Morning Glory


Last weekend I saw a really great movie called Morning Glory. It starred Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, and Diane Keaton. Occasionally with a really great cast like that, the movie doesn’t quite live up to the expectations, as you would think walking into the theater. This movie, however, exceeded every expectation I had for it. I actually didn’t pick out this movie, but my friend did. I had asked her to pick the movie, because I was really busy during the day and did not have time to look online. I was then informed in the car that we were going to see this movie.  I was pleasantly surprised when the movie began. It was uproarious and lovely, and I very much enjoyed it. The movie was about a girl, who got a job as the producer of an early-morning show with a bad reputation, and she had to turn the show around or it would be cancelled. I would definitely recommend it if you’re in the mood for a nice romantic comedy.

Favorite Pastimes

An "artsy" photo of Crayons
Everyone has a guilty pleasure, some extremely embarrassing, and some just eating raw cookie dough from the tub. I’ve come to realize that many young adults have a secret pastime but as they grow older, they tend to grow out of it. For example, one of my best friends used to be sickeningly attached to a childish cartoon on Nickelodeon. I won’t lie, I liked the show too, but she was obsessed. Everyday before and after school she would watch it. She had all the seasons, and we would watch it on Saturday nights at sleepovers. Over that summer I went to camp, and when I got back she had already grown out of it. Maybe she didn’t like watching it without me, or maybe she just got bored from watching reruns. (The show had stopped airing.) I’m not really sure what happened. At the moment, I am not really into any television shows. This, however, changes frequently. I’ve noticed that all too often, my sense of style and fascination in different subjects change. For instance, right now I love coloring with crayons. From time to time, I collect some paper and my 64 crayons and just draw. It is very elementary, but I love it. It’s so easy to just let it all out on paper. I guess what I am trying to say, is that everyone has a guilty pleasure, but it is constantly changing. I'm sure that in a few months, I won't find coloring as nearly exciting as it is right now. What is your guilty pleasure?
