Zac Efron Pulled Off The Perfect Ted Bundy

"Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile" premiered this weekend on Netflix. Many have been waiting for this movie to come out because of Zac Efron. What nobody expected was how convincing he would be.

The movie is depicted from Ted Bundy's long-time girlfriends perspective. It shows the trials and tribulations she went through during his arrests, trials, and eventually death.

Just for starters, Efron shares very similar looks to Bundy. Efron studied so in depth that side by side comparisons make it eerily the same. Put Efron in the clothes that Bundy wore for important moments in his life, and you have an indistinguishable look.

One of the major things that made Ted Bundy a notorious killer was the charm. It's why many people didn't believe that he was capable of killing many people. He used it to his advantage and was good at it.

Zac Efron also has that natural charm. It comes out in every movie he does, which is why he made such a good Ted Bundy. He's just a naturally likable guy which is why his acting as Bundy didn't seem forced at all.

The whole time you watch this movie, the only thing you can think of is that's Troy Bolton playing a serial killer. It's weird for his long-time fans to see a different side in his acting career.

Efron never once made Bundy look like a good guy as many biopics do. He portrayed him exactly as he was and how the world saw him. It makes him that much more of an amazing actor because he showed Bundy for who he was.

Zac Efron was the perfect person to have been chosen to play this role. His acting and looks were spot on and made the film come to life.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
