10 Movies To See This Summer

"Batman vs. Superman," March 25.

Stars: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill.

With a new Batman (so long Christian Bale, hello incredibly age-less Ben Affleck), "Batman vs Superman" kicks off an early blockbuster season with this semi-sequel to 2013’s “Man of Steel.” Expect dimpled chins, structured jawlines and lots of skin tight spandex.

"My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2," March 25.

Stars: Nia Vardalos, John Corbett.

In this long-awaited sequel to sleeper hit, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" (2002), countless middle-aged mothers (and certain Odyssey writers who will remain nameless) are losing their minds over what’s sure to be a perfect mix of Greek imagery and John Corbett’s over the top, hot Dad-bod.


"The Jungle Book," April 15.

Stars: Idris Elba, Lupita Nyongo, Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray.

Following the trend of taking classic animated Disney films and reworking them into live action spectacles, “The Jungle Book” is pulling out all the stops with a stellar cast, seemingly astounding special effects and of course a jazz-influenced soundtrack that specializes in relaxation.

"The Huntsman: Winter's War," April 22.

Stars: Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain, Chris Hemsworth.

Following the success of “Snow White and the Huntsman,” this prequel/sequel features a strong cast and an interesting premise. If only this recovering Twihard could forgive the first movie for breaking up Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. #neverforget.


"Captain American: Civil War," May 5.

Stars: Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., miscellaneous Avengers.

Is it still legal to have a year go by without a new edition to the Marvel Universe? No? Great! Bringing back your old favorites (and making them fight each other), "Civil War" is sure to be not just a box office success but also an interesting perspective in an increasingly crowded cinematic universe.


"X-Men: Apocalypse," May 27.

Stars: Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Issac.

Another super movie featuring superheroes (or mutants, if you’re nerdy that way), this latest edition is using all the familiar tricks to make a summer blockbuster go down in ticket sales history (at least until the next "Avengers" comes out)!


"Finding Dory," July 17.

Stars: Ellen Degeneres, Childhood Dreams Realized.

Normally I’d call it on yet another spin off (check out this list of almost exclusively sequels/remakes) but like the upcoming "Ghostbusters" remake, I’m just too excited about this movie to care. Featuring our favorite forgetful fish voiced by our favorite dancing talk show host, “Finding Dory” is going to be the children’s movie of the year -- and the nostalgic millennials yearning for the innocence of youth movie of the year, as well.

"Star Trek Beyond," July 22.

Stars: Chris Pine, Idris Elba, Zoe Saldana, Zachery Quinto.

The latest edition to the second greatest space epic of our time (that’s right Trekkies, I’m an Anakin girl through and through) looks like it’s going to be offering up more of that good stuff that keeps moviegoers going back for more. Plus Idris Elba! Who doesn’t love him?

"Jason Bourne," July 29.

Stars: Matt Damon, Alicia Vikander.

He kicks, he punches, he steals identities, he somehow manages to evade capture by one of the most powerful governments that's ever existed -- he’s Matt Damon looking damn fine in that movie still they released a few months ago. Yes, America, Jason Bourne is back and in true Bourne fashion, audiences are left scratching their heads about why he ever left.


"Suicide Squad," Aug. 5.

Stars: Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto.

The final edition to our list is one of the most interesting. Sure, “Suicide Squad” looks like just another piece in the puzzle of superhero movie’s world domination but with the plot focusing on a band of supposed bad guys maybe “Suicide Squad” will have what it takes to break the movies of their familiar moulds.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
