Bring On The Superheroes
Comic Vine

The chest of comic superheroes has been opened by both Marvel Studios and D.C. Comics within these past couple of years and there's no going back. We, the superhero-loving public, are being graced with even more of these epic superheroes within the next couple months to look forward to. So, levels of excitement are bound to be rising and falling within the minds of the public as we begin this journey through the worlds of the superheroes...

The guide to the levels of excitement:

*****= Jump-out-of-your-seat exhilaration.

****= "Can't wait to start watching!"

***= "Hoping this movie lives up to expectation" excitement.

**= Worried apprehension.

*= "Eh, I'm not so sure."

1. Wonder Woman (2017)

*****

Let's be honest, this movie reaches EXTREME levels of excitement, like out-of-your-seat-the-whole-movie excitement. The day of June 2nd brought us the much-anticipated Wonder Woman (2017) movie which has now topped the box office for two weeks in a row and has scored a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. Between the Wonder Woman backstory and then the action-packed scenes of Diana taking charge with her godly powers, I was thoroughly impressed and not to mention totally empower by this film.

2. Black Panther (2018)

*****


We first saw Black Panther, also known as T'Challa, in Captain America: Civil War (2016) and audiences were thrilled to see the emergence of a new empowering character to the Marvel scene. Now that the movie is coming out in February 2018, I, for one, can hardly wait to see his backstory and what evils he will face in order to defend his kingdom. Not to mention the intense levels of excitement at seeing the full extent of his powers which have already promised to be very cool.

3. The Defenders (2017)

****


Netflix's TV series based off of Marvel characters of Jessica Jones (2015), Daredevil (2015), Luke Cage (2016), and Iron Fist (2017) are teaming up to form one miniseries called The Defenders. These superheroes will come together to defend New York City against the evils that threaten to destroy it. This miniseries, which becomes available for streaming on August 18th, promises to be epic as we will see how each of these superheroes work together in the collision of their stories. After binge-watching each of the characters' TV series, my levels of enthusiasm are reaching the edge of my seat in anticipation. Get ready to binge-watch people!

4. Justice League (2017)

***


Ahhh, finally, this November we will see the Justice League team come into fruition outside of a cartoon. However, after the responses to Superman V. Batman: Dawn of Justice (2016), we might be a little worried about this movie as no one wants to see it fail. But, with the success of Wonder Woman (2017), we can keep our hopes up that this movie is going to be just as great as the trailer promises. I mean we are going to see Batman and Wonder Woman working together to form an epic league of superheroes. What could go wrong?

5. Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

**


Alright, here's where enthusiasm levels drop a little. Marvel's Spider-Man character is being remade again in this movie that reaches theaters on July 7th. We've already been introduced to this new Spider-Man, that promises to stay even more true to the Marvel comics, in Captain America: Civil War (2016). It was pretty cool to see him teamed up with all of the Avengers. So, this movie could go either way, but let's at least hope that this Spider-Man will stick. I mean third time's the charm, right?

Thus, here we wait, on the edge of our seats, hoping that each of these superhero movies (or TV Series) will live up to the expectations that have been building since childhood. And it is here that the excitement continues to grow.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
