Star Wars: Rogue One... Is It Out of This World?
VOX

Star Wars hits theaters again, but this time in a way no one imagined. With it's incredible and well fitting story line to it's quirky and sarcastic new robot, this movie blew my mind from beginning to end.

The movie takes place before Star Wars IV: A New Hope. In this movie we learn how the rebel alliance stole the blueprints of the Death Star and how they came to know all the flaws in it. It is up to a peculiar set of hero's to save the universe from the disastrous empire, and evil Lord Vader.

This movie brings together both the classic Star Wars and new 21st century Star Wars. It takes the universe we've come to know and love to a whole new orbit. Yes I must admit it was odd not to have the usual Star Wars introduction at the start of the movie, but seconds after I completely forgot and did not need an introduction because the movie showed it all.

It was incredible how the writers and director, Gareth Edwards brought together A New Hope and Rogue one and connected both movies in a way that could make people believe that Rogue one was written in the time A New Hope was. Everything made sense, and we even got to see some of our favorite classic characters that we had not seen in years; one which included my personal favorite, Darth Vader.

Vader was portrayed in such an badass way that any time he came out people in the audience couldn't help but gasp. Vader was the same old cunning, evil mastermind that many of us have come to appreciate as one of the greatest villains of all time. He stood out in the movie despite him being in only a few scenes and *SPOILER ALERT* his ending was MIND BLOWING. It was the bad ass side of Vader everyone wanted to see.

Felicity Jones who plays Jyn Eso the protagonist in this movie did an amazing role of playing a hero who gave no f*cks about the empire. She wanted to fight for what was right and so she did alongside her friends, one who happened to be blind.

The diversity in this movie was also very great. We had so many POC it was great to see. A cast so diverse always makes the movie better in my book.

The movie was well casted, well written, and in general was a well made movie. Disney continues to prove that the Star Wars franchise will never die, and even with movies like this, it can still be out of this world.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
