Why Black Widow Deserves Her Own Movie

Black Widow is easily one of the most badass characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The assassin turned Shield Agent, turned Superhero was able to keep up with the enhanced heroes since the first Avengers movie. So why hasn’t Natasha Romanoff starred in her own title Marvel movie? It's time to give Black Widow her own Movie

To start, Agent Romanoff has one of the coolest backstories of all heroes in the Universe. Black Widow grew up in the red room, a secret facility meant to train young girls into becoming expert assassins. We get a few flashbacks of young Natasha in the red room during "Age of Ultron", and get a few more details on what goes on inside of the red room in "Agent Carter" but we don't get a full backstory. We don't get to see what Black Widow actually had to go through and how it shaped her as a person. After the Red Room, Natasha was an expert assassin that Clint Barton was sent to kill. He decided to make a different call. The question is why. How did this chase go down? What made Barton change his mind? Why do we get no information about this? I need answers, Marvel!

To continue, Black widow is one of the least developed characters in the MCU, which is odd when you consider the fact that she was the third hero to appear in the universe. She showed up to the MCU before Thor, Hawkeye, and even Captain America! Yet, somehow she has had very little character development over the years. Four out the original six heroes have had at least one title movie full of backstory and character development. While Clint Barton hasn't starred in his own movie yet, he gets a little character development in "Age of Ultron" when we learn about his hidden farm family. When she first appeared, Natasha Romanoff was a kickass, lady spy with a mysterious past. After "Civil War" she has become… a kickass, lady spy with a mysterious past. Talk about character development.

Finally, Marvel only has one female-led movie planned in the foreseeable future, and that character doesn't actually exist in the universe yet! At least 46% of comic book readers and Marvel movie fans are women. It might be time to actually let a woman star in her own movie for once. I don't believe men won't watch a movie about one of the greatest Shield agents, who started out as the deadliest assassin on the planet, who was brave enough to fight aliens and killer robots without super powers or crazy armor and became a superhero, just because she is a woman. It's time for Black Widow to get her own movie!

And if those weren't enough to convince you, maybe a Black Widow movie will finally tell us what happened in Budapest.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
