Star Wars. King Kong. Spider-Man. 2017 looks like a big year for superheroes and action stars. There are so many movies coming out this year that are definitely worth a watch. Here are a few promising 2017 movies.

1. Fate of the Furious

Fate of the Furious is coming out on April 14, 2017. It is the eight movie in the Fast and Furious franchise. Most of the movies in the franchise have been hits, but definitely the first and the fifth movie will always be amazing. Hopefully, this movie will be better than the sixth movie. I think what makes this movie different from the rest in the series is that Dom turns against his family. So most people would be curious to figure out why he did turn against his family. Also, this movie is the last in the series. So naturally, folks would want to watch the last movie of the series for "one last ride." I might have teared up when I saw Paul Walker in the trailer, but who wouldn't. I think Fate of the Furious will most likely be a blockbuster.

2. Star Wars: Episode VIII

Star Wars: Episode VIII is coming out on December 15, 2017. That is really a long time, but this movie is making some serious buzz out in the cinema world. Since the last movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens, everyone is curious to see what happens next in the saga featuring Daisy Ridley, Rey, and Adam Driver, Kylo Ren. Recently, Carrie Fisher passed away. Fortunately, the film completed in July. Sadly, Carrie did not see the final outcome of the movie. RIP Carrie. The Star Wars family will miss you. Although there is nothing much to go off of since the trailer isn't even out yet, however, it is Star Wars, so one can predict that this movie will blow the charts.

3. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is coming out May 5, 2017. The first Guardians of the Galaxy was just amazing! Five of the uniquest characters team up together to bring comedy, romance, and action. My favorite character is Groot! After what happened to him in the first movie, I am glad he came back as baby Groot! This movie will definitely gross the same or higher than the first movie in the series. Star Lord, Chris Pratt, brings out the childish in himself, even though he is a sueprhero. This makes even better because who doesn't love comedy. The blend of humor and action is what made the first movie great, and, hopefully, the second movie even better!

4. Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the Beast is set to come out March 17, 2017. This is the live version of the adaption of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Everyone knows and has seen the 1991 Beauty and the Beast. However, it is a live version which will make the movie even better. The movie stars Emma Watson who will play the role of Belle. I feel like Belle's and Emma's personalities collide with each other like they are both studious. Emma will play the role of Belle very graciously. The trailer even proves it. The movie will catch the audience in a heartwarming way just like the 1991 version.

5. Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman is set to release on June 2, 2017. I truly believe that this movie will make history because it is a movie about a female superhero. Also, the director is also female. Only two females have ever directed superhero movies. Barriers are starting to break down in the cinema world. Batman, Superman, and Spiderman all have movies that describe where they are from and how they became a superhero. This new upcoming movie will reveal why Wonder Woman is such an iconic hero. I am glad DC is stepping up their game. This movie might just be the break they have been looking for.

Of course there are so many good movies coming out this year, however, these are a few movies I thought that appealed to me. What are some of your favorite movies coming out this year?

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
