Millions of people watch the Super Bowl each year, which has made it one of the best times to advertise. Companies have paid millions of dollars just to broadcast 15 to 30 seconds of an add during the commercial breaks. It also allows millions of people to view a trailer for your upcoming movie or television show.

Seeing the new trailers for upcoming films has always been one of my favorite parts of the Super Bowl. You get to view new footage from films that have already had teaser trailers and view the first trailers for films. The following are five trailers from the last Super Bowl that either peaked my interest or have me genuinely excited.

5. "Mission Impossible: Fallout"

The "Mission Impossible" films have always been a fun bit of entertainment, even if I'm not really that into the series. They're all fun movies, but they haven't really peaked my interest from a story perspective. This one seems to be doing a lot of the same for me, but it still looks like it will be a lot of fun to watch.

I love the cinematography and I love them, mostly, practical stunt work. The fact that most of the action scenes are done practically in these films has always been what I've loved most about this franchise. The trailer also gives off a sense of "finality" so it will be interesting to see where the story will go with that concept.

4. "Skyscraper"

On the surface, this looks like any other "Die Hard" ripoff film. It looks like another thinly plotted film where Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has to save his family from kidnappers or terrorists or whatever stock Hollywood villain type they're using. However, I would be lying if I said that Johnson's character being a physically handicapped action hero wasn't an interesting angle to go with.

Even in the trailer, we see how this character's prosthetic leg act as one more thing he has to overcome to save his family. It would be interesting to see how the film (if it does at all) incorporates this aspect into the plot and how it affects the character development. The fact that a physically disabled character is portrayed as a competent and skilled fighter is also positive in the representation department.

3. "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom"

The original "Jurassic World" was an O.K. sequel and was a fun film, I just felt like it had some very glaring issues. The sequel actually peaked my interest due to the idea of having to save the dinosaurs from the island before a volcano erupts. I also like how the film is asking the question of whether it is a good idea to save these prehistoric beasts or not.

I'm interested in seeing what new dinosaur creatures are created and how they get all of the dinosaurs off of the island. I feel like I'm more interested in this film than the first one and that's a good sign. I just hope they pull it off and make a movie as good as the one shown in these trailers.

2. "Avengers: Infinity War"

To say I'm excited about this film would be an understatement. I was excited before the first trailer came out and became, even more, excited after it did come out. While the spot that appeared during the Super Bowl was just a short 30-second spot it still gave us a good amount of new footage.

I'm very excited to see what is suppose to be the "end game" for the original Avengers and what kind of a villain Thanos will be like on screen. I also liked seeing more footage of Captain America and Spider-Man in this T.V. spot. Here's hoping that this film will be everything we're hoping for.

1. "Solo: A Star Wars Story"

Yes, the main reason this is number one is that I am a huge "Star Wars" fan and I'm biased. However, this is also number one because this is the first time I or anyone has seen any footage from this film. The film has had a rocky production history involving its directors and seemed like a very unnecessary idea for a film.

Despite all of that, it looks like this movie is going to be a lot of fun. I love the cinematography, I like the set design, I love the creature designs, and I really like the actors involved. The film feels very unnecessary, but that doesn't mean that it can't be a fun and entertaining ride. I really hope I get a fun "Star Wars" film out of this.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
