Six For The Summer

Summer is typically a time for beach days, bonfires, baseball games and concerts. But when thunderstorms strike and ruin your plans for the perfect day outside there is one place that's always there for you -- your local movie theater. With plenty of star-studded films coming to theaters this summer, you'll never run out of great options to watch. Here are six movies I'm looking forward to seeing over the next few months:

1. "Me Before You"


Based on the novel by Jojo Moyes, "Me Before You"follows a young woman named "Lou" Clark who becomes the caregiver for Will Traynor, a wealthy man paralyzed in an accident two years before. Don't let the rom-com vibe of the trailer fool you, if the film stays true to the novel you'll probably leave the theater in need of a whole box of kleenex. "Me Before You" arrives in theaters June 3.

2. "Finding Dory"

Remember how much you loved "Finding Nemo" when you first saw it in theaters at the ripe of old age of eight? Well, it's time to rekindle that love as one of the most lovable yet forgetful characters in the Pixar Universe returns to the silver screen. Catch up with Dory as goes on an epic quest to find her family in "Finding Dory" swimming into theaters on June 17.

3. "The Secret Life of Pets"

Speaking of adorable animated movies, "The Secret Life of Pets" depicts just what happens when we leave our pets alone during the day. With a star-studded cast of voice actors like Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart and Ellie Kemper this animated film looks like it won't disappoint. "The Secret Life of Pets" enters theaters July 8.


4. "Ghostbusters"


Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones teaming up to exterminate ghosts from New York? Count me in. This reboot of the 1984 film will be in theaters on July 15.

5. "Suicide Squad"


Superhero films more your thing? Don't worry, "Suicide Squad" is there for you. Based on the DC Comics antihero team of the same name, Suicide Squad follows a group of supervillians who accept a government mission that will probably result in their deaths. "Suicide Squad" hits theaters August 5.

6. "Florence Foster Jenkins"


Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant team up in this biographical comedy-drama that tell the story of Florence Foster Jenkins, a New York socialite who relentlessly pursues her dream of becoming an opera singer despite being completely tone-deaf. This charming film enters theaters August 12.

So the next time you're faced with spending a day inside this summer, head over to your closest theater and check out one of these films.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
