Embracing Your Inner Nerd

A Short Inspiration in the Heroic Voice

Embracing Your Inner Nerd

I was always told that being a girl meant wearing pink, reading magazines, and obsessing over cute guys. Well, I strayed a bit from the norm, and when I say a bit, I mean I traveled another galaxy. I am the girl with books pilling over books and superhero shirts galore. My timelines consist of superheroes, tattoos, and quotes. The best part is that I am just being me. I do not fit into any certain stereotype, but here is why being a nerdy girl is good, no matter what people think.

If you are like me, then you always have a book with you, so can always talk about the characters with someone who has read it and debate themes. Books become even more debatable once a film or television show is made based on the book. Then you can compare and contrast the book and the film. You can also ruin the movie for anyone who tries to watch it with you, because you will be pointing out all the differences from the book, or you will quote the entire film ad nauseum. Either way, it keeps you entertained!

There is an unlimited amount of movies that are being released if you are into superheroes. The DC universe is in constant competition with the Marvel universe, and for those of you who may not be as nerdy, that is like saying Batman versus Iron Man. Marvel is spitting out new superhero films faster than I can keep up, and if you miss one, you will be slightly lost when watching the next film. DC is finally stepping up to the plate with something other than the brilliant "The Dark Knight Trilogy".

"Batman vs. Superman" is going to be the big bust-out film for the DC universe, as it introduces audiences to the Justice League. The hype for superhero films is unreal, and if you keep up with them, then you will always have a reason to go to the movies!

There are so many more nerdoms (a kingdom without a king, just a group of nerds loving the same thing) out there that they are impossible to count. You have your wizards waiting to get into Hogwarts, the travelers going on adventures in Middle Earth, the Trekkies wanting to get lost in space, and the ones waiting to fall down the rabbit hole into Wonderland. The truth is, you are not alone.

There are nerds for almost everything. I guarantee you will find someone who loves Spider-Man, or any other superhero, just as much as you. Embrace your inner nerd. Being nerdy is a great thing! So call for your dragons, bring out your wand, or put on your cape, because this could be the rise of the nerds!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
