We're almost finished with 2016. It's safe to say that it has been disappointing for the big budget films while the indies/Oscar worthy films have been great. While everyone is rounding up their top ten lists, it's also time to consider our most anticipated films for next year. I asked over 70 people to mention their most anticipated film of this upcoming summer. Here is a sum of what they said.

10. Transformers: The Last Knight (1.4%)

"I like the Transformers movies. Sue me"


9. Cars 3 (2.8%)

"Dankest movie of all time"

"I love Disney"


8. Despicable Me 3 (2.8%)

"I thought the first two were fun and the minions are super cute!"

"That trailer was amazing!"

7. Baywatch (2.8%)

"This looks like a fun movie to take my girlfriend to."

"It has Zac Efron. Plus I'm more of a comedy person than an action person."


6. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (5.6%)

"Hopefully fixes on stranger tides"

"Because I love all of these movies in this series and can't wait to see the newest one."



5. Dunkirk (7%)

"Because Christopher Nolan is one of the best directors working today. I am always excited to see what he does next."

"Christopher Nolan is my favorite director right now. This film looks promising."

"Christopher Nolan, baby!"

4. Wonder Woman (9%)

"Regardless of D.C. Or Marvel, Wonder Woman is a superhero movie with a female lead which is not as mainstream as it should be and could be great for female representation in the media. It also has Chris Pine, had a good trailer, and looks to be set in WWII which is interesting."

"I love Wonder Woman and I especially love D.C. comics. I'm really excited to see how closely they follow the comic books and where they go as far as the stories and personal details."

"The trailers have sold me. I'm more hopeful than skeptical. When you have Geoff Johns and a Wonder Woman comic writer writing the screenplay, you can at least guarantee that Wonder Woman will be portrayed accurately. I'm crossing my fingers for this one."

"I am all about female superhero movies."



3. Spider-Man: Homecoming (11.3%)

"Michael Keaton"

"This is what Spider-Man should be like"

"Spider-Man's first solo adventure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe."

"Because it's Marvel. And I loved Civil War, so I'm excited to see Spiderman and Iron Man again!"

2. War for the Planet of the Apes (19.7%)

"The Apes franchise has given us not one, but two phenomenal films with heart-breaking stories, ground-breaking visual effects, and a riveting performance-capture by Andy Serkis as the lead; Caesar. Couple that with a recent trailer for War that was both amazing and nail-biting, and you have my most anticipated film of the year."

"Apes is one of my all time favorite franchises and this reboot series has been amazing."

"Interested to see how they move the series forward with this film as the trailer makes it look very similar to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes."

"I trust that Matt Reeves will deliver once again. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was my favorite movie of 2014."

"Because the last two have been one of the bests of those years."


1. Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 (35.2%)

"My boyfriend loves that movie so it'll be cute to see it with him"

"Because, Marvel, duh! And Groot is the best."

"Because volume 1 was so awesome!"

"Chris Pratt is 👌🏼"

"Guardians of the Galaxy is my favorite CBM so I am really excited."

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
