The ‘Right’ College Myth
That’s how you have to think of college and the idea of a dream school. It’s burnt toast. If you didn’t get in, you weren’t meant to be there – the true test of who you are is making the best of somewhere you hadn’t really considered.
5 Max Shows to Watch to Procrastinate Midterms
Midterms are horrible. They feel particularly bad this year, although this feeling may come from my overdramatic interpretation of everything that happens to me at any given moment.

So, to enable you and your bad habits, here are 5 shows to watch while you ignore midterms.
7 Movies USC Students Should Watch With Their Free Max Subscription
As some consider me to be a “film person” – which mainly stems from my parents showing me a lot of old movies when I was younger – people occasionally ask me for film recommendations. Additionally, since I was once in SCA, some of these are pretentious and annoying choices! You can add them to your Letterboxd and proceed to act better than everyone else, you have my blessing.

4 Reasons Off-Campus Housing is Better
Living on campus is a dream, mostly in the sense that you romanticize it in your own head. Before moving to college, living in a dorm seems really cool (not for me because I was terrified of communal bathrooms but still); you get to basically live in a building with all the people you know and campus is a step or two away.
