Why We Need Wonder Woman Now!

Comic con had so much to offer and yet, the most popular trailer of them all Wonder Woman! The first ever major comic book movie staring a female character. We all know her, we all love her, but in the decades of male dominated superhero movies, we are finally getting our heroine.

The movie coming out in 2017 will surely call a whole new crowd to the comic movie adaption crowd. As a long time fan of the warrior princess, I have loved sharing this new character with my cousins and non-comic savvy friends. Although traditional princesses are glamorous, and shows staring strong women are beginning to arise in entertainment, there is no better role model than Wonder Woman.

Introducing Wonder Woman to my little cousins for the first time, I got many questions.

“Does she have a prince? Where is her castle? She fights bad guys and is a princess!”

I watched little girls put down their dolls and play warrior princesses in the park. Protecting stuffed animals and Barbie’s from bad guys. I watched my little cousins discuss together how boys and girls can save the world. After showing them an episode of justice league, my goddaughter came up to me and said “I like Wonder Woman too, she’s cool because she is a princess and pretty and fights bad guys but is still nice to people and the animals. I want to be like her too.”

That was one of the proudest moments I’ve had with my cousins, and when I realized how important it was that we are finally getting our first female superhero movie.

If you are not a WW aficionado, here's what you need to know about her backstory, and the movie coming out 2017!

Comic Background

Wonder Woman aka Princess Diana, has the alias on earth, Diana Prince.

She was created by Zeus the Greek god, and lives on themyscira, where she is princess of the amazons.


She is the goddess of war and uses her super strength, flight, sword, shield, indestructible bracelets, and lasso of truth to fight evil.

She is an original member of the justice league, and can wield Thor’s hammer (yep, that’s the DC counterpart Marvel guy).

The Movie

In this original story, we will see smart humor and gorgeous visuals.

She has an amazing theme song and costume.

She is not just a sex symbol, first and foremost she is a warrior.

Yes, she keeps a sword in her ball gowns!

It has a full cast of boss women including Gal Gadot, Robin Wright, Connie Nielson, and more!

She tells us every woman, can be a Wonder Woman.

Be strong, be bold, be brave, be a Wonder Woman.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
