Redhawk Reel Review: Multiverse of Madness
In the past couple of years, many superhero films and shows have been pushed into the forefront of the entertainment industry.

“I chose to attend Morgan State University to obtain a degree in supply chain management/accounting to become a financial advisor. I hope to help break the cycle of financial illiteracy within young adults, more specifically those within the black community - My community.

Just like that, another school year has come to an end. It seems like just yesterday we were still waiting for the teacher to start up the Zoom meeting. Despite all the craziness of school, we did it! From waking up early in the mornings, to dealing with the overcrowded hallways, to taking test after test, we are finally done. After going through four years of high school, I have a lot of tips, advice, and perhaps some shortcuts for the freshmen, or anyone in high school. There is so much that I wish I had known going into freshman year and throughout high school.
