Why I dislike Ross from Friends
I don't like Ross. When Rachel got off the plane to be with him. I was more than a little upset. She was giving up a major opportunity to be with a guy who clearly did not appreciate her work or support her dreams. I mean, she didn't say she was going to stay in France forever. And he considered moving to England to be with Emily, but decided not to because of Ben. But Ben is older now and Emma, his other child who is younger so less able to travel to visit him, would likely be going with Rachel. Really, if he cared about her, he would have encouraged her to go live her dreams. She was really excited about going and it was a great opportunity. If it continued, I would be willing to bet that she resented him for keeping her from that opportunity. And, because Rachel isn't perfect either and tends to be a bit petty, I could see her bringing it up every time they got into an argument going forward.

Trevor WellsPublished 3 years ago in GeeksThe Circle: If Big Brother was an episode of Catfish, made by the Black Mirror creators
Big Brother, the sensation that spanned almost two decades from the turn of the millennium, was the British version of the Dutch reality television franchise of the same name. If you're an adult Briton, the chances are that you've known and loved the show in all of its intrusive glory. Alas, all good things have to sadly come to an end.
Sophia CareyPublished 3 years ago in GeeksBook Review: "The Silent Patient" by Alex Michaelides
When we read thrillers, we are obviously expecting some sort of twist at the end. However, we are also expecting some facts to feel shoehorned in so that the story does not contradict itself or leaves loopholes wide open by the end. This book, however does neither of those things and yet, it is still a brilliant thriller novel. Instead, this story tells us two or three stories and as we follow each one, we have absolutely no idea how they are linked. At first, the book feels like it is jumping around but, as you get deeper and deeper into it, you realise how relevant every single little detail is and how you have completely missed the point.

In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

From New York Times best-selling author Amy Tintera, a high-stakes sci-fi adventure about a teen girl who will do anything to escape her troubled home--even if that means joining a dangerous monster-fighting squad. Perfect for fans of Warcross and Renegades. Seventeen-year-old Clara is ready to fight back.

So when an opportunity arises for Clara to join an international monster-fighting squad, she jumps at the chance. When Clara starts training with her teammates, however, she realizes what fighting monsters really means: sore muscles, exhaustion, and worst of all, death. Scrabs are unpredictable, violent, and terrifying. But as Clara gains confidence in her battle skills, she starts to realize scrabs might not be the biggest evil. The true monsters are the ones you least expect.

I had already heard the rumours of what happened to Fives on here on Kamino. Word had got around pretty fast amongst his fellow commanders and trickled down into the lower ranks. There was an overall sense of slight dread amongst the troops, yet it felt almost inferior in comparison to their loyalty and trust towards the Jedi order.
