Why It's Okay To Be A Movie Nerd

I love Marvel and I'm not afraid to admit it.

Why It's Okay To Be A Movie Nerd

Growing up, my family and I have always loved watching movies. From action packed thrill seekers to romantic comedies, we've seen a good majority of them. All of my life, I have always been a fan of Jurassic Park, super hero movies, Pirates of the Caribbean and Star Wars. Recently, Jurassic World came out. This movie was released 22 years after Jurassic Park III. That's a huge deal. I've been geeking out for this movie as soon as I heard about it.

Another thing that I am definitely obsessed with are Marvel movies. Every time I watch a Marvel movie, I get about as giddy as a kid in a candy store. My face lights up and I jump up and down. If you think I'm kidding, I can promise you that I am not. (I really don't have that much of a life). Anyone can agree that these movies are pure greatness.

One thing that has always annoyed me is the fact that everyone who proudly announces their love for these movies are thought of as "nerds." Because I am a sorority girl many people think of me as the stereotypical sorority girl. Only watching Sex and The City, drinking wine and doing things that are of no importance at all. Don't get me wrong, I love SATC and wine (around my mom, of course, because I can legally drink within six feet of being by her), but I also thoroughly enjoy watching all of the Marvel movies, too. The stereotype that simply because I'm a girl I would probably rather watch the Kardashians than an action-packed movie is insulting. I really could care less about the fact that Kim is trying to get pregnant or that Kylie's lips weren't real. What I do care about is how they are going to make the next Avengers movie. The Avengers may not be real, but that's still better to watch than feeling like my IQ is dropping while watching reality TV.

To every girl out there who is hiding the part of them that loves geek movies, don't be afraid to show your true colors. Live long and prosper.

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.
