8 Movies To See Before The Year Is Over

Movies come and go in the theater. We see trailers when we watch TV and when we go to see other movies. We see so many trailers, either of movies in the distant future or coming soon, and sometimes it's hard to keep all the dates straight. So, before you is a list of eight movies to see before the year ends.

1. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Rating: PG-13, currently in theaters. This movie is set 70 years before Harry Potter and is not a prequel to the series at all, so you don't necessarily have to like Harry Potter appreciate the movie. It tells the story of Newt Scamander, a British wizard who comes to America with a case full of magical creatures. When his case gets into the wrong hands and they are accidentally set free, the British wizarding world and the American wizarding world collide. It's up to Newt to get back all his creatures before he gets arrested. The movie features various plot twists up until the end, and the movie will be made into a five movie series.

2. Office Christmas Party

Rating: R, release date: Dec 9. This movie tells the story of an office with an uptight boss trying to shut down her brother's branch. But, in order to save their branch and get clients, they throw a Christmas party that quickly gets out of hand. This movie looks hilarious, plus it's coming out right before Christmas.

3. Rogue One

Rating: PG-13, release date: Dec 16. For all the Star Wars lovers out there. Before the second installment of the new Star Wars trilogy comes out, the fans are left with Rogue One. This movie takes place when the rebels try to steal the plans for the Death Star; this movie is a stand alone, but I highly recommend you see the movie if you have seen the other Star Wars movies.

4. Moana

Rating: PG, currently in theaters. When her island is in danger, Moana must seek out the help of Maui, a demigod who's a little full of himself. Moana is the first Polynesian character in a Disney film, and the movie promises a good soundtrack full of songs co-written by Tony winner Lin-Manuel Miranda. While the movie is targeted towards children, you are never too old for a Disney movie such as this.

5. Sing

Rating: PG, release date: Dec 23. In order to save his theater, koala Buster Moon hosts a singing competition. Within the competition are animals that are down on their luck that are looking for change, one being a gorilla who doesn't want to be a part of his father's gang. This movie looks hilarious, and one that is family friendly.

6. Passengers

Rating: PG-13, release date: Dec 23. A spacecraft travels to a distant colony, and on the trip there, all the passengers are put to sleep. However, when two are awoken earlier than everyone else, 90 years to be exact. They must work together to find out what has went wrong. This movie is more geared toward a Sci-Fi audience, promising good performances by Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence.

7. Hidden Figures

Rating: PG, release date: Dec 30. The untold story of three African American woman finally comes to surface in this new movie. The woman work for NASA and must help to calculate the landing of astronauts in the first space missions. They seem underestimated, but appear to pull through. This movie is a story of empowerment and is not one to be missed.

8. Why Him?

Not yet rated, release date: Dec 23. Parents have been there: they disapprove of their son/daughters boyfriend or girlfriend. So when Stephanie brings home her rich, tattooed boyfriend, her dad doesn't approve. But when he finds out her boyfriend plans to propose, events slowly begin to unravel. This movie not only seems hilarious, but parents are sure to relate.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
