Welcome To Assassin's Creed

Enter the world of the brotherhood

Welcome To Assassin's Creed

Spanning more than 20 video games designed by Ubisoft and extending its reach across books, comics, and most recently a major motion picture-- welcome to the world of Assassin's Creed. This series has built a secret millennia long war between the Assassins and the Knights Templar. The major motion picture came out on December 21, 2016.

The film is an original story that was developed by the the creators of the video games, which was based off of a book series by Olivia Bowden. Whether you are a lover of video games and couldn't put the controller down or a book worm and couldn't get enough of the books, it's hard to say that the movie lived up to the expectations of what presided it, ie. the video games.

To say the least, as someone who hasn't read any of the books or hasn't played any of the video games besides the stellar action parts of the movie, there was a lot lost due to the fanatic reach of religion that bled off of the screen. The scenes were beautifully done and most of the story was written perfectly, but when religion is the focus of a story, especially when religion is trying to become the ultimate power, it is very had to watch.

The whole basis of the movie is the Knight Templar controlling free will with the mythical Apple of Eden and the brotherhood of the Assassin's Creed trying to save humankind from losing their free will. Religion is at the core of the movie on the part of the Knights Templar. The Assassin's are called Heretics throughout some parts of the movie so it's to be believed that they do not want anything to do with religion and God.

The movie is well done to the characters and the screenwriting-- it is an action packed movie and fast paced. The ending of the movie *spoiler alert*, you do not see the main character, Cal, kill Dr. Rikkin at the Templar meeting. It ends with three of the Assassin's on top of a building and you watch Cal fall into a swan dive. Then the movie cuts to credits and you're left with an understanding that he has the Apple of Eden. With the daughter of Dr. Rikkin, there is some undertones that there may be a second one.

Whether you are a video game enthusiast or a book worm, in the form of comics or books, this movie is a must see if you like the world of the Assassin's Creed. I would recommend the movie whether you are a fan or not a fan. Besides the religion, it is a great movie.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
