Chris Evans' Kind Gesture Should Not Be Unusual — Chivalry May Actually Be Dead

Kindness is such a rarity these days that this small act of chivalry is something we don't see as often.

Chris Evans' Kind Gesture Should Not Be Unusual — Chivalry May Actually Be Dead

The 91st Academy Awards was a night of star-studded glamour topped off with another unforgettable Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper performance. Another moment from the night that left fans in awe was when Chris Evans helped Regina King onto the stage after her dress got caught in her high heels.

This moment quickly generated some buzz on social media. Fans were swooning over what Evans did. In fact, an entire article about this moment was the first thing that popped up on my timeline after the Oscars. However, there was one thing in particular about the article that stuck out to me and has really had me thinking since I read it. In the headline, it mentioned how Chris Evans' actions mean that chivalry isn't dead and to be honest I was a little blown away by this.

I'm a huge Chris Evans fan (he's the best Chris in my opinion. Chris Hemsworth coming in a very close second). However, if a man helping a woman with her dress and onto a stage is what is keeping us believing that chivalry isn't dead, I think chivalry, and kindness, in general, might actually be dead.

People being kind to each other seems like such a rarity these days. We see so much hate on our timelines and on the news that something as simple as this has people knocked off their feet. I certainly praise Chris for his actions, but this should be a wake-up call for society as a whole.

I think we can all learn from this moment that we should all be a little more like Chris Evans every day so that hopefully the next time some does a simple act of kindness for someone we think of it as completely normal instead of something newsworthy.

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.

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.
