Ever since I saw, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of "The Last Jedi" and it certainly did not disappoint. I won’t spoil anything for those who have not yet seen this delightful film, but I was INCREDIBLY excited to see a few folks!

1. Billie Lourd

As an avid "American Horror Story" fan, Season 7’s Winter was a great delight to see on-screen. I also was unaware until looking it up afterward, but Lourd is Carrie Fisher’s daughter. Although she had a small role, it was really cool seeing her rocking some adorable space buns in the movie.

2. BB8

BB8 is literally my favorite droid and will forever have a place in my heart. He is adorable and really funny and I was so glad to see him rolling his way around the galaxy again.

3. Kylo Ren

Kylo Ren can literally father my children. He’s been one of my favorites for a while and his conflicted dark side persona only gets more attractive in this movie. 11/10 would definitely join the dark side for him.

4. Laura Dern

Laura Dern has been someone that I seriously appreciate ever since she played Hazel’s mom in "The Fault In Our Stars." It took me a moment to realize it was her, but indeed, Laura Dern is featured in this movie with some rockin’ purple hair.

5. Rose

Female lead! Female lead! Female lead! Star Wars added another female lead to the mix. Her appearance in the movie is much like Finn’s in that she goes from background character to lead as she works with Finn and The Resistance. She's badass, killer smart, and a really great addition to the team.

6. The Porg

*"The Force Awakens" spoiler* At the conclusion of the last movie, Rey travels across the galaxy to finally locate Luke Skywalker on a faraway planet. The planet is lush and beautiful but the real stars of the show are some adorable bird-like creatures called porgs that live on the planet. They are literally the cutest ever and I would like to snuggle one.

7. The Vulptex

Another adorable galaxy creature, the vulptex — although notably less cuddly — is aww-worthy as heck. They appear to be ice foxes and their crystal fur is strikingly lovely. I also would appreciate a pet vulptex.

8. Rey

Rey literally has my heart. She is a phenomenal example of a female lead and she gets some mad character development going in this movie, even more so than her introduction in "The Force Awakens." I’m really excited to see where she’ll go from here, but I was very excited to see her in general.

9. Princess Leia

After Carrie Fisher’s recent death, it was comforting and mildly unsettling to see her in the film. This was obviously filmed before her death, however. Leia is still the most badass old lady in the galaxy and even in her old age, she’s still out there doing the damn thing. Go, Princess Leia!

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
