On the 26th of April, 2019, the long-awaited movie "Avengers: Endgame" premiered in the United States of America, sending fans into a frenzy. In the film, characters such as "Thanos," "Iron Man," "Thor," "Captain America," and more were featured as the valiant heroes they have been known to be. Each time the film was seen, viewers hailed and honored the superheroes that cinema enthusiasts have come to adore over the years. While the film was finally released on the 26th of April, the real heroes of our time are being celebrated on May 12th, 2019- AKA, Mother's Day. Here are 9 reasons why moms are the real superheroes. Sorry, Thanos!


1. She always seems to know what you're thinking.

Legend has it that all mothers wield the power of telepathy, but I simply believe that it's a mysterious maternal connection. Even when we don't understand what we're feeling, our mothers always seem to.

2. She will stop at nothing to protect her family.

They say a mother bear will always protect her cubs, and I am here to tell you that this is 200% true. Truly, a mother's love is stronger than all else- even John Cena.

3. She's your biggest cheerleader.

Since day one, every teeny-tiny victory that we've made has been a cause for celebration, and reinforcement of our mothers' pride. Even when we fall flat on our faces, our mothers have always been watchingn from the sidelines armed with glittery posters of support and pom-poms at the ready.

4. She puts up with our crap.

Let's be real here- we all weren't exactly easy to raise. Even so, our mothers gritted their teeth, dealt with our crazy, and loved us anyway.

5. She knows you better than you know yourself. 

From your biggest fears to your favorite ice cream flavor, our mothers keep every little detail about us squirreled away throughout the course of our lives. Some memory, huh?

6. She'll always serve you the truth.

Even when we don't want to hear it, our mothers are always ready to give it to us straight. She's never afraid to cease the sugarcoating and tell us exactly what we need to hear.

7. She's consistent.

Friends may change like the seasons, but our mothers always do their part to remain in our lives. Our lives are constantly changing, but our mothers are always ready to change with us.

8. She's got your back. 

The moment that a tear falls down one's face, our mothers are on the case. Even when you're in despair from the mess you yourself have created, mothers are always ready to share the burden.

9. She's an amazing listener.

From Giphy.com.

Even when our emotions manifest in the form of a long, shapeless speech, our mothers have sat by our side and listened. Sure, they might not always agree with what we say, but they'll always be ready for us to pour our hearts out, armed with tissues, chocolate, and magical motherly hugs.

10. Her love is unconditional.

Even when we mess up- which I tend to do very often- we can be sure that our mothers won't love us any less for the imperfect human beings we are. At the end of the day, our mothers have only one of us, and we have only one of them.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
