5 Traits That Make Wonder Woman The Ultimate OG Feminist
Zhen Yu

Since her creation in 1941 by DC Comics, "Wonder Woman" has become a symbol of the feminist movement. With her star-spangled armor and bullet-deflecting bracelets, she was a symbol of female empowerment and justice. For years, "Wonder Woman" played second fiddle to superheroes like Batman and Superman, however, in 2017 she finally received her own movie. Diana Prince's status as the ultimate feminist was cemented in pop culture for years to come, here are five reasons why Wonder Woman is deserving of such a title.

1. She believes in freedom and justice for all: regardless of race, religion, or gender.

Diana believes in a society where all people are created equal! When she fights, she fights for all of us and protects us from those who may challenge those freedoms.

2. She supports all women and sees them all as her sisters.

Never will you hear Diana put down another woman simply because she doesn't like the way she dresses (which is something she cares little about). She supports all women and believes in the strength of the sisterhood. She believes that when women join forces, they can beat back the evil men that seek to destroy their reputations. To quote Lynda Carter in the television series: "Women are the wave of the future"

3. She doesn't allow anyone to stop her from doing what's right.

In the 2017 film version, Steve Trevor attempts to dissuade Diana from going out into No Man's Land in order to rescue those unjustly imprisoned in the German-occupied town. However, Diana refuses to hear it and goes out into No Man's Land, deflecting bullets left and right and leading her men to victory. Diana believes that she can do good for others in the face of adversity.

4. She knows how important teamwork is

Diana knows that greatness cannot be achieved alone, that is why she enlists others to assist her in her battles. She recognizes strength in others and invites everyone to help her defend truth, honor, and justice for all!

5. And most of all, she inspires young women everywhere

Diana makes it a point to tell young women that women are just as powerful as men. She empowers them to use their strength for the good of the people and for themselves. She seeks to push young women to recognize when they are being mistreated or wronged. Wonder Woman is the ultimate big sister who both supports and loves her younger sisters!

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.

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.
