Geek Flicks Will Always Be A Must Watch

Fans have a duty to watch every movie of the ones they love.

A few days ago, I was re-watching Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Yes, I said re-watching. It had its flaws but I still really enjoyed it (although we all know that Luke would never raise his light saber against his own unarmed, sleeping nephew). I loved Avengers Infinity War, even with its flaws and the sidelining of Steve Rogers. I'll go see any movie of a character or hero I'm familiar with, even if it it's a bad one. And so should you. We owe it to them. Not to Hollywood, not to Chris Evans (even if he is the only Captain America), not to Mark Hamill, but to the characters that we know and love. Nowadays, there are very few honors or acknowledgments bigger a character and their universe than to be brought to the big screen.

That's the beauty of fandom and being a fan. We know what our heroes are capable of and would always do. We would never blame them for the actions that we may not agree with. That blame would fall to the people trying to create a story for a character that they aren't familiar with. I'll still appreciate the effort though, just because it is nice to see them them at least attempt what I'm not able to do, and for the fact they're involved with bringing these characters into a new light that I would like to, or have always wanted to, see.

You don't hate the Steelers for having one bad game. You don't turn your back on the Golden State Warriors for a bad season. My Central Floridians will know that we won't give up on Orlando City Soccer just for a loss, or three. We remain loyal and we still stand in line to support what we're loyal to. I'll do the same thing for the super heroes and galactic saviors that I've always known. Because even if it's a bad moment, or a bad movie, I'm still a fan. And odds are that, if you're reading this, you are too.

It's our love and appreciation for these characters that has brought their popularity to a point where they've become popular enough to land their own title. It may not be a particular story you agree with, but we all have at least one story line we don't agree with. That's something about these heroes and the fandom that we have to remember. The amount of stories that have been told, and that can be told, in a different way. Everyone has their own take, their own interpretation, and their own spin on our heroes and their story lines. How many separate stories do we all know for Spider-Man? How many universes are there for him? A whole Spider-verse, which is even being brought to the big screen. And yes, I'll be seeing that too.

So let me go ahead and pre-order tickets for 'Into The Spider-verse', I'll save you a seat. Let me see how Scott Lang escapes the Quantum Realm and joins Steve Rogers, Thor, and Captain Marvel, to bring back the MCU. Especially since we all know this is probably going to be Caps last dance. And yes, I'll be seeing the conclusion to the new Star Wars Trilogy to see how Rey and Kylo Ren play out. Because these are the characters that I know. These are why I'm not afraid to consider myself a fanboy. Because they're still the characters that I'm a fan of, and I still want to see them. And who knows, in time where everything is prequels, sequels, and reboots, even if you don't agree with this one, just wait for the next one. May the force be with you, assemble your avengers, may the odds be ever in your favor, and let the game be forever on.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
