'Captain Marvel' Will Be The Most Important Movie In Marvel Her-story

Last week there was a lot of activity in the Marvel Universe. The "Captain Marvel" teaser poster released along with new official photos and even the teaser trailer. Needless to say, it was beyond exciting and gave us a shred of hope after the devastation of "Infinity War." This movie is going to be huge for many reasons, the obvious being it's the first female lead in Marvel cinematic history. On top of being a female superhero, Carol Danvers, which is Captian Marvel's alter ego, is also a female Air Force officer.

But, of course with female empowerment come internet trolls.

Captain Marvel or Carol Danvers, played by Brie Larson, has received numerous comments about how she isn't smiling in any of the shots released from the movie. To all my ladies out there we've all been there when some stranger at the grocery store comes up to you with a skeevy line telling you that you would look "prettier" if you smiled. No, leave me alone with my RBF. Anyways, Larson's clap back was the best response ever, she took images of male Marvel characters (so all of them) and photoshopped smiles onto their stern faces making them look creepy while trying to fight off aliens. Point: Larson.

My millennials will also love this part. The whole movie is set in the '90s. In the trailer you catch Captain Marvel falling from the skies and makes a crash landing right in a Blockbuster. Of course, being set in the '90s, Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson, is several years younger in the storyline and the computer-generated imagery (or CGI for short) looks unbelievable. Bring on the '90s nostalgia and iconic fashions!

Captain Marvel will be the strong woman we never knew we needed in our lives and we only have to wait six more months to see it. I could continue on and on going into detail about how I'm already obsessed with "Captain Marvel" and we haven't even gotten a full trailer yet but I'll step down off my soapbox. But, before I do everyone needs to go see this movie when it releases on March 8th, 2019 to make it the best box office weekend Marvel has to date. Maybe then we will get the female lead superhero movies we deserve.

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.

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.
