Anyone and everyone who has seen Black Panther has been raving about the movie – and they're right to do so. If you still haven't seen this revolutionary film, read on to find out all the reasons you should head to the theater ASAP.

1. It’s woke.

Representation is so important, and up until now, there has been a clear lack of diversity amongst superheroes. Black Panther is the first black superhero from Marvel, and it’s definitely something to support.

2. Michael B. Jordan is in it.

As if you even need another reason after this. Just watching him act is enough to make people watch this movie in theaters more than once.

3. Women are shown in positions of power.

More importantly, intelligent women are shown as having equal power as men. Imagine that concept! Instead of oversexualizing females as many movies tend to do, Black Panther finds a perfect balance between elegance and authority.

4. The soundtrack is amazing.

Choosing the right music is crucial for a movie with numerous action-packed scenes, and Black Panther does a wonderful job alternating between ethnic music, hip-hop, and instrumentals.

5. Letitia Wright is hilarious.

Shuri, Black Panther’s sister who is played by Letitia Wright, is an actual tech princess in Wakanda, the country in which the movie takes place. She always has a witty comeback to her brother’s comments and is the human form of perfection.

6. The superhero is strong even without his powers.

T’Challa (Black Panther) is stripped of his powers every time he engages in ritual combat, but he still manages to put up a great fight. His strength is not just a function of being a superhero, but rather of hard work and determination.

7. His morals are inspiring.

Black Panther brings to light many very relevant current issues, and his willingness to help everyone regardless of their background is an ethic we should all try to adopt. T’Challa is empowered and cares for Wakanda above all else, but his patriotism inspires him to love and support everyone around him rather than only those from his country.

8. The dialogue delivery is impeccable.

When T’Challa stands in front of the UN at the end of the movie and says “The wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers,” I’m sure I felt chills go through me. Also, a subtle @Trump on that one.

9. The movie is breaking box office records.

If millions of people around the world are watching Black Panther and raving about it, there must be something good to the movie. Whether that be highlighting an amazing bond between family members or depicting a hero’s love for his nation, everyone should watch this incredible film.

So what are you waiting for? Take in every impeccable moment of this movie and each lesson it so beautifully conveys.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
