How To Be A Comic Lover
Odyssey Online

In a world where comic books have started to rampage the media world, it is hard to prove that you are good enough to be in love with the comic book world. People doubt that you actually are actually as big of a fan as comics as you say you are. Well, I have a guide to how to prove that you are a real fan of comics.

Are you ready for this?

Are you sure you are ready?

Here...we...go:

How to prove that you are a real fan of comics? Just be a fan of comics or their movies. You do not need to know everything about every past life of the certain character. You do not need to watch every single comic movie that Marvel and DC has ever made. Loving comic books should not be limited to people that can name every timeline in the entire Marvel Universe. If you do know a lot about the comic world, then that is great! But, we should not be discouraging people from joining all because they have only seen one movie or have only read one comic. We need to be accepting of all the different levels of comic fans. Without new people joining, the community would become stagnant with the exact same people there all the time.

From what I have learned in my time of loving comic books, our community has the hardest time accepting change. Whether it be new fans or a black woman playing Mary Jane. Some people have cherished the characters of certain comic books since their childhood. It is hard to accept change, but without change we never move forward. Our comics would be filled with only white cis males and white cis females. We would not have some of the greatest characters today without change, ie. Deadpool, Falcon, Cyborg, and Black Panther. The comic book community needs to start getting better at accepting new people and new changes.

I love this community so much, but if I had listened to all the people who called me a fake comic book reader when I first started out, I would not be who I am today. My love for comics has out reached any other fandom I have ever joined. The greatest part about comic books is that it changes with the time.

Now, we as readers, need to change with them.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
