Everything Must Go

Everything Must Go, a movie starring Will Ferrell, is brilliant. Some critics, and movie watchers alike, did not have much to say about this movie, except that it was not all that good. I disagree. Ferrell is just as amazing in his dramatic acting as he is in his comedic acting. The movie is a wonderful character study of Nick Hasley (Ferrell's character).



Hasley is an alcoholic who has lost everything in a matter of days. This should not have been a surprise to him because he was pretty much asking for it with his drinking mishaps (one in particular, but I do not want to ruin the movie for anyone reading this). Throughout the movie he struggles, and eventually, at the end of the story, comes to a sort of peace.


As I said before I do not want to give too much away, but it is a must see in my book. Everything Must Go is not an action packed, special effects, film. Do not expect this at all. The movie is a brilliant story, which is told through Ferrell's character's actions. Ferrell himself makes this movie worth a view!

A Ramble on Guns and Mental Health

Recently I have seen more and more posts on social media websites about gun control, the lack there of, or there being too much. The recent shooting at an elementary school in Pennsylvania is an awful tragedy that has happened and many people believe that these kinds of incidents would not happen if guns were not allowed to be in the hands of citizens. I do not know exactly where I stand on the gun issue, but I do know that anyone who is inclined to murder a multitude of people has a mental issue, and I think that society needs to address these issues when related to guns and the well-being of all citizens.

The Heaviest Sword

“Belief is a beautiful armor, but makes for the heaviest sword” – John Mayer             What makes us believe in something? Why do we feel that we must believe in anything? Is there anyone out there who truly believes in nothing?  Or better yet, is there anyone in the world who truly believes in something?              Most children believe in Santa Claus.  I never did.  I pretended to for the sake of my parents, but by the time I was six years old, I told them I didn’t believe in him.  Many of my friends believed in Santa well beyond six years old and I didn’t let them know I knew the truth. I did often wonder how my friends never caught on though. Maybe they did and were just pretending, as to not ruin anyone else’s belief in the magic of good ole St. Nick.

Psi Chi

Today I was inducted into the International Psychology Honor Society! When I first got the email saying because of my academic record and involvement in psychology that I was invited to join this prestigious society I was very elated, but that excitement dwindled away being that the email was received a month or so before the actual ceremony.  However, the induction today brought that feeling back, and with a risk of sounding a bit over confident, I am very proud! With only a year and a half left of my undergraduate career, I am looking forward to applying for jobs and this honor will look fantastic on a resume.  Although I have changed my major to Mass Communications with a focus in Public Relations, I am still minoring in Psychology, and perhaps will even get my bachelors in the psychology field after graduating.  Either way I am extremely humbled and proud to be a member of Psi Chi!
