Nerdy things contain an immense amount of entertainment and knowledge.

Things You Love Could Positively Impact Others

Many people who are close to me know that I adore nerdy things, such as comic book television shows, movies, etc and various sci-fi creations. Two of the biggest nerdy obsessions I have involve Star Wars and Marvel/DC. I know what you’re probably thinking: “is this guy really about to tell us how much he loves these nerdy things? Who cares?” To answer that metaphorical question: yes, I am about to discuss how these “nerdy things” positively impact some people’s lives.

The reason I chose Star Wars and the Marvel/DC Universe is because of how much effort my parents put into making my childhood as fun as possible. My parents and I have seen all the old Star Wars movies (the old trilogy and new trilogy), and since the new ones have come out, I have purchased the DVD’s and watched the movies with them whenever I visit them. Every Christmas, we watch one of the Star Wars movies and it never gets old. I have a Rebel Alliance tattoo on my right arm because of how much I adore the franchise. In regards to Marvel/DC, the Flash (DC) and Thor (Marvel) have always been my favorite heroes from the respective universes. My dad and I have binge-watched the entire Flash series together, and it makes me happy to know that my parents take a genuine interest in whatever I do and like, despite how nerdy or silly it may be.

Another reason why Star Wars and Mavel/DC have a special place for me is because of my niece and nephew. Whenever I visit them in California, my nephew always touches my tattoo and says “Star Wars Uncle Robbie Star Wars!” He loves seeing the lightsaber battles and imitates the noises, and it cracks me up every time. My niece loves Wonder Woman, and even at her young age, she loves to embody Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman. My sister asks her why she loves Wonder Woman so much, and my niece’s response blew us all away. She said “Wonder Woman does what she wants. She’s a princess, and I’m a princess, I wanna be like her.” My niece is only three years old, yet understands the theme behind that movie. As an uncle, it makes me happy and proud to see my niece and nephew fall in love with the same things I did as a child.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
