The Interview Review

Hi guys, I'm back, my baby (my laptop) is back, the holidays are pretty much over, and we are back into the swing of our everyday lives. Many of you have heard about this movie in the news lately, everything from hackers, terrorism, etc. Some people think the hacks and terrorism threats are true, yet others think it was all just a plain publicity stunt? What do you think? Leave your own opinion in the comments section, I would love to read them!

Anyways, let's get on to my review of The Interview...



Movie Title: The Interview
Rachel's Rating: 4 stars

     So, a few months ago when I saw one of the first previews for The Interview, I wasn't really all that excited. Sure, I was excited to see James Franco (who isn't, honestly?) Seth Rogen, and a few other cool actors in a movie about one of the most popular leaders of a country and how they try to "take him out" (ha, get what I did there *insert that one smirky emojii face here*). However, with all of the popularity, and comments about the movie, it's release, etc., etc. I actually kind of wanted to see it. Since the movie was released, not only in a few theaters, but also pretty much all over the Internet, my family decided to rent it on our Xbox 360 (there's also GooglePlay, YouTube, and a few other websites with the movie, just check out theinterviewmovie.com).
     Going into the movie, I had really low expectations. I knew it was going to be at least funny and entertaining watching a dynamic comedy duo and a very political topic, but I was actually pretty surprised! The movie starts off with a very haunting, somewhat, performance of a little girl singing about her love for North Korea and her hatred for the United States. Throw in a little bit of a story build up about Dave Skylark (James Franco's character) and how he is a very famous celebrity on a celebrity tabloid show, his producer Aaron (Seth Rogen) is feeling a bit down because the show isn't completely recognized as a real TV news show. All of a sudden North Korea decides to target the US with their new nuclear missiles and everyone goes crazy! Just so happens, Dave Skylark lands an interview with North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un (Randall Park).
     Overall, I thought it was a really good movie, some parts were pretty laugh out loud funny and other parts were actually pretty serious with a few good facts about each country and how their political systems are ran. I would also like to mention that my favorite part of the whole movie was James Franco singing Katy Perry's Firework. Now, if you know me in person, I love both Katy and James very very much, so it was the perfect combination! Definitely watch the movie if you're a fan of one, or both, celebrities, you will be laughing your head off for a good two minutes. In the end, I suggest you see The Interview just to know about the movie everyone is talking about so you can keep up with the news, and for a few good laughs.

Apple


     Many people have asked me several questions about Apple, their products, the store, customer service, if Mac is better than Windows, etc. Well, all I have to say is that I love Apple and Mac products. My whole life I grew up with Windows and Microsoft. I loved it, no complaints whatsoever. Of course there are a few bad things, but I'm pretty positive and just kept going down the path of life. Well, a few years ago right before my junior year of high school my dad decided to switch my computer from a Windows PC to a Mac Mini.
     Now at this point in time I had already owned a third generation iPod Nano and an iPod Touch third generation (I loved both by the way), so I had mixed feelings about switching, but I was very excited because I have always wanted a Mac computer. Ever since then I have been a full Mac/Apple loving gal. So, of course you might have a few questions for me now that I have stated my side of the argument, well, I am here to answer those basic questions that many of you may have.


1) What's so different about Mac from Windows? What makes it better?

      In my own personal experience I believe Macs are easier to use than Windows. The user interface for a Mac is pretty self explanatory, you click an icon and it pulls up the program. All of your programs you're looking to use are already on your Mac, for FREE. Wanna edit a photo? Just open up iPhoto, the same place where you store your photos. iTunes stores your music, syncs your iPhone or iPod, Address Book saves your contacts, you can use the Apple Calendar or Apple Mail for those specific tasks, iMovie helps edit movies with a super easy interface that ANYONE could use. All of these programs are already installed on your computer once you take it out of the box. 
     Worried about viruses? No problem. With Windows you have probably had tons of viruses and tried out a wide variety of anti-virus programs. With Mac, it has a built in anti-virus system. It is EXTREMELY rare to have a virus on a Mac. If you do, just take it to an Apple Store or call of Apple Care, they will gladly help you without a doubt.
     Don't know if the price is worth the investment? I understand your problem. I was nervous about spending over $1,000 on a computer as well, but it is definitely worth it. During the time that i have had my Mac Mini (three years now) my cousin has purchased TWO different Dell Laptops due to the many various reasons of her computer problems, updated items and such, you get the point. Macs just last longer. My Uncle gave me his old Macbook laptop from back in 2003, I still have it, it still works with all of the same programs it has had since the beginning of it's usage. Macs are just better when it comes to life expectancy. 


