10 Facts about Green Lantern

I have always been an avid nerd at heart, especially when it comes to comic books. One of my current favorites is Green Lantern, protectors of all the 3000 sectors of the universe (Earth being Sector 2814). Listed below are ten facts about the Green Lanterns.

1. There have been/are seven Green Lanterns of Earth

They include Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, John Stewart, Kyle Raynor, Simon Baz, Jessica Cruz and Alan Scott (Golden Age).

2. The Hal Jordan/Sinestro Relationship

Even though Sinestro wants to end the Green Lantern Corps, he has also stated that he sees Hal Jordan as not only his most hated enemy but as his most trusted friend. This is due to Sinestro's time as a GL.

3. Daffy Duck as a Green Lantern

In 2003, Cartoon Network aired an episode of Duck Dodger in which Daffy Duck finds Hal Jordan's power ring and after putting it on is transported to the planet Oa to help battle Sinestro. Hal eventually showed up wearing Daffy's clothes.

4. Kyle Rayner and the power rings

GL Rayner wielded all seven different lantern corps power rings. Because of this, he became the first White Lantern.

5. Hal Jordan once pranked Superman

Hal once was able to emit a construct of kryptonite under the guidance of Batman to prank Superman.

6. John's Willpower

John Stewart's willpower is said to exceed the limits on his Green Lantern power ring.

7. Batman and the Corps

Batman himself was once a bearer of not only the Green Lantern power ring but also the Yellow ring for his ability to instill fear in his enemies, the black ring after his death and the white ring for his rebirth.

8. The Harley Quinn kiss

Harley once kissed Hal Jordan after she was a red/black Lantern. She has also been a Green Lantern.

9. Guy Gardner's Past

GL Guy Gardner grew up in a tough family environment and was a troubled youth but he was able to get himself accepted and graduate from the University of Michigan's psychology program. In the New 52 series, Guy is a former Baltimore Police Officer. He is also the current leader of the Red Lantern Corps after leaving the Green Lanterns.

10. Hal and the Blue Lanterns

Hal Jordan's willpower is so strong that it can power up the entire Blue Lantern Corps.

I hope you enjoyed these ten facts about the Green Lanterns. And as they say:

In brightest day,In blackest night,

No evil shall escape my sight,

let those who worship evil's might

Beware my power....Green Lantern's Light!

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
