We've got so many great films coming out this year, and a few questionable ones. Like Fifty Shades Darker, and the Emoji movie.... why? That's all I have to say about that. Moving on, because there are so many good-looking films I've decided to help narrow down what ones you should see immediately. There are some guidelines for this list I'd like to point out though. To begin with, this list is in no order. They all look great, and they all deserve an equal chance to be seen. Another thing to mention is that I'm listing movies that already have trailers out. I'm a huge nerd, and I hate when things are spoiled for me. So, to avoid spoiling anything, I won't touch stuff I don't have enough information about. Speaking of there may be some spoilers ahead. So, SPOILER WARNING.

1. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

I'm so excited about this film. Who didn't love baby Groot and watching Rocket's, sort-of, parenting in the trailer? The cast from the original film is back and ready for action, humor, and another great soundtrack. What we know about the film is that Star-Lord is looking for his dad. All we know about his dad is that he's not from Earth, and that he's being played by Kurt Russell. Other than that, it's supposed to be the same idea as the original plot-wise. A group of misfits trying to survive the Galaxy.

2. Wonder Woman

The best part of Batman v. Superman was when Wonder Woman showed up to fight. At first I was apprehensive about Gal Gadot playing the hero, but she was fantastic. She showed up Batman and Superman in that fight. Now this film takes place during World War 1, where were supposed to learn why she stopped fighting until Batman v. Superman. With Chris Pine, Robin Wright, David Thewlis, Danny Huston, and many more great actors in this film I have a feeling it's going to be a good one for DC comics.

3. Logan

I already know that there will be tears during this film. This is the last time we will see Hugh Jackman play wolverine. Wolverine was my favorite superhero growing up, right after Batman, so this movie hits close to home. The idea that this is the last time we will see Hugh Jackman play Wolverine already makes me tear up. This film looks like it will be a perfect send off for him. We will finally be able to see how dark Wolverine is meant to be, thanks to Deadpool. If Deadpool didn't do well as a rated R film, we wouldn't be getting this kind of sendoff.

4. Spider-man Homecoming

Marvel owns Spider-man!!! I know this is the third time we are doing Spider-man with a new actor. But it's not an origin story. We've had two of those, which were great, but now we're going head first into a great story line from the comics. Also, Tom Holland was great in Captain America Civil War. He was smart and nerdy, but in a cute adorable way. He kicked butt and made you laugh while doing it. Exactly like Spider-man is supposed to.

5. Kong: Skull Island

We have a brand-new King Kong film. This one doesn't seem like we're only focusing on Kong, but the island he's protecting. We get to see the island natives both human and monster. It doesn't seem like he's going to New York and going nuts on the empire state building in this one. In the trailer, it’s more like a war zone. Man vs. monster. Which side is Kong on? It also has a fantastic cast with Samuel L. Jackson, Brie Larson, Tom Hiddleston, John Goodman, and John C. Reilly. This film is in good hands, with this cast alone.

6. The Mummy

Before I begin I'm going to make it clear that this is a standalone movie. It’s not part of the Mummy trilogy that already exist with Imhotep. This is meant to be a reboot of the universal horror classic. This one is about Princess Ahmanet who was denied something in her past, and is going to wreak havoc on mankind because of it. Tom Cruise plays Nick Morton who is like Van Helsing, and Russell Crowe plays Dr. Henry Jekyll. We get the mummy and Dr. Jekyll in one film, sign me up.

7. Baywatch

Comedy is good and it's good for you. Now a comedy with Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron who have played in comedy's before and did well in, sounds fantastic. After watching the trailer I couldn't stop laughing. It looks like good old ridiculous fun, action, and of course comedy. We need some humor after this past year and I think this film can deliver it.

8. The Fate of the Furious


Apparently 2016 was powerful enough to make Dom turn on the Fast and Furious family. In every Fast and Furious film, Dom, has preached that you don't leave behind family. In the trailer not only has he left his family, but he's fighting them. I just want to see this film to know what's happened, and what's going on with Dom. It's got great cars, action, humor, and just fun like the franchise has delivered in the past.

9. Beauty and the Beast

"Tale as old as time. Song as old as rhyme. Beauty and the Beast."- Beauty and the Beast

It’s the classic Disney princess film. So many of us wanted to be Belle when we were little girls. I wanted that library that Beast got her mostly, but love sounds good to. Emma Watson was the perfect actress to cast for the role of Belle and Dan Stevens as the Beast. Its cinematography is beautiful, and just looks gorgeous in live action. It'll be fun seeing my favorite Disney film come to life.

10. Cars 3

I've put Cars 3 on this list because the trailer shocked me. Pixar has been known to hit people’s emotions and make us all cry. But to do it in a teaser trailer with the main character, is a hit out of nowhere. Lightning McQueen is seriously injured or worst dead. A trailer told us this, so what are we to expect when the film comes out? All I have to say is well done Pixar, well done.

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.

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.
