Star Wars: The Last Jedi or The Lost Plot?

I cannot imply that The Last Jedi is a bad movie. But I can’t tell you that it’s amazing.

Star Wars Movie Review

I watched "The Last Jedi" twice. The first time I watched it just to see it. Just to get the experience of being uncomfortably sandwiched between two people with the smell of popcorn and sweat wafting in my nose. But don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, of course there was no problem with sitting between people. Besides, half an hour in, I forgot they're even there. And there’s a special feeling about sitting in the theater watching a movie for the first time, especially one that’s so popular that the theater is packed.

The movie started off strong. If you watched "The Last Jedi" right after watching "The Force Awakens", you would barely see a split in the storyline. It’s a seamless progression of story. We go right from the Resistance destroying Starkiller base to the First Order sending its destroyers and dreadnoughts to the Resistance base. But overall, this was one of the only parts of the movie that made any sense. After the First Order destroys the base, then the quality starts to go downhill.

It became disjointed and random, and refused to answer questions we had from Episode VII. They created tons of new questions in addition to the questions we already had. It seemed like the movie catered to people wanting 2.5 hours of chaos. There was way too much shooting, explosions, and death, and not enough actual plot. Snoke died, but we still don't know his origin story. And now Kylo Ren is the Supreme Leader. All of it is very confusing.

In a short summary, I cannot imply that The Last Jedi is a bad movie. But I can’t tell you that it’s amazing. It continues the story, and makes a little sense. My biggest concern is that they won't have enough time to wrap up the story in a neat and new way in the last movie. Even though probably everyone has already seen it, I can’t recommend you watch it. On a five-star system, I can only give it a 3 out of 5.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
