When I was little, I watched the Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Obi-Wan, Star Wars movies and they were a complicated mess of backward misunderstandings to 5-year-old me. They were not only entertaining but sophisticated. I’m no fanatic, but these movies have all fallen into their place within my mind slowly as I've grown up Now I can comprehend the complexity and depth behind the original six. These original movies attracted a large viewing, along with a niche audience who loved the fantasy of an intergalactic war tale.

The new Star Wars is something different — Its Disney-fied and unsophisticated nature surely does not live up to the Star Wars legacy but presents a different opportunity. An opportunity for kids and adults of all ages to experience the greatest creation of the Star Wars world: Porgs.

The Star Wars movies threw some cute new creatures at us. We still have Chewy, but he gets annoyed with the porgs too easily.


Sadly, these creatures beat out the previous favorite, the Ewok. They still come in close second.

All of R2D2 and BB8's beeps and bops are pretty cute, but they just aren't as furry and cuddly as the other guys.


People are loving the porg. I must warn you, if you're bringing your kids to see "The Last Jedi," they WILL ask you for a porg stuffed animal. I'm 20 and I want one for Christmas.


They are a new fad, a new obsession for all Star Wars viewers alike.


Even though they're only in a few scenes, you honestly just can't help but fall in love with them.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
