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")

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.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

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.
