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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
