As someone who gets very busy during the semester, the Friday fIlms offer me and my friends a space to relax for a couple of hours. My friend Sarah and I are both Rose Scholars for the second year, and last year we were roommates. We often times had movie night together, watching films that went with the seasons. However, this year we both live in singles in Rose main. We do not nearly have as much time to watch movies and hang out as we used to. So the Nightmare Before Christmas showing was perfect for us to sit and watch a movie we loved together.

I also really like the Friday FIlms because it lets us participate in an event while also being able to do something else at the same time. I had an essay due at midnight that night, and it was really nice to be able to sit and watch the movie inbetween edits. The Nightmare Before Christmas got me into the Halloween spirit with my friend, but it also let me make sure I got all my work done on time.
