Just Because I'm A New Fan To Star Wars, That Doesn't Mean I Like It Any Less Than You Do

I can like Star Wars just as much as you do.

Growing up my father and sister really liked Star Wars. Both of these people severely got on my nerves, so I automatically wrote off the entire series because I had the feeling of, "Oh, you like Star Wars? I guess that means I HATE IT." Anytime someone tried to introduce me to Star Wars I just pushed them aside as I just didn't have any interest. Boy, was I wrong.

Before Episode VII was released my boyfriend showed me the original trilogy just so that would be able to understand what was going on in the movie. After I saw the new one, I became more intrigued by the series but still kept a bit of distance because I didn't want to seem like someone who was merely jumping on the bandwagon.

However, after seeing, "The Last Jedi," the day it came out, I have become completely hooked. I have now seen the prequels, the original trilogy, the current series now coming alive, and am in the middle of, "Rogue One."

One thing that has bothered me, however, is people telling me online in fan groups that I'm not a real fan because I haven't liked it since the beginning. Um ... Excuse me? I wasn't even born yet! I'm sorry that I can't like something while hanging around in an ovary. Just because you've liked something for x amount of years, that doesn't mean new people can't like it either, to be honest, those kinds of ideals are just plain rude.

I think it is important for people to be passionate in the things they care about, whether it be stories or sports, anyone should be free to explore what they love, so DON'T YOU DARE SAY SOMEONE CAN'T LIKE SOMETHING. That is not your place.

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.

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.
