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.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
