BY: Emily Mann   When it comes to rising trends around the nation many people are quick to follow.  What a lot of people do not think of are the food trends. Veganism has become a vastly increasing food trend among millennials.  The majority of the population does not go vegan because they believe in the fast spreading myths. These incorrect facts are statements such as: “Going vegan is too expensive” and “You need meat for protein strength and proper health”.

When the first trailer dropped, all eyes were set on their own computer screens waiting to see Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock morph into Venom.

Valak undeniably made a lot of hearts stop and eyes hide behind fingers in her big screen debut, so the likelihood of her getting her own movie was very strong from the get go. When the news broke that Valak was getting her own movie for real, I was super pumped! I mean, she was terrifying in The Conjuring 2 and I craved more of her black sunken eyes and pointy nose. Then the first, and only, trailer came out for The Nun and I was still intrigued but not as h...
