for the all-powerful position of president. As you can probably guess, Amy and her posse of bad*ss moms win over the crowd of overworked, under-appreciated parents, when they finally convince them it is impossible and inevitable to avoid imperfections. It's easier to accept the fact that mistakes will be made, but lessons will be learned along the way.

This film is nonstop comedy, and not the stupid funny kind of comedy, but the actually funny kind of comedy, where you kinda can't believe they just said that out loud, but you kinda really love it because it's exactly what you were thinking. This being said the box-office hit is not lacking in life lessons. Whether you're a stay at home mom, a single mom, or just not a typical mom, no one can be a perfect mom, or, by any means, a perfect parent, and even though you can't always do everything right, odds are, your kids will still turn out alright.

So, moms, drop everything right now and head out to see this movie! (Except, you can't really drop everything right now, because, you know, kids.) If you can book a babysitter, leave the kiddos at home (while this film is totally mommy-friendly, it's definitely not kid-friendly), grab your mom squad and all the 99 cent junk food snacks you have, and enjoy 1 hour and 41 minutes of pure, raw, real entertainment. You might even make it back in time to tuck the little ones into bed. Or, you know, get chocolate wasted at Walmart.

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.
