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.

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.
