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!

Worth It?

     Driving home from MI tonight, I became inspired by Taylor Swift's lyrics from her record Folklore . I haven't been inspired to write much in years. I wrote a Haiku yesterday in three minutes and it felt great. Poetry usually isn't my thing, but some of my creative writing students asked if I'd be their advisor for Poetry Club and I am delighted that I agreed! For the first time in nearly six years, I'm writing. Anyway, here is an erasure poem of the song "This is Me Trying" by Taylor Swift.     Worth It? I've been having a hard time adjusting  I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting  I didn't know if you'd care if I came back  I have a lot of regrets about that   Pulled the car off the road to the lookout   Could've followed my fears all the way down  And maybe I don't quite know what to say  But I'm here in your doorway  I just wanted you to know   That this is me trying  I just...

Oh Finals.....

Finals are slowly approaching, which means I will be devoting most, if not all, of my time to my wonderful textbooks. Studying and paper writing will be consuming my next few weeks! Perhaps I will post a paper or two that I have written when all is said and done. Look forward to reading about Anxiety and Addiction, or a paper written about the effects of tobacco and alcohol advertising and whether or not I believe it should cease to exist! I will not give my opinion on that subject away yet! Until next time here's to hoping finals go smoothly!!!

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!
