Some long overdue.

I am a big movie fanatic, and rumors about upcoming movies have been flying left and right. Here is a list of movies you should be looking forward to within the next two or three years:

1. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (November 2016)

Based on J.K Rowling’s book, this movie takes place about seven decades before the Harry Potter era. The main character, Newt Scamander, completes a journey to document magical creatures from all over the world, and runs into a Muggle named Jacob. They have an adventure in catching some of Newt’s fantastic beasts, and have to save both the wizarding and Muggle worlds.

2. Star Wars: Episode VIII (December 2016)

The thrilling space saga reaches its eighth installment- after an overwhelming comeback with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This is a continuation of the story that began last December, with an immediate pickup from the scene with Rey and Luke Skywalker. Not many more details about the movie have been released, but we will definitely see characters like Ben Solo, Finn, and Leia Skywalker.

3. Beauty and the Beast (March 2017)

A modern adaption of the classic Disney princess tale. Emma Watson will play Belle, and Dan Stevens will play the Beast. They will keep the tale as similar to the original as possible, and keep the scoring the same. I have always wanted to see a live-action portrayal of this film, and hopefully more princess tales are in the remaking (Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel).

4. Avengers 3: Infinity War Part 1 (May 2018)

Following in the Marvel’s comic book pathway, this movie will feature all the Avengers reuniting, despite the ending of the last movie, where they seemed to go their separate ways. This two-parter (Part 2 to come in 2019), will involve the heroes battling Thanos, the alien warlord from Marvel’s other superhero mash-up, Guardians of the Galaxy. Exciting news has broken that Ant-Man, a.k.a Paul Rudd, will also be making an appearance in this 2018 flick.

5. The Incredibles 2 (June 2019)

This release is long overdue. I have been waiting for a sequel to this movie since I first saw it back in 2004. Rumors of a second film have been flying pretty much since then, as the end of the first movie hints at a sequel. Many movie critics and fans are speculating that this film will take place after the children have grown up, and feature Jack-Jack, the adorable baby, as a confused teenager that may join the dark side. More details to come.

Other movies to look out for:

2017:Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Justice League, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Fast 8, Power Rangers, Alien: Covenant, Transformers: The Last Knight, Cars 3, Baywatch, and Pitch Perfect 3. 2018:Toy Story 4, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Gigantic, Aquaman, Maze Runner: The Death Cure, Avatar 2, Deadpool 2, and S.C.O.O.B.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
