I Sat Down And Watched Every Marvel Movie And TV Show Over The Course Of 5 Months, And I Finally Understand The Hype
Disney+

Back in July, I decided to watch every single Marvel movie ever made. Like almost every other teenage girl, I had a huge celebrity crush on Tom Holland, who plays Spider-Man, and I just had to watch the Marvel Spider-Man movies. Every guy I knew, told me I had to watch Marvel's Avengers: Endgame to watch Marvel's Spider-Man: Far From Home. BUT, in order to watch Marvel's Avengers: Endgame, I needed to watch every single Marvel movie ever made. Thus, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) quickly became my go to entertainment.

With over a decade worth of movies and TV shows, I had no idea where to start. I googled a list to watch everything Marvel in order, and found a GIANT master list. So I started from the beginning with Marvel'sIron Man. I was immediately hooked. I soon fell in love with the character of Tony Stark, and his story.

I had always thought Marvel movies were just superheroes fighting the bad guys, and I didn't see the big hype in that. I also thought that these were boy movies, and I let the stereotype keep me from watching the movies. These movies, and TV shows, are way more than just the fights between good and bad; there are love stories, and character developments, and relationships that make you fall in love with the characters, and their stories. I found myself wanting so much more.

The way these movies are made is brilliant. From the amazing CGI that makes the movie look so real, to the cliff hangers that leave you wanting more. Marvel's movies are three hours of action, love, and conflict that you won't be able to take your eyes away from. Throughout the movies, and TV Shows, I found myself laughing, and crying, and beyond invested. I never thought I would cry because of a superhero movie.

The stories produced in the movies are so top secret, the actors don't even know the full story. According to multiple interviews done by the cast members, the movie producers, and writers don't give the cast the real script so the endings are even a surprise to them! The MCU is a turning point in cinematic development.

In the end, I finally caught up to Marvel's Spider-Man: Far From Home, and saw Tom Holland be Spider-Man, but on my way to get there I fell in love with all things Marvel, and understood why the MCU is so beloved. There is a stereotype in superhero movies being for boys, but I pleasantly found out that they are not; they are for everyone.

So, next time you're looking to find a new movie to watch, maybe check out a Marvel movie, I can guarantee you'll love it.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
