Ever since "Wonder Woman's" 2017 release, I have been quite an obsessed fan. Go through my wardrobe, and you’ll find multiple Wonder Woman T-shirts. Her sword and shield are sitting in my bedroom, waiting to be used on Halloween. (Pictures to come). Besides the point, here are five, completely honest, and unfiltered reasons as to why Wonder Woman is my favorite superhero.

1. She is a badass role model for young girls.

In a male-dominated industry, where male superheroes are far more common, it is awesome for a woman to come in, hold her own, and level up with the guys. Wonder Woman shows young girls that they can do everything that a man can, and just as well. (Maybe even better, if we are being honest). Wonder Woman also shows that being physically strong does not have to make you “masculine”. Diana rocks her feminine nature, while also being able to pick up a full tank in later scenes.

2. She is able to do all that fighting in wedges.

All those male superheroes are cool and all, but they do it all in their easy to walk in, flat shoes. That’s cool, but Wonder Woman does all that, and more, in wedges! Talk about badass and fashionable. She does not even stumble! She runs into battle, and takes on everyone, while also looking great in the process. Honestly, that so iconic in my eyes. If only I can do that. I barely look that good when I just go to class.

3. She leaves her comfort zone in order to do what is right.

Wonder Woman, or Diana, lived her entire life in Themyscira. She spent her whole life around the same women, training with them, learning with them, and becoming a part of them. However, when she knows that she would have to leave this all in order to save the world, she does. She leaves everything she grew up with, everything she was comfortable with, in order to help others. This is something I always found inspiring. It was also very eye-opening. Would I leave my comfort zone in order to help others?

4. She does not let her love interest define her as a character.

Often times in media, once a female character has been presented with a love interest, her whole life starts to revolve around her love for this interest. Of course, this is not accurate to real life, but that is how most female characters have come to be depicted. With Wonder Woman, this is different. Yes, she has her love interest of Steve Trevor, but that is not completely who she is. In all honesty, their romantic storyline hardly even takes the focus for too long within the film. It is only toward the end of the film in which we begin to see their love grow further.

5. She is loving, kind, and just.

Wonder Woman stands up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. She fights for those who need her help and does so without asking for anything in return. She lives her whole life helping the human race around her, even though they possess qualities that she does not approve of. She does this out of love and kindness, qualities that not a lot of people possess anymore. Therefore, Wonder Woman is my favorite superhero, and she always will be.

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. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.
