Five Amazing Movies Releasing This Year

2017's line-up of movies looks like one of the best yet. Huge Disney titles such as the live-action "Beauty and the Beast" and "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" look to be great movies in the near future. Many movies are getting a sequel this year such as "Jumanji" and "Pirates of the Caribbean," but there are only a handful of movies that will make a real success. There are many heavier hitters in releasing this year, but only five will truly be amazing. Here they are.

5. Kong: Skull Island

The last King Kong movie that was released was not well accepted among fans. I personally really enjoyed it and I am very excited for this one. There are a few reasons why this movie will be amazing. For one, King Kong is much much larger than in the previous films. The reason he is so much large in this movie is because, in 2020, Godzilla and King Kong will battle it out in their own movie. The previous King Kongs would have no chance at a creature the size of Godzilla and so he had to be enhanced just a bit. Trailers have been released for this movie and look great. "Kong: Skull Island" releases on March 10.

4. Thor Ragnarok

The last two Thor movies didn't do much for me. I thought they were mediocre compared to the other superhero movies that were releasing at the time. The reason I have his third installment on this list is because it has an all-star cast with some other super people in it such as Hulk and Doctor Strange, making this Thor must see. Mark Ruffalo and Benedict Cumberbatch will be reprising their roles as their super alter egos making for an amazing movie to watch. "Thor Ragnarok releases November 3.

3. Power Rangers

When I was a kid I loved to watch "Power Rangers". My brother always teased me about it, but it was too good not to watch. Now I finally get to continue to watch it when I am an adult. With a short film released about the power rangers that was very adult oriented with blood and sex, a huge movement for a more adult version of a film to be made started and it's finally happening. "Power Rangers" does have a trailer already released and it looks amazing of course. The trailer shows a little bit of how they obtain their abilities and what happens soon after. They also give a sneak peak at the enemy that is to come. "Power Rangers" opens up in theaters this March 24.

2. Star Wars Episode VIII

Star Wars had to make this list but is unable to obtain the top spot due to other factors. Episode eight will release December 15 like all the previous Star Wars movies. There is no trailer for it yet, but Kathleen Kennedy says there will be one around the beginning of spring. That is when all the nerds will begin to speculate hardcore. Episode eight is bound to be a huge episode that will answer many questions that we all have and I'm sure we will have many more questions once it's over.

1. Alien Covenant

"Alien" is my favorite movie of all time. I love Star Wars, but nothing can beat the horror aspect and the iconic work of the movie "Alien." Ridley Scott returns after directing the sequel to "Prometheus" which is a prequel to "Alien." Many people did not like some of the plot holes "Prometheus" had such as the advanced technology and a few characters but overall, I personally enjoyed it. "Alien Covenant" does have a trailer and it is going straight to the horror genre within the first few seconds. Ridley Scott is taking us back to those enclosed dark spaces and terrifying locations like he did in the original film. "Alien Covenant" releases on May 19.

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.
