Why 'The Force Awakens' Is The Best "Star Wars" Movie Yet

For all the "Star Wars" fans out there, here is why the latest "Star Wars" movie is the best of them all.

First off, there is never a dull moment in the movie; it's full of action but also has slight pauses in scenes. You are gripping the edge of your seat the entire movie, fearing for Rey and Finn, rooting for the Resistance (and praying that at some point in the movie you get to see Luke, Leia, and Han Solo).

"The Force Awakens" brings great new characters that you grow to love, and even brings back the old ones, but in supporting roles, so as to not drag on the same story line over and over again. They have enough of a role in the movie that they make the smooth transition to the new faces without upsetting everyone that they will no longer be featured in the movies.

It was a perfect blend of computer generated image characters and real human actors that didn't make you feel like you were in a world of fantasy due to the CGI images. It gave the audience that perfect touch of out of this world characters that sucked you into the galaxy and made you hungry for more "Star Wars" action, whether it is going back and watching the previous six movies or anticipating the future films.

Finally, the movie brings a refreshing taste to the story that follows the three prequels which gave us the original story line from George Lucas. The storyline gives so much background to the original three movies while also giving a modern twist to the story continuation of the "Return of the Jedi" and follows the father-son drama that we all love, but with an unexpected twist.

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.
