Unpopular Opinions

Here are a few opinions that are very rarely shared.

Unpopular Opinions

It seems like everyone has an opinion these days. The truth is that we've always had opinions. Social media just makes it easier to broadcast all of these opinions. It provides a platform for people to give their opinions, as well as critique the opinions of others. With that being said, I offer you some of my unpopular opinions.

1. George Clooney was my favorite Batman

I never knew why he was my favorite, but he was. Let me be clear: this is not to say that he is the best Batman. I just used to prefer watching "Batman & Robin" to any of the other Batman films. Maybe that had nothing to do with the fact that George Clooney was portraying Batman. It could have been because the Terminator was playing Mr. Freeze. It could have also been because they actually had Batgirl in a movie. It may have just been the different colors in film. Whenever I thought about my favorite Batman, my mind always went to George Clooney. I'm saying this in past tense because now my favorite Batman is Kevin Conroy.


2. Yellow Starbursts are the best

I don't know why people dislike yellow Starbursts.The yellow has the best flavor. The red is the second best flavor. Personally, I could do without the orange.The first time I saw an anti-yellow Starburst meme, I was confused because I thought that everyone liked the yellow kind. Apparently, I was mistaken. The best thing about this is that if I have a friend who dislikes the yellow Starbursts, that friend knows to send them to me.


3. I actually like Jar Jar Binks

As a fan of the "Star Wars" saga, I've seen all seven of the main films. In the prequels, we are introduced to the one and only Jar Jar Binks. This poor fella is a misfit among misfits. I think he is just precious. He tries so hard to help out his friends and his homeland. At home, he is skating on very, very thin ice with his leaders. If you've heard the popular opinions of Jar Jar Binks, you will notice that most people absolutely hate him. I've been trying to figure out exactly why they hate the poor guy. So far, all I can come up with is that his vote helped to place Senator Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious, into office. Another opinion is that he is just flat out annoying and useless. Obviously, he isn't useless. He may have unintentionally and indirectly assisted in the worst attack in history, but in his defense, he never went over to the Dark Side. As far as him being annoying goes, he's like the comic relief. He's harmless and one of the best friends that anyone in that galaxy could have ever had. Jar Jar Binks is innocent.


4. I don't miss high school

Picture it: Mississippi. 2012. Graduation night. The ceremony had just ended and we were no longer high school students. I can't tell you how many of my former classmates were crying. And then there was me. I was so happy to get out of high school. The only tears I would have cried were tears of joy. I never have to go back to high school again. Every now and then, I'll hear someone say that if they could, they would go back to high school and do it all over again. Hahahahahaha, no! There were some teachers whom I miss. I still would not go back. I don't want to say high school felt like a prison for many reasons. One reason being that I don't know what a prison feels like, and I can't compare the two. I don't feel like high school was a waste of time. I do feel like it's just something I don't want to experience ever again. Sure, I made a few good friends. I had a few good laughs. I don't regret high school. I just didn't like high school. If I could go back to high school just for marching band, I would go in a heartbeat. I'm pretty sure that was one of the things that made high school worthwhile. High school just wasn't my cup of tea. It was more like my dose of Robitussin. I needed it to make me better, but I never plan on taking it again.


5. Halloween costumes during October should be acceptable

It's October. One day of costumes just isn't enough. I feel like it should be one long spirit month. To be clear: I don't mean a month of doing seances or playing with Ouija boards to summon up Jimi Hendrix and Chris Farley. I mean it should be a month where you have fun with your clothes. Go to your 8 o' clock class dressed as Darth Vader. Go to the grocery store dressed like Elsa. It's your life. Have some fun with it. It'd be easier to do so if people didn't look at you funny. That's why I think it should be socially acceptable to where costumes throughout the month of October. Another reason for this is because we often find more than one costume that we would love to wear for Halloween. Wouldn't it be much easier if we could have 31 days to dress up. However, I would strongly suggest not dressing as a clown, even on Halloween. Save us all a heart attack.


6. Nickelback is a pretty good band

Kind of like Jar Jar Binks, I have no idea why people dislike Nickelback. I've asked around and so far, the only reason people have given me is that all of their songs sound the same. That is kind of true, but I still like their sound. Maybe there are other reasons, but I have yet to find a decent one to justify all the hate they get.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
