Family Film Night: Haiku Collection

Seeing Rogue One was a great way to spend time with my family. It was also a great source of inspiration for a few haikus.

A family night

Went with my folks to see it

My uncle came, too

Popcorn in my hand

Adds to the fantastic scene

I gotta get it

King Kong: Skull Island

Tom Hiddleston is in it

Want to see it. NOW!

Johnny Cash cover

Nice fit for Old Wolverine

Want to see Logan

Trailer for Boss Baby

Deplorable. You know why?

Main guy hates puppies

Trailer for Boss Baby

That movie is many things

But it’s not funny

Trailer for Boss Baby

The overall impression:

Not that creative

There’s no title crawl

Like watching a comic book

Crossed with a war flick

The callbacks were nice

Brought dead actors from the grave

Awesome Darth Vader

Very awesome bot

C-3PO except not

Has dry humor

Blind NOT Jedi Knight

No lightsaber required

Whoops a lot of butt

His sidekick’s fun, too

Cracks a joke with a big smirk

Packs a big boomstick

“I deserve credit!”

White general's so wimpy

Never gets his way

This one character

Can’t remember his name now

I call him Arrow.

He was a sniper.

Who had conflicting feelings

He lost everything

He reminds me of

Cellist of Sarejvo

Reminds me of her

Her name is Arrow

A character like that guy

Captain What’s-his-face

She was a sniper

Who had conflicting feelings

She lost everything

Here I am, thinking,

“They are the same character

Different names and sex”

Diego Luna

He plays Arrow in the film

He is kind of cute

Jyn the rebel girl

Her father made the Death Star

She has connections

Quite the risk taker

Wants to steal the Death Star plans

But no one budges

Defective Pilot

Starts off cowardly but then

Becomes awesome, man!

Princess Leia’s eyes

Very Disney-Princess-Y

It’s quite disturbing

Jyn and Arrow love:

They hug, hold hands, and that’s it

I guess that’s enough

Jyn and Arrow love:

Hey! Jyn! Arrow! Guys! Hello?!?

Just kiss already!

Jyn? Arrow? A word?

You’re on a beach together

Just kiss already!

Jyn? Arrow? A word?

Death is minutes away now

Just kiss already!

Ending of Rogue One:

The moral of this story

War is bad. The end.

To quote Patrick Star:

“Everyone died. The end.” (Smiles)

Wow, Star Wars, that’s dark.

Here I am thinking:

“This movie is so awesome

Burning way past cool”

An adhesive flick

Put the two arcs together

Quite successfully

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. 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.
