My “Addams Family” credentials include the following: an obsession with the original movie, a longing for a romance like Morticia and Gomez and, obviously, my position as the smart, eldest daughter in my family with a fervently protective watch over my slightly idiotic younger brother.I loved season one of “Wednesday,” even watching it twice; so naturally, I binged all of season two in one sitting once it was released.

Whether you're a first-year student or a senior, coming back to campus is a time to reconnect with old friends and – hopefully – make some new ones. It can be easy to feel alone, so here are my top recommendations for books about friendship to help you feel a little less lonely.

Margaret Qualley (Honey O’Donahue) and Aubrey Plaza (MG Falcone) star in a new murder mystery movie, where the title itself answers the question of whether or not to see it.
I must warn you: my music taste is all over the place and vastly different from that of the typical college student. Sure, I love my mainstream pop girlies as much as the next person, but I also love my older music, comedic songs and, unfortunately, showtunes, which have infiltrated my recent musical diet a bit more than I’m willing to admit. But my hope is that there are some new songs on here that you have never heard before, and may add to your daily rotations – even if it’s just one or two.All that being said, my Spotify “on repeat” has been quite the trip recently. Buckle up, you’re in for a wild ride!
While Sabrina Carpenter may not be “Man’s Best Friend,” I would so let her be mine.On Aug. 29, the pop sensation released her seventh studio album to the begging hands of anyone who has ever had to deal with a “Manchild,” and let me tell you, I was excited.Much like her last album “Short n’ Sweet,” many of the songs were produced and co-written by Jack Antonoff, who has worked with other artists such as Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Lorde and more.

There are few things I would rather do than watch 20 multi-millionaires hurtle around oddly-shaped tracks in glamorous locales, battling it out in a marvel of instinct, engineering and strategy.It’s a passion that I have sacrificed my sleep schedule, money and, quite frankly, my sanity for, so when it was announced that Lewis Hamilton (arguably the greatest driver of all time and certainly the most decorated) was producing a Formula One (F1) movie, it was inevitable that I would watch it.Directed by Joseph Kosinski (of “Top Gun: Maverick” fame), starring Brad Pitt (“Fight Club” and “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”) and running just over two and a half hours, “F1” was a whirlwind, both good and bad.
For Miami University students, Wednesday nights in Oxford usually mean grabbing dinner with friends, trekking Uptown for Country Night at Brick Street Bar or getting extra sleep before class in the morning.For members of Miami Comedic Relief, alternating Wednesday evenings mean it’s time to perform.The comedians congregate at Bar 1868 every other week for their show. These members represent the few who had the confidence to perform and stuck with it following their first show.
I am not normally a fan of Emily Henry, but I loved her last two books, “Funny Story” and “Happy Place.” When I first heard the plot for “Great Big Beautiful Life,” I was not immediately hooked, but I was still excited because of her previous books that I enjoyed – and “Great Big Beautiful Life” was certainly hyped up.

Summer is finally approaching, which means the long-awaited summer blockbuster season is right around the corner. While it may not be “Barbenheimer” summer anymore, here are some films to look forward to once school lets out for the year.
If you’ve been on social media at all recently, chances are you are familiar with the chicken jockey scene from“A Minecraft Movie.” For those of you fortunate enough to have avoided this, fans have been screaming and throwing things after Jack Black delivers the line, “chicken jockey.”When I’m home from school, I work at a movie theater. Because of this, I’m very passionate about movie theater etiquette, something that seems to have been forgotten recently. Look, I’m all for having fun at the movies. It’s part of what makes the group viewing experience so special.But throwing popcorn and making a mess on purpose? That’s just unnecessary.
