On Tuesday, January 24, 2017, the nominations for the 2017 Oscars were announced. There were nice suprises like Denzel Washington, Viola Davis, "Fences", "Moonlight", "Hidden Figures", "O.J.: Made in America", "13th", and "Kubo and the Two Strings", there were also big snubs like last year. What movies should have been nominated? What actor deserves a nomination? Any effects and screenplays left out that should of been nominated? Like most people, I am going to make a list of movies that got snubbed.


1. "Sing Street": I have talked about this film to death already, but it is such a good movie if you haven't seen it already. This was the biggest snub and suprise of al the nominees this year, because John Carney's previous two films ("Once" and "Begin Again") have been nominated for best original song, with the song "Falling Slowly" ("Once") winning the Oscar.I thought that "Sing Street" deserved Best Picture, Best Director (John Carney), Best Supporting Actor (Jack Reynor), Best Original Screenplay, and Best Original Song ("Drive it Like You Stole It") nominations.


2. "The Nice Guys": This was also on my best of the year list. It was funny, well acted, one of the best screenplays of 2016 and really well directed. I felt it deserved Best Picture, Best Director (Shane Black), Best Actor (for both Russell Crowe and Ryan Gossling), Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, and Best Production Design.


3. "Deadpool": While Ryan Renolds gave a great performance of the merc with a mouth, that's not what it should have been nominated for. It shoulud have been nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay (Based on the Marvel Comic) and Best Visual Effects. The movie cost $55 Million to make and the effects are amazing.


4. "A Monster Calls": While the film came out the first weekend in January (seriously, please go find this film), this film was in select cities on Christmas Day. It should have been nominated for Best Picture, Best Director (J.A. Bayona), Best Actor (Lewis MacDougall), Best Supporting Actor (Liam Neeson), Best Supporting Actress (Felicity Jones and Sigourney Weaver), Best Adapted Screen Play, Best Production Design, and Best Visual Effects.


5. "Weiner": Another film I have talked way too much about, this should have been a sure fire nomination for Best Documentary.


6. "Audrie & Daisy": Another documentary nomination that was snubbed. This Netflix Documentary should have been nominated, know that "13th" was nominated and that was a Netfilx Documentary.


8. "Fences": I know that it's nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor (Denzel Washington), Best Supporting Actress (Viola Davis), and Best Adapted Screen Play. There was one person they forgot to recognize, that is Mykelti Williamson for his Supporting Role in "Fences" as Gabriel. It was a down to earth and honest performance and Best Director for Denzel Washington for giving one of the most well-made films of 2016.


9. "Kung Fu Panda 3": The third entry in the "Kung Fu Panda" franchise was snubbed for Best Animated Picture. While I am glad that more forgein animation are getting more recognition, this should have been a sure nomination for the accademy to nominate.


10. "Sausage Party": You read correctly, "Sausage Party" should have been nominated for a few oscars. I felt that this film should have gotten Best Animated Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Orignal Song ("The Great Beyond")

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
