22 Jump Street

I just got back from seeing the movie 22 Jump Street with one of my friends, and lets just be honest, it was even better than the first movie, 21 Jump Street. The movie was hilarious from the start, and for the entire hour and 49 minutes, I was laughing nonstop with everyone else in the theater.

The first movie, 21 Jump Street, features Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum), who are cops that go back to high school disguised as high school students. Once in school, their job is to seek out the dealer of a drug that has been spreading around the school.

This second movie, 22 Jump Street is basically the same plot, except Jenko and Schmidt go to college. But once in college, they both realize that they are going their separate ways, which makes them question their partnership.

When the movie was starting, my friend whispered to me that this movie was "even better than the first one" which raised my expectations as the first scene approached. But the movie met my expectations; I was laughing within the first 5 minutes of the film.

22 Jump Street was, I believe, even better than the first film. The directors, actors, and actresses took it to a completely different level, with more stunts and comedy. After its release date on June 13, it automatically jumped up to become the number one movie in the box office, beating out How to Train Your Dragon 2, and earned $60 million, a 65% increase from the release of the first movie, which earned $36.3 million.

22 Jump Street was the second movie to have the largest opening weekend, as The Hangover Part II took first with an earning of $86 million. Even a week after release date many people are still going to see this movie, and are even going back for their second or third time, not being able to get enough of the comedy. The first movie was fantastic, but this one really stepped it up and brought a whole new twist to the plot, making it even more appealing to audiences around the world.


Here's the trailer for 22 Jump Street:

Getting Through Finals Week

As winter break is approaching and finals week is coming up, many students are stressed about how to study in order to perform successfully on their tests. Here are some tips on how to be calm, well rested, and ready for finals week. 1. Use Quizlet  - I started using Quizlet my junior year of high school, and I have used it ever since. I am now a freshman in college and I still use Quizlet for my classes. Quizlet is amazing; if you have a lot of terms you need to memorize, Quizlet is the perfect online website that will help you study those terms. Once you write in the terms and their definitions, there are a variety of options you can choose in order to study the terms, including a test, flashcards, etc. 2. Get lots of rest - Don't stay out late when you know you have a final the next day. Getting a lot of rest is beneficial if you want to perform well on a test. It does sound lame to go to sleep really early, but if you do so, your body will thank you. By going to sleep early...

Spicy Veggie Bean Chili

Since moving from my old house with a tiny, cramped kitchen to my new house with a large, open kitchen with an island, I have been meal prepping, cooking, and baking a lot more. With this, I have been keen to try new recipes! I do eat meat, but most of the time I tend to cook vegetarian and vegan meals. This vegetarian chili recipe was one that I came across while browsing for a good, hearty chili recipe, and it is so delicious I had to share it with all of you. I did not come up with this recipe myself. The lovely Shannon, with her blog "The Glowing Fridge," posted this recipe. Her website is amazing, and I highly recommend you check it out.
