Top 5 comic book series
Superheroes are more popular than ever. Ask anyone, and they’ll probably be able to tell you their favorite superhero movie. But what about comic books? Without comics there’d be no “Captain America: Civil War” or “Batman v. Superman” after all. It’s an incredibly heated topic, but I’m willing to take a crack at it. Here are my top five comic book series.

Go back to what you thought as a freshman: From a freshman’s point of view
College, for most of us, marks a large milestone in our lives, preparing us for the next big thing. I went into college with my own set of expectations promising endless opportunities and new life experiences.. Oh boy, could I have been anymore wrong. Not being in a school setting for quite some time (I am not a tradition freshman), I figured it would have a similar structure of high school with just a larger work load. To me, this included not having to study and being able to procrastinate, and I could pass with no problem.

Thank you to the man who brought Philly hockey
Waking up to a string of text messages and alerts of someone dying is not the best way to wake up. Flyers founder and owner Ed Snider died early Monday morning at age 83 after a two-year battle with cancer. Reading those texts and alerts of Snider’s passing put my day in a depressed state before I even stepped one foot out of my bed.

‘Vagina’ is not a dirty word
I vaguely remember sex education class in middle and high school. I recall filling out diagrams of male and female reproductive organs.