2) How's Apple's Customer Service?

     The Apple Store has the very best top of the line customer service. Worried about switching over to a Mac? Don't be, just take one step into an Apple Store and there will be a friendly face waiting for you willing to answer any questions you have, point you in the right direction of the electronic you are looking for. If you don't want to talk for too long, you don't have to. Once an Apple associate shows you where to find your desired electronic, they leave to let you play around with the device for as long as you would life. At first it's pretty awkward playing on a random computer or iPod, but then you get sucked into the beauty of the device and end up walking out of the store with your very own copy of it.
     When you think your device is broken and have no where to turn, don't worry, Apple has got you covered. Before starting college I received a MacBook Pro as a graduation present. This past week, after taking an online quiz for my Psychology class, my laptop screen became all green and fuzzy (similar to how "snow" looks on your TV, only a bit more visible and green). I tried everything I could to fix the computer, but nothing was happening. Finally, I decided to schedule an appointment at the Apple Store with my Mac Mini. There are plenty of appointment times and days to choose from. The Apple website asked me if I had called Apple Care (I didn't because I google the symptoms of my computer, and apparently it's a common issue with the GPU [Graphic Processing Unit]). I showed up to my appointment an hour early, checked in, and waited 20 minutes and I was helped out by one of their employees at the help desk, which they call a genius bar. Their employee assisted me, asking me simple questions about what went wrong with my laptop, but he also asked me questions about my hobbies and school while performing a diagnostics test on my computer. Turns out I had to send my laptop to the company, the warranty covered all expenses, so they could fix it and return it back to me before seven days (how many times has a company said that and you have to call them every week for a month or two to get back your computer or device that still doesn't work? Yeah, that doesn't happen with Apple at all). Although I am without my baby (the laptop) for a week, I know that it is in good hands and that I have made a few friends with the employees at the Apple Store in the process.

3) The third question is...

     Whatever else you want it to be! Feel free to ask me any questions you want down in the comments. Of course I will try my best to answer your question(s) as soon as possible, but in the mean time, you can call Apple, or head down to your nearest Apple Store. Their employees will be more than happy to answer any and all of your questions.



This is not a paid for advertisement or anything like that for Apple and Mac products, I just wanted to say how great of a company they are and how much they have made my life a better, technology wise. But seriously, I love them. Thank you for taking care of my baby Apple! I hope to have her back in my arms super soon (I know I will). 

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my random post about Apple, have a great day!

Bath and Body Works Fall Candle Review 2014

     Although it may be the beginning of winter, I would like to post my review of a few fall seasonal candles I bought from Bath and Body Works.

Candle Scent: Pumpkin Cinnamon Bun in the Mason Jar Version
Rachel's Rating: 2 stars

     The first candle is called Pumpkin Cinnamon Bun. I bought it in a deal on the Mason jars that Bath and Body Works features throughout the year. I purchased this scent along with Pumpkin Spiced Waffle ( I think that's what it's called if I remember correctly). Now, the other candle I bought was amazing! I loved the scent so much that I bought a second car air freshener pack of it because it made my car smell like a plate of delicious waffles! This candle, not so much, sadly. It only made my room smell for a few minutes when I first lit it, but every time after that it didn't smell at all. Along with the lack of scent to the candle, the candle didn't last as long as I hopped it would. Of course I realize that it's a Mason candle and not their 3 wick candles, but I was hoping for it to last a bit longer than the five days (burning for about an hour or two each day) that the candle did last for. Overall, I was somewhat disappointed, but I did love the Pumpkin Spiced Waffle candle that I purchased along with this one. I read a few other customer reviews about the Pumpkin Spiced Waffle Fall Scent and they loved it as well, so hopefully Bath and Body Works will bring back the scent next year like how they did this winter season with Vanilla Bean Noel, that would be very exciting!



