I've Finally Watched All (Or Most Of) The Marvel Movies & I Have Many Concerns


Disclaimer: Some spoilers ahead. Read at your own risk.

All the opinions I've written are my own, so if you've come here to drag me because I'm tearing your fave character apart, you're wasting your time. I am a movie-watcher just like you.

I've finally taken the time to watch a majority of the Marvel movies, or at least the ones that matter most. I saw "Avengers: Infinity War" for the first time last weekend (don't drag me, I have a busy life), and there is just a lot that doesn't sit right in my spirit. As "Avengers: Endgame" grows near, I wanted to voice some of these concerns.

As I watched the end credits of "Infinity War" roll on, I thought about all of the Marvel movies that had come before this, ultimately leading to the tragic deaths of so many beloved characters. There was so much information I had to absorb that I felt overwhelmed at first.

I understand that Thanos has this weird desire to wipe out half of the universe, but his reasoning for it didn't make too much sense to me. Sure, he's your average supervillain: no remorse for human life, arrogant, has a group of minions to do his bidding, etc. But power did not seem like his motivator for attaining the Infinity Stones. He mentioned something about wanting to "rest" and I just couldn't understand why he needed to wipe out half the universe just to take a nap.

If you have a poor memory like me, you probably needed to watch recaps of these movies.

There are so many movies and so much important information to retain to understand the Marvel universe. For example, Hydra is mentioned in a multitude of movies and was featured as the main antagonist in the first Captain America movie. Has their role in the Marvel universe faded into the background, or is there a bigger plan for them eventually?

Another concern of mine is the deaths of certain characters. For example, Loki. He faked his death once, so who is to say he hasn't faked it again to betray his brother once more to join Thanos' team? Also, was there a particular reason why certain beloved heroes, such as T'Challa and Dr. Strange, were made to spontaneously combust into confetti? Why not Black Widow? Or the War Machine? We can go without Scarlett Johansson, to be honest.

Hopefully, my concerns will be dispelled at the opening of "Endgame" and everything will make much more sense. But right now, I'm going to catch up on possible theories and maybe re-watch a couple of movies.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
