I have never been a huge fan of Star Wars. Up until about a year ago I despised Star Wars; I think that is because I watched under the age of 10 so I was not able to follow along with the complexity of the movies. When the 7th Star Wars came out I was forced to see it and it showed me the world of the Jedis.

Even thought I have technically seen all of the Star Wars movies, I still do not have a great knowledge of all things Star Wars. Even with out the background information, I still thought that Rogue One was AMAZING! This movie could be a stand alone movie, but if you love Star Wars then the you will be overjoyed with the little details that make the movie even more special.

Rogue One had a fantastic plot line, actors, and plenty of action. The movie was emotional when it needed to be which enriched the story that the film told. The viewer is shown more of the Star Wars world then in any other movie. The importance of friendship and trust is shown in this film without making it too much of a cliche. Also *SPOILER ALERT* there is no dramatic kissing scene when the two main characters are facing death. In too many movies, characters are about to face impending doom and they decide that this is the perfect time to kiss for the first time. I am a big fan of love, and am a sucker for cheesy rom coms, but those scenes in action movies have never made sense to me.

Lucas Films did a fantastic job with Rogue One and to most people's surprise, it was more popular than the 7th Star Wars movie. Overall, you did not have to know everything about the previous Star Wars movies to enjoy Rogue One. It was an amazing movie and I can't wait for the next one to come out!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