 Candle Scent: Pumpkin Cupcake the 3 Wick Version
Rachel's Rating: 3 stars

     So I realized when I finished burning this candle last night that I didn't take a picture of it, but if you wanted to know, the wax was a nice orange pumpkin color, if you're into that type of thing, haha! Anyways, I liked this candle to a certain degree. It wasn't my all time favorite candle of all time from Bath and Body Works, but I liked it enough to finish burning it. When I was in the store and I sniffed this candle the scent was amazing. They seemed to have captured the right combination between how a pumpkin smells and how a Vanilla Cupcake smells. Now, Vanilla Cupcake is my absolute favorite smell of all time. A few years ago my best friend had a Vanilla Cupcake perfume and it was the most beautiful smell I have ever smelt (that's a pretty weird sentence now that I think about it). I got home and I lit the candle for about a week and a half (burning about 2 hours of more each day) and I was happy about how long the candle lasted, which is good since it was a 3 wick version and I spent enough money on it with the buy two of the 3 wick candles for $22 (great deal by the way, if you can't get to their annual $8 3 Wick Candle day), but I wasn't too happy about how long the scent lasted. This candle was pretty weird, and I realize that it might have been me who was the weird one, but I would rather think it  was the candle because I would burn it for 2-3 hours a day and either I got used to the scent in my bedroom, or the candle seemed to lose it's smell after the first hour of it being burnt. I'm not quite sure how I feel about this candle. I could see them brining back this scent next season because Vanilla is such a common favorite with many men and women, but I don't think it will be one of the first scents I put in my bag next year during the fall season.


That's it for this year's fall candle review! My winter candle review should be out in a few weeks so look forward to that coming soon! Have a scent filled day everyone!

Howdy, It's Been a Long Time!

     Hey guys, I know it's been a few days since my last post. First semester college finals consumed me, along with my two jobs, family life, social life, etc. Obviously, all of those come first. Anyways, it's now winter break for about a month (yes, a MONTH :D ) and I am prepared to spend a majority of my time doing whatever I like during Winter Break because I'm not too happy with my final grades this past semester and I would like to focus 99% of my time studying. My future depends on these grades, and my children and grandchildren also depend on these. Every single action during this time in my life effects my future. *Sigh* that's a lot of pressure.
     Anyways, look forward to my next post with a bunch of reviews about a few items from my favorite store, Bath and Body Works (I'm not quite sure how I want to figure it out format and review wise, so I can't release an exact date). There's going to be a few other posts and such along the way this Winter Break like video game reviews, book reviews, daily updates, and such. Pretty much just look forward to posts more often than they have been for the next few weeks.

     See you all soon! Don't forget to like the blog's Facebook page by clicking the Facebook icon on the right and enter your email for automatically sent notifications for whenever there's a new post. I hope you all have a WONDERFUL day :)

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part One Review

This post is way long past overdue, but when you're a college student the week before finals, school is a bit more of a priority than blogging (sadly). Anyways, here is a review for the newest segment of the Hunger Games!



The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part One
Rachel's Rating: 5 stars!

Alright, you so if you don't know me personally, I absolutely LOVE the Hunger Games trilogy. I read the very first book a month after it came out, thanks to one of my friends letting me borrow her copy of this "very awesome and unique book", and let's just say, ever since then, I have been in love with the whole entire series, world of Panem, and every single little detail about Suzanne Collin's book trilogy. So of course, this review might be a bit biased since I am a very old school fan of the series, but I'll try my best to keep it unbiased with the least amount of spoilers as possible.

Okay, so I have seen the movie three times in theaters since it came out about two weeks ago (once at midnight, on that weekend, and the following Wednesday) and I was not bored of the movie at all. Each time I saw it, I noticed new things about the movie, and things about the audience. It is hilarious watching the reactions of the women in the audience, but haven't read the books, and how they experience the cliff hanger ending, so funny!

Time for a synopsis!
The movie picks up about three days after the second movie, Catching Fire, ended with Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and District 12. It starts off building up on how District 13 is run by President Coin (Julianne Moore) and how they have survived for these past few years under the Capitol's radar. It's a very interesting build up of District 13, I just wished they had a bit more details like the book, but of course not every single movie based off of a book is going to be an exact replica. Katniss is nursed back to health, as much as possible, since she's still a bit cray cray from the games and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) being held prisoner in the Capitol. Plutarch (Phillip Seymour Hoffman, in one of his final roles) and President Coin question Katniss and ask her to be their "Mockingjay" of the revolution against the capitol and President Snow (Donald Sutherland) of course Katniss is hesitant and has a few conditions. There's some old friends that join Katniss in District 13, like Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), Gale (Liam Hemsworth), and Effie (Elizabeth Banks) to make the story a bit more interesting and to add comedic relief.

