Before You Do Anything Else, You Need To Watch 'Captain Marvel,' I Mean It

I recommend this movie to anyone, not just girls.

'Captain Marvel'

Recently I watched "Captain Marvel" with some friends. To be honest, I didn't think that I would initially like it because it felt very corny and similar to many of the other Marvel movies, but I wanted to give it a try because having a strong badass female character was a big plus in my book. At first, while watching the movie, I was pretty disappointed by the things Captain Marvel's teammates were saying to her because it felt very patronizing and misogynistic. But what I did like about it was that it immediately jumped into action and that throughout the whole movie, Captain Marvel acted on her own accord and didn't let anyone determine her actions. I loved that.

I felt a bit nervous at first because I thought she would get herself into trouble if she tried to do things alone. But that's what I liked about this movie, it primes you to think how impossible it seems for someone to do something alone and the shows how it can happen with a strong-willed woman.

I recommend this movie to anyone, not just girls. I personally liked it because I found it to be incredibly empowering for girls like me who usually just follow the rules. I think it's important to be aware of the possibility that you can do things on your own without listening to an authoritative figure. That's what a lot of other artists try to communicate in their works, including Beyonce and Pink.

I think it's awesome how society is becoming more receptive of the idea of a dominant, strong, and brave female taking on the roles that the traditional male counterparts plays. But there's still more work to be done, even in modern society - women are subjected to inferior roles in subtle ways, whether it be in our rhetoric or job salaries. In third world countries, it's even worse as women aren't even provided the basic necessities like rights and education like their male counterparts. That's why entertainment is so important because its platform is able to reach so many people.

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.
