5 Movies That Came Out In 2017 You Should See Before The Year Ends

A lot of good movies came out this year, and if you are like me, you might not have the time or budget to go see them all. So I have made a list of my favorite five films that came out this year to narrow it down for you. Have fun binge-watching, and just in time for the holidays! My list, in no particular order...

1. "Baby Driver" (dir. Edgar Wright).

Summary: "Baby Driver" follows an incredible getaway driver (played by Ansel Elgort) who relies on the beat of his music to help him drive. After paying off a depth and meeting the girl of his dreams, he plans to make a clean getaway, although it's easier said than done.

2. "Dunkirk" (dir. Christopher Nolan).

Summary: In May 1940, Germany invaded France and trapped allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. In this film, you get to see the experiences of three different people: a mole within the span of a week, someone on a boat during a day, and someone in the air for only an hour. The soundtrack and the overall ambiance of this film are captivating; this is a must-see.

3. "Wonder Woman" (dir. Patty Jenkins).

Summary: Diana was raised to become a warrior and princess on a sheltered island in the Amazons. The fate of the world is threatened and Diana takes it upon herself to save it. Fighting side-by-side with men in the middle of a brutal war, Diana learns more about herself than she ever thought she would.

4. "Get Out" (dir. Jordan Peel).

Summary: Chris and his girlfriend, Rose, have reached a point in their relationship — time to meet the parents. While staying with them for a weekend up-state, strange things start to happen, and it all comes back to one thing: this family. This film really surprised me, highly recommend!

5. The Big Sick (dir. Michael Showalter).

Summary: Kumail is a Pakistani comedian who meets Emily at one of his stand-up shows. Their unexpected relationship gets more serious than either of them thought and Kumail starts to get concerned about what his very traditional Muslim parents will think of their relationship. I don't want to summarize too much here because I don't want to give too much away, but you should really see this film. There are so many elements involved in this movie that will make you laugh, cry, and cringe.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Laugh, Cry, and Relate: Chandler Bing's Best Quotes

Because Chandler Bing should be everyone's spirit animal.

Stetson University

Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
