1. Have you heard of Phoenix (the movie, not the city)? Ninety-nine percent of the critics on Rotten Tomatoes seemed to love it. The reviews are all telling the same story – you will be hanging on the edge of your seat…”Phoenix takes its time and leaves us guessing until the final electrifying scene” and “Phoenix has a plot that hangs on the edge.” Spoil Alert: the story is set in post WWII, Nelly, a concentration camp survivor, went through reconstruction surgery due to a bullet wound to the face. The surgery renders her unrecognizable to her former husband and Nelly keeps it as a secret as she tries to find out if he’s the one who betrayed her in the first place.

4. If you haven’t heard of the Coffee Challenge, you should definitely try it. It’s a cool concept about putting yourself out of your comfort zone to improve your skills. In a nutshell, the Coffee Challenge takes place when you walk into any coffee store, order a cup of coffee or a muffin and when the cashier charges you, ask for 10% off. There is one simple rule you have to obey in this challenge, that is you cannot make an excuse. This is supposed to teach you something about yourself, you will just have to do it and see it to the end of the challenge.
