As a senior in college, it’s tough to think that maybe I missed out on a “normal” college experience by being a commuter. To some extent, I did. While the majority of students choose to live on campus for at least one year throughout their education, I was never given a great chance, and as a result, I spent three years as a commuter student (not including 2020 when everyone was considered an online student).

Filmmaking is truly an art form. Great filmmaking can take you into the world of the film and make you want more. When the shots are so skillfully done, it makes the audience want to be transported into that world. Film-making and world-building are two massive film foundations. Without one of the two, the film would be less stable. Films should make us imagine ourselves in that world that is shown on screen, and in my opinion, that is great filmmaking.

After about a year and a half, You has finally returned to Netflix on Oct.15 for the third season. When I first saw that it came back, I was excited, but skeptical. After the trailers, as well as how the last season ended, I was curious to see how the new season would play out.

The music world has a lot to thank from the popular social media app TikTok. One of the many talented artists to rise from the app is UK artist Pink Pantheress. Influenced by the likes of Aj Tracey, Paramore, and sounds of Y2K, Pink Pantheress has mixed them all into a sonically pleasing album. Hailing from Bath, England, she introduced a sound that is not typical to most of her American listeners.

It is truly hard to believe that we are over 40 years into the Halloween franchise. The original Halloween came out in 1978! Michael Myers has easily positioned himself as one of the greatest horror characters in movie history, along with Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees. Over 40 years of memories and classic slasher moments have littered this franchise. We got the revival of the series in 2018, which to my surprise was very well done. Jamie Lee Curtis returned with a bang and after at that time breathed new life into the Halloween franchise. Salute to Jamie Lee for giving this franchise everything she has.

Drowning in midterms, work, and just life in general? Not able to relax and have a bit of fun?

So get up, grab a group of friends (or go solo!), cross these things off your October bucket list, and you’ll be back in the Halloween spirit in no time.

Everyone has heard the myth that if you are walking alone and a black cat crosses your path, you are destined to have bad luck. On the other hand, it is said if you cross paths with a white cat, you are destined to have good luck and fortune. This is largely because in history, the color black is associated with death, evil, and ruin, while the color white is associated with purity, heaven, and positivity.

When I was 16, my grandparents were in the early throes of Alzheimer’s disease. My family and I decided it’d be best that they move in with us, so we could give them the support they needed. While I originally considered studying nutrition in college, after being a caregiver for my grandparents, I decided to pursue nursing for my undergraduate degree. While in school, I also worked formally in residential long-term care, first as an aide, and then as a nurse case manager after graduating. My primary role was helping cognitively impaired adults navigate their healthcare and facilitating access to needed services.

Hearing the lyrics “don’t try to chase me, he’ll do so much better” usually would not make someone feel relaxed and light on their feet. Yet this new and talented artist from Montana proves otherwise. Unusual Demont, whose real name is Demontcea Howard, has just released his EP titled “Hues” which is just as colorful and pleasing to the ears as it sounds.

What is the point of making sequels? Is it always necessary? Well folks, let your trusted Eastern Echo movie critic try to shed some light. Sequels should be made to not only retell parts of the original story, but they should also be used in a way to tell a new story with new character arcs, themes, and adventures. Sequels are needed for certain films, and the originals are crafted in a way to lead the audience to be excited about a sequel.

Suicide and mental health are growing social topics. They are important topics that are especially relevant to our youth these days. 16.5% of teens have a diagnosed mental health condition and are becoming more prone to suicide, which is now the third leading cause of death among teens. This film should be a subtle reminder to watch out for the signs and address them, as well as being there for the people you love the most.

Everyone has been raving about the 2021 Met Gala that occurred Sept. 13 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, New York. The theme was “American Independence” for the event, which quite a few guests at the Met Gala did not follow to their best potential.
