We Are In A Time Of Greatness For Superhero Movies

"Avengers: Infinity War" isn't going to be a one hit wonder

"Avengers: Infinity War" has been, and will be, the biggest superhero movie of all time. Marvel had been building up this movie for ten years when they came out with the first "Iron Man". Marvel has been the biggest and most successful provider of superhero movies for the past decade. But I'm here to tell you that we are in the golden age for superhero movies, with DC coming for the throne.

If we start talking about popular superhero movies, we have to talk about "Batman." DC and comic book fans alike can agree that the original Superhero movies started with "Batman." Seeing this rich bachelor take on crime was awesome back in the day. DC seemed to control all of the successful movies, but technology got better and people started to get sick of "Batman" only movies. This is when Marvel came to the scene in 2008 and came out with "Iron Man."

"Iron Man" was an instant hit. Kids were buying Iron Man suits for Halloween, buying merchandise and wanting more. This was the first movie out of now twenty for Marvel. "Iron Man 2" followed and after ten years we just saw the release of "Ant-Man And The Wasp" Marvel is seriously the best right now because they always bring amazing content. They are funny, interesting, caring, and emotional. Not only are they raking in billions, but they continue to make society happy with amazing movies. They are the first company to create a movie with an African American lead in "Black Panther" in 2018. It broke box office records and fans from all across fell in love. Marvel's next movie "Captain Marvel" will debut in 2019, and Captain Marvel will be the first female-led actress in their movies. I can guarantee it's going to be a box office success and people will line at the door waiting for it. There is no doubt that Marvel has kicked ass in the box office, but DC is trying to make a come back.

While "Batman" and "Superman" have been cash cows for DC, they have failed to bring a good movie to the theaters in well over a decade. There is some light through, "Wonder Woman" made its debut in theaters in 2017, and was the first movie with a female lead being the main superhero. The movie was awesome and it was their best installation in a long time. DC then came out with "Justice League" later in 2017 and it was a good start. It was not anything like what Marvel has come out with, but it wasn't a bad movie. "Aquaman" will make its way into theaters this year in December and "Shazam" will come out in 2019. Both movies are expected to be good from DC, so they may be able to contest Marvel one day. This day may be far away, but it's pretty cool that we all get to watch superhero films.

Whether you are a fan of Marvel, DC, or both, there is no doubt that we are lucky to see all of these movies. We have never lived in a time where superhero movies were coming out every few months, and it is really making us happy. If you have yet to watch any of these movies, please go watch. I promise it won't disappoint.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
