About Us
My name is Hadley and I am a Forensics major at Michigan State University. Because I am currently in the process of coming of age, I can relate to Ferris Bueller's Day Off and remember how it impacted me the first time I saw it while in middle school. It truly is a classic "must-see" for every teen.
