The Star Wars saga has become one of the most iconic film series to have ever been made. Its epic special effects that were completely new upon its initial 1977 release still blows minds today. Heartbeats race in time to the ever-thrilling and recognizable music score by John Williams. Our bottoms will never cease to be on the edge of their seat with every galactic battle.

Besides the plain and pure awesomeness that is the Star Wars series, it has always held a special sentimental place in the hearts of many. It's been a piece of childhoods since the 70s and continues that to today.

The Star Wars series has touched the lives of every generation since its original release. When my parents were kids they sat with wide eyes and dropped jaws as they watched the genuinely out-of-this-world movie. The effects were so beyond its time and were made specifically for the Star Wars movies. Droids, lightsabers, The Force, and everyone's favorite fuzzball, Chewbacca - it was all brand new and had them hooked from the first beeps of R2-D2 to every escape.

Flash forward to 1999- Star Wars: The Phantom Menace is released. Movie theaters are filled with adults with child-like wonder in their eyes. They remember how they first felt watching the original Star Wars, only now they are accompanied by some new Padawans. A whole new generation of children is experiencing the same awe they once felt. I, myself, remember watching Revenge of Sith released the day after my fifth birthday in 2005. Star Wars had now evolved beyond just an epic space opera, it was a family affair.

Last December of 2015, I filed into the premiere showing of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. As I looked around the theater I saw the faces of people ranging in all ages, from grandparents to grandchildren. But behind physical age, every face showed the same giddy grin and sparkling eye that comes with watching a Star Wars movie. I already have my tickets to see Rogue One this Thursday at 8pm with my family, and I cannot wait to be in a theater where everyone shares the same excitement over a set of stories that changed the film industry and our childhoods forever all over again.

Star Wars - Ages 0 and up, does not require batteries, parental supervision recommended (because they'll want to watch it too). Sit back and enjoy.

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.
