The Summer I Turned Pretty

 

The Summer I Turned Pretty is one of my favorite shows that I have watched lately. I know this show has been running the past 3 summers but this season was my favorite so far. This show has a major love triangle between Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah. The boys are brothers who recently lost their mother and they both love Belly and want the best for her. I feel like this show is a great example of what people were obsessed with over the summer and into the fall of '25. This show has a lot of different lessons I feel like especially with choosing friends over a boy as well as how important it is to live your life to the fullest and not let a guy make you lose yourself and not travel just because he can't. Belly almost lost the opportunity of a lifetime when she chose staying with jeremiah who had to repeat his last year of college and she stayed with him instead of studying abroad for the semester. I feel like she could've had both if she wasn't so scared of losing him while losing herself in the process.

    I love The Summer I Turned Pretty! I definitely agree; she could've had both if she was more willing to take the risk for herself rather than trying to please Jeremiah. I've been watching the show since the first season came out and I can't wait for the movie!

    I so agree! I understand you love Jeremiah but if he loved you he would want you to go to Paris.

    I definitely agree with what you're saying! Love is a two-way street of sacrifice and if he loved her, he would've understood why leaving to study abroad was best for her. They could have made the distance work while still achieving both their goals instead of having Belly sacrifice so much for him.

    This show started off as a chore my girlfriend made me do and it turned into me actually being interested in it. It's a great show.

A Heated Rivalry or Wicked Misogyny?

Image
 As someone who may hold bias to the extent that I refuse to watch Heated Rivalry, I think it's important to state that I've seen a couple of episodes, and the show just isn't for me. I've also watched both the Wicked movies starring Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande. Now you are probably wondering what these two media films have in common. Well, nothing to be exact, and I think that's the preface we must state first.  This isn't about the series/movies, it's about the co-stars, but first, here's a little context you may need to understand where I am coming from. Arianna Grande plays in the musical adaptation of Wicked and Wicked for Good, directed by Jon M. Chu. She takes on the role of playing Galina (Galinda the Good), she is a very privileged and self-absorbed young woman who attends Shiz University and ends up facing an internal battle of being for the people or wanting her personal desire to keep her bond with Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Wit...

Intro/Post-Grad Plans!

Hi everyone, My name is Emily Webb, and I’m from Frederick, Maryland. I am a senior majoring in Digital Culture & Design with a double minor in Graphic Design and Social Media. I am currently finishing up my applications for Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in Technology Education or Art Education. My goal is to become a secondary teacher for digital arts courses. I am excited about combining my love for digital media with teaching and helping students develop both creative and technical skills. Outside of school, I enjoy crafting with my Cricut. I love designing projects and bringing them to life by pressing my designs onto clothes and other items. Creating something tangible from a digital idea is really rewarding. I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing ideas, and learning from your experiences this semester!  If you’re a senior, what are your post-grad plans (I know, the dreaded question), and if you’re not, what are you hoping to do after gradua...
