Before You Do Anything Else, You Need To Watch 'Captain Marvel,' I Mean It

I recommend this movie to anyone, not just girls.

'Captain Marvel'

Recently I watched "Captain Marvel" with some friends. To be honest, I didn't think that I would initially like it because it felt very corny and similar to many of the other Marvel movies, but I wanted to give it a try because having a strong badass female character was a big plus in my book. At first, while watching the movie, I was pretty disappointed by the things Captain Marvel's teammates were saying to her because it felt very patronizing and misogynistic. But what I did like about it was that it immediately jumped into action and that throughout the whole movie, Captain Marvel acted on her own accord and didn't let anyone determine her actions. I loved that.

I felt a bit nervous at first because I thought she would get herself into trouble if she tried to do things alone. But that's what I liked about this movie, it primes you to think how impossible it seems for someone to do something alone and the shows how it can happen with a strong-willed woman.

I recommend this movie to anyone, not just girls. I personally liked it because I found it to be incredibly empowering for girls like me who usually just follow the rules. I think it's important to be aware of the possibility that you can do things on your own without listening to an authoritative figure. That's what a lot of other artists try to communicate in their works, including Beyonce and Pink.

I think it's awesome how society is becoming more receptive of the idea of a dominant, strong, and brave female taking on the roles that the traditional male counterparts plays. But there's still more work to be done, even in modern society - women are subjected to inferior roles in subtle ways, whether it be in our rhetoric or job salaries. In third world countries, it's even worse as women aren't even provided the basic necessities like rights and education like their male counterparts. That's why entertainment is so important because its platform is able to reach so many people.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
