Out of the three men that have played him, Holland has been the best.

When it was announced that Tom Holland would play Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I was a little skeptic. I grew up with two people that played Spider-Man: Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.

I remember watching the first "Spider-Man" movie all the way back in 2002. And that movie is what sparked my love for superheroes. To this day, Spider-Man is still my favorite superhero.

So when I saw this kid who is only a few months older than I am about to take up the role of Spidey, I didn't know what to think.

But, I was pleasantly proven wrong.

Looking back before Holland took on the Spider-Man role, I thought that Maguire and Garfield both had their positives and negatives. I thought Maguire was the better Peter Parker and I thought Garfield was the better Spider-Man. But, Holland played both Peter Parker and Spider-Man extremely well.

Although Maguire played a good Peter Parker, there were some flaws. For example, a big issue was the fact that Maguire's Peter Parker had already graduated high school and was going to college and working. Holland's Peter Parker is still in high school which, to me, is far better than working college student Peter Parker.

Holland's Spider-Man is better than Garfield's Spider-Man because he isn't a perfect hero. Garfield almost looked a little too perfect to be playing Spider-Man.

Part of what makes Spider-Man so relatable is that he isn't the perfect hero.

He makes mistakes. He's a flawed character and Holland captures that perfectly whether it's trying to stop a bank robbery to trying to impress Tony Stark.

So, we'll see Spider-Man again in "Avengers: Infinity War." Will he be able to be a hero or will he fail? That's part of what makes Spider-Man one of the best superheroes of all time - we're always kept guessing to see what the web-slinger will do next.

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.
