CAUTION: POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK OF SPOILING A "MARVEL"-OUS CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE.

Marvel's newest hit, "Captain America: Civil War" was released on May 6, 2016, and is already busting blocks the world over. However, those records are minuscule compared to the sheer amount of epic superhero versus superhero showdowns in the film. Iron Man vs. Cap, Hawkeye vs. Black Widow, Vision vs. Falcon. This movie has all of that and more; the emotional roller coaster is more than worth your money. Like one of Stark's flying punches against Captain America's vibranium frisbee, this film is surely going to be one of the biggest hits of the summer.

Like the comics, this movie gets under way with the unfolding of a tragedy - one that only piles up on those that had already happened: New York, Washington D.C. and Sokovia. What ensues from there? A movie so hugely complex that it can only be described as a third Avengers movie.

Jam-packed with a variety of layers, "Civil War" paves the way for an even bigger cinematic universe for Marvel. The movie has been described in many ways; an emotional horror story, a psychologically exhausting work, and the best Marvel movie to date. None of these appellations disappoint - the movie lives up to its name on every level it possesses.

This superhuman brawl is everything that "Dawn of Justice" tried to be, and this one worked. The very start of the movie already has audiences emotional and excited, and the entire movie keeps you on your seat for the full two and a half hours. The punch-to-the-face followed by a punch-to-the-ego method of humor Marvel so eloquently succeeds in using is as big of a hit as those Paul Rudd's Giant-Man lays during the best scene of the film at the Leipsig airport. It is a fun, frightening, and all around phenomenal film for audiences of all ages.

If you haven't already, head to your local theater and see the most recent epic Marvel has released. You will not be disappointed.

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.
