Summer '16 Movies We're Ready To See

Summer is practically screaming my name right now. We're running in slow motion to each other and it seems like we'll never get there. One of my favorite things I look forward to in summer is MOVIES! Most of the big hit come out during this time and they're a lot that we've been waiting for years to see! Sequels that are long over due and book to movie adaptations. Dear movie industry makers, thank you satisfying our thirsty movie needs. However, on behalf of the summer movie lovers, please do not disappoint because I'm bout to hype up the following titles like this is Beyonce's new album!

1. Finding Dory *Release Date: June 17th

No but we've seriously been waiting for 13 years come May 30th. We were looking for this sequel every since we saw at the end of movie that Dory started living Nemo and his dad. That's a story in itself. Makers, you could make a movie called "A day in the life of Dory" and you could still hit top box office sales! Everyone who loves Finding Nemo is going to hit up this movie.


2. Conjuring 2 *Release Date: June 10th

Literally everyone was talking about the first movie and how crazy scary it was! I don't think it was too scary but it definitely had me jumping at some parts and then feeling a bit creeped out. I think this movie is more of "I wonder what they're going to show next," rather than "that was hands down best scary movie I gotta see the next one." I'm curious to see how this turns out. If it's anything like "Sinister 2", I will be greatly disappointed.


3. Captain America: Civil War *Release Date: May 6th

Mostly all Marvel movies have hit top box office sales over the years so this one without a doubt will have a great turnout. I mean Iron Man and Captain America are having beef and the team is split on which side to pick. Lihh I gotta know how this going to turnout!


4. X-Men: Apocalypse *Release Date: May 27th

Do I need to explain why everyone need to go see this? Not only does it have an amazing cast but its X-MEN! This is example of a perfect sequel movie. I don't feel like each movie they're doing too much. Each movie has a purpose and tells more of the whole X-Men story and their characters. This (I believe) is the last one -- don't quote me on that! But you can't tell me you're not at all excited to see Hugh Jackman again!


5. Independence Day: Resurgence *Release Date: June 24th

They legit play this movie every Independence Day so if you've never seen it or heard about it then do you even live in America? Though Will Smith won't be in it, I'm still hyped to see it because they still have Jeff Goldblum, Vivica A. Fox, and Vivica's now grown son! Like, how is this going to work?? What's happening?? Can you imagine though? With the development of CGI graphics over the years and the level of amazing has increased over years...can you imagine what the aliens will look like now?? I am beyond ready for this movie!


6. The Purge: Election Year *Release Date: June 24th

The first purge was alright. New concept of the all crime is legal for 24 hours thing. Blew my mind imagining if that was a thing. Then Anarchy comes out and I wasn't at all expecting it to be as good but I was thoroughly entertained and invested in the story line. For me, hands down one of the best movies. Now I'm extremely curious on what this next one has to offer. In the trailer, I was kind of disappointed because they gave away almost the whole premise of the movie. I despise trailers where after I can closely predict what's going to happen in the movie. Nonetheless, I'm still looking forward to this one.


7. Ghostbusters *Release Date: July 15th

We all know how big the first movie was, now imagine this one! And are you even aware of the cast for this movie?? It's like the best female SNL actresses, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Melissa McCarthy! You ain't ready! And again with increase in CGI graphics this movie is going to be mind blowing.


8. Ice Age: Collision Course *Release Date: July 22nd

Another greatest kids movie of all time given a sequel! Who knew a sloth, a saber tooth tiger, and a mammoth could produce two great movies and now with this third one it's going to be a hit! However, I'll probably wait till this one comes out on DVD depending on what my college bank account says. A lot of kids will be coming out to see this one.


Honorable mentions:

Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass *Release Date: May 27th

The Angry Birds Movie *Release Date: May 20th

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows *Release Date: June 3rd

Now You See Me 2 *Release Date: June 10th

Warcraft *Release Date: June 10th

The Legend of Tarzan *Release Date: July 1st

BFG *Release Date: July 1st

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
