San Diego Comic Con
The New York Times

Every year in July, thousands of fans gather in San Diego to cosplay, hear the latest news about their newest and oldest obsessions, and meet the many stars that also attend the event. The event hosts fans of comic books, television series, podcasts, books, movies in and out of franchises, etc. over the course of 4 days.

At this year's Comic Con, trailers for upcoming movies this summer and 2017 were shown. Among those movie trailers were second trailers for Doctor Strange, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and a new Suicide Squad trailer. Of the movie trailers showed for the first time at Comic Con, the trailers for Wonder Woman and Justice League received the biggest reaction. Both trailers were quickly trending worldwide after premiering at the Con.

Trailers weren't the only news released about new movies and television series. Casts of upcoming Marvel movies were revealed and additions to casts of popular television shows were announced.

Along with movies, Comic Con is filled with panels and interviews with the stars of the many fandoms. These panels are where fans can ask the actors, writers, and producers any questions they want and they usually result in some pretty funny moments. Some shows announced their final seasons while others released trailers for the upcoming year.

Attendees often dress up, also known as cosplay, for the event, and the stars are also included. There are always a hand full of celebrities that will walk the floors of the convention completely in disguise.

The San Diego Comic Con is the largest convention of it's kind in the world according to Forbes. It is additionally the largest convention that takes place in San Diego. With 167,000 people in attendance last year, the con continues to grow in popularity. And with this weekend, another San Diego Comic Con has come and gone.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.

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?
