As a fan of Jane Austen, I'm super excited for this action-packed, horror twist on the 1831 British novel. The movie is based on the novel, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," which came out in 2009. In this alternate universe, a plague turned people into the undead in 19th Century England. Actress Lily James from the live action "Cinderella," stars as the main character Elizabeth Bennet, who is a master of martial arts and weaponry in her quest to fight the dead. And as her leading man, actor Sam Riley from "Maleficent" is playing our beloved Mr. Darcy.

The handsome Henry Cavill will continue his role as Superman, whereas Ben Affleck will be taking the role of Batman. Honestly, I'm not as excited about Affleck because Christian Bale stole my heart as Batman, but I guess we'll see what happens. Israeli model and actress Gal Gadot will be playing Wonder Woman, many may know her from her role in the "Fast and Furious" franchise playing the character Gisele. I'm excited to see how she will do as the new Wonder Women.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
