Right next to "Black Panther," of course.

'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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
