Why I'll Never Skip The Movie Previews

If you have read any of my previous articles, you would know I am a huge movie person. I love going to the movies, buying DVD's and watching them over and over again. One of my favorite parts about going to the movie theater is the trailers before the film. I'm one of those people who would never want to miss the previews, it's the best part of the cinema experience! In some cases, movie trailers can be edited to be even better than the movie itself. I love everything about movie trailers from the music, the epic shots and the way it tells a captivating story in just a few minutes. Since this is something that I am pretty passionate about I felt that I would share a few of my all time favorite movie trailers, which also just so happen to be some of my favorite movies.

1. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows"

"Harry Potter" is my favorite franchise of all time and this is the most EPIC trailer I've ever seen. Everything about it gives me chills and it perfectly captured the conclusion to this masterpiece.

2. "Boyhood"

One of my favorite films of all time, the trailer for "Boyhood" is so simple but so nostalgic, it honestly made me cry the first time I saw it. I knew I loved this movie just by watching the trailer. "Hero" by Family of the Year is also one of my favorite songs because of this.

3. "Les Misérables"

I still remember the first time I saw this trailer. I was in my freshman year of high school and I was standing around my chorus teacher's computer with many of my friends, and we were in complete awe of how beautiful the trailer was. We knew right then that this would be an incredible movie musical, and we were right.

4. "The Social Network"

One of the most creative and inspiring trailers and movies out there, I always find myself watching this because the trailer itself is a work of art. I still think this film was robbed of the Best Picture win but it will always be in my heart.

5. "Brooklyn"

A new favorite film of mine, this trailer just hits me right in the feels. Maybe it's because of my Irish background, my aspiration to live in the city, or my love for love, this movie makes me feel complete and it deserves more appreciation.

I love a good indie movie, but I notice that 4/5 of the trailers I put here are best-picture nominees, which makes me think, do the critically acclaimed films have better produced trailers than independent unknown films? Let me know what you think and share some of your favorite movie trailers, I'd love to watch them.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
