Like her fictional family, the Bravos, author Laura Smith’s life and writing are shaped by the actions and consequences of her family.

“I’m always really moved to see how strong family ties can be. Even when your family members are driving you crazy, there’s this thread, I think, that runs underneath that you really can’t shake and that you don’t want to shake,” said Smith, adjunct English professor at Flagler College.

Though classified as a comedy, Admission did more than just give my abs a work out. It also made a lump in my throat appear and some serious sympathy surface.

I expected Oz: The Great and Powerful to be an entertaining prequel to the original 1939 The Wizard of Oz, but despite impressive graphics I was disappointed in the characters’ lack of, well, character.Oz (James Franco) himself is a lying, cheating and arrogant charmer. What a poor example for a child of a worthwhile suitor.

What do you do when you’re stressing about school?
