Lego has built many sets around various films that they have the rights to use. These include "Star Wars", Marvel films, DC films, "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Toy Story", "Harry Potter", and "Lord of the Rings". However, there are still various films and television shows that lack Lego sets for various reasons. Either they lack the license to use it or they just haven't made sets for them yet, these are the films and/or television shows that need to have Lego sets based on them. I based these decisions on the potential that they have for sets and the ability to bring iconic scenes/objects to life in Lego brick form. These are the five choices that I feel would make interesting and memorable Lego sets.

5. "Pacific Rim"

It should be no surprise as to why this one made the list. Having the ability to create a large Jaeger and a massive Kaiju. Imagine being able to create some of the more iconic Jaegers, such as Gypsy Danger, Striker Eureka, Cherno Alpha, and Crimson Typhoon. In fact, many fans have already made unofficial versions out of their own Legos. Imagine the kinds of sets you could make out of the creative creature designs from the film. You could make a set out of the iconic scene of Gypsy Danger using a tanker ship as a bat to beat a Kaiju. Imagine creating sets out of the Jaeger base in Hong Kong or the Kaiju bunker scene. The possibilities are endless, especially with the sequel "Pacific Rim: Uprising" coming out in early 2018. Now would be the right time to release sets based on this franchise.

4. "Tron"

This one should also go without saying. Outside of the ability to bring iconic vehicles, such as the light cycle and solar sailer, to life; the main reason to make sets out of these films is to bring the unique art style to life in Lego form. The most iconic aspect of both "Tron" and "Tron: Legacy" are the unique techno and neon lit art styles. Imagine Lego using that "light brick" technology they used in previous sets to simulate the slick, LED lighting of "Tron: Legacy". You could make sets out of various locations on "The Grid", such as the disc war coliseum or the "End of Line" bar. Lego already has the Disney license so these sets have a good possibility of actually getting made one day.

3. "The Incredibles"

There's a sequel to this one coming out in a year or two, so now would be the perfect time to start making Legos out of this film. As I have said before, Lego has the Disney license so they can make sets from any Disney film they want. It surprises me that there have been very few sets based on a handful of Pixar films. That's why sets based on "The Incredibles" feels very overdue. You can make sets based on the Parr family home, Syndrome's island, and the Omidroid's attack on the city from the finally. Lego already released Mr. Incredible and Syndrome mini figures for the Disney mini figure series, so hopefully this means that actual sets are on the way. Until then we can only hope that Lego will give fans what they have been hoping for.

2. "Up"

I just noticed that there are a lot of sets based on Disney films on this list. Can you blame me, Lego has yet to take full advantage of Disney/Pixar's catalog of animated films. I mostly put "Up" on this list because I want sets based on Carl's floating house and the Spirit of Adventure zeppelin from the film. These would probably be very elaborate and expensive sets, but it would be worth it to build a Lego version of the iconic house from "Up". I would also like to see mini figures based on Carl, Russel, Ellie, Kevin, Doug the Dog, and Charles Muntz. You could also make sets based on the Paradise Falls and have Brickheadz based on Carl and Russel. This may be a selfish pick since "Up" is one of my favorite Pixar films, but you can't deny the Lego potential it has.

1. "Star Trek"

No other option could be number one on this list. The idea of building the various forms of the Starship Enterprise from various incarnations, such as "Original Series" and "Next Generation", should be enough to sway any die hard "Star Trek" fan. Imagine building sets from the famous films, such as "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" or building famous locations such as the bridge of the Enterprise with Captain Kirk and Captain Picard. Imagine building ships from the various races in the franchise, such as a Klingon Bird of Prey or a Borg Cube. Imagine being able to build some of the iconic planets from the franchise, such as Vulcan or Romulus. It's enough to give any fan a rush of excitement and hope.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
