Reactions To 'The Fate Of The Furious' Trailer

My thoughts about the new Fast and Furious Trailer

Reactions To 'The Fate Of The Furious' Trailer
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

I love the Fast and Furious Series and it is one of my absolute favorites. I have loved each movie more with each new release even "Furious 7," the one that broke my heart. The one that I cried when it ended for obvious reasons (Brian O'Connor driving off into the sunset, knowing that Paul Walker would never grace the silver screen again.)

Yesterday, "The Fate of the Furious" (Furious 8) trailer was finally released after over a year's worth of waiting. I've been excitedly awaiting the release of the new trailer and after watching it I have some seriously mixed emotions about it.

"The Fate of the Furious" is a whole new game compared to the previous 7 films. In the movie, Dom turns on the one thing that means more to him than anything else. Family. Hobbs, the one usually doing the hunting, is thrown in prison and plot twist (not really) Dom is once again being hunted by Hobbs. To me, even the idea of Dom turning on his family infuriates me and makes me not want to see the movie. I will definitely see the movie even though in the back of my mind I'll be mad about them choosing this plotline. I cannot ever imagine Dom turning on his family and I am honestly shocked that this was the plotline selected.

I both love and hate the new trailer but, I can only hope that Dom returns to his family for good. I don't expect Furious 8 to do as well as the others mainly because of this huge plot twist and because Paul Walker is gone. But I might be surprised about how well it turns out. Who knows. I can understand why the producers had to make such a drastic change because of the loss of Paul and also a main character, so that the franchise could continue to succeed and do well, but I do wish it hadn't been this drastic.I wish that in some way (and they might've done it) F8 will show how the family is adjusting to working without Brian and Mia, and maybe even a brief scene or two featuring Mia begging Dom not to turn on the family. With the release of this trailer I defintely am questioning the entire movie and if its worth seeing, but the only way to get my questions answered is to go to the Midnight Premeire in April 2017. Until my questions are answered I'll just fill the agonizing wait with the 7 other films.

I'll just leave this here. The franchise won't be the same without Paul Walker, but I can't wait to see what Vin Diesel has come up with as an actor and a producer.

Movies 9 and 10 have been tentatively scheduled to release in 2019 and 2021, respectively.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

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!
