Millions of people watch the Super Bowl each year, which has made it one of the best times to advertise. Companies have paid millions of dollars just to broadcast 15 to 30 seconds of an add during the commercial breaks. It also allows millions of people to view a trailer for your upcoming movie or television show.

Seeing the new trailers for upcoming films has always been one of my favorite parts of the Super Bowl. You get to view new footage from films that have already had teaser trailers and view the first trailers for films. The following are five trailers from the last Super Bowl that either peaked my interest or have me genuinely excited.

5. "Mission Impossible: Fallout"

The "Mission Impossible" films have always been a fun bit of entertainment, even if I'm not really that into the series. They're all fun movies, but they haven't really peaked my interest from a story perspective. This one seems to be doing a lot of the same for me, but it still looks like it will be a lot of fun to watch.

I love the cinematography and I love them, mostly, practical stunt work. The fact that most of the action scenes are done practically in these films has always been what I've loved most about this franchise. The trailer also gives off a sense of "finality" so it will be interesting to see where the story will go with that concept.

4. "Skyscraper"

On the surface, this looks like any other "Die Hard" ripoff film. It looks like another thinly plotted film where Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has to save his family from kidnappers or terrorists or whatever stock Hollywood villain type they're using. However, I would be lying if I said that Johnson's character being a physically handicapped action hero wasn't an interesting angle to go with.

Even in the trailer, we see how this character's prosthetic leg act as one more thing he has to overcome to save his family. It would be interesting to see how the film (if it does at all) incorporates this aspect into the plot and how it affects the character development. The fact that a physically disabled character is portrayed as a competent and skilled fighter is also positive in the representation department.

3. "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom"

The original "Jurassic World" was an O.K. sequel and was a fun film, I just felt like it had some very glaring issues. The sequel actually peaked my interest due to the idea of having to save the dinosaurs from the island before a volcano erupts. I also like how the film is asking the question of whether it is a good idea to save these prehistoric beasts or not.

I'm interested in seeing what new dinosaur creatures are created and how they get all of the dinosaurs off of the island. I feel like I'm more interested in this film than the first one and that's a good sign. I just hope they pull it off and make a movie as good as the one shown in these trailers.

2. "Avengers: Infinity War"

To say I'm excited about this film would be an understatement. I was excited before the first trailer came out and became, even more, excited after it did come out. While the spot that appeared during the Super Bowl was just a short 30-second spot it still gave us a good amount of new footage.

I'm very excited to see what is suppose to be the "end game" for the original Avengers and what kind of a villain Thanos will be like on screen. I also liked seeing more footage of Captain America and Spider-Man in this T.V. spot. Here's hoping that this film will be everything we're hoping for.

1. "Solo: A Star Wars Story"

Yes, the main reason this is number one is that I am a huge "Star Wars" fan and I'm biased. However, this is also number one because this is the first time I or anyone has seen any footage from this film. The film has had a rocky production history involving its directors and seemed like a very unnecessary idea for a film.

Despite all of that, it looks like this movie is going to be a lot of fun. I love the cinematography, I like the set design, I love the creature designs, and I really like the actors involved. The film feels very unnecessary, but that doesn't mean that it can't be a fun and entertaining ride. I really hope I get a fun "Star Wars" film out of this.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
