Why is the world suddenly so obsessed with Taylor Swift? And why are we—specifically, why are Christians—investing so much of our time and money in an artist who is living in darkness and seems to be proud of it?
Why I’m Not a Swiftie
What I Learned About My Future Husband from Lost
But one character whom I’ve liked since Season 1 of Lost is Jack Shephard. Honestly, he’s not particularly attractive. He often looks dirty, grimy, and sweaty (which is purposeful, of course, but is still a turn-off). Still, he’s my favorite character on the show because he’s unwaveringly strong.
Why I Don’t Like “Treat You Better” by Shawn Mendes
I've written about Shawn Mendes’ music once before, and I couldn’t help but address another one of his hit singles, “Treat You Better.” This song is a little dated, but it still plays on the radio. And honestly, it’s a goldmine for me—I have a lot of zingers that I could share with you about this song. Get ready to hate Shawn Mendes’ guts. (Just kidding. I’m not encouraging you hate him—just to evaluate his music with fresh eyes!)
Why I Don’t Like “Stitches” by Shawn Mendes
Although Shawn Mendes' song "Stitches" is several years old, I didn't really get into it until recently. I was drawn to the sassy lyrics, the catchy beat, and Shawn Mendes’ voice—of course. But as I listened to this song over and over, I couldn’t help but feel guilty. Why was I listening to this depressing song about a difficult heartbreak with no resolution except…well…death?
What I Learned About Celebrity Crushes from Win a Date with Tad Hamilton
I wasn’t going to be one of them—a fangirl who has to see every single movie with Actor A because he’s so hot and charming. Until I did become one of them—a fangirl who has to see every single movie with Actor A because he’s so hot and charming.
5 Reasons You Need to Watch The Chosen
At first, I wasn’t super impressed with The Chosen. I thought that the episodes ended really well; they just seemed long and drawn out up until the ending. But I'm so glad that I kept watching it. If you haven't seen it yet (or weren't a big fan of the first episode that you saw), here are five reasons why you should try it (or try it again).
Why I Don’t Like Finding You
Last week, I watched a movie called Finding You, which is based on a fiction book called There You’ll Find Me by Jenny Jones. While I appreciate that Finding You didn't have any sex scenes, I was disappointed by how unrealistic the plot was. The happy ending for the main character—Finley Sinclair—was super unrealistic. After all, what average American student actually studies abroad in Ireland, meets a handsome single actor who's smitten with her, and earns a spot in the Manhattan Conservatory of Music? None that I know of.
Why I Don’t Like “Just the Way You Are” by Bruno Mars
I'd heard "Just the Way You Are" before, but I hadn't seen the music video for it until a classmate shared it in a presentation for class recently. At first, the lyrics made me feel good. The song made me think of similar songs, like the crazy popular hit “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction. But then I understood the message that this song was sending—especially when it was combined with the music video.
Movie Review: Breakthrough
When I watched Breakthrough, I almost cried—multiple times. The entire movie felt like an emotional rollercoaster, but maybe that's what made it so powerful. It was incredibly well-made, and I definitely think that it's worth watching, especially if you're in a season of waiting.
