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.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
