Why You Should See "La La Land" If You Haven't Already

La La Land is a musical movie following the lives of Mia and Sebastian, two aspiring performers in Los Angeles. Mia dreams of becoming an actress, while Sebastian desires to open his own Jazz Club. Ultimately, it's a movie about reaching your dreams, and dealing with the hardships that come along with following your dreams. The film won all 7 categories they were in for the Golden Globes. Critics have also named it the best movie of 2016, and audiences, including myself, agree. If you haven't seen La La Land yet, here's why you need to go see it!

The cinematography is incredible


La La Land is filmed in Cinemascope, which gives the film a classic vibe. The entire spectacle is vibrant, fun, and absolutely pleasing to the eyes.

Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are better than ever

La La Land marks the third time this duo has performed together on screen. Aside from their phenomenal acting, both underwent long months of learning how to ballroom dance and tap dance for their scenes. Gosling even spent four hours a day learning how to play the piano for six months!

The music is infectious

Songs such as "Another Day of Sun" and "Someone in the Crowd" provide an upbeat roaring jazz band that will take you back in time, while songs such as "City of Stars" and "Audition (The Fools Who Dream)" tug on the heart strings. Not to mention that John Legend also performs "Start a Fire" as his character Keith in the movie. With a musical lineup like this, it's no wonder the album is #1 on ITunes!

The dancing is simple, yet mesmerizing

The dancing in the film resembles to such performances in "Singing in the Rain" and other classic musical movies. Seeing these dances is a breathe of fresh air compared to today's "dancing".

The ending will make you cry

I'm not one to cry, but the ending of this film will make you ugly cry.

What are you waiting for? Get to the theater and fall in love with La La Land!

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.