Enjoy the second to last movie in the book based series, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part One. I know I did! I think it really means something when I have seen the movie three times (so far) and I consider Mockingjay to be my least favorite book in the whole entire series. I have to say Francis Lawrence (the director of Catching Fire and the two Mockingjay films with no relation to the beautiful and gorgeous Jennifer Lawrence) did an excellent job with this film, and the second part is ready to be released, since he filmed it the same time as part one, and he should release it early. Just saying ;)

Overall, I give the film five stars!
Now, enjoy this picture of me dressed up as Katniss Everdeen from this past Halloween...

First Year Freshmen College Students

Sorry that I haven't posted anything in a week or so, I've been busy with school. Finals are coming up, so I'm trying to get all of my school work done and then start studying with less than 15 days left of school (YIKES)! Any pointers/tips for first year college freshmen? I would love to see them, and so would many readers!

Check out my top 5 pointers for college freshmen...

1) Attend class, as much as possible at least. I know that in high school everyone thought it was going to be soooooo cool to ditch class in college, or show up late. Granted, it's pretty cool showing up to class late, but try not to make a habit of it. You miss out on so much information whenever you skip class, and teachers more than likely won't go over it again just for you, unless they're super nice and you visit them during their office hours.

2) Do the homework! Yes, it's college, and yes, homework still matters. I can't even begin to tell you how many times that I have completed my homework and it has provided a little cushion for all of my test grades. It always helps the gluteus maximus when you have a little cushioning!

3) Keep an agenda/planner/sticky notes/etc. whatever it is that you find helpful to remind you about future events coming up. My agenda is now my baby. With so many assignments for different classes at different times of the week, and my work schedule, my agenda has given me that extra bit a of reassurance that I need to keep my sanity in school.

4) Syllabus- you'll more than likely get one from your professor for each class on the first day of school. That syllabus shall be your child. Treat it like one. Listen to it, observe it, love it, treasure it. In the end, it will be your savior for the rest of the semester.

5) Meet with your advisor- Just like in high school when you did a credit check with your counselor, meet up with your advisor. Sometimes you might have multiple advisors. I had three different advisors this year, one for peer advising (where an upperclassman tells you what study habits help and what classes can go towards your degree, mainly necessary to meet up with them as a homework assignment for your first year seminar class), then I had my actual advisor who is for the college of sciences, since I am a Biology major, and finally, a pre-professional advisor who helped me select the proper courses and change my major from Chem to Bio in order to prepare me to apply for graduate school within the next four years.

That's all of my pointers and tips that I can think of at 12:38 in the morning. I hope you guys enjoyed them and they will help you out somehow! If you have any tips, feel free to leave them in the comments section down below... have a fabulous day!


OH! I have another one!
BEWARE- THE FRESHMAN 15 IS REAL! I didn't think that I would gain any weight because I live off campus, but it happens. I have already gained 8 pounds, luckily I have also lost three, so hopefully it will all cancel out in the end, but just a heads up. The "Freshman 15" is no joke, sadly :(

Bates Motel Season One

So, yesterday I finished watching the first season of Bates Motel. Let's just say... what the heck happened!?!?! Of course I won't post any spoiler alerts, and I DON'T want any written in the comments down below pretty pretty please.

All I have to say though is that if you haven't seen Bates Motel yet, definitely put it on your watch list and make it the number one thing you must watch next on Netflix, and of course The Office, awesome show by the way. Also, if you haven't seen Alfred Hitchcock's original film, Psycho, please watch that before viewing Bates Motel, since the whole TV series is a prequel to the film.

Anyways, so Bates Motel is a TV show series that is a prequel to the movie, Psycho. It's about a 17 year old boy named Norman Bates (played by Freddie Highmore, who in my opinion, has always been a major cutie) who is a bit different from all the other male human specimens his age. He moves to a new town with his mom, who just so happens to be called Norma Bates (coincidence? I think not! She is played by Vera Fermiga, an Academy Award nominated actress) after the death of his father. They m
ove to this pretty cool ancient house that is also located on the same property as a motel, which his mom plans to open up soon. You get the idea, Norman tries to be normal while helping his mom run a motel in this new town, well add in a few creepy weirdos and teenager problems and that's pretty much a simplified run down of the first season. It's totally awesome!!

If you were wondering, yes, I do have season 2 ready to go, all I need is my cat, a blanket, and a cup of hot cocoa and I'm set for the rest of the night! See you guys later, I'm off to go start season 2!

11/ 11- 11/15

I know that it's been a few days since my first two posts (whoops) it's mainly because of school and my work schedule, haha! Anyways, here is an update for all of you out there. I've been thinking of posting a weekly update on my blog anyways, haha!

