With Luke Cage, Black Panther, and the upcoming Captain Marvel, Marvel movies, and Marvel TV shows are finally getting more diverse. So now is as great a time as ever for a Black Widow movie.

Marvel seems like they don't know how a female Avengers movie would play out in theaters, but it's time. Iron Man got a trilogy, Captain America got a trilogy, Thor got a trilogy, and even Hulk got a movie (that we don't talk about).

If Marvel is worried about how female superheroes do in theaters, they need to look no further then Patty Jenkin's "Wonder Woman." The movie did amazing at the box office. It did so well in fact that DC ended up adding extra scenes for Wonder Woman in "Justice League."

Now that the movie "Red Sparrow" is coming out, Marvel really needs to step up their game. "Red Sparrow" starring Jennifer Lawrence is about a Russian woman trained practically from birth to be an assassin. If you watch the trailer it's pretty much a Black Widow ripoff.

If there's one thing we've learned from movies in the last couple years, representation matters. Seeing Black Widow, a badass female superhero get her own movie would be really empowering for little girls to watch. Scarlett Johansson is an excellent actress and would really flourish in her own movie.

Even from a business standpoint, the Black Widow movie just makes sense for Marvel. She's a very popular character in the MCU. Also, movies starting female leads have been doing really well lately like "Wonder Woman" and "Hidden Figures."

Marvel has toyed with the idea of a "Black Widow" movie but has made no commitments. Come on Marvel, it's time.

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.
