12 Movies To Look Forward To In 2016

As 2015 comes to a close, we look forward into 2016. With the fandom-packed lineup the incoming year holds, we can expect that theaters will be even fuller in 2016. Between comic book films, animated, and a new "Harry Potter"-franchise film coming soon, get ready to empty your pockets for some theater tickets!

1. "Batman vs. Superman"

(Yes, that GIF is from "Holy Musical Batman!" by Starkid.) But seriously, Batman andSuperman in the same movie? It's going to be epic!

2. "Deadpool"

For the Marvel Comics fandom, the Deadpool movie has been delayed for way too long. It's about time they make a movie for this comic book character -- and they have!

3. "Zoolander 2"

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are back at it with this upcoming sequel. But will it flop like other sequels have, or will it come out on top? I'm not sure just yet, but here's hoping.

4. "The Boy"

For the thriller-loving, "The Boy" will most likely be one of the creepiest movies of the year. A life-size doll that may actually be alive? Super freaky indeed. If I were into horror films, I would definitely want to check this out.

5. "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them"

J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World lives on in this spin-off of her popular series, "Harry Potter." Set in America, it will be interesting to see what American wizards were up to before Harry Potter's time. As a "Harry Potter" fan, I cannot contain my nerdgasm!

6. "Ghostbusters"

Leslie Jones, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Kristen Wiig have been announced as the four leading ladies of this upcoming film. Not much has been released about it, but oh boy, am I excited! How could this not be hilarious?

7. "Angry Birds Movie"

"Angry Birds" originally was a popular mobile game that sling-shot into our hearts. Now they're making a movie about the birds. Can you not agree that the little fluffy birds look so adorable? I will be watching this movie just because of all the cute creatures!

8. "The Secret Life of Pets"

Have you ever wondered what your pets do when you're not home? This film seems to give house pets a comedic side, appealing to both kids and adults. Will it be the new "Minions" franchise? I don't think so, but I have high expectations this film will be fun!

9. "Zootopia

A film about animals that dress up in clothing and act more humanlike. The digital animation for this family-friendly film looks great, and will surely be one of the films I go see in theaters.

10. "Moana"

I'm glad Disney is finally putting more people of color in their films! While the ratio between white role models and POC role models in Disney films is still slanted, it's an improvement! I am so excited to see this movie about a new "princess," and hopefully it will have some great feminist storylines.

11. "Finding Dory"

"Finding Nemo" came into my life when I was 8 years old, and I have never stopped loving the Pixar film. I love Ellen DeGeneres and I am so excited that Dory will have her own film this coming year!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