11/11- Tuesday
I made this blog, Zoboomafoo and the lady who voiced Ms. Wolowitz on The Big Bang Theory died. So sad.

11/12- Wednesday
I had school for pretty much the whole day. It was a very awkward day for me too, like you know those days you get a times where you just feel like the weirdest person in the whole world? Yeah, that was me. I'll tell you a story about happened on that day....

So, back in high school I won the perfect attendance award for all four years of high school (I know, either I'm a super nerd, idiot, or have a high tolerance immune system; let's go with all three), back to the story, so I absolutely HATE being late to anything or not showing up. Well, on Wednesday it was about two minutes before my class was about to start so I was fast walking like those women you see on the side of the road at nine in the morning fast walking to get exercise, and I was turning the corner and who did I run directly into? My professor, yup, literally. Talk about being hella awkward, I literally ran into my professor, so embarrassing.  I quickly babbled a sorry and went to class. So, that was my hump day....

11/13- Thursday
This is my work day since it's my one day that I don't have to go to school. The day started off with watching the new Melissa McCarthy movie, Tammy, with my mama. It was a cute little movie talking about a woman and all of her life problems. We rented it from Amazon Prime for that 48 hour rental? Well, it was only 23 hours and they decided to remove it from our account and we didn't get to watch the last ten minutes (EXACTLY 10 MINUTES AMAZON!) because I got called into work. Then for the rest of the day I was at work, got off of work and completed my math homework.

11/14- Friday
Friday is when I have my earliest class, and my least favorite class, not for the reason that it is early, but for the reason that my teacher is an old man who likes to harshly grade all of the essays we write. Since it is my first year at college I don't really know anyone besides people who went t my high school of course. So, this class is where my first and pretty much only non-high school friend sees me everyday. Well, she knows that I get Jamba Juice everyday after class as my own personal achievement for surviving the week. Well, she decided to buy me Jamba Juice! Obviously, this was a huge highlight of my day and I clearly don't deserve her as a friend, haha! Then for the rest of the day I went to work.

11/15- Saturday
Saturday was an awesome day. First, I started off the day by going to work, again. Then, after work I met up with some of my close friends and we went to Rachel's Kitchen (yup, my own kitchen, just kidding, it was the actual restaurant, tricked you, didn't I?) I had a Cesar salad with chicken while we were there, it was da bomb! I would give the meal and the restaurant's environment a 7/10, they had some pretty cool mosaic tables there. After going to Rachel's Kitchen we went to go see a concert that we have been planning on seeing for a while now. The show was Relient K's 10th anniversary tour of their album, Mmhmm, which is a great album by the way! First to play was From Indian Lakes, a pretty cool Indie band that was recommended to me by a cool friend, then it was Blondfire. Now, I knew that Blondfire was going to be one of the opening acts, but sometimes I like to just listen to the music of a new band while they are playing live so I can just get a feel for them, which is how I fell in love with one of my favorite bands (Echosmith, about a month before Cool Kids became a hit on the radio and everyone knew about them). So, I saw them only knowing like three of their songs, which ended up being good because they were great live! They also did a cover of Fleetwood Mac's song Dreams, which was totally awesome! Of course, the main part of the night was Relient K, who put on a fantastic show! Since it was the 10th anniversary of their Mmhmm album, they decided to play every single album off of the album, so a total of 14 songs, then a little intermission, and 10 more songs from their other albums. The show was a whole lot of fun and the people I hung out with the whole time were awesome as well, of course! After the show was over we went to Yogurtland (where I have a membership card because I'm just that cool, ahaha) and then I headed home for the night.



So that was these past few days without blogging all crammed together into one post for you guys to enjoy! Here are a few extra things that have been my favorites during the week...

Favorite Album/Song/Artist of the Week- Collapsible Lung by Relient K
OH! and Taylor Swift's new single, Blank Space! That's a super catchy song!
Favorite Show of the Week- Bates Motel! I'm on the last episode of season one and I'm so excited to watch it, whenever I have the time!
Favorite Food- That Cesar salad with chicken from my kitchen, haha!
Favorite Video Game- Well, I've only had a chance to play like 10 minutes of Harvest Moon: A Tale of Two Towns for the 3DS

Alright, so that's it for this post! I promise that I will write another one sooner than this one! Meanwhile, enjoy these pretty cool pictures my friends and I took during the Relient K show....
