Why The Messages In 'Wonder' Stood Out To Me

For those that haven't made a trip out to see the movie Wonder, it's your time to do so! It will really change your mindset in life and basically how to live it. That being said, I am a total sucker for movies with messages hidden throughout. Messages teach you things, and they help lead you to become a better person, in my opinion.

One of the messages that I learned is to always be kind instead of right. I know in this generation it really is tough to be kind to every single person that we come across. But you have to think how you are affecting that person's life, are you making it a kinder one for them to live in? If the answer is no, try to think of some ways you can be kinder to that person. If that means giving them a smile or a compliment, do it! Sometimes simple things like that can make a person's day so much better.

Another message I learned is that its okay to fail sometimes. Not to spoil the science fair part of the movie completely but there was one group in that scene that didn't succeed. That is sometimes how life goes, whether we like it or not. You will win and you will lose some and that is not something to be afraid of.

Your life will go on, you will have many other things that you will succeed at in life if you put your mind to it. Your journey is not finished yet, its just getting started.

These are just some of the things I learned throughout the movie Wonder. I love how the movie was able to get across these messages. Can you relate to any of these messages that I mentioned? If not, what messages in life can you relate to? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the comments below. Thanks for reading!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
